    Canada is a land filled with fascinating places and amazing adventures. The only problem: Narrowing down your choice of destinations. Here are several of the best places to visit in Canada for any traveler determined to discover the true north.

Churchill, Manitoba

Set on the shores of Hudson Bay, this subarctic(靠近北极的)town has earned international fame as the polar bear capital of the world. So plentiful are the bears that the town actually has a polar bear prison,” which holds bears that are resistant to people's instruction and wander into town until they can be released back into the wild. Encountering a polar bear in the wild is no doubt an unforgettable experience.

Banff and Lake Louise, Alberta

Set inside the borders of the vast Banff National Park, Banff and Lake Louise is one of the best places to visit in Canada. Here you'll find a Rocky Mountain wonderland; a place of electric blue glacial lakes, waterfalls, and abundant wildlife (from elk to bighorn sheep). Stay either in Banff, the busy center of the area and home to classic hotels like the Fairmont Banff Springs (one of Canada's greatest hotels), or hike trails up into the mountains—and unparalleled(无与伦比的)silence-are just steps away.

Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick

Recently shortlisted in a massive international competition to name a new seven wonders of the natural world, the tides on this big bay, make it truly one of the best places to visit in Canada. The most extreme tides on earth, they rise and fall more than 50 feet in some places. These can be seen most dramatically at a place like Hopewell Rocks, unique stone formations that, at low tide, form towers on dry land but become islands as the water rises.

Quebec City

The oldest walled city in North America, Quebec City holds both British charm and culture alongside its unmistakable French-Canadian character. It also bears the distinction of being the place where, as every good Canadian history student knows, Wolfe defeated Montcalm on the Plains of Abraham, securing Canada for the British Empire.

1.Why are the polar bears put into prison in Churchill?

A.Because there are a large number of bears.

B.Because the government wants to attract more tourists.

C.Because they don't follow people's guidance.

D.Because they resist living in town.

2.What can we learn from the passage?

A.When traveling in Canada, people have narrow choices of destinations.

B.You can enjoy neither busy life nor unparalleled silence in Banff and Lake Louise.

C.Hopewell Rocks stand like islands on dry land but turn into towers when the tide comes.

D.Britain and France once had a war to secure their own rule over Canada in Quebec City.

3.The author writes the text with the intention of        .

A.showing the most worth-visiting country B.helping tourism boost in Canada

C.providing information for travelers to Canada D.proving how knowledgeable the author is

 

1.C 2.D 3.C 【解析】 这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了加拿大的一些最好的旅游目的地。 1.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“So plentiful are the bears that the town actually has a “polar bear prison,” which holds bears that are resistant to people's instruction…”可知,当那些熊不听人们指令的时候它们就会被关进监狱。故选C。 2.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“… Quebec City holds both British charm and culture alongside its unmistakable French-Canadian character. It also bears the distinction of being the place where, as every good Canadian history student knows, Wolfe defeated Montcalm on the Plains of Abraham, securing Canada for the British Empire”可知,魁北克城既有英国的魅力和文化,又有明显的法加特色。在魁北克,乌尔夫在亚伯拉罕平原击败了蒙特卡姆,为大英帝国保住了加拿大。由此推知,英国和法国曾经为了在魁北克市建立自己对加拿大的统治而进行了一场战争。故选D。 3.推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Canada is a land filled with fascinating places and amazing adventures. Here are several of the best places to visit in Canada for any traveler determined to discover the true north”和下面对几个城市的介绍可知,文章中介绍了加拿大的一些最好的旅游目的地。由此判断出作者写这篇文章的目的是为到加拿大旅游的人提供信息。故选C。

    The Internet, as we know, is probably one of the greatest inventions of human history. Never before has the access to the collection of the world’s knowledge ever been more available. 1. Some people look to make use of the information you are providing to the Internet. Everything you do online leaves a small footprint.

There are a couple of steps you can take to make your adventures online a little safer and more secure. Let’s take a look at them.

Cover your tracks.

Whenever you visit a website, a small file is marked in your browser(浏览器), which is called a “cookie”. 2. This enables the webserver to know if you have been there before and it can tailor the presentation to your personal tastes. They are also how Facebook knows to serve you ads based on stuff you looked at on Amazon.

So what’s the harm in the cookie? Well, hackers can use the information stored in your cookies to edit a browsing history or with less secure cookies, take your passwords for some sites. If you want to protect yourself from your information being available to sites then you can turn off the generation of cookies in your browser. 3.

4.

The major browsers, Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari are all built to be secure from snooping(窥探), but the people who write the code for the browsers are human and they make mistakes.   5. These are usually addressed very quickly, but it is important that you make sure your browser is up to date. Just like your operating system, new security patches are being applied all the time, you need to make sure you have them. Turning on automatic updates is something I highly recommend.

A.Use the latest browsers.

B.Change browsers frequently.

C.This will help protect you online.

D.That’s how the cookie works on our computer.

E.This great invention and resource is not without its dangers.

F.It is common for a security problem to pop up with a browser.

G.These cookies store information about who you are and what you looked at.
