I had just returned to America from a year abroad in China. So, naturally I wanted to take a trip: to Canada. Montreal, the second largest city in Canada, is a four-hour drive from my home in New Hampshire. We felt a thrill as we crossed the border into Canada. It was the first time I had ever driven across an international border. We turned on the radio to try and find some Canadian stations. After dropping off our bags at our hotel, we were immediately walking down the famous St. Catherines street. While we walked two things surprised us: how cold it was and how well everyone dressed. The streets of Montreal are like a fashion show. Both men and women look like they stepped out of the pages of a magazine.All of that fashion has to keep them warm since Montreal is so cold. Last year it broke the record for most snowfall in North America. To hide from the cold we went into a small diner because we wanted to order Poutine, a very popular snack in Montreal. It is French fries covered in cheese and brown gravy (肉汁). It is delicious.However. we had a hard time ordering the dish since the official language of Montreal is French. It is actually the fifth largest French-speaking city in the world. But since the rest of Canada speaks English, plenty of people were there to help.We spent the rest of the weekend going to the many historical churches and monuments in Montreal. But at night wed head to the very modern dance clubs and bars. Montreal is a city that sits between the past and the future and the traveler can choose whichever direction he wants to go.41. _ surprised the author most when he was in Montreal according to the passage. A. Its cold weather and well-dressed citizens B. Its delicious snack and beautiful streets C. Its generosity and kindness of the citizens D. Its beautiful streets and well-dressed citizens42. How do you understand the underlined sentence “Both men and women look like they stepped out of the pages of a magazine” in Paragraph 4? A. The men and women are really the fashion models of a magazine. B. The portraits of the men and women are printed in the magazine. C. They are so well dressed that they look like models in a magazine. D. The men and women like to copy characters in magazines.43. Which of the following can NOT be concluded from Paragraph 4? A. The author and his friends couldnt wait to explore the city. B. The author wasnt used to the weather of Montreal. C. The citizens from Montreal care much about what they wear. D. Montreal often holds fashion shows.44. What can we infer from the passage? A. The author often went to China for a visit. B. The people they met in the diner were kind and helpful. C. All the people in the diner were locals. D. The author went to Montreal on business.BIn high school, all Canadian students take part in a very exciting event. It is “Take Your Children to Work Day”. Students will have a chance to work with their parents. My day took place in my moms work, the York Region Police Department. When I arrived, a coach was teaching the officers basic combat (格斗) skills. Everyone tried their best to practice. I could see them sweating (流汗) and panting (喘气). The most exciting part of my visit was a stop at the 911 Communication Center. 911 is the same as 110, 119 and 120 in China. Every 911 Call in the city is answered here. When I entered the center, I stood beside a call dispatcher (分派人员) and watched him dealing with the calls. Suddenly, the phone rang, he picked it up and a woman cried for help. There was a robbery (抢劫) in her house. The call dispatcher told her: “Please calm down and move to the safe place quietly. Dont fight with them. Just let them take what they want. Please make sure you are not hurt. We are sending officers there.” He followed the call and found the address. The call dispatcher chose the five closest police cars from the satellite map and clicked (敲键盘) to send the policemen. I saw the police cars from the satellite map were quickly moving to the womans house. Five minutes later, they arrived. I asked the call dispatcher why he sent five cars. He said: “There are different levels of emergencies. Robbery is a high priority (优先), so we have to send five cars.” The day was interesting. I learned how the different departments work together. The officers were very friendly and admirable (让人崇敬的).By Richard Feng45. Whats the best title for the article? A. An exciting day at a Police Department B. Robbery is a high priority C.

I had never received such a terrible grade before.I was so ashamed that when I got home that afternoon I lied to my dad. I told him I got 85 and that the report wouldnt come until the end of the month. Dad smiled. His daughter would never lie about her grade, so he didnt doubt the unusual delay (延迟) of my report.A month later. Dad casually (随意地) asked me again about the report at the dinner table. He looked right into my eyes and asked for an answer. Having no choice. I told him that I had in fact got just 65 in my math final. I had lied because I didnt want to let him down.For a moment, he just looked at me. I would have preferred a telling off(斥责) than that silence. Finally, Dad said, in a hurt voice, “You have already let me down, with your lie. I am not disappointed at your math score. That is no big deal-no one can be perfect all the time. But I am very disappointed in you. If you cant be honest with your dad. who can you be honest with? Its much easier to achieve a better grade than rebuild someone elses trust in you.”Dads words touched my heart. I couldnt forgive (原谅) myself for having hurt his feelings. I took out the report that I had been hiding for weeks, handed to him and apologized, sincerely. I realized that my honesty is not only important to me personally, but to those around me that truly care about my well-being(幸福). In one of Shakespeares plays a character says: “No legacy (遗产) is so rich as honesty.” After the crisis between Dad and me, I began to understand those words.49.

Since then. our staff have received lots of calls from parents asking for more information about it. Here is a memo (备忘录) for your reference when you answer the phones: Sports 1: Basketball We expect that this will be the most popular of the four sports. Therefore, students should be advised to sign up as soon as possible. Students will take a private bus to and from Kwun Tong Sports Park. To cover the cost of hiring a bus. each student will have to pay $10 each time. There will be four basketball courts available for our use with one teacher watching over each game. Sports 2: Gym We will be using St. Peters Memorial Park. There are two reasons for choosing this park. First. it is not very busy .and crowded before 6:00 pm. Second, it has a lot of trees with plenty of shade. Students must bring along two bottles of water to prevent thirst. Three activities, skipping, jogging, outdoor aerobics (有氧运动), all of which are free of charge, will be arranged. And there will be a teacher on duty for each of the activities. Sports 3: Hiking. Hiking (远足)will take place at Kowloon Peak. The activity will start at 2:30 pm and finish 90 minutes later. Three teachers will accompany the students, and a hiking instructor will accompany each group of 15 hikers. Each instructor will cost $ 75/hr. Sports 4: Swimming The Kowloon City Aquatic Centre is a 10-minute walk from our school. Four teachers will go to the pool and conduct the goings-on from the poolside. We will only be able to reserve the pool for one hour (i.e. 2:45pm to 3:45pm). Only students skilful at swimming can take up this activity. The pool will have two lifeguards present.
