Wadi Rum is the name given to a valley cut into the sandstone and hard rock in southwest Jordan.______(46)The name Rum most likely comes from an Aramaic word meaning"high" or"elevated".The area around Wadi Rum is now also one of Jordan's most important tourist des-tinations, and attracts an increasing number of foreign tourists, particularly trekkers（越野者）, but also for camel safaris（旅行）or simply day-trippers from Aqaba or Petra. In contrast,there are almost no local or Arab tourists through nearby disi attracts young people from Amman at the weekends.
Popular activities in the desert environment include camping under the stars,riding Arab horses,and rock-climbing amongst the massive rock formations. Jebal Rum(Jebal means moun- tain)is 1,574 meters above sea level.______(47)
But Jordan is not simply a desert environment-it also contains the area which is the lowest point to the face of the Earth-the incredible Dead Sea,popular with tourists for swimming. ______(48)Once the waters reach the Dead Sea they are landlocked and have nowhere to go,so they evaporate,leaving behind a dense,rich cocktail（混合的）of salts and minerals that sup-ply industry,agriculture and medicine with some of its finest products. Once again,tourists bene- fit and can participate in water spa treatments and water therapies.
The Dead Sea is located in the syro-African Rift,a 4,000-mile fault line in the Earth's crust. The lowest point of dry land on Earth is the shoreline of the Dead Sea at 1,300 feet below sea level. Because the lake is at the lowest point,this means that water does not drain from it. ______(49)Figures for the Dead Sea's salinity（盐度）today range from 25% to 35%.
But the greatest tourist attraction is the incredible city of Petra.______(50)It is a vast unique city,carved into the sheer rock face by the Nabataeans,an industrious Arab people who settled here more than 2,000 years ago,turning it into an important junction for the silk,spice and other trade routes that linked China,India and southern Arabia with Egypt,Syria,Greece and Rome .Today,visitors can marvel at the architecture and explore life as it was thousands of years ago.______(49)A: It is the largest wadi(riverbed)in Jordan.B: It is the second highest peak in Jordan,rising directly above the Rum valley opposite Je-bal Urn Ishrin.C: This vast stretch of water receives a number of incoming rivers,including the River Jor-dan.D: The area has been used as a background setting in a number of films.E: Every day seven million tons of water evaporate from the lake,but the minerals remain causing the salt content to increase.F: It is without doubt Jordan's most valuable treasure.
选项 ______(49)
A: It is the largest wadi(riverbed)in Jordan.

E: Every day seven million tons of water evaporate from the lake,but the minerals remain causing the salt content to increase.

答案 E
解析 很明显，第一段是介绍Wadi Rum的，选项A中说他是约旦最大的河床，符合空处内容。
空前一句引入Jebal Rum，接着对其进行进一步介绍，因此B项符合。
空前说约旦包含地表最低点―死海。空后说，一旦这些河水到达死海，它们就被陆地包围，无处可去。显然，这里是介绍死海的形成，选项C符合。其中the waters指的就是选项C中的a number of incoming rivers。
空后面说，现今死海的盐度数据从25%到35%变化。E项，每天有七百万吨水从湖中蒸发，但是矿物质却留在了湖中，致使盐度增加。E项与空前后内容街接紧密。
最后一段介绍约旦最大的游览胜地，F项说，毫无疑问它是约旦最宝贵的财富，符合上下文意思。
