They are among the most famous parks in the United States. This week, our national parks journey brings us to the southeastern part of the state. Here, you will find narrow canyons, steep cliffs, and hidden river valleys. Welcome to Zion National Park! Zion sits within a desert landscape. The 260-kilometer-long Virgin River runs through it. It provides water for more than 1,000 kinds of plants to grow and 100 kinds of animals to live, including the desert tortoise, desert bighorn sheep, and mountain lions. River water has also carved out the area's spectacular canyons and gorges. One of them, called Zion Canyon, stretches more than 20 kilometers through the park. In some places, it is more than 600 meters deep. At its most narrow point, it is just 6 feet across. Zion is one of the 10 most visited parks in the country. Travelers from America and around the world come here to explore its canyons, climb its steep walls, and walk its dramatic trails. Zion's extraordinary beauty affected early Mormon settlers. Members of the religious group came to the area beginning in the 1850s. They thought it looked like heaven. They named the land after a place from the Bible - Zion. "Zion" means "sanctuary" or "refuge" in ancient Hebrew. Mormons were not, of course, the first people to explore the area. Experts say humans first arrived around 12,000 years ago. They hunted very large animals like mammoths, giant sloths and camels. Climate change and overhunting caused these animals to die out about 8,000 years ago. Humans changed their methods. They hunted smaller animals and gathered other food. Some 2,000 years ago, a culture centered on what we now call Zion began to form. Scientists know these people as the Virgin Anasazi. They settled in the area and grew crops. They used the water from the Virgin River and depended on the rich diversity of native plants and animals. Over time, many Native American groups called the area home, including the Southern Paiute. The Southern Paiutes called the area "Mukuntuweap." In their language, the name meant "straight canyon." The United States Congress moved to protect the area beginning in the early 1900s. In 1909, it became a national monument. It was called Mukuntuweap National Monument. President William Taft established the national monument. He described the land as a "labyrinth of remarkable canyons with highly ornate and beautifully colored walls, in which are plainly recorded the geological events of past ages." In 1918, the national monument became a national park. And in 1919, Congress changed its name to "Zion," the name used by the Mormons. Visiting Zion National Park Today, almost 3 million people visit Zion National Park each year. Driving is restricted in much of the park during busy months. Instead, visitors travel in small buses that take them to areas where they can walk on paths into the wild areas. Walking is the best way to explore Zion. The park offers visitors many different kinds of paths. Some are short and easy. One easy walk is almost two kilometers. It takes hikers to a clear pool of water and waterfalls. Other hikes take most people all day to complete. Some are not advisable for people who are afraid of high places. A hike called Angels Landing is considered one of the most exciting hikes in America. The trail leads to the top of a rock formation that stands more than 450 meters above the canyon floor. Toward the top of rock, the walking path becomes extremely narrow. On both sides are very steep cliffs. Hikers can hold onto a rope for increased safety. Most hikers say the views from Angels Landing make the difficult and dangerous experience worth it. Some visitors favor the lower parts of Zion National Park. One popular area is known as The Narrows. The Narrows is the narrowest part of Zion Canyon. The area has extremely tall canyon walls and unusual "hanging gardens." These green areas of wildflowers, ferns, and mosses grow out of the sandstone walls. If you want to explore The Narrows, you must be ready to get wet. Hiking in The Narrows means walking next to -- and even in -- the Virgin River. If water levels are high, walking in the river can be extremely difficult. Sometimes, hikers may be waist-high in water. Even near the canyon floor, hikes at Zion can be dangerous. The great amount of rock in the area does not absorb water. As a result, sudden floods, called "flash floods," are a serious threat. People can help prepare themselves as much as possible for the dangers of Zion National Park at the visitor's center. But the risks come with great rewards. As the famous American pilot Amelia Earhart once said, "Adventure is worthwhile in itself." 【译文欣赏】 锡安国家公园的风险与回报 犹他州拥有五个主要的国家公园。它们是美国最著名的公园之一。 本周，我们的国家公园之旅将带我们前往该州的东南部。在这里，你会发现狭窄的峡谷、陡峭的悬崖和隐藏的河谷。 欢迎来到锡安国家公园！ 锡安坐落在沙漠之中。全长260公里的维珍河贯穿其中。它为1000多种植物的生长和100种动物的生存提供了水源，包括沙漠龟、沙漠大角羊和山狮。 河水还雕刻出了该地区壮观的峡谷。 其中一个名为锡安峡谷，贯穿公园20多公里。在某些地方，它的深度超过600米。在最窄的地方，它只有6英尺宽。 锡安是该国访问量最大的10个公园之一。来自美国和世界各地的游客来到这里探索峡谷，攀登陡峭的城墙，走上引人注目的小径。 锡安非凡的美丽影响了早期的摩门教定居者。该宗教团体的成员从19世纪50年代开始来到该地区。他们认为这看起来像天堂。他们以圣经中的一个地方命名这片土地——锡安。 “锡安”在古希伯来语中意为“圣所”或“避难所”。 当然，摩门教徒并不是第一批探索该地区的人。专家表示，人类大约在12000年前首次抵达。他们猎杀猛犸象、巨型树懒和骆驼等大型动物。气候变化和过度狩猎导致这些动物在大约8000年前灭绝。人类改变了他们的方法。他们猎杀较小的动物，采集其他食物。 大约2000年前，一种以我们现在所说的锡安为中心的文化开始形成。科学家们称这些人为圣母阿纳萨齐人。他们在那个地区定居下来，种庄稼。他们使用维尔京河的水，并依靠当地丰富多样的动植物。 随着时间的推移，许多美洲原住民群体将该地区称为家园，包括南派尤特人。南派尤特人称该地区为“Mukuntuweap”。在他们的语言中，这个名字的意思是“直峡谷” 美国国会从20世纪初开始保护该地区。1909年，它成为国家纪念碑。它被称为Mukuntuweap国家纪念碑。 威廉·塔夫脱总统建立了国家纪念碑。他将这片土地描述为“一个由非凡峡谷组成的迷宫，墙壁装饰华丽，色彩艳丽，清楚地记录了过去时代的地质事件。” 1918年，国家纪念碑成为国家公园。1919年，国会将其名称改为“锡安”，这是摩门教徒使用的名称。 参观锡安国家公园 如今，每年有近300万人参观锡安国家公园。在繁忙的几个月里，公园的大部分地区都限制了驾驶。相反，游客乘坐小型巴士前往可以步行进入荒野的地区。 步行是探索锡安的最佳方式。公园为游客提供了许多不同类型的路径。有些简短而简单。轻松步行近两公里。它把徒步旅行者带到一个清澈的水池和瀑布。 其他徒步旅行需要大多数人一整天才能完成。有些不适合害怕高处的人。 被称为天使登陆的徒步旅行被认为是美国最令人兴奋的徒步旅行之一。这条小径通往峡谷底部上方450多米处的岩层顶部。 走向岩石顶部，步行道变得极其狭窄。两边都是非常陡峭的悬崖。徒步旅行者可以抓住绳子以增加安全性。大多数徒步旅行者说，天使登陆的景色使这段艰难而危险的经历变得值得。 一些游客喜欢锡安国家公园的下部。其中一个受欢迎的地区被称为狭窄地区。 窄峡谷是锡安峡谷最窄的部分。该地区有极高的峡谷壁和不同寻常的“空中花园”。这些野花、蕨类植物和苔藓的绿色区域生长在砂岩壁上。 如果你想探索海峡，你必须做好淋湿的准备。在The Narrows徒步旅行意味着走在维珍河旁边，甚至在维珍河中。 如果水位很高，在河里行走可能会非常困难。有时，徒步旅行者可能会在齐腰高的水中。 即使在峡谷底部附近，在锡安徒步旅行也可能很危险。该地区的大量岩石不吸水。因此，被称为“山洪暴发”的突发洪水是一种严重威胁。 人们可以在游客中心尽可能地帮助自己为锡安国家公园的危险做好准备。但风险伴随着巨大的回报。 正如著名的美国飞行员阿梅莉亚·埃尔哈特曾经说过的那样，“冒险本身就是值得的。” 【词汇积累】 ( 6 )原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 steep - adj. almost straight up and down 陡峭的 cliff - n. a high, steep surface of rock, earth, or ice 悬崖 landscape - n. an area of land that has a particular quality or appearance 景观 spectacular - adj. causing wonder and admiration : very impressive 壮观的 gorge - n. a deep, narrow area between hills or mountains 峡谷 dramatic - adj. attracting attention 引人注目的 heaven - n. the place where God lives and where good people go after they die according to some religions 天堂 diversity - n. the quality or state of having many different forms, types, ideas, etc 多样性 labyrinth - n. the quality or state of having many different forms, types, ideas, etc 迷宫 remarkable - adj. unusual or surprising : likely to be noticed 非凡的；引人注目的 ornate - adj. covered with fancy patterns and shapes 豪华的；富丽的 waist - n. the middle part of your body between the hips and chest or upper back that is usually narrower than the areas above and below it腰部 【知识拓展】 宰恩国家公园（Zion National Park），也译为锡安国家公园，是一个位于美国西南部犹他州史普林戴尔（Springdale, Utah）附近的美国国家公园。这个占地共229平方英里（593平方公里）的国家公园的首要景点是宰恩峡谷，长15英里（24公里），并且有半英里（800米）深，其红色与黄褐色的纳瓦霍砂岩（Navajo Sandstone）被维琴河（Virgin River）北面支流所分割。其他著名特色有白色大宝座、棋盘山壁群、科罗布拱门（Kolob Arch）、三圣父与维琴河隘口（Virgin River Narrows）。 【词汇延伸】 desert landscape沙漠景观；沙光掠影 more than超过，超出，超出……的比……更非常，极其比……更重要超出需要，超乎寻常 mountain lions美洲狮猞猁红猫短尾猫 综合实战演练 （一） （2024·全国·高考真题A篇）HABITAT RESTORATION TEAM Help restore and protect Marin's natural areas from the Marin Headlands to Bolinas Ridge.

Under a new policy, which takes effect Tuesday, the poles won’t make it past the bag check at any Disney World theme park. The sticks also won’t be allowed in Disney World water parks or Disney Quest, a gaming attraction at Downtown Disney. Selfie-sticks will also become forbidden at Disneyland Resort in California on June 30. The prohibition begins at Disney’s parks in Paris and Hong Kong on July 1st. Guests will be checked for the equipment during the routine bag check that happens near the parks’ entrances. They will have an option of turning in their selfie-sticks for pick-up later or to go back to their cars or hotel rooms to keep them. Visitors will be told of the policy in locations such as the parking lots and at the resort’s hotels. The prohibition will be added to the park rules post on Disney World’s website. The issue has been building at Disney. Previously, the sticks were prohibited from its rides, and “no selfie-sticks” signs were at select rides, such as Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Magic Kingdom. Cast members have given oral warnings to rule breakers. Selfie-stick users put smartphones and cameras on the ends of poles to extend their reach, frequently capturing theme-park moments through self-portraits. The tools have been banned in public places-including some museums and stadiums — worldwide for obstructing views or causing safety issues. Disney World already prohibits items such as skateboards, inline skates, wagon, folding chairs and glass containers, according to its official website, which also lists “other items that we determine may be harmful”. Universal Orlando has banned selfie-sticks and other loose items from certain thrill rides at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure theme parks, but it has not set parkwide bans. 10．Which of the following objects has already been banned in Disney World before the new policy takes effect? A．Smartphones. B．Folding chairs. C．Cameras. D．Containers. 11．According to the ban, if the guests are found carrying selfie-sticks during the routine bag check, they may . A．abandon them at the bag check B．get fined and pick them up later C．turn them in to the police D．put them in the trunk of their cars 12．The underlined word in the fifth paragraph probably means . A．changing B．broadening C．blocking D．narrowing （五） （23-24高二上·重庆黔江·阶段练习）Most city parks are places where you can escape from big, ugly structures of metal and stone. The Manhattan High Line is different. Raised 25 feet above the ground, this large metal structure once supported a rail line. The line opened in 1934 to bring trains directly into factories. It was hardly used after the 1960s, and much of it was torn down. However, one part remained in a region of Manhattan called Chelsea. Chelsea was becoming high-class as restaurants, art galleries and apartments were built, but the ugly railway structure remained as a dead weight. Everyone knew that at some time, it would have to be removed. But the High Line was not destroyed. In fact, now the old rail line serves as one of the most peaceful places in the city. It holds an incredible park, with beautiful gardens and great views of the city. The idea to turn the rail line into a park came from Joshua David and Robert Hammond. In 1999, they attended a meeting to decide how to deal with the High Line. David and Hammond were the only people at the meeting interested in saving the historical structure. Later on, when they asked railway officials to take them up to look at the High Line, they saw a mile and a hall of wild flowers growing in the middle of the city, and they realized that the High Line had potential to become a park. There was growing interest in improving city centers, and so the project quickly developed and money for construction was easily collected. The first part of the High Line opened in 2009 and immediately became popular with tourists and locals alike. Each part of the park has a different atmosphere. Some areas are like balconies ( 阳台) with wonderful city views. Where the rail line goes between buildings, trees are thickly planted. Other sections have wide lawns ( 草 坪 ) and walkways with wild flowers. Only the final section remains the way it has been for the last fifty years. 13．What does the underlined part “a dead weight” in paragraph 1 mean? A．Something with historical interest. B．Something with potential to be better. C．Something which is a danger to people. D．Something useless which slows progress. 14．Why did David and Hammond originally want to save the High Line? A．They wanted to reopen the train line. B．They thought it had historical value. C．They were interested in improving the city. D．They thought it would become a good park. 15．Which of the following statements about the High Line is correct? A．All parts of it have the same atmosphere. B．The first part gradually became popular. C．One part of it remains the old way. D．Trees were thinly planted in all areas. 16．What is the text mainly about? A．Closing a train line. B．An unlikely place for a park. C．Protection of cultural relics. D．Improving city transport. （六） （23-24高二上·四川雅安·阶段练习）How to Design a Small Garden Even if you don’t have a large area in your yard, you can still make a beautiful garden that maximizes the space you have by following tips. 17 . Look for a place in your yard where you can see your garden from a window or a spot in your yard so that you’re able to enjoy it. Make sure you can walk into your garden with ease to make it easier to take care of your plants. 18 . Plan the layout for your garden by drawing the outline on the paper. Start by sketching longer rectangles（矩形）for your garden beds so they’re to scale for the actual size you want them. 19 . Be sure to leave an 18-inch space between garden beds so you can easily walk between them and care for your plants. Arrange your design so there are focal points. Aim to have several aspects of your garden design unique so they stand out from the rest of your plants. 20 . Take into consideration where you want people to focus or have their attention drawn to when they look at your garden, and plan your design around those spots. Focal points help your garden feel more inviting and make it more visually pleasing. Put similar plants across from one another to create rhythm and symmetry(对称). Rather than put different plants in each of your garden beds, choose to use the same plant or ones that have similar textures or colors so they’re across from one another. 21 . A．And avoid any inconvenience caused by difficult access B．Try to position smaller plants in between larger ones C．Pick a place where you can easily get to your garden D．You may still be able to measure the length of the rectangles E．Then divide the rectangles into smaller sections for different plants F．This could be a statue or a fountain placed in the center or on either side G．That way, when you look at your garden, it will look inviting and make the area feel more balanced （七） 完形填空 （23-24高二上·全国·单元测试）Ciudad Perdida, Colombia’s “Lost City” is older than Machu Picchu (马丘比丘古城).

They are among the most famous parks in the United States. This week, our national parks journey brings us to the southeastern part of the state. Here, you will find narrow canyons, steep cliffs, and hidden river valleys. Welcome to Zion National Park! Zion sits within a desert landscape. The 260-kilometer-long Virgin River runs through it. It provides water for more than 1,000 kinds of plants to grow and 100 kinds of animals to live, including the desert tortoise, desert bighorn sheep, and mountain lions. River water has also carved out the area's spectacular canyons and gorges. One of them, called Zion Canyon, stretches more than 20 kilometers through the park. In some places, it is more than 600 meters deep. At its most narrow point, it is just 6 feet across. Zion is one of the 10 most visited parks in the country. Travelers from America and around the world come here to explore its canyons, climb its steep walls, and walk its dramatic trails. Zion's extraordinary beauty affected early Mormon settlers. Members of the religious group came to the area beginning in the 1850s. They thought it looked like heaven. They named the land after a place from the Bible - Zion. "Zion" means "sanctuary" or "refuge" in ancient Hebrew. Mormons were not, of course, the first people to explore the area. Experts say humans first arrived around 12,000 years ago. They hunted very large animals like mammoths, giant sloths and camels. Climate change and overhunting caused these animals to die out about 8,000 years ago. Humans changed their methods. They hunted smaller animals and gathered other food. Some 2,000 years ago, a culture centered on what we now call Zion began to form. Scientists know these people as the Virgin Anasazi. They settled in the area and grew crops. They used the water from the Virgin River and depended on the rich diversity of native plants and animals. Over time, many Native American groups called the area home, including the Southern Paiute. The Southern Paiutes called the area "Mukuntuweap." In their language, the name meant "straight canyon." The United States Congress moved to protect the area beginning in the early 1900s. In 1909, it became a national monument. It was called Mukuntuweap National Monument. President William Taft established the national monument. He described the land as a "labyrinth of remarkable canyons with highly ornate and beautifully colored walls, in which are plainly recorded the geological events of past ages." In 1918, the national monument became a national park. And in 1919, Congress changed its name to "Zion," the name used by the Mormons. Visiting Zion National Park Today, almost 3 million people visit Zion National Park each year. Driving is restricted in much of the park during busy months. Instead, visitors travel in small buses that take them to areas where they can walk on paths into the wild areas. Walking is the best way to explore Zion. The park offers visitors many different kinds of paths. Some are short and easy. One easy walk is almost two kilometers. It takes hikers to a clear pool of water and waterfalls. Other hikes take most people all day to complete. Some are not advisable for people who are afraid of high places. A hike called Angels Landing is considered one of the most exciting hikes in America. The trail leads to the top of a rock formation that stands more than 450 meters above the canyon floor. Toward the top of rock, the walking path becomes extremely narrow. On both sides are very steep cliffs. Hikers can hold onto a rope for increased safety. Most hikers say the views from Angels Landing make the difficult and dangerous experience worth it. Some visitors favor the lower parts of Zion National Park. One popular area is known as The Narrows. The Narrows is the narrowest part of Zion Canyon. The area has extremely tall canyon walls and unusual "hanging gardens." These green areas of wildflowers, ferns, and mosses grow out of the sandstone walls. If you want to explore The Narrows, you must be ready to get wet. Hiking in The Narrows means walking next to -- and even in -- the Virgin River. If water levels are high, walking in the river can be extremely difficult. Sometimes, hikers may be waist-high in water. Even near the canyon floor, hikes at Zion can be dangerous. The great amount of rock in the area does not absorb water. As a result, sudden floods, called "flash floods," are a serious threat. People can help prepare themselves as much as possible for the dangers of Zion National Park at the visitor's center. But the risks come with great rewards. As the famous American pilot Amelia Earhart once said, "Adventure is worthwhile in itself." 【译文欣赏】 锡安国家公园的风险与回报 犹他州拥有五个主要的国家公园。它们是美国最著名的公园之一。 本周，我们的国家公园之旅将带我们前往该州的东南部。在这里，你会发现狭窄的峡谷、陡峭的悬崖和隐藏的河谷。 欢迎来到锡安国家公园！ 锡安坐落在沙漠之中。全长260公里的维珍河贯穿其中。它为1000多种植物的生长和100种动物的生存提供了水源，包括沙漠龟、沙漠大角羊和山狮。 河水还雕刻出了该地区壮观的峡谷。 其中一个名为锡安峡谷，贯穿公园20多公里。在某些地方，它的深度超过600米。在最窄的地方，它只有6英尺宽。 锡安是该国访问量最大的10个公园之一。来自美国和世界各地的游客来到这里探索峡谷，攀登陡峭的城墙，走上引人注目的小径。 锡安非凡的美丽影响了早期的摩门教定居者。该宗教团体的成员从19世纪50年代开始来到该地区。他们认为这看起来像天堂。他们以圣经中的一个地方命名这片土地——锡安。 “锡安”在古希伯来语中意为“圣所”或“避难所”。 当然，摩门教徒并不是第一批探索该地区的人。专家表示，人类大约在12000年前首次抵达。他们猎杀猛犸象、巨型树懒和骆驼等大型动物。气候变化和过度狩猎导致这些动物在大约8000年前灭绝。人类改变了他们的方法。他们猎杀较小的动物，采集其他食物。 大约2000年前，一种以我们现在所说的锡安为中心的文化开始形成。科学家们称这些人为圣母阿纳萨齐人。他们在那个地区定居下来，种庄稼。他们使用维尔京河的水，并依靠当地丰富多样的动植物。 随着时间的推移，许多美洲原住民群体将该地区称为家园，包括南派尤特人。南派尤特人称该地区为“Mukuntuweap”。在他们的语言中，这个名字的意思是“直峡谷” 美国国会从20世纪初开始保护该地区。1909年，它成为国家纪念碑。它被称为Mukuntuweap国家纪念碑。 威廉·塔夫脱总统建立了国家纪念碑。他将这片土地描述为“一个由非凡峡谷组成的迷宫，墙壁装饰华丽，色彩艳丽，清楚地记录了过去时代的地质事件。” 1918年，国家纪念碑成为国家公园。1919年，国会将其名称改为“锡安”，这是摩门教徒使用的名称。 参观锡安国家公园 如今，每年有近300万人参观锡安国家公园。在繁忙的几个月里，公园的大部分地区都限制了驾驶。相反，游客乘坐小型巴士前往可以步行进入荒野的地区。 步行是探索锡安的最佳方式。公园为游客提供了许多不同类型的路径。有些简短而简单。轻松步行近两公里。它把徒步旅行者带到一个清澈的水池和瀑布。 其他徒步旅行需要大多数人一整天才能完成。有些不适合害怕高处的人。 被称为天使登陆的徒步旅行被认为是美国最令人兴奋的徒步旅行之一。这条小径通往峡谷底部上方450多米处的岩层顶部。 走向岩石顶部，步行道变得极其狭窄。两边都是非常陡峭的悬崖。徒步旅行者可以抓住绳子以增加安全性。大多数徒步旅行者说，天使登陆的景色使这段艰难而危险的经历变得值得。 一些游客喜欢锡安国家公园的下部。其中一个受欢迎的地区被称为狭窄地区。 窄峡谷是锡安峡谷最窄的部分。该地区有极高的峡谷壁和不同寻常的“空中花园”。这些野花、蕨类植物和苔藓的绿色区域生长在砂岩壁上。 如果你想探索海峡，你必须做好淋湿的准备。在The Narrows徒步旅行意味着走在维珍河旁边，甚至在维珍河中。 如果水位很高，在河里行走可能会非常困难。有时，徒步旅行者可能会在齐腰高的水中。 即使在峡谷底部附近，在锡安徒步旅行也可能很危险。该地区的大量岩石不吸水。因此，被称为“山洪暴发”的突发洪水是一种严重威胁。 人们可以在游客中心尽可能地帮助自己为锡安国家公园的危险做好准备。但风险伴随着巨大的回报。 正如著名的美国飞行员阿梅莉亚·埃尔哈特曾经说过的那样，“冒险本身就是值得的。” 【词汇积累】 ( 6 )原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 steep - adj. almost straight up and down 陡峭的 cliff - n. a high, steep surface of rock, earth, or ice 悬崖 landscape - n. an area of land that has a particular quality or appearance 景观 spectacular - adj. causing wonder and admiration : very impressive 壮观的 gorge - n. a deep, narrow area between hills or mountains 峡谷 dramatic - adj. attracting attention 引人注目的 heaven - n. the place where God lives and where good people go after they die according to some religions 天堂 diversity - n. the quality or state of having many different forms, types, ideas, etc 多样性 labyrinth - n. the quality or state of having many different forms, types, ideas, etc 迷宫 remarkable - adj. unusual or surprising : likely to be noticed 非凡的；引人注目的 ornate - adj. covered with fancy patterns and shapes 豪华的；富丽的 waist - n. the middle part of your body between the hips and chest or upper back that is usually narrower than the areas above and below it腰部 【知识拓展】 宰恩国家公园（Zion National Park），也译为锡安国家公园，是一个位于美国西南部犹他州史普林戴尔（Springdale, Utah）附近的美国国家公园。这个占地共229平方英里（593平方公里）的国家公园的首要景点是宰恩峡谷，长15英里（24公里），并且有半英里（800米）深，其红色与黄褐色的纳瓦霍砂岩（Navajo Sandstone）被维琴河（Virgin River）北面支流所分割。其他著名特色有白色大宝座、棋盘山壁群、科罗布拱门（Kolob Arch）、三圣父与维琴河隘口（Virgin River Narrows）。 【词汇延伸】 desert landscape沙漠景观；沙光掠影 more than超过，超出，超出……的比……更非常，极其比……更重要超出需要，超乎寻常 mountain lions美洲狮猞猁红猫短尾猫 综合实战演练 （一） （2024·全国·高考真题A篇）HABITAT RESTORATION TEAM Help restore and protect Marin's natural areas from the Marin Headlands to Bolinas Ridge.

Under a new policy, which takes effect Tuesday, the poles won’t make it past the bag check at any Disney World theme park. The sticks also won’t be allowed in Disney World water parks or Disney Quest, a gaming attraction at Downtown Disney. Selfie-sticks will also become forbidden at Disneyland Resort in California on June 30. The prohibition begins at Disney’s parks in Paris and Hong Kong on July 1st. Guests will be checked for the equipment during the routine bag check that happens near the parks’ entrances. They will have an option of turning in their selfie-sticks for pick-up later or to go back to their cars or hotel rooms to keep them. Visitors will be told of the policy in locations such as the parking lots and at the resort’s hotels. The prohibition will be added to the park rules post on Disney World’s website. The issue has been building at Disney. Previously, the sticks were prohibited from its rides, and “no selfie-sticks” signs were at select rides, such as Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Magic Kingdom. Cast members have given oral warnings to rule breakers. Selfie-stick users put smartphones and cameras on the ends of poles to extend their reach, frequently capturing theme-park moments through self-portraits. The tools have been banned in public places-including some museums and stadiums — worldwide for obstructing views or causing safety issues. Disney World already prohibits items such as skateboards, inline skates, wagon, folding chairs and glass containers, according to its official website, which also lists “other items that we determine may be harmful”. Universal Orlando has banned selfie-sticks and other loose items from certain thrill rides at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure theme parks, but it has not set parkwide bans. 10．Which of the following objects has already been banned in Disney World before the new policy takes effect? A．Smartphones. B．Folding chairs. C．Cameras. D．Containers. 11．According to the ban, if the guests are found carrying selfie-sticks during the routine bag check, they may . A．abandon them at the bag check B．get fined and pick them up later C．turn them in to the police D．put them in the trunk of their cars 12．The underlined word in the fifth paragraph probably means . A．changing B．broadening C．blocking D．narrowing 【答案】10．B 11．D 12．C 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。这篇短文主要报道了迪士尼公司要求各大主题乐园禁用自拍杆的新闻。 10．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Disney World already prohibits items such as skateboards, inline skates, wagon, folding chairs and glass containers”（迪士尼乐园已经禁止了滑板、直排轮溜冰鞋、马车、折叠椅和玻璃容器等物品）可知，在新政策生效前，折叠椅已被禁止进入迪士尼主题公园。故选B。 11．推理判断题。根据第三段第二句“They will have an option of turning in their selfie-sticks for pick-up later or to go back to their cars or hotel rooms to keep them.”（游客可以选择交出自拍杆，稍后再取，或者放回车里或者是房间里保存）所以根据这项禁令，可推知，如果客人被发现在例行的行李检查中携带自拍杆，可能会把它们放在汽车后备箱里。故选D。 12．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“The tools have been banned in public places — including some museums and stadiums (这些工具已被禁止在公共场所使用，包括一些博物馆和体育场)”以及下文“views or causing safety issues (视野或引起安全问题)”可知，这些工具已经在世界范围内的公共场所被禁止使用，原因是它会造成安全问题或者阻碍视线。所以通过上下文语境可以判断出，与第划线的词最接近的是C项blocking“阻碍”。故选C。 （五） （23-24高二上·重庆黔江·阶段练习）Most city parks are places where you can escape from big, ugly structures of metal and stone. The Manhattan High Line is different. Raised 25 feet above the ground, this large metal structure once supported a rail line. The line opened in 1934 to bring trains directly into factories. It was hardly used after the 1960s, and much of it was torn down. However, one part remained in a region of Manhattan called Chelsea. Chelsea was becoming high-class as restaurants, art galleries and apartments were built, but the ugly railway structure remained as a dead weight. Everyone knew that at some time, it would have to be removed. But the High Line was not destroyed. In fact, now the old rail line serves as one of the most peaceful places in the city. It holds an incredible park, with beautiful gardens and great views of the city. The idea to turn the rail line into a park came from Joshua David and Robert Hammond. In 1999, they attended a meeting to decide how to deal with the High Line. David and Hammond were the only people at the meeting interested in saving the historical structure. Later on, when they asked railway officials to take them up to look at the High Line, they saw a mile and a hall of wild flowers growing in the middle of the city, and they realized that the High Line had potential to become a park. There was growing interest in improving city centers, and so the project quickly developed and money for construction was easily collected. The first part of the High Line opened in 2009 and immediately became popular with tourists and locals alike. Each part of the park has a different atmosphere. Some areas are like balconies ( 阳台) with wonderful city views. Where the rail line goes between buildings, trees are thickly planted. Other sections have wide lawns ( 草 坪 ) and walkways with wild flowers. Only the final section remains the way it has been for the last fifty years. 13．What does the underlined part “a dead weight” in paragraph 1 mean? A．Something with historical interest. B．Something with potential to be better. C．Something which is a danger to people. D．Something useless which slows progress. 14．Why did David and Hammond originally want to save the High Line? A．They wanted to reopen the train line. B．They thought it had historical value. C．They were interested in improving the city. D．They thought it would become a good park. 15．Which of the following statements about the High Line is correct? A．All parts of it have the same atmosphere. B．The first part gradually became popular. C．One part of it remains the old way. D．Trees were thinly planted in all areas. 16．What is the text mainly about? A．Closing a train line. B．An unlikely place for a park. C．Protection of cultural relics. D．Improving city transport. 【答案】13．D 14．B 15．C 16．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要向读者介绍曼哈顿铁路公园——由废弃的曼哈顿铁路干线转变成的一个公园。 13．词句猜测题。根据第一段“However, one part remained in a region of Manhattan called Chelsea.(然而，有一部分仍然留在曼哈顿一个叫切尔西的地区)”，划线单词的前半句话“Chelsea was becoming high-class as restaurants, art galleries and apartments were built, (随着餐馆、美术馆和公寓的建成，切尔西正变得高档起来)”以及第一段最后一句话“Everyone knew that at some time, it would have to be removed.(每个人都知道，在某个时候，它将不得不被移除)”可知，被保留下来的区域被叫做Chelsea，随着饭店、画廊和公寓被建，这里变成了高级场所。但是丑陋的铁路结构仍然要被移除，说明丑陋的铁路已经没有用了，而且阻碍了这里的进步。所以划线短语的意思为“无用的减慢进步的东西”。故选D。 14．细节理解题。根据第二段“David and Hammond were the only people at the meeting interested in saving the historical structure. (David和Hammond是会议上唯一对拯救历史建筑感兴趣的人)”可知，David和Hammond赞同保留下这条铁路就是因为他们对挽救历史结构感兴趣，觉得它们有历史的研究价值。故选B。 15．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Only the final section remains the way it has been for the last fifty years.(只有最后一部分保持了过去五十年来的样子)”可知，High Line还有一部分保留了以前的样子。故选C。 16．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Most city parks are places where you can escape from big, ugly structures of metal and stone. The Manhattan High Line is different.(在大多数城市公园里，你可以逃离巨大、丑陋的金属和石头建筑。曼哈顿铁路公园则不同)”及下文介绍可知，这篇文章主要是关于一个不太可能成为公园的地方——曼哈顿铁路公园。故选B。 （六） （23-24高二上·四川雅安·阶段练习）How to Design a Small Garden Even if you don’t have a large area in your yard, you can still make a beautiful garden that maximizes the space you have by following tips. 17 .
