What does the weather probably like in Mexico?
In countless other ways, the people of the United States are indebted to the Mexicans who once lived in the old Southwest. There were only 75 thousand of them when Mexico ceded the region to the United States, and these were scattered from the Gulf Coast in the east to the shores of the Pacific in the west. They had lived in the borderlands since 1598, more than twenty years before the Pilgrims sailed for the New World. In the course of more than 250 years , they had left their mark on the land. Many of the western states in the United States still bear the lovely lyrical names the Mexican settlers first wrote upon their maps. So do countless rivers and mountains, and thousands of cities and towns. Through trial and error, the rugged Mexicans had learned to survive and prosper in the dry, half-desert land. When English-speaking people poured into the region, the Spanish-speaking people shared their knowledge with the new settlers, making things much easier for them.. Settlers in other parts of the United States did not have this advantage.
选项
A、typical humid
B、changeable
C、less rain
D、extremely desert
答案
C
解析
推理题。原文提及墨西哥人学会了在“dry,half-desert land”的环境中生存和发展起来,因此可推断那里的环境是比较少降雨,A项“潮湿”不对,潮湿的环境不可能干早,B项“changeable”原文没有提及,D项说法夸大事实,原文说法是“halt-desert”。
