58、Howisthetablesaltweuseobtained?

Subtractwaterfromtheoceanthroughevaporation.

B、Addwatertotheoceanthroughprecipitation.

C、Dissolvematerialsintheoceanthroughheating.

D、Convertwatervaporintoliquidwater.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：细节题。在文章开头有一段话：OneofIheseisihesublraclionofwaler

fromtheoceanbymeansofevaporation-conversionofliquidwatertowatervapor.In

thismanner,thesalinityisincreased,sincethesaltsstaybehind.这段话告诉我们食

用盐就是利用这种蒸发（evaporalion）方式形成的。

59、AllofthefollowingareprocessesthatdecreasesalinityEXCEPT.

A、runoff

B、precipitation

C、evaporation

D、melting

标准答案：C

知识点解析：判断题。evaporation(蒸发)是增加含盐量的办法，其余选项都是减少

含盐量的办法。所以选项C是正确答案。

60>Whichofthefollowingistrue?

A、Theoceansalinityislowerintropicalregions.

Theoceansalinityishigherincoastalregionswhereriversflowintothesea.

C、Theoceansalinityishigherindryregions.

D、Theoceansalinityislowerinregionswithlittleprecipitation.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：排除题。艰据课文内容，热带地区蒸发量大，所以含盐量也大，这排

除了选项A。在有河流流入的海岸地区，海水被稀释，所以含盐量小，这排除了选

项B。降雨少的地区，含盐量也大，这排除了选项D。选项C是正确答案。

61、Theword"it"inthesentence"seawaterdirectlybeneathfreshlyformedseaicehasa

highersalinitythanitdidbeforetheiccappeared."(paragraph4)refersto.

A、seawater

B、surroundingwater

C、thesaltinthewater

D、thewater

标准答案：A

知识点解析：判断题。弋词il在这里指代seawater,

62、Whatisthepassagemainlyabout?

A^Howtheprecipitationorrunoffisactuallyformed.

B、Howthetablesaltweuseisobtained.

C、Theprocessesthatcauseachangeinoceanicsalinity.

D^Theprocessesthedissolvedmaterialsarcleftbehind.

标准答案：C

知识点。扁：主旨题。艰据文章内容，我们知道文章主要讲的是引起海水含盐量变

化的三个过程，所以选项C是正确答案。
