问题     The United States has a new national park. It is me Great Basin. It is me first national park in the western state of Nevada. The new park is in the eastern part of Nevada, near me border(边界) with Utah. It is far from any city.
    An American explorer John Charles Fremont travelled through the area in the early 1800’s. He found me land shaped like a bowl. So he named it the Great Basin. It is a land of unusual beauty and sharp differences.
    For example, you can climb a mountain covered with green forests, then cool yourself in a field of snow as you arrive at the top. Here and there, sharp rocks push out through the snow. Among the rocks you might see homes of the golden hawk(鹰), a bird that was once in danger of dying out.
    You can camp in a campground on the edge of Lehman Caves. These caves are a group of large underground rooms made of limestone(石灰石). You can walk through them for about a kilometre. Before the park opened, the caves were the centre of interests for anyone travelling through this area.
    The state of Nevada has wanted a national park for more than sixty years. There have always been the opposite ideas from people who believes that a park would harm(损害)mining and agricultural interests. The bill that set up the park, however, promises that mines will remain open, and mat sheep and cows will continue to feed on the mountainsides.
