五、阅读理解

It is hard to imagine a place that's more dangerous than Death Valley. Death Valley is the hottest and the driest place in North America.

Death Valley isn't an easy place to live in. It gets less than two feet （1 foot≈30 cm） of rain a year and it's hot too. In July, temperature often reaches over 46℃.There is even a lake that has turned into salt crystals （晶体）.But it is cold at night. When it gets cold enough, the water on the ground will turn into very thin ice. Then the strong wind—like a large hand—can move the rocks along the icy ground. That is why the rocks can “walk” on their own in Death Valley.

Although the weather condition in Death Valley is terrible, it is still filled with lives. Nothing can stop plants and animals from making it their home. People have found more than 1,000 kinds of plants there. It also has kinds of mammals （哺乳动物）, fish, and birds. The animals aren't all small either.

Finding water is the biggest challenge for anything that lives there. Some plants have roots （根部） that go fifty feet under the ground to find water. Kangaroo rats get the water they need from flowers.

Death Valley really creates a lot of surprises!

26．Death Valley gets ____ of rain a year.（  ）

A. two feet B. fifty-one feet C. less than two feet

27．The most difficult thing in Death Valley is to find ____.（  ）

A. water B. food C. animals

28．The underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refers to （指代） “____”.（  ）
