Death Valley is one of the most famous deserts in the United States, covering a wide area with its alkali sand Almost 20 percent of this area is well below sea level, and Badwater, a salt water pool, is about 280 feet below sea level and the lowest point in the United States. Long ago the Panamint Indians called this place “Tomesha”— the land of fire. Death Valley’s present name dates back to 1849, when a group of miners coming across from Nevada became lost in its unpleasantness and hugeness and their adventure turned out to be a sad story. Today Death Valley has been declared(宣告)a National Monument(纪念碑)and is crossed by several well-marked roads where good services can be found easily. Luckily the change created by human settlement has hardly ruined the special beauty of this place. Here nature created a lot of surprise, almost like the sights on the moon, ever-changing as the frequent(频繁的)wind moves the sand about, showing the most unusual colors. One of the most surprising and variable(多变的)parts of Death Valley is the Devil’ s Golf Course, where it seems hard for one to tell reality from terrible dreams. Sand sculptures(沙雕)stand on a frightening ground, as evening shadows move and lengthen. 1... _______ is the lowest place in the desert. A. Tomesha B. Death Valley C. Nevada D. Badwater 2... The present name of the valley comes from _______. A. an Indian name B. the death of the miners C. the local people D. a National Movement 3... From the passage we can learn that _______.

Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening. One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own. Then, in the country one can rest from the noise and hurry of the town. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and doing some other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has the reward of one who has shared the secret of Nature. Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night. 1..Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. People who like country things prefer to live outside the city. B. People who work in London prefer to live in the country. C. Because of certain disadvantages of living outside London, some people who work in London prefer to live inside London. zxxk D. Because of certain advantages of living outside London, many people who work in London prefer to live outside London. 2.. One can use the same money for ________ to buy a little house with a garden in the country. A. getting a small flat with a garden B. having a small flat with a garden C. renting a small flat without a garden D. buying a small flat without a garden 3.. When the flowers and vegetables in the garden come up, those _______ have the reward of one who has shared the secret of Nature. A. who live in the country B. who have spent time working in the garden C. who have a garden of their own D. who have been digging, planting and watering 4.. People who think happiness lies in the town would feel that _______ if they had to live it outside London. A. their life was meaningless B. their life was invaluable C. they didn’t deserve a happy life D. they were not worthy of their happy life 5.. The underlined word rest in the last paragraph refers to ________. A. the rest time B. the rest people C. the rest of the country D. the rest of the parks and of the sea
