To get a sense of how big，various and magical Toronto is，the best place to start is the CN Tower，the tallest free­standing(无支撑物的)building in the world. From this point，visitors can get a bird's­eye view of the city's amazing scenery and unique geography.In addition to being an important center of culture，trade and communication in Canada，Toronto is also a major multi­ethnic city. It has a population of over 4.5 million and its citizens come from countries around the world and from all mannerof ethnic backgrounds. Every day，in most places of the city，a hundred different languages can be heard on the streets，from Hindi to Greek to French. This，perhaps，explains why former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau once said that Canada is really more mosaic(马赛克，镶嵌图案) of cultures and languages than a melting pot. Street signs in Toronto are mostly in English. Weekly and daily newspapers are published in various languages，and the city hosts successful international film festival each September. It is also home to a popular baseball team，the Toronto Blue Jays. Toronto has something for everyone.61．The author wrote this passage to________.A．tell us how Toronto develops from the pastB．introduce some famous sights of TorontoC．draw more tourists to TorontoD．introduce something about Canada62．What can we know from the passage?A．Toronto is in the center of Canada.B．From the top of the CN Tower we can see the whole Toronto.C．The street signs in Toronto are all written in English.D．Toronto is a city with a history of half a century.63．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A．Toronto hosts baseball games every year.B．Newspapers in Canada aren't published only in English.C．We can see people of every colour in Toronto.D．Toronto hosts an international film festival every year.64．The underlined sentence means different cultures and languages in Canada________.A．have developed a lotB．can be easily seen by foreignersC．have been well mixed togetherD．still keep their own characteristics65．How does the author like Toronto?A．The city is worth visiting.B．It's just a common city in CanadaC．There are too many foreigners in the city.D．There aren't many places of interest to visit.BThe fiddler crab (蟹) is a living clock. It indicates(=shows) the time of day by the colour of its skin, which is dark by day and pale by night. The crab’s changing colour follows a regular twenty—four hour plan that exactly matches th e daily rhythm (节奏) of the sun.Does the crab actually keep time, or does its skin simply answer to the sun’s rays, changing colour according to the amount of light strikes it? To find out, biologists kept crabs in a dark room for two months. Even without daylight, the crab’s skin colour continued to change exactly on time.This characteristic (特性) probably developed gradually in answer to the daily rising and setting of the sun, to help protect the crab from sunlight and enemies. After millions of years it has become completely regulated (受控制) inside the living body of the crab.The biologists noticed that once each day the colour of the fiddler crab is especially dark, and that each day this happens fifty minutes later than on the daybefore. From this they discovered that each crab follows not only the rhythm of the sun but also that of the tides (潮水). The crab’s period of greatest darkening is exactly the time of low tide on the beach where it was caught!66. The fiddler crab is like a clock because it changes colour ______.A in a regular 24—hour rhythm B. in answer to the sun’s raysC. at low tideD. every fifty minutes67. The crab’s changing colour ______.A. tells the crab what time it isB. protects the crab from the sunlight and enemiesC. keeps the crab warmD. is of no real use68.

The crab’s colour—changing ability was probably developed ______.A. in the process of evolution (进化)B. over millions of yearsC. by the work of biologistsD. both A and B70. The best title for this selection would be ______.A. The Sun and the TidesB. Discoveries in BiologyC. A scientific StudyD. A Living ClockCA young British sailor was missing at sea yesterday in similar circumstances(情况) to the way his father died five years ago．The dinghy(救生橡皮船)，used to take Richard Smith，21，to his yacht(快艇)，was discovered empty, floating in seas off the Caribbean island.An air and sea search was carried out but he has still not been discovered.Richard’s mother, Bicknell，said from her home in Hampshire，“It’s so much coincidence.Richard always carried a photograph of his father attached to a poem，which included the date of his disappearance.”“Now, it’s very strange because all they have found is Richard’s dinghy.We need to know this time what has happened one way or another.If you know at least you can go through the grieving process(悲痛的过程).”In November 1996，Mr. Smith’s father, Charlie，was sailing in the Tasmen sea between the Australian mainland and the island of Tasmen with his new wife.They lost radio contact with the shore and they, together with their yacht were never seen again，and their disappearance remains a mystery.Richard is described a talented(有才能的)and experienced sailor who has crewed for the champion ocean racer.He had sailed to the。
