A
Canadians are blessed with an abundance of natural wonders with enough lakes, mountain s and rivers to explore for a lifetime. We’ve also got some of the most amazing waterfalls on Earth.
Horseshoe Falls Niagara Falls, Ontario
Niagara Falls are the most famous waterfalls in Canada —and understandably so. Actually they are made up of three different falls, and the fittingly named Horseshoe Falls is the only one located on the Canadian side, which is the most powerful in North America. Multiple viewing options are available including tourist ships and sightseeing buses.
Nailicho (Nirginia Falls) Nahanni National Park Reserve Northwest Territories
Coming in at twice the height of Niagara Falls, this massive waterfall is located on the South Nahanni River in the Northwest Territories. The remote location means it receives only about 1,000 visitors per year who must make their way by either boat or floatplane.
Takakkaw Falls—Yoho National Park, British Columbia
Takakkaw translated from Cree loosely means “the magnificent”, and it’s a suitable word for the second-highest waterfall in Canada. After a steep drive up a winding road, Takakkaw Falls is only a short distance from the parking lot along a wheelchair accessible path.
Bridal Veil Falls—Bridal Veil Falls Provincial Park, British Columbia
Pretty and delicate, Bridal Veil Falls is located just east of Chilliwack, British Columbia, and really does look like its name, with water gently pouring over smooth rock. An easy 15-minute walk to the waterfall takes you through rich leaves. Tables are available to have a meal outdoors, and there are lots of opportunities for viewing wildlife along the way.
21. What do we know about Horseshoe Falls
A. It is easily accessible. B. It has different choices for viewing.
C. It limits tourist numbers. D. It crosses North America.
22. What can visitors do in Bridal Veil Falls
A. Swim. B. Camp.
C Picnic. D. Hunt.
23. How can visitors go to Takakkaw Falls
A. By car. B. By tourist ship.
C. By floatplane. D. By cable car.
B
The showers couldn’t cloud high spirits at the Washington State School for the Blind’s annual track meet on Thursday in Vancouver, where more than a hundred students with visual impairments (损伤) competed in the running, jumping, throwing and more.
“This event allows students to participate with their equals,” said Jennifer Butcher, who’s worked as a fitness instructor at the school for 23 years. “A lot of times they can only compete against sighted students, so this gives them the opportunity to have a level playing field.”
On a typical track, lanes are divided by white lines painted onto the ground: a design that doesn’t account for those who are blind or visually impaired. The track at the Washington State School for the Blind features a built-in metal guide rail along the inside lane, as well as thin guide wires to separate lanes. As competitors launch from their starting spots, they’re able to alongside the guide wires, holding out their hands to help guide themselves along.
“I thought I did really well; the wires gave me confidence,” said Ryker Register, who had dominated his 50-meter heat just moments ago. Since he began to go blind at age 6, he’s been participating in similar running events on smaller scales. “It’s really cool seeing so many other blind people. This is more like a real track meet. It was cool hearing them announce my name,” he said, pointing to the nearby stand where announcers were stationed, playing music and providing live commentary on the various competition taking place throughout day.
“It’s a day of getting together and smiling too much,” said McCormick, the school’s headmaster. “We have high standards for accessibility,” he said, “Modeling that for parents is great; it’s a day without barriers. This really gives people an idea of what accessibility looks like if it’s thoughtfully planned.”
24. In what way was Thursday’s track meet special
A. It allowed the blind to compete with the sighted.
B. It was targeted at students with impaired vision.
C. It was held on a high-level playing field.
D. It involved many fitness instructors.
25. What did competitors rely on to find their direction
A. White lines along the lane. B. Guide rails on the ground.
C. Thin guide wires. D. Separated lanes.
26. What excited Register concerning the track meet
A. the large scale. B. The intense competition.
C. The perfect sporting venues. D. The professional commentary.
27. What can be inferred from McCormick’s words
A. Parents should be models for their kids.
B. Accessibility is quite difficult to achieve.
C. The track meet leaves much to be desired.
D. His school offers students access-friendly facilities.
C
A professor at the University of South Florida recently published a paper she knew barely anyone would read. At least, not outside her field. The paper had to do with the impact of algae (海藻) blooms and depletion (退化) of coral reefs on the region’s tourism industry.
The work of completing the paper was glum, says Heather O’Leary. It involved tracking visitors’ reactions to the environment on social media. “Part of the data for months was just reading posts: dead fish, dead fish, dead fish,” she recalled. “We were really thinking every day about the Gulf of Mexico and the waters that surround us, about those risks, and the risks to our coastal economy.”
O’Leary wanted people to pay attention to her paper and raise their environmental awareness. But she couldn’t come up with any solutions. However, attending concerts at USF’s School of Music inspired and gladdened her. She reached out to its director of bands, Matthew McCutchen. “I’m studying climate change and what’s going down at the coral reefs,” he remembered her saying. “And I’ve got all this data from my paper and I’d like to know if there’s any way that we can turn it into music. So people can know about my paper.”
Indeed there position professor Paul Reller worked with students to map pitch, rhythm and duration to the data. It came alive, O’Leary said, in ways it simply couldn’t be done on a spreadsheet.
“My students were really excited to start thinking about how students from other majors, such as the music students, heard patterns that they did not normally hear in some of the repetitions,” she said. In this case, she said, the patterns revealed the economic impact of pollution on coastal Florida communities.
With music, she added, “you can start to sense with different parts of your mind and your body that there are patterns happening and that they’re important.” “The world is going to see more and more of these ‘wicked problems’, the ones that take multiple people with different types of training and background to solve.”
Now,a group of professors and students are working to bring together music and the environment in related projects, such as an augmented (增强的) reality experience based on this composition. The group wants to spread awareness about the algae blooms, data literacy (数据认知) and environmental protection.
28. What does the underlined word “glum” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Exciting. B. Emotional.
C. Routine. D. Miserable.
29. What favor did Heather ask Matthew to offer
A. Turn her algae data into music.
B. Find some music about coral reefs.
C. Teach her some musical terms.
D. Compose songs regarding climate change.
30. What do patterns in Paul’s music reflect
A. The different types of training.
B. The repetition of pitch and rhythm.
C. The threat of pollution on the costal economy.
D. The complex challenges of wicked problems.
31. What role did Heather think music plays
A. Providing solutions to the algae problem.
B. Exposing more wicked problems to the public.
C. Showing the economic growth in coastal cities.
D. Helping people experience the problems better.
D
At the start of nearly every doctor’s visit, chances are you will be asked to step on a scale and get your weight measured for that day’s exam record. But many conversations around weight have become an obstacle, not a help, in the campaign to make people healthier.
Higher body masses are associated with increased risk for diseases like hypertension, diabetes and coronary disease. Many studies of hundreds of thousands of patients have shown that heavier people are at higher risk for these illnesses. But the big picture is not the whole picture. Researchers have identified a subset of obese people considered to be “metabolically healthy”—meaning they do not exhibit elevated blood pressure or the diabetes indicator called insulin resistance, for example. Although the numbers vary greatly depending on the study, the “metabolically healthy” population could account for anywhere from 6 to 75 percent of obese individuals.
One interesting report published in 2016 found that a higher body mass index (or BMI, the ratio of weight to height) “only moderately increased the risks for diabetes among healthy subjects” and that unhealthy thin people were twice as likely to get diabetes as healthy fat people. Clearly, there is more to the equation than weight.
Despite such findings, doctors routinely recommend dieting for weight loss as a means to “treat” poor health indicators such as high cholesterol and insomnia in fat patients. Virtually no diet works in the long term. The result: 95 to 98 percent of those who attempt to lose weight fail, and up to two thirds end up heavier than when they began. Spending years trapped in a cycle of losing weight, regaining it, then losing it again is associated with poorer health outcomes. It is time that doctors give up the scale-centric health care practice and focus on behaviors that have proven positive outcomes for health.
Among the more dangerous by-products of weight-centric health care are the increased shame experienced by the overweight. The well-reported anecdotal experience of innumerable fat people is that doctors often prescribe weight loss without examining them, running tests or performing other normal procedures for conditions that thin people would be screened for automatically. Research over the past two decades has shown that health professionals have negative attitudes toward fat people, as the authors of a large review paper wrote in 2013 in Current Obesity Reports. Not only that but doctors’ appointments with fat patients are shorter on average, and physicians routinely use negative words in their medical histories of such people. Such practices keep people from regular annual exams and prevent the detection of serious underlying conditions.
To practice evidence-based medicine, doctors should stop relying on weight alone as an indicator of health. Instead practitioners should focus on behavioral changes to improve health outcomes.
32. By “the big picture is not the whole picture” (paragraph 2), the writer means that_______.
A. there are some exceptions
B. more evidence should be presented
C. some health risk has been neglected
D. people don’t care much about health
33. Why does the writer mention the report published in 2016
A. To call attention to those who are thin but unhealthy.
B. To explain what “moderately increase” means in real life.
C. To argue against BMI being used as an indicator of fatness.
D. To show that weight may not be associated with poor health.
34. What can be inferred from the passage about fat people
A. Most of them worry about their weight.
B. Some of them can’t be diagnosed correctly.
C. They need at least one exam every half year
D. They don’t follow doctors’ recommendations.
35. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Weight-watching health care is common but may do harm.
B. More care should be taken of those overweight people.
C. Fat people are sometimes treated unfairly in society.
D. It’s time that we should be more health-conscious.

A Few Active Listening Guidelines
Listening is arguably the most important element of interpersonal communication. Our ability to listen well impacts the quality of all of our relationships, and not just at home with our family and friends—it can also affect our relationships and interactions on the job, as well as the effectiveness and quality of our work.
Listening is not something that comes naturally or easily for most of us. Instead, it is a skill that must be cultivated and practiced. Active listening means the difference between simply hearing, and listening with the intent to truly understand. ___36___
1. Give focused attention.
Try to minimize external (外部的) distractions. Turn down the noise, and put down or step away from what you’re doing if possible. ___37___ Don’t watch the clock, fidget (坐立不安) or go over your to-do list for later.
2. Maintain eye contact.
Direct eye contact shows your attention and intention to listen. ___38___ Be reasonable, but try not to let your eyes wander to whatever is going on around you.
3. ___39___
Restate, but don’t repeat word for word. Paraphrase what you think the other part is saying with responses such as: “What I’m hearing is…” or “Let me see if I’m following you…”Reflecting what you’ve heard signals that you’re attempting to understand fully.
4. Respond appropriately.
Be open and honest in your responses. Share your thoughts, insights and feelings in a clear, but respectful and considerate manner even if you disagree.
Active listening is a model for good communication. ___40___ It takes practice to develop active listening skills, and it’s a habit that has to be reinforced (加强). Remind yourself that the goal of conversation is not merely to trade words, but to truly understand what the other party is saying and to be understood in turn.
A. Reflect back.
B. This doesn’t mean stare, though.
C. Instead, focus on what is being said.
D. It is a subtle but important distinction.
E. Look into the speakers’ eyes as long as possible.
F. Also, set aside other internal thinking and dialogue.
G. Remember that listening is not just to gather information and share ideas, but also to gain perspective and understanding.

Sweat poured down from Mark’s face. He had just finished trying out for the football team in his high school, and of course he made it. After all, he had been playing football for almost ten years.
Football was a way of life in Mark’s family. His father was a coach in a primary school. His elder brother Roy was now playing at a top college. Mark was expected to follow his brother’s footsteps and make his family proud. But he had a secret. Though he was good at football, Mark’s heart wasn’t in it anymore. He had another sport on his mind.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Mark hopped on the school bus heading home. Through the bus window, he could see the cheerleading squad (啦啦队) on the field. The cheerleaders were kicking, dancing, and performing amazing moves. Mark was fascinated. In fact, he had been attracted by cheerleading for some time.
He pulled out a piece of paper from his schoolbag. Printed across the top in big letters was the phrase: Cheerleaders Wanted. That’s what Mark really wanted to do. His love for football had gone away months ago, and he longed for being a cheerleader instead of a football player.
He knew that cheerleading would not only be a physical challenge; it would also be an emotional one, too. His family had such high expectations for him when it came to football. But Mark was tired of trying to keep up with his brother. He wanted his dream and was ready to go on his own path.
Right now, after his football tryout, he knew he had to tell the truth to his parents. As soon as he arrived home, his parents were already waiting for him at the door. “Did you get in the football team ” they asked anxiously.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Yes I made it. But I don’t want to play football anymore,” he replied.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hearing his apology, Mark’s parents calmed down and smiled.

【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Part of the data for months was just reading posts: dead fish, dead fish, dead fish (几个月来的部分数据只是阅读帖子：死鱼，死鱼，死鱼)”可推知，完成论文的工作是令人闷闷不乐的，忧郁的，glum的意思是“令人闷闷不乐的”，和miserable意思相近，故选D。

At the start of nearly every doctor’s visit, chances are you will be asked to step on a scale and get your weight measured for that day’s exam record. But many conversations around weight have become an obstacle, not a help, in the campaign to make people healthier.
Higher body masses are associated with increased risk for diseases like hypertension, diabetes and coronary disease. Many studies of hundreds of thousands of patients have shown that heavier people are at higher risk for these illnesses. But the big picture is not the whole picture. Researchers have identified a subset of obese people considered to be “metabolically healthy”—meaning they do not exhibit elevated blood pressure or the diabetes indicator called insulin resistance, for example. Although the numbers vary greatly depending on the study, the “metabolically healthy” population could account for anywhere from 6 to 75 percent of obese individuals.
One interesting report published in 2016 found that a higher body mass index (or BMI, the ratio of weight to height) “only moderately increased the risks for diabetes among healthy subjects” and that unhealthy thin people were twice as likely to get diabetes as healthy fat people. Clearly, there is more to the equation than weight.
Despite such findings, doctors routinely recommend dieting for weight loss as a means to “treat” poor health indicators such as high cholesterol and insomnia in fat patients. Virtually no diet works in the long term. The result: 95 to 98 percent of those who attempt to lose weight fail, and up to two thirds end up heavier than when they began. Spending years trapped in a cycle of losing weight, regaining it, then losing it again is associated with poorer health outcomes. It is time that doctors give up the scale-centric health care practice and focus on behaviors that have proven positive outcomes for health.
Among the more dangerous by-products of weight-centric health care are the increased shame experienced by the overweight. The well-reported anecdotal experience of innumerable fat people is that doctors often prescribe weight loss without examining them, running tests or performing other normal procedures for conditions that thin people would be screened for automatically. Research over the past two decades has shown that health professionals have negative attitudes toward fat people, as the authors of a large review paper wrote in 2013 in Current Obesity Reports. Not only that but doctors’ appointments with fat patients are shorter on average, and physicians routinely use negative words in their medical histories of such people. Such practices keep people from regular annual exams and prevent the detection of serious underlying conditions.
To practice evidence-based medicine, doctors should stop relying on weight alone as an indicator of health. Instead practitioners should focus on behavioral changes to improve health outcomes.
32. By “the big picture is not the whole picture” (paragraph 2), the writer means that_______.
A. there are some exceptions
B. more evidence should be presented
C. some health risk has been neglected
D. people don’t care much about health
33. Why does the writer mention the report published in 2016
A. To call attention to those who are thin but unhealthy.
B. To explain what “moderately increase” means in real life.
C. To argue against BMI being used as an indicator of fatness.
D. To show that weight may not be associated with poor health.
34. What can be inferred from the passage about fat people
A. Most of them worry about their weight.
B. Some of them can’t be diagnosed correctly.
C. They need at least one exam every half year
D. They don’t follow doctors’ recommendations.
35. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Weight-watching health care is common but may do harm.
B. More care should be taken of those overweight people.
C. Fat people are sometimes treated unfairly in society.
D. It’s time that we should be more health-conscious.
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章说明了以体重为主的医疗保健中心对人们的不良影响，指出医生不应该只以体重为健康指标，也不要将减肥作为快速治疗健康疾病的手段。
【32题详解】
句意猜测题。加粗句上文“Many studies of hundreds of thousands of patients have shown that heavier people are at higher risk for these illnesses.”（针对数十万患者的许多研究表明，体重越重，患有这些疾病的风险越高）提到许多研究表明体重越重，患有高血压、糖尿病等疾病的风险越高。但是下文“Researchers have identified a subset of obese people considered to be “metabolically healthy”— meaning they do not exhibit elevated blood pressure or the diabetes indicator called insulin resistance, for example.”（研究人员已经鉴定了一组肥胖人群“代谢健康”，这意味着这一人群没有出现高血压或糖尿病的征兆，比如胰岛素抵抗）与之形成转折，提出其实肥胖人群中也有代谢健康的人。由此推断，“the big picture is not the whole picture”指的是存在例外，即并不是所有肥胖人群都存在代谢健康问题。故选A项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据这份2016年报告的结果（第三段的第一句）“One interesting report published in 2016 found that a higher body mass index (or BMI, the ratio of weight to height) “only moderately increased the risks for diabetes among healthy subjects” and that unhealthy thin people were twice as likely to get diabetes as healthy fat people.”（2016年的一份有趣的报告发现，体重指数偏高的人群患糖尿病的风险只比健康人群的风险高一点。而体重偏低、不健康的人群患糖尿病的风险是健康肥胖人群的两倍）可知，结果表明，体重偏低、不健康的人群患糖尿病的风险是健康肥胖人群的两倍，由此可知，体重也许并不会影响健康。故选D项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段最后两句“Not only that but doctors’ appointments with fat patients are shorter on average, and physicians routinely use negative words in their medical histories of such people. Such practices keep people from regular annual exams and prevent the detection of serious underlying conditions.”（而且医生给肥胖患者的平均预约时间更短，医生在描写肥胖患者的病史时经常使用负面词汇。这种做法使这些人群无法定期进行年度体检，从而无法及时测出潜在的严重疾病问题）可知，有些医生只以体重为健康指标，没有给肥胖患者做出正确的诊断。故选B项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。结合全文，第一段指出去医院时往往要测体重这一现象，引出话题；第二、三段介绍了虽然先前有许多研究认为体重过重容易诱发高血压等疾病，但是也有研究发现体重可能与健康无关；第四、五段指出以体重为主的医疗保健对人们造成不良影响；最后一段呼吁医生不应该只以体重为健康指标，也不要将减肥作为快速治疗健康疾病的手段。所以文章主要讲的是如今许多医生只依据体重来衡量一个人是否健康，但这么做是有害的。故选A项。

A Few Active Listening Guidelines
Listening is arguably the most important element of interpersonal communication. Our ability to listen well impacts the quality of all of our relationships, and not just at home with our family and friends—it can also affect our relationships and interactions on the job, as well as the effectiveness and quality of our work.
Listening is not something that comes naturally or easily for most of us. Instead, it is a skill that must be cultivated and practiced. Active listening means the difference between simply hearing, and listening with the intent to truly understand. ___36___
1. Give focused attention.
Try to minimize external (外部的) distractions. Turn down the noise, and put down or step away from what you’re doing if possible. ___37___ Don’t watch the clock, fidget (坐立不安) or go over your to-do list for later.
2. Maintain eye contact.
Direct eye contact shows your attention and intention to listen. ___38___ Be reasonable but try not to let your eyes wander to whatever is going on around you.
3. ___39___
Restate, but don’t repeat word for word. Paraphrase what you think the other part is saying with responses such as: “What I’m hearing is…” or “Let me see if I’m following you…”Reflecting what you’ve heard signals that you’re attempting to understand fully.
4. Respond appropriately.
Be open and honest in your responses. Share your thoughts, insights and feelings in a clear, but respectful and considerate manner even if you disagree.
Active listening is a model for good communication. ___40___ It takes practice to develop active listening skills, and it’s a habit that has to be reinforced (加强). Remind yourself that the goal of conversation is not merely to trade words, but to truly understand what the other party is saying and to be understood in turn.
A. Reflect back.
B. This doesn’t mean stare, though.
C. Instead, focus on what is being said.
D. It is a subtle but important distinction.
E. Look into the speakers’ eyes as long as possible.
F. Also, set aside other internal thinking and dialogue.
G. Remember that listening is not just to gather information and share ideas, but also to gain perspective and understanding.

【40题详解】

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sweat poured down from Mark’s face. He had just finished trying out for the football team in his high school, and of course he made it. After all, he had been playing football for almost ten years.
Football was a way of life in Mark’s family. His father was a coach in a primary school. His elder brother Roy was now playing at a top college. Mark was expected to follow his brother’s footsteps and make his family proud. But he had a secret. Though he was good at football, Mark’s heart wasn’t in it anymore. He had another sport on his mind.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Mark hopped on the school bus heading home. Through the bus window, he could see the cheerleading squad (啦啦队) on the field. The cheerleaders were kicking, dancing, and performing amazing moves. Mark was fascinated. In fact, he had been attracted by cheerleading for some time.
He pulled out a piece of paper from his schoolbag. Printed across the top in big letters was the phrase: Cheerleaders Wanted. That’s what Mark really wanted to do. His love for football had gone away months ago, and he longed for being a cheerleader instead of a football player.
He knew that cheerleading would not only be a physical challenge; it would also be an emotional one, too. His family had such high expectations for him when it came to football. But Mark was tired of trying to keep up with his brother. He wanted his dream and was ready to go on his own path.
Right now, after his football tryout, he knew he had to tell the truth to his parents. As soon as he arrived home, his parents were already waiting for him at the door. “Did you get in the football team ” they asked anxiously.

【答案】One possible version:
“Yes, I made it. But I don’t want to play football anymore,” he replied. No sooner had they heard the stunning words than his parents were frozen to the spot. With eyebrows knitted and mouths dropped open, they held Mark’s hands firmly, asking what was wrong with him. Mark was too ashamed to meet their eyes. After a while, summoning up all his courage, Mark explained what had happened to his beloved parents. Flushed with embarrassment, he made a sincere apology to his dad and mom, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to lie to you. But I really want to try cheerleading.”
Hearing his apology, Mark’s parents calmed down and smiled. In a mild voice, they comforted Mark who was in low spirits. “It is absolutely OK to pursue what you really love,” said Mom. Looking up from the floor, Mark couldn’t believe what he heard. He felt a ton lighter on his shoulders. He felt a lump in his throat and couldn’t stammer out a word from his trembling lips. With teary eyes, he held his parents into his arms and thanked them for their trust. Admittedly, parents’ trust and unconditional love will empower a child for his whole life.
