B、CCanada is a bilingual country with "co-official " languages. English and French enjoy equal status as the official languages of all government agencies in Canada. This means that the public has the right to communicate with and receive services from government in either English or French. Government employees have the right to work in the official language of their choice in certainbilingual regions.Like the United States, Canada started as a colony. Beginning in the 1500s it was part ofNew F rance but later became a British colony after the Seven Years’ War. As a result, the Canadian government recognized the languages of both colonizers: France and England. The Constitution (宪法)Act of 1867 admitted the use of both languages in federal courts. Years later, Canadastrengthened its commitment to bilingualism when it passed the Official Languages Act of 1969,which reconfirmed the constitutional origins of its co official languages.Recognition of both English and French protects the rights of all Canadians. Among otherbenefits, the 1969 Act recognized the Canadian citizens should be able to access federal lawsand government documents, whether their native language was French or English. The general lawalso requires that consumer products feature bilingual packaging throughout the country.The Canadian government is committed to advancing the equality and the use of English andFrench and provides support to the development of English and French minority communities. However, the reality is that most Canadians speak English, and of course, many Canadians speak anotherlanguage entirely.Although the federal government theoretically guarantees bilingual services in all areas,there are many regions where English is the clear majority language so the government does notoffer services in French in those regions. Canadians use the phrase "where numbers justify "toindicate whether a local populations language requires bilingual services from the government.While many Canadians are bilingual in English and French, Statistics. Canada finds that over 200 other languages were reported as a language spoken by its people. About two-thirds of therespondents who spoke one of these languages also spoke either English or French8. Why are two official languages accepted in Canada?A. The language-using tradition caused by Canada's colonial historyB. The theoretical commitment made by Canadian courts in the pastC. The welcome attitude towards people coming from all over the worldD. The mastery of two languages of Canadians because of school education9. What is the current situation of official languages in Canada?A. People speaking English are superior because of their access to federal lawsB. Federal governments have to provide bilingual services to all citizens in CanadaC. French minority communities are given more support due to their language-using historyD. There are more people speaking English than French in some parts of Canada10. What can we infer from the passage?A. The legal court usage of French and English was established in Canada in 1969.B. Some Canadians in certain districts might speak neither English nor FrenchC. Either French or English should be used on products in Canada according to the lawD. English has gained superior legal position to French because of bigger users in Canada11. Which is the best title of the passage?A. The Official Languages in CanadaB. Canada, a Multiple-language LandC. Balancing English and French in CanadaD. Advancing English and French in Canada【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. A、DSince App Store was set up, it has been selling consumers one simple thing choice. Whetheryou wanted to play games, read the news, or do a thousand other things, there was something forwhatever you desired.Then something funny happened. Logging into the App Store today is like going into a shopping mall with only a coupon(优惠券) for one thing: There’s so much choice; it might be easier togive up than to choose.It isn’t consumer s who are burdened, though. Too much content of all kinds also has economic effects. When c ountless choices are available, it causes pressure, pushing prices down and driving us a bit crazy.So what is the way forward? It may well be to turn less choice itself to the marketing strategy. There are already signs that this is happening. Firstly content companies are looking to prevent their offerings from getting lost in the tons of stuff. Most obvious is Disney, which is planning to open its own streaming service next year. The point is to narrow the focus so that those seeking Disney cartoons will have one place to go, rather than being around various services.Yet if that represents a careful first step, there are more extreme options too. Considerthe idea of a wine club: from tens of thousands of bottles each year, subscribers pay someoneto select the most interesting ones. Perhaps what comes next for digital content issimilar-carefully selected offerings from trusted sources that put choices in the hands of someone else in order to get rid of the anxiety of choosing.Up to now, too much choice in digital media has only one solution: the algorithm（运算法则）． But we＇ve seen the trouble with algorithms on You Tube They feed you only what you’ve already said you like, not things you may not know you re into. Worse, they have a tendency toserve up disturbing content he way forward cant simply be more or better algorithms.Instead, it's time for digital companies to start thinking about how to put limits on things:on how much we can use a device, or what we are available to choose from.As we move further into the digital revolution, what people ask for is clear: Less.12. What will too much choice of content on the market result in?A. The shutdown of companiesB. The anxiety of consumersC. The poor quality of productsD. The slowdown of economy13. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Paragraphs 4 and 5?A. Content companies should withdraw their offerings onlineB. Content companies should post their offerings on App StoreC. Content companies adopt different methods to narrow the consumers focusD. Content companies open their own streaming services on You Tube14. How do algorithms probably respond to consumers needs?A. They make a better choice for themB. They help to remove disturbing contentC. They change their interest in digital mediaD. They fail to offer what they possibly like15. What is the authors attitude towards limiting the choice consumers haveA. Approving.B. SkepticalC. Opposing.D. Neutral【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A、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。
