Ⅰ.阅读理解

When Brad Ryan was young,he used to spend a good time with his grandma Joy.Ryan says,“I remember sleepovers at her house when she would teach me to make cookies.”

The two became distant when Ryan’s parents divorced (离婚),but then ran into each other 10 years later.Realizing how much he liked his grandmother and missed that lost time,he made a plan to spend time with her.

About eight years ago,Ryan was telling Joy about his 2009 hike and many adventures living in the wilderness.“Her eyes softened and then she matter-of-factly said,‘I regret that I didn’t get to see more things in life.It would have been nice to see the mountains.’ My heart broke for her,” Ryan recalls.

It wasn’t until a few years later that the two took a trip to the Great Smoke Mountains.After a stressful work schedule,Ryan needed an escape to nature.So he invited his grandma to travel with him.They arrived late at night in the rain with Joy holding the umbrella while Ryan set up the tent.At 85,she had never slept in a tent before,but she climbed 2.3 miles on a trail,receiving high-fives all the way.

“It was a life-changing trip that provided more purpose than anything I had ever done,” Ryan says.“Two years later I set up a GoFundMe called Grandma Joy’s Road Trip in the spirit of making up for the lost time and proving that you’re never too old to pack in a lifetime of adventure and travel.”

In the past four years,they have travelled more than 25,000 miles across 38 states.So far,they’ve visited 29 of the 61 US national parks,with much of the adventure documented on Instagram.

“You never know what’s going to come out of her mouth,and it’s usually interesting.I wouldn’t want to travel the country with anyone else at this point.Of course we bet tired and have our angry moments.There have been difficult moments that we had to work through,but finally we got to where we needed to be.”

Few places in the world can be as good as Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park.This UNESCO World Heritage site has snow-capped mountains and,in its valleys,deep blue lakes.Grizzly bears and mountain lions live in its forests.It is different from most other World Heritage sites due to its location in two countries.This land actually combines two large national parks—Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta,Canada,and Glacier National Park in Montana,United States.

Back in 1931,local Rotary Club members had the idea of uniting the two parks.The Rotarians believed the area could be better protected and enjoyed as one,and their governments agreed.Then,in 1995,UNESCO agreed as well,and the two parks became a single World Heritage site.

For visitors,Waterton-Glacier Park offers many wonderful things to see and do.Have a picnic or go for a hike—or have a picnic on your hike—and be ready to take lots of pictures.On the lakes,take a boat tour,go fishing or simply go for a swim.

Whatever activities you choose,amazing views will surround you.For example,a road tour anywhere in the park will pass through wonderful scenery.Don’t miss the drive westward along the Going-to-the-Sun Road.You will never forget the great views.

A number of small towns lie within Waterton-Glacier Park or close to it.In these places,you can get a bite to eat,buy gifts or find a place to stay in.One must-see is the town of Waterton and Prince of Wales Hotel.Camping in the park is a very popular activity.If you camp,be sure to keep food locked away at night.Otherwise,you may have an unwanted visit from a bear.

Words cannot describe beautiful Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park.You have to see it for yourself!

5.What is special about Waterton-Glacier Park compared with other World Heritage sites?

A.It is cold and snowy all year round.

B.It is home to a variety of endangered wildlife.

C.It has plenty of natural resources.

D.It includes two parks in the US and Canada.

6.Who first suggested joining Waterton Lakes National Park and Glacier National Park together?

C.The Canada government. D.UNESCO.

7.What does the underlined word “surround” mean in the fourth paragraph?

A.Be all around. B.Be familiar to.

C.Be suitable for. D.Be related to.

8.Why do people in the camp need to put away their food at night?

A.Towns are far away and it’s not easy to buy food.

B.There are so many visitors that food may not be enough.

C.Wild animals will come to the camp for food.
