第 6 页 共 6 页课时跟踪练(一) Warming Up & Reading Pre-reading.阅读理解AI picked up my two best friends and we were off on a road trip. 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 fourhour 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.

Last year it broke the record for the 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 Frenchspeaking city in the world. But since the rest of Canada speak English, plenty of people were there to help.We spent the rest of the weekend going to 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 traveller can choose whichever direction he wants to go.语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在加拿大蒙特利尔的经历。那里寒冷的天气、人们入时的服装、美食、著名历史景点等都给作者留下了深刻的印象。1How do you understand the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?AThe men and women are really the fashion models of a magazine.BThe portraits of the men and women are printed in the magazine.CThey are so well dressed that they look like models in a magazine.DThe men and women like to copy characters in magazines.解析：选C细节理解题。根据该段中的“how well everyone dressed”可知，在作者看来，蒙特利尔的人穿着时尚，像杂志里的模特。2Which of the following can NOT be concluded from Paragraphs 3 4?AThe author and his friends couldnt wait to explore the city.BThe author wasnt used to the weather of Montreal.CThe citizens from Montreal care much about what they wear.DMontreal often holds fashion shows.解析：选D细节理解题。根据第三段第一句话中的“. we were immediately walking .”可知作者和他的朋友迫不及待地想参观蒙特利尔。根据第四段中的“To hide from the cold .”可以推知作者并不适应那里的寒冷。根据第三段最后两句可知蒙特利尔的人们非常注重着装。D项文中未提及，故选D。3What can we infer from the passage?AThe author often went to China for a visit.BThe people they met in the diner were kind and helpful.CAll the people in the diner were locals.DThe author went to Montreal on business.解析：选B推理判断题。根据第五段中“But since the rest of Canada speak English, plenty of people were there to help.”可推知作者及朋友在餐馆碰到的人非常友好且乐于助人。4Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AThe author listened to Canadian radio programmes and chose their first stop as advised.BThe author took a trip to Montreal the third largest city in Canada.CMontreal broke the record for the most snowfall in the world last year.DMontreal is a city which is both traditional and modern.解析：选D细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“Montreal is a city that sits between the past and the future .”可知，蒙特利尔既有往昔的风采，也有现代的气息，由此可确定答案为D。BCity of Winnipeg details on Thanksgiving hours for facilities and services.Swimming PoolsAll City of Winnipeg indoor swimming pools will be closed on Monday, October 12 with the exception of the Pan Am Pool and the Cindy Klassen Recreation Complex.On Monday, October 12, the Great Pan Am Pool will be open from 10：00 am. to 2：00 pm., and the Cindy Klassen Recreation Complex will be open from 2：00 pm. to 6：00 pm.

In the north the Inuit lived by hunting seals, walruses (海象) and whales. They also hunted caribou (北美驯鹿). On the west coast people hunted deer, bear and beaver (河狸). They also fished. On the plains people lived by hunting buffalo. In the east people grew crops of beans, squash (南瓜), maize (玉米) and sunflower seeds.The first Europeans to reach Canada were the Vikings. In 986 a Viking called Bjarni Herjolfsson was blown off course by a storm and he spotted a new land. However he sailed away without landing. In 1001 a man named Leif Eriksson landed in the new land, which he named Vinland (it was part of Canada). However Eriksson did not stay permanently. Later the Vikings did establish a colony (殖民地) in North America but they abandoned it because of conflict with the natives.However after the Vikings Canada was forgotten until the end of the 15th century. In 1497 the English king Henry sent an Italian named John Cabot on an expedition across the Atlantic to Newfoundland. Cabot discovered rich fishing waters off the coast of Canada.Then in 1534 and in 153536 a Frenchman named Jacques Cartier (14911557) sailed on two expeditions to Canada. On 10 August 1535 (St Lawrences Day) he sailed into the St Lawrence River, which he named after the saint.However no permanent European settlements were made in Canada until the early 17th century. In 1603 a Frenchman named Samuel de Champlain (15671635) sailed up the St Lawrence River. In 1604 he founded Port Royal in Acadia (Nova Scotia). In 1608 Samuel de Champlain founded Quebec. (The name Quebec is believed to be an Algonquin word meaning a narrow part of a river). In 1642 the French founded Montreal. The new colony in Canada was called New France. By 1685 the population of New France was about 10,000. By 1740 it was 48,000.语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了加拿大人口的构成及城市的逐渐形成。8In which part of Canada did people grow crops?AIn the north.BIn the east.COn the west coast.
