Question

    Around the world, there are about 7,000 National Parks. Most of them cover huge areas of land where nobody lives. However, the National Parks in England include places where people live and work, as well as wild areas where there are few human activities.

The National Parks in England are called “England’s Breathing Spaces” because they are places where people can go to be in the open air, away from the dirt and noise of cities. They provide wonderful scenes of mountains, woods, grasslands and wetlands. And there are plenty of activities to do in all of the National Parks in England. Visitors can walk or ride bikes for fun. Many of the parks put on activities for families.

Every year there are about 110 million visitors to the parks, bringing many benefits（益处）to the areas. At the same time, it creates problems too. First, life can be difficult for local people. Car parks and roads are too crowded. Gift shops and cafes take the place of many everyday shops. Even house prices in some areas can become too high. Besides, country roads can be damaged, for too many people walk, cycle or ride horses on them. Roads can be rebuilt, but then they look less natural. Another big problem to the National Parks is litter. In the parks it is a danger to wild animals. Broken glass can also cause fires by focusing the rays of the sun. Such fires in wild places can be out of control.

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。主要说明了英国国家公园可以让人们呼吸新鲜空气，享受宁静的时光而吸引了众多的游客，但是也给公园带来了一些问题。就此文章也说明了人们能够为公园提供帮助的方式。

1.细节理解题。根据第一段中However, the National Parks in England include places where people live and work, as well as wild areas where there are few human activities.（然而，英国的国家公园包括人们生活和工作的地方，以及人类活动很少的野生地区。）以及第二段第一句The National Parks in England are called “England’s Breathing Spaces” because they are places where people can go to be in the open air, away from the dirt and noise of cities.（英格兰的国家公园被称为“英格兰的呼吸空间”，因为人们可以去那里呼吸新鲜空气，远离城市的灰尘和噪音。）可知去英国国家公园的游客可以呼吸新鲜空气，享受宁静的时光。故选C。

2.主旨大意题。根据第三段中At the same time, it creates problems too.（与此同时，它也带来了问题。）以及下文说明了具体带来的哪些问题，可知第三段主要告诉我们国家公园存在的问题。故选A。

3.推理判断题。根据下文All National Parks in England are making more rules, which tell people how to take good care of their environment. If these rules are followed, the National Parks will be well kept and continue to give pleasure to many people for a very long time.（英国所有的国家公园都制定了更多的规定，告诉人们如何保护环境。如果这些规则得到遵守，国家公园将得到很好的保护，并在很长一段时间内继续给许多人带来乐趣。）可知是在说明有哪些人们能够提供帮助的方式，故B选项“人们如何提供帮助”最适合填补第4段的空白句。故选B。

4.推理判断题。根据第一段中However, the National Parks in England include places where people live and work, as well as wild areas where there are few human activities.（然而，英国的国家公园包括人们生活和工作的地方，以及人类活动很少的野生地区。）以及文章主要内容为介绍英国的国家公园，故可推测文章可能来自一本杂志的地理部分。故选D。
