【解析】 文章的第三句已作交待。穿过南极洲是否乘气球,全文没有提到,故A错。去年决定穿过“死亡谷”,但还没有完成,而C为完成时态,错误。该勘探者此时已是百万富翁,Richard Gray不是过去曾经是百万富翁,故D错误。

【答案】 B

【解析】 因为Death Valley后有一同位语对它进行解释——地球上最热的地方是一个大沙漠地带即地点。在该地有宿营地,有旅店,有人烟,也就是说该地是人们能够去的地方,故B错。此地有游泳池、泉水等,故A错。文章并未提到人们因炎热而死亡,故C错。

【答案】 D

【解析】 因为文章第二自然段第一句中提到,两天之后他喝完了他所有的水,不能向前走,故选C,找水;B选项喝醉,错误;他爬到沙丘顶上并不是看一个人,而是去找水,故D错;迷路之后,过了两天,水喝光了;而不是两天之后才迷路,故A错。

【答案】 C

【解析】 文章已指出,他一到达下一个沙丘顶,就看到一个豪华大宾馆,故选A。

【答案】 A

【解析】 在该旅店,人们都很讲究,戴领带方能进入,Gray尽管是百万富翁,但没有戴领带,所以不能进入旅店。

【答案】 B
