本文是一篇應(yīng)用文，是一篇旅游攻略，主要介紹了美國科羅拉多大峽谷的游覽事項，包含了如何到達峽谷，游覽的路線以及門票信息。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Grand Canyon Village: It can be reached by driving and is served by the Grand Canyon Railway.”大峽谷村：它可以通過駕車到達，并由大峽谷鐵路服務(wù)。以及“Make your visit easier by parking your car at the Visitor Center and using the free buses to travel around the “South Rim”.”讓你的游覽更容易，停車在游客中心，并且使用免費公共汽車在“南緣”周圍穿梭。可知游客可以通過乘坐公共汽車、火車和開車到達大峽谷，不能乘坐飛機到達。故選D。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。more popular更流行；more beautiful更美麗；more dangerous更危險；higher更高。根據(jù)“The “South Rim” is open all year long.” “南緣”全年開放�！�During winter months, all roads are closed to visitors. Even in good weather, the “North Rim” is harder to get to.”在冬季，所有的道路都對游客關(guān)閉。即使在好天氣下，“北緣”也很難到達。可知，南緣比較容易游覽，所以南緣應(yīng)該更流行。故選A。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Individual (個體) Pass: ＄20 For one individual when entering on foot, by bicycle, bus or the Grand Canyon Railway. Admission is free for individuals 15 years old and younger.” 可知騎自行車進入大峽谷每人是20美元，15歲或以下的孩子免費。故David和他的妻子以及12歲的孩子一共需要花費40美元。故選A。

【4】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“During winter months, all roads are closed to visitors.” 在冬季，所有的道路都對游客關(guān)閉。可知冬季北緣不允許游客進入是正確的，A正確。根據(jù)“Valid (有效的) for 12 months from the date of purchase and for unlimited (無限的) visits to the park.”可知有效期為12個月的年票可以無限次的游覽，故B項錯誤；根據(jù)“Desert View Drive: east of the village”可知沙漠觀光車是通向東部，而不是西部。故C項錯誤。根據(jù)“Grand Canyon National Park is one of the most popular parks in the United States.”大峽谷國家公園是美國最受歡迎的公園之一，而不是最流行的一個，故D項錯誤。故選A。

【5】推理判斷題。根據(jù)全文含義，本文是一篇旅游攻略，主要介紹美國科羅拉多大峽谷的游覽事項，所以這篇文章應(yīng)該出自旅行指南。in a dictionary在字典里；in a travel guide在旅游指南里；in a science book在科學(xué)書籍里；in a fashion magazine在一本時尚雜志里。故選B。
