A special treat is to go up the mountainside on the Banff Gondola 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 the Banff National parkD. restaurant where you can ask for some special kinds of food2. What will probably happen when visitors come at the end of June?A. They may have trouble finding a restaurant.B. They may come across traffic jams.C. They may travel more easily with cars.D. They may do much more sightseeing.3. Similar to the Chateau Lake Louise, _.A. the Banff National Park is to the west of BanffB. the Columbia Icefield lies between Lake Louise and the Banff National ParkC. the Jasper Skytram has a history of more than 80 yearsD. the Jasper Park Lodge was built in the 1920s4. Besides the beautiful sights in Jasper Park Lodge, visitors to Jasper can enjoy themselves by _.A. taking the Jasper Skytram and eating in the restaurantB. taking the Banff-Jasper loop and Jasper Skytram 14、阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。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。Getting into the CityFrom John F.

Some of them refuse to admit the serious threat of human activities to the environment, and they are tired of people who disagree with them. Those people, say skeptics, spread nothing but bad news about the environment. The “eco-guilt” brought on by the discouraging news about our planet gives rise to the popularity of skeptics as people search for more comforting worldviews. Perhaps that explains why a new book by Bjorn Lomborg received so much publicity. That book, The Skeptical Environmentalist, declares that it measures the “real state of the world” as fine. Of course, another explanation is the deep pockets of some big businesses with special interests. Indeed, Mr. Lomborgs views are similar to those of some industry-funded organizations, which start huge activities through the media to confuse the public about issues like global warming. So it was strange to see Mr. Lomborgs book go largely unchallenged in the media though his beliefs were contrary to most scientific opinions. One national newspaper in Canada ran a number of articles and reviews full of words of praise, even with the conclusion that “After Lomborg, the environmental movement will begin to die down.”Such one-sided views should have immediately been challenged. But only a different review appeared in Nature, a respected science magazine with specific readership. The review remarked that Mr. Lomborgs “preference for unexamined materials is incredible (不可信的)”. A critical (批判的) eye is valuable, and the media should present information in such a way that could allow people to make informed decisions. Unfortunately, that is often inaccessible as blocked by the desire to be shocking or to defend some
