5.（2023·吉林·东北师大附中校联考模拟预测）The Dead Sea might be the most famous saline body in the world, but it’s by no means the only one. Here, we uncover some other salt lakes around the world.
Dead Sea
The most famous of the lot, the Dead Sea—also known as the Salt Sea—is a natural place to start. It’s technically not a sea at all, but a land salt lake. Its waters are mainly drawn from the Jordan River, and the high salinity (盐度) means no life can survive here, so don’t expect any colorful fish. However, much amusement results from the sea’s buoyancy (浮力): Bring some reading material to the waters and lie back—nature will do the rest.
Lake Assal
Surrounded by black volcano rocks, Lake Assal takes the title of being the lowest point in Africa. Vast salt fields mark its edges; the lake has long been at the centre of the area’s salt trade, on which the region’s African locals still rely. Though the area might not be suitable to live in, the waters are rich in minerals and related to health benefits.
Great Salt Lake
The biggest salt lake in the western hemisphere, and the one that gave Salt Lake City its name, the Great Salt Lake finds its home in northern Utah. What makes the lake well-known is not only the lake’s blue and green waters and white-sand beaches, but also Great Salt Lake State Park and Antelope Island State Park, both offering super hiking and biking trails, and great long views.
Don Juan Pond
Don Juan Pond might not win any prizes for its beauty—at four inches deep, it’s little more than a pond, but it is worth visiting. Its salinity content of almost 40 percent  makes it  one  of  the  saltiest  bodies  of  water  on  Earth, meaning it doesn’t freeze even when Antarctic temperatures drop to -50℃. And with suggestions that water in a similar form could exist on Mars, there’s more than one reason for scientists to study this fascinating dry, cold environment.
13．What can visitors probably do in Lake Assal?
A．Read books. B．Have a hike.
C．Enjoy small fishes. D．Take a bath in the lake.
14．What is the Great Salt Lake famous for?
A．Its great parks. B．Its scientific value.
C．Its highest salinity. D．Its specific location.
15．Which lake is valuable for space exploration?
A．Dead Sea. B．Lake Assal.
C．Don Juan Pond. D．Great Salt Lake.

【答案】13．D    14．A    15．C

【导语】本文是应用文。文章介绍了世界各地的四个著名的盐湖。
13．推理判断题。根据Lake Assal部分中的“Surrounded by black volcano rocks, Lake Assal takes the title of being the lowest point in Africa. Vast salt fields mark its edges; the lake has long been at the centre of the area’s salt trade, on which the region’s African locals still rely. Though the area might not be suitable to live in, the waters are rich in minerals and related to health benefits.(被黑色的火山岩包围着，是非洲最低点的称号。广阔的盐田标志着它的边缘，该湖长期以来一直是该地区食盐贸易的中心，该地区的非洲当地人仍然依赖于此。虽然该地区可能不适合居住，但水中富含矿物质，对健康有益。)”可知，这个盐是非洲最低点，且湖水含有丰富的矿物质，对身体有益，由此可推知，游客或许可以在Assal湖洗澡。故选D。
14．细节理解题。根据Great Salt Lake部分中的“What makes the lake well-known is not only the lake’s blue and green waters and white-sand beaches, but also Great Salt Lake State Park and Antelope Island State Park, both offering super hiking and biking trails, and great long views.(使湖闻名的不仅是湖的蓝色和绿色的海水和白色的沙滩，还有大盐湖州立公园和羚羊岛州立公园，都提供超级徒步旅行和自行车道，以及绝佳的远景。)”可知，大盐湖以它的公园们而闻名，故选A。
15．细节理解题。根据Don Juan Pond部分中的“Its salinity content of almost 40 percent   makes it   one   of   the   saltiest   bodies   of   water   on   Earth, meaning it doesn’t freeze even when Antarctic temperatures drop to -50℃. And with suggestions that water in a similar form could exist on Mars, there’s more than one reason for scientists to study this fascinating dry, cold environment.(其含盐量近40%，使其成为地球上含盐量最高的水体之一，这意味着即使南极气温降至-50℃，它也不会结冰。有迹象表明火星上可能存在类似形式的水，科学家们研究这个迷人的干燥寒冷环境的原因不止一个。)”可知，唐璜塘对太空探索很有价值。故选C。
6.（2023·江西·校联考一模）Christmas getaways represent a rare opportunity for families who like to travel. Whether your kids are toddlers, teens, or all grown up, you can usually count on some time off from school and work for everyone to gather in one place. If you’re dreaming of a white Christmas (whether snow or sand), here’s where to go for Christmas.
1. San Antonio
For hundreds of years, the home of the Alamo has adorned its iconic River Walk with Mexican Christmas lanterns believed to help light the way for the Holy Family. Families visiting San Antonio for Christmas vacations between mid-November and mid-January can immerse themselves in this awe-inspiring tradition either by foot or boat with Go Rio Cruises, a kid-friendly tour operator that even lets you stow strollers on board. The holiday magic continues at The DoSeum, San Antonio’s kids’ museum, which hosts an elaborate Winter Wonderland event once a year.
2. Puerto Rico
Beginning the day after Thanksgiving and ending weeks after New Year’s Day, Puerto Rico’s Christmas celebrations comprise colorful street parties, boat parades, lights, lively music, and holiday dishes. San Juan is at the heart of Puerto Rico’s seasonal festivities. The city’s waterfront amphitheater, Bahia Urbana, becomes Navitown, a Christmas-themed carnival with rides, whimsical decorations, and a special rendition of Santa’s Workshop.
3. German Christmas Markets
Nowhere else in the world does Christmas vacations quite like Germany. The birthplace of the Christkindlmarkt could easily light up a map with its sheer number of Christmas markets, each commingled(使…混合) with intricate wooden huts selling everything from handcrafted toys and ornaments to fresh-cooked delicacies and warm gluhwein. Moreover, Dresden are particularly well-regarded for their authenticity and kid-friendly atmosphere. Try a European river cruise: Family-favorite guided tour company Adventures by Disney has both Rhine and Danube Christmas market cruises.
4. St. Augustine, Florida
America’s oldest city, St. Augustine, has had a lot of time to build upon its Christmas traditions over the years. The city’s annual Night of Lights event, during which three million white lights illuminate the historic district from mid-November to late January, has been recognized as one of the world’s top light displays. Landmark attractions such as the Castillo de San Marcos and the St. Augustine Lighthouse and Maritime Museum are also incorporated into the city’s Christmas experiences.
5. South Tyrol, Italy
Surrounded amongst fairy tale towns like Bolzano and Merano, dramatic views of the Dolomites and Italian Alps serve as the backdrop to South Tyrol’s Christmas markets. Adding to the region’s charm is its melding(融合) of Italian, German, Austrian, and Ladin (native Dolomiten) cultures. Families will enjoy chowing down on Tyrolean goulash, strudels, and other diverse specialties while relishing the local scenery, history, and traditions. Bonus: The region is also known for some of Europe’s best skiing.

Families visiting San Antonio for Christmas vacations between mid-November and mid-January can immerse themselves in this awe-inspiring tradition either by foot or boat with Go Rio Cruises, a kid-friendly tour operator that even lets you stow strollers on board.”（几百年来，阿拉莫的故乡一直用墨西哥圣诞灯笼装饰着它的标志性河边小道，据信这些灯笼有助于照亮神圣家庭的道路。在11月中旬到1月中旬之间到圣安东尼奥度圣诞假期的家庭可以通过 Go Rio Cruises 步行或乘船沉浸在这个令人敬畏的传统中。 Go Rio Cruises 是一家适合儿童的旅行社，甚至可以让你把婴儿车放在船上。）可知，游客在San Antonio可以欣赏到其标志性河边小道；“German Christmas Markets”部分中“Try a European river cruise”（试试欧洲的河流游轮）可知，在German Christmas Markets，游客可以享受河流邮轮，即游客也能欣赏到美丽的河景。所以如果游客想要欣赏河景，可以来着两个地方。故选B。
