to canadian winter with this weeks snowstorm.“st.albert is very cold,” said the japanese exchange student,“the temperature back home rarely gets below 1.” ueda,17,is an exchange student now attending paul kane high school through the group global partners.hes staying with alexander,who recently came back from a fivemonth exchange in japan through that same group.alexander said he went to japan for adventure.“ive always really liked learning languages,and japan has such a unique culture,” he said.he attended school in the kyoto of japan from march to august.in addition to being more crowded,japan was much easier to get around because of mass transit(公共交通).“people do rely on cars a lot here,” he said,“while its all about the trains there.you have to push your way into the trains because they are so crowded.”japanese students usually wear uniforms,ueda said,and have set curriculums(课程) that are light on options and heavy on academics(学习).the teachers are also much stricter than the ones here.“they dont say any jokes and theyre always wearing suits,” he said.“theyre always angry at students,” he added.he was really hungry that day so he tried to take an early bite of rice from his lunch.the teacher found that and smacked him on the head.alexander said hed like to go back to japan,and recommend(推荐) exchange programs for anyone interested in new languages.ueda will go back home in 10 months.he said he wasnt sure what hed miss about canada when he returns,but said it probably wouldnt be the winter.56.when ueda was in canada,he found it difficult to get used to_.a.the weather b.the foodc.the language d.the custom57.the underlined word “smacked” in the third paragraph may mean “_”.a.caught b.shocked c.hit d.brought58.how long will ueda stay in canada?a.twelve months. b.ten months.c.eight months. d.five months.59.what is the best title for the passage?a.best ways to travel and learn japanese in japanb.many kinds of cars are needed in japanc.unique culture attracts many people from abroadd.exchange students share their experiences of studying abroadbmark twain was a great writer.he was born in 1835 in the usa.he was also a famous speaker.he was famous for his sense of humour.many people liked to listen to his talk because he liked to tell some interesting stories to make people laugh all the time.one day,mark twain was going to a small town because of his writing.before he was going to leave,one of his friends said to him that there were always a lot of mosquitoes(蚊子) in the town and told him that hed better not go there.mark twain waved his hands and said,“it doesnt matter.the mosquitoes are no relatives of mine.i dont think they will come to visit me.”after he arrived at the town,mark twain stayed in a small hotel near the station.he went into his room,but when he was just about to have a rest,quite a few mosquitoes flew around him.the waiters felt very sorry about that.“im very sorry,mr.mark twain.there are too many mosquitoes in our town,” one of them said to him.mark twain,however,made a joke,saying to the waiter,“the mosquitoes are very clever.they know my room number.they didnt come into the wrong room.” what he said made all the people present laugh heartily.but that night mark twain slept well.do you know why？that was because all the waiters in the hotel were driving the mosquitoes away for him during the whole night.60.that day mark twain went to the town_.a.to see one of his friendsb.because he wanted to do something there for his writingc.because he was told there were a lot of mosquitoes thered.to see one of his relatives61.the waiters felt sorry because_.a.they did something wrong to mark twainb.their hotel was too smallc.the room was not very cleand.there were quite a few mosquitoes in mark twains room62.all the people present laughed heartily because_.a.the mosquitoes were very clever and they didnt come into the wrong roomb.the mosquitoes knew mark twains room numberc.mark twain gave the waiters some nice presentsd.mark twain made a joke63.from the story we know_.a.no mosquitoes troubled mark twain in the nightb.the owner of the hotel told the waiters to look after mark twain well at nightc.mark twain didnt have a good rest that nightd.there were no mosquitoes in the hotel any longercsocieties all over the world name places in similar ways.quite often there is no official naming ceremony but places tend to be called names as points of reference by people.then an organized body steps in and gives the place a name.frequently it happens that a place has two names：one is named by the people and the other by the government.as in many areas,old habits die_hard,and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost.many roads and places in singapore(新加坡) are named in order that the pioneers will be remembered by future generations.thus we have names such as stamford road and raffles place.this is in keeping with traditions in many countriesin both the west and the east.another way of naming places is naming them after other places.perhaps they were named to promote friendships between the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there were originally from the places that the roads were named after.the mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in former british bases.if you step into selector airbase you will see piccadilly circusobviously named by some homesick royal air force personnel.some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places.bras basah road is an interesting example,“bras basah” means “wet rice” in malay(马来语).now why would anyone want to name a road “wet rice road”？the reason is simple.during the pioneering days,wet rice was laid out to dry along this road.a few roads in singapore are named by their shapes.there is “circular road” for one.other roads may have part of their names to describe their shapes,like “paya lebar crescent”.this road is called a crescent(月牙) because it begins on the main road,makes a crescent and comes back to join the main road again.64.we learn from paragraph 1 that_.a.the government is usually the first to name a placeb.many places tend to have more than one namec.a ceremony will be held when a place is namedd.people prefer the place names given by the government65.what does the underlined phrase “die hard” in paragraph 1 probably mean?a.change suddenly.b.change significantly.c.disappear mysteriously.d.disappear very slowly.66.which of the following places is named after a person?a.raffles place.b.selector airbase.c.piccadilly circus.d.paya lebar crescent.67.what can be inferred from the passage?a.some place names in singapore are the same as in britain.b.some places in singapore are named for military purposes.c.the way singaporeans name their places is unique.d.young singaporeans have forgotten the pioneers.dthe largest earthquake (magnitude里氏9.5) of the 20th century happened on may 22,1960 off the coast of south central chile.it generated(生成) one of the most destructive pacificwide tsunamis(海啸).near the generating area,both the earthquake and the tsunami were very much destructive,particularly in the coastal area from concepcion to the south end of isla chiloe.the largest tsunami damage occurred at isla chiloethe coastal area closest to the epicenter(震中).huge tsunami waves measuring as high as 25 meters arrived within 10 to 15 minutes after the earthquake,killing at least two hundred people,sinking all the boats,and flooding half a kilometer inland.there was large damage and loss of life at concepcion,chiles top industrial city.near the city of valdivia,the earthquake and following aftershocks generated landslides which killed 18 people.at the port city of valparaiso,a city of 200,000,many buildings collapsed.a total of 130,000 houses were destroyedone in every three in the earthquake zone and nearly 2,000,000 people were left homeless.total damage losses,including to agriculture and to industry,were estimated(估计) to be over a half billion dollars.the total number of death related with both the tsunami and the earthquake was never found accurately for the region.estimates of deaths reached between 490 to 57,002 with no distinction(差别) as to how many deaths were caused by the earthquake and how many were caused by the tsunami.however,it is believed that most of the deaths in chile were caused by the tsunami.68.where did the largest tsunami damage occur?a.concepcion. b.isla chiloe.c.valdivia. d.valparaiso.69.what can we learn about the tsunami waves generated by the earthquake?a.the tsunami waves as high as 25 meters arrived immediately after the earthquake.b.the tsunami waves killed 200 people and sank all boats.c.the tsunami waves were very destructive.d.the tsunami waves flooded half of the inland.70.what does the underlined word “collapsed” probably mean?a.were
