五、(跨地理·尼罗河)阅读理解。
The Nile River is the longest river in the world. It's called the "Father of African Rivers". The Nile River was important to survival(生存)in ancient Egypt.
The people of ancient Egypt depended heavily on the river for drinking and bathing. The Nile was also an important transportation route(路线). Traders travelled along the river. They transported objects to other areas. Fishermen used the Nile to catch fish for food. Workers moved stones and other things for making pyramids(金字塔).
The ancient Egyptians created inventive ways of using the river. One important invention, still used today, is the "shaduf". This was designed to get water from the river and move it so the water could be used on land to help the crops grow.
In ancient Egypt, the Nile River flooding wasn't considered a natural disaster(灾难)。Not only did the flooding help water crops, but it also deposited(使沉淀)rich soil along the banks of the Nile. The soil was used to grow crops to feed the ancient Egyptians. The flooding of the Nile also helped the ancient Egyptians survive by providing shelter. When the Nile flooded, it left behind rich soil, as well as mud. The ancient Egyptians used this mud to build mud-brick houses.
Apart from the river, the ancient Egyptians also depended on the "red land". This was the red desert where nothing grew. It protected the people of ancient Egypt by separating the country from neighbouring countries and invading(入侵)armies. The "red land" was rich in valuable metals and gems(宝石).
1. The ancient Egyptians invented the "shaduf" to ___.
A. catch fish B. go boating C. make pyramids D. water crops
2. Which of the following might happen after the flooding in ancient Egypt?
A. Farmers would get a poor harvest. B. The crops would grow faster and better.
C. More traders would travel along the river. D. People would be sad because of the disaster.
3. The ancient Egyptians depended on the "red land" because ___.
A. it provided them with food B. it provided shelter for them
C. it protected them from enemies D. it was an important transportation route
