What's the world's highest waterfall? You may say that it is Niagara Falls. Niagara Falls are really very beautiful, but in terms of height, the most fantastic falls in the world are Angel Falls. They are deep in the jungles of Venezuela.
Few people have ever seen Angel Falls. It's very hard to get there. If you go by car, you will have to travel for weeks through jungles. If you go by plane from Caracas, a city on the southern coast, it will take about four hours.
One of the most interesting facts about Angel Falls is how they were found. They were named after an American pilot. His name was James Angel. In 1937, he crashed(坠毁) his plane near the top of the falls. That's how he found them.
Angel Falls drop nearly a kilometre from a table-top mountain. The water seems to be dropping straight out of the clouds. The height of the falls is so great that by the time the water reaches the ground, it has already turned into fog.

解析
【分析】本题为英语阅读理解题，解题思路是先通读全文把握文章主旨，再针对每个小题的问题，回到原文定位关键信息，逐一比对选项与原文内容，排除错误选项后得出正确答案。
【解析】
50题：根据原文第二段“It's very hard to get there.”可知，很少人见过安赫尔瀑布是因为难以到达，对应选项D。A选项“只能步行前往”与原文提到的可乘车、乘飞机不符；B选项“门票昂贵”、C选项“没有酒店或餐厅”原文均未提及，故排除A、B、C，选D。
51题：根据原文第四段最后一句“by the time the water reaches the ground, it has already turned into fog.”可知，瀑布的水到达地面后会变成雾，对应选项D。A选项“升到云层”、B选项“保持液态水”与原文不符；C选项“从山上落下”是过程而非到达地面后的结果，故排除A、B、C，选D。
52题：根据原文第三段“They were named after an American pilot. His name was James Angel...That's how he found them.”可知，安赫尔瀑布是被一名美国飞行员发现的，对应选项A。B选项“美国游客”、C选项“加拿大飞行员”、D选项“委内瑞拉人”均与原文不符，故排除B、C、D，选A。
53题：全文围绕世界最高瀑布——安赫尔瀑布展开，开头即点明尼亚加拉瀑布不是最高的，最高的是安赫尔瀑布，因此最佳标题为“世界最高瀑布”，对应选项C。A选项“我们该去哪里”、B选项“谁发现了安赫尔瀑布”仅为文章部分内容；D选项“尼亚加拉瀑布”是干扰项，故排除A、B、D，选C。
