National parks are large areas of public land. They give a safe home for local plants and animals. They help keep the air and water clean. They also give us the best trips. Today,there are nearly 7,000 national parks around the world. Forbes has listed 12 of the most beautiful ones in the world that will surprise you with their amazing landscape,geographic wonders and colorful plants and animals.
The Grand Canyon (大峽谷) National Park of the US is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. It is best known for its size and depth. It is 446 kilometers long,up to 29 kilometers wide,and 1. 6 kilometers deep. The immensity of the canyon makes people think big. Every year,about 5 million people visit here. Taking a tour in the South Rim offers visitors the park's full views,while the North Rim shows beautiful wild flowers.
If you love animals,you’ll like the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. The “Big Five” live here. They are the lion,African elephant,African leopard,black rhinocero and African buffalo. The name “ Big Five” came from the five animals that were the hardest to catch. Now they are what people most want to see in the wild. If you visit the park,you should never miss the migration (遷徙) of over 1. 5 million wildebeests (角馬) and 250,000 zebras every year. This is the most famous site of the park.

文章主要介紹了國家公園的作用以及世界上兩個著名 的國家公園——美國的大峽谷國家公園和坦桑尼亞的塞倫 蓋蒂國家公園。
1. C 細節(jié)理解題。由第一段的“Forbes has listed 12 of the most beautiful ones in the world.可知，福布斯列出 的是世界上最美麗的12個國家公園，故C項描述 錯誤。
2. A詞義猜測題。畫線詞前面提到了 “ It is 446 kilometers long,up to 29 kilometers wide,and 1. 6 kilometers deep. ”由此可知，美國大峽谷很大，故可猜測immensity
意為“巨大”。
3. C細節(jié)理解題。通讀最后一段可知，文章中提到了七種動物，分別是 the lion,African elephant,African leopard,black rhinocero,African buffalo,wildebeests, zebras 七種。
4. D主旨大意題。文章主要介紹的是兩個著名的國家公園以及這些公園里的野生動植物，由此可知D項“走進神 奇的野外生活”為最佳標題。
5. B推理判斷題。文章開頭介紹了最美麗的國家公園有12個，結(jié)尾介紹了坦桑尼亞的國家公園，由此可判斷文章 接下來可能要繼續(xù)介紹其他的國家公園，故選B項。

Whether you use your bike for transportation or exercise,vou'll enjoy these fun facts on this vehicle.
In 1817,Karl von Drais,a German baron (大老板) ，invented a horseless carriage that would help him get around faster. The two-wheeled machine could move by pushing your feet against the ground. The machine led to the creation of the modern-day bicycle.
Fred A. Birchmore,25, circled the globe by bicycle in 1935. The entire trip,through Europe,Asia,and the United States,covered forty thousand miles. He pedaled (騎車) about 25,000 miles. The rest was traveled by boat.
There are over a half billion bicycles in China. Bikes were first brought to China in the late 1800s. About 100 million bicycles are made worldwide each year. Over the past 30 years,bicycle delivery (投遞) services have developed into an important industry,especially in cities,where the couriers (服務(wù)員) are well known for their high speed and riding skills.
Americans use their bicycles for less than one percent of all urban trips. Europeans bike in cities a lot more often—in Italy 5 percent of all trips are on bicycle,30 percent in the Netherlands,and seven out of eight Dutch people over age 15 have a bike.
The Tour de France (環(huán)法自行車賽) is one of the most famous bicycle races in the world. Established in 1903,it is considered to be the biggest test of endurance out of all sports.

I could never understand what the attraction (吸引) of the house was,even for my parents,who enjoyed nothing better than to sit in silence with a good book. The woman in the house,my father's distant cousin,was a terrible cook and her food was inedible.

In today's world of modem science and medicine,a more traditional treatment is once again becoming popular—animal friendship.
It is now well-known that people with problems such as heart disease or cancer live longer and get better more quickly if they have pets. Keeping pets lowers blood pressure and makes people less worried. Animals are increasingly important in treating older people who have memory loss and other brain problems. These people often feel nervous and upset. Activities with animals help them improve their physical condition and also give them joy,entertainment and loving friendship.
Here is a case that shows the benefits of animals. John was a six-year-old mute. He had no physical problems. He just refused to talk. His older cousin,Ned,had a parrot called Sally,and John used to visit it. When he arrived,Net used to say ,“ Hi,John! ” We all know parrots copy what they hear. After a few visits,Sally began saying “ Hi,John! ” when John came into the room. Then,one day,John turned to the parrot and replied “ Hi,Sally!” Staying with the parrot encouraged John to begin talking.
Another use of animal helpers is in schools. In some cases,animals are used to help children with physical or personal problems. In other cases,they are used to teach children to get on and share with others,and even to teach them about animals.
If you want to know more about animal helper programmes,you can get in touch with organizations like Riding for the Disabled or do a search under “animal therapy” on the Internet. You don't have to be an animal trainer or a doctor to join in.

In the Charles E. Johnson Elementary School in New York,there is a special radio. It gives people warnings (警報) about bad weather.

Minutes later,the storm came. However,because of the warning of the radio and the quick work of the principal,no one was hurt.
“The radio really did work very well.(我們對它的工作感到很高興) ，”William Tomic said. “The parents were as well.”
The US government hopes there will be more such success stories. It plans to give this kind of radios to all 97,000 public schools in the country.
Every year,more than 10,000 big thunderstorms,2,500 floods,1. 000 tornadoes (龍卷風) and some hurricanes (颶風) take place in the US,so the warning radios are very useful. They not only give people warnings about bad weather,but also give warnings about other dangerous things.
