Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine ArtsB Millions of people visit Yosemite National Park every year to see the tall waterfalls and mountains. The mountains are a splendid sight when viewed(看) from the valley floor. Lots of stores, hotels, and restaurants are needed to handle the crowds. Also, water, roads, and other service systems are part of the infrastructure(基础设施) that must be maintained. Unfortunately, these systems are starting to break down. Its not just in Yosemite But in national parks around the nation. Yosemite is thirty years old according to Dennis Galvin, a National Park Service worker. The park is not only old but worn out. Two or three times as many visitors come every year. That is too many visitors for the park to deal with. Four years ago a storm washed out a water pipeline in the Grand Canyon. The National Park Service had to send water trucks to provide water for the visitors. Last month pipes almost broke again and roads had to be closed for a while. Why hasnt the National Park Service kept up the park repairs? There is a lack of money. The United States has 378 monuments, parks, and wilderness areas. Between three and four billion dollars are needed for repairs. Yosemite is one national park that does have money for repairs. It has two hundred million dollars but cannot spend it any way it chooses. When the park workers started widening the road, they were forced to stop by the Sierra Club. The club claimed that the road work was damaging the Merced River that runs through the park. A Sierra Club lawyer, Julia Olson, feels that the infrastructure needs to be moved out of Yosemite. That way less pressure will be put on the already crowded park.24. According to the text, the mountains in Yosemite look most splendid when they are appreciated from _. A. the bottom of the valleys B. the top of the mountains C. the side of the mountains D. the edge of the valleys25. National parks like Yosemite in the U.S. find it increasingly difficult to meet the need of visitors because _. A. their transport management needs improving B. they spend too much on their service systems C. their service systems frequently go out of order D. they need help from environmental organizations26. The main problem of Yosemite National Park is its _. A. rundown water pipes B. overcrowdedness C. lack of money D. narrow roads27. According to the text, the Sierra Club is most likely to be _. A. an environmental group B. an information center C. a travel service D. a law firm C Last August, Joe and Mary Mahoney began looking at colleges for their 17-year-old daughter, Maureen. With a checklist of criteria in hand, the Dallas family looked around the country visiting half a dozen schools. They sought a university that offered the teenagers intended major(专业), one located near a large city, and a campus where their daughter would be safe. “The safety issue is a big one,” says Joe Mahoney, who quickly discovered he wasnt alone in his worries. On campus tours other parents voiced similar concerns, and the same question was always asked: what about crime? But when college officials always gave the same answer -“Thats not a problem here,”-Mahoney began to feel uneasy. “No crime whats over?” comments Mahoney today. “I just dont buy it.” Nor should he: in 2015 the U.S. Department of education had reports of nearly 400,000 serious crimes on or around our campuses. “Parents need to understand that times have changed since they went to college,” says David Nichols, author of Creating a Safe Campus. “Campus crime mirrors the rest of the nation.” But getting accurate information isnt easy. Colleges must report crime statistics(统计数字) by law, but some hold back for fear of bad publicity, leaving the honest ones looking dangerous. “The truth may not always be serious,” warns S. Daniel Carter of Security on Campus, Inc., the nations leading campus safety watchdog group. To help concerned parents, Carter promised to visit campuses and talk to experts around the country to find out major crime issues and effective solutions.28. The Mahoneys visited quite a few colleges last August _. A. to express the opinions of many parents B. to choose a right one for their daughter C. to check the cost of college education D. to find a right one near a large city29. It is often difficult to get correct information on campus crime because some colleges _. A. receive too many visitors B. mirror the rest of the nation C. hide the truth of campus crime D. have too many watchdog groups30. The underlined word “buy” in the third paragraph means _. A. mind B. admit C. believe D. expect31. What is the text mainly about? A. Exact campus crime statistics. B. Crimes on or around campuses. C. Effective solutions to campus crime. D. Concerns about kids campus safety.D A device that stops drivers from falling asleep at the wheel is about to undergo testing at Department of Transport laboratories and could go on sale within 12 months. The system, called Driver Alert, aims to reduce deadly road accidents by 20%-40% that are caused by tiredness. Airline pilots can also use it to reduce the 30% of all pilot-error accidents that are related to fatigue. Driver Alert is based on a computerized wristband. The device, worn by drivers or pilots, gives out a sound about every four minutes during a car journey. After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing the steering wheel(方向盘). A sensor in the wristband detects this pressing action and measures the time between the sound and the drivers response. Tiredness is directly related to a drivers response time. Usually, a watchful driver would take about 400 milliseconds to respond, but once that falls to more than 500 milliseconds, it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy. In such cases the device gives out more regular and louder sounds, showing that the driver should open a window or stop for a rest. If the drivers response continues to slow down, the sounds become more frequent until a nonstop alarm warns that the driver must stop as soon as possible.The device has been delivered to the departments laboratories for testing. If these tests, scheduled for six months time, are successful, the markets will bring the product to market within about a year.32. According to the text, Driver Alert _. A. aims to reduce tiredness-related accidents B. has gone through testing at laboratories C. aims to prevent drivers from sleeping D. has been on sale for 12 months33.

When the driver gets sleepy while driving, Driver Alert _. A. moves more regularly B. stops working properly C. opens the window for the driver D. sounds more frequently and loudly第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to find time for yourselfDo you ever find yourself longing for some time for yourself?
