D推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Itisacircularwalkingtrackof4.4km.”可知，国家山口步行小道是一条环形路线。13．选D细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知，大阶梯有一百多年的历史了。14．选B细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知，一路上的瀑布会让旅行者感到激动。15．选A推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Thewalk...requiresgoodhealthandphysicalcondition.”可知，步行者应该知道，他们必须足够强壮才能完成这里的旅行。语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。国家公园并非只是一个消遣的去处，事实上国家公园的存在有着诸多的好处及意义。16．选C根据上文“Nationalparksareoften...fishinganddevelopment.”及本段小标题“Biodiversitylikenowhereelse”可知，本段讲述国家公园以法律的形式对生态进行保护，尤其是对濒危物种的保护。由此可知，C项(公园可以保障受威胁物种的安全)顺承上文，话题一致，其中threatened是原词复现。17．选G根据下文中的“Natureencourages...toconnectwithnature.”可知，本段主要介绍了国家公园对人们健康的好处、人与自然的联系。由此可知，G项(研究表明，置身大自然对你的身心健康有益)符合语境。选项中nature、physical与下文中的Nature、physical为原词复现的关系，选项中mentalhealth与下文中的reducedepression呼应。18．选B该空为小标题，应概括下面段落主要内容。根据下文可知，本段主要介绍了国家公园有助于减少自然灾害所产生的危害。由此可知，B项(公园可以减少自然灾害)可以概括本段的主旨大意。19．选F根据上文“Thiscansavelivesandinfrastructure(基础设施)bypreventinglandslides,avalanches(雪崩)anderosion.Theseareasalsoreducefloodsbypreservingwetlands.”可知，本段主要举例证明国家公园的存在可以减少自然灾害。由此可知，F项(最后，沿海受保护的栖息地减少了洪水、海平面上升等问题)顺承上文，列举又一个减少自然灾害的例子，与前面例子并列。20．选E根据上文及小标题“Parksimprovetheeconomy”可知，本段主要讲国家公园的存在也促进国家经济的发展，尤其产生了很多就业机会。前面介绍仅黄石公园就创造了7735个岗位，由此可知，E项(在全国范围内，国家公园提供了30.6万个直接就业机会)顺承上文，再次用数据证明国家公园创造大量的就业岗位，解决就业压力，解释了国家公园对经济的影响。第二部分语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者描述了他去风洞国家公园游览的经历。21．选D由下文中的“I'vebeeninmanyofthe________cavesintheworld”和“Somorecaves”可知，这里作者是说他已经去过世界上很多洞穴。故选caves。22．选B本空所在句是对上文的解释，作者对风洞国家公园不感兴趣，究其原因是他已经去过世界上很多最棒的洞穴。故best符合语境。下文中的“seenothergreatcaves”也是提示。23．选D结合上文可知，因为过往游览过许多知名洞穴，所以再多的洞穴都提不起作者的兴趣。故unimpressive(普通的，毫无特色的)符合语境。此处呼应了最后一段作者描述他游览风洞国家公园时的感受。24．选A由But一词的转折以及下文作者描述他去风洞国家公园的经历可知，尽管他对该景点不感兴趣，但因为它是一处国家公园，所以作者还是愿意去参观。behappytodosth.“愿意去做某事”。25．选C由下文中的解释“firstefirstservedtickets”和“Ihadalotofdrivingaheadofme”可知，因为有其他的安排，为了先到先买票，作者早上八点整就“到达(arrive)”游客中心。26．选C根据常识可知，在游客中心买票需要排队。故lineup(排队，排成一行)符合语境。27．选B由下文多次出现的tour可知，这里作者是说他参加有导游的洞穴之旅。28．选B由上文中的“Iwassureto________attheVisitorCenterat8amsharp”和“Ihadalotofdrivingaheadofme”可知，作者早上八点整就排队买票，是因为他还有其他安排，不想“错过(miss)”出发最早的参观团。29．选D由本句中的“Notsurprisingly”和“thetourstake40people”可知，想要参加最早出发的参观团的游客不止作者一个人。故alone符合语境。30．选D由下文作者介绍他的此次洞穴之旅可知，他如愿“加入(geton)”到了当天最早的参观团。31．选C由常识和本句中的“over300stairs”可知，参观行程包含“走(walking)”一段有300多个台阶的路。32．选A由上文中的描述“over300stairsthatareoftenwet”可知，走一段时常是湿漉漉的有300多个台阶的路对老年人来说非常不易。故challenge(挑战)符合语境。33．选D由上文中的“ThecavesthemselveswereOK.”和“Imaysoundjaded”可知，因为作者已经见识过很多非常棒的洞穴，因此风洞让他有点失望。故disappointing符合语境，与jaded形成呼应。34．选B由上文中的“Ihadalotofdrivingaheadofme”可知，参观完风洞，作者还有驱车参观该国家公园的安排。故此处选drive，与上文的driving是原词复现关系。35．选B由上文中的“seebuffalo(野牛)andotheranimalswanderingaround”可知，因为下雨，作者没有在风洞国家公园“看到(see)”很多动物。语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了位于中国西北部的甘肃省张掖国家地质公园里的丹霞地貌。36．with考查介词。beblessedwith“拥有，幸运地享有”是固定搭配。故填with。37．covering考查非谓语动词。非谓语动词cover和前面名词area之间是主动关系，故用其现在分词作后置定语。故填covering。38．a考
