江西省红色七校2016届高三第二次联考英语试题 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分） （共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） A Though most of these destinations are actually on the Earth, they are so wild and weird(怪异的)that they seem out of this world. Check them out before you plan your next vacation! Mirror on the Lake Destination: Salar de-Uyuni, Bolivia The Salar de-Uyuni is the world’s largest salt flat—a 10,000-square-kilometer piece of land that, when covered in a few inches of water, becomes the world’s largest mirror. There is so much salt in this area that people have built tables, chairs and even a hotel completely out of salt! One and Only Destination:Socotra Island, Yemen We’ve all imagined what it would be like to wake up on another planet, in a totally new environment. The Socotra Island on the India Ocean is like this! A third of its plant life can’t be found anywhere else in the world and they look like drawings from a Dr. Seuss book…cool! Danger zone Destination: Devil’s Pool, Victoria Falls This is probably one of the scariest out-of-this-world destinations. Victoria Falls in Zambia is home to the world’s most dangerous pool—a pool of water that you can swim in, but be careful because it becomes a waterfall! If you get too close to the edge, you’re in for a 100-meter drop. Think about falling into the deep end! Moany-Moany Destiantion: Moaning Cavern（悲鸣洞）, California This might not be out of this world…rather it’s under it! One of California’s largest caves drops 83 meters below the earth’s surface. The first cool fact about the moaning cavern is that no matter what the temperature is outside, the cave’s inside remains 16 degrees Celsius. And because it’s always warm, the cave walls drip with moisture(因水气而滴水). It’s that dripping which creates a strange moaning sound that the cave is named for. 21.A person’s studying plants will probably visit . the Salar de Uyuni B. the Socotra Island C.
