21、Today, we’ll visit a place of strange and silent beauty. As beautiful as this place is, its name provides evidence of very real danger. We are exploring Death Valley National Park(死亡谷国家公园）.

Death Valley is a huge place. It extends more than 225 kilometers across the southern part of California into the neighboring state(州）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. Wild flowers 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 (发现）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(短缺）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.

【1】What does Paragraph 3 want to tells 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.

【2】What does the underlined word “survive” mean?

A．become energetic

B．continue to live

C．relax oneself

D．put on weight

【3】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 here.

C．Because the woman was left behind and die there.

D．Because the group of people had a hard time there.

【4】Which of the following shows the right structure of the passage?
