2. Where does the Amazon River end?

3. Which river would you like to visit? Why?

七、1. 8/Eight. 2. At the Atlantic Ocean. 3. I'd like to visit the Yangtze River. Because it's in China and I can learn a lot about our country by visiting it. (答案不唯一)

【分析】
这是一篇介绍世界长河的阅读表达题，解题思路非常清晰：首先前两道题属于细节查找类问题，只需要根据题干的关键词，快速定位到对应河流的介绍段落，从原文里直接提取匹配的信息就能得到答案；第三道是开放性问题，只需要任选文中介绍的任意一条河流，给出逻辑通顺、符合常识的理由即可，不需要拘泥于固定表述。
【解析】
1. 定位到The Amazon River对应的段落，找到句子"It is in the continent of South America and runs through eight countries including Brazil, Venezuela, Bolivia, and Ecuador."，可以直接得出亚马逊河流经的国家数量为8个。
2. 同样在The Amazon River的介绍段落末尾，找到句子"It ends at the Atlantic Ocean."，直接提取对应的地点信息即可。
3. 本题没有唯一标准答案，选择任意一条文中提到的河流，给出合理的理由都可以，示例选择长江，理由贴合学生自身的生活认知即可。
【答案】
1. 8/Eight.
2. At the Atlantic Ocean.
3. I'd like to visit the Yangtze River. Because it's in China and I can learn a lot about our country by visiting it. (答案不唯一)
【知识点】
阅读细节查找；英语情景表达；世界河流常识

本题难度较低，前两道细节题只要能准确定位原文内容就能轻松得分，第三道开放题兼顾了语言输出和常识拓展，既考察学生的信息提取能力，也引导学生了解自然地理相关知识，建立对河流地貌的兴趣。
