细节理解题。由文中第二部分UBC Varsity Outdoor Club 介绍中“The UBC VOC has also constructed a few backcountry cottages in the Coast Mountains.（UBC VOC在海岸山脉还建造了一些偏僻的村舍。）可知，只有UBC Varsity Outdoor Club提到了为远足者建设了偏远的村舍。故选C项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。由第三部分Pender Harbor Hiking Group中“The Pender Harbor Hiking Group offers hikes scheduled two months in advance, so get on the mailing list or check the website regularly to find a hike that's right for you!”（Pender Harbor远足小组提供提前两个月安排的远足，因此，请进入邮件列表或定期检查网站，以找到适合您的远足！）可知，该俱乐部的远足安排要关注网站或邮件，故选B项。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。由文中Pender Harbor Hiking Group介绍中“Description: The Pender Harbor Hiking Group offers hikes scheduled two months in advance.”（ Pender Harbor远足小组提供提前两个月安排的远足）所以可推知是要提前订票安排的。 A项“Booking in advance.”（提前预定）可知文中并没有提到所有活动都要提前订票。同时该俱乐部介绍中“Membership cost: Free.”（会员费：免费）可知不收取会员费用，故B项“Charging membership fee.”（收取会员费）不对。 文中Yukon Outdoors Club介绍中提到“Description: The club arranges day hikes, backpacking trips, canoe trips, mountain biking, cross-country skiing trips, snowshoeing trips and various workshops for members to gain new skills and valuable. information.”（描述：俱乐部安排一日远足，背包旅行，独木舟旅行，山地自行车，越野滑雪旅行，雪鞋旅行和各种工作坊，供会员获得新技能和宝贵信息。）可知提到了获取技能。其他俱乐部未提及。故C项“Providing skill workshops”（提供技能作坊）不对。根据• UBC Varsity Outdoor Club中的“Description: The UBC Varsity Outdoor Club is a social group that hikes, mountaineers, rock climbs and ice climbs. ”描述:UBC Varsity户外俱乐部是一个社会团体，包括远足、登山、攀岩和攀冰。根据• Vernon Outdoors Club中的“Description: Boasting a membership of close to 200 people, the Vernon Outdoors Club is an active group that enjoys hiking and cycling.”描述:拥有近200名会员，弗农户外俱乐部是一个活跃的团体，喜欢徒步旅行和骑自行车。由此可知，四个俱乐部都组织徒步活动。故选D项。
