(People,especially women,have begun to look at travel innew way ineen years.Instead of
waiting for their partners,family or friends to join them in heading out on a new adventure,many women
these days are happily going it alone.
An example is the private Facebook group Solo Female Travelers,which was started by Meg
Jerrard and Mar Pages in 2015.Their plan back then was to "connect women who loved to travel solo".
At first,there were only a few hundred members.Today,nearly 350,000 members from across the globe
are in the group.A photo-sharing site.called Pinterest notes that in 2024,searches for"solo traveling"
have increased by 145%,while a recent survey shows over 59%of travelers plan to travel solo in the
coming year.
Not only women.but men are also going it alone.And people of all ages are planning to leave
literally everything and everyone behind,with some staying not too far from home and others circling
the planet for new explorations."We do an annual survey of our group,and more than 80%of the
members agree that solo travel is a choice,and that the-lack of a travel partner is not a key motivator.
They want more freedom,and they hope.to have a break from routines.Also,they explore the world on
their own wllle relaxing and.aohieving personal growth,"Jerrard explained.
Traditionally,cruise companics (that take adventurers to faraway places always charge
solo travelers who use a cabin.(alone extra money,often resulting in'the travelers paying nearly
the same amount as two people sharing a cabin.But with so many pcople welcoming the idea of solo
travel,that has been onc of the first.things to fall,'as cruise companies rethink their rules.Other travel
providers,such as package tour companies and hotels,have also recognized the movement,making
unique and.detailed changes to satisfy the expectations of solo travelers.
While solo traveling isn't quite perfect yet--think watters who might ignore solo diners,safety
matters,or assumptions from others that"solo travel"means"lonely travel";this new type of travel has
arrived and is here to stay.So,where are you going next on your own?

On September 7,1991,the costliest hailstorm (in Canadian history hit Calgary's southern
suburbs.As a result,.since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year
on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project.Airplanes secd threatening storm cells(风暴单体)with a
chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones.But
farmers in east-central Alberta-downwind of the hail project flights-worry.that precious moisture
(is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.
Norman Stienwand,who farms in that area,has been addressing public meetings on this issue
for years."Basically,the provincial government is letting the insurance companies protect the Calgary-
Edmonton urban area from hail,"Mr.Stienwand says,"but they're increasing drought risk as far east
as Saskatchewan,"
The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss,a cloud physicist who works for
Weather Modification Inc.of Fargo,North Dakota."We affect only a very small percentage of the total
moisture in the air,so we cannot be causing drought,"Dr.Krauss says."In fact,we may be helping
increase the moisture downwind by creating wetter ground."
习(+二)
One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell,a research scientist who just
retired from the University of Oklahoma."In1999.I personally saw significant tomadocsfo
a seeded storm cell in Kansas,"Dr.Doswell says."Does cloud sing create killer storms or reduce
moisture downwind?No one really knows,of course,but the seeding goes on."
Given the degree of doubt,Mr.Stienwand suggests,"It would be wise to stop cloud seeding."In
practice,doubt has had the opposite cffect.Due to the lack of scientific proof concemning their impacts,
no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud-seeding companies.Hencc,private climate
engineering can proceed in.relative legal safety.
8.What does the project aim to do?
A.Conserve moisture in the soil.
B.Prevent the formation of hailstones.
C.Forecast disastrous hailstorms.
D.Investigate chemical use in farming.
9.Who are opposed.to the project?
A.Farmers in east-central Alberta.
B.Managers of insurance companies.
C.Provincial government officials.
D.Residents of Calgary and Edmonton..
10.Why does Dr.Doswell mention the tornadoes he saw in 1999?
A.To compare different kinds of seeding methods.
。
B.To illustrate the development of big hailstorms.
C.To indicate a possible danger of cloud seeding.
D.To show the link between storms and moisture.
11.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Scientific studies have proved Stienwand.right..
B.Private climate engineering is illegal in Canada.
C.The doubt about cloud seeding has disappeared.
D.Cloud-seeding companics will continue to exist.

unique and immersive.It is a way of making your travel arrangements so that you are completing quests

Just a short drive from the CN Tower,Ripley's Aquarium of Canada is a paradise for marine life
enthusiasts.Home to over 16,000 aquatic creatures,including sharks.rays,and sea turtles,the aquarium
features a 97-meter underwater tunnel that lets visitors walk beneath schools of fish.Interactive exhibits
and daily feeding shows make it a hit with children and adults alike.
For animal lovers,the Toronto Zoo is a must-visit.Spanning 287 hectares,it is one of the largest
zoos in the world,housing more than 5.000 animals from over 450 species.The zoo is divided into seven
geographic regions,from the African Savanna to the Arctic Tundra.Visitors can spot polar bears,

Banff National Park:A Wilderness Haven
Located in the Canadian Rockies of Alberta,Banff National Park is Canada's oldest national park
and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.Covering approximately 6,641 square kilometers,it is famous for
its turquoise glacial lakes,snow-capped peaks,and dense forests.Lake Louise,with its emerald-green
waters and Victoria Glacier backdrop,is a postcard-perfect destination for hiking,canoeing,and skiing.
Moraine Lake,nestled in the Valley of the Ten Peaks,is another crowd favorite,especially during
summer when wildflowers carpet the surrounding meadows.
Banff is also a paradise for outdoor activities.In summer,visitors can hike scenic trails,go
mountain biking,or fish in crystal-clear rivers.Winter brings world-class skiing and snowboarding at
Banff Sunshine,Lake Louise Ski Resort,and Mount Norquay.The Icefields Parkway,often called the
"most beautiful drive in the world,"connects Banff to Jasper National Park,offering stunning views of
glaciers,waterfalls,and lakes along the way.
Wildlife Viewing:Respect and Admire
Banff's diverse ecosystems support a rich array of wildlife,making it one of the best places in
Canada for animal encounters.Common species include grizzly bears,black bears,elk,moose,wolves,
and bighorn sheep.The best times to spot wildlife are early momnings and late evenings,when animals
are most active.When viewing wildlife,it is crucial to keep a safe distance-at least 100 meters from
bears and wolves,and 30 meters from elk,deer,and bighomn sheep.Never feed the animals,as this can
disrupt their natural behavior and put both humans and animals at risk.
Toronto's urban attractions and Banff's wild beauty showcasc Canada's unique charm.Whether
you're chasing city lights or exploring mountain trails,Canada promises an unforgettable travel
experience.
