The remote campground is located about 6 miles up unpaved Davison Road. This is a small

campground, though, with only 26 sites. So you’ll need to book your site well in advance. As far as

facilities go, there are solar showers, barbecues and fire pits, picnic tables and food lockers-more

than enough for a remote camping adventure. Note that the first part of Davison Road is very steep

and winding. Large RVs(

房车

)are prohibited on this road.

Nightly rate: $35

Watchman Campground, Zion National Park, UT

There are five different loops(

圈

tent-only. Loop E is where the group sites are. Note, however, that this campground is extremely

popular. Reservations are absolutely recommended from March through November. The off-season,

on the other hand, offers first-come, first-served camping.

Nightly rate: $30 for an electric site; $20 for a tent-only site

Renting a sled or sand board for an afternoon of fun —you’ll feel like a kid again. Sites can

accommodate both RVs and tents.

Nightly rate: $20

Painted Desert, Petrified Forest National Park, AZ

It’s a fantastic place to put up a tent. This is free camping, wild camping. The only thing you have to

from the trail head, you’re free to set up tents wherever you want. Remember to obey the Leave No

12. Last September an American started a trip through Southwest China on a standard bike she had

bought at a local shop. In three months, Jennifer Holstein cycled 2,500 kilometers through three

provinces with just two small bags.

Living in Beijing, her life was already great. But Holstein felt the urge to travel the world and look

for adventure. It was mid-August of 2021 that the idea came to her to travel China by bicycle. At

that time, Holstein had never cycled for more than 20 kilometers around her local city of Beijing.

Holstein shared an experience from the beginning of her trip when she found herself stuck in a

tunnel (

隧道

) with a flat tire. It was dark and hot, and she was so scared because she had never

changed a tire before. Suddenly, a group of cyclists old enough to be her grandparents came and

rescued her.

In addition to receiving the kindness of people across China, Holstein also experienced several

unique cultural experiences by attending three local weddings. She spoke about one wedding in

detail, “I was in the middle of a small village in Sichuan province, and I was taken into a local

Tibetan family’s home and they invited me to take part in a wedding. They gave me a dress and even

did my makeup. I never thought I would ever have the chance to take part in a Tibetan wedding.”

According to Holstein, “Many people want to travel the world and take huge risks, but never do.

Don’t just live your life hoping your wildest dreams will become a reality someday. Try first and the

rest will work itself out.” In addition to biking for her own passion and curiosity, Holstein also

linked her ride to raise 22,000 yuan for the United Foundation for China’s Health.

D

．

They thought themselves too old to help her.

3. What can be inferred from Jennifer Holstein’s words in paragraph 4?

13. A flood hit Yellowstone National Park on June 13, 2022. The disaster was caused by a

combination of unusually heavy rains and rapid snow melt. The high and fast water flows destroyed

bridges and swept away entire roadways, leaving communities and homes isolated. Fortunately, the

approximately 10,000 park visitors were safely evacuated.

The town of Gardiner, along the Montana-Wyoming border, was particularly hard hit. The

floodwaters left almost 900 people with no power or water for many days. Gardiner’s economy,

which depends on the almost three-quarters of a million visitors who pass through the park’s north

gate annually, is likely to take a hit. The floodwaters severely damaged the main north entrance road

to Yellowstone, and could take years to rebuild.

Park officials have begun work on improving an alternative road to Gardiner. This will ensure that

locals can access food, supplies, and other essential emergency services. A limited number of

tourists may also be allowed into Gardiner once the road is stable.

Yellowstone’s north gate is closed indefinitely. But the park’s south gate opened to visitors on June

22, 2022. Park officials have started a new entry system to prevent overcrowding. It is based on the

last number of the visitor’s vehicle license plate and the calendar date of the month. Cars with odd

(

奇数的

) numbers can visit the park on odd days of the month, while those with even (

偶数的

)

numbers can go on even days.

Established in 1872, Yellowstone is America’s oldest national park. The 3,472-square-mile reserve

spans three states and is home to many unique wildlife. It is known for its natural beauty that

includes mountains, rivers and lakes. The forces of fire and ice shaped the park over thousands of

years.

1. What does the underlined word “isolated” in paragraph 1 probably mean?

A

．

Tracked.

C

．

Decorated.

2. What was the possible result of the flood?

B

．

Separated.

D

．

Improved.
