Banff National Park of Canada Banff's rich history dates back to 1885, when three railway workers came across hot mineral springs surfacing from deep within the mountains. This discovery led to the establishment of Banff National Park, and marked the beginning of Canada's national parks system. Covering 6,641 square kilometers of valleys, mountains, glaciers, forests, meadows and rivers, Banff National Park is one of the world's premier destination spots. Banff is home to a number of outstanding geological and ecological features, including the hot springs and the Castleguard Caves, Canada's longest cave system. St. Lawrence Islands National Park of Canada Conceived in the 1870s, St. Lawrence Islands is one of Canada's oldest national parks. Located in the scenic 1000 Islands Tourist Area, this tiny jewel has a rich and complex natural human history. Centuries ago, aboriginal peoples referred to it as the “Garden of the Great Spirit”. Today, 24 scenic islands, along with a mainland area at Mallorytown Landing, are included in the park. Here, water is the main attraction. Both power and sail boaters stop at the park's islands on the way to the St. Lawrence River. Grasslands National Park of Canada It was here Sitting Bull that took refuge after the Battle of Little Big Horn in 1876. Grasslands National Park is the first national park of Canada to preserve a large part of the mixed prairie grasslands. This magical land of diversity, beauty and history is divided into two blocks. The East Block contains the Killdeer Badlands and the Wood Mountain Uplands, and the West Block preserves the Frenchman River Valley and the dissected plateaus, coulees and famous 70 Mile Butte. It provides visitors opportunities for camping, hiking, horseback riding, biking and nature viewing in one of the last frontiers of the Canadian west.

An estimated 90 percent of all illnesses may be preventable if individuals would make sound personal health choice and do not like to see it restricted when it is within the legal and moral boundaries of society. The structure of American society allows us to make almost all our own personal decisions that may concern our health. If we so desire, we can smoke, drink excessively, refuse to wear seat belts, eat whatever foods we want, and live a completely sedentary life style without any exercise. The freedom to make such personal decisions is a fundamental aspect of our society, although the wisdom of these decisions can be questioned. Personal choices relative to health often cause a difficulty. As one example, a teenager may know the facts relative to smoking cigarettes and health but may be pressured by friends into believing it is the socially accepted thing to do. A multitude of factors, both inherited and environmental, influence the development of health related behaviors, and it is beyond the scope of this text to discuss all these factors as they may affect any given individual. However, the decision to adopt a particular health related behavior is usually one of personal choices. There are healthy choices and there are unhealthy choices. In discussing the morals of personal choice, Fries and Grapo drew a comparison. They suggest that to knowingly give oneself over to a behavior that has a statistical probability of shortening life is similar to attempting suicide. Thus, for those individuals who are interested in preserving both the quality and quantity of life, personal health choices should reflect those behaviors that are associated with a statistical probability of increased vitality and longevity. 68. The concept of personal choice concerning health is important because ____. A. personal health choice help cure most illness B. it helps raise the level of our medical knowledge C. it is essential to personal freedom in American society D. wrong decisions could lead to poor health 69. Sound personal health choice is often difficult to make because ____. A. current medical knowledge is still insufficient B. there are many factors influencing our decisions C. few people are willing to trade the quality of life for the quantity of life D. people are usually influenced by the behavior of their friends 70. To knowingly allow oneself to pursue unhealthy habits is compared by Fries and Crapo to ____. A.improving the quality of one’s lifeB.limiting one’s personal health choice C.deliberately ending one’s lifeD.breaking the rules of social behavior 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(请把答案抄写在答题区) Certain people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel as if you’ve known them half your life. 71 And once we know what it is, we can try to do it ourselves. How is it done? Here are several skills that good talkers have. 72 First of all, good talkers ask questions. 73 One well known businessman says, “At business lunches, I always ask people what they did this morning. It’s a common question, but it will get things going.” From there you can move on to other matters—sometimes to really personal questions. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go. Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen for the answer. This point seems clear, but it isn’t. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. 74 Real listening at least means something. 75 If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that he’ll be really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, it’s time for you to change the subject. Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with occasion of parting. If you’re saying good-bye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, “I’ve really enjoyed meeting you.” If you want to see that person again, don’t keep it secret. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they’ve known you half their lives. A. If you follow the skills, they will help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly. B. These people have something in common. C. First it means not change the subject of conversation. D. And in this way, they will feel you are their life-long friend. E. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. F. But you have to pay attention to the tone voice. G. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively. 第四部分 写作(共两节, 满分35 分) 第一节 短文改错(满分10分) 下面短文中共有10处错误，错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。 增加：在缺词处加一个漏词符号(∧)，并在此符号下面写出该加的词。 删除：把多余的词用斜线(\)划掉。 修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。 注意：1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词;2.只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分; 3. 改错在原文上改 I have been planning to join in our college basketball team next year, so now I am spending as more time as I can with other people who liked to play.
