Four Truly Unique Canadian Camping Experiences
Mount Robson Provincial Park,British Columbia
Named after the highest mountain in the Canadian Rockies, this park gives you breathtaking views of mountain landscapes along with lakes, waterfalls, canyons, and caves. The Berg Lake campground is located right at the northern base of the 3, 954-meter peak (山巅), which is about a day's hike in.
Fundy National Park,New Brunswick
If you've grown tired of the tent or RV, this park is one of the few national parks offering yurt (蒙古包) rentals. Make sure you visit theBay of Fundywhere the world's highest tides make for some great surfing. You also can't miss the amazing Acadian forest waterfall. If you're looking for even more entertainment, the park also hostsmusic and cultural festivals each summer and has its own golf course.
KluaneNational Parkand ReserveYukon
From May to September, theKathleenLakecampground sees visitors come from far and wide to camp, hike and fish. Mountaineering is especially popular as Kluane is home to 17 of Canada's 20 highest peaks. Flightseeing over the park's glaciers and rafting (漂流) the winding Alsek River will also keep you out enjoying the wilderness.
Prince Edward Island National Park,Prince Edward Island
If you're looking for a family-friendly park, this one is wonderful. Between the seven beaches and more than 50 kilometersof hiking and cycling trails, you'll certainly be kept busy. Literature lovers, you can see what inspired L.M. Montgomery'sAnne of Green Gables at the nearby Green Gables Heritage Place and even explore the original house.

Concrete is the world's most consumed material after water. Because it already surrounds us in the built environment, researchers have been exploring the idea of using concrete to store electricity—turning buildings into giant batteries. The idea has been gaining ground as we have come to increasingly rely on renewable energy from the wind and sun: rechargeable batteries are necessary when the breeze dies down or darkness falls.
Experimental concrete batteries have only managed to hold a small part of what a traditional battery does. But one team now reports in Buildings that it has developed a rechargeable original model that could represent a more than 900 percent increase in stored charge, compared with earlier attempts.
A live-in concrete battery might sound unlikely. Still, \"you can make a battery out of a potato,\" notes Aimee Byrne. In a future where sustainability is key, she likes the idea of buildings that avoid waste by providing shelter and powering electronics.
Although the new design stores more than 10 times as much power as earlier attempts, it still has a long way to go: 200 square meters of it \"can provide about 8 percent of the daily electricity consumption\" of a typical U.S. home, Zhang says.
This is not enough to compete with today's rechargeable devices. \"We're getting milliamps (毫安) out of concrete batteries—we're not getting amps (安培), \"Byrne says.\" We're getting hours as opposed to days of charge.\" But she adds that\" concrete batteries are completely in their childhood, compared to other battery designs.\" The earliest batteries were simple andbulky. Researchers experimented with new materials and designs for more than a century to develop today's small devices. Byrne suggests concrete-based energy storage could undergo a similar evolution. \"The whole idea is that we're looking far into the future,\" she says. \"We're playing the long game with it.\"
4. What can we learn about the concrete batteries?
A. They become increasingly renewable. B. They are the most consumed batteries.
C. They are being developed by researchers. D. They will replace energy from the wind and sun. 5. Why does Byrne mention a battery out of a potato?
A. To show it is easy to build concrete batteries. B. To argue it is possible to develop concrete batteries.
C. To make her statement more interesting. D. To call on people to protect the environment. 6. What does the underlined word \"bulky\" in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Heavy B. Cheap C. Efficient D. Small. 7. What doesByrne think of concrete batteries?
A. They beat today's rechargeable devices. B. They are simple and bulky. C. They have a doubtful future. D. They have a long way to go.

There are three of us in the laboratory: Jules, me and Dr. Leonards. Leonards asks me to sit in front of Jules. As I do, he looks me in the eye and starts to move his face through a series of emotions-happy, confused, surprised, glaring. I'm attracted by his display, feeling delight when hegrinsand feeling serious when his eyes narrow angrily. None of this would be a surprise, of course, if Jules were a human. But he's a robot head on a table.
The most special thing is that, consciously(有意识地), there's no mistaking Jules for a real person. Although he has surprisingly realistic skin, his eyes don't fit firmly against his lids, and he has a terrible hairpiece. Yet, as I walk into the room, I experience a complex worry of feeling in his direction. It's not at all like entering an empty space. It's a bit awkward for Jules’ shining false hair. Some unconscious part of me is responding to him as if he's real. This matters, because if we're to one day live comfortably along with robots , an understanding of how we instinctively(本能地) react to them is significant. The study of these issues is the frontier of a new scientific research; human-robot interaction.
Jules was built as part of an attempt to understand the emotions that can be communicated by a human. “All the robots we'vebuilt so far don't have that rich emotions. We wanted to build a robotic face, with small motors that mimic(模仿) all the muscles you have, so we could discover what it could express. \"Such research is becoming increasingly important, says Dr. Leonards, partly because our rapidly ageing population will soon need the help of robots with which they can effortlessly interact. 8. What does the author think of Jules?
A. He ignored him in his place. B. He didn't treat him as only a robot. C. He was afraid of his being there. D. He mistook him for a real person. 9. What is the purpose to build such a robot?
A. To help humans of old ages. B. To carry out a scientific research. C. To take the place of human labour. D. To make an interaction with human. 10. What doesthe underlined word “grins” mean in Paragraph1?
A. Smiles. B. Shakes. C. Worries. D. Cries. 11. What may be the best title for the text?
A. Human And Robot B. Success Of Making A Robot
C. Robot Will Replace Man D. Difference Between Man And Robot

I was at the hardware store the other day and overheard a woman tell Ed., the manager, that fall was her favorite time of year. Ed., because he liked to keep his customers happy, agreed that fall was a wonderful season, but I could tell he was lying.
I was going through my mind recently, trying to find sweet memories of fall. I failed. I met my wife in the summer and married her two summers later. My sons were born in the winter and summer, my granddaughter in the winter. I’ve been fried twice in my life, both in fall. One October, a truck carrying tofu ran a red light and hit me, destroying my favorite car, combining the three things I most hate - trucks, tofu and October.
I'm not saying fall is without its attractions. The leavesare beautiful. But fall's vacillation (立场摇摆)is troubling, its effort (努力)to please everyone, its continuous search for the middle ground to be all things to all people. Say what you will about summer and winter, at least they have the courage to keep their opinions strong, even if they kill us with extreme heat or cold.
I recently read a story of a man coming out of a three-month coma (昏迷). It started in early fall and ended just as winter came. I hope if I were ever in a coma I would be just as lucky as the man.
Upon my awakening, one of my families who stood around my bed would ask. \"Don't you remember anything from the past three months?\"
\"Not the first thing,\" I would happily report.
If I ever have enough money. I'm going to buy a second home inAustralia, so that when fall starts here, I can move there for three months, just when spring is starting.
12. What did Ed think of the customers words according to the author? A. Ed understood them and supported the customer completely. B. Ed might hold a different opinion on the topic. C. Ed believed the customer wasn't telling the truth. D. Ed thought they stood for most peoples' opinion. 13. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A.The author has a big and loving family. B. The author is having a hard time at work. C. It is important to follow the rules of the road. D. Nothing good has happened to the author in fall.
14. Why does the author say the man in Paragraph 4 was lucky? A. Because he slept fall away.
B. Because he ho sweet memories of fall. C. Because hedreamed of fill many times.
D. Because he was met by his family when waking up. 15. Which of the following does the author most want to do? A. Drivetracks. B. Eat tofu dishes.
C. Watch leaves falling in fall. D. Move toAustraliain October. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

I once was a student with poor grades. The low grades gradual decreased my interest of learning. I felt ashamed and disappointing all the time and didn't know what to do with our life. One day, a teacher comes up to me and encouraged me with so persuasive words that I determined to work hard again. Since then, my grades have never dropped below a B, and I've found again the fun in learning and become confident than before. After this experience, I have been decided that though there was one thing I could do to make the world a better place, it would be to help others see the wonder in studying. I would, if possible, be a math tutor for my classmate and help them with their homework. 第二节书面表达（满分25分）
52.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Pushing Back School Starting Times
It's January. The outdoor temperature has fallen below 5C in the morning. Have you ever complained that you still have to get up at 6 a. m. and arrive at school before 7 am? Do you wish you could have a long nice lie-in?
You are not alone if your answer is \"Yes!\" In the United States, many high school students are unhappy with their school starting times, too.
That may soon change. Last October, Gavin Newsom, California's governor, signed a law that sets a limit on starting times of half-past eight for high-schoolers and eight o'clock for middle schoolers, hoping students will benefit form their extra time in bed.
Sleep deprivation is associated with problems in attention, behavior and learning. A research review by the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(C.D.C.)finds that later school starting times can lead to less falling asleep in class. The change can also help improve students' attendance and grades.
Many parents, however, are strongly opposed to such changes. Those who cannot start work later say they won't be able to drop their children off at school before they go to work. They also fear that later starting times will mean later ending times, resulting in fewer opportunities for their children to take part in after-school
activities, hold part-time jobs and care for younger siblings.
Supporters argue that there really is no significant reason not to do this. Anthony Portantino, the California senator who introduced the law, believes evidence of the change's benefits will soon win over opponents. He says, \"I only see an overwhelming resistance to the change from adults—something many teenagers will be familiar with.\"
