1．Getting lost in vast stretches of nature is the most appealing feature of the world's second-largest nation —Canada.These are the top five must-see destinations to visit in Canada.
Vancouver
Planning a trip to Vancouver won't let you down if you re looking for scenic beauty，a warm climate，a lively atmosphere，and plenty of fun things to do.Situated on the Pacific Ocean's shores，the city is a year-round destination for outdoor enthusiasts.There are mountains to ski just outside the city，beaches all around，and Stanley Park's dense rainforest just a few blocks from downtown's glass skyscrapers.
Niagara Falls
On the border of Canada and the United States，Niagara Falls is a series of three awe-inspiring falls.Horseshoe Falls，located on the Ontario side of the falls，provides the best views and most activities.At night，fireworks light up Niagara Falls in Ontario's Queen Victoria Park，one of the best spots to see the falls from the city.
Montreal
Montreal is a unique destination with a magnificent historic district dating back to the 1600s and a modern city centre with vast underground shopping.You can lose yourself in the ancient streets lined with cobble stones and beautiful old buildings in Old Montreal.The historic streets of Montreal are also lined with shops，hotels and restaurants，making it a popular destination for fashionists.
Whistler
The Whistler resort is the largest and most famous alpine ski destination in North America because of two spectacular mountains，Whistler and Blackcomb.Many world-class ski resorts are located here.In addition，the mountains offer numerous hiking and climbing options.

2．Just over a decade into the 21st century，women's progress can be celebrated across a range of fields.They hold the highest political offices from Thailand to Brazil，Costa Rica to Australia.A woman holds the top spot at the International Monetary Fund；another won the Nobel Prize in economics.Self-made billionaires in Beijing，tech innovators in Silicon Valley，pioneering justices in Ghana—in these and countless other areas，women are leaving their mark.
But hold the applause In Saudi Arabia，women aren't allowed to drive.In Pakistan，1，000 women die in honor killings every year.In the developed world，women lag behind men in pay and political power.The poverty rate among women in the U.S.jye.ai to 14.5% last year.
To measure the state of women's progress，Newsweek ranked 165 countries，looking at five areas that affect women's lives：treatment under the law，workforce participation，political power，and access to education and health care.Analyzing data from the United Nations and the World Economic Forum，among others，and consulting with experts and academics，we measured 28 factors to come up with our rankings.
Countries with the highest scores tend to be clustered in the West，where gender discrimination is against the law，and equal rights are constitutionally enshrined （神圣化）.But there were some surprises.Some otherwise high-ranking countries had relatively low scores for political representation.Canada ranked third overall but 26th in power，behind countries such as Cuba and Burundi.Does this suggest that a woman in a nation's top office translates to better lives for women in general？Not exactly. "Trying to quantify or measure the impact of women in politics is hard because in very few countries have there been enough women in politics to make a difference，" says Anne-Marie Goetz，peace and security adviser for U.N.Women.
Certain conclusions are nonetheless clear.For one thing，our index backs up a simple but profound statement made by Hillary Clinton at the recent Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit. "When we liberate the economic potential of women，we elevate the economic performance of communities，nations，and the world，" she said. "There's a stimulative effect that kicks in when women have greater access to jobs and the economic lives of our countries：Greater political stability.Fewer military conflicts More food.More educational opportunity for children.By harnessing （利用） the economic potential of all women，we boost opportunity for all people."
（1）What does the author think about women's progress so far？
A．It still leaves much to be desired.
B．It is too remarkable to be measured.
C．It has greatly changed women's fate.
D．It is achieved through hard struggle.
（2）In what countries have women made the greatest progress？
A．Where women hold key posts in government.
B．Where women's rights are protected by law.
C．Where women's participation in management is high.
D．Where women enjoy better education and health care.
（3）What does Anne-Marie Goetz think of a woman being in a nation's top office？
A．It does not necessarily raise women's political awareness.
B．It does not guarantee a better life for the nation's women.
C．It enhances women's status.
D．It boosts women's confidence.
（4）What does Hillary Clinton suggest we do to make the world a better place？
A．Give women more political power.
B．Stimulate women's creativity.
C．Allow women access to education.
D．Tap women's economic potential.組卷：1引用：1難度：0.5 -
3．Humans are struggling to contain two major crises：Skyrocketing global temperatures and deep-diving biodiversity.People tend to tackle each problem on its own，but in a new report，50 scientists from around the world argue that treating each crisis alone means missing out on solutions that resolve both.Humans can't solve one without also solving the other.
So what might these solutions look like？For instance，you turn a heavily damaged forest into a national park.As the trees grow back，they would store carbon in their tissues and provide habitat for the return of animals.Rather than planting a single species of tree to balance some factory s carbon emissions （排放物），letting a forest come back naturally will make it more resilient.This is known as a nature-based solution，a campaign that both absorbs carbon and provides an extra ecological or economic benefit.
Preventing humans' attack on ecosystems can also help fight climate change.Even cities can take part in the action.Urban areas turn into "heat islands"，because they absorb the sun's energy during the day and slowly release it at night.Therefore，they are much hotter than surrounding rural areas.Planting more trees cools cities，and provides habitats for birds and shade for humans，which will be ever more critical as global temperatures rise.
The big warning is that nature-based solutions alone can't stop climate change.First and foremost，humans have to dramatically reduce its greenhouse gas emissions.Besides， "governments and factories are becoming aware of the importance of maintaining biodiversity while also fighting climate change，" says Beymer-Farris，from the University of Kentucky.Planting a single species of tree to balance emissions is out，and more effective solutions are increasingly in. "I myself，as a professor who has been working in this for 20 years，I see a lot of hope，because I see a lot of change on the horizon."
（1）What do the underlined words "make it more resilient" in paragraph 2 mean？
A．Help the forest recover easily and quickly.
B．Let the trees grow stronger and taller.
C．Get the ecosystem to become out of balance.
D．Make the solution become more accessible.
（2）How can cities be made cooler according to the text？
A．By planting more trees.
B．By absorbing the sun's energy.
C．By closing down more factories.
D．By providing shade for humans.
（3）How did Beymer-Farris feel about the future of the ecology？
A．Worried.
B．Uncertain.
C．Hopeful.
D．Satisfied.
（4）What is the purpose of writing the passage？
A．To express scientists' concern over climate change.
B．To call on people to protect species and battle global warming.
C．To encourage people to plant a single species of tree.
D．To stress the importance of cutting down carbon emissions.組卷：1引用：1難度：0.5
