and

D.

Read

the

passage

carefully

and choose the best answer to each of the questions.

Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage.

The

large

river

best

known

to

the

ancient

Greeks

was

th

e

Nile

of

spoke

of

the

river

with

admiration

and

c

alled

Egypt

gift

of

the

Nile

reason

for

this

was,first,t

hat

the

Nile

brought

water

to

a

rainless

desert

and,second,tha

t

once

a

year,theriver

overflowed

itsbanksleaving,as

the

water

back,a

new

layer

of

fertile

soil.

The

flood

waters

carry

in

them

soil

(called

silt)

from

the

upper

parts

of

the

river

valley

to

shr

lower

parts,

and

so

to

the

sea.

But

as

the

river

meets

the

sea,

the

sea

acts

as

a

barrier

and

forces

the

river

to

drop

the

silt

it

is

carrying.

There

are

no

tide

in

the

Mediterranean

to

carry

the

silt

awa

y,

so

year

after

year

it

collects

at

the

mouth

of

the

Nile,

and

the

river

must

find

its

way

around

islands

of

the

always

more

distant

Mediterranean.

In

this

way,

a

vast

Area

of

fertile

soil

has

been

built

up

at

the

mouth

of

the

Nil

e

and

out

into

the

sea.

The

river

water

splits

up

to

form

sm

all

branches

winding

across

the

area.

To

the

ancient

Greeks,

t

he

mouth

of

the

Nile

looked

like

the

drawing.

Now we something name things after the

letters of the alphabet

they

resemble(

想，类似

)

：

a

U-turn,

an

I-beam,

a

T-

square,

an

S-bead, and so on. The Greeks did the same. The triangular area of

land built up at the mouth of the Nile looked like the fourth letter of

the Greek alphabet Delta and so this was the name they gave it. The

word is now used for all areas of land formed at the mouth of rivers

which flow into tideless seas, even when they are not triangular in

shape. The Mississippi Delta, for example, is not shaped at all like

the Greek delta, as you will see if you look at a map.

21. Egypt was called______.

A. the gift of the Nile

B. the gift of the desert
