Do you know what the world's highest waterfall is? You may say that it is Niagara Falls. Niagara Falls are really beautiful, but in terms of the height, Angel Falls are the most fantastic in the world. They are deep in the jungles(丛林)of Venezuela.
Few people have ever seen Angel Falls. It's very hard to get there. If you go there on foot, you have to travel for weeks through thick jungles. If you go by plane from Caracas, a city on the southern coast, it will take about four hours.
One of the most interesting facts about Angel Falls is how they were found. They were named after an American pilot. His name was Jimmie Angel. In 1937, his plane crashed(坠毁)near the top of the falls. That's how he found them.
Angel Falls drop nearly a kilometre from a tabletop mountain. The water seems to be dropping straight out of the clouds. The height of the falls is very great. By the time the water reaches the ground it has already turned into fog(雾).
根据语篇内容做出判断,正确选A、错误选B、未提及选C。(未提及表示在语篇中没有提到句中信息)
