Visitor Guide to Accessible Features in Yellowstone National Park
Welcome to Yellowstone National Park, the first and greatest national park in the world. We hope you will enjoy visiting the world’s highest concentration of geysers (间歇喷泉) and other hydrothermal features, enjoy viewing the world-class scenery, and enjoy watching the abundant wildlife.
Many park facilities are more than a century old and accessibility is not always ideal. However, the park service is improving the facilities as quickly as possible within funding limitations.
This guide describes most facilities judged to be accessible by wheelchair users without assistance. It also indicates those facilities that may require assistance for some wheelchair users. Please note that facilities described as accessible do not necessarily fully reach federal standards, and some accessible facilities are not marked with the international symbol.

What does “home” mean It means different things to different people. It can be a place of love, a difficult environment, or simply a state of mind. The American Folk Art Museum’s exhibition Somewhere to Roost presents 60 works of art to explore different ideas of home. Folk art here refers to works created by ordinary self-taught artists rather than well-trained professional painters, carrying authentic personal feelings from daily life.
The exhibition’s name originates from Thornton Dial Sr.’s work Birds Gotta Have Somewhere to Roost. It uses everyday waste materials to show how birds build nests, just as people create homes. Many works in the show use simple objects to express deep feelings about home.
Some works show warm and peaceful home life. For example, a 19th-century drawing carries the words “Home Sweet Home,” and a lovely birdcage represents safety and warmth. A classic portrait shows a happy middle-class child, reflecting ordinary people’s hope for a peaceful home full of care.
However, other works describe the pain of losing home or living in a terrible place. A photograph records a homeless man’s simple shelter that was later burned down. These works remind us that home can be brittle and unable to stand harsh external changes.
Some artists tell their own life stories through their works. Clementine Hunter painted daily life on a plantation, recording her memories of home. Artist Kapo once lost his house unexpectedly and received help from singer Roberta Flack to rebuild his home and keep creating art.
The exhibition shows that home is more than a building. It is a feeling, a memory, and a basic human need. No matter how hard life is, people always try to build a place to belong.
4. Where does the exhibition’s title come from
A．Life-focused folk art.
B．Common waste materials.
C．An artist’s specific work.
D．Various ideas about habitats.
5. What message does the birdcage artwork convey
A．Sorrow of losing shelters.
B．Simple home-making tools.
C．Kids’ joyful growth at home.
D．Comfortable family-centered life.
6. What does the underlined word “brittle” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Unable to preserve. B．Easy to damage.
C．Difficult to design. D．Likely to disappear.
7. What mainly contributed to Kapo’s further art creation
A．His personal life experiences.
B．The memories of home.
C．His former artistic collections.
D．The recovery of his belongings.

A year after Val Kilmer’s death, a generative AI version of the late actor is set to co-star in the independent film As Deep as the Grave, a groundbreaking application of AI in movie-making. First Line Films confirmed the news, revealing Kilmer had signed on for the role before his passing but was unable to film due to declining health. His family approved the digital replication (复制) of his likeness and is receiving proper compensation (补偿) for the use of his AI image.
Mercedes Kilmer, the actor’s daughter, noted the role deeply attracted her father, who was always optimistic about emerging technologies as a means to enrich storytelling. Kilmer died at 65 last April from pneumonia, after throat cancer affected his voice years earlier. He once used AI to digitally recreate his voice for his final screen appearance in 2022.
AI’s role in film-making has long been a debated topic in Hollywood. While some companies have created AI-generated virtual actors, the actors’ union SAG-AFTRA has criticized such practice and issued strict regulations. The union’s rules demand prior permission from performers for the use of their digital replicas, and post-death usage require approval from a performer’s representative.
As Deep as the Grave was filmed years ago but paused in post-production. It is based on a true story about archaeologists uncovering Native American history in Arizona. Kilmer, who had part Native American heritage, was drawn to the project five years ago.
The film’s creators stated they strictly followed SAG-AFTRA’s guidelines, calling their work a model for moral AI use with late actors. They worked with Mercedes Kilmer to keep the character true to the original design. Producers are seeking ways to release the movie in the near future.
8. What do we know about Val Kilmer in paragraph 1
A．He accepted the role earlier.
B．He finished filming the movie.
C．He created his AI movie image.
D．He left his family a large fortune.
9. What can we learn about Val Kilmer’s role according to his daughter
A．It enriched people’s life.
B．It appealed to Val Kilmer.
C．It made Val Kilmer more optimistic.
D．It showcased the progress in movie-making.
10. What does SAG-AFTRA think of using AI-generated virtual actors
A．It should be banned.
B．It serves to promote storytelling.
C．It is acceptable with permission.
D．It is beneficial for digital production.
11. What is the main focus of the last paragraph
A．New plans for the launch of the film.
B．Strict requirements for using AI in films.
C．Efforts to recreate Kilmer’s character well.
D．Producers’ expectation to make another film.
D
Experts say that “mental workout” can help prevent Alzheimer’s disease, a type of dementia (痴呆). However, repeatedly doing simple tasks like daily crossword puzzles is not effective. Instead, various cognitively (认知) stimulating hobbies act as a real mental exercise, building knowledge and skills that strengthen the brain as we age.
A recent study found that lifelong learning can reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and slow cognitive decline. Lifelong learning includes many meaningful activities, such as reading, writing, learning a new language, playing chess, solving puzzles, and visiting museums from childhood to old age. These activities fully stretch our brain and activate different cognitive systems.
Andrea Zammit, the neuropsychologist (神经心理学家) who led the study, says it is never too late to start. Middle age is an important period for protecting brain health. The key is to choose activities we like and keep doing them instead of trying them only for a short time.
Zammit’s eight-year study followed nearly 2,000 healthy older adults. Results showed that people with rich lifelong learning developed Alzheimer’s about five years later than those without. Findings also showed that mentally active people still had better memory and thinking skills, even when their brains had signs of Alzheimer’s.
This is called “cognitive reserve”. Learning strengthens neural connections, making the brain more resistant to damage from aging or disease. Playing a musical instrument and brain speed training help improve attention and reaction time, and joining a book club can combine reading, discussion and social communication.
In short, keeping the brain active through meaningful learning is a crucial way to protect our brain, stay sharp, and lower the risk of dementia as we grow older.
12. What do experts think fails to strengthen the brain against aging
A．Redoing ordinary puzzles.
B．Updating knowledge regularly.
C．Studying new games timely.
D．Taking different mental workouts.
13. What is Zammit’s suggestion about brain protection
A．Trying new hobbies.
B．Sticking with favorite activities.
C．Starting learning early.
D．Exercising with the middle aged.
14. What is the function of “cognitive reserve”
A．Repair damaged neural systems.
B．Diagnose Alzheimer’s disease.
C．Measure the level of mental health.
D．Slow aging-related brain harm.
15. What can be the best title for the passage
A．Useful Tips Help Keep off Illnesses.
B．Effective Brain Exercise Fights Dementia.
C．Constant Self-improvement Boosts Wellness.
D．New Findings Advance Alzheimer’s Treatment.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Leo Miller was a thin, slight boy. By the time he reached primary school, he’d come to terms with a small but noticeable difference — while his classmates had ten fingers, he was missing one from his right hand. His once-bright enthusiasm faded little by little after a classmate made fun of his incomplete hand. He grew self-conscious and avoided playing with other kids, shutting himself off more and more each day.
Alone most of the time, Leo couldn’t shake a lingering (挥之不去的) question: Why was he the only one with a missing finger He poured out his troubles to his parents, saying he disliked being different from other normal children. His mother felt helpless, knowing the blow to his confidence was deep, yet she didn’t know how to ease his pain or help him embrace his difference.
One evening, after finishing work, Leo’s mother turned on the TV and came across a documentary. The film focused on Dylan, a teen from Iowa who’d become something of an Internet influencer. Dylan was a passionate basketball player, showing incredible skill on the court — and just like Leo, he was missing one finger. A rare condition from birth had left him with the same physical weakness, yet he’d turned it into no barrier to pursuing what he loved.
Leo’s eyes lit up as he watched Dylan play; for the first time, he saw someone who shared his “weakness” thriving. Even so, doubt lingered — he thought Dylan was just a special case, that someone like him could never achieve the same. He couldn’t imagine himself stepping out of his shell, let alone shining like Dylan.
What Leo didn’t know was that his family had already reached out to the local social media, hoping to arrange a meeting with Dylan. They wanted him to see firsthand that a missing finger didn’t limit what he could do.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Fortunately, Dylan agreed to meet Leo three days later.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Leo was completely infected by Dylan’s optimism and self-confidence.

Fortunately, Dylan agreed to meet Leo three days later. On the meeting day, Leo arrived nervously, not knowing what to expect. To his surprise, Dylan was warm and easy-going. He shared his own experience of being laughed at as a kid and how he overcame inferiority through constant sports practice. Dylan showed Leo his basketball skills and told him that true strength lay in perseverance rather than perfect bodies. He encouraged Leo to embrace his uniqueness bravely.
Leo was completely infected by Dylan’s optimism and self-confidence. His long-held inferiority faded away gradually. Inspired by Dylan, Leo decided to change himself. He began to take part in sports activities actively and made friends with his classmates. He finally realized that no physical imperfection could limit his growth. From then on, Leo became outgoing and confident, living a positive and sunny life.
