The Nile

The ancient Greek writer Herodotus once described Egypt-with some envy-as'the gift of the Nile'. The Egyptians depend on the river for food, for water and for life. The Ancient Egyptians were able to control and use the Nile, creating the earliest irrigation systems and developing a prosperous {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.

Snaking through the deserts, the Nile would flood almost {#blank#}2{#/blank#} each year in June. Once the water subsided, a rich deposit of sand was left behind, making an excellent topaoil. Seeds were sown, yielding wheat, barley, beans, lentils and leeks. Drought could spell disaster for the Egyptians, so during the dry seasons, they dug basins and channels to deliver water to their land. They also devised simple channels to transfer water at the peak of the flood.

An early system of {#blank#}3{#/blank#} a Nilometer, was used to de determine the size of the floods. Later, during the New Kingdom, a lifting system called a shaduf was used to raise water from the river--{#blank#}4{#/blank#} to the way in which a well is used today.

The Egyptians took up some of the earliest trading missions. Without a(n) {#blank#}5{#/blank#} system they exchanged goods, bringing back timber, precious stones, pottery, spices and animals. Their efforts in medicine were also {#blank#}6{#/blank#} advanced: surgeons performed operations to remove cysts(囊肿). Mummification gave them great understanding of the human body-yet they also relied heavily on various medicines to prevent disease, and discoveries were often confused with superstition(迷信). And while a great deal of time was dedicated to {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the Egyptians thought the stars were gods.

By the 16th century Egypt was under the Ottoman Empire until Britain seized control in 1882. What is now mostly Arabic Egypt only won {#blank#}8{#/blank#} from Britain after World War Ⅱ. The Suez Canal, opened in 1869, {#blank#}9{#/blank#}the country as a center for world transportation. But it, and the completion of the Aswan High Dam in 1971 {#blank#}10{#/blank#} the ecology of the Nile, which now struggles to satisfy the country's rapidly growing population, currently more than 76 million-the largest in the Arab world.

A. measurement B. similar C. remarkably D. monetary E. astronomy F. altered G. civilization H. defined I. independence J. invariably K. dominated

Titanic II Could Sail as Soon as 2022

If you thought the long-delayed project to launch a full-size copy of the ill-fated Royal Mail Ship Titanic was sunk in the water—think again. Just like Celine Dion sang back in 1997, the travel project will "go on and on."

Australian businessman and politician Clive Palmer, who is behind the {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, announced in September that work on the ship had started again. The idea was first floated in 2012. It is said that the new ship will be a(n) {#blank#}2{#/blank#} copy of the infamous ship, which sank in 1912 following a crash with an iceberg (冰山).

To avoid a(n) {#blank#}3{#/blank#} disaster, Titanic II will apparently be equipped with plenty of life boats, modern navigation (导航) and radar equipment. The first voyage, however, will take passengers from Dubai to New York, reports CruiseArabia, with the first sailing {#blank#}4{#/blank#} to take place in 2022. Blue Star Line says the nine-decked ship will be home to 835 cabins, and 2,435 passengers will be {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. You'll be able to buy first-, second- and third-class tickets—just like in the original.

Meanwhile tourists with plenty of money might soon have the chance to dive to the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} of the original Titanic. American company OceanGate has planned diving trips for 2019, costing $105,129 per person.

Of course, the original Titanic voyage ended in {#blank#}7{#/blank#}, with over 1,500 people losing their lives. For many, voyages to the original ship are in bad taste. Steve Sims, founder of The Bluefish, said earlier in 2018 that he doesn't see diving to the original one as {#blank#}8{#/blank#}.

Realistically, it's {#blank#}9{#/blank#} whether Titanic II will ever see the light of day—or whether the diving tours will happen soon. But one thing is for certain, more than 100 years after the Titanic's first and only voyage, global interest in this ship shows no {#blank#}10{#/blank#} of slowing down.
