五、阅读与回答问题。〔人与自然——自然生态〕
Have you ever visited Hukou Waterfall(壶口瀑布)? Hukou Waterfall is always compared to a shining pearl in the middle reaches of the Yellow River. Millions of tourists visit here each year. It lies on the border(边界) of Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces. It is the largest yellow waterfall in the world and the second biggest waterfall in China.
When the Yellow River runs through mountains to Hukou, the river narrows from 300 metres wide to only about 30 metres. The water suddenly falls down into a deep pool as if thousands of wild horses run forward wildly. As a result, a wonderful waterfall appears. It seems that the water pours down from a big teapot, so the waterfall is named "Hukou Waterfall".
The power of the waterfall is tremendous(巨大的) when it is falling down to the pool, so it is hard for you to get close to the main waterfall. Looking from far away, you can still enjoy the amazing yellow ocean of fog-covered water. The beauty of the waterfall is indeed beyond words. You cannot know unless you visit it in person.
There are many wonders at Hukou Waterfall, such as smoke from the river, boats on land and rainbows in the sunshine. The falling water causes smoke and clouds, with colour turning from yellow to grey, grey to blue. People call this heart-shaking view "smoke from the river".
The view of Hukou Waterfall changes according to the season. So you can enjoy its special beauty from spring to winter.
