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 local 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.
True 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 pleasure work for your Fight in the snow with your kids, walk beside a stream or climb to a high place and admire the view.

小題2:B
小題3:C

小題1:細(xì)節(jié)把握題。由第五段“Banff’s backcountry paths access a wilderness world of silence and matchless beauty—cross country skis and snowshoes provide the means.”可知本題答案為A。
小題2:細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。由第六段“Wildlife watching also creates satisfying memories.”可知B項(xiàng)說法正確。A項(xiàng)說法太絕對，沒有事實(shí)根據(jù)。由第四段“You can rent skates in Banff or at the sport shop in the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise hotel.”和第五段“Banff sport shops rent equipment and clothes, or join an organized tour.”可知游客不必自帶運(yùn)動器具，故C項(xiàng)說法不對。D項(xiàng)無從考證。
小題3:推理判斷題。本文是一篇旅游景點(diǎn)和項(xiàng)目介紹的說明文。其目的當(dāng)然是向游客介紹Banff的游覽活動了，故正確答案為C。A項(xiàng)拔高了主題，B、D兩項(xiàng)以偏概全。

Tourism has become one of the most significant forces for change in the world today.

It is a phenomenon that increasingly demands attention.
Tourism Geography explores the factors that have encouraged the development of both domestic and international forms of tourism. The differing economic, environmental and socio-cultural impacts that tourism may receive are examined, together with a consideration of ways in which planning for tourism can assist in the regulation of development and produce many forms of tourism. Drawing on case studies from across the world, the book shows how geographic opinions can inform and illuminate  the study of tourism, and offers a review of established geographies of tourism to show how new patterns in the production and consumption of tourist places are fashioning the new tourism geographies of the twenty-first century.
