DCanada, the second largest country in the world, lies in the north of America. The population of Canada is about 29 million and the capital is Ottawa. The country covers about 9,980,000 square kilometers and six of the worlds 24 time areas as well.There are two official languages spoken in Canada: French and English. Many people can speak both English and French. More than 60% of Canadians speak English as their language. About 25% of Canadians speak French. In one province (省份) of Canada where French is the common language, the programmes on TV and radios as well as the teaching in schools are all done in French. Today, Chinese has become the first inofficial (非官方的) language in Canada.Canadas climate is not as cold all year round as some may believe. In winter, the temperature falls below freezing point throughout most of Canada. In summer, the southern provinces often experience high levels of temperature that can reach over 30 regularly. The weather in Canada is just like the weather in China. It is rather cold in the north while it is fairly warm in the south. Winters in the north last long with snow for half a year. Because of the cold northern climate, only one-fifth of the land is suitable for farming.As is known to all, Canada has one-third of the worlds supply of fresh water. It has many great lakes. There are five great lakes in the south, and there are many others, especially in the north. It is also rich in natural resources, such as coal, oil, natural gas of which Canadians make use to produce energy.People of northern Canada are called Inuit (因纽特人) , who came from Asia and settled in Canada about 4,000 years ago. They used to travel around from place to place with teams of dogs which pulled their baggage. Now they live in settlements. There are about 2,500 Inuit in all. The government has started a new school project in which Inuit teach their own young children. So it is hoped that the way of Inuit life will be kept alive for many more centuries.42. Today, most Canadians speak _as their first language. A. French B. Chinese C. English D. Japanese43. Only _of the land can be used for farming because of the cold northern climate. A.15% B.20% C.30% D.50%44. Which statement about Inuit is Not right? A. They settled in Canada about 4,000 years ago. B. Dogs could help them pull their baggage when they had to travel years ago. C. They can teach their own young children according to the new school project. D. The way of Inuit life may disappear in the future.45. From the passage we can know_. A. Canada lies in the south of America. B. Canada is an immigrant（移民的）and multilingual（多语种）country. C. The weather in Canada is so cold the whole year as some people think. D. The Canadian government pays little attention to Inuits education.第卷 非选择题 计60分四、词汇运用（每小题1分，计10分）46.Early last year many _(南方)areas in China were attacked by snowstorms. 47.Do you know who the telephone was_(发明) by?48.My mother is used to_(熨烫) my shirts after they are washed.49.
