It is the second largest country in the world .By contrast it has a very small population. There are only about 29 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 Britain. Nearly 30%are of French origin. Most of the FrenchCanadians live in province of Quebec.Over the years, people have come to live in Canada 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.25. The official languages of Canada are _.A. English and ChineseB.

For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and do past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.” In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “its about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They dont know.Its true that a person doesnt know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I dont know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I dont know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist an get very, very lost in Yucatan!29. When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place, they usually .A tell him the names of the streets B. show him a map of the placeC.take him there D. refer to recognizable buildings and places30. What is the place where people measure distance in time?A. Los Angeles B. News York C. Kansas D. Iowa31. People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer .A. in order to save time B. so as to be politeC. as a test D. for fun32. What can we infer from the text?Its important for travelers to understand cultural differences.Its useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.People have similar understandings of politenessNew Yorkers are generally friendly to visitorsDAs far back in history as we can tell, people have celebrated the start of a New Year. The people of ancient Egypt began their New Year in summer. That is when the Nile River flooded its banks bringing water and fertility(肥沃) to the land. The people of ancient Babylon and Persia began their New Year on March 21, the first day of spring. And some native American Indians began their New Year when the nuts of the oak trees became ripe. That was usually in late summer.Noise-marking is another ancient custom on the New Year. The noise is considered necessary to drive away the evil spirits（恶鬼） of the old year. People around the world do different things to make a lot of noise. They may hit sticks together, beat on drums, blow horns, or explode fire-works.Americans celebrate the New Year in many ways. Most do not have to go work or school. So they visit family and friends, attend church services, share a holiday meal, or watch New Years parades(游行) on television. Most years university teams play in special holiday games. For those who have been busy at work or school, New Year may be a day of rest. They spend the time thinking about and preparing for the demands of the New Year.33. Which of the following statements is right?The people of ancient Egypt began their New Year in springThe people of ancient Babylon began their New Year on March 21, the first day of springSome native American Indians began their New Year in early winterThe people of ancient Persia began their New Year in late summer34. Why do people make a lot of noise on the New Year according to the passage?The noise is considered necessary to frighten the evil spirits of the old yearThe noise is considered necessary to show peoples excitementThey spend the time thinking about and preparing for the demands of the New YearPeople have no other better ways to show peoples happiness35.Americans celebrate the New Year by doing things as follows except .A. resting at home B. visiting family and friendsC. attending church services D. having sports and games：（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Tips on Making a DecisionDecision-making never ends. It is an important part of everyday life, and it is how we choose our path. 36. Sometimes we leave things to luck. Other times we take a more active role. Here are some of the ways we usually make decisions.Make a list of pros and cons(利与弊). When you try to make a difficult decision, you can take out a piece of paper, and then list the pros and cons of each choice. 37.Ask a friend. 38. While I dont think this is always true, I can see how friends can point out certain things that we may not know. By getting a choice from a third party who knows us well, we can get good ideas that we didnt take into consideration before.39 Some decisions require that er know more about the subject we are deciding on. Making a choice without first doing some research can turn things into a nightmare(噩梦), so dont hurry. Take your time to search Google or Wikipedia or find a forum(论坛) to ask a couple of questions. Be careful and check your sources.Go to an expert(专家). Seldom are we the most knowledgeable person on a particular subject. Our friends can sometimes be no better. 40. Feeling depressed(郁闷)? Go to see a psychologist(心理学家). Not sure how to write a book? Discuss tips with other authors.We make decisions in all kinds of ways.Leave our choices to chance.Do your research.These can be important questions to ask.In this case it may be better to get advice from an expert in the field.This can help provide a bigger picture of what you are working with.Some studies have shown that others may know us better than ourselves.第三部分第一节完形填空(共30分 每题 1.5)阅读下面短文，从短文后所给题的四个选项中选出能填入相应空白处的最佳选项。I was a single parent of four small children, working at a low-paid job.
