________5.Chris is looking for something famous perhaps a“superstar”of parks.He is interested in everything from wildlife to earth activities.He hopes he can find a park which can offer the most to him.
A.This park is a vast natural museum,and it is recognized as the lowest point in the U.S.All the great divisions of geological(地质的)time,the eras and most of their subdivisions,are represented(描写)in the rocks of the mountains bordering the great valley.These rocks and the land forms tell a story of endless changes in the earth's crust(地壳)-vast depositions,contortions,tilting,alternate rising and lowering,faulting and intense heats and pressures that changed the very nature of some rocks.
B.This park protects a large deposit(存放)of fossil(化石)dinosaur bones-remains of the so-called“terrible lizards” that lived millions of years ago.The dinosaurs weren't really lizards,and most of them weren't even terrible.But some of the first dinosaur fossils ever found were huge bones and teeth,very lizard-like except for their size,and so the idea of monstrous lizards was born.Today,many ideas about dinosaurs are changing,and the fossils at this park continue to help us learn more about these fascinating animals.
C.With elevations ranging from 8,000 feet in the wet,grassy valleys to 14,259 feet at the weather-ravaged top of Long's Peak,a visitor to the park has opportunities for countless breathtaking experiences and adventures.A large variety of animals will delight wildlife-watchers of all ages.Wildflower-lovers are never disappointed in June and July when the meadows and hillsides are splashed with botanical color.359 miles of trail offer endless opportunities to hikers,backpackers and horseback riders.So far to find 60 peaks rising above 12,000 feet challenge intrepid hikers and climbers.
D.The world's largest concentration of natural stone arches is found in this park.Over 1500 of these“miracles of nature”grace the 73,000-acre area.And it is famous for the red arches of Entrada sandstone that occur there in great profusion.A 41-mile round-trip paved road in the park leads to the major sights, including Balanced Rock,Skyline Arch,and the Fiery Furnace.But there are also many other striking rock formations scattered over the park's 73,000 scenic acres.
E.Yellowstone is the oldest park in the U.S.park system and is its flagship.Visitors come to experience the park's restless geology;to see grizzlies,gray wolves,and herds of buffalo.Its turbulent(狂暴的)landscape-which remains among the most geologically active lands on the planet,with steam-spewing geysers(间歇温泉),gurgling fumaroles,and frequent earthquakes-was protected as the world's first national park in 1872.Yellowstone and the huge tracts of national-forest land that ring it comprise one of the world's last intact temperate ecosystems-all its major species of plants and animals are still present.
F.This park has a canyon 200 miles long and about a mile deep.Along the ride you follow the Colorado River which carved this massive canyon.At times the canyon is from 5 to 15 miles across.The Colorado River continues to shape and gouge its way through the canyon where about 90 species of mammals(哺乳动物)and some 290 species of birds live.River rafting along the Colorado River has different options for people.You can go on long trips with organizations or even take a smooth ride down the river with a picnic style lunch.

将标有AF的段落插入文章中标号为69的合适的位置,使这篇文章意义完整,结构连贯;其中有一个段落是多余的。
The cowboys who lived in the United States of America,before there were good roads or big modern cities,used to live on the huge spaces of grassland called ranges,because that was where the cows that they looked after could find plenty of grass and water. 1
In the early days it was a hard job getting the cows to the markets where they were killed.It was no good killing them on the range because there were no lorries or railways to carry the meat. 2
On the trail the leader was the trail boss,who told the men which jobs to do.He decided where they should camp at night.
Hundreds or maybe thousands of cattle were taken on the trail. 3
Of course,the chuck wagon went too.“ Chuck was a cowboy name for food,and so the chuck wagon was where the cook did his work and carried his stores of food.The tail board of the wagon made a good shelf,as the back part of the wagon could open outwards so it served very well as a shelf.The cook was able to feed the cowboys,but the cattle had to find their own food on the trail.They ate as they moved along.
4 The cowboys worked very hard and had little time to play When they were resting on the trail they would play cards,tell stories,sing cowboy songs and mend their equipment.
5 The cattle will also arrive fresh and fat when they arrive at the place whereas they would have become tired and thin if they had been taken on the trail.
A.The cattle had to be driven along in a large herd to the towns where they were needed.The places with lots of people who needed meat were often hundreds or thousands of miles away from the ranges.The cattle were rounded up,and those to be sent away were kept together.
B.It was a long,slow job,and the herd covered only about fifteen or twenty miles each day.This meant that the journey to market took many weeks.All this time the cowboy worked in the saddle and slept on the hard ground.They began work the sun rose and they were on their horses for many hours day after day.
C.Because of the danger of the stampede(惊跑),the trail boss and his men did everything they could to keep the cattle quiet.During the day the herd was moved along at a slow,steady pace.At night when most of the men were asleep,a gang of cowboys would ride round and round the herd,singing and whistling softly.This was to let the cows know that everything was all right.
D.But when the time came to sell the cows,there were no buyers on the range-they had to be taken into market.
E.The herd was not made to move too quickly-if they rushed along they would get thin and not be worth much at the market.Some cowboys rode beside them,some in front and others at the back.Cows which moved too slowly were hurried along.Cows which tried to get away were made to go back to the herd.
F.When railways were built there were no need to take cattle on the trail.Instead they were put into railway cars and taken quickly to the markets.Today a fast cattle train will take only a few hours to do a journey which once took the cowboys and their herds many days or weeks.
