【题目】被称为世界“雨极”的是(  )

A.火烧燎B.托克逊C.阿塔卡马D.乞拉朋齐

【答案】D

【解析】

根据世界各地的降水分布很不均衡.多雨的地方,年平均降水量可超过10 000毫米.少雨的区域,有时多年滴雨不下.在世界年平均降水量分布图上,可了解到世界降水的地理分布,进行分析解答。

人们迄今所记录到的年降雨量最多的地方有两处:一处是印度东北部喜马拉雅山脉南麓的乞拉朋齐(东经91°50′,北纬25°20′),受地形因素影响多年平均年降雨量10818 毫米;另一处在夏威夷群岛卡维金尼山(西经159°30′,北纬22°5′)的东北山麓,多年平均年降雨量11684毫米。人们形象地称它们为地球的“雨极”。乞拉朋齐还是多项暴雨记录的保持者。在1860年8月至1861年7月的1年中,乞拉朋齐雨量高达26460毫米,也就是说,如果不流走,不蒸发,不渗漏,平地水深可达26米多。其中,1861年7月1个月,其降雨量就有9300毫米,世界其他地方的暴雨,与之相比都黯然失色。结合题意。故选:D。

In February 1974, a group of sports officials gathered in a bar in the Hawaiian Islands to argue: which sports in the world is the most exciting and challenging to test a person's will and strength? Some said it was football, some said it was swimming across the sea, and some said it was long-distance cycling, mountaineering marathons and so on. They expressed their opinions and argued. In the end, Brigadier General John Collins said: who can swim 3.8 kilometers in the rough (风大浪急的) sea in one day, ride a bicycle 180 kilometers around the island, and finally run the 42.195 kilometers Honolulu Marathon. Collins's idea was supported by everyone, so 15 people took part in the game the next day, including one female player. As a result, the race was completed.
