三、阅读理解

Canadians are blessed with an abundance of natural wonders with enough lakes,mountains and rivers to explore for a lifetime.We’ve also got some of the most shocking waterfalls on Earth.

PissingMareFalls—GrosMorneNationalPark,NewfoundlandandLabrador

Pissing Mare Falls may have a funny sounding name but they’re no joke:in fact,they’re one of the highest waterfalls in Canada.Located in the beautiful Gros Morne National Park,the falls are only accessible by boat tour.

TakakkawFalls—YohoNationalPark,BritishColumbia

Takakkaw translated from Cree loosely means the “magnificent”,and it’s a suitable word for the second-highest waterfalls in Canada.After a steep drive up a winding road,these falls are only a short hike from the parking lot along a wheelchair accessible path.

NiagaraFalls—NiagaraFalls,Ontario

Niagara Falls are the most famous waterfalls in Canada.Actually they are made up of three different falls—the Horseshoe Falls,the most powerful in North America,are the only one located on the Canadian side.Melting glaciers (冰川) formed the falls thousands of years ago and the beautiful green colour is due to dissolved salt and finely ground (磨细的) rock.

BridalVeilFalls—BridalVeilFallsProvincialPark,BritishColumbia

Pretty and delicate,the Bridal Veil Falls are located just east of Chilliwack,British Columbia,and really do look like a bride with a beautiful veil (面纱),with water gently pouring over smooth rock.An easy 15-minute walk to the falls takes you through rich leaves.Picnic tables are available,and there are lots of opportunities for viewing wildlife along the way.

1.Where are Pissing Mare Falls?

A.Near British Columbia.

B.In a beautiful small park.

C.On the highest mountain in Canada.

D.Between Newfoundland and Labrador.

答案:B

解析:细节理解题。根据PissingMareFalls—GrosMorneNationalPark,NewfoundlandandLabrador部分中的“LocatedinthebeautifulGrosMorneNationalPark,thefallsareonlyaccessiblebyboattour.”可知,PissingMare瀑布位于美丽的GrosMorne国家公园,只有乘船游览才能到达。由此推知PissingMare瀑布在一个美丽的小公园里。故选B项。

B.Itoriginatedfromseveralrivers.

C.Itwasformedbythemeltingglaciers.

D.Itwasmadebydissolvedsaltandfinelygroundrock.

解析:细节理解题。根据NiagaraFalls—NiagaraFalls,Ontario部分中的“Meltingglaciersformedthefallsthousandsofyearsagoandthebeautifulgreencolourisduetodissolvedsaltandfinelygroundrock.”可知,融化的冰川在几千年前形成了瀑布,美丽的绿色是由于溶解的盐和磨细的岩石。由此推知,尼亚加拉瀑布是由融化的冰川形成的。故选C项。

Howtoprotectyourprivacywhenyoutravel

It hasn’t been an easy year for the privacy of travellers,at least so far.Data leaks,surveillance(监视) worries and those troublesome cameras in airplane seatbacks and hotel rooms are enough to make passengers anxious.　1　 Fortunately,there are ways to safeguard your privacy on land and in the air.These tips can help you deal with these troubles. 

　2　“It’s not clever to declare on Internet that you’re travelling to somewhere,reminding a wide range of people that your property is sitting empty,”says Danny McLoughlin.“That puts your security at risk.”Wait until you return to start posting vacation photos. 

Some homeowners renting their residences may install security cameras.Travellers should find out if the hosts are required to disclose the presence of surveillance devices.If the rental comes with cameras,ensure they aren’t in a sensitive area by conducting a careful sweep.　3　 

Although you can’t control how a hotel or airline handles—or mishandles—your data,you can take reasonable steps to ensure the information it has won’t get you into trouble.　4　 But some of the worst data leaks happen when you’re staying at a hotel.For example,a hotel clerk sometimes asks for your name and then announces your room number after you’ve checked in.You’re better off handing the employee your ID when he or she asks for your name and asking him/her to write your room number on a piece of paper.Why?　5　 Just to be sure,never leave the customer copy behind.You can destroy it later,but keep it under your control. 

A.It’s never been better.

B.Perhaps they should be.

C.Travellers say they’re taking privacy seriously.

D.Never broadcast your journey on social media.

E.There are other people on the other side of the wall.

F.Some travellers only offer the bare minimum,such as a P.O.box instead of a home address.

G.Report anything doubtful to the host immediately—and if you don’t like what you hear,leave.

答案:1~5 BDGFE
