But that might change for the Taklimakan 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 (山谷) that collects water from mountains, like water running down the face of nearby snow-covered mountains. The Taklimakan Desert lies in the 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 (二氧化碳) 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.( )56. Where does the story happen? A. In China. B. In Japan. C. In North America. D. In Africa.( )57. What did people discover in the Taklimakan Desert? A. Oil. B. Air. C. Water. D. Plants.( )58. What does the underlined word “definition” here mean in English? A. Range. B. Destination. C. Location. D. Explanation.( )59. 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 Taklimakan Desert is in the north-west of China. D. People have never imagined so much water under the sand before.( )60. What does the passage mainly write about? A. The Taklimakan Desert. B. The Tarim Basin. C. Water supplies in China. D. A huge underground ocean in the Taklimakan Desert.C [2023 江门怡福中学阶段练习]配对阅读。左栏是五个世界名胜古迹, 右栏是相应的信息介绍, 请为它们匹配合适的信息(有两项多余)。61. __________ 62. __________ 63. __________ 64. __________ 65. __________五、短文填空(本大题共10 小题, 每小题1.5 分, 共15 分)Museums are a window on history.
