Day One: We’ll greet you in the afternoon and provide you with directions to the best ranch in the northern Yellowstone area, called Hells A Roarin’ Ranch. Surrounded by forest service and miles of wilderness, the ranch has 2 cabins（小屋）and 3 wall tents for guests to settle in before a delightful two-hour horse riding with attractive views overlooking Yellowstone.
Day Two: Breakfast served at 8:00 a.m.. By 9:00 a.m. you’ll be on top of your horse heading into the wilderness for a two-hour horse riding. You’ll be glad for photo stops in this Montana scenery—few people get to experience this wild country. When you return to the ranch, you can enjoy a picnic lunch and wander around to absorb all the ranch life before winding back down the hill to Gardiner Hotel. You will be content with all the high mountain fresh air!

本文为说明文。黄石公园(Yellowstone National Park)是美国第一个国家公园，是不容错过的景点。文章介绍了黄石公园的两日游活动。
【1】细节理解题。根据文中的“Based at our private ranch located at an altitude of 7500 feet, bordering Yellowstone National Park” 我们的私人牧场位于海拔7500英尺、与黄石国家公园接壤。由此可知，这个私人牧场海拔7500英尺，毗邻黄石公园，故选B。
【2】细节理解题。根据文中的Day One部分中的“... a delightful two-hour horse riding with attractive views overlooking Yellowstone”两小时的愉快骑马，俯瞰黄石公园的迷人景色。由此可知，在住下之后，游客可以骑马，骑马的同时可以俯瞰黄石公园的美景，故选B。
【3】细节理解题。根据文中的倒数第二段中的“Cabin Stay: $295 each for the first two people和$245 for each additional person” 小木屋住宿：前两位每位295美元；另加一位每位245美元。由此可知，如果是四个人住在cabin里面，应该是: $295×2 + $245×2=$1080，故选D。
新闻广告类材料是高考的热门考题。其文句简练，信息量大，句式使用简单，表达方式多样，但阅读这类题目也是有规律可循的。此类文章主要考查学生提取信息和处理信息的能力。既注重特定细节的筛选、类比、综合，又注重推理判断题的考查。题目设置相对较易。答题时没有必要弄清每一句话，只要重点理解和题目有关的信息就可以了。做这类题时没有必要阅读全文。宜采用“倒序法”来处理。即先看问题，后看文章内容，略读问题和选项，带问题阅读。这样在阅读中有重点，有针对性地读，冗余无效的信息可略读甚至是不读。在阅读时要特殊留意文中以黑体、大写、下划线等方式加以提示或是小标题等，因为这很有可能是文章的核心或至少是一部分关键性内容的概括。如第3小题属于细节题解题，根据第3小题题目“If a family of 4 persons hopes to settle in a cabin, they will spend .”可知本小题与费用有关，直接定位于倒数第二段中的“Cabin Stay: $295 each for the first two people和$245 for each additional person” 小木屋住宿：前两位每位295美元；另加一位每位245美元。由此可知，如果是四个人住在cabin里面，应该是: $295×2 + $245×2=$1080，故选D。
