【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。
Death Valley is a huge place. It is more than 225 kilometers across the southern part of the state of California, and across the border (邊界) with the state of Nevada.
It can be dangerously cold during the winter months. The air temperature during the summer can be as high as 57℃. The heat of Death Valley has killed people in the past. It will continue to kill those who do not honor the climate. Death Valley does not forgive (原諒) those who are not careful.
Death Valley was named by a woman in 1849. Thousands of people from other parts of the country traveled to the gold mining (開采) areas in California. They were in a hurry to get there before other people did.
Many people were not careful. They made bad choices or wrong decisions. One group of people had reached Death Valley by December. They avoided the terrible heat of summer, but there was not enough water. There were few plants for their work animals to eat. The people could not find a pass through the tall mountains to the west of the valley. They had to kill their work animals for food and began to walk out of the valley.
As they left, one woman looked back and said, “Good-bye, death valley.”
A. Slowly, they ran out of food.
B. Death Valley has a long history.
C. The name has never been changed.
D. Death Valley is a beautiful but dangerous place.
E. That was the year after gold was discovered in California.

Answer 1

【答案】D；E；A；C
【解析】文章大意：本文介紹了死亡之谷的危險(xiǎn)以及它的名字由來。這里冬季非常冷，夏季非常熱。在很多人去加利福尼亞州的黃金開采區(qū)淘金時(shí)，他們在12月份進(jìn)入這個(gè)山谷，沒有足夠的食物，他們殺了工作的動(dòng)物作為食物。當(dāng)他們走出山谷時(shí)，一位婦女說：“再見了，死亡之谷”，這樣死亡之谷的名字再也不改變。

A. Slowly, they ran out of food. 句意：慢慢地，他們沒有了食物。

B. Death Valley has a long history. 句意：死亡之谷有很長的歷史。

C. The name has never been changed. 句意：名字從沒有變過。

D. Death Valley is a beautiful but dangerous place. 句意：死亡之谷是一個(gè)美麗但又危險(xiǎn)的地方。

E. That was the year after gold was discovered in California. 句意：那是在加利福尼亞發(fā)現(xiàn)金子之后的一年。

（1）根據(jù)It can be dangerously cold during the winter months.“它在冬季的月份期間很危險(xiǎn)”故此處介紹死亡之谷很危險(xiǎn)，故選D。
（2）根據(jù)Thousands of people from other parts of the country traveled to the gold mining (開采) areas in California. “成千上萬的人們來自其他地區(qū)去加利福尼亞州黃金開采區(qū)”可知此處這里發(fā)現(xiàn)了黃金，故選E。
（3）根據(jù)They had to kill their work animals for food and began to walk out of the valley. “他們不得不殺了工作的動(dòng)物作為食物”因此他們吃光了事食物。故選A。
（4）根據(jù)As they left, one woman looked back and said, “Good-bye, death valley.”可知死亡之谷的名字產(chǎn)生了，流傳下來了，故選C。
