Explore Jordan
Wadi Rum is the name given to a valley cut into the sandstone and hard rock in southwest Jordan.__________(46) The name Rum most likely comes from an Aramaic word meaning "high" or "elevated". The area around Wadi Rum is now also one of Jordan's most important tourist destinations, and attracts an increasing number of foreign tourists, particularly trekkers (越野者) ,but also for camel safaris ( 旅行 ) or simply day-trippers from Aqaba or Petra. In contrast, there are almost no local or Arab tourists, through Disi attracts young people from Amman at the weekends.
Popular activities in the desert environment include camping under the stars, riding Arab horses, and rock-climbing amongst the massive rock formations. Jebal Rum (Jebal means"mountain" ) is 1,574 meters above sea level. __________ (47).
But Jordan is not simply a desert environment--it also contains the area which is the lowest point to the face of the Earth--the incredible Dead Sea, popular with tourists for swimming. __________ (48) Once the waters reach the Dead Sea, they are landlocked and have nowhere to go, so they evaporate, leaving behind a dense,, rich cocktail ( 混合的 ) of salts and minerals that supply industry, agriculture and medicine with some of its finest products.
Once again, tourists benefit and can participate in water spa treatments and water therapies.
The Dead Sea is located in the Syro-African Rift, a 4,000-mile fault line in the Earth's crust. The lowest point of dry land on Earth is the shoreline of the Dead Sea at 1,300 feet below sea level. Because the lake is at the lowest point, this means that water does not drain from it. __________(49) Figures for the Dead Sea's salinity ( 鹽度 ) today range from 25% to35%.
But the greatest tourist attraction is the incredible city of Petra.__________(50) It is a vast,unique city, carved into the sheer rock face by the Nabataeans, an industrious Arab people who settled here more than 2,000 years ago, turning it into an important junction for the silk, spice and other trade routes that linked China India and southern Arabia with Egypt, Syria, Greece and Rome.
Today, visitors can marvel at the architecture and explore life as it was thousands of years ago.
A. It is the second highest peak in Jordan, rising directly above the Rum valley opposite Jebal Umlshrin.
B. This vast stretch of water receives a number of incoming rivers, including the River Jordan.
C. This area has been used as a background setting in a number of films.
D. It is the largest wadi (river bed) in Jordan.
E. Every day seven million tons of water evaporate from the lake, but the minerals remain,causing the salt content to increase.
F. It is without doubt Jordan's most valuable treasure.
答案與解析46.D。從原文來看，空白處前面一句說的Wadi Rum是一條橫穿約旦西南部的峽谷的名字，空白處後一句講的是Wadi Rum的名字中Rum一詞可能來自於Aramaic語，因此空白處談論的應該還是有關Wadi Rum名字的資訊，可以看出答案是選項D(它是約旦最大的河床)，指出了wadi的意思。
47.A。從原文來看，空白處前面一句說Jebal Rum山海拔1574米，所以空白處要填的句子應該是繼續談論這座山，所以只有選項A(它是約旦的第二高峰，矗立在Rum峽谷之上，對著Jebal Umlshrin)符合，其中A項中的Jebal與空白處之前句子的Jebal為詞語復現。
48.B。從原文來看，空白處之前談論的是約旦不僅僅是沙漠，還有死海，空白處後一處談
論的是一旦水到達死海，就會被陸地包圍而無處可去，可知空白處應該談論的是有關死
海的一些資訊，所以正確答案是選項B(這一大片水域彙集了多條河流，包括約旦河)，
其中B項中的water和rivers與空白處之後句子中的'waters為詞語復現。
49.E。從原文來看，空白處之前的句子談到該湖位於最低點，因為湖水無法流走，空白之後的句子談論的是死海的鹽度為25%到35%，由此推知空白處應該談論的是湖水或者鹽度的問題，所以正確答案是選項E(每天湖可以蒸發七百萬噸的水，但是礦物質是保留的，由此導致鹽度上升)，其中E選項中的lake與空白處之前句子的lake為詞語復現，E選項中的salt與空白處之後句子中的salinity(鹽度)為語義復現。
50.C。從原文來看，空白處之前的句子談到最受歡迎的旅遊景點是Petra城，空白之後的句子談到它是個廣闊的和獨特的城市，由此推知空白處應該談論的還是Petra城，所以選項C(該片區域是很多電影中出現過的背景)符合語境，說明了Petra受歡迎的程度。
