I fell in love with Yosemite National Park the first time I saw it, when I was 13 . My parents took us there for camping. On the way out, I asked them to wait while I ran up to EL Capitan, a 51 rock of 3,300 feet straight up. I touched that giant rock and knew 52 I wanted to climb it. That has been my life’s passion ever since— 53 the rocks and mountains of Yosemite. I’ve long made Yosemite my 54 .
About 15 years ago I started seeing a lot of 55 , like toilet paper, beer cans, and empty boxes, around the area. It’s 56 me why visitors started respecting the place 57 and treated such a beautiful home-like place this way.
I tried 58 trash myself, but the job was too big. I would 59 an hour or two on the job, only to find the area trashed all over again weeks later. Finally, I got so 60 it that I decided something had to change.
As a rock-climbing guide, I knew 61 about organizing any big event. But in 2004, together with some climbers, I set a date for a 62 . On that day, more than 300 people 63 . Over three days we collected about 6,000 pounds of trash. It was amazing how much we were able to 64 . I couldn’t believe the 65 we made —the park looked clean!
Each year volunteers come for the cleanup from everywhere. In 2007 alone, 2,945 people picked up 42,330 pounds of trash and 66 132 miles of roadway.
I often hear people 67 about their surroundings. If you are one of them, I would say the only way to change things is by 68 rather than complaining. We need to teach by 69 . You can’t blame others 70 you start with yourself.

A
Learners of English, especially self-taught learners may have trouble in understanding speeches by native speakers. The following ways might help improve their listening ability.
First of all, do things step by step. It is not good to listen to something beyond your level. Better choose a suitable course and start with the first book. Go on to the second book only after you are sure you understand the first one.
Secondly, stick to one course of study. Don’t change books often. Never let your attention be attracted by another course just because it seems to be more “fashionable”.
Thirdly, listen to the English news program over the radio from time to time. Better go through the news stories in the Chinese-language newspaper first. That will make it easy for you to understand the English news on the radio.
Fourthly, if you have time, listen to some interesting stories in “Special English from the V.O.A. or other listening materials of the same level as that of your textbook”.
71. This is a piece of advice to learners of English on how to ________.
A. improve their listening ability
B. read fast
C. write better English and read faster
D. speak correctly
72. If you want to understand the English news program on the radio, you should ________.
A. read the Chinese-language newspaper step by step
B. read again and again the Chinese-language newspaper
C. go through the Chinese-language newspaper first
D. be able to recite the Chinese-language newspaper
73. The author advised that once you have taken up a course, you ________.
A. should stick to it
B. should begin with the last book
C. should take up other courses if they are more fashionable
D. shouldn’t do anything else
74. In this passage, V.O.A. stands for ________.
A. a book B. a magazine

B
Monday: Here I am, in the middle of nowhere. This camping trip idea is not getting off to a very good start. It’s raining and the tent leaks. The hiking seemed to take forever, and I still can’t understand how it could all have been up hill! How did I ever let my brother talk me into this? When we get home—if we ever get home—he’s going to have to do something great to get back on my good side. Maybe he should sponsor a shopping spree（狂购）at the mall!

Tuesday: Things are looking up. The sun came out today, so we were able to leave the tents and dry out. We’re camped at the edge of a small lake that I couldn’t see before because of the rain and fog. The mountains are all around us, and the forest is absolutely beautiful. We spent most of the day dragging out everything out of our backpacks or tents and putting it where the sun could dry it out. Later in the afternoon we tried to catch the fish for dinner, but the fish were smarter than we were. At night we built a fire and sang songs happily.

Wednesday: We hiked to the far side of the lake and climbed to the top of a small peak. From there we could see how high the other mountains were and how far the forest spread around us. On the way up we passed through a snowfield!

Thursday: I caught my first fish! We followed the stream that fed the lake. After about two miles, we came to a section that Carol said looked “fishy”. She had a pack rod(竿), which can be carried in a backpack. I asked to cast it, and I caught a fish on my first try. Carol caught a few more. But they were just too pretty to eat for lunch so we put them back in the stream.

Friday: I can’t believe we are going home already. It will be nice to get a hot shower, sleep in a real bed, and eat junk food, but the trip has been wonderful. We’re already talking about another camping adventure next year where we canoe down a river. It’s hard to believe, but I think this city girl has a little country blood in her veins.
75. The writer went on this camping trip because________.
A. she enjoyed camping B. she wanted to go fishing
C. she was influenced by her brother D. she was tired of staying at home
76. The whole morning of Tuesday, the writer ________.
A. hiked along the lake B. dried out her belongings
C. climbed the mountain D. caught the fish for dinner
77. It can be inferred that Carol had a pack rod with her because ________.
A. she could not afford to buy a regular fishing pole
B. she needed it to get their main source of food
C. she thought the writer of the journal might need it
D. she expected to go fishing while they were hiking
78. It is likely that the writer will ________.
A. go on another camping trip
B. invite Carol to go fishing together
C. make her brother buy her something
D. convince her brother to go camping
