本文是一篇应用文，是一篇旅游攻略，主要介绍了美国科罗拉多大峡谷的游览事项，包含了如何到达峡谷，游览的路线以及门票信息。

【1】细节理解题。根据“Grand Canyon Village: It can be reached by driving and is served by the Grand Canyon Railway.”大峡谷村：它可以通过驾车到达，并由大峡谷铁路服务。以及“Make your visit easier by parking your car at the Visitor Center and using the free buses to travel around the “South Rim”.”让你的游览更容易，停车在游客中心，并且使用免费公共汽车在“南缘”周围穿梭。可知游客可以通过乘坐公共汽车、火车和开车到达大峡谷，不能乘坐飞机到达。故选D。

【2】细节理解题。more popular更流行；more beautiful更美丽；more dangerous更危险；higher更高。根据“The “South Rim” is open all year long.” “南缘”全年开放。“During winter months, all roads are closed to visitors. Even in good weather, the “North Rim” is harder to get to.”在冬季，所有的道路都对游客关闭。即使在好天气下，“北缘”也很难到达。可知，南缘比较容易游览，所以南缘应该更流行。故选A。

【3】细节理解题。根据“Individual (个体) Pass: ＄20 For one individual when entering on foot, by bicycle, bus or the Grand Canyon Railway. Admission is free for individuals 15 years old and younger.” 可知骑自行车进入大峡谷每人是20美元，15岁或以下的孩子免费。故David和他的妻子以及12岁的孩子一共需要花费40美元。故选A。

【4】细节理解题。根据“During winter months, all roads are closed to visitors.” 在冬季，所有的道路都对游客关闭。可知冬季北缘不允许游客进入是正确的，A正确。根据“Valid (有效的) for 12 months from the date of purchase and for unlimited (无限的) visits to the park.”可知有效期为12个月的年票可以无限次的游览，故B项错误；根据“Desert View Drive: east of the village”可知沙漠观光车是通向东部，而不是西部。故C项错误。根据“Grand Canyon National Park is one of the most popular parks in the United States.”大峡谷国家公园是美国最受欢迎的公园之一，而不是最流行的一个，故D项错误。故选A。

【5】推理判断题。根据全文含义，本文是一篇旅游攻略，主要介绍美国科罗拉多大峡谷的游览事项，所以这篇文章应该出自旅行指南。in a dictionary在字典里；in a travel guide在旅游指南里；in a science book在科学书籍里；in a fashion magazine在一本时尚杂志里。故选B。
