It was not yet a town when British Columbia became part of the Canadian confederation (联盟)in 1871. The citys history, such as it is, remains risible to the naked eyes: periods of history are formed in a neat pile from east to west along the waterfront, from cobblestone late-Victorian Gastown to shiny postmodern glass cathedrals（大教堂） of commerce. The Chinese, among the first to recognize the possibilities of Vancouvers setting, came to British Columbia during the 1850s seeking the gold that inspired them to name the Province Gum-shan, or Gold Mountain. As laborers, they built the Canadian Pacific Railway, giving Vancouver a purpose-one beyond natural scenery that Royal Navy captain George Vancouver admired during his lunchtime cruise around its harbor on June 13, 1792. The Canadian transcontinental railway, along with the citys Great While Fleet of ships, gave Vancouver a full weeks edge over the California ports in shipping tea and silk to New York at the end of the 19th century. For its original people, the Coast Salish people, Vancouver was the sacred spot where the mythical Thunderbird and Killer Whale threw wind and rain all about the heavens during their brave battles. How else to explain the coasts changeable weather? Devotees of a later religious（宗教） tradition might worship in the bushes of Stanley Park or Christ Cathedral, the citys oldest church. Vancouver, with a large population of 2 million, is developing. The mild climate, beautiful natural scenery, and relaxed outdoor lifestyle is attracting many to settle British Columbias business center, and the number of visitors is increasing for the reasons. Many people get their first sight of Vancouver when catching an Alaskan cruise, and many return at some point to spend more time here. 56. It can be inferred from the passage that A. the cities in North America usually have a long historyB. Vancouver is a city with a history of less than 134 yearsC. the history of the city can been seen from the waterfront D. the history of the city can been seen from the shiny buildings57. The Chinese came to British Columbia to A. recognize the possibilities of Vancouvers setting B. look for gold C. name the province Gum-shan D. build the Canadian Pacific Railway58. What can be learnt from the passage?A. Tea and silk were often transported from west to east at the end of 19th centuryB. Vancouver was a sacred spot for people all over the worldC. The mythical（神话） of the battles resulted in the changeable weather in VancouverD. Stanley Park was the oldest park in Vancouver59. Many people choose to live in Vancouver because of the statements except that A. the climate is mild B. the natural scenery is beautifulC. the outdoor lifestyle is relaxing D. they get their first sight when catching an Alaskan cruise（巡游） BBefore I came to China, I had heard that, although North Americans eat more than Chinese, Chinese eat better. Since I have come to China, I have been able to experience these differences first-hand. A whole new world of food has been opened up to me. Along with these new experiences came the quite unexpected introduction to the rituals（惯例） associated with eating. For example, shortly after arriving, I was gently criticized for filling somebodys teacup all the way up instead of half way. This was a signal to the person that I desired that he leave. There than be mixed messages about what it means when you do something associated with food. But the fact is that there may be a message contained in the preparation, serving and consumption of food in China. This was an idea that was totally new to me! More than one Chinese has made the comment to me that they were unhappy with the results of inviting a foreigners to a meal. They told me that the foreigner was not appreciative of the meal that was served to him or her and was hard to please. Having played the part of foreigner at more one Chinese buffet, I can understand where the misunderstandings come from. I myself have felt very uncomfortable some of the dinners I have invited to. One time I was invited to a dinner in a famous restaurant in Tianjin. Its menu was based on seafood. I was still relatively new to the concept that your fish would be brought live to your table. In Canada you are never introduced to your meal before hand. Something we dont like is considering what our food looks like before the actual consumption（吃喝）. However, having been in China for one year, I went along and helped point out some the selections for the evening meal. I hesitated at the scorpions, but swallowed my distaste and indeed found later that they are tasty. The meal was winding its way along without any problems. Then they brought out the lobster. I looked at it and then looked it again and that it was still moving! It had been brought out live to show that out raw lobster was indeed very fresh. At the point, I nearly lost it. It took all my composure for me to stay seated at the table and not hurl myself in the bathroom and bring up the contents of the previous dishes. Now the interesting thing is when I tell that story to foreigner, the reaction is always the same: Horror, sympathy, shock. When I tell the same story to a Chinese, they dont understand my point of view. In fact, I often think that they believe that there is something truly wrong with me and not with the fact that a lobster had serve live at the table. 60. According to the author of the passage, its the Chinese custom A. to fill somebodys teacup all the way up B. not to fill somebodys teacup full C. not to fill somebodys teacup half way D. not to desire the guest to leave 61. The author felt very uncomfortable during some of the dinners because A. she disliked scorpions（蝎子） and lobster（龙虾）B. the services in the restaurants were not good enough C. she disliked that the things were brought lie to the tableD. She thought the food was not fresh enough62. It can be inferred from the last paragraph of the passage that A. the author can get support from foreignersB. Chinese dont understand the authors point of viewC. something is truly wrong with the authorD. different countries may have different ritual of consumption63. The word “buffet” in fifth paragraph most probably means A. meal B. party C. food D. service CRecently I and my wife, along with a travel companion, were in a tiny town of Battambang in central Cambodia. We hired a guide to take us up the river to our next destination at Siem Reap. This was to be a six-hour trop followed by crossing Lake Sap, the largest lake in central Asia. Battambang is an extremely poor area, and our mode of transportation was a very small, old boat not much larger than the there of us. With six bags tied to the front of the boat, four travelers, and the boatman, I figured we were overloaded by at least a ton. We frequently had seen four or five people on a single motorbike. So no one but us was concerned about our weight. We had been on the water only a few minutes when our pilot made for shore and jumped from our boat to another. Our guide said not to worry; he would only be a minute. He added, “We need to pick up live children for their legs.” My wife and I exchanged glances. We are pretty open-minded, especially when traveling to a third-world country. It was obvious there was little room in our tiny vessel for chickens. If we had to take them along, we were willing to hold them on our legsthere was no place else to put them. The thought even occurred to me that perhaps the chickens were needed if the boats tiny engine stopped in the middle of nowhere. I had a vision of us holding them over the side of the boat while their tiny legs paddled(划) away, guiding us to safety. After all, our guide had said we needed them for their legs. We continued to make many jokes about live chickens drawing us to shore if the boat turned over and we were about eating them if we were left on a wild island. Meanwhile our guide just gave us a puzzled look. Finally my wife turned to him and asked, “How many chickens are we taking?” At first he seemed totally surprised, and then a large smile spread over his face. He bent over and began to laugh uncontrollably. My wife turned to me and said, “Im glad he finds the thought of us holding chicken on our legs for 6 hours so funny.” When he finished laughing, he looked at us and pronounced every word loudly and clearly, “No live chickens! I said, We need life jackets for the lake!” It took a moment for this to sink in, and then we all had a good laugh. In fact, for the next six hours he kept asking us if our “chicken” fit all right and then laughed wildly, “Americans, so funny!” he kept saying. 64. The funny story happened A. in the tiny town of Battambang B. on a motorbikeC. on a small and old boat D. on a wild island65. The pilot left their boat to A. pick up live chickens B. pick up live jacketsC. make room for live chickens D. make the boat weigh less66. Which of the following events truly happened?A. The couple held the chickens on their legsB. The chickens legs paddled the boat guiding to safety C. They ate the chickens while they were left on the wild islandD. They made many jokes about live chickens 67. The guide bent over and laughed uncontrollably because A. he suddenly understood what the misunderstand wasB. he found the thought of holding chickens on their legs funny C. he thought the American couple were funnyD. he thought all the Americans were funnyD Learn another language isnt easy, but most people can learn a second language well if theyre willing to put in the necessary time.
