B.Modern fruit did great harm to animals’ teeth. C.The sugar content of modern fruit was lower than before. D.The flavor of modern fruit was not good for the animals. 2.What can we learn from paragraph 3？（　　） A.The sugar content is breeders’ first priority. B.Sweeter fruits are just a result of natural selection. C.The sweetness of modern apples is equal to the average of older ones. D.Molecular approaches are adopted to add the sweetness of modern fruit. 3.What do studies of wild apples in the last paragraph suggest？（　　） A.Apples of old species tasted less sweet. B.The sugar content of wild apples varied greatly. C.The sweetness of modern apples is of the same level. D.Fruit is sweet because bitterness in it has disappeared. 4.What’s the best title for this passage？（　　） A.Modern or Old： Which Is Better？ B.Modern Fruit： Sweetness Is Quality C.Fruit Is Sweeter： It’s Not a Misconception D.Melbourne Zoo： Animals Stop Eating Fruits B 　　While temperatures continue to climb， visitors are still coming to see Death Valley National Park on the California-Nevada border.The park is known as the hottest place on Earth.This past weekend， the temperatures climbed to 53.33℃.Most visitors at this time of year make it only a short distance to any area in the park before returning to the cool air in their vehicles. 　　Early information from the park service shows that across the nation’s 424 national parks， at least four people have died this year from heat-related causes.That includes a 65-year-old man from San Diego who was found dead at Death Valley earlier this month. 　　　Death Valley National Park suggests visitors be careful and not have expectations of rescue.While park rangers （护林员） drive on park roads and can aid tourists in need， it is unsure that lost visitors will get help in time. 　　Physical activity can make the heat feel even worse and leave people exhausted.Alessia Dempster， who was visiting from Edinburgh， Scotland， said， “It’s very hot especially when there’s a gentle wind.You would think maybe that would give you some slight relief from the heat， but it just really does feel like an air blow dryer just going back in your face.” 　　Death Valley is a narrow area that is below sea level and surrounded by high mountains， the park service’s website says.The dry air and small plant coverage let sunlight heat up the park surface.The heat then becomes trapped in the valley. 　　Still， several areas in Death Valley continue to draw tourists.Badwater Basin， made up of salt flats， is considered the lowest point in all of North America.The 183-meter Ubehebe Crater dates back over 2，000 years.And Zabriskie Point is a great sunrise viewing spot. 　　Josh Miller， a visitor from Indianapolis who has been to 20 national parks so far， shared that feeling.“It’s hot， but the scenery is awesome，” he said. 5.What do most visitors do in Death Valley？（　　） A.Cool themselves in time. B.Do lots of physical exercises. C.Stay away from park rangers. D.Carry dryers with themselves. 6.Why does the author mention the 65-year-old man in paragraph 2？（　　） A.To encourage the elderly to travel more. B.To express admiration for mountain climbers. C.To advise people to tour Death Valley more often. D.To show the danger of traveling in Death Valley. 7.What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us about Death Valley？（　　） A.Its covering area. B.Its attractive spots. C.The reason why it is so hot. D.The service of its park’s website. 8.What can be inferred about Death Valley from the last two paragraphs？（　　） A.It has a short history. B.It is worth visiting. C.It draws fewer and fewer tourists. D.It is unsuitable for viewing sunrise.
