Our mother has to leave home every day before we go to school. She has to walk twelve blocks to take the bus to work. We think it’s terrible that there is no bus that comes closer to our street.
I said to my mother, “This is a public transportation system. It is our system. It should come closer to our home. I do not want you to walk that far to get to the bus.” She agreed, but she said it would take more than one family to get the bus line to change. I told my mother I would ask my teacher about it. We could do a study and maybe start a petition (请愿书).
My teacher liked the idea. He said we could do the survey. So our class surveyed all our parents. We collected our survey data and made a table. We found that 90% of all the parents would use the bus more if it was easier to get to. We also found that only 20% of the parents could get to it easily, just by walking five blocks. For all the others, it took between 6 and 12 blocks.
We made a map to show how the bus route (路线) could be changed to reach people in our community more easily. Then my teacher called the alderman (市议员) to see if we could meet to talk about our study.
The alderman was impressed. She said we had done a really good job of thinking out the problem and a solution. She promised she would talk with the head of the transportation system about it.
Now my mother can leave later, and she only has to walk four blocks to get to the bus. When she leaves in the morning, she always says, “Son, I’m so glad you got the bus route changed.”

Zion is among the most visited parks in the USA and is particularly crowded because many of its most popular sites sit in a narrow six-mile canyon (峡谷). Last year, about 4.3 million people visited it, up to 60 percent from a decade ago. So this year, park managers announced they were considering a first for any national park: requiring reservations (预定) for entry.
The National Park Service was created in 1916 to protect the country’s growing system of parks and monuments. Its aim is to conserve scenery and wildlife while also protecting visitor enjoyment for generations to come. For years, the lack of a reservation system for park entry associated with the spirit of adventure: Anyone could come, pretty much anytime.
But recently, both visitors and nature are suffering. Mr. Burns, who is on a team that is considering a reservation system, said some people showed up for a vacation they had planned for months, spent a day in the traffic jam and turned around. Mr. Burns said he favored a reservation policy. He recalled the days when he would jump in a car and pull up to parks across the West with no plans.
When he first came to the park in the 1980s, he wrote a letter home. “I’m living in a no-man’s-land,” he told his parents. He could hike for hours, even days, without seeing anyone, and he remembered the constantly changing light on the canyons, the brilliant green of the trees, the blue water of the Virgin River. Today, he said, when he wants to find solitude (清静), it is usually joined by the distant rumble of the shuttle bus.
“There is only one Zion National Park,” he said to those struggling to see a need for limiting access. “And it’s sacred (神圣的). Its beauty is sacred.”
9. What do we know about Zion from Paragraph 1
A. It sits in a narrow six-mile canyon.
B. It has required reservations for entry.
C. It’s the most visited park in the USA.
D. More and more people pay a visit to it.
10. The National Park Service aims to ______.
A. conserve scenery and wildlife
B. prevent visitor enjoyment forever
C. allow visitors to visit the parks at any time
D. protect the country’s system
11. What’s Mr. Burns’s attitude to the reservation policy
A. Cautious. B. Favorable.
C. Doubtful. D. Unconcerned.
12. What is the title for the text
A. A Popular Reservation Policy
B. The National Park Service
C. Zion Requiring Reservations for Entry
D. Zion National Park — A Safe Place
【答案】9. D 10. A 11. B 12. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了随着参观Zion的游客数量不断增加，对自然环境造成了极大压力，也不利于游客参观，因此，国家公园管理局宣布游客需要预约才能进入公园。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段关键句“Last year, about 4.3 million people visited it, up to 60 percent from a decade ago.(去年，大约有430万人参观了它，比十年前增加了60%。)”可知，去年参观Zion的人有430万人，比十年前增加了60%，由此可知，参观Zion的游客数量不断增加。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“The National Park Service was created in 1916 to protect the country’s growing system of parks and monuments. Its aim is to conserve scenery and wildlife while also protecting visitor enjoyment for generations to come.(国家公园管理局成立于1916年，旨在保护该国日益壮大的公园和纪念碑体系。其目的是保护风景和野生动物，同时保护游客世世代代享受风景。)”可知，国家公园管理局的目标是保护国家不断发展的公园和纪念碑体系、维持游客的乐趣和保护风景和野生动物。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段关键句“Mr. Burns said he favored a reservation policy.(伯恩斯先生说，他赞成预约政策。)”可知，伯恩斯先生赞成预约政策，由此可推断出，伯恩斯先生对预订政策的态度是支持的。故选B项。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。通读文章，结合第一段关键句“Last year, about 4.3 million people visited it, up to 60 percent from a decade ago. So this year, park managers announced they were considering a first for any national park: requiring reservations for entry.(去年，大约有430万人参观了它，比十年前增加了60%。因此，今年，公园管理者宣布，他们正在考虑为任何国家公园设立第一次规定：要求预约才能进入。)”可知，本文讲述了随着参观Zion的游客数量不断增加，对自然环境造成了极大压力，也不利于游客参观，因此，国家公园管理局宣布游客需要预约才能进入公园，“Zion Requiring Reservations for Entry”意为“Zion需要预约才能进入”，选项能够概括文章内容。故选C项。

27. sources
28. to develop

31. quickly
32. of 33. recommends
34. a 35. reading
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍如何选择自己应该阅读的书籍。
【26题详解】
考查比较级。句意：你可能不止一次地问过自己这个问题。根据“than once”可知，此处使用比较级，故填more。
【27题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：如果你不确定读什么书，你可以从不同的来源获得灵感，但培养自己的品味也很重要。source为可数名词，前有different修饰，则source应该使用复数形式，故填sources。
【28题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：如果你不确定读什么书，你可以从不同的来源获得灵感，但培养自己的品味也很重要。固定句型“It is+adj+to do sth”意为“做某事是……的”，it是形式主语，不定式是真正的主语，故填to develop。
29题详解】

31题详解】
考查副词。句意：尤其是教师，他们可以提供一些有趣的阅读材料的建议，这些材料可以在图书馆或书店迅速找到。使用副词作状语修饰谓语动词can be found，需要的词义为“迅速地”，故填quickly。
【32题详解】

【33题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：你不需要因为每个人都推荐那些书而去读。空处为从句谓语动词，根据“You do not have to read books”可知，从句使用一般现在时，everyone 为单数意义，谓语动词用单数，故填recommends。
【34题详解】
考查冠词。句意：花点时间浏览当地图书馆不同区域的藏书，你很可能会找到一本你喜欢读的书。book为可数名词，此处为泛指意义，它是以辅音音素开头的单词，因此前面使用不定冠词a，故填a。
【35题详解】
考查动名词。句意：随着时间的推移，你可能会发现自己能够更好地找到适合自己口味的书，并且更加享受阅读。enjoy后接动名词作宾语，故填reading。

【36题详解】
考查句子结构。分析句子成分可知，本句为并列句。主语为“we”，意为“我们”；谓语为“must protect”意为“必须保护”；宾语为“them”，意为上文的“many Chinese traditional festivals”，意为“它们”。故翻译为：我们必须保护它们。
【37题详解】

Our mother has to leave home every day before we go to school. She has to walk twelve blocks to take the bus to work. We think it’s terrible that there is no bus that comes closer to our street.
I said to my mother, “This is a public transportation system. It is our system. It should come closer to our home. I do not want you to walk that far to get to the bus.” She agreed, but she said it would take more than one family to get the bus line to change. I told my mother I would ask my teacher about it. We could do a study and maybe start a petition (请愿书).
My teacher liked the idea. He said we could do the survey. So our class surveyed all our parents. We collected our survey data and made a table. We found that 90% of all the parents would use the bus more if it was easier to get to. We also found that only 20% of the parents could get to it easily, just by walking five blocks. For all the others, it took between 6 and 12 blocks.
We made a map to show how the bus route (路线) could be changed to reach people in our community more easily. Then my teacher called the alderman (市议员) to see if we could meet to talk about our study.
The alderman was impressed. She said we had done a really good job of thinking out the problem and a solution. She promised she would talk with the head of the transportation system about it.
Now my mother can leave later, and she only has to walk four blocks to get to the bus. When she leaves in the morning, she always says, “Son, I’m so glad you got the bus route changed.”

Zion is among the most visited parks in the USA and is particularly crowded because many of its most popular sites sit in a narrow six-mile canyon (峡谷). Last year, about 4.3 million people visited it, up to 60 percent from a decade ago. So this year, park managers announced they were considering a first for any national park: requiring reservations (预定) for entry.
The National Park Service was created in 1916 to protect the country’s growing system of parks and monuments. Its aim is to conserve scenery and wildlife while also protecting visitor enjoyment for generations to come. For years, the lack of a reservation system for park entry associated with the spirit of adventure: Anyone could come, pretty much anytime.
But recently, both visitors and nature are suffering. Mr. Burns, who is on a team that is considering a reservation system, said some people showed up for a vacation they had planned for months, spent a day in the traffic jam and turned around. Mr. Burns said he favored a reservation policy. He recalled the days when he would jump in a car and pull up to parks across the West with no plans.
When he first came to the park in the 1980s, he wrote a letter home. “I’m living in a no-man’s-land,” he told his parents. He could hike for hours, even days, without seeing anyone, and he remembered the constantly changing light on the canyons, the brilliant green of the trees, the blue water of the Virgin River. Today, he said, when he wants to find solitude (清静), it is usually joined by the distant rumble of the shuttle bus.
“There is only one Zion National Park,” he said to those struggling to see a need for limiting access. “And it’s sacred (神圣的). Its beauty is sacred.”
9. What do we know about Zion from Paragraph 1
A. It sits in a narrow six-mile canyon.
B It has required reservations for entry.
C. It’s the most visited park in the USA.
D. More and more people pay a visit to it.
10. The National Park Service aims to ______.
A. conserve scenery and wildlife
B. prevent visitor enjoyment forever
C. allow visitors to visit the parks at any time
D. protect the country’s system
11. What’s Mr. Burns’s attitude to the reservation policy
A. Cautious. B. Favorable.
C. Doubtful. D. Unconcerned.
12. What is the title for the text
A. A Popular Reservation Policy
B. The National Park Service
C. Zion Requiring Reservations for Entry
D. Zion National Park — A Safe Place
