Ⅰ.阅读理解

As the first national park in the world，Yellowstone National Park was established in 1872.Since then its natural wonders have attracted explorers and tourists.Yellowstone is best known for its famous geyser(间歇泉)，Old Faithful.The park has over 500 geysers，numerous hot springs，lakes，waterfalls and even its own Grand Canyon(大峡谷)．
Yellowstone National Park covers 3，648 square miles in Wyoming，Montana and Idaho.It is the largest national park in the continental U．S.and is the country’s largest wildlife preserve.
A part of the park containing Yellowstone Lake is centered over the Yellowstone Caldera，the largest super volcano in North America.The magma(岩浆) layer under the caldera feeds the geysers and hot springs in Yellowstone National Park.The park is surrounded by the Rocky Mountains，which made a visit to the park difficult before the age of modern transportation.
The Old Faithful is the most well­known wonder of Yellowstone’s natural attractions.Old Faithful is a cone(圆锥形) geyser that shoots from 3，000 to over 8，000 gallons of boiling water over 100 feet in the air.Old Faithful is popular with park visitors，who gather in anticipation of the eruptions that occur about 90 minutes apart.
In addition to its geysers and hot springs，Yellowstone has a number of lakes and waterfalls that draw park visitors.Yellowstone Lake，the largest freshwater lake
in the United States above 7，000 feet，is home to a large number of wild fishes in North America.The lake is too cold for swimming but is a favorite with the fishing and boating enthusiasts.
The Grand Canyon of Yellowstone National Park is 1，000 feet deep and 2，500 feet wide at its widest point.The canyon is made up of red and orange volcanic rocks.Numerous trails surround the Grand Canyon area，enabling visitors to get a close look at the canyon walls and waterfalls.

，based on coverage of theme park safety，are some tips to help you and your family stay safe on your next visit.
If you are visiting with a child，take a moment to explain the ride to them，and tell them how they should behave.They are depending upon you to keep them safe.Set a good example for them by following the rules of the park，and make sure that they know you expect them to follow those rules，too.
Tell them to stay seated，to hold the grab bar or put their hands in the laps，and not to stick their knees and feet outside a ride vehicle.Make them look to you for the okay to get on or off a ride，too.
And never put a crying child on a ride.If your child starts to cry，，gently exit the queue and find something more relaxing to do.
Young kids can’t keep an adult’s pace in a theme park.Let them take plenty of breaks.
“Kids get tired，” said TPI reader Matt Johnson，a father of four.“Tired kids make parents even more tired.And tired kids and parents may get hurt—physically and emotionally.” He advises that parents plan a mid­day break，perhaps a swim back at the hotel，to avoid mid­day heat and crowds.“You will see cranky families having a miserable time while you are refreshed and having a great evening.”

A map is our only guide when we lose our way in an entirely different area.It helps us find the easiest way to our destination(目的地)．
1 A map can be topographic(地形) maps，road maps，etc.Topographical maps are about the topography of a place，while road maps help show the possible roads between different stations.A road map also informs the readers about how far the two stations are away from.
2 A brief knowledge related to maps is necessary for every traveler.
3 Before looking for a place on a map，make sure that you choose the right map.For example，if you’re using your car for traveling，you should consult a road map，but if you’re interested in checking out different tourist attractions，you can refer to a tourist map.
4 For this you can check out for landmarks(界标) that are listed on the map.The landmark could be anything，right from a river to a building.
Now the next thing to do is find out your destination. 5 But if you have many places to visit，then you have to find out a way that you can visit all the destinations in shortest possible manner.You can start by going to the nearest location first and further after that.And in this way you won’t lose your way!
A．Maps play an important role in our daily life.
B．There are different types of maps available.
C．Luckily，reading a map isn’t as difficult as it looks.
D．Have a right map with you for your trip according to your needs.

语篇解读本文主要介绍了地图的重要性及使用地图的方法。

1．答案 B
解析空后句子说到一张地图可以是地形地图，也可以是公路地图等等，由此判断此处介绍地图的种类，故选B项。

2．答案 E
解析公路地图可以提供两地之间的距离等信息，因此司机或旅行者用它比较多，由此逻辑可判断选E项。

3．答案 D
解析空后说到不同的旅行要选择不同的地图。

这与选项D(根据你的所需，旅行时要带上合适的地图)的意思一致，由此逻辑可判断选D项。

4．答案 F
解析由语境可知，如果你有兴趣查看不同的旅游景点，你可以参考地图，以及下文“Now the next thing to do is find out your destination.”可知，空处指：利用地图作向导，你首先要确定自己当前的位置。

由此逻辑可判断选F项。

5．答案G
解析G项指出，如果你只想参观一个地方，你能很容易地标出一条单一路线。

空后指出，但是如果你有多地要参观，你就要找到一条捷径。

空处与空后句意转折、衔接自然。

故选G 项。
