Canada is diverse and vast, and the festivals celebrated there reflect this. Here are some exciting ones that attract visitors worldwide.
Montreal Comedy Festival
Since 1983, Montreal Comedy Festival, or, Just for Laughs as it is more commonly known, has been inviting people to get together just for fun, just for entertainment — just for laughs. The festival, which takes place every year for two weeks in July, has grown in popularity and reputation and today features some of the world’s greatest comedians and it also resulted in a television show that is broadcast internationally.
Vancouver Celebration of Light
The largest fireworks competition in the world is held every summer in Vancouver. It consists of concerts, food stalls, and the Seawall Challenge, a popular urban adventure race. The festival, which lasts about a week, makes for a great way to get to know the city from a local standpoint.
Toronto International Film Festival
Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) is one of the leading film festivals in the world, ranking closely with Cannes and Sundance. Films such as Hotel Rwanda, American Beauty, and The Big Chill made their premieres (首映) at this famous star-filled event held each September. The 11-day-long festival is also known as the kick-off of awards season, with many films that make their first public performance at TIFF going on to get nominated (提名) for Oscars and Golden Globe awards.
Edmonton Folk Festival
From its humble beginning in 1980, Edmonton Folk Festival has grown to be one of the world’s famous folk festivals. Held each August, the lineup of the 10-day-long festival is always outstanding and ticket prices stay reasonable. Edmonton is also a gateway to Jasper National Park and the Canadian Rockies, about two hours away in case you have extra time to explore after the festival.

For the creatively minded, snow represents a large blank canvas (空白画布) for art. But often, it’s limited to snowmen or other snow statues. Simon Beck had a different idea, and over the course of a decade he has carved a path for himself in the snow art world. He creates large land art by walking across soccer-field-sized areas covered in untouched bined with light and shadow, his artistic designs can only be fully appreciated when viewed from above.
Beck, 59, a former map maker turned into a snow artist, thanks to his decision late in life to pursue his hobby.
“It started just as a joke one day really,” Beck explained. “After skiing one day, I decided to make a drawing on snow to have pleasure…”
“I really had no idea how good it would look when I made that first drawing, but it really went beyond my expectation.” he said of his first ever creation that he looked down on from a ski lift.
To create this work, Beck stepped his way through the snow using only snowshoes and a ski pole for measurement with nothing else but the image of a design idea in his head. It was not challenging at all due to his previous work experience. But as his designs developed and became more complex, Beck said he began to start drawing them on paper first.
Beck’s paintings have become a huge hit since his work was first shared.
“Most of the time I had been doing failed careers, and people around me are asking what’s the quickest way of getting rid of this person,” Beck said. “And for the first time, I felt people actually wanted me. I felt like a more valued member of society.”
4. Where does Simon Beck create art
A. On canvas. B. In the sky. C. On snow fields. D. At soccer courts.
5. Why did Beck create his first drawing
A. To seek fun. B. To prove his talent.
C. To develop a new hobby. D. To enhance his former career.
6. What contributes to Beck’s art creation
A. His passion for skiing. B. His competitive nature.
C. His dream to be an artist. D. His experience of making maps.
7. What did Beck think of his painting work
A. Boring. B. Rewarding. C. Demanding. D. Discouraging.
C
The first running boom came in the 1970s and 80s and there was no real diversity: it was all thin, skinny, white guys in very tight shorts. The second boom came after Paula Radcliffe broke the world marathon record in 2003, leading to a big jump in women taking up running, before parkrun grew the numbers again. You look now. This explosion — and it really is an explosion — has been brilliant to see.
More than 1.1 million have signed up for the 2026 London Marathon — not only a world record but nearly double the figure from two years ago. Strikingly, for the first time, the male/female division is almost 50/50．The race is also getting younger: more than a third of UK entries are aged from 18 to 29 years old.
Running has always been cheap and anyone can do it. Now it is also fashionable. But dig a little deeper, and there are some interesting things going on. Last month, for instance, Sport England found that while there were 349,000 more runners in England in 2024 compared to 2023, that rise was almost entirely fueled by women.
“Part of the rise is because brands have realized that women are willing to spend a lot of money on products that work better and look nicer,” says Lee Glandorf, a marketer who works with sports brands. This huge ecosystem of female creators definitely brings in younger women. That is particularly true of Gen Z, who drink much less than previous generations and is more aware of mental health. A research is now showing that running is better than taking a pill to help with depression. Another factor behind the boom is the explosion of running clubs, which bring people together. In the buildup to the London Marathon, the sports brand Tracksmith had up to 400 runners gather outside its shop for its Sunday morning long runs with pacers running between 6.45-minute and 12-minute miles.
8. What can be known about the second running boom
A. Women preferred running to jumping.
B. It was caused by parkrun across the world.
C. Participants were all men professional runners.
D. It began after the world marathon record was broken.
9. How is paragraph 2 developed
A. By offering surveys. B. By making comparison.
C. By presenting numbers. D. By making a summary.
10. What change has taken place in running
A. It is fashionable. B. It is easily accessible.
C. It involves more women. D. It is environmentally friendly.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. Diverse running styles. B. The benefits of running.
C. Teenage runners’ health issue. D. The causes of the new running trend.
D
A new study by researchers at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health shows that climate change may significantly impact arsenic (砷) levels in rice, a main food for millions across Asia. The research indicates that increased temperatures above 2℃, combined with rising carbon dioxide (CO2) levels, result in higher concentrations (浓度) of arsenic in rice, potentially increasing lifetime health risks for populations in Asia by 2050.
“Our results suggest that this increase in arsenic levels could significantly raise the incidence of heart disease, and other serious health effects,” said Lewis Ziska, PhD, Columbia Mailman School associate professor of Environmental Health Sciences. “As rice is a principle food in many parts of the world, these changes could lead to a substantial rise in the global problem of cancer, and other arsenic-related health issues.”
From a health aspect, the harmful effects of long-lasting arsenic exposure are well established and include cancers of the lung and skin, as well as heart disease. Emerging evidence also suggests that arsenic exposure may be even linked to poor pregnancy (妊娠) outcomes. In fact, “ingesting rice in regions like southern China and Southeast and South Asia is already a significant source of cancer risk,” said Ziska.
By measuring the effects of rising temperatures and CO2 on 28 rice kinds over ten years in the field using FACE (Free-Air CO2 Enrichment) method, and combining advanced modeling techniques, the team estimated health risks for seven Asian countries.
“Based on our findings, we believe there are several actions that could help reduce arsenic exposure in the future,” Ziska noted. These include efforts in plant producing to minimize arsenic uptake, improved soil management in rice fields, and better processing practices. Such measures, along with public health initiatives focused on consumer education and exposure monitoring, could play a critical role in reducing the health impacts of climate change on people’s eating rice.
12. What leads to lifetime health risks according to the new study
A. Diversity of rice in Asia. B. Change in air composition.
C. Rapid growth of population. D. Increasing arsenic levels in rice.
13. What can be learnt from paragraph 2
A. Impacts of rice on medical study. B. Potential risks from affected rice.
C. Further research on people’s health. D. Approaches to growing high quality rice.
14. What does the underlined word “ingesting” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Consuming. B. Producing. C. Transporting. D. Protecting.
15. What does the author think of the future of rice-eating
A. Doubtful. B. Concerning. C. Promising. D. Changeless.

47. 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。
Every child hopes for gifts for Christmas. But it seemed that my family didn’t have enough money to buy me the bike that I’d wanted for Christmas. After supper was over on Christmas eve, I sat at the table, feeling sorry for myself.
It was cold outside. Soon Dad came back. “Come on, Eric,” he said. “Put on warm clothes. It’s cold out tonight.” I was really upset then. Not only was I not getting the bike for Christmas, but now Dad was dragging me out in the cold. But anyway, I got up and followed him.
Outside, in front of the house, our old truck was ready. The cold was already biting at me. Dad went into the woodshed (柴房) and came out with an armload of wood. “Dad,” I asked, “what are you doing ” He said, “I passed by Ms. Black’s house today. She is a single mother of three kids. Her eldest son, 8-year-old Robert, was out digging around in the woodpile trying to find a few chips. He was just wearing an old thin shirt, trembling with cold. They’re out of wood, Eric.” That was all he said and then he turned and went back into the room for a big ham. He handed them to me and told me to put them in the truck and wait. When he returned, he was carrying a bag of something in his hand. “What’s in the bag ” I asked. “Coats. They’re out of warm clothes. I got the children a little candy too. It just wouldn’t be Christmas without a little candy.”
We drove two miles to Ms. Black’s house. We stopped at the gate and unloaded the wood, then we took the other things to the door. Ms. Black opened the door and let us in. The room felt cold. Such a small fire could hardly give off any heat at all. So Dad asked me to add more wood to the fire.
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。
I soon made the fire burn brighter and everyone’s spirits rose high.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On the way back home, Dad turned to me and began to explain about the bike I had longed for.

【答案】范文：
I soon made the fire burn brighter and everyone’s spirits rose high. The room felt warm now. The kids started giggling when Dad handed them each a piece of candy and a coat. Ms. Black looked with a smile. “The children and I have been praying that angels would come to our help and here you come,” she said with tears running down her face. Dad took each of the kids in his big arms and gave them a hug before we left. Out on the truck I felt a warmth that came from deep within and I didn’t even notice the cold.
On the way back home, Dad turned to me and began to explain about the bike I had longed for. It turned out that he and Mom had finally saved enough money to buy that bike for me. On his way to buy me the gift, Dad saw little Robert out of his house with an old thin shirt. “Son, I spent the money saved for your bike buying coats for the children. I hope you understand,” he said. I understood very well. Now the bike seemed very low on my list of priorities. Dad had given me the look on Ms. Black’s face and the joyful smiles of her three children.

Canada is diverse and vast, and the festivals celebrated there reflect this. Here are some exciting ones that attract visitors worldwide.
Montreal Comedy Festival
Since 1983, Montreal Comedy Festival, or, Just for Laughs as it is more commonly known, has been inviting people to get together just for fun, just for entertainment — just for laughs. The festival, which takes place every year for two weeks in July, has grown in popularity and reputation and today features some of the world’s greatest comedians and it also resulted in a television show that is broadcast internationally.
Vancouver Celebration of Light
The largest fireworks competition in the world is held every summer in Vancouver. It consists of concerts, food stalls, and the Seawall Challenge, a popular urban adventure race. The festival, which lasts about a week, makes for a great way to get to know the city from a local standpoint.
Toronto International Film Festival
Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) is one of the leading film festivals in the world, ranking closely with Cannes and Sundance. Films such as Hotel Rwanda, American Beauty, and The Big Chill made their premieres (首映) at this famous star-filled event held each September. The 11-day-long festival is also known as the kick-off of awards season, with many films that make their first public performance at TIFF going on to get nominated (提名) for Oscars and Golden Globe awards.
Edmonton Folk Festival
From its humble beginning in 1980, Edmonton Folk Festival has grown to be one of the world’s famous folk festivals. Held each August, the lineup of the 10-day-long festival is always outstanding and ticket prices stay reasonable. Edmonton is also a gateway to Jasper National Park and the Canadian Rockies, about two hours away in case you have extra time to explore after the festival.

For the creatively minded, snow represents a large blank canvas (空白画布) for art. But often, it’s limited to snowmen or other snow statues. Simon Beck had a different idea, and over the course of a decade he has carved a path for himself in the snow art world. He creates large land art by walking across soccer-field-sized areas covered in untouched bined with light and shadow, his artistic designs can only be fully appreciated when viewed from above.
Beck, 59, a former map maker turned into a snow artist, thanks to his decision late in life to pursue his hobby.
“It started just as a joke one day really,” Beck explained. “After skiing one day, I decided to make a drawing on snow to have pleasure…”
“I really had no idea how good it would look when I made that first drawing, but it really went beyond my expectation.” he said of his first ever creation that he looked down on from a ski lift.
To create this work, Beck stepped his way through the snow using only snowshoes and a ski pole for measurement with nothing else but the image of a design idea in his head. It was not challenging at all due to his previous work experience. But as his designs developed and became more complex, Beck said he began to start drawing them on paper first.
Beck’s paintings have become a huge hit since his work was first shared.
“Most of the time I had been doing failed careers, and people around me are asking what’s the quickest way of getting rid of this person,” Beck said. “And for the first time, I felt people actually wanted me. I felt like a more valued member of society.”
4. Where does Simon Beck create art
A. On canvas. B. In the sky. C. On snow fields. D. At soccer courts.
5. Why did Beck create his first drawing
A. To seek fun. B. To prove his talent.
C. To develop a new hobby. D. To enhance his former career.
6. What contributes to Beck’s art creation
A. His passion for skiing. B. His competitive nature.
C. His dream to be an artist. D. His experience of making maps.
7. What did Beck think of his painting work
A. Boring. B. Rewarding. C. Demanding. D. Discouraging.
C
The first running boom came in the 1970s and 80s and there was no real diversity: it was all thin, skinny, white guys in very tight shorts. The second boom came after Paula Radcliffe broke the world marathon record in 2003, leading to a big jump in women taking up running, before parkrun grew the numbers again. You look now. This explosion — and it really is an explosion — has been brilliant to see.
More than 1.1 million have signed up for the 2026 London Marathon — not only a world record but nearly double the figure from two years ago. Strikingly, for the first time, the male/female division is almost 50/50．The race is also getting younger: more than a third of UK entries are aged from 18 to 29 years old.
Running has always been cheap and anyone can do it. Now it is also fashionable. But dig a little deeper, and there are some interesting things going on. Last month, for instance, Sport England found that while there were 349,000 more runners in England in 2024 compared to 2023, that rise was almost entirely fueled by women.
“Part of the rise is because brands have realized that women are willing to spend a lot of money on products that work better and look nicer,” says Lee Glandorf, a marketer who works with sports brands. This huge ecosystem of female creators definitely brings in younger women. That is particularly true of Gen Z, who drink much less than previous generations and is more aware of mental health. A research is now showing that running is better than taking a pill to help with depression. Another factor behind the boom is the explosion of running clubs, which bring people together. In the buildup to the London Marathon, the sports brand Tracksmith had up to 400 runners gather outside its shop for its Sunday morning long runs with pacers running between 6.45-minute and 12-minute miles.
8. What can be known about the second running boom
A. Women preferred running to jumping.
B. It was caused by parkrun across the world.
C. Participants were all men professional runners.
D. It began after the world marathon record was broken.
9. How is paragraph 2 developed
A. By offering surveys. B. By making comparison.
C. By presenting numbers. D. By making a summary.
10. What change has taken place in running
A. It is fashionable. B. It is easily accessible.
C. It involves more women. D. It is environmentally friendly.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. Diverse running styles. B. The benefits of running.
C. Teenage runners’ health issue. D. The causes of the new running trend.
D
A new study by researchers at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health shows that climate change may significantly impact arsenic (砷) levels in rice, a main food for millions across Asia. The research indicates that increased temperatures above 2℃, combined with rising carbon dioxide (CO2) levels, result in higher concentrations (浓度) of arsenic in rice, potentially increasing lifetime health risks for populations in Asia by 2050.
“Our results suggest that this increase in arsenic levels could significantly raise the incidence of heart disease, and other serious health effects,” said Lewis Ziska, PhD, Columbia Mailman School associate professor of Environmental Health Sciences. “As rice is a principle food in many parts of the world, these changes could lead to a substantial rise in the global problem of cancer, and other arsenic-related health issues.”
From a health aspect, the harmful effects of long-lasting arsenic exposure are well established and include cancers of the lung and skin, as well as heart disease. Emerging evidence also suggests that arsenic exposure may be even linked to poor pregnancy (妊娠) outcomes. In fact, “ingesting rice in regions like southern China and Southeast and South Asia is already a significant source of cancer risk,” said Ziska.
By measuring the effects of rising temperatures and CO2 on 28 rice kinds over ten years in the field using FACE (Free-Air CO2 Enrichment) method, and combining advanced modeling techniques, the team estimated health risks for seven Asian countries.
“Based on our findings, we believe there are several actions that could help reduce arsenic exposure in the future,” Ziska noted. These include efforts in plant producing to minimize arsenic uptake, improved soil management in rice fields, and better processing practices. Such measures, along with public health initiatives focused on consumer education and exposure monitoring, could play a critical role in reducing the health impacts of climate change on people’s eating rice.
12. What leads to lifetime health risks according to the new study
A. Diversity of rice in Asia. B. Change in air composition.
C. Rapid growth of population. D. Increasing arsenic levels in rice.
13. What can be learnt from paragraph 2
A. Impacts of rice on medical study. B. Potential risks from affected rice.
C. Further research on people’s health. D. Approaches to growing high quality rice.
14. What does the underlined word “ingesting” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Consuming. B. Producing. C. Transporting. D. Protecting.
15. What does the author think of the future of rice-eating
A. Doubtful. B. Concerning. C. Promising. D. Changeless.

Every child hopes for gifts for Christmas. But it seemed that my family didn’t have enough money to buy me the bike that I’d wanted for Christmas. After supper was over on Christmas eve, I sat at the table, feeling sorry for myself.
It was cold outside. Soon Dad came back. “Come on, Eric,” he said. “Put on warm clothes. It’s cold out tonight.” I was really upset then. Not only was I not getting the bike for Christmas, but now Dad was dragging me out in the cold. But anyway, I got up and followed him.
Outside, in front of the house, our old truck was ready. The cold was already biting at me. Dad went into the woodshed (柴房) and came out with an armload of wood. “Dad,” I asked, “what are you doing ” He said, “I passed by Ms. Black’s house today. She is a single mother of three kids. Her eldest son, 8-year-old Robert, was out digging around in the woodpile trying to find a few chips. He was just wearing an old thin shirt, trembling with cold. They’re out of wood, Eric.” That was all he said and then he turned and went back into the room for a big ham. He handed them to me and told me to put them in the truck and wait. When he returned, he was carrying a bag of something in his hand. “What’s in the bag ” I asked. “Coats. They’re out of warm clothes. I got the children a little candy too. It just wouldn’t be Christmas without a little candy.”
We drove two miles to Ms. Black’s house. We stopped at the gate and unloaded the wood, then we took the other things to the door. Ms. Black opened the door and let us in. The room felt cold. Such a small fire could hardly give off any heat at all. So Dad asked me to add more wood to the fire.
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。
I soon made the fire burn brighter and everyone’s spirits rose high.

On the way back home, Dad turned to me and began to explain about the bike I had longed for.

I soon made the fire burn brighter and everyone’s spirits rose high. The room felt warm now. The kids started giggling when Dad handed them each a piece of candy and a coat. Ms. Black looked with a smile. “The children and I have been praying that angels would come to our help and here you come,” she said with tears running down her face. Dad took each of the kids in his big arms and gave them a hug before we left. Out on the truck I felt a warmth that came from deep within and I didn’t even notice the cold.
On the way back home, Dad turned to me and began to explain about the bike I had longed for. It turned out that he and Mom had finally saved enough money to buy that bike for me. On his way to buy me the gift, Dad saw little Robert out of his house with an old thin shirt. “Son, I spent the money saved for your bike buying coats for the children. I hope you understand,” he said. I understood very well. Now the bike seemed very low on my list of priorities. Dad had given me the look on Ms. Black’s face and the joyful smiles of her three children.
