It sits at about 430 meters below sea level, making it the lowest point on the earth􀆳s land. 　　What􀆳s interesting is that the Dead Sea isn􀆳t actually a sea. It􀆳s a lake with a salt concentration(含盐度) of more than 30 percent, which is about eight times saltier than typical seawater. This makes it one of the saltiest bodies of water on the earth. 　　The Dead Sea stays so salty due to its special natural conditions. Each year, it receives very little rainfall, and only a small amount of fresh water flows into it. And the hot weather around the Dead Sea causes the fresh water to evaporate(蒸发) quickly, which makes the salt concentration even higher. For these reasons, it is also known as the Salt Sea. 　　If you were to swim in the Dead Sea, you wouldn􀆳t see any sea life—no plants or animals. The high salt concentration makes it impossible for them to survive there. That􀆳s actually why it􀆳s called the Dead Sea. 　　However, don􀆳t let the name or not having any sea life scare you. Even if you fall into the Dead Sea and can􀆳t swim, you won􀆳t die. The high concentration of salt in the Dead Sea allows anyone to float well, without the need for life buoys(救生圈). In fact, many people visit the Dead Sea every year on vacation. If you walk along the shore(海岸), you􀆳ll likely see many people floating in the water, reading books or magazines. 1.Where is the Dead Sea? A.In the middle of a desert. B.On top of a high mountain. C.In a rift valley in Asia. D.In a deep valley in America. 2.Why did the Dead Sea get its name from “dead”? A.It has no living things. B.No water runs into it. C.It has very little rainfall. D.No people live around it. 3.What can we infer from the last paragraph? A.Swimming in the Dead Sea is tiring. B.The Dead Sea is a popular place for tourists. C.The salt in the Dead Sea is bad for people􀆳s skin. D.The Dead Sea is dangerous for people who can􀆳t swim. 4.What is the writer􀆳s purpose in writing the article? A.To show how the Dead Sea formed. B.To explain how the Dead Sea got its name. C.To let people know more about the Dead Sea. D.To teach people how to float in the Dead Sea. 二、阅读还原 　　Hey there! Let􀆳s set off on an exciting journey to discover our country􀆳s four major plateaus(高原). 　　The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in southwest China is the largest plateau of the four. 1.　　　　 With an average altitude(平均海拔) of over 4,000 meters, it is the highest plateau in the world and is known as the “roof of the world”. This plateau is the birthplace of many Chinese rivers and has over 1,000 lakes, with Qinghai Lake being the largest saltwater lake.  　　In the north of China, we can find the Inner Mongolia Plateau. As the second largest plateau, it􀆳s about 700,000 square kilometers. It lies mostly between 1,000 and 1,200 meters above sea level. The plateau is mostly flat(平坦的) and has wide grassland. 2.　　　  　　The Loess Plateau(黄土高原) is the third largest plateau in our country. It rises between 1,000 and 2,000 meters above sea level. The plateau was named after the yellowish soil(淡黄色土壤) that covers the area. 3.　　　　 Through many studies, some Chinese scientists hold that it was carried by the north wind from the Inner Mongolia Plateau and the Mongolian inland areas over thousands of years.  　　4.　　　　 It mainly spreads over the provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou. The plateau has a great difference in altitude, and it goes down from the northwest to the southeast. The plateau is not flat. It has many mountains and valleys(山谷).  　　5.　　　　 Together, they make up the wonderful plateau sight of China.  A.Which of the four major plateaus is the largest? B.These four plateaus each have their own beauty. C.It covers nearly a quarter of the national land area. D.You may wonder where the yellowish soil came from.
