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.
43. 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
44. What does the underlined word “evaporate” in paragraph 2 mean
A．结冰 B．蒸发 C．流动 D．汇聚
45. 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.
46. 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.
47. What would be the best structure for this passage
(①②③④⑤ = Paragraph 1; 2; 3; 4; 5)
D
In the South China Sea, there is a group of Jiaoren. Their tears become pearls (珍珠) after they fall. To the north of Kunlun Mountains, there is a monster called Xiangliu.

However, the human world became dark after the fight. Then Zhu Rong brought fire from the sky to the world and taught humans how to use it.
The book has inspired (启迪) many people. There are also many books, films, games and artworks made from it. Although people don’t know about the writer, they consider Shan Hai Jing as one of the treasures of Chinese culture.
