Widely known as the world's first national park，Yellowstone National Park was built on March 1，1872.Covering 3，472 square miles，Yellowstone runs through Wyoming and into Montana and Idaho，bringing with it deep canyons，rivers，forests，hot springs，and so on.The wonder of the world attracts millions of visitors each year because of its fantastic facts.
The park has a lake named Yellowstone Lake，which is situated at 7，733 feet above sea level，making it the largest high-elevation lake in all of North America.The lake is about 20 miles long and 14 miles wide，with about 141 miles of shoreline.Each winter，Yellowstone Lake is completely covered with two-foot-thick ice.
Aside from its unique lake，there are also 290 waterfalls found throughout the park，including the famous Yellowstone River Upper and Lower Falls，which end up in an area known as the "Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River".Visitors can view the falls from several different hiking trails （遠(yuǎn)足路徑） and walkways.
With over 300 campsites and more than 900 miles of hiking trails inside the park—most of which are managed as wilderness areas—Yellowstone is the perfect destination for the most adventurous kind of outdoor enthusiast.It isn't all difficult wilderness hiking，however，since the park also offers plenty of choices for shorter-day hikes on well-managed trails.There are even paved hikes that are wheelchair-accessible.

1．Seeing a volcano erupt is a wonderful experience，and you can really feel the heat by climbing to the summit（山頂） of Pacaya for a close-up view.There are guided tours every day up this highly active volcano from Antigua，giving travelers a chance to see Mother Nature at her most powerful.
Pacaya is an easy drive from Antigua，a beautiful city with many colorful houses along its old streets that are turned into art-works during its Holy Week Festival.No matter when you come to Antigua，you won't miss the Pacaya-tour companies.
But climbing Pacaya is no easy job，it is 2，560 metres high，and reaching the summit takes two to three hours of seemingly one step forward and two-step back movements.As you climb，you hear the dull sounds of eruptions high above.Steaming，hot remains from recent eruptions begin to line the path as you near the active summit：the McKenney Cone（火山錐）.Just as though you are going to walk over to the edge of the cone，the road turns to the left and up to the relative safety of the old，inactive summit.
Many tours are timed so that you arrive at the cone of the volcano in plenty of time for sunset and the full contrast between the erupting red lava and the darkening sky.On a good day the view from the summit is extremely exciting.The active mouth boils，sending red lava over its sides，and once in a while shoots hot streams up to 100 metres into the air.There is a strong bad smell in the air even if you take care to be upwind of the cone.As evening turns deeper into the night，the burning lava quietly falls down the side of the volcano.For you，too ，it is time to get down.
（1）What is the main purpose of the passage？
A．To attract tourists to Pacaya.
B．To describe the beauty of Pacaya.

A．where people can enjoy cultural festival
B．where the daring Pacaya tour starts

D．that is famous for its tour companies
（3）Climbing to the McKenney Cone，people will.
A．walk directly to the active summit
B．hear the continuous loud noise from above
C．make greater efforts than to other summits
D．see a path lined with remains of earlier eruptions
（4）Many tours are timed for people to.
A．get down the mountain in time when night falls
B．a(chǎn)void the smell from the upwind direction of the cone
C．enjoy the fantastic eruption against the darkening sky
D．a(chǎn)ppreciate the scenery of the 2，560-metre-high mountain發(fā)布：2025/1/1 13:30:1組卷：8引用：4難度：0.5 -

3．The sky is a large place，and though it has been carefully examined for centuries，new features still turn up.Last March it was the rule of Uranus（天王星），and last week astronomers announced what may turn out to be a new planet，though a very small one，in the solar system.
The object was first sighted last month by Charles Kowal，an astronomer at the Hale Observatories in Pasadena，Calif.Mr Kowal observed a faint trail of light on photographic plates，indicating that something was moving in relation to the background of stars.Other observers have confirmed the discovery.
The "mini-planet"，identified for the time being as "Object-Kowal"，appears to be about 1.5 billion miles away，between the orbit of Saturn and Uranus，and its diameter（直徑）has been estimated at between 100 and 400 miles.Its orbit has not been determined yet，but if the orbit proves to be roughly circular，like that of the major planets，the new object would probably take 66 to 70 years to make a circuit of the sun.
Some astronomers have speculated that Mr Kowal's discovery may be the first indication of an asteroid（小行星）belt beyond Saturn.
（1）What may have been found in the solar system according to the first paragraph？
A．A small new planet.
B．A new solar system.
C．A large new object.
D．A large new planet.
（2）What can we learn from the second paragraph？
A．What the object is like.
B．How the object was found.
C．Where the astronomers live.
D．Why the object was moving.
（3）What magazine might this passage be taken from？
A．Astronomy.
B．Industry.
C．Spaceflight.
D．Agriculture.發(fā)布：2024/12/4 17:30:2組卷：22引用：2難度：0.7
