21、When we think about the desert of the world, water is one of the last things that come to mind. But that might change for the Taklamakan Desert（塔克拉玛干沙漠）in the north-west of China.

There is a huge underground ocean that has more water than all of the great lakes have in North America. “Never before have people imagined so much water under the sand,” professor Li Yan told South China Morning Post. “Our definition of desert may have to change.”

A basin is a valley that collects water from mountains, like water running down the face of nearby snow-covered mountains. Taklamakan Desert lies in Tarim Basin（塔里木盆地）. Two mountains are around the Tarim Basin: to the north are the Tianshan Mountains, and to the south are the Kunlun Mountains. But, if you look at the Tarim Basin, you won’t see any water.

That’s partly because people collect most of the water to water crops. The rest either goes into the ground or dries up into the dry desert air.

So how did this desert have such huge water? It dates back to 2,000 years ago when farmers began watering the land. The soil of the local farmlands is salty, like the ocean, which melts（融化）carbon dioxide from the air more easily than fresh water. As a result, agricultural development over human history has made the carbon sink（碳汇）rich.

The scientists don’t advise people to go digging for it, because it’s very salty.

【1】Where does the story happen?

A．China.

B．Japan.

C．In North America.

D．In Africa.

【2】What did people discover in Taklamakan Desert?

A．Oil.

B．Air.

C．Water.

D．Plants.

【3】The underlined word “definition” here means “_______” in English

A．range

B．destination

C．location

D．explanation

【4】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A．You won’t see any water at the Tarim Basin.

B．There is no water in any desert in the world.

C．The Taklamakan Desert is in the north-west of China.

D．In the past people have never imagined so much water under the sand.

【5】What does the passage mainly write about?

A．The Taklamakan Desert.

B．The Tarim basin.

C．Water supplies in China.

D．A huge underground sea in Taklamakan Desert.

Besides, I hope to marry and have children before I’m 30, but I can’t plan when I’ll meet the right person and I don’t have a boyfriend now.

In my dreams I see myself at 40 running a successful gardening company. I’ll design beautiful gardens for beautiful people.I’ll have a beautiful house with a swimming pool, two beautiful children, and of course a husband who is as successful as I am.Who knows, it could even be Jasper.

23、By the River Seine, a beautiful iron (铁 tower shoots（耸立）straight up to the clouds. It is the Eiffel Tower, the symbol of Paris.

  The building of the tower started in January 1887. In the next 26 months, 50 engineers produced(生产) 5,300 drawings and over 100 workers built more than 18,000 different iron parts for the tower.

  The Eiffel Tower is named after its designer(设计者), Gustave Eiffel. The tower opened to the public on March 31, 1889.On that day, Gustave Eiffel climbed the 1,710 steps of the tower to its top.

  An important part of the tower is the elevators. They started to work when the tower opened in 1889. Today, almost every building has elevators, but back then, those elevators were great technical achievement(科技成果). Every year, many thousands of visitors take the elevators to the top of the tower for a better view of Paris.
