A

Much has happened since July 3, 1608, when French explorer Samuel de Champlain established a settlement in a place called Kébec ― an Algonquin word meaning where the River narrows. He might not have realized at the time that this day marked the beginning of a permanent French presence in North America, after several unsuccessful attempts.

For people of French descent (血统), all over America, everything points back to Quebec City, recognized as the founding site of French civilization in North America. At one point, Quebec City was at the centre of an empire, New France, which covered all of Eastern Canada and almost half of the current US territory. French possessions (领地) in North America then reached from the Gulf of St Lawrence to the Great Lakes and from Hudson Bay to the Gulf of Mexico.

After having been the capital of France’s colonies in America, and then of Lower Canada, Quebec City became the capital of the province of Quebec in 1867, when the Canadian Confederation came into being. Quebec City has kept growing and prospering continuously until today. And this is why it remains known as the founding site of French North America.

However, this does not mean that Quebec City is a museum town, focused only on its heritage (遗产) and history. On the contrary, it is a modern, people-friendly city that is resolutely turned towards the future.

56. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

       A. The empire of New France once controlled almost all of the America.

B. Quebec City is not only a museum town, but also the capital of France’s colonies.

C. July 3, 2008 will mark the 400th anniversary of the founding of Quebec City.

D. Samuel de Champlain established the empire of New France.

57. From this passage, we can infer that Quebec City ________.

       A. was, is and will be an important and growing city

B. is the biggest French enclave (飞地) in Canada

C. belonged to France before the Canadian Confederation came into being

D. is located in the centre of Canada

58. The main purpose of the passage is to ________.

       A. show us that in history Quebec City was once an important city

B. show us how Quebec City was established

C. tell us that Quebec City is a modern, people-friendly city

D. tell us a brief introduction of Quebec City

B

School is a place that is familiar to everyone. Let’s find out what American students do in school.   

An official dance party is held about twice a year in high schools in the United States. When the final football game is over for the season there is a homecoming party. Sometimes, students select a king from among the football players, and a queen from among the girls. Every student can attend and have fun with the help of their teachers. Sometimes, students, called bookworms, to the surprise of the other students, come to the party in a beautiful dress.
    The most exciting party that students can go to would have to be a dance party. Students attend it in dresses similar to those of Hollywood stars and the atmosphere is comparable to an Oscar Award party. Since such a party is for seniors, students usually stay up the night trying to enjoy their last year in high school.
    In American schools, instead of the teachers going to different rooms, students have their own class schedules (课程表) and go to different classrooms. When a student is away from school, they must have an explanation for being away along with the signature(签名) of a parent. The signed paper is then handed in to the school office. High school drop outs and students being expelled (除名) are not that uncommon in the States. High absences without excuses are one of the reasons why students are expelled from school. American students also enjoy a number of activities out of school like cheerleading (拉拉队), student government and a host of different sports.

59. Whose presence at the homecoming party can make others amazed?

   A. The king and the queen acted by students.      B. The laziest student in study.

   C. The teacher who offers advice.                      D. Students who study hardest.

60. Why do students hold the dance party till the next morning?

   A. Because they would like to dance and sang madly.

   B. Because this is the only chance that they get dressed like film stars. 

   C. Because students make it as exciting as an awarding party of Oscar.

   D. Because this perhaps is the last chance that they can enjoy their school life.

61. According to the passage, American students in school ________.

  A. study in the same classroom                            B. have the same class with each other

  C. attend different classes in different places                D. wait for their teachers in their class

62. What is this passage mainly about?

  A. The organizing of dance parties.                   B. Homecoming party. 

C. How to ask for a leave.                                  D. School life in America.

One possible version:

Today Mr Smith, from Canada gave us a lecture about his country. As the second largest country in the world, Canada covers about a quarter of the world’s land area. But its population is very small, about 32 million. People in Canada mainly speak French and English. The weather in Canada is quite different from area to area. There are many lakes in Canada, which supply it with one third of the world’s fresh water. Canada also has many forests, which make it the biggest producer of paper in the world. Besides, Canada also has lots of beautiful scenery.
