Does the Dead Sea sound like a place where you’d like to go swimming What do you expect to see in it Do you believe there are dead things in the Dead Sea Lying in southwest Asia, the Dead Sea is about 80 kilometres long, about 18 kilometres wide and about 300 metres deep. It also has some other names, such as the Salt Sea, the East Sea, or the Sea of the Plain. Even though it’s called the Dead Sea, it isn’t a sea at all! It’s a lake. Different from other lakes you might have seen, the Dead Sea is quite a salty lake. In fact, the Dead Sea is one of the saltiest bodies of water in the world. The Dead Sea is so salty that no fish or plants can live in it, though some microorganisms can still survive. That’s why it’s called the Dead Sea. And the Dead Sea stays quite salty because it gets only a little rain, and so little fresh water gets into the Dead Sea each year. Don’t let the name of the Dead Sea make you feel scared. The Dead Sea is a surprising place to visit, and many people go to the Dead Sea each year on holiday. One interesting thing is that anyone can float in the Dead Sea. So if you walk on the beach of the Dead Sea on a warm day, perhaps you can see many people floating in its waters. You might even see many of them reading books or magazines!

B
The Dead Sea lies in the Jordan Rift Valley in southwest Asia. It is a unique and famous natural wonder that attracts people from all over the world. It is about 86 kilometres long and 16 kilometres wide. What’s interesting to know is that the Dead Sea isn’t actually a real sea.
The Dead Sea is a special inland lake with an extremely high salt concentration (浓度)—more than 30 percent. That is about 8 times saltier (含盐更多的) than common sea water. It stays so salty mainly because of its special natural conditions. First of all, it is the lowest point on the earth’s land, so all the salt carried into the lake can never leave. Besides, it gets very little rainfall all year round, so there is not enough fresh water to dilute (稀释) the salt. What’s more, the local weather is always hot and dry, which makes the fresh water in the lake evaporate rapidly. As time goes by, more and more salt is left behind in the lake, so its salt concentration keeps rising day by day.
There are no fish, plants or other living things in the Dead Sea. The high salt concentration makes it hard for any living thing to survive. This is the main reason why people named it the Dead Sea.
However, it is friendly to humans. Thanks to plenty of salt in the water, people can float easily on the surface even without swim rings. Every year, lots of tourists come here to enjoy relaxing floating and have a good time. Unfortunately (不幸地), too many tourists have brought serious pollution.
Gradually, the Dead Sea is facing serious environmental problems. It is necessary for us to realize its situation and take action to protect this amazing natural wonder.
26．What causes the Dead Sea to have such a high salt concentration
① Low land position ② Little rainfall ③ Hot weather ④ Human activities
A．①②③ B．②③④ C．①③④ D．①②④
27．What does the underlined word “evaporate” in paragraph 2 mean
A．结冰 B．蒸发 C．流动 D．汇聚
28．What is the main idea of the third paragraph
A．The local environment. B．Living things in the sea.
C．The sea’s special water. D．The name origin (起源) of the Dead Sea.
29．What problem is the Dead Sea facing now
A．It becomes smaller. B．Its salt level drops fast.
C．More plants grow in it. D．It suffers from tourist pollution.
30．What would be the best structure for this passage
(①②③④⑤ = Paragraph 1; 2; 3; 4; 5)
A． B． C． D．

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍加拿大的面积、人口、民族、野生动物及保护现状。
1．句意：它是世界上面积第二大的国家，而俄罗斯是最大的。
根据空前的“second”和常识，表示“第二大”，应使用最高级“largest”。若用“large”原级则无比较，若用“larger”比较级则需“than”，均不符。
2．句意：但只有世界上0.5%的人口居住在那里。
表示“人口的百分比”用“of the worl’s population”。介词“in”指范围内部，“on”指表面。
3．句意：大约一半的加拿大人他们的根在英国和法国。
叙述客观事实用一般现在时，“half of Canadians”为复数，谓语用“have”，“has”用于单数，“had”为过去时。
4．句意：虽然天气寒冷冰冻，他们中的一些人仍然生活在传统土地上。
“天气寒冷”和“生活在传统土地上”之间为让步关系，应用引导让步状语从句的连词。Although意为“虽然”，符合逻辑。
5．句意：许多其他人已经搬到了加拿大各地的城市。
前文提到“some of them”，此处用“many others”表示“许多其他人”，形成对比。others是代词，指代“other people”。
6．句意：加拿大是许多极好的野生动物的家园。
修饰名词“wild animals”需用形容词“wonderful”。“wonder”是名词或动词，“wonderfully”是副词，均不能修饰名词。
7．句意：这个国家的湖泊和河流充满了鱼。
主语“The country’s lakes and rivers”是复数，且描述一般事实，应用一般现在时的复数形式。are是be动词的复数形式，符合主谓一致。
8．句意：加拿大人努力保护野生动物。
加拿大人努力是为了保护野生动物，用不定式“to protect”作目的状语。
9．句意：然而，一些物种比如狼和大西洋鱼类因人类过度狩猎和捕捞而濒危。
与“Atlantic fish”并列，表示“狼类”泛指多个体，用复数“wolves”。
10．句意：他们希望这些动物将来会安全地生活。
修饰动词“live”需用副词“safely”。“safe”是形容词，“safety”是名词，均不能直接修饰动词。

【导语】本文介绍了中国科学家在广西发现新的巨型天坑，天坑底部有古老森林，并解释了天坑的形成原因及其生态价值。
【详解】11．句意：它深192米。
sinkhole是向下延伸的，描述的应是“深度”，deep“深的”符合。tall“高的”指高度，thin“薄的”，long“长的”，均与深度不符。
12．句意：这个惊人的发现出自广西壮族自治区乐业县。
发现古老森林是“惊人”的事，amazing“惊人的”符合。terrible“可怕的”，early“早的”，careful“小心的”，均与发现的积极意义不符。
13．句意：乐业县以“天坑博物馆”而闻名。
乐业县本身被称作“天坑博物馆”，be known as“作为……（称号）而闻名”，as“作为”符合。for构成be known for意为“因……闻名”，to“到”，with“和”，均与搭配不符。
14．句意：裂缝慢慢地长成地下通道，然后变成大洞穴。
裂缝到隧道再到洞穴是“慢慢”形成的过程，slowly“慢慢地”符合。luckily“幸运地”，easily“容易地”，heavily“沉重地”，均与喀斯特地貌的缓慢形成不符。
15．句意：为什么天坑很重要？
下文解释了天坑的重要性，Why“为什么”符合。When“何时”，Where“哪里”，What“什么”，均与原因不符。
16．句意：除了景观奇特之外，喀斯特洞穴和天坑可以成为各种动植物的家园。
动植物需要“家园”，home“家园”符合，可泛指生物栖息地，贴合动植物生存环境语境。school“学校”，office“办公室”，house“房子”多指人类居住房屋，均与动植物栖息地不符。
17．句意：倘若这些洞穴里存在至今未被科学界记载、描述的物种，我一点也不会感到意外。
新物种未被“报道”过，reported“报道”符合。sold“卖”，saved“救”，left“离开”，均与科学发现无关。
18．句意：这是因为天坑与外界隔绝。
天坑与外界隔绝“所以”新物种未被发现，because“因为”符合，解释原因。but“但是”表转折，whether“是否”表疑问，after“在……之后”表时间，均与因果不符。
19．句意：这为新物种的形成提供了环境。
隔绝的环境“提供”了条件，provides“提供”符合，provide sth. for sth./sb.“为……提供某物”。hurts“伤害”，protects“保护”，helps“帮助”，均与“提供”不符。
20．句意：韦尼告诉记者，它们为全球七亿人口输送水源。
天坑为人类提供“水”资源，water“水”符合。rain“雨”，snow“雪”，food“食物”，均与地下水无关。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了死海的相关信息。
【详解】21．根据第一段“Does the Dead Sea sound like...there are dead things in the Dead Sea ”可知，作者是通过提出问题来开始文章的。
22．根据第二段“Lying in southwest Asia, the Dead Sea is about 80 kilometres long, about 18 kilometres wide and about 300 metres deep.”可知，本段提到了死海的大小和位置。
23．根据第三段描述可知，本段主要讲述了死海是一个非常咸的湖泊。
24．根据“So if you walk on the beach of the...reading books or magazines!”可知，此处“float”的意思是“漂浮”。
25．本文主要介绍了死海的特点及其旅游价值，目的是向读者介绍这个自然奇观。
26．A 27．B 28．D 29．D 30．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了著名的自然奇观——死海。文章详细说明了死海盐度极高的原因、得名“死海”的由来、对人类的独特之处，以及目前因游客过多而面临的污染问题，最后呼吁人们采取行动保护这一自然奇观。
【详解】26．第二段指出死海盐度极高的原因包括：地势极低（it is the lowest point…，对应①）、全年降雨量很少（it gets very little rainfall…，对应②）以及当地天气总是炎热干燥（the local weather is always hot and dry，对应③）。人类活动是后文提到的污染原因，因此①②③正确。
27．第二段中画线词所在句意为“当地天气总是炎热干燥，这使得湖中的淡水迅速……”。结合自然常识和上下文语境，炎热干燥的天气会导致水分快速变成气体散失，因此“evaporate”的意思是“蒸发”。
28．第三段指出死海里没有鱼类、植物或其他生物存活，高盐度使得任何生物都难以生存，最后一句总结道“This is the main reason why people named it the Dead Sea.”，直接说明本段的主旨是介绍死海名字的起源。
29．第四段最后一句指出“Unfortunately, too many tourists have brought serious pollution.”，并在第五段提到死海正面临严重的环保问题，这说明死海目前面临的主要问题是遭受游客带来的污染。
30．分析文章结构可知：第一段（①）总领全文，引出文章的主题“死海”；第二段（②）、第三段（③）和第四段（④）呈并列关系，分别从死海高盐度的原因、死海名称的由来以及供人类漂浮的游乐属性三个方面进行了具体介绍；第五段（⑤）总结全文，指出死海面临的环保危机并呼吁采取保护行动。文章整体呈现经典的“总—分—总”结构，选项D的结构图完美契合这一逻辑。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要描述了作者家乡青海-西藏高原的壮丽景色，包括其世界之最的山峰、丰富的自然色彩以及宁静的生活环境，表达了作者对家乡的热爱和自豪。
【详解】31．句意：它以世界上最高的山而闻名。根据常识可知，青海-西藏高原上有世界最高峰珠穆朗玛峰，此处应用形容词最高级，修饰名词“mountain”，表示“最高的山”，应用high的最高级highest。
32．句意：但是这个地区也充满了大自然中最令人惊叹的颜色。此处是固定搭配“be full of”，表示“充满”，应用介词of。
33．句意：白色随处可见。根据后文“The clouds are clean and soft, like our white sheep.”可知，此处是在描述白色随处可见的景象，应用副词around，表示“到处，周围”。
34．句意：群山在阳光下闪闪发光，像白色的花朵。此处需要一个副词，修饰动词“shine”，表示“闪闪发光地”，应用形容词bright的副词形式brightly。
35．句意：在山上，我们经常可以看到一些牦牛和羊慢慢地走着，自由地吃着草。根据后文“and eat grass freely”可知，此处是在描述牦牛和羊的动作，应用动词walk，表示“行走”，且“see...do sth”表示“看见……做某事”，应用动词原形。
36．句意：可爱的蓝色天空总是给我一种平静的感觉。此处需要一个代词，作动词“give”的宾语，且根据语境可知，是给“我”一种平静的感觉，应用人称代词I的宾格me。
37．句意：它就像高原上的一片大海，言语无法表达我对河流湖泊的爱。此处需要一个动词，表示“表达”对河流湖泊的爱，应用动词show，且情态动词“can’t”后接动词原形。
38．句意：但是绿色现在不仅仅是大自然的颜色。根据前文“Our grasslands, forests and fields are all green.”和后文“green is not just the colour of nature now.”可知，前后文存在转折关系，应用连词but，表示“但是”。
39．句意：我们的商店和餐馆较少。根据后文“and restaurants”可知，此处是在列举高原上较少的设施，应用名词shop，表示“商店”，且“fewer”后接可数名词复数，应用shop的复数形式shops。
40．句意：我很高兴地说，我来自世界上最美丽的地方之一。此处需要一个动词，表示“说”出自己的感受，应用动词say，且“be glad to do sth”表示“很高兴做某事”，应用动词原形。

Does the Dead Sea sound like a place where you’d like to go swimming What do you expect to see in it Do you believe there are dead things in the Dead Sea Lying in southwest Asia, the Dead Sea is about 80 kilometres long, about 18 kilometres wide and about 300 metres deep. It also has some other names, such as the Salt Sea, the East Sea, or the Sea of the Plain. Even though it’s called the Dead Sea, it isn’t a sea at all! It’s a lake. Different from other lakes you might have seen, the Dead Sea is quite a salty lake. In fact, the Dead Sea is one of the saltiest bodies of water in the world. The Dead Sea is so salty that no fish or plants can live in it, though some microorganisms can still survive. That’s why it’s called the Dead Sea. And the Dead Sea stays quite salty because it gets only a little rain, and so little fresh water gets into the Dead Sea each year. Don’t let the name of the Dead Sea make you feel scared. The Dead Sea is a surprising place to visit, and many people go to the Dead Sea each year on holiday. One interesting thing is that anyone can float in the Dead Sea. So if you walk on the beach of the Dead Sea on a warm day, perhaps you can see many people floating in its waters. You might even see many of them reading books or magazines!

B
The Dead Sea lies in the Jordan Rift Valley in southwest Asia. It is a unique and famous natural wonder that attracts people from all over the world. It is about 86 kilometres long and 16 kilometres wide. What’s interesting to know is that the Dead Sea isn’t actually a real sea.
The Dead Sea is a special inland lake with an extremely high salt concentration (浓度)—more than 30 percent. That is about 8 times saltier (含盐更多的) than common sea water. It stays so salty mainly because of its special natural conditions. First of all, it is the lowest point on the earth’s land, so all the salt carried into the lake can never leave. Besides, it gets very little rainfall all year round, so there is not enough fresh water to dilute (稀释) the salt. What’s more, the local weather is always hot and dry, which makes the fresh water in the lake evaporate rapidly. As time goes by, more and more salt is left behind in the lake, so its salt concentration keeps rising day by day.
There are no fish, plants or other living things in the Dead Sea. The high salt concentration makes it hard for any living thing to survive. This is the main reason why people named it the Dead Sea.
