萨勒克国家公园——欧洲隐秘的自然瑰宝
太阳永不沉落的夏日
帐篷的帆布被狂风不停拍打,我在声响中醒来。即便阳光灿烂,你也无法分辨此刻是清晨还是夜晚。我身处北极圈以北,这里夏季太阳永不落下。看了眼手表,早上7点30分。我走出帐篷,来到山崖边缘。拉帕河的条条支流在下方山谷中铺展开来。我来到瑞典遥远北方的萨勒克国家公园,这里没有公路,也没有城镇。
冰雪山峦之地
萨勒克的群山曾经被广袤的冰层覆盖。大约9000年前,冰层消融,留下约100条冰川。不久之后,驯鹿来到这片土地。紧随驯鹿而来的是萨米人,他们把这片领地当作家园。这里地处偏远,抵达十分艰难,因此很少有人见过萨勒克的模样。1909年,萨勒克被设立为国家公园,以此保护这片土地的原始自然面貌。虽然萨米人被允许在公园内延续传统生活方式,但其他人不得在此居住,公园边界范围内禁止一切新的开发建设。在山谷的远端,能够看见一座古老的萨米小屋。不远处,几头驯鹿正在吃草。
人与自然和谐共处
数百年来,放牧驯鹿一直是萨米人的生存方式。他们取用驯鹿的肉作为食物,骨头制作工具,皮毛用来缝制衣服和帐篷。由于驯鹿总是不断迁徙,萨米人便收起帐篷,一路跟随着驯鹿。如今,大多数萨米人定居在萨勒克附近的村镇,过着和普通人一样的现代生活。但每到春天,仍有一小部分萨米人追随驯鹿,走进萨勒克的山谷,住在帐篷或是老旧小屋之中,传承自己的传统。我并不是萨米人,但在萨勒克,我也学着养成了一些他们的习惯。譬如今天早上,我的早餐就是火上烤热的薄饼、风干驯鹿肉,还有我在帐篷周边采摘到的酸甜浆果。
冒险之境
吃过早餐,我收拾背包再度出发。因为所有食物和补给都必须随身携带,我的背包大约重达30千克。如果今天和昨天相仿,当我翻越这片艰险的大地,去往山谷另一端的目的地时,又将是充满汗水与辛劳的一天。但我毫无怨言。置身如此壮美而原始的天地间,活着本身就是一种莫大的幸福。我独自一人,站在辽阔苍穹之下,呼吸着清新的空气,享受这场盛大的冒险。世间还有什么能比这更加美好呢?

第二部分:阅读理解
Protecting Wild Natural Lands
Wild national parks are not only scenic tourist destinations, but also key shelters for endangered wildlife and primitive ecosystems. Unlike urban scenic spots regulated by human rules, remote wild lands remain largely untouched, maintaining their original ecological balance.
For centuries, indigenous groups have lived in harmony with nature. Instead of transforming the land for profit, they have respected natural rules, followed animal migration rhythms, and preserved traditional lifestyles. Their long-term practice proves that human activity does not necessarily damage nature, as long as people set clear boundaries between development and protection.
However, booming tourism and commercial exploitation have brought severe threats to remote wild parks. Mass construction destroys vast natural areas, breaks animal migration routes, and pollutes clean water sources. Many wild species lose their territory and suitable living conditions, resulting in a sharp drop in their population. To prevent further damage, most countries have issued strict bans on arbitrary development and resource overuse within park boundaries.
Modern protection does not mean completely closing wild lands to humans. Reasonable exploration and cultural inheritance are allowed. Many environmental advocates argue that the best protection is not blind prohibition, but balanced coexistence. Tourists can appreciate natural beauty, learn traditional indigenous culture, and raise environmental awareness, while strict rules prohibit wasteful consumption and destructive behavior.
Only when human beings treat nature objectively, respect its boundaries, and abandon greedy exploitation, can primitive wild landscapes survive permanently and benefit future generations.
1. What is the core value of wild national parks?

A. They changed natural rules for better living

4. Which opinion do environmental advocates hold?
A. Wild lands should be completely closed to humans
B. Total prohibition is the best way of protection
C. Balance between exploration and protection matters
D. Tourism should be banned in all national parks
5. What is the best title for the text?
