【題目】

The sound of music

The Calgary Folk Music Festival (25-28 July) was born 40 years ago, and has grown from a grassroots event to a celebration that brings together thousands of musicians, artists and fans. The festival is held in Princes Island Park and its relaxed, welcoming atmosphere makes it a great spot in the sun while enjoying some quality folk music.

Want to keep the music playing? Head to Studio Bell, where the new National Music Centre hosts regular exhibitions and concerts.

Green city

Though it’s a relatively short drive to the legendary Rocky Mountains, Calgary itself is also filled in greenery.

A comprehensive network of urban pathways offers walkers and cyclists an urban oasis and an eco-friendly way to get around the city’s neighborhoods. Take a slow walk or cycle downtown along the riverside or walk across the futuristic Peace Bridge to explore the urban village，of Kensington. Alternatively, take in the scenic views and sunshine by rafting(乘筏) down the mighty Bow River instead.

From farm to patio

Calgary is home to a farm-to-table scene. Discover the whitewashed brick walls and nose-to-tail philosophy in the Model Milk, while plant-lined ceilings and a vegetable menu await in bright and airy Ten Foot Henry.

Calgarians take their beer as seriously as their steak and it wouldn’t be summer in Calgary without a good patio-hopping session. Start off at 17th Avenue institution The Ship & Anchor, then make your way to Cold Garden. Don't fancy walking? Explore the city’s craft-beer scene by bike with Urban Pedal Tours.

【解析】

這是一篇應用文。文章主要介紹在卡爾加里可以參加的三個休閑活動

【1】細節(jié)理解題。由第一段第一句“The Calgary Folk Music Festival (25-28 July) was born 40 years ago, and has grown from a grassroots event to a celebration that brings together thousands of musicians, artists and fans.”可知，卡爾加里民族音樂節(jié)（7月25日-28日）在40年前就誕生了，并且從一個草根活動發(fā)展為一個有成千上萬音樂家，藝術家和愛好者的慶典活動。所以卡爾加里民間音樂節(jié)吸引了越來越多的民間音樂愛好者。故選D。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。由第四段內(nèi)容可知，第四段第一句“A comprehensive network of urban pathways offers walkers and cyclists an urban oasis and an eco-friendly way to get around the city’s neighborhoods.”介紹的是城市道路的全面網(wǎng)狀系統(tǒng)給散步者和騎自行車者提供了一片都市綠洲和一條環(huán)保道路去游覽城市街區(qū)；第二句“Take a slow walk or cycle downtown along the riverside or walk across the futuristic Peace Bridge to explore the urban village，of Kensington.”介紹的是沿著河邊慢步行走或者騎自行車去市區(qū)，又或者沿著和平橋散步去探索肯辛頓這個都市村莊；第三句“Alternatively, take in the scenic views and sunshine by rafting(乘筏) down the mighty Bow River instead.”介紹的是可以乘筏順流而下到偉大的鮑河去欣賞風景和陽光。由此可見，共有三種方式游覽卡爾加里這座城市。故選C。

【3】詞義猜測題。由最后一段的第一句“Calgarians take their beer as seriously as their steak and it wouldn’t be summer in Calgary without a good patio-hopping session.”可知，卡爾加里人們對待他們的啤酒就像對待他們的牛排一樣認真。所以如果沒有一個好的露臺啤酒活動,卡爾加里的夏天就不是夏天。所以根據(jù)上下文語境，可以判斷出劃線詞的意思是“下劃線的短語“a good patio-hopping session”是關于喝啤酒。故選B。
