We have some practically secret national parks on our lists that you'll want to visit this spring.

Guadalupe Mountains National Park

The most visually striking point here is El Capitan. The massive cliff (悬崖), 2.5 times as tall as the Empire State Building, towers over the rest of the park, which offers you a perfect spot for taking impressive pictures. You can also wander the Salt Basin Dunes, 2,000 acres of shockingly white sands. If you're taking very long hikes, bring plenty of water and some protein-rich snacks.

Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument

The Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument preserves more than 87,500 acres of wild rivers and thick forests. In addition to hiking and camping, Katahdin is a great spot for hunting and fishing. Bring some hiking boots and perhaps trekking poles (登山杖)to cross these rocky forest trails. The park has a day use fee of $5, and the

first-come, first-serve campsites cost $8 per night.

North Cascades National Park

Though the snowy peaks of the North Cascades are dangerous in the winter, it turns into a thick and green park

in the warmer months, filled with beautiful mountain valleys and clear lakes. You can take a guided nature hike or go fishing. Winter driving conditions in the North Cascades can be dangerous, due to water, frost, snow, or ice on the roads.

Organ Mountains.—Desert Peaks National Monument

This is not a national park，but is a national monument. It is home to several rare species of plants and animals，and lava (炫岩)flow. There are excellent chances for hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, and nature photography, as well as overnight hiking. You can also go primitive camping anywhere in the monument for free. It's highly recommended that you should bring plenty of water and sunscreen, and know your fitness level ahead of time.

1. What may attract a photographer most to go to the first park?

A. The steep cliff.

B. The low ticket price.

C. The towers in the park.

D. The particularly white sands.

2. How much should one pay for camping in the second park for 2 days and 1 night?

A. $15.

B. $18.

C. $21.

D. $24.

3. Camping in the fourth park, _____________.

A. you are only allowed to camp in daytime

B. you can only stay one night there for free

C. you can feed rare animals

D. you should be well-prepared

【答案】1. A 2. B 3. D

【解析】

本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个适合春天参观的国家公园。

【1题详解】

细节理解题。根据Guadalupe Mountains National Park部分下的The massive cliff, 2.5 times as tall as the Empire State Building，towers over the rest of the park, which offers you a perfect spot for taking impressive pictures. (巨大的悬崖，高度是帝国大厦的2.5倍，比公园的其它部分都要高，为你提供了一个拍摄令人印象深刻的照片的完美地点)可知，陡峭的悬崖会摄影师拍摄。A. The steep cliff. (陡峭的悬崖)符合以上说法，故选A项。【2题详解】

细节理解题。根据Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument部分The park has a day use fee of $5 ... $8 per night可知，白天5美元，晚上8美元，所以可推断两天一夜为$5+$5+$8=$18，共18美元。故选B项。

【3题详解】

细节理解题。根据Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument 部分的It's highly recommended that you should bring plenty of water and sunscreen, and know your fitness level ahead of time (强烈建议你应该带足够的水和防晒霜，并提前知道你的健康水平)可知，去这个公园，你应该做好充分的准备。D. you should be well-prepared (你应该做充分的准备)符合以上说法，故选D 项。

B

On the morning of July 4, a magnitude 6.4 earthquake rocked Southern California, destroying roads and sending people fleeing to safety. But that wasn't all the Earth had in store: Less than a day and a half later, a powerful

magnitude7. I earthquake shook again. While earthquakes are not unexpected, the two most recent earthquakes are the largest that have struck this area in at least two decades. And a series of large and small aftershocks are expected on the way.

The two earthquakes struck in what's known as the Eastern California shear zone, where the Pacific Plate

crushed against the North American Plate. The recent events occurred when two blocks of Earth moved side by side.

They seemed to have occurred along the same set of faults (断层)lying in an area known as the Little Lake fault zone-in most circumstances, earthquakes hit in a familiar order: There's a large earthquake followed by a series of smaller events. That's because the movement that occurs during a large earthquake causes increased force in the surrounding area.

But things are quite different in some circumstances, such as the recent pair of earthquakes in California, a relatively large earthquake just being the forerunner for an even bigger event. While the difference between 7.1 and

6.4 may seem minor ，magnitude is a logarithmic (对数的) scale. An increase of a unit of magnitude is about 32 times more energy, which means that the energy the second earthquake released is roughly 11 times that of the first one.

''Fortunately, no deaths or major injuries were reported, '' says Bohon, an earthquake geologist. ''It was in a fairly unpopulated area, although a lot of people felt it'' She suggests people who live in earthquake-prone (地震频发的)areas check how prepared they are for the next event. And she also hopes that the earthquake early warning system can play a good role in saving tens of thousands of lives and schools will popularize the knowledge of geological (地质的) disasters among students.

4. What can be learned from the first two paragraphs?

A. The first earthquake was predicted before its occurrence.

B. The two big earthquakes hit the same area within one day.

C. The aftershocks are even more dangerous than the first two earthquakes.

D. The second earthquake is the largest one in Southern California since 2000.
