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 a National Monument 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 surprising, almost like the sights on the moon, ever-changing as the frequent wind moves the sand about, showing the most unusual colors. One of the most astonishing and variable parts of Death Valley is the Devil’s Golf Course, where it seems hard for one to tell reality from terrible dreams. Sand sculptures stand on a frightening ground, as evenings shadows move and lengthen.
From the passage we can learn that________.
选项
A、no one had ever known the desert before the miners
B、it’s still not easy to travel across the desert
C、people can find gas-stations, cafes and hotels in the desert
D、people have changed the natural sight of the desert
答案
C
解析
文章第二段。文义推断题。根据第二段首句,排除A选项。根据第二段第三句by several well-marked roads,排除B选项。此处“good services”与选项中的“gas-stations,cafes,hotels"对应,正确答案是C,可以由where good services can be found easily推断出来。从第二段的最后一句luckily和hardly可以得知,自然的景观还没遭到很大的破坏,排除D选项。
