Banff National Park: A Magical Winter Destination
Banff National Park turns into a magical winter destination, offering world-class skiing, breathtaking frozen waterfalls, and impressive castle-like hotels. Even with its global fame, the park’s winter beauty truly goes beyond expectations. The combination of ice, snow, and amazing mountain scenery creates a uniquely peaceful and charming atmosphere.
Winter Season & Events
Winter lasts from November to May, making it ideal for downhill skiing, snowboarding, and ice climbing. The best time for ice climbing is between December and February, while the best snow conditions for skiing are typically in February or March. Visitors can also enjoy the annual SnowDays Festival, which features ice carving and other special events on frozen Lake Louise.
The park’s three major ski areas — Banff Sunshine, Lake Louise Ski Resort, and Mt. Norquay — welcome skiers and snowboarders of all levels. Other popular winter activities include cross-country skiing, ice skating on Lake Louise, snowshoeing, and dog sledding. After dark, the Banff Gondola offers “Nightrise” — a multimedia experience with lights and sound at the top of Sulphur Mountain.
Planning Your Visit
Both the town of Banff and Lake Louise are located within the national park, so all visitors must buy a park pass. Getting to the park is convenient, with bus services available from Calgary Airport. Within Banff, the Roam Public Transit system and free ski buses make transportation easy.

Finnish Lapland, in the far north of Europe, is home to some 180,000 people and around 200,000 reindeer (驯鹿). The animals live wild but each one has an owner, identified by a mark on its ear. Anne Ollila, 50, one of 4,000 such owners, works in the Finnish part of this region with her husband and two adult sons and their families. They farm the animals mainly for meat, but reindeer tourism has also become an important source of income.
Ollila lives 80 kilometres inside the Arctic Circle, an hour from Lapland’s capital city, Rovaniemi, and seven kilometres from her nearest neighbour. Summer days — when the reindeer raisers earmark newborn reindeer — are long and in June the sun never sets. At that time Ollila sleeps during the day and walks up to 20 kilometres a night through the forest, making the most of the cooler temperatures to do her work but having to endure large groups of insects along the way.
In deepest winter, there is little daylight. Many grasslands are frozen and the reindeer move into the forest for protection against wolves and golden eagles — the birds can kill an adult reindeer.
Ollila and her family offer tourists reindeer experiences through their company Reindeer Journey. Visitors can get close to the animals in the wild or at their farm, watching them being trained to pull sledges (雪橇) or take a sleigh ride.
“Reindeer are very smart animals,” Ollila, says. “They have different personalities, and some are very funny.” One of her favourites is Rocky, named after the movie boxing legend. “He’s very curious and always in trouble,” she says. “He once got himself stuck in tree branches and had to be lifted out, and he has been known to walk off with his owners’ drying underwear.”
Ollila gave up her job as a sociology researcher at the University of Lapland in 2010 to devote herself to raising reindeer. “I love the environment, the animals and the freedom,” she says. “Also, I have a sense of belonging to something bigger than me, to a way of life through the generations.”
4. What does the underlined word “endure” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Go away with. B. Catch up with. C. Put up with. D. Look forward to.
5 Why do the reindeer move into the forest in winter according to the text?
A. To get earmarked. B. To find their owners.
C. To avoid cold temperatures. D. To protect themselves.
6. What does Ollila think of Rocky?
A. He is foolish. B. He is a troublemaker.
C. He is interested in planting trees. D. He is a famous filmmaker.
7. What can we infer about Ollila from the last paragraph?
A. She has a deep affection for nature.
B. She has long been tired of raising reindeer.
C. She has been a sociology researcher since 2010.
D. She had no chance to receive a college education.

It is commonly believed that we understand our dogs’ emotions, often interpreting (解读) a waving tail as happiness or whimpering (呜咽) as sadness. However, groundbreaking research from Arizona State University shows that dog owners frequently misinterpret their pets’ feelings by projecting human emotions onto them rather than accurately reading their behavioral signals.
Dogs communicate primarily through body language, facial expressions, and sounds rather than words. According to researchers Holly Molinaro and Clive Wynne, humans tend to judge a dog’s emotional state based on situational context rather than the animal’s actual behavior. To test this idea, they conducted innovative experiments in which participants were shown videos, of dogs in various situations—both positive (such as receiving treats) and negative (such as being told off). In some videos, the background was digitally changed to go against the dog’s behavior. The striking results demonstrated that participants relied more on context rather than the dog’s actual actions when judging its emotions.
One of the most common misinterpretations involves the “guilty look”. What owners typically interpret as guilt is actually a fear or submission (服从) response to the owner’s tone or body language, not an understanding of wrongdoing. This fundamental error arises from anthropomorphism—the human tendency to put our own emotions onto animals. Molinaro emphasizes that this misinterpretation can significantly impact training effectiveness and the overall human-dog relationship.
To interpret dogs’ emotions more accurately, owners should focus on individual behavioral signs rather than situational context or human-based assumptions. Researchers recommend developing awareness of our limitations and learning to observe each dog’s unique signals more carefully. Taking extra time to properly read a dog’s body. language—rather than making quick judgments based on the situation—can greatly improve communication and strengthen the human-dog connection.
Ultimately, recognizing our built-in blind spots and devoting time to understanding dogs’ real emotional expressions through patient observation are key steps for building deeper, more meaningful, and more trusting relationships with our four-legged friends.
8. What did Molinaro and Wynne do in their experiment?
A. They studied various animals in given conditions.
B. They showed participants videos of dogs.
C. They trained dogs to react to positive situations.
D. They recorded dogs’ sounds in different contexts.
9. Which example from the text illustrates the concept of anthropomorphism?
A. Owners tracking dogs’ everyday behaviors.
B. Dogs communicating through body language.
C. The “guilty look” being misinterpreted as guilt.
D. Owners improving training effectiveness for dogs.
10. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 4?
A. Offer some advice for dog owners. B. Summarize the previous paragraphs.
C. Add some background information. D. Introduce a new topic for discussion.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A Dogs’ Emotions Are Often Misunderstood.
B. The Effectiveness of Dog Training Methods.
C. Human-Dog Communication Relies on Treats.
D. Innovative Experiments in Dog Behavior Research.
D
The rise of AI (artificial intelligence) music creators has brought fresh attention to the future of the music industry. Unlike traditional musicians who depend on instruments, creators such as Oliver McCann use AI chatbots to produce music. Despite lacking musical talent or background, he creates songs in various styles. After one of his tracks hit 3 million streams (播放量), McCann signed with a record label, becoming the first AI-created artist to land such a contract (合同).
Tools like Suno and Udio are driving a new wave of AI-made music, with fully AI-produced group Velvet Sundown — now popular online — serving as a striking example. This change not only makes music creation easier for everyone but also raises worries about mass-produced low-quality content and the risk of shaking up the industry.
Generative AI is set to reshape music, yet its impact on the $29.6 billion global recorded music market remains unclear. Data from music streaming service Deezer shows that AI-made songs account for 18% of daily uploads but represent only a tiny share of total streams.
The technology has also divided the music community. Many artists and labels fear copyright infringement (侵权) and the devaluation of human creativity, with major companies like Sony, Universal and Warner bringing legal claims against Suno and Udio, and over 1,000 musicians protesting proposed AI-related law changes in the UK. However, other figures, like William and Timbaland, have welcomed AI.
Some users draw comparisons between this criticism and past doubts about synthesizers (electronic instruments). Scott Smith, who leads AI band Pulse Empire, views AI as just another tool, and both he and McCann stress the effort needed to improve AI outputs — sometimes requiring dozens of attempts to get a satisfying song. While AI can write songs, users often find them unoriginal and prefer creating their own.
Experts believe AI could enable anyone to produce a hit, significantly lowering barriers to music production. However, legal uncertainties surrounding copyright have created a “Wild West” atmosphere, and as AI gains broader acceptance, it may soon compete on music charts, unlocking new creative possibilities for people worldwide.
12. What does the author want to show by mentioning Oliver McCann in paragraph 1?
A. AI music creators can achieve success.
B. He has musical talent and background.
C. Traditional musicians are losing their jobs.
D AI chatbots can’t make various music styles.
13. What can we infer about AI music from paragraph 3?
A. It takes a large share of total streams. B. It pushes global music market growth.
C. Its copyright problems have been solved. D. It is not widely accepted by audiences.
14. What conclusion can be drawn from paragraph 4?
A. AI music has already topped global charts.
B. Doubts about synthesizers were reasonable.
C. Not all in the music field are against AI music.
D. The UK has passed laws limiting AI music.
15. Which statement would Scott Smith agree with?
A. AI could produce perfect music. B. AI only plays a supportive role.
C. New tools hurt musical creativity. D. Electronic instruments are outdated.

One sunny afternoon 8-year-old Leo was running after a colorful butterfly around the neighborhood. He laughed as he ran faster, his eyes fixed on the moving wings. He was so caught up in the game that he didn’t notice where he was going. Near the neighbor’s yard, he tripped over a small stone and crashed right into Mrs. Lee’s potted sunflowers — her favorite ones!
The pot broke into pieces, and soil spread all over the path. Leo froze, his laughter gone in a second. Mrs. Lee was always so nice to him — she’d even given him a tiny sunflower plant last spring. He knelt down and tried to put the flowers and soil back into the broken pot, but only made it worse and got his hands all dirty.
He was so scared he’d ruined her hard work that he stepped back, his heart beating fast. He looked at her door, half hoping she hadn’t seen it and half wishing she would come out so he could say sorry right away. However, scared of what Mrs. Lee might say, he turned and ran home as fast as he could. When he pushed open the door, he didn’t even take off his shoes — he just ran to his room and sat on the bed, hands covering his face.
After a few minutes, his mom Clara knocked softly on his door. “Leo? You’re home early, and you ran in so fast. Are you okay?” She eased the door open and saw him sitting with his head down. She walked over and sat next to him, putting a hand on his back. “You look upset. What’s wrong, sweetie?” she asked.
Leo took a deep breath and then told his mom what had happened with tears in his eyes. His mom hugged him gently and said, “It’s okay to make mistakes, but we need to take responsibility.” She took out a new pot and some fresh soil, and then held Leo’s hand. “Let’s go and say sorry and fix it together.”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Leo thought for a while and nodded.

Finnish Lapland, in the far north of Europe, is home to some 180,000 people and around 200,000 reindeer (驯鹿). The animals live wild but each one has an owner, identified by a mark on its ear. Anne Ollila, 50, one of 4,000 such owners, works in the Finnish part of this region with her husband and two adult sons and their families. They farm the animals mainly for meat, but reindeer tourism has also become an important source of income.
Ollila lives 80 kilometres inside the Arctic Circle, an hour from Lapland’s capital city, Rovaniemi, and seven kilometres from her nearest neighbour. Summer days — when the reindeer raisers earmark newborn reindeer — are long and in June the sun never sets. At that time Ollila sleeps during the day and walks up to 20 kilometres a night through the forest, making the most of the cooler temperatures to do her work but having to endure large groups of insects along the way.
In deepest winter, there is little daylight. Many grasslands are frozen and the reindeer move into the forest for protection against wolves and golden eagles — the birds can kill an adult reindeer.
Ollila and her family offer tourists reindeer experiences through their company Reindeer Journey. Visitors can get close to the animals in the wild or at their farm, watching them being trained to pull sledges (雪橇) or take a sleigh ride.
“Reindeer are very smart animals,” Ollila, says. “They have different personalities, and some are very funny.” One of her favourites is Rocky, named after the movie boxing legend. “He’s very curious and always in trouble,” she says. “He once got himself stuck in tree branches and had to be lifted out, and he has been known to walk off with his owners’ drying underwear.”
Ollila gave up her job as a sociology researcher at the University of Lapland in 2010 to devote herself to raising reindeer. “I love the environment, the animals and the freedom,” she says. “Also, I have a sense of belonging to something bigger than me, to a way of life through the generations.”
4. What does the underlined word “endure” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Go away with. B. Catch up with. C. Put up with. D. Look forward to.
5 Why do the reindeer move into the forest in winter according to the text?
A. To get earmarked. B. To find their owners.
C. To avoid cold temperatures. D. To protect themselves.
6. What does Ollila think of Rocky?
A. He is foolish. B. He is a troublemaker.
C. He is interested in planting trees. D. He is a famous filmmaker.
7. What can we infer about Ollila from the last paragraph?
A. She has a deep affection for nature.
B. She has long been tired of raising reindeer.
C. She has been a sociology researcher since 2010.
D. She had no chance to receive a college education.

It is commonly believed that we understand our dogs’ emotions, often interpreting (解读) a waving tail as happiness or whimpering (呜咽) as sadness. However, groundbreaking research from Arizona State University shows that dog owners frequently misinterpret their pets’ feelings by projecting human emotions onto them rather than accurately reading their behavioral signals.
Dogs communicate primarily through body language, facial expressions, and sounds rather than words. According to researchers Holly Molinaro and Clive Wynne, humans tend to judge a dog’s emotional state based on situational context rather than the animal’s actual behavior. To test this idea, they conducted innovative experiments in which participants were shown videos, of dogs in various situations—both positive (such as receiving treats) and negative (such as being told off). In some videos, the background was digitally changed to go against the dog’s behavior. The striking results demonstrated that participants relied more on context rather than the dog’s actual actions when judging its emotions.
One of the most common misinterpretations involves the “guilty look”. What owners typically interpret as guilt is actually a fear or submission (服从) response to the owner’s tone or body language, not an understanding of wrongdoing. This fundamental error arises from anthropomorphism—the human tendency to put our own emotions onto animals. Molinaro emphasizes that this misinterpretation can significantly impact training effectiveness and the overall human-dog relationship.
To interpret dogs’ emotions more accurately, owners should focus on individual behavioral signs rather than situational context or human-based assumptions. Researchers recommend developing awareness of our limitations and learning to observe each dog’s unique signals more carefully. Taking extra time to properly read a dog’s body. language—rather than making quick judgments based on the situation—can greatly improve communication and strengthen the human-dog connection.
Ultimately, recognizing our built-in blind spots and devoting time to understanding dogs’ real emotional expressions through patient observation are key steps for building deeper, more meaningful, and more trusting relationships with our four-legged friends.
8. What did Molinaro and Wynne do in their experiment?
A. They studied various animals in given conditions.
B. They showed participants videos of dogs.
C. They trained dogs to react to positive situations.
D. They recorded dogs’ sounds in different contexts.
9. Which example from the text illustrates the concept of anthropomorphism?
A. Owners tracking dogs’ everyday behaviors.
B. Dogs communicating through body language.
C. The “guilty look” being misinterpreted as guilt.
D. Owners improving training effectiveness for dogs.
10. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 4?
A. Offer some advice for dog owners. B. Summarize the previous paragraphs.
C. Add some background information. D. Introduce a new topic for discussion.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A Dogs’ Emotions Are Often Misunderstood.
B. The Effectiveness of Dog Training Methods.
C. Human-Dog Communication Relies on Treats.
D. Innovative Experiments in Dog Behavior Research.

The rise of AI (artificial intelligence) music creators has brought fresh attention to the future of the music industry. Unlike traditional musicians who depend on instruments, creators such as Oliver McCann use AI chatbots to produce music. Despite lacking musical talent or background, he creates songs in various styles. After one of his tracks hit 3 million streams (播放量), McCann signed with a record label, becoming the first AI-created artist to land such a contract (合同).
Tools like Suno and Udio are driving a new wave of AI-made music, with fully AI-produced group Velvet Sundown — now popular online — serving as a striking example. This change not only makes music creation easier for everyone but also raises worries about mass-produced low-quality content and the risk of shaking up the industry.
Generative AI is set to reshape music, yet its impact on the $29.6 billion global recorded music market remains unclear. Data from music streaming service Deezer shows that AI-made songs account for 18% of daily uploads but represent only a tiny share of total streams.
The technology has also divided the music community. Many artists and labels fear copyright infringement (侵权) and the devaluation of human creativity, with major companies like Sony, Universal and Warner bringing legal claims against Suno and Udio, and over 1,000 musicians protesting proposed AI-related law changes in the UK. However, other figures, like William and Timbaland, have welcomed AI.
Some users draw comparisons between this criticism and past doubts about synthesizers (electronic instruments). Scott Smith, who leads AI band Pulse Empire, views AI as just another tool, and both he and McCann stress the effort needed to improve AI outputs — sometimes requiring dozens of attempts to get a satisfying song. While AI can write songs, users often find them unoriginal and prefer creating their own.
Experts believe AI could enable anyone to produce a hit, significantly lowering barriers to music production. However, legal uncertainties surrounding copyright have created a “Wild West” atmosphere, and as AI gains broader acceptance, it may soon compete on music charts, unlocking new creative possibilities for people worldwide.
12. What does the author want to show by mentioning Oliver McCann in paragraph 1?
A. AI music creators can achieve success.
B. He has musical talent and background.
C. Traditional musicians are losing their jobs.
D AI chatbots can’t make various music styles.
13. What can we infer about AI music from paragraph 3?
A. It takes a large share of total streams. B. It pushes global music market growth.
C. Its copyright problems have been solved. D. It is not widely accepted by audiences.
14. What conclusion can be drawn from paragraph 4?
A. AI music has already topped global charts.
B. Doubts about synthesizers were reasonable.
C. Not all in the music field are against AI music.
D. The UK has passed laws limiting AI music.
15. Which statement would Scott Smith agree with?
A. AI could produce perfect music. B. AI only plays a supportive role.
C. New tools hurt musical creativity. D. Electronic instruments are outdated.

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。
One sunny afternoon 8-year-old Leo was running after a colorful butterfly around the neighborhood. He laughed as he ran faster, his eyes fixed on the moving wings. He was so caught up in the game that he didn’t notice where he was going. Near the neighbor’s yard, he tripped over a small stone and crashed right into Mrs. Lee’s potted sunflowers — her favorite ones!
The pot broke into pieces, and soil spread all over the path. Leo froze, his laughter gone in a second. Mrs. Lee was always so nice to him — she’d even given him a tiny sunflower plant last spring. He knelt down and tried to put the flowers and soil back into the broken pot, but only made it worse and got his hands all dirty.
He was so scared he’d ruined her hard work that he stepped back, his heart beating fast. He looked at her door, half hoping she hadn’t seen it and half wishing she would come out so he could say sorry right away. However, scared of what Mrs. Lee might say, he turned and ran home as fast as he could. When he pushed open the door, he didn’t even take off his shoes — he just ran to his room and sat on the bed, hands covering his face.
After a few minutes, his mom Clara knocked softly on his door. “Leo? You’re home early, and you ran in so fast. Are you okay?” She eased the door open and saw him sitting with his head down. She walked over and sat next to him, putting a hand on his back. “You look upset. What’s wrong, sweetie?” she asked.
Leo took a deep breath and then told his mom what had happened with tears in his eyes. His mom hugged him gently and said, “It’s okay to make mistakes, but we need to take responsibility.” She took out a new pot and some fresh soil, and then held Leo’s hand. “Let’s go and say sorry and fix it together.”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Leo thought for a while and nodded.

【答案】 Leo thought for a while and nodded. With his mom’s reassuring hand in his, he took a deep breath to steady his nerves. Together, they gathered the scattered soil and carefully picked up the broken pieces of the pot. As they walked to Mrs. Lee’s house, Leo’s heart pounded with a mix of fear and anticipation. When they reached the door, his mom gave him an encouraging squeeze. Leo knocked softly, and when Mrs. Lee answered, he looked up, his eyes brimming with sincerity. “Mrs. Lee, I’m really sorry for breaking your sunflowers. I brought a new pot and some soil to fix it,” he said, holding out the items.
To his surprise, Mrs. Lee’s face softened into a smile. She gently took the pot and soil from Leo’s hands and said, “Oh, Leo, it’s the thought that counts. I’m so glad you came to say sorry. Accidents happen, but it’s how we deal with them that matters.” She then invited them inside and showed Leo how to properly replant the sunflowers. As they worked together, Mrs. Lee shared stories about her own childhood mishaps and how she learned from them. Leo listened intently, feeling a sense of relief wash over him. By the time they finished, the sunflowers were back in their new pot, looking as cheerful as ever. Leo left Mrs. Lee’s house with a lighter heart, knowing he had done the right thing.
