　　Welcome to Banff, Canada’ s first, most famous and arguably most fascinating national park. If you’ve come to ski or snowboard, we’ll see you on the slopes. Skiing is a locals’ favourite too.

　　While you’ re here, try other recreational activities available in our mountains. Popular choices include a Banff Gondola ride up Sulphur Mountain, bathe in the natural mineral waters at the Upper Hot Spring, horsedrawn sleigh ride, driveyourownteam dog sled excursion, and snowmobile tour to the highland (but not in the national park)．

　　We also recommend you make time to enjoy simple pleasures. After looking around Banff Ave shops, walk a couple of blocks west or south to the scenic Bow River.

　　Try ice skating on frozen Lake Louise where Ice Magic International Ice Sculpture Competition works are displayed after Jan 25. You can rent skates in Banff or at the sport shop in the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise hotel.

　　Banff’ s backcountry paths access a wilderness world of silence and matchless beauty — cross country skis and snowshoes provide the means. Banff sport shops rent equipment and clothes, or join an organized tour. Although we’ve been many times, we still find the cliffs and icefalls of our frozen canyons worth visiting.

　　Wildlife watching also creates satisfying memories. We have seen hundreds of the elk and bighorn sheep that attract visitors, yet they still arouse a sense of wonder. And the rare spotting of a cougar, wolf or woodland caribou takes our breath away.

　　See if simple pleasures work for you. Fight in the snow with your kids, walk bdside a stream or climb to a high place and admire the view.

　　[答案]　C

　　Sometimes，the simplest ideas are the best. For example，to absorb heat from the sun to heat water, you need large, flat，black surfaces. One way to do that is to build those surfaces specially, on the roofs of buildings. But why go to all that trouble when cities are full of black surfaces already, in the form of asphalt (柏油) roads?

　　Ten years ago, this thought came into the mind of Arian de Bondt, a Dutch engineer. He finally persuaded his boss to follow it up. The result is that their building is now heated in winter and cooled in summer by a system that relies on the surface of the road outside.

　　The heatcollector is a system of connected water pipes.Most of them run from one side of the street to the other, just under the asphalt road. Some, however, dive deep into the ground.

　　When the street surface gets hot in summer, water pumped through the pipes picks up this heat and takes it underground through one of the diving pipes. At a depth of 100 metres lies a natural aquifer (蓄水層) into which several heat exchangers (交換器) have been built. The hot water from the street runs through these exchangers, warming the groundwater, before returning to the surface through another pipe. The aquifer is thus used as a heat store.

　　In winter, the working system is changed slightly. Water is pumped through the heat exchangers to pick up the heat stored during summer. This water goes into the building and is used to warm the place up. After performing that task, it is pumped under the asphalt and its remaining heat keeps the road free of snow and ice.

　　[語篇解讀]　文章介紹了怎樣依靠外面的柏油馬路表面在冬天給樓房供暖，在夏天給樓房降溫。

　　4．Which of the following is true according to the first two paragraphs ?

　　A. Arian de Bondt got his idea from his boss.

　　B. Large, flat, black surfaces need to be built in cities.

　　C. The Dutch engineer’ s system has been widely used.

　　D. Heat can also be collected from asphalt roads.

　　[解析]　細節(jié)判斷題。由文章第二段最后一句話可以得出答案。

　　[答案]　D

　　5．For what purpose are the diving pipes used?

　　A. To absorb heat from the sun.

　　B. To store heat for future use.

　　C. To turn solar energy into heat energy.

　　D. To carry heat down below the surface.

　　[解析]　細節(jié)判斷題。由文章第四段第一句話的內(nèi)容可以得出答案。

　　[答案]　D

　　6．From the last paragraph we can learn that________.

　　A. some pipes have to be rearranged in winter

　　B. the system can do more than warming up the building

　　C. the exchangers will pick up heat from the street surface

　　D. less heat may be collected in winter than in summer

　　[解析]　推測判斷題。由文章最后一段最后一句的內(nèi)容可知，這一系統(tǒng)不僅能給樓房供暖，還可以使馬路上的冰雪消融。

　　[答案]　B

　　7．What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?

　　A. What we shall do if the system goes wrong.

　　B. What we shall do if there are no asphalt roads.

　　C. How the system cools the building in summer.
