for a surprising view of the valley below. here is the pines, whose cook has developed a special way of mixing foreign food such as caribou, wild boar, and reindeer with surprising sauces.best time to visit is during the off-season, from early may to mid-june, or in october. this way you can avoid sharing the high way with mobile homes which can be pulled by cars. but whatever the season, take some lunch with you from banff, because there are only a few food stops on the road.forty minutes north of banff, side by side with the banff national park, sits world-famous lake louise. this surprisingly small body of water is attractive with towering mountains around it. glaciers, huge masses of ice, moving very slowly against rocks, produce what is called glacier rock flour, making its water dark to see. it is worth taking a walk around the grounds of the chateau lake louise, another beauty, proud of its early 20th century history.back on the road, and its time to continue north past the astonishing columbia icefield, then turn off the highway and take the short road to the base of the athabaska glacier. you can rent ice cleats (夹板) and do some climbing or do a more pleasant snowmobile tour. either way, you can enjoy endless beautiful sights.finally youll reach jasper, the usual turning around the place for the banff-jasper loop (回路). its worth riding the jasper skytram, and be sure to visit the wonderful jasper park lodge, also dating back to the 1920s. if you can have lunch there, do it. the restaurant has an adventurous menu and their wine list would put a smile on any visitors face.1. according to the passage, the pines is a _.a. place in which you can see many mobile homesb. mountain where you can get a good view of the valleyc. town which happens to be near

14、阅读理解-(b)for several years, scientists have been testing a substance called interferon(干扰素), a possible wonder drug that is proving to be effective in treating a variety of diseases, including virus infections, bacterial infections, and cancers. to date, the new drug has no side effect of great influence to discourage its use. but in spite of its success, last year only one gram was produced in the entire world.the reason for the shortage lies in the structure of interferon. a special protein, the interferon produced from one animal species cannot be used in treating another animal species. in other words, to treat human beings, only interferon produced by human beings may be used. the drug is produced by infecting white blood cells with a virus. fortunately, it is so effective that the amount given to each patient each time is very small.unlike antibiotics (抗生素), interferon does not attack germs directly. instead, it protects healthy cells from being infected, and prevents the reproduction of viruses within cells.as you might conclude, one of the most special uses of interferon has been in the treatment of cancer. dr. hans strander, a research physician at swedens famous karolinska institute, has treated more than one hundred cancer patients with the new drug. among a group of selected patients who had received operations for advanced cancer, half were given traditional treatments and the other half were given interferon. among those treated with interferon 70 percent of them remained alive over three years, as compared with only 10 to 30 percent among those who had received the traditional treatments.in the united states, a large-scale project supported by the american cancer society is now under way. if the experiment were successful, interferon could become one of the greatest medical discoveries of our time.5.what is the difference between antibiotics and interferon?a. interferon has serious side effects, while antibiotics do not.b. antibiotics kill germs by attacking them directly, while interferon does not.c. antibiotics are very effective, while the effect of interferon is limited.d. they are different in structure, although they are both proteins.6. according to the passage, if 170 cancer patients received interferon treatment, how many of them would remain alive over three years?a. about 30.b. about 50.c. about 120.d. about 70.7. the passage tells us that _.a. it is difficult to produce interferon in large quantities because of its special structure.b. interferon is produced widely in lots of countries.c. few of the patients who had received traditional treatments remained alive.d. most of the patients who received interferon also needed traditional treatments.57、阅读理解-dthere are some very good things about open education. this way of teaching allows the students to grow as people, and to develop their own interests in many subjects. open education allows students to be responsible for their own education, as they are responsible for what they do in life. some students do badly in a traditional classroom. the open classroom may allow them to enjoy learning. some students will be happier in an

open education. teachers who want to have an open classroom may have many problems at their schools.you now know what open education is. some of its good points and bad points have been explained. you may have your own opinion about open education. the writer thinks that open education is a good idea, but only in theory. in actual fact, it may not work very well in a real class or school. the
