What is the best place to visit in Canada from March to May? We show you how and when to enjoy the typical Canadian travel adventures.
March: Traverse Ice Roads in the Arctic Circle
Where: Northwest Territories
On the edge of the Arctic Ocean in early March, the temperature in Inuvik remains below zero. Cars and trucks ease their way along the 185 km ice road to Tuktoyaktuk as it’s known to locals. The treeline disappears as you head north, the blue ice solid beneath your wheels. The ice road is open from late December to late April. But March is the best time for the trip because the road is still solid and the weather isn’t as bad.
April: Surf Chilly Waters off Vancouver Island
Where: Vancouver Island, British Columbia
It might surprise you to learn that Tofino, British Columbia has been regarded as one of the best surf towns in North America. While this laid-back rainforest community on Vancouver Island’s west coast doesn’t boast(夸耀) the bronzed bodies of California’s Huntington Beach, Tofino gets big and amazingly consistent waves. Water temperatures hold steady year-round at 10 degrees Celsius along 35 km of coastline. Surfing in April on spacious Long Beach or underrated Cox Bay lets you beat the high-season tourists.
May: See the Canadian Rockies
Where: Throughout British Columbia and Alberta
In mid-May, as the landscape of western Canada emerges from its wintry cover of snow, the world-renowned Rocky Mountaineer train begins operation for the season, running along captivating routes between Vancouver and the Canadian Rockies. It’s one of the world’s best journeys by rail, and the luxury train’s glass-domed cars allow passengers to fully appreciate the mountains, lakes, and rivers scrolling by. The undisputed highlights: Banff, Jasper, and Lake Louise.
1. When can you explore the ice roads in the Arctic Circle?
A. In May. B. In June. C. In January. D. In August.
2. What is special about Tofino for surfers?
A. Its bronzed bodies of beach. B. Its continuous and big waves.
C. The crowded tourists. D. The changeable water temperatures.
3. Which is the best transportation to travel around the Canadian Rockies?
A. By train. B. By car. C. By ship. D. By air.
【答案】1. C2. B3. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要是关于加拿大3月到5月的旅游项目的介绍。
【详解】l. 细节理解题。由March: Traverse Ice Roads in the Arctic Circle部中的“The ice road is open from late December to late April(冰路开放时间是从十二月下旬至四月下旬。)”可知，ice road的开放时间为l2月底至4月底，所以你可以在一月份去探索ice road，故选C。

2. 细节理解题。由April: Surf Chilly Waters off Vancouver Island部中的“Tofino gets big and amazingly consistent waves(Tofino的海浪很大，而且连续不断。)”可知，对于冲浪者而言，Tofino的特别之处在于它连续的大波浪。故选B。
3. 细节理解题。由May: See the Canadian Rockies部分中“It’s one of the world’s best journeys by rail, and the luxury train’s glass-domed cars allow passengers to fully appreciate the mountains, lakes, and rivers scrolling by.(这是世界上最好的铁路旅行之一，豪华列车的玻璃穹顶车厢让乘客充分欣赏山脉，湖泊和河流的滚动。)”可知，坐火车是游览the Canadian Rockies的最佳交通方式，故选A。
B
The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZM Bridge) will connect Hong Kong on the east bank of the Pearl River Delta to Zhuhai and Macao on the west bank, based on the planning of the national highway network. It will provide a significant part of the Pearl River Delta regional transportation loop—being a key new highway transport corridor crossing the Lingdingyang and connecting the east and west banks of the Pearl River.
The Pearl River Delta is seen as a pioneering region for China’s Reform and Opening-up Policy and an economic center of great importance. Taking advantage of the proximity (邻近) of Hong Kong and Macao, the Pearl River Delta plays a leading role and has a significant strategic status in China’s Reform and Opening-up as well as its economic and social development. The development gap between the east and west coasts of the Pearl River has widened during the recent period of rapid development of the Pearl River Delta, with the economic development of the west coast evidently lagging behind that of the east coast. The lack of convenient transportation with Hong Kong is an important reason. Obstructed (阻隔) by the Pearl River, overland transport has to detour through the Humen Bridge, while the transportation by water takes a lot of time and it is vulnerable to weather conditions. The current transport infrastructure (设施) cannot meet the demands of the economic and social development and transportation between the east and west banks of the Pearl River.
To sum up, the construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is both essential and urgent in order to coordinate, fully develop and interlink the national comprehensive transportation expressway network with the networks of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao.
4. What does the underlined word “corridor” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Plan. B. Route. C. Policy. D. Construction.
5. According to paragraph 2. what makes the economic development of the west coast slower?
A. The complex transportation of the Pearl River Delta.
B. Making use of the proximity of Hong Kong and Macao.
C. Being short of convenient transportation with Hong Kong.
D. Not performing the China’s Reform and Opening-up Policy properly.
6. What is the limitation of the transportation by water?
A. It is not convenient to take. B. It takes less passengers at a time.
C. It takes more money and more time. D. It is time-consuming and dependent on weather.
7. What is the text mainly about?
A. The importance of the Pearl River Delta.
B. The fancy design and the function of HZM Bridge.
C. The development of Zhuhai, Hong Kong and Macao.
D. The significance and necessity of the construction of HZM Bridge.
【答案】4B5. C6. D7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。港珠澳大桥的建成通车引起世界瞩目，本文介绍了港珠澳大桥建设的必要性和重要性。
【详解】1. 词句猜测题。由第一段中的“It will provide a significant part of the Pearl River Delta regional transportation loop(它将成为珠江三角洲区域交通循环的重要组成部分)”可知，港珠澳大桥是国家高速公路网规划中珠江三角洲地区环线的组成部分；再由画线单词下文“crossing the Lingdingyang and connecting the east and west banks of the Pearl River(跨越伶仃洋，连接珠江东西两岸)”可知，港珠澳大桥是连接珠江东西两岸新的公路运输通道，由此可以推断出划线单词corridor在句中的意思应为“通道”，与route同义。故选B。

2. 细节理解题。由第二段中的“with the economic development of west coast evidently lagging behind that of the east coast. The lack of convenient transportation with Hong Kong is an important reason(西海岸的经济发展明显落后于东海岸。与香港交通联系不便是一个重要原因)”可知，珠江西岸经济发展明显滞后于东岸，与香港交通联系不便是影响珠江西岸经济发展的重要因素之一，故选C。
3. 细节理解题。由第二段中的“while the transportation by water takes a lot of time and it is vulnerable to weather conditions(而水路运输需要大量的时间，并且容易受到天气条件的影响)”可知，水路交通受天气影响较大且运行时间较长，故选D。
4. 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“To sum up, the construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is both essential and urgent in order to coordinate, fully develop and interlink the national comprehensive transportation expressway network with the networks of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao.(综上所述，港珠澳大桥的建设对于全国综合交通高速公路网与粤港澳网络的协调、充分发展和互联互通，既是必要的，也是紧迫的)”可知，本文主要介绍了港珠澳大桥建设的必要性和重要性，故选D。
C
Before Sydney’s 2000 Olympic Games, Eric Moussambani had never set foot outside of his home country, the tiny nation of Equatorial Guinea where most citizens get by on less than one dollar a day.
Having secured his entry into the Games with the help of a wild card, Moussambani set about teaching himself to swim. He had no coach, no lanes, and no ways of tracking his efforts. The only pool available belonged to a local hotel, and they allowed him to use it between 5 and 6 am, just three times a week. Before Sydney he had never sel eyes on an Olympic pool, let alone swum in one.
When the day came, the underdog captured the hearts of the Australian audience, and although he flagged in the second half of the race, with commentator Adrian Moorhouse remarking that “this guy doesn’t look like he’s going to make it”, he completed the heat with a time of 1 minute 53 seconds.
It was the slowest time in Olympic history, but a personal best.
International media named him “Eric the Eel” and he was hailed(赞扬) as the embodiment of the Olympic ideal that it’s not the winning, but the taking part that counts.
When he was interviewed, still dripping from his exhausting feat, Moussambani remarked, “The first 50 metres was OK, but in the second 50 metres I got a bit worried and thought I wasn’t going to make it. Then something happened. I thought it was all the people getting behind me. I was really, really proud. It’s still a great feeling for me and I loved when everyone applauded me at the end. I felt like I had won a medal or something.”
Moussambani is now the head coach of the Equatorial Guinea swimming squad and thanks to his efforts, the country has since built two 50m swimming pools.
8. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs about Moussambani?
A. He had never been abroad before 2000. B. He was taught to swim by a coach.
C. He practised swimming 3 hours a day. D. He was the best swimmer in Africa.
9. What’s the international media’s attitude towards Moussambani’s performance?
A. Carefree. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Sympathetic.
10. Why did Moussambani feel proud of himself?
A. Because he won an Olympic medal.
B. Because he was praised by his family.
C. Because he did his best in the Olympic Games.
D. Because he was interviewed by a famous reporter.
11. What is Moussambani’s present contribution?
A. He has built 2 swimming pools. B. He has taught more learners to swim.
C. He has built some schools. D. He has organized many swimming competitions.
【答案】8. A9. C10. C11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。本文介绍了来自非洲小国赤道几内亚的运动员Eric Moussambani参加2000年悉尼奥运会的励志故事。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Before Sydney’s 2000 Olympic Games, Eric Moussambani had never set foot outside of his home country, the tiny nation of Equatorial Guinea where most citizens get by on less than one dollar a day.”（在2000年悉尼奥运会之前，埃里克•穆森巴尼从未离开过他的祖国——赤道几内亚这个小国，那里的大多数公民每天的生活费不到一美元。）可知，2O00年悉尼奥运会前，埃里克•穆森巴尼从未离开过自己的祖国，故选A项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“International media named him “Eric the Eel” and he was hailed as the embodiment of the Olympic ideal that it’s not the winning, but the taking part that counts.”（国际媒体称他为“鳗鱼埃里克”，并称赞他是奥林匹克理想的化身，即重要的不是获胜，而是参与。）可知，国际媒体赞扬了他重在参与的精神，故可推知，国际媒体对穆森巴尼的表现是给与积极的态度。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“It was the slowest time in Olympic history, but a personal best.”（这是奥运历史上最慢的成绩，但却是个人最好成绩。）以及第六段中“I was really, really proud. It’s still a great feeling for me and I loved when everyone applauded me at the end. I felt like I had won a medal or something.””（我真的非常骄傲。这对我来说仍然是一种很棒的感觉，我喜欢在最后每个人都为我鼓掌的感觉。我觉得我好像赢得了奖牌之类的东西。”）可知，可知，他在奥运会中创造了自己的个人最佳成绩，所以穆桑巴尼对自己感到自豪是因为他在奥运会上尽了最大的努力。故选C项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Moussambani is now the head coach of the Equatorial Guinea swimming squad and thanks to his efforts, the country has since built two 50m swimming pools.”（穆森巴尼现在是赤道几内亚游泳队的主教练，在他的努力下，赤道几内亚已经建造了两个50米的游泳池。）可知，穆森巴尼目前已经教会了更多的学习者游泳。故选B项。
D
Wherever we go, we are surrounded by history. Across the globe, cultural heritage is passed down through generations. We tend to think of our cultural heritage as somehow set in stone, permanent and indestructible. Yet we fight a never ending and very expensive battle to preserve it for the future. And today, it is under attack as never before. Not only are the ravages of time threatening our cultural heritage, but conflicts, harmful events, climate change, globalisation and tourism are all exacting a heavy price. Technology is often seen as something that destroys the past — but ironically, it is now the most essential weapon in the battle.
Airborne technology is being increasingly used in the fight to preserve our cultural heritage. Not only is it being used to save it, but it is also being used to find it. LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a remote sensing technology which measures distances by hitting a target from above with a laser and analysing the reflected light. It generates hyper-accurate 3D data about the surface area it targets and the natural and man-made environments that exist there.
Virtual reality(VR) technology will play a leading role in preserving our cultural heritage in the coming years. Many of the most important sites and architecture are extremely fragile. Human interaction with these locations is doing a great deal of harm. Machu Picchu in Peru was only discovered in 1911, yet it is already being destroyed by the presence of hundreds of thousands of tourists who visit annually. As more cultural heritage sites and objects are digitally mapped and recorded, VR technology will increasingly become the way that people experience them. We’ll all eventually be able to walk through places, look at (and touch) artifacts and works of art without ever seeing them with our own eyes.
Ultimately, our cultural heritage will be preserved via technology. Efforts in research, innovation, data sharing and project work will need to be pooled internationally.
12. What can we infer about cultural heritage from paragraph 1?
A. It will last forever. B. It is faced with a huge threat today.
C. It is destroyed by modem technology. D. It is a key factor in developing technology.
13. According to paragraph 2, what is the function of Airborne technology?
A. To measure distances. B. To generate accurate data.
C. To make the architecture fragile. D. To save and discover cultural heritage.
14. What makes the destruction of the Machu Picchu?
A. Too much tourism. B. Virtual reality.
C. Poor quality of construction. D. The climate change.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The Advantages of Modern Technology B. How Technology Is Serving as a Weapon
C. How Cultural Heritage Is Affecting Our Life D. How Technology Is Preserving Our Cultural Heritage
【答案】12. B13. D14. A15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了现代科技如何保护我们的文化遗产。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“We tend to think of our cultural heritage as somehow set in stone, permanent and indestructible. Yet we fight a never ending and very expensive battle to preserve it for the future. And today, it is under attack as never before.(我们倾向于认为我们的文化遗产是固定在石头上的，永久的，不可摧毁的。然而，为了保护它的未来，我们正在进行一场无休无止、代价高昂的战斗。今天，它受到了前所未有的攻击)”可知，文化遗产正面临着巨大的威胁。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Airborne technology is being increasingly used in the fight to preserve our cultural heritage. Not only is it being used to save it, but it is also being used to find it.(空中技术越来越多地用于保护我们的文化遗产。它不仅被用来拯救它，也被用来寻找它)”可知，空中技术的作用是保护和搜寻文化遗产。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Machu Picchu in Peru was only discovered in 1911, yet it is already being destroyed by the presence of hundreds of thousands of tourists who visit annually.(秘鲁的马丘比丘在1911年才被发现，然而它已经被每年成千上万的游客破坏了)”可知，马丘比丘已经被每年成千上万的游客破坏了。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其第一段中“Technology is often seen as something that destroys the past — but ironically, it is now the most essential weapon in the battle.(科技常常被视为摧毁过去的东西——但具有讽刺意味的是，它现在却是这场战争中最重要的武器)”结合本文介绍了现代科技如何保护我们的文化遗产，故D选项“科技如何保护我们的文化遗产”最符合文章标题。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人类历史有几个共同的主题之一——文字，以及印刷技术的发展史。
【36题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意：人类从公元前3000年就开始印刷和书写了——古埃及人和中国人使用的邮票与今天的邮票不同。根据句意以及从句中的were可知时态为一般过去时。故填used。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意：直到中国学者蔡伦据称在公元105年发明了第一张纸，几千年后才出现了纸，但人类在这个阶段就已经痴迷于印刷术了。结合句意表达“第一”应用the first。故填the。
【38题详解】
考查代词。句意：到了12世纪，欧洲开始制造自己的纸张，到了13世纪，青铜字体出现了。修饰后面的名词短语应用形容词性物主代词its。故填its。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意：在公元1397年的时候，书籍肯定是用这些早期的印刷机印刷的。此处修饰后面的动词，用副词形式。故填definitely。
【40题详解】
考查名词复数形式。句意：印刷技术不仅仅集中在文字上，图像也通过木刻印刷出来。根据be动词were判断主语应为复数形式。故填techniques。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句连接词。句意：木刻是把场景刻在一块木头上，然后在上面涂上墨水，再涂在要印刷的材料上。分析句子可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词wood在从句中作主语成分，应用关系代词which引导该从句。故填which。
【42题详解】
考查形容词的比较级。句意：在15世纪的欧洲，木刻比印刷术更先进，因为印刷术很昂贵，而且大多数书仍然是手写的。根据than得知此处用比较级，advanced的比较级是在其前面加more。故填more advanced。
【43题详解】
考查动词。句意：在15世纪的欧洲，木刻比印刷术更先进，因为印刷术很昂贵，而且大多数书仍然是手写的。主语printing为第三人称单数，根据前后语境判断时态为一般过去时，故填was。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意：直到1837年，彩色印刷才开始像我们今天看到的那样，第一次出现了全彩色广告。根据句意可知，此处为not until“直到……才”，直到1837年，彩色印刷才开始像我们今天看到的那样。故填until。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：胶印技术于1904年问世，至今仍广泛用于印刷报纸和杂志。此处应用动名词形式作介词for的宾语。故填printing。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a very cold morning as it had been raining very heavily the previous night. As my mother was feeling a little under the weather, my sister volunteered to drive me to school. I had overslept and as a result, was running a bit late for school. We got into the car hurriedly. The road was already crowded with traffic. It appeared that everyone was late as well.
My sister was a careful driver and despite the fact that I was already late, she refused to drive fast on the slippery road. I was lucky she was such a resolute and careful person because a few hundred meters away from the school, we witnessed a tragic accident. It all happened very quickly, as most accidents do. A car full of school children had made a left turning without signaling and as a result, a school bus crashed into it. A few cars behind the school bus rammed into the bus as they could not brake in time and soon it became a pile-up. The already crowded road became jammed with vehicles that came to a crawl. I told my sister that I wanted to help the victims and she nodded silently. She stopped the car not too far from the accident spot.
The scene that greeted us was something I would never forget. It left an unforgettable memory in my mind to date. The impact of the accident had made the school children seriously injured in the car. The driver, a lady, lay on the steering wheel. I rushed to the children who were preschoolers. Two of them were seriously hurt and bleeding from the heads and hands. They were conscious although too weak to realize what had happened. In the meantime, passers-by had called the ambulance and while waiting we tried as best as possible to help the victims.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
The passengers on the school bus were injured too. I dashed into the bus and saw the driver who had injuries on the head. While my sister helped him get off the bus, I told the injured school children to stay calm. Most of them appeared to suffer from minor cuts and bruises on their arms and bodies. It was really fortunate that nobody was badly hurt. By then a few adults had entered the bus and together we instructed the children to come out of the bus slowly. The children were crying and screaming for their parents and we had to hug them to keep them quiet. I felt a a great sense of sadness.Meanwhile, two ambulances had arrived. Then the injured were sent to hospital.
When I arrived at school, I was already late for half an hour. In fact, many drivers were also late for their work. I informed my teacher of the accident and described in detail what had happened. The teacher praised me for what I had done and encouraged my classmates to learn from my courage to help others.I was so happy. Finally, I promised the teacher that I would not be late again and stressed the importance of careful driving to my classmates.
