As beautiful as this place is, its name provides evidence of very real danger. We are exploring Death Valley National Park. Death Valley is a huge place. It extends more than 225 kilometers across the southern part of California into the neighboring state of Nevada. Death Valley is a land of beautiful yet dangerous desert and mountains. There are mountains that reach more than 3,000 meters into the sky. Much of Death Valley is flat and dry. In some areas the ground is nothing but salt. Nothing is able to grow in this salty ground. However, it would be wrong to think that nothing lives in Death Valley. The valley is full of life Wildflowers grow very quickly after even a small amount of rain. Several kinds of birds live in Death Valley, as do mammals and reptiles. Many different snakes live there too. The area got its name in 1849. That was the year after gold was discovered in California. Thousands of people from around the country traveled to the gold mining areas of the state. They were in a hurry to get there before other people did. One group trying to reach California decided to take a path called the Old Spanish Trail. By December they had reached Death Valley. But there was a lack of water and there were too 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. Slowly, they began to suffer from a lack of food. To survive, they killed their work animals for food and began to walk out of the valley. As they left, a woman in the group looked back and said,”Goodbye, Death Valley.” The name has never been changed. Death Valley became a national park in 1994. More than one million people visit the park each year. 45. What does the underlined word “survive” mean? A. become energetic B. continue to live C. relax oneself D. put on weight 46. What does Paragraph 3 want to tell us? A. Death Valley is full of life. B. Much of Death Valley is flat and dry. C. Nothing can grow in this salty ground. D. Different animals live in Death Valley. 47 Why did the woman call the area Death Valley? A. Because people didn’t know how to walk out of the valley. B. Because a group of people lost their lives there. C. Because the woman was left behind and died there. D Because the group of people had a hard time there. 48. Which of the following statements is true? A. Death Valley extends from California to Nevada. B. Wildlife is not able to live in Death Valley. C. Gold was discovered in California after Death Valley got its name. D. Death Valley became a national park in 1849 E (1) At the shopping mall (a mall means a big shop), you probably think about spending, not saving. Think about all the lights that keep the mall bright. Think about all the water faucets (水龙头) in the toilet. Think about all the air conditioners in summer. Saving energy is a hot topic for such a big place! (2) Many things at the mall use energy (能量). Electric lights, infrared (红外感应) faucets and air conditioners need electricity to work. One way to save energy is by keeping lights clean, because dirty lights are not as bright as clean ones.

(3) You want to wash your hands and put your hands just under the water faucet. The water starts to come out. You don’t have to turn it on and off. Why do malls have such wonderful faucets? The answer is easy. They save water. Sometimes people forget to turn the water off after they wash. These kinds of infrared faucets turn themselves off. (4) The …… 49.

As beautiful as this place is, its name provides evidence of very real danger. We are exploring Death Valley National Park. Death Valley is a huge place. It extends more than 225 kilometers across the southern part of California into the neighboring state of Nevada. Death Valley is a land of beautiful yet dangerous desert and mountains. There are mountains that reach more than 3,000 meters into the sky. Much of Death Valley is flat and dry. In some areas the ground is nothing but salt. Nothing is able to grow in this salty ground. However, it would be wrong to think that nothing lives in Death Valley. The valley is full of life Wildflowers grow very quickly after even a small amount of rain. Several kinds of birds live in Death Valley, as do mammals and reptiles. Many different snakes live there too. The area got its name in 1849. That was the year after gold was discovered in California. Thousands of people from around the country traveled to the gold mining areas of the state. They were in a hurry to get there before other people did. One group trying to reach California decided to take a path called the Old Spanish Trail. By December they had reached Death Valley. But there was a lack of water and there were too 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. Slowly, they began to suffer from a lack of food. To survive, they killed their work animals for food and began to walk out of the valley. As they left, a woman in the group looked back and said,”Goodbye, Death Valley.” The name has never been changed. Death Valley became a national park in 1994. More than one million people visit the park each year. 45. What does the underlined word “survive” mean? A. become energetic B. continue to live C. relax oneself D. put on weight 46. What does Paragraph 3 want to tell us? A. Death Valley is full of life. B. Much of Death Valley is flat and dry. C. Nothing can grow in this salty ground. D. Different animals live in Death Valley. 47. Why did the woman call the area Death Valley? A. Because people didn’t know how to walk out of the valley. B. Because a group of people lost their lives there. C. Because the woman was left behind and died there. D. Because the group of people had a hard time there. 48. Which of the following statements is true? A. Death Valley extends from California to Nevada. B. Wildlife is not able to live in Death Valley. C. Gold was discovered in California after Death Valley got its name. D. Death Valley became a national park in 1849 【答案】45. B 46. A 47. D 48. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了美国死亡谷及其特点和成因。 【45题详解】 词义推断题。根据“ they killed their work animals for food and began to walk out of the valley.”可知人们为了生存，杀了工作的动物，当成食物，才能走出山谷，划线单词表示“生存”，与B项同义。故选B。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Nothing is able to grow in this salty ground. However, it would be wrong to think that nothing lives in Death Valley. The valley is full of life”可知，死亡谷这里充满了生命。故选A。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Slowly, they began to suffer from a lack of food.

Saving energy is a hot topic for such a big place! (2) Many things at the mall use energy (能量). Electric lights, infrared (红外感应) faucets and air conditioners need electricity to work.

Using fewer lights means using less energy. (3) You want to wash your hands and put your hands just under the water faucet. The water starts to come out. You don’t have to turn it on and off. Why do malls have such wonderful faucets? The answer is easy. They save water. Sometimes people forget to turn the water off after they wash. These kinds of infrared faucets turn themselves off.

They save water.”可知商场有这些红外感应的水龙头是为了节约用水，故选A。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Many things at the mall use energy (能量). Electric lights, infrared (红外感应) faucets and air conditioners need electricity to work. One way to save energy is by keeping lights clean”可知保持灯光清洁是节约能源的一种方法，故选C。 【51题详解】 推理判断题，第二段介绍了三种需要能源的设备，电灯，红外线水龙头和空调。第二三段介绍了如何在使用电灯时节能和红外线水龙头节能的原理，故第四段可能要描述空调如何节能，故选B。 【52题详解】 最佳标题题。根据“At the shopping mall (a mall means a big shop), you probably think about spending, not saving.”和“Saving energy is a hot topic for such a big place!”可知本文主要讲的是商场节能。故选C。 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面的七个选项中选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整。一空一句。 Ink brushes (毛笔) play an important part in Chinese culture. ____53____ Xu Wenyi, 62, is from Wenzhou.
