Yellowstone National Park, located in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming, was established as the first national park in the United States. The park is a popular destination for visitors who enjoy ecological (生态的) tourism as it offers forests, mountains, and many ecosystems to explore. Some of Yellowstone’s most well­known landmarks are its geothermal (地热的) hot springs and geysers (间歇泉), the most famous of which is named Old Faithful.

Last fall, Lisa and her friends decided to take a camping trip to Yellowstone National Park. They arranged to stay at one of the park’s many convenient campsites. For their camping trip，they brought their backpacks, sleeping bags, and a cooler of food and drinks. They set up their tents immediately upon arriving at their campsite.

During their trip, Lisa and her friends hiked the many trails (小道) of the park, exploring its natural surroundings. In the forest, they saw a lot of local wildlife. Lisa was blown away by a family of grizzly bears, some gray wolves, and even bald eagles flying overhead. Unexpectedly, she seemed to quite enjoy being in such a great place. They were well protected. Outside of the woods, they admired the beauty of some of Yellowstone’s natural waterfalls.

Since Yellowstone contains many hot springs and the world’s largest area of active geysers, Lisa and her friends visited many different geyser sites.They even spent an afternoon swimming in Yellowstone’s Boiling River. Of all of the sites, Lisa and her friends agreed that Old Faithful was the most impressive. Lisa and her friends waited patiently for the geyser to erupt. After about 40 minutes, a stream of boiling water over 100 feet tall sprayed (喷洒) from the ground and up into the air. Luckily, no one got wet!

Ecuador may have a new tourism jingle, but people there don’t want anyone to actually sing it. Indeed, the country’s latest national park is built on the belief that silence is golden. The South American country has become the first in the world to build a “quiet park” across the Zabalo River where silence is protected like a natural resource.

There are no transport routes here or residential and commercial developments. You can’t even hear the sound of power lines.

Named as Wilderness Quiet Park, the land is owned by the Cofán people of Ecuador. But hopes are high that the unique space in the world increasingly affected by noise will start tourism in the region — quiet tourism, that is.

These days, it’s almost impossible to escape the human noise. And it’s a serious effect on the health of animals and humans. “Science has made it clear that noise pollution is not just an annoyance, it causes health risk and impacts wildlife’s ability to survive.” By recognizing the Zabalo River as the world’s first “quiet park”, we are paving the way for many more such parks around the globe,” says Gordon Hempton, an ecologist and co-founder of Quiet Parks International, an organization which aims to spread quiet across the globe.

So, what’s it actually like when nature is the only soundtrack? Here’s how Sam Goldman, a journalist, describes “The monkeys roar; insects buzz; and birdsong cackles...”

But the park not only gives nature a chance to find its voice. The people who own the land — the Cofán people — have long regarded themselves as caretakers of the rivers and rainforests in the region but their numbers have decreased to fewer than 2,000. Quiet Parks International will help the Cofán people “defend their lands and preserve their culture”.

28. What’s the purpose of this text?

A. To introduce a special park. B. To explain a new living concept.

C. To warn people of noise pollution. D. To recommend a travel destination.

29. What do we know about the Wilderness Quiet Park?

A. It develops rapidly in business. 

B. It values natural quiet very much.

C. It can easily get rid of the human noise. 

D. It provides tourists with various transport routes.

30. What can we know from Gordon Hempton’s words?

A. Wildlife in Ecuador is in danger of extinction.

B. Noise pollution has become a serious problem.

C. There are already many quiet parks around the globe now.

D. The Wilderness Quiet Park is the best quiet park in the world.

31. What can we infer about the Cofán people from the last paragraph?

A. They care little about environmental protection.

B. They are in need of help to protect their safety.

C. Their numbers have decreased due to noise pollution.

D. They have long been protecting their living surroundings.

D

On the morning drive from my treehouse at Yuquiyú to El Yunque National Forest in Puerto Rico, I looked the part of the Prepared Hiker. I wore durable shoes. My backpack was filled with bug spray, sunscreen and enough water. And yet as I approached the main gate, I realized I had forgotten what is becoming the most critical item: knowing a park’s special entry requirements. “Reservations Required” read the sign, upsetting my plans.

From inside the car, I checked recreation.gov for the next available reservation, but on a holiday weekend, the park was fully booked. I ended up in Luquillo, walking on the beach.

Really, I should have known better. When I visited Puerto Rico last February, the pandemic (流行病) had been changing norms (常规) for nearly a year. Travelers were heading to public places run by the National Park Service, the U. S.  Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management, and crowding weak environments. At Great Smoky Mountains National Park, more than 375, 000 people hiked Laure Falls Trail in 2020, an additional 110, 000 pairs of feet from the previous year.

In 2021, Yellowstone National Park set a record in July for the most­visited month in its nearly 150­year history, with almost 1. 1 million recreation (娱乐) visits. Also last year, Acadia National Park in Maine received more than 4 million visitors for the first time. So officials introduced reservation systems to help them control the number of people who can enter the park or access specific roads or trails in a single day.

“The nationwide trend (趋势) of changing visitation patterns before, during and after the pandemic requires continual innovation and effective ways to manage visitor use to ensure that these special place benefit current and future generations,” Stephanie Roulett, a public affairs specialist with the National Park Service, said. “As a result, parks are exploring many different tools that are most effective for their situation to help them improve how visitors get to and experience popular park resources and features.”

32. What did the author realize at the gate of El Yunque National Forest?

A. He was less experienced than other hikers.

B. He forgot to check the entry requirements.

C. He left his supplies in his car.

D. He lost his backpack.

33. What has changed in national parks since the pandemic?

A. The natural environment has improved.

B. The number of visitors has been growing.

C. The threats to the parks have been reduced.

D. The management of the parks is getting easier.

34. Why were reservation systems introduced into national parks?

A. To control the crowd entering parks.

B. To increase the incomes of parks.

C. To monitor visitors’ behavior.

D. To attract more visitors.

35. What is Stephanie Roulett’s attitude to reservation systems?

A. She is thankful.  B. She is uncaring.

C. She is doubtful.  D. She is supportive.

From bird nests on rooftops to forest channels pulling cool air into city centers, innovative ideas are bringing nature into urban areas, all around the world. Here is a city that has found ways to mix greenery into its cityscapes (城市景色).     36   

The High Line on the West side of Manhattan is a 2-kilometer long wheelchair-accessible public park.     37     It closed in the early 1980s and faced destruction before residents worked together to form Friends of the High Line, wanting to put the site to good use.

A design competition in 2003 generated interest and ideas for what to do with the space.     38     But the idea of an above-street level garden was recognized. And so the High Line opened in stages from 2009 to 2019, and is now a city greenway featuring over 150,000 flowers, shrubs and trees.

Engagement with the public is a huge part of the project’s success. In name, the High Line is administered by the NYC Department of Parks Recreation.     39     It’s considered by many to be a model for other cities seeking innovative ways to introduce green space into their urban landscape-Washington D. C.  is hoping to follow the project’s example with their 11th Street Bridge Park.

This project shows how possible it is to mix nature into every cityscape.     40     As an innovative and inspirational way, it gives the whole planet a helping hand, even in the most urban of environments.

A. To be more realistic, it has a far more regional impact.

B. They are of great benefit to the population and the environment.

C. It was built along the remains of a section of a disused railway line.

D. To this end, it has introduced a number of “parklets” around the city.

E. The park is maintained and operated by enthusiastic volunteers in reality.

F. Perhaps rather sadly, amid-city rollercoaster (过山车) was considered impractical.

G. By 2030, no household should be more than a ten-minute walk from an accessible park.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Some theme parks are not only     56    (amuse) but also educational. Take the Polynesian Cultural Center (PCC) in Hawaii for example. It not only shows visitors the Polynesian way of life but also     57     (protect) their skills and culture for the future. Polynesia is     58     name given to the many groups of small islands that are spread about the Pacific Ocean.

    59    (villager) from many island communities come to the Polynesian island villages     60    (show) visitors their styles of dress and different customs. You can learn how they make clothes from bark(树皮) and how they climb very tall trees with their bare feet or see     61     kinds of wedding ceremonies they have.

One of the     62    (important) skills for Polynesians is boat-building, which allows the islanders to explore all the islands in the Polynesian Triangle. We know that in their history they were sea travellers moving     63     island to island. They were able to find their way     64     (use) the smell of the wind, the movements of the fish and seaweed, and the      65     (high) and directions of the waves.

Many years ago, I worked at a very small county animal shelter. Under the state regulations (规则), we were only allowed to keep a dog for a certain period of time before it was claimed (认领) by its owner. Unluckily, we had limited space, and when a new dog came in, we had to make room for it somehow. It wasn’t always the most pleasant task.

One day, about an hour before closing time, a small, elderly, red dog was sent here. We had no space and didn’t know what we should do. My heart broke. In fact, we were supposed to let go of one of the dogs who had been there too long, but the volunteers had been putting in extra hours, bathing the dogs, and taking their pictures to try to find them homes. We were full, but the other dogs all stood a good chance of finding a home if they just had some time.

That little old dog waddled (蹒跚) over to me and sat at my feet. She looked up with cloudy eyes. I lifted her to the desk, and gave her a quick exam. Her teeth were in terrible condition.

We found her a box. To our surprise, the dog whined (哀鸣) and wagged her tail. I set her down on the floor, and she waddled over and climbed into the box! I decided to take her home for the night, and she could spend the days in the office.

I finished up my paperwork while the old dog slept in the box. When it was time to leave, she followed me.

Paragraph 1:

In the morning, she went to work with me.

Paragraph 2:

One of our volunteers knew an old woman who would love this dog.
