三、阅读理解（共10小题，每小题2分，共20分）
A
The Dead Sea is lcated in (位于) the Jrdan Rift Valley (约旦大裂谷) in suthwest Asia. It is abut 50 kilmetres lng and 15 kilmetres wide at its widest pint. It sits at abut 430 metres belw sea level, making it the lwest pint n Earth's land.
What's interesting is that the Dead Sea isn't actually a sea. It's a lake with a salt cncentratin (含盐度) f mre than 30 percent, which is abut eight times saltier than typical seawater. This makes it ne f the saltiest bdies f water n Earth.
The Dead Sea stays s salty due t its special natural cnditins. Each year, it receives very little rainfall, and nly a small amunt f fresh water flws int it. And the ht weather arund the Dead Sea causes the fresh water t evaprate (蒸发) quickly, which makes the salt cncentratin even higher. Fr these reasns, it is als knwn as the Salt Sea.
If yu were t swim in the Dead Sea, yu wuldn't see any sea life—n plants r animals. The high salt cncentratin makes it impssible fr them t survive there. That's actually why it's called the Dead Sea.
Hwever, dn't let the name r nt having any sea life scare yu. Even if yu fall int the Dead Sea and can't swim, yu wn't die. The high cncentratin f salt in the Dead Sea allws anyne t flat well, withut the need fr life buys (救生圈). In fact, many peple visit the Dead Sea every year n vacatin. If yu walk alng the shre, yu'll likely see many peple flating in the water, reading bks r magazines.

The Taklimakan Desert is the biggest desert in China. It is abut 337,000 square kilmetres. That's as big as three Zhejiang Prvinces.
The sand here is light and sft. When strng winds blw, the sand flies, and the desert mves! It mves frward every year. The desert can cver rads, farms and even peple's hmes.
But nw, we are wrking hard t stp it. In 2024, China finished a 3,046 - kilmetre green belt arund the Taklimakan Desert.
Hw d we stp the sand?
Straw (稻草) Squares
We stick straws int the sand t make big squares. These squares help keep the sand in place. Trees and flwer seeds can grw safely inside.
Sand Barrier (沙障)
We build 1 - metre - tall walls with straws and wires (金属丝). These walls are like silent guardians standing in the desert. When the strng desert winds blw, hitting these walls, their speed gets reduced bit by bit. The winds slw dwn, s they can't carry and spread the sand as heavily as befre. In this way, they play a key rle in preventing sand frm mving.
Deep Rts
Trees and flwers grw rts deep int the grund as if they decide t hld the earth hard. As they grw deeper and thicker, they grw tgether, frming a strng undergrund system. Little by little, the rts hld the sand even harder, silently wrking t keep the land in place.
Energy frm the Sun
In the Taklimakan Desert, where sunshine is rich, we make gd use f this natural treasure. We turn energy int pwer. Then, machines can take water frm undergrund t water plants, helping plants survive in this dry land. In this way, energy frm the sun gives life t plants and brings hpe t the desert.
Thrugh hard wrk, the Taklimakan Desert is nt as "terrible" as befre. Stpping the desert frm becming larger will take a lng perid f time. But as lng as we keep wrking hard and never give up, we can make mre parts f the desert turn green. Let's take actin t make ur cuntry mre beautiful.
61. ________ 62. ________ 63. ________ 64. ________ 65. ________

69. Hw large is the Taklimakan Desert?
70. Hw d yu like the changes in the Taklimakan Desert?
