Millions of people visit Yosemite National Park every year to see the tall waterfalls and mountains. These mountains are a splendid sight when viewed form the valley floor. Lots of stores, hotels, and restaurants are needed to handle the crowds. Also, water, roads, and other service systems are part of the infrastructure (基础设施) that must be maintained.
Unfortunately, these systems are starting to break down. It’s not just in Yosemite but in national parks around the nation.
Yosemite is thirty years old according to Dennis Galvin, a National Park Service worker. The Park is not only old but worn out. Two or three times as many visitors come every year. That is too many visitors for the park to deal with.
Four years ago a storm washed out a water pipeline in the Grand Canyon. The National Park Service had to send water trucks to provide water for the visitors. Last month pipes almost broke again and roads had to be closed for a while.
Why hasn’t the National Park Service kept up the park repairs? There is a lack of money. The United States has 378 monuments, parks, and wilderness areas. Between three and four billion dollars are needed for repairs.
Yosemite is one national park that does have money for repairs. It has two hundred million dollars but cannot spend it any way it chooses. When the park workers started widening the road, they were forced to stop by the Sierra Club. The club claimed that the road work was damaging the Merced River that runs through the park.
A sierra Club lawyer, Julia Olson, feels that the infrastructure needs to be moved out of Yosemite. That way less pressure will be put on the already crowded park.

1.解析：这是一道细节题。从第一段“These mountains are a splendid sight when viewed from the valley floor.”可以看出从山谷底部看去，Yosemite看上去非常壮观。
2.解析：这是一道细节推断题。根据第二段“Unfortunately， these systems are starting to break down. It’s not just in Yosemite but in national parks around the nation.”可判断出像Yosemite这样的美国国家公园很难满足游客需求的原因是它们的设施常常出毛病。
3.解析：这是一道细节推断题。根据第三段“That is too many visitors for the park to deal with.”可推断出Yosemite国家公园的主要问题是人太拥挤。
4.解析：这是一道细节推断题。倒数第二段“The club claimed that the road work was damaging the Merced River that runs through the park.”表明Sierra Club是一个环境保护组织。
