26、The Complete Guide to Alberta’s Icefields Parkway

Introduction

The 144-mile Icefields Parkway is one of Canada’s most scenic road trip routes(路线) and is a must for visitors to Alberta. It has dozens of viewpoints where you can see glaciers, waterfalls, lakes, rivers, forests, and valleys. The parkway starts in Jasper National Park, and travels south to near Lake Louise, in Banff National Park. Most travelers will approach the parkway from Jasper National Park, though. The Icefields Parkway is open throughout the year, but most travelers will prefer to drive it in the warmer months.

Stops to Make Along the Way

Athabasca Falls: Around 30 kilometres south of Jasper, the 75-foot waterfalls are not exceptionally high, but they run with a large amount of water, making them some of the most impressive waterfalls in the Canadian Rockies.

Sunwapta Falls: Fed by the Athabasca Glacier, the Sunwapta Falls are divided into the upper and lower sections. The upper waterfalls are easily accessible, but you need to hike a short distance to get to the lower waterfalls. The lower waterfalls are definitely worth the walk if you want to escape the crowds in the summer. Sunwapta Falls are about 34 miles from Jasper.

Where to Get Supplies

If you’re spreading this road trip over more than one day, stock up on snacks in Jasper or Lake Louise and fill up your tank there, too. There are no major towns between Jasper and Lake Louise. In summer, there are a few places to eat and stay along the way, but prices tend to be high because of the lack of competition and the area’s remoteness.

Want to go there to have fun? Please contact us for more information.

28、Global warming does more than just kill plant species-it also changes the way plants grow. Researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) joined forces with the Leibniz Institute for Plant Biochemistry (IPB) to discover the molecular processes of plant growth. In Current Biology, a scientific journal, they presented their findings on high-temperature plant growth. This could lead to developing plants that can survive global warming.

Plants react to even small temperature changes, but they are unable to move to new locations. “When temperatures rise, plants grow taller... to cool themselves off. Their stalks become taller, and their leaves become narrower and grow farther apart. Yet, this makes the plant more unstable overall,” explains Professor Marcel Quint, an agricultural scientist at MLU. Unstable plants bend faster in the rain and produce less food that’s also less nutritious.

There’s still lots to learn about plant reactions to temperatures. “We are just starting to understand how plants detect the changes in temperature...,” Quint says. Earlier studies have shown that the protein PIF4 directly controls plant growth and is also dependent on temperature. When it’s cold, PIF4 is less active, meaning the plant doesn’t grow. At higher temperatures, PIF4 activates growth-promoting genes, and the plant grows taller. This is new information, says Quint.

To understand it, they investigated the growth of thale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana,) seedlings. Normally, its seedlings form short stems at 20℃. These stems become considerably longer at 28℃. They discovered a hormone that activates the PIF4 at high temperatures, thus producing the protein. The findings of the Halle group may help to breed plants that remain stable even at high temperatures and produce many crops.

【1】Why did the researchers at MLU and IPB conduct their research?

A．To study the negative effects of global warming.

B．To find out how plants help reduce global warming.

C．To observe how global warming affects plant growth.

D．To understand the ways that plants cause global warming.

【2】What can we learn from Paragraph 2?

A．Low temperatures have little impact on plants.

B．Plants prefer dry weather to rainy weather.

C．Plants are very sensitive to changes in soil.

D．High temperatures decrease crop production.

【3】What do we know about PIF4?

A．It mainly exists in the cress seedlings.

B．It works differently at different temperatures.

C．It is a kind of gene that controls plant growth.

D．It is a plant hormone that works at high temperatures.

【4】Who will probably benefit most from the findings?

A．Farmers.

B．Botanists.

C．Researchers.

D．Environmentalists.

29、   The following are some of the most unique celebrations from all around the world.

Songkran—Thailand

If you’re in Thailand between April 13th and 15th, get ready for the world’s biggest water fight. The celebration marks the beginning of the Thai New Year, where cleansing with water is meant to purify and renew. In Bangkok or Chang Mai, the water fights can last up to six days. While this is the most popular activity, Songkran is also a time when people visit elders and monks to pay their respects to the New Year.

La Batalla del Vino—Haro, Spain

June 29th is a good day to visit Haro, Spain. Bring a bottle of red wine and prepare to be drenched (湿透) in red wine in the heart of Spain’s grape-growing region. After a church ceremony, a large number of people get gathered for the battle, where white shirts will be made bright purple by the end of the day.

Bay to Breakers—San Francisco, California

Created after the terrible 1906 earthquake as a way of lifting people’s spirits, the race has become one of the region’s most important events. Hosted every year on the third Sunday of May, the race runs approximately 12km through the city. The real highlight, however, is the thousands of people dressed up in a show. Wear whatever you want: Batman suits, purple wigs (假发)...

Koninginnedag—The Netherlands

Although their Queen’s birthday is actually during the winter, she celebrates it on April 30—the country’s official “Queen’s Day” since 1949. Orange is the national color, and the streets become a sea of shining wigs and body paints, as crowds gather in the squares.

31、Directions: Complete the following paragraphs by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once.

Note that there is one word more than you need.

A Bad Idea

Think you can walk, dive, take phone calls, e-mail and listen to music at the same time? Well, New York's new law says you can't. And you'll be 【1】 $S100 if you do it on a New York City street.

The law went into force last month, following research and a(n) 【2】number of accidents that involved people using electronic gadgets when crossing the street.

Who's to【3】 ? Scientists say that our multitasking abilities are limited.

"We are under the impression that our brain can do more than it often can," says Rene Marois, a neuroscientist in Tennessee. “But a major limitation is the inability to【4】on two things at once".

The young people are often considered the great multitaskers. However, an Oxford University research suggests this idea is open to question. A group of 18-to 21-year-olds and a group of 35-to 39-year-olds were given 90 seconds to translate【5】into numbers, using a simple code. The younger group did 10 percent better when not interrupted. But when both groups were interrupted by a phone call or a(n) 【6】message, the older group matched the younger group in speed and 【7】.

It is difficult to measure the productivity【8】by multitaskers. But it is probably a lot. Jonathan Spire, chief analyst at Basex. a business-research firm, estimates the cost of interruptions to the American economy at nearly $650 billion a year.

The【9】is based on surveys with office workers. The surveys conclude that 28 percent of the workers' time was spent on interruptions and【10】time before they returned to their main tasks.

32、概要写作,阅读短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

How much do you know about the English of Canada, the US‟ neighbor to the north? As the accents of people from Canada sound very similar to those of people from the US, it‟d be easy to think that they share the exact same language.

However, Canadian English and US English share as many differences as they do similarities. Founded as a colony （殖民地） of France in the 1500s, Canada later became part of the British Empire, before gaining independence in 1867. Its connection to the former British Empire can be seen in the way it spells certain words. For example, many nouns use “our” endings instead of “or”, such as “colour” or “neighbour”. At the same time, its French influences can be seen through Canadian English words such as “toque”, a word from French used to describe a woolly hat worn in cold weather.

But that‟s not to say that Canadian English has no identity of its own. Many words that are used to describe everyday things by Canadian people may leave English speakers from other countries feeling confused. A “parkade”, for example, means a multi-level parking lot, while “runners” are what Americans would call “sneakers”. “Language is one of the few ways we have left of making statements of local belonging since we now all dress the same, we all watch the same movies,” Charles Boberg, author of The English Language of Canada, told the BBC.
