A

In such a vast country, it is difficult to narrow down the attractions to a list of "mustsees". However, there are really some activities that shouldn't be missed in Canada.

Take a Train Ride through the Canadian Rockies

It allows visitors to see a lot while sitting back and relaxing on the Rocky Mountain train. The Rocky Mountain Rail Tour Company will take you from Vancouver to Banff and on toCalgary. There is a service called the"Canadian Rockies Highlights"which consists of 5 nights and 6 days on the train. Highlights include some of the most popular tourist attractions in Canada.

Catch a Salmon on the Campbell River

Fishing in Canada is an experience like no other. If you’ve dreamt of catching"the big fish", the Campbell River is the place where your dream could be realized. Set on the east coast of central Vancouver Island, the Campbell River has long been known as the Salmon（大马哈鱼）Capital of the world and some of the best fishing boats in Canada. Yet, fishing is not the only high light of the Campbell River. Tours, day trips workshops and family events also focus on species of wildlife such as bears, eagles, and of course, salmon.

Live It Up at the Carnival（狂欢节）de Quebec

You don't have to buy expensive Canada vacation packages to have a good time in Quebec. The world's biggest winter celebration and third largest carnival, the Carnival de Quebec City, is an attraction not to be missed. The 17-day of festivities, only $7, will make you enjoy over 300 activities and shows. This two and a half week party is held every year beginning in late January. People from all over the world come for the unique winter attractions.

See a Polar Bear in Manitoba

It's not difficult to figure out why the tiny town of Churchill, Monitoba is known as the" polar bear capital of the world". Every year around September, there will be some very special visitors: polar bears. And this is the time we can watch the polar bears as they move between the ice and the land.

For many years the school system in Finland has been very successful. In the PISA survey, Which compares reading, math and science knowledge of 15-year-old around the world, Finland is not only the top

European country but also competes with Asian giants like Shanghai, Singapore and South Korea. But what makes the educational system in this small country so different from others in the western world?

Until the 1960s Finlands school system had been influenced largely by its neighbor, the Soviet Union. Most students left school after six years; some went on to private schools. Only the wealthy ones got a better education. In the middle of the 1960s the Finnish governmentsaw the need to change and modernize their education system if they wanted to be internationally competitive. Lawmakers made a simple decision: a basic school for all the 7-to

16-year-olds. Compulsory education begins at 7. The government makes itpossible for allchildren to attend preschool as well.

Most of Finland's schools get their money from the government. The people who are in charge of the education system, from teachers to officials are trained teachers. Not politicians like in other countries.

Teachers work with their pupils in school as much as possible. When teachers are not with the pupils, they spend a lot of time in schools working on the curriculum and new projects. Schools in Finland are small, at least for international standards. So teachers know every pupil in their school and try everything to succeed with their pupils. That is why dropout rates are low compared to other countries. In contrast to other nations, teachers in Finland are highly respected. Finland selects its teachers very carefully: only talentedstudents go on to a university and receive a masters degree in education. Finland only takes the best to educate its youth.

All Finnish children, whether they come from the city or the country. Whether from a rich or poor family, have the same chances in education. There are not so many differences between the wealthy and poor, as in America or other western European countries. Education experts say that there is very little difference between very good and the worst students. Two thirds of Finnish pupils move on to higher education, the highest rate in the European Union.

24.What did the Finland government do in the middle of the 1960s?

A. They changed the school system

B. They lengthened preschool education

C. They encouraged students to go to private school

D. They learned modern education from neighboring countries

25. We can learn from the text that_______.

A. The children in Finland are educated equally

B. The children in Finland attend preschool at the age of six

C. The school system in Finland is better than that in Singapore

D. The school equipment in Finland doesn't meet international standards

26．The author mentions Shanghai, Singapore and South Korea to show

A. Asian countries are successful in school education

B. The school system in Finland has been very successful

C. Students in these places are better than those in European countries

D. The educational system in Asia is different from that in the western world

27.What can be the best title for the text?

A. What Differences European Schools Have

B. What Good Schools Provide Students with

C. Why Finland’s School System Is Successful

D. Why Finland’s School System Has Changed

California condors are North Americas largest birds, with wing-length of up to 3meters. In the 1980s,

electrical lines and lead poisoning（铅中毒) nearly drove them to dying out. Now electric shock training and medical treatment are helping to rescue these big birds.

In the late 1980s. The last few condors were taken from the wild to be bred（繁殖）. Since 1992, there have been multiple reintroductions to the wild, andthere are now more than 15oflying over California and nearby Arizona. Utah and Baia in Mexico.

Electrical lines have been killing them off. As they go in to rest for the night, they just don't see the power lines, says Bruce Rideout of San Diego Zoo. Their Wings can bridge the gap between lines, resulting in electrocution if they touch two lines at once.

So scientists have come up with a shocking idea all poles, placed in large training areas, teach the birds to stay clear of electrical lines by giving them a painful but not deadly electric shock Before the training was introduced, 66% of set free birds died of electrocution. This has now dropped to 18%.

Lead poisoning has proved more difficult to deal with. When condors eat dead bodies of other animals containing lead, they absorb large quantities of lead. This affects their nervous systems and ability to produce baby birds, and can lead to kidney (肾) failures and death. So condors with high levels of lead are sent to Los Angeles Zoo, Where they are treated with calcium EDTA. A chemical that removes lead from the blood over several days. This Work is

starting to pay off. The annual death rate for adult condors has dropped from 38% in 2000 to 5.4% in 2011.

Rideout's team thinks that the California condors average survival time in the wild is now just under eight years. Although these measures are not effective forever, they are vital for now, he says. They are truly good birds that are worth every effort we put into recovering them.

28. California condors attract researchers interest because they_______.

A. Are active at night

B. Had to be bred in the wild

C. Are found on California

D. Almost died out in the 1980s

29. Researchers have found electrical lines are_______.

A. Blocking condors journey home

B. Big killers of California condors

C. Rest places for condors at night

D. Used to keep condors away

30. According to Paragraph 5, lead poisoning_______.

A. Makes condors too nervous to fly

B. Has little effect on condors' kidneys

C. Can hardly be gotten rid of from condors blood

D. Makes it difficult for condors to produce baby birds

31. The passage shows that______.

A. The average survival time of condors is satisfactory

B. Rideout's research interest lies in electric engineering

C. The efforts to protect condors have brought good results

D. Researchers have found the final answers to the problem

Teens are now less likely to do part time jobs, drink alcohol or go out without their parents than their counterpart 10 or 20 years ago. This generation of teens is delaying the responsibilities and pleasures of adulthood. Some people think that today s teens are more virtuous（品行端正的）and responsible. Others have suggested that today’s teens aren't working because they are simply lazy.

To figure out what's really going on, we should look at these trends with life history theory taken into consideration. A fast life method was the more common parenting approach in the mid-20th century. When fewer labor-saving devices were available and the average woman had four children. The parents needed to

focus on day to day survival. As a result, kids needed to care for themselves sooner. A slow life method on the other hand is more common in times and places where families have fewer children and spend more time on each child's growth and development. When the average family has two children, preparing for college can begin as early as primary schools. The two methods are adaptations to a particular cultural background. So each isn't naturally“good”or “bad”.

Delaying exposure to alcohol, then, could make young adults less prepared to deal with drinking in college. One study found teens who rapidly increased there binge-drinking (酗酒) were more at risk of alcohol dependence than those who learned to drink over a longer period of time. The same might be true of teens who don’t work, drive or go out much in high school. College administrators describe students who can’t do anything without calling their

parents. Employers worry that more young employees lack the ability to work independently.

However, the slow-life method is also likely beneficial as teens are spending more time developing socially and emotionally before they drive, drink alcohol and work for pay. The key is to make sure that teens eventually get the opportunity to develop the skills they will need as adults independence, along with social and decision making skills. For parents, this might mean pushing their teenagers out of the house more.

32 According to the text, teens in the past were more______.

A reliable B. Outgoing C. Intelligent D. Independent

33 What plays a vital role in the trend of teens growing up more slowly?

A.Social standard

B. Cultural changes

C. Educational development

D. Methods of education

34 What does the author advise parents to

A. Spend less time in accompanying their children

B.. Force their children to leave home at an early age

C. Encourage their children to take part in social activities

D. Help their children to get to adulthood as soon as possible

35 Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. How teens develop skills they need in future

B. Teens take no responsibility for what they do

C. Why today’s teens aren't in any hurry to grow

D. Nowadays teens can't make decisions by themselves

Attacking school fears

There are real fears and imagined ones. Most school dangers are imagined_36_ Many students have learned to fear teachers and classrooms, textbooks and tests. So first let’s determine what the fears are, and then attack them in a good problem-solving way.

Fear of failure

Most students have plenty of ability to meet school demands. Most assignments and courses are within reason, more likely to be boring than difficult_37_ Once you have had a few successes, you will begin to overcome this fear.

Fear of teachers

This is clearly an unreal fear. Look around at your fellow students. Some of them will be teachers. As you can see, there is nothing special about them_38_ You can get to know them better out of class. Visit them and chat with them.

Fear of talking in class

Anyone can make a mistake, but an hour later people will not even remember a mistake was made_ 39_ Also keep in mind that your performance in class is almost never the main part of your grade_40_.

This fear can help you watch for real danger. The future can be dangerous. But to let it keep you from trying new things would be to give up life. Your own experience shows that most of the time things work out all right. The more things you try out, the more you will feel at home.

A. Fear of starting out

B. Fear of potential danger

C. Rarely is it lack of ability that makes people fail.

D. This is because they are much more concerned with themselves.
