Huangshan, which lies in Anhui province, is on the UNESCO World Heritage List and is one of the top scenic     1     (attraction) in China. HuangShan     2     (it) does not have good transportation links. Most travelers stop in either Tangkou or Tunxi for the nights before and after a visit to Huangshan.

Huangshan has 36 separate peaks, all     3     (rise) above 1,800 meters. Famous throughout Chinese artistic history, Huangshan represents the typical (有代表性的) mountain in Chinese paintings. So far, over 1,450 kinds of plants     4     (find) there.

The main thing to do in Huangshan is walk pround and take photographs of the scenery, which is spectacular (壮观的),     5     (beauty), different and changing in appearance with every change of weather.     6     same view looks quite different by day in fine weather and with cloud, early morning and late evening. Sunrise and sunset are famous but, of course, they depend     7     the weather.

When there is good weather and clear skies, watching the stars at night is     8     (fair) rewarding. If you are staying overnight at a hotel on the mountain then before dark     9     (come), find some good areas     10     you can get away from the hotel lights and look up. You are likely to view a sky full of stars.

Besides oceans, glacier ice is the largest source of water on earth. A glacier is a sheet of ice that moves     1    (it) under the influence of gravity. Some glaciers travel down mountains or valleys,     2     others spread across a large expanse of land.     3    (heavy) glaciated regions such as Greenland and Antarctica are called continental glaciers. These two ice sheets account     4     more than 95 percent of the earth's glacial ice. The Greenland ice is so heavy that much of the region     5    (press) below sea level so far. Smaller glaciers that occur at higher altitudes are called valley or alpine glaciers (山岳冰川). Another way of     6    (classify) glaciers is in terms of their internal temperature. In temperate glaciers, the ice within the glacier is near its melting point.

The     7    (major) of the earth's glaciers are located near the poles, though glaciers exist on all continents, including Africa and Oceania. Glaciers     8    (form) in high alpine regions generally result from cold temperatures throughout the year. The weight and pressure of ice accumulation causes glacier movement. As a glacier moves, it carves out     9     U-shaped valley similar to a riverbed, but with much steeper walls and a     10    (flat)bottom.

The highest point on Earth has a     1    (new) announced height. Mount Everest is 29,031. 69 feet above sea level, according to survey results presented today. That is more than two feet higher     2    the altitude previously recognized by the government of Nepal.

The height,     3     was announced on December 8 in a joint     4    (state) by the Survey Department of Nepal and Chinese authorities, is the result of a multiyear project to measure the mountain. As the first serious survey of Everest in 16 years, the effort has been closely followed by the geographic community—particularly scientists analyzing how a devastating 7. 8 magnitude earthquake in 2015     5    (affect) the region.

Last spring a small group of Nepalese surveyors and guides experienced the     6    （bite) wind of a nighttime climbing, reaching the top at 3 a. m. local time.

“We long     7    (deliver) the message that we can do something with our own resources and     8    (technique) manpower,” Khimlal Gautam, chief survey officer for the project, told National Geographic last year.

In 1856, mathematician Radhanath Sickdhar found that Everest was the     9     (high) mountain in the world while he was working for the Great Trigonometrical Survey, a project devoted to surveying and mapping the Indian subcontinent. Since then, a handful     10     surveys have sought to pin down the mountain's true height with the best technology available at the time.
