单选题 What does the passage tell us about rainfall in the desert?

【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】第一段的最后一句“Rains may only come once in five or six years or not fall for a decade or more.The Mojave desert in the United States remained dry for twenty-five years.”从中可以看出,沙漠不是不降雨,而是很少降雨,infrequently意为“罕见地,稀少地”,故D是符合题意的选项。
