There are only about 30 million people there. Most Canadians are of British or French origin, and French is an official language of Canada as well as English. About 45%of the people are of British origin, that is, they or their parents or grandparents, etc, come from British. Nearly 30%are of French origin. Most of the French Canadians live in province of Quebec.Over the years, people have come to live in Canada from many countries in the world. They are from many countries in the world. They are from most European countries and also from China, besides other Asian countries. However, Canada was not an empty country when the Europeans began to arrive. Canadian Indians lived along the coast, by the rivers and lakes and in forests. Today, there are only about 350 000 Indians in the whole country, with their own languages. In the far north live the Inuit. There are only 27 000 Canadian-Inuit. Their life is hard in such a difficult climate. 51. About _ live in Quebec.

There are no people when the Europeans began to arrive in Canada B The next great land area that man hopes to control is the moon. In size it is nearly equal to the area of North and South America. However, it presents a hostile (不友好的) environment. Temperatures range +120 to -150 degrees Centigrade (摄氏). There is no air, and no water. Today there is considerable scientific speculation (思索) about living on the moon. When man will begin life on the moon surface is still not determined. But experts believe that settlement will take place in three steps. First, there will be increasing periods of exploration with temporary shelters (临时住所). These periods will be followed by longer stays with housing under the surface of the moon and daily necessities brought by the settlers themselves from the earth. Finally, settlements that are self-supporting will be founded. The main job of the early settlers will be to stay alive. They will have to plant crops under huge domes (圆顶屋) to produce food and oxygen and find water sources. After this is done, the settlers will have time to explore the possibilities of commercial (商业的) development and to make discoveries important to science. The characteristics of the moon that make it bad for human staying alive may make it ideal for certain kinds of manufacturing (制造业). Operations requiring a vacuum (真空) or extreme cold are examples. Therefore, industrial diamonds might be produced on the moon.56. The area of the moon is _.A. about the same as that of North and South AmericaB. larger than that of North and South AmericaC. hardly equal to that of North and South AmericaD. far smaller than that of North and South America57. The temperature on the moon can be as high as _.A. -150 B. +270 C. +120 D. -3058. According to this passage, the settlement of the moon _.A. will soon be realizedB. can be done under the moon surfaceC. is being experimented by many scientistsD. sounds entirely impossible59. To stay alive on the moon, the early settlers must first of all be able to _.A. develop commerce B. get enough food, oxygen and water C. make discoveries important D. explore the possibilities of industrial development60. Though the environment on the moon is bad for human staying alive, it is very good for _.A. making such things as industrial diamonds B. all kinds of manufactured goods C. medical operations D. commercial developmentCIt was not until one hundred and fifty years ago that scientists learned about the existence of dinosaurs. Thanks to an English doctor and his wife, the door was opened to this zoological study. Reasoning that the reptiles huge size must have made them terrible creatures, scientists combined two Greek words, “deimos”, meaning “terrible”, and “sauros”, meaning “lizards” , to form the word “dimosaur”. After many years of study, they determined that these beasts roamed the earth for millions of years, and ceased to exist some sixty million years ago. Unbelievable as it may seem, not all dinosaurs were carnivorous, that is, meat eating. Many were herbivorous, or vegetarians. By reassembling the bones found at excavation (发掘) sites, scientists have been able to reconstruct the skeletons (骨架) and ;earn a great deal about the dinosaurs living conditions. They have learned that dinosaurs inhabited not only the land, but also the water and sky.61. What is the passage mainly about?A.The mane of the dinosaur. B.The food of dinosaurs.C.The living conditions of dinosaurs.D.The existence of dinosaurs millions of years ago62.

By living with them.64. Which of the following is NOT true or these animals? A. Scientists have studied them for centuries. B. They were meat eating as well as plant eating.C.
