　　A．This park is a vast natural museum，and it is recognized as the lowest point in the U．S．All the great divisions of geological（地质的）time，the eras and most of their subdivisions，are represented（描写）in the rocks of the mountains bordering the great valley．These rocks and the land forms tell a story of endless changes in the earth's crust（地壳）-vast depositions，contortions，tilting，alternate rising and lowering，faulting and intense heats and pressures that changed the very nature of some rocks．

　　B．This park protects a large deposit（存放）of fossil（化石）dinosaur bones-remains of the so-called“terrible lizards” that lived millions of years ago．The dinosaurs weren't really lizards，and most of them weren't even terrible．But some of the first dinosaur fossils ever found were huge bones and teeth，very lizard-like except for their size，and so the idea of monstrous lizards was born．Today，many ideas about dinosaurs are changing，and the fossils at this park continue to help us learn more about these fascinating animals．

　　C．With elevations ranging from 8，000 feet in the wet，grassy valleys to 14，259 feet at the weather-ravaged top of Long's Peak，a visitor to the park has opportunities for countless breathtaking experiences and adventures．A large variety of animals will delight wildlife-watchers of all ages．Wildflower-lovers are never disappointed in June and July when the meadows and hillsides are splashed with botanical color．359 miles of trail offer endless opportunities to hikers，backpackers and horseback riders．So far to find 60 peaks rising above 12，000 feet challenge intrepid hikers and climbers．

　　D．The world's largest concentration of natural stone arches is found in this park．Over 1500 of these“miracles of nature”grace the 73，000-acre area．And it is famous for the red arches of Entrada sandstone that occur there in great profusion．A 41-mile round-trip paved road in the park leads to the major sights， including Balanced Rock，Skyline Arch，and the Fiery Furnace．But there are also many other striking rock formations scattered over the park's 73，000 scenic acres．

　　E．Yellowstone is the oldest park in the U．S．park system and is its flagship．Visitors come to experience the park's restless geology；to see grizzlies，gray wolves，and herds of buffalo．Its turbulent（狂暴的）landscape-which remains among the most geologically active lands on the planet，with steam-spewing geysers（间歇温泉），gurgling fumaroles，and frequent earthquakes-was protected as the world's first national park in 1872．Yellowstone and the huge tracts of national-forest land that ring it comprise one of the world's last intact temperate ecosystems-all its major species of plants and animals are still present．

　　F．This park has a canyon 200 miles long and about a mile deep．Along the ride you follow the Colorado River which carved this massive canyon．At times the canyon is from 5 to 15 miles across．The Colorado River continues to shape and gouge its way through the canyon where about 90 species of mammals（哺乳动物）and some 290 species of birds live．River rafting along the Colorado River has different options for people．You can go on long trips with organizations or even take a smooth ride down the river with a picnic style lunch．

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

　　3．________

On September 22, 1986, Jay Brunkella, a police-officer in the Rogers Park district in Chicago, was shot during a drug arrest and died. Shortly af terwards, fellow officer Ken Knapcik, a 20-year veteran (老警官) of the force, returned home after work to find a note from his 15-year-old daughter on the dining table.

Dad-This poem came directly from my heart. I love you so much! It scares and amazes me that you go out every day and risk everything to provide us with all that we have. I wrote this to express how much I love you and how much lost I’d be without you-Laura. P.S.: Hey, let’s be careful out there.

Titled “The Ultimate Cop”, Laura’s poem was dedicated “To all the cops in the world who have daughters who love them with all their hearts. And especially to my dad.” It was about a police-officer’s daughter who sees on the night time news that her father has been shot. Part of poem: “Daddy, my Daddy, can you hear me cry? Oh, God, I need my Daddy, please don’t let him die.”

Ken Knapcik stood alone as he read the poem. “It took me several minutes,”he said.“I’d get through part of it and have to stop before I could go on. I was weeping. She had never told me she was scared.” He took the poem to work the next day and showed it to his fellow officers. “I’ve never seen so many grown men cry. Some couldn’t finish it.”

Knapcik keeps Laura’s poem in the pocket of his police jacket. He takes it with him every time he leaves the house for a new shift. “I don’t want to be out there without it.” he said, “I’ll probably carry it with me forever.”

1.Laura wrote the poem ______.

A.in memory of her father who was shot in the drug arrest

B.to show her great sorrow in losing her father

C.to show her respect to all the cops who lost their lives

D.to tell officer Ken Knapcik how much she loved him

2.All the officers cried because ______

A.Jay Brunkella was shot and died

B.they were greatly touched by the poem

C.the poem was so sad that they couldn’t hold back their tears

D.they thought of their dangerous life

3.Knapcik keeps Laura’s poem in his pocket ______.

A.to treasure her daughter’s love and to value his own life   B.to keep it from missing

C.because he can’t go out without it     D.to mourn over the death of officer Jay Brunkella

4.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A.Poem for a cop                              B.An offier’s death

C.Daughter’s love                             D.Love my job, love my daughter
In the following article, some sentences or paragraphs have been removed. For questions 1 to 5, choose the
most suitable one from the list AF to fit into each of the numbered gaps. There is ONE which does not fit in
any of the gaps.
     Most of the people who appear most often and most gloriously in the history books are great conquerors
and generals, whereas the people who really helped civilization forward are often never mentioned at all. We
do not know who first set a broken leg, or launched a seagoing boat, or calculated the length of the year?
but we know all about the killers and destroyers. People think a great deal of them, so much so that on all the
highest pillars in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general.
     1. It is just possible they are, but they are not the most civilized. Animals fight? so do savages? hence to
be good at fighting is to be good in the way in which an animal or a savage is good, but it is not to be civilized.
     2. People fight to settle quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized peoples ought to be able to find some
way of settling their disputes other than by seeing which side can kill off the greater number of the other side,
and then saying that that side which has killed most has won.
     3. That is what the story of mankind has on the whole been like. Even our own age has fought the two
greatest wars in history, in which millions of people were killed. And while today it is true that people do not
fight and kill each other in the streets, nations and countries have not learnt to do this yet, and still behave like
savages. But we must not expect too much. After all, the race of men has only just started. From the point of
view of evolution, human beings are very young children indeed, babies, in fact, of a few months old.
     4. These figures are difficult to grasp? so let us scale them down. Suppose that we reckon the whole past
of living creatures on the earth as one hundred years? then the whole past of man works out at about one
month, and during that month there have been civilizations for between seven and eight hours.
     5. Taking man' civilized past at about seven or eight hours, we may estimate his future at about one hundred
thousand years. Thus mankind is only at the beginning of its civilized life, and as I say, we must not expect
too much. The past of 8 man has been on the whole a pretty beastly business, a business of fighting and killing.
We must not expect even civilized peoples not to have done these things. All we can ask is that they will
sometimes have done something else.
     [A] Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and telling them how to do it most efficiently-
this, after all, is what conquerors and generals have done-is not being civilized.
     [B] And I think most people believe that the greatest countries are those that have beaten in battle the
greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as conquerors.
     [C] We have got to the stage of keeping the rules and behaving properly in daily life. However, every year
conflicts between countries and nations are still claiming thousands of lives.
     [D] And not only has won, but, because it has won, has been in the right. For that is what going to war
means? it means saying that might is right.
     [E] So you see there has been little time to learn in, but there will be oceans of time in which to learn better.
     [F] Scientists reckon that there has been life of some sort on the earth in the form of jellyfish and that kind
of creature for about twelve hundred million years? but there have been men for only one million years, and
there have been civilized men for about eight thousand years at the outside.

     My name is Lanier Lobdell, and I am a 55 - year - old woman with rheumatoid arthritis (风湿性
关节炎), or RA. RA is a disease that mostly affects the joints, but it can also affect internal organs. I
have had RA for almost21 years, and it definitely has changed my life, however, I try not to live my life
like I have a disease.
     For me, attitude is everything. I always try to find humor in the situation or try to ignore it, but that
does not always work. These days I can hardly walk due to my ankles, yet I still try and do the things I
always did. I love riding my motorcycle, and I try to take long trips every year.
      This year I got involved with some folks who make the biologic medicine I am on, to create the
Going the Extra Mile Tour to raise awareness about RA. The tour will take me across the country and
back on my motorcycle, making stops along the way to meet with local Arthritis Foundation (AF)
chapters and people who are affected by all forms of arthritis including RA.
     I want to encourage people not to let RA stop them from living their lives the best they can. There
are so many new medicines coming out these days, and they can really help. People have to be their
own supporters and get informed -- knowledge is power. Talk to your doctor and focus on what you
can do--not what you can't. Rest when your body is telling you to and push and keep going when you
can. Learn to listen to your body- that's how I deal with having RA.
1. Lanier Lobdell is a woman ______.
A. who got RA at the age of 32    
B. who suffers from a blood disease
