AI picked up my two best friends and we were off on a road trip. I had just returned to America from a year abroad in China. So, naturally I wanted to take a trip to Canada.Montreal, the second largest city in Canada, is a four-hour drive from my home in New Hampshire. We felt a thrill as we crossed the border into Canada. It was the first time that I had ever driven across an international border. We turned on the radio to try and find some Canadian stations.After dropping off our bags at our hotel, we were immediately walking down the famous Saint Catherine Street. While we walked, two things surprised us: how cold it was and how well everyone dressed. The streets of Montreal are like a fashion show. Both men and women look like they stepped out of the pages of a magazine.All of that fashion has to keep them warm since Montreal is so cold. Last year it broke the record for the most snowfall in North America. To hide from the cold we went into a diner because we wanted to order poutine, a very popular snack in Montreal. It is French fries covered in cheese and brown gravy（肉汁）. It is delicious.However, we had a hard time ordering the dish since the official language of Montreal is French. It is actually the fifth largest French-speaking city in the world. But since almost the rest of Canadians speak English, plenty of people were there to help.We spent the rest of the weekend going to many historical churches and monuments in Montreal. But at night we’d head to the very modern dance clubs and bars. Montreal is a city that sits between the past and the future and the traveller can choose whichever direction he wants to go.1. Which of the following can NOT be concluded from Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4?A. The author and his friends couldn't wait to explore the city.B. The author wasn’t used to the weather of Montreal.C. The citizens from Montreal care much about what they wear.D. Montreal often holds fashion shows.2. What can we infer from the passage?A. The author often went to China for a visit.B. The people they met in the diner were kind and helpful.C. All the people in the diner were locals.D. The author went to Montreal on business.3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The author listened to Canadian radio programmes and chose their first stop as advised.B. The author took a trip to Montreal—the third largest city in Canada.C. Montreal broke the record for the most snowfall in the world last year.D. Montreal is a city which is both traditional and modern.BCities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness（荒野）. But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warning. An avalanche（雪崩）once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go—to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City—its present population is 762.4. What attracted the early settlers to New York City?A. Its business culture.B. Its small population.C. Its geographical position.D. Its favourable climate.5. What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson?A. Two-thirds of them stayed there.B. One out of five people got rich.C. Almost everyone gave up.D. Half of them died.6. What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson?A. They found the city too crowded.B. They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.C. They were unable to stand the winter.D. They were short of food.7. What is the text mainly about?A. The rise and fall of a city.B. The gold rush in Canada.C. Journeys into the wilderness.D. Tourism in Dawson.CDon’t go to Kauai. Go to any of the other Hawaiian Islands —Maui, Lanai, the Big Island —but leave Kauai for us. The weather in Kauai is so unpredictable that sometimes it rains all day —in fact, it’s the second-wettest spot on the earth. Yes, there are giant double rainbows all the time, and the sunlight through the clouds is magical. But if you are not interested in these, go somewhere else. You just can’t control nature on Kauai, and who wants to surrender to nature when you could be at a fine hotel, lying in a comfortable chair next to a swimming pool, withfood served upon request?So what if Kauai produces surf champions the way Texas produces cowboys? Most of is 300 white-sand beaches are unmarked. Unless you connect with the local people, the hidden spots are hard to find. While Hanalei is the most beautiful town you’ve ever dreamed of, you can forget about discos and clubs. Worse, it doesn’t have one single four-star restaurant. What it does have is the original drive-through places where you pass by a rambutan tree（红毛丹树）, and pick a piece of fruit.Shopping in Kauai? Forget it —unless you are interested in shell necklaces and beautifully carved wood bowls. Kauai is not about pampering. It’s about going natural and finding the nature within you. It’s a do-it-yourself place that offers walking along the coast, driving and swimming in the Pacific Ocean, and lying on the beach.Don’t go to Kauai unless you have a lot of time, because there’s only one road, which can be slightly dull. It winds through the beautiful scenery of waterfalls, rivers flowing into the ocean, and taro（芋头）fields. You have no choice but to look at everything, because the speed limit is 35 m. p. h.If you’re not interested in color, don’t bother with Kauai, because that’s what you get —red roads, blue oceans, and a hundred different shades of green. It’s like diving on land. Many people in Kauai believe that this is Lemuria —a lost island in the Atlantic. Can you imagine? Those Hawaiians, surfers, New Agers, and people who love nature and beauty and want a different quality of life —what do they know, anyway? Forget about it —you’re not going to like it. Go somewhere else. Leave Kauai for us.8. After reading the text, we come to know that it is ________.A. a piece of shocking newsB. an exciting storyC. an angry complaint about a tourist attractionD. a moving advertisement9. It can be learned from the text that ________.A. Kauai is an island near the Hawaiian IslandsB. Kauai is another name of the Hawaiian IslandsC. Kauai is one of the Hawaiian IslandsD. Kauai doesn’t belong to the Hawaiian Islands10. Which of the following statements is false?A. Many more people will probably come to Kauai after reading the passage.B. You can practise in Kauai if you want to win a championship in surfing.C. The weather in Kauai is changeable.D. In Kauai there are top-class hotels where food is served upon request.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AOur new house in Venice is by the side of the little San Cassian canal and a smallsquare of the same name. We have a door which leads onto the street and two entrances from the water. One runs under a rounded arch (拱门) into the ground floor of the house, which, as is customary in the city, is used instead of a cellar for storing things. The second is used for our business activities and it is located in another building which has three floors.The house is almost 200 years old. It has beautiful arched windows and green－painted shutters to keep out the cruel summer heat. When I lie in bed at night, I can hear the songs of the passing gondoliers and the conversations in the square nearby. I understand why Uncle Leo runs his business here. The prices are not too high. The location of the house is near the city centre and easy to find. Besides, the printing trade has many roots in this area of Venice, even if some of the old publishers from the area are no longer there.Venice is like a large copy of our old library at home in Spain, full of dark corners and unexpected surprises, some very close to me. Last night, while searching in the corners of the house, I found a single copy of Aristotle's Poetics, published in the city in 1502. I raced to Uncle Leo with my discovery and a smile almost appeared on his face. “A find, boy! This'll fetch good money when I sell it down in the market.”“May I read a little first, sir？” I asked, feeling worried. Leo has a frightening manner at times.“Books are for selling, not reading，” he repl ied immediately. But at least I had it for the night, since the dealers were by that time closed.21．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A．A cellar. B．An arch.C．A floor. D．An entrance.22．What do we know about the author's house in Venice?A．It has a long history.B．It's in a very bad location.C．It has an underground storeroom.D．It can be very hot in the summer.23．What does the discovery of the book show about Uncle Leo?A．He has problems with money.B．He has a good sense of humour.C．His main interest is making money.D．His manner of dealing with people is frightening.BKangaroo Island is more famous for what it hasn't got than what it has. Unlike mainland Australia, rabbits and foxes were never introduced, so the local wildlife has less competition for survival. Another thing the island doesn't have is something a Scottish friend once called, “The Way of the Island”. There is no sense of being on the island; in many places, you can climb to a high point and see nothing but bushes in any direction.That catches many visitors out when they arrive with the idea of walking or cycling around the island. It's really too big for that. There is little in the way of public transport, and the most practical ways to get around are to sign up for an organised tour or hire a car.The island's main road, the Playford Highway, heads westward from Nepean Bay until it meets the West End Highway in the middle of nowhere. The West End Highway heads south；the Playford Highway continues westward as a dirt road to Cape Borda, where there is a lighthouse, a few former light keepers' cottages, a National Park Visitor Centre and nothing else. Much of the island is farmland；lamb and beef from Kangaroo Island are especially prized. Fruit is also a major export, but the grapes in the vineyards (葡萄园) are turned into very acceptable wine first.19 National Parks and Conservation Areas cover over 30% of the island's area, and the biggest of them lies to the southwest of the island, where the Finders Chase National Park covers 32, 600 hectares of bush land. Entry is by permit only, which we bought at the park entrance at Rocky River. There, we wondered if the park authorities had the wildlife trained, because we saw a family of kangaroos right in the car park by the park office, but they only appeared after we paid the entrance fee!24．Why is the wildlife on Kangaroo Island more likely to survive?A．Because there are no rabbits or foxes on the island.B．Because rabbits and foxes are less competitive species.C．Because nobody lives on the island.D．Because the island is famous for its bushes.25．What can you find at Cape Borda?A．The Playford Highway.B．The West End Highway.C．A few vineyards.D．Some former light keepers' cottages.26．The author and his family saw a family of kangaroos at the Flinders Chase National Park after they ________.A．talked to the park authoritiesB．paid the entrance feeC．went into the park officeD．arrived at Rocky RiverCIt all started a few years ago in the quiet village of Mollington after a number of burglaries. Those living in the village came up with the idea that they themselves could keep an eye on their neighbours' property while they were away on holiday. Since then, with the help of the government and police, more than 50,000 “Neighbourhood Watch” schemes have been set up in the UK.The object of each “Watch” group is to prevent things like this from happening again in any street or area. Each villager who is a member of the scheme agrees to do their best to stop anyone stealing something in the village. Everything is done calmly and carefully—it is the police who check out each report and find out what is happening. Villagers who are part of the group are not supposed to act as police or put themselves in any danger.When a new “Neighbourhood Watch” scheme is set up in an area, the first thing people notice is the large, brightly coloured “Neighbourhood Watch” board. This is a real warning to most burglars, because very few of them will take a chance of breaking into someone's house if they know that there is a high risk of being seen by neighbours keeping a lookout. Burglars also know that people who are part of the “Neighbourhood Watch” schemes are more likely to have fitted good locks to their doors and windows.Since the “Neighbourhood Watch” scheme was set up, there are fewer burglaries and there is a new community spirit. It is bringing people together as never before, and encouraging people to care for each other. New friendships are also being made.27．The “Neighbourhood Watch” scheme in Mollington was started ________.A．as the first of its kind in the UKB．after 50,000 burglaries in the areaC．because the police were short of handsD．because it was a popular holiday centre28．The job for members of a “Watch” group is to ________.A．do their best to catch burglarsB．ask strangers to leave at onceC．help those who are in troubleD．report a burglary to the police29．What does the author think of the scheme?A．He doubts it.B．It is worrying.C．It is successful.D．He is uncertain about it.30．What's the purpose of the text?A．To advise.
