The following paragraphs are given in a wrong order. For Questions 41-45, you are required to reorganize these paragraphs into a coherent article by choosing from the list A-G. Some of the paragraphs have been placed for you. (10 points)
A. So what do the Americans think of the foreign visitors who arrive for the torrid heat, just when locals from the United States tend to avoid Death Valley? Says park ranger Brenda Henson, "The foreigners want to experience the heat in Death Valley. They think this is neat. I think it’s crazy."
B. The place that the tourists—mainly from Europe—are drawn to is an actually series of salt flats 225 km long and 6 km to 26 km wide. The searing heat of the sun is reflected up from this dry and waterless terrain, and the only noise that breaks the silence in this vast valley is the crunch of visitors’ shoes on the fine salt crystals left by evaporation. Birds and animals are largely absent, and only the hardiest plants have any chance of existence in this unforgiving landscape.
C. According to park rangers, an average of 1.3 million visitors enter the park each year. From June through August, 90 percent of them are foreigners, there to experience the blistering heat that gives Death Valley its name. Art Horton, meteorologist from the National Weather Service, says the average high in July is 46.2 deg C and the low 30 deg C. For August, the average high is 45.2 deg C and the low 29.4 deg C.
D. All around, mountains tower above the salt flats. Across the flats, visitors can see Telescope Peak, the highest point in the park at more than 3,350m. Normally snow covered in winter, the mountain range is bare in summer, but at the edges of the Valley offers some shade from the blistering sun.
E. Even Death Valley’s hot news weather can have extremes above that. The hottest days ever recorded were on June 30, 1994, and July 14, 1972 when temperatul hit 53.3 deg C. And in winter, Death Valley continues to live up to its name, producing coldness at the other end of the scale that can be life-threatening to anyone caught exposed in it. The coldest day recorded in Death Valley was on January 3 1988 when it was 18 deg C below zero.
F. One tourist from Paris sums up the attraction very simply: "We come here because we can tell all our friends and family that we’ve been to the hottest place in t world," he says.
G. Death Valley is the lowest, hottest, driest area in North America. The climate this California National Park has less than sum of rainfall a year and temperatures to 53 deg C in summer. That’s enough to keep sensible Americans away during the hottest months from June to August. But it’s then that the sizzling temperatures a stifling heat draw their most avid fans, the foreign tourists. From all over the glob they descend to the valley floor in rental cars, carrying maps and water bottles, a vigorously fanning themselves with newspapers to keep cool.
Order: G is the 1st paragraph and F is the last one.

答案
C
解析
G段(首段)中的中心主旨句"But it’s then that the sizzling temperatures and stifling heat draw their most avid fans,the foreign tourists"暗示本题的正确选项应该涉及"去死亡谷的游客,尤其是国外游客",选项C恰好符合这一点,因为该段的第一句提到了去死亡谷的游客人数,第二句具体提到了外国游客所占的比例。
