【解析】

试题分析:加拿大是典型的移民国家。本文简要讲述加拿大的人口种族的历史变化。

1.C考查形容词辨析。A.famous“出名的”;B.well?known“出名的”;C.known“为人所知的”; D.news“新闻;消息”,而该句句意:“人们‘所知的’加拿大最早的居民是印第安人。”,故该题正确答案为C.

2.D考查介词辨析。A.through “从‘内部’通过/穿过”B.into“进入到…内部”;C.on“在…(的表面)上”; D.across“横穿”,根据该空后(介词的宾语)“the Bering Strait(白令海峡) and Sea”,所以该处句意应是:穿越白令海峡。故正确答案为D.

3.C考查副词辨析。该句句意为:“据说,10,000年前印第安人从东亚穿越白令海峡和大海来到此地。”,“10,000年前”:10,000 ago.故该空正确答案为C.

4.A考查动词(短语)辨析。该句句意:“当欧洲人第一次踏入加拿大时,…”根据语境可知,该处讲的是“到达”加拿大的人,所以排除B.left.根据常识可知,欧洲人来到加拿大时,还没飞机,故选项C.flew to错误。 ship:“用船运”,不符语境。故正确答案为A. reach (vt.)到达。

5.B考查非谓语动词。该处为非谓语作后置定语修饰“areas”,意为“被…覆盖的”:covered by…(表示被动),故正确答案为B.covered by.

6.D考查限定语。 根据语境可知,句意:“当欧洲人第一次到达加拿大时,印第安人都居住在被森林覆盖的地方。只有“一些”的印第安人在大西洋附近的省份居住。”,故正确答案为D.a few.注意尽管该处表示数量并不多,但也没到几乎没有的程度,故不能用few.

7.C考查谓语动词。因为该句主语为people,所以谓语用复数。又因为描述的是过去的事情,故正确答案为C.were.

8.A考查动词辨析。A.crossed“横穿”; B.walked“步行;走;散步”; C.passed“经过;通过;传递”; D.swam“游泳;游”,该句句意:“爱斯基摩人在两千多年、不到三千年之前,他们从亚洲穿越白令海峡(来到加拿大)。”故正确答案为A.

9.B考查名词辨析。A.notes“笔记”; B.records“记录,记载”; C.signs“记号,符号;招牌”; D.speeches“演讲”,该句句意:“很少有他们(当时)迁徙的记载。”故正确答案为B.

10.C考查名词辨析。根据下文“The French built their castles at Quebec City.”可知,从该空开始讲来到加拿大的法国人,故正确答案为 C.French.

11.考查介词短语。in great numbers:“大量地”,该句句意:“他们人数最多地涌入了魁北克和新斯科舍”故该题正确答案为D.numbers.

12.D考查定语从句。该空所填的关系词引导定语从句对先行词Nova Scotia进行修饰和限定,而先行词在定语从句作地点状语,所以选择关系副词where.即正确答案为D.

13.A考查介词。by the time of:“到…时候(为止)”,其修饰的动词一般为完成时。该句句意:“到1763年加拿大成为英国的殖民地时,已经有了大约六万的法国人在加拿大。”,故该题正确答案为A.By .

14.B考查非谓语。该句句子主干为there be句型,该空应将live非谓语化作非限制性定语。故正确答案为B.living (表示主动进行)。

15.C考查连词辨析。该句句意:“在加拿大的英国人并不多,直到美国独立战争驱使大量的英国人北迁。”,所以选择引导时间状语从句的连词 C.until

16.B考查数量表达。表示“数以千计的”(不确定的数量):thousands of,故正确答案为B.

17.D考查介词辨析。该处表示“‘来自于’英格兰、苏格兰和爱尔兰 ”,故选用D.from.

18.A考查动词短语。该句句意:“这些来自于英格兰、苏格兰和爱尔兰的人的后裔目前构成了加拿大的一半人口。”make up:“构成,组成”,而B.be made of “由…组成的” (看得出原材料)C.be made from“由…组成的”(看不出原材料)D.be made by“被…制造”,故该题正确答案为A.

19.C考查名词辨析。“世纪之交”: the turn of the century,故该题正确答案为C.

20.A考查介词辨析。该句句意:“在世纪交替之际,从欧洲到加拿大的人数一直在增加。最多的人‘来自于’德国的中部和东部,捷克,波兰,罗马尼亚和乌克兰。”且come from:“来自于”,故该题正确答案为A.from.

Animal moms are great moms. You might be surprised at some of these moms.

Octopuses

The octopus mother lays about 50,000 eggs. For about 300 days, she stays with the eggs, cleans them and protects them. She does not leave to feed. However, this animal mom dies as soon as the eggs are hatched.

Crocodiles

A crocodile mother puts a lot of time and effort into raising her babies. She starts by building a nest(巢), which she guards for over two months! When the eggs are ready to hatch, the young crocs call out to their mother, who digs them out and helps them hatch. She then carries them in her mouth down to the water, where she will guard them for several weeks or months until they learn to hunt on their own.

Bats

Bats become moms by hanging head up in a cave, giving birth. Catching the youngster before it can fall to the ground below, she puts it in a pouch. Bat moms may carry babies with them when feeding for the first few days. As the little bats get bigger and heavier, moms help them hang on the wall of their caves and return often to feed them. It continues for about three weeks, until the babies are grown up and able to fly on their own.

Koalas

This animal mom gives birth after a pregnancy(怀孕期) of only 35 days. The hairless baby climbs into its mother's pouch and lives there for another five months. When the little koala is between five and eight months old, it leaves the pouch for short periods of time but returns for safety. Once it is too big to return to the pouch, it will climb onto its mother's back and ride there until it is about 12 months old.

I have always known my kids use digital communications equipment a lot. But my cellphone bill last month really grabbed my attention. My son had come up to nearly 2,000 incoming text messages, and had sent nearly as many. Of course, he was out of school for the summer and communicating more with friends from a distance. Nevertheless, he found time to keep a summer job and complete a college course in between all that typing with thumb.

I was even more surprised to learn that my son is normal. "Teenagers with cellphones each send and receive 2,272 text messages a month on average, " Nielsen Mobile said.

Some experts regret that all that keyboard jabber(键盘闲聊) is making our kids stupid, unable to read non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, gestures, posture and other silent signals of mood and attitude. Unlike phones, text messaging doesn't even allow transmission of tone of voice or pauses, says Mark Bauerlein, author called The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future.

Beyond that, though, I'm not sure I see as much harm as critics of this trend. I' ve posted before on how I initially tried to control my kids' texting. But over time, I have seen my son suffer no apparent ill effects, and he gains a big benefit, continuing contact with others.

I don't think texting make kids stupid. It may make them annoying, when they try to text and talk to you at the same time. And it may make them distracted, when buzzing text message interrupt efforts to noodle out a math problem or finish reading for school.

But I don't see texting harming teens' ability to communicate. My son is as accustomed to nonverbal cues as any older members of our family. I have found him more engaged and easier to communicate with from a great distance. because he is constantly available by means of text message and responds with faithfulness and speed.

1.What is Mark Bauerlein ' s attitude to texting?

A. It is convenient for teens to communicate with others.

B. It is likely to cause trouble in understanding each other.

C. It is convenient for teens to text and call at the same time.

D. It will cause damage to the development of teens' intelligence.

2.What would be the best title for this passage?

A. For Teens, Texting Instead of Talking

B. For Parents, Caring Much for Their Kids

C. Disadvantages of Texting

D. The Effect of Communication

3.What does the underlined word "distracted" in the fifth paragraph mean?

A. Confused. B. Absent-minded.

C. Comfortable. D. Bad-tempered.

Frederick M. Hess is the director of education policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute, which is a nonprofit organization that conducts research on many public issues. He says that a long summer vacation doesn’t make sense in today’s world.

Can American students afford to take a summer vacation? In a summer vacation, millions of kids spend valuable time sending messages, watching TV, playing video games and doing shopping in the mall. They will also be putting their academic futures at risk.

Summer vacation once made sense in the past when you didn’t need an education to get a good job. But now things have changed. For today’s students, academic skills are important to students’ future success, but such skills are affected in the summertime. Many nations don’t give kids an American-style summer vacation. They offer no more than seven consecutive(连续的) weeks of vacation. Most American school districts offer up to thirteen weeks. To compete in the global marketplace, Americans must be prepared to go up against international competitors.

Summer vacation also causes challenges for today’s families. In the 1960s, more than 60% of families had a stay-at-home Mom. Now two-thirds of American children live in households where every adult works. For these families, summer vacation can be more burden than break. Someone must watch the kids.

But the biggest problem may be how summer vacation hurts academic achievement. Researchers have found that disadvantaged students lose significant ground in the summertime.

A longer school year does not have to be an invitation to hard boring work. Rather, it should allow time-pressed teachers to conduct richer and more imaginative lessons. Schools would have more time to devote to athletics, languages, music and the arts. Summer vacation can be a grand thing. But in the 21st century, it may also be outdated.
