Five million people visit Grand Canyon ...

 

 Five million people visit Grand Canyon in the US every year. For the purpose of helping protect Grand Canyon for your fellow visitors and future generations, please follow the guidelines below.

Camping

 To protect the park, camping is allowed only within permitted campgrounds. Permits are required for overnight camping at the North Rim. Advance booking can be received by mail. Please write: Information Center, P.O. Box 129, Grand Canyon, AZ 86023

Fires

 Because of the extreme fire danger, campfires are not allowed except at Mather and Desert View campgrounds. Collection of firewood is not allowed either.

Hiking

Please stay on permitted paths. Otherwise you may destroy desert plants. Pack out what you pack in, so you leave no signs of your visit. It is important to keep in mind that you are in a national park where wildlife exists.

Weather

 The weather at Grand Canyon can change very quickly. With so much rock, lightning causes a particular danger during sudden summer storms. These storms also frequently bring floods inside valleys, a danger to hikers. Watch the skies and check daily weather reports.

Wildlife

 Do not feed park wildlife. There have been a few cases at Grand Canyon National Park where deer were purposely shot because they ate plastic bags that left them sick and weak. Hungry deer can be a danger and have kicked and bitten visitors at Grand Canyon. Some other animals will also beg and bite. For your own safety and the well-being of the animals, please do not feed wildlife, no matter how gentle they may appear.

第三部分  阅读理解 (共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)

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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Even at school there had been an unhealthy competition between George and Richard.

“I’ll be the first millionaire in Coleford!” Richard used to boast. “And you’ll be sorry you knew me,” George would reply “because I’ll be the best lawyer in the town!”

George never did become a lawyer and Richard never made any money. Instead both men opened bookshops on opposite sides of Coleford High Street. It was hard to make money from books, which made the competition between them worse.

Then Richard married a mysterious girl. The couple spent their honeymoon on the coast—but Richard never came back. The police found his wallet on a deserted beach but the body was never found. He must have drowned.

Now with only one bookshop in town, business was better for George. But sometimes he sat in his narrow, old kitchen and gazed out of the dirty window, thinking about his formal rival(竞争对手). Perhaps he missed him?

George was very interested in old dictionaries. He’d recently found a collector in Australia who was selling a rare first edition. When the parcel arrived, the book was in perfect condition and George was delighted. But while he was having lunch, George glanced at the photo in the newspaper that the book had been wrapped in. He was astonished—the smiling face was older than he remembered but unmistakable! Trembling, George started reading.

“Bookends have bought ten bookstores from their rivals Dylans. The company, owned by multi-millionaire Richard Pike, is now the largest bookseller in Australia.”  

1. George and Richard were ______ at school.

A. roommates   B. good friends   C. competitors   D. booksellers

2. How did George feel about Richard after his disappearance?

A. He envied(嫉妒) Richard’s marriage.

B. He thought of Richard from time to time.

C. He felt lucky with no rival in town.

D. He was guilty of Richard’s death.

3. George got information about Richard from ______.

A. the wrapping paper of a book 

B. the latter’s rivals Dylans

C. a rare first edition of a dictionary 

D. a dictionary collector in Australia

4. What happened to George and Richard in the end?

A. Both George and Richard became millionaires.

B. Both of them realized their original ambitions.

C. George established a successful business while Richard was missing.

D. Richard became a millionaire while George had no great success

Several years ago, while attending a communication course, I experienced a most unusual process. The instructor asked us to list  41  in our past that we felt  42  of, regretted, or incomplete about and then read our lists aloud.

This seemed like a very  43  process, but there’s always some  44 soul in the crowd who will volunteer. The instructor then  45  that we find ways to  46  people, or take some action to correct any wrong doings. I was seriously wondering how this could ever  47  my communication.

Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story: Making my  48 , I remembered an incident from high school. I grew up in a small town. There was a Sheriff who  49  of us kids liked. One night, my two buddies and I decided to play a  50  on him.

After drinking a few beers, we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a s.o.b.(畜生). The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious  51 . Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office. My friends told the truth but I lied. No one  52  found out.

Nearly 20 years later, Sheriff Brown’s name  53  on my list. I didn’t even know if he was still  54 . Last weekend, I dialed the information in my hometown and found there was a Roger Brown still listed. I tried his number. After a few  55 , I heard, “Hello?” I said, “Sheriff Brown?”Paused. “Yes.” “Well, this is Jimmy Calkins.”

“And I want you to know that I did it.” Paused. “I knew it!” he yelled back. We had a good laugh and a  56  discussion. His closing words were: “Jimmy, I always felt bad for you  57  your buddies got it off their chest, but you were carrying it  58  all these years. I want to thank you for calling me...for your sake.”
