单选题 Read the following text. Choose the best word(s) for each numbered blank and mark A, B, C or D on ANSWER SHEET 1.
In the past, the Park Service focused on making the big scenic parks more {{U}} {{U}} 1 {{/U}} {{/U}}and comfort able for tourists. Roads were paved to allow "windshield visitors" to experience the grandeur of nature without leaving their cars, and a {{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}number of hotels and grocery stores were permitted to open {{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}} {{/U}}the park boundaries.
Now this trend is changing. Plans have been made to {{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}} {{/U}}the parks to their natural condition as much as possible. The objective of such a move would be to secure the preservation of the parks for future generations, {{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}}allowing present-day visitors to experience pure wilderness, {{U}} {{U}} 6 {{/U}} {{/U}}from any obvious signs of civilization—an opportunity which is quickly disappearing in the twentieth century. {{U}} {{U}} 7 {{/U}} {{/U}}plans call only {{U}} {{U}} 8 {{/U}} {{/U}}a reduction in the number of cars {{U}} {{U}} 9 {{/U}} {{/U}}into the parks each day, but {{U}} {{U}} 10 {{/U}} {{/U}}, tourists may have to leave their cars at the gates and then either visit the park on foot {{U}} {{U}} 11 {{/U}} {{/U}}use park {{U}} {{U}} 12 {{/U}} {{/U}}. {{U}} {{U}} 13 {{/U}} {{/U}}, stores and hotels may no longer be allowed within park boundaries and even the number of campgrounds may be restricted.
Denali National Park in Alaska serves as an excellent {{U}} {{U}} 14 {{/U}} {{/U}}for this new type of park, one which has been changed only slightly from its {{U}} {{U}} 15 {{/U}} {{/U}}state. There is only one road, unpaved in {{U}} {{U}} 16 {{/U}} {{/U}}, which cross {{U}} {{U}} 17 {{/U}} {{/U}}Denali. As car traffic is strictly limited, many visitors experience the magnificent {{U}} {{U}} 18 {{/U}} {{/U}}and wildlife from a park bus. There are no hotels or stores and only seven campgrounds within Denali's 3000 square miles. This {{U}} {{U}} 19 {{/U}} {{/U}}isolation offers backpackers, canoeists, and other sport enthusiasts a {{U}} {{U}} 20 {{/U}} {{/U}}physical and psychological challenge.
