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.

这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍在卡尔加里可以参加的三个休闲活动
【1】细节理解题。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，卡尔加里民族音乐节（7月25日-28日）在40年前就诞生了，并且从一个草根活动发展为一个有成千上万音乐家，艺术家和爱好者的庆典活动。所以卡尔加里民间音乐节吸引了越来越多的民间音乐爱好者。故选D。
【2】细节理解题。由第四段内容可知，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.”介绍的是城市道路的全面网状系统给散步者和骑自行车者提供了一片都市绿洲和一条环保道路去游览城市街区；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.”介绍的是沿着河边慢步行走或者骑自行车去市区，又或者沿着和平桥散步去探索肯辛顿这个都市村庄；第三句“Alternatively, take in the scenic views and sunshine by rafting(乘筏) down the mighty Bow River instead.”介绍的是可以乘筏顺流而下到伟大的鲍河去欣赏风景和阳光。由此可见，共有三种方式游览卡尔加里这座城市。故选C。
【3】词义猜测题。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，卡尔加里人们对待他们的啤酒就像对待他们的牛排一样认真。所以如果没有一个好的露台啤酒活动,卡尔加里的夏天就不是夏天。所以根据上下文语境，可以判断出划线词的意思是“下划线的短语“a good patio-hopping session”是关于喝啤酒。故选B。
