With its snow-covered mountains and a variety of wildlife,Yellowstone National Park is one of the scenic treasures of the United States.Located primarily in Wyoming,the park hosts millions of visitors every year.If you plan to travel within the park,keep in mind the advice from the National Park Service.

Seasonal Travel

Travel varies vastly from season to season.Roads are generally open in the summer except for cases of rock or mud slides,wild fires,accidents or road construction.Early snows in the fall can cause some roads to close temporarily.In the winter almost all roads are closed to motor vehicles,but snowmobiles and other snow vehicles with tracks are allowed.Roads begin to open in the spring by the latter part of April but may close if snowfall continues.

Driving Time

Grand Loop Road is the main road through Yellowstone National Park,and it passes by most of the major attractions.These include Old Faithful,Yellowstone Lake and the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone.The maximum speed limit on the Grand Loop is 45 miles per hour,but the speed limit drops during some of the winding and twisty sections of this narrow road.Allow yourself at least two days to fully travel the loop due to the size of the park and occasionally heavy traffic.

Safety Awareness

Buffaloes often block the roads in the park as they migrate through the fields.If a herd is traveling across the road you are on,you can either wait for them to pass or find an alternative route.If you get out of your vehicle,you should stay at least 25 yards from any buffalo (and 100 yards or more away from bears and wolves).Buffaloes are particularly unpredictable and charge people at speeds up to 30 mph.

You can take your bicycle on any public roads and routes designed for bikes,but bicycles are not allowed on the park roads which are narrow with few shoulders.Elevations range from 5,300 to 8,860 feet.The National Park Service recommends that cyclists wear helmets and noticeable clothing.

【语篇解读】本文介绍了美国黄石国家公园服务中心为参观者提供的几条建议。

1.What do we know about traveling in the Yellowstone Park?

A.Roads will stay open in spite of emergency.

B.Traffic jam is actually a rare thing.

D.Motor vehicles are allowed in the winter.

解析细节理解题。根据Seasonal Travel 部分中的第二句可知,发生岩崩或泥石流、森林火灾、事故或道路建设时,道路不开放。故A项(尽管有紧急情况,道路也会开放)是错误的。根据Driving Time部分中的第三句可知,主路限速45英里/小时,在窄路的弯道处限速更低,故C项错误。根据Seasonal Travel部分中的第四句可知,冬天几乎所有道路都不对摩托车开放,故D项错误。根据Driving Time部分最后一句中的“occasionally heavy traffic”可知,黄石公园很少有堵车情况。

2.What safety advice does the National Park Service offer?

A.Under no circumstances could you get out of the car.

B.Keep going forward when coming across buffaloes.

C.Do wear easy-to-see clothes while bicycling.

D.Bicycling is forbidden on the public roads.

难度:★★★☆

The Arctic Circle—the habitat of polar bears and decreasing sea ice at the top of the world—hit 32 degrees Celsius last week.

This was the temperature in Banak,Norway on July 30,though some Norwegian areas even reached a couple degrees warmer,according to the European Severe Weather Database.Banak sits atop northern Europe,over 350 miles above the bottom edge of the Arctic Circle.

The Northern Hemisphere and Europe itself have been repeatedly scorched by both record and near-record temperatures this summer as a consequence of overall rising global temperatures.

In the past 40 years,Earth’s climate has experienced an accelerated warming trend,which adds an extra level of background warming to hot spells—making heatwaves more extreme,climate scientists have said.

A photo of what appears to be Scandinavian folks taking a dip in a river while reindeer—the cold-adapted herbivores(食草动物)—cooled off in the water beside them is perhaps the best example of just how hot it is in parts of the Arctic Circle right now.

The“warm season” in Banak is short,lasting around three months,but the very warmest day of the year,around July 23,is usually around 62 degrees Fahrenheit(华氏度)—about 30 degrees cooler than temperatures there now.Overall,temperatures in northern Europe are between 14 to 21 degrees Fahrenheit,-10 to -6 degrees Celsius above average.

All-time temperature records were set in both Norway and Finland on July 30,including 86 degrees Fahrenheit,30 degrees Celsius,in Cape Verde,near Banak,though extreme or near-record temperatures blanketed the region.

Persistent heat and dryness this summer have transformed normally green European countries into brown and yellow lands,and the continent’s extreme heat is expected to persist.

Andrew Derocher,a professor at the University of Alberta who studies polar bears,said climate change is shrinking the ice bears usually hunt on,making them faced with the danger of extinction.

【语篇解读】由于全球变暖的速度不断加快,作为北极熊栖息地的北极圈现在也面临着温度升高的状况。这样的环境变化对于北极熊的生存有很大威胁。文章号召人们保护环境,保护我们的家园。

4.Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “scorched” in Paragraph 3?

A.Burned. B.Achieved.

C.Scored. D.Reached.

答案A

解析词义猜测题。根据第三段可知,今年夏天,由于全球气温总体上升,北半球和欧洲自身不断受到创纪录和接近纪录气温的炙烤。因此,画线词的意思是“烧伤;烧焦”。

5.What does the photo show according to the author?

A.Scandinavian folks like to swim in a river.

B.Reindeer have adapted to the cold climate.

C.The ice there has totally been melted into water.

D.The temperature of the Arctic Circle now is high.

答案D

解析细节理解题。根据第五段可知,喜冷的食草动物在水里凉快,证明了北极圈开始变热。因此,这张照片表明现在北极圈的温度很高。

6.What can we learn from Professor Derocher’s words?

A.Maybe bears will die out in the near future.

B.Climate change is threatening polar bears.

C.He is worried about the shrinking of the sea ice.

D.He advises people to do something to improve the condition.

答案B

解析推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,气候变暖使得北极熊赖以生存的冰面减少,致使北极熊面临灭绝的危险。因此,从德罗彻教授的话中可以得知,气候变化正威胁着北极熊(的生命安全)。

7.Where may you find this article?

A.In a fashion magazine.

B.In a news report.

C.In a geography textbook.

D.In a travel handbook.

答案B

解析文章出处题。根据第一段可知,这篇文章是报道上周北极圈温度达到32摄氏度的新闻。因此,本文不可能出现在时尚杂志、地理教科书或旅游手册中,它最有可能出现在新闻报道中。
