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 French-Canadians live in the 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. 56. About live in Quebec. A. 30% of the French-Canadians B. 45% of the Canadians C. 29 000 000 people D. 8 700 000 French-Canadians 57. The official languages of Canada are . A. English and Chinese B. French and English C. Indian and English D. Chinese and Inuit 58. The word “origin” in this passage means . A. 血统 B. 后裔 C. 先驱 D. 猿人 59. About 23% of people came from . 6 A. China B. England C. France D. some other countries except France and Britain 60. Which of the following is true according to this passage? A. There are 27 000 Canadian-Indians in Canada. B. More than 13 million people have come from Britain and France in recent years. C. There are 30% of the population whose parents or grandparents come from France. D. There are no people when the Europeans began to arrive in Canada. C “What part of the States do you come from?” “I’m not American. I’m Canadian.” This is a mistake that Europeans often make. Many Americans, too, admit that it takes them a while to tell if it’s an American talking or Canadian. This upsets（使……不安）some Canadians, because they want people to recognize them as Canadians. They want everyone to know that Canada is an independent（独立的）nation with its own special character. American English was probably brought to Canada by the Loyalists（忠于北方者）who fled there during the Revolutionary War (1776～1783), for even as late as 1813. Eighty of percent of all British Canadians had come from the USA. From the very first, Canada was a country with two languages, neither of which influenced（影响）the other very much, because the French and British spoke to each other so little. Canadian English has always remained very like American English, and the influence of the Indian and Inuit languages was no greater than the influence of French. But here are some important words that have found their way via（通过）Canadian dictionaries into British Dictionaries. 61. The sentence “I’m not American, I’m Canadian.” suggests . A. Canada is beautiful country B. Canadian English is not quite different from American English C. Canadians think Canada is a more developed country D. Canadians think that there is independence 7 62.

Canada is connected with the USA B. most of the British Canadians had come from the USA C. the population of Canada is smaller than that of the USA D. Canadians want to follow Americans 65. With the help of , some American English new words come into British English. A. the Revolutionary War B. Indian language C. the Loyalists D. Canadian dictionaries C Hobbs was an orphan. He worked in a factory and every day he got a little money. Hard work changed him thin and weak. He wanted to borrow a lot of money to learn to paint pictures, but he did not think he could pay off the debts. One day the lawyer said to him, “One thousand dollars, and here is the money.” As Hobbs took the package of notes, he was very dumbfounded. He didn’t know where the money came from and how to spend it. He said to himself, “I could go to find a hotel and live like a rich man for a few days; or I give up my work in the factory and do what I’d like to do: painting pictures I could do that for a few weeks, but what would I do after that? I should have lost my place of the factory and have no 8 money to live on. If it were a little less money, I would buy a new coat, or a radio, or give a dinner to my friends. If it were more, I could give up the work and pay for painting pictures. But it’s too much for one and too little for the other.” “Here is the reading of your uncle’s will,” said the lawyer, “telling what is to be done with this money after his death. I must ask you to remember one point. Your uncle has said you must bring me a paper showing exactly what you did with his money, as soon as you have spent it.” “Yes, I see. I’ll do that.” said the young man. 66. He wanted to borrow money because he wanted to . A. study abroad B. work abroad C. pay for the debts D. learn to paint pictures 67.

A. working in the factory B. living in a fine hotel C. painting pictures D. saving the money D 9 John Smith was a writer, who wrote detective stories for magazines（杂志）, though he never dealt with criminals（罪犯）. One evening he could not finish an end for a story. He sat in his study（书房）, but he had no ideas. So he decided to go to the cinema. When he came back, he found that he had had a visitor. Someone had broken into his house. The visitor had had a drink, smoked several of his cigarettes and had read his story. The visitor left him a note. “I have read your story and I don’t think it is very good. Please read my suggestions and you can finish it. By the way, I am a thief. I’m not going to steal anything tonight. But if you become a successful writer, I will return.” John read the thief’s suggestions. Then he sat down and wrote the rest of the story. He is still not a successful writer, and he is waiting for his “visitor” to return. Before he goes out in the evening, he always leaves a half-finished story in his study. 71.

What makes these place an almost universal attraction? What makes foreign kings and queens and other important people want to visit these Disney parks? Well, one reason is the way they’re treated once they get there. The people at Disney go out of their way to serve their “guests”, as they prefer to call them, and to see that they enjoy themselves. All new employees, from vice presidents to part-time workers, begin their employment by attending Disney University and taking “Traditions（传统）I”. Here, they learn about the company’s history, how it is managed, and why it is successful. They are shown how each department relates to the whole. All employees are shown how their part is important in making the park a success. After passing “Traditions I”, the employees go on to do more specialized training for their specific（具体的）jobs. No detail（细节）is missed. A simple job like taking tickets requires four eight-hour days of training. When one ticket taker was asked why it took so much training for such a simple, ordinary job, he replied, “What happens if someone wants to know where the restrooms are, when the parade starts or what bus to take back to the campgrounds?„We need to know the answers or where to get them quickly. Our constant aim is to help our guests enjoy the party.” Even Disney’s managers get involved in the daily management of the park. Every year, the mangers leave their desks and business suits and put on special service clothes. For a full week, the bosses sell hot dogs or ice cream, take tickets or drive the monorail（单轨车）, and take up any of the 100 jobs that make the entertainment park come alive. The managers agree that this week help them to see the company’s goals more clearly. All these efforts to serve the public well have made Walt Disney Productions 11 famous. Disney is considered by many as the best mass service provider in America or the world. As one longtime business observer once said, “How Disney treats people, communicates with them, rewards them , is in my view the very reason for his fifty years of success„ I have watched, very carefully and with great respect and admiration, the theory and with great respect and admiration, the theory and practice of selling satisfaction and serving millions of people on a daily basis, successfully. It is what Disney does best.” 76. The first day they come to Disney parks, all new employees . A. begin by receiving on-the-job training B. must learn several jobs C. begin as ticket takers D. have already attended Disney University 77. Each year, managers wear special service clothes and work in the park to . A. set a good example for employees B. remind themselves of their beginnings at Disney C. gain a better view of the company’s objectives D. replace employees on holiday 78. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. Tourists learn the history of Disney in its entertainment parks. B. Disney attracts people almost from all over the world. C. Parades are regularly held in Disney’s entertainment parks. D. Disney’s managers are able to do almost all kinds of work in the Disney parks. 79. This passage is mainly about . A. how Disney employees are trained B. the history and traditions of the Disney enterprises C. why Disney enterprises make a lot of money D. the importance Disney place on serving people well 五、书面表达 你与几位同学参加了一次夏令营(summer camp)。几位英籍营员的加入使得本 12 次活动与以往不同，他们是来自伦敦以东、位于泰晤士河(the Thames)畔的Canvey 市的高中生，你们领他们参观了故宫、长城、颐和园等北京名胜。中、英方的营 员通过此次活动均有较大的收获。 请根据上面文字写一篇短文。 注意：1、写作要用第一人称。 2、词数100左右。 A. 1. continents 2. surrounded 3. settled 4. terrified 5. wealthy 6. within 7. goats 8. border 9. officials 10. flowing B. 11. cross, by train 12. surprised at 13. reached, richest 14. would rather 15. excited at C. 16. rather; than buy 17. don’t think; less than 18. are against 19. settled down 20. on the north; on the west 二、单项填空 21—25 BAACB 26—30 CCAAB 31—35 BDDCD 重点解析： 21. 常见prefer的结构：1) prefer sth /doing sth to sth /doing sth；2) prefer to do sth rather than do sth。 23. work作“工作”解时，为不可数名词，不能用another或the others替代，故 排除C项和D项；the other用作此处也不妥，因为其后多加名词，或指两个中 的另一个(one, the other)。因此，只能使用the rest。 24. 单从结构上讲，remain后可用现在分词、过去分词或动词不定式作表语，但 是seat应用seated作表语，如：Please be seated.(=Please seat yourself.=Sit down, please)。故选C。 26. close和closely都可用作副词，但意思不一样。close意为“靠近”，“接近”， 13 常与介词to连用；closely表示抽象意义，意为“密切地”，“仔细地”。根据句意排除A、D项，故选C。 29. until/till引导的结构与肯定句连用时，主句谓语动词为延续性动词，其动作延 续到until/till所表示时间就停止。until/till引导的结构与否定句连用时，构成 not…until/till…结构，主句所表达的动作直到until/till所表示的时间才发生，译 成“直到…才…”。 30. as far as有两个意思(1)“远到（某地点）”；(2)“就„而言”；that可以用作副词，意为“那样，那么”。例如：He jumped that high. 31. 第一空需要引导同位语从句的词，而which不可引导同位语从句。故排除A、D项。drop out of school意为“辍学”，故选B。 33. 依据句意排除A、C项；定语从句中的谓语动词应该与先行词一致。故选D。句意为：赞成这项计划的人设法说服不赞成这项计划的人。 完形填空 36—40 BDBCA 41—45 DDDCA 46—50 BACDB 51—55 ACBBA 重点解析： 37. 从句首„when I first heard a noise from the lift 知此时那人敲的是电梯的门。 38. What’s wrong? =What’s the matter? 41. “声音来自几层楼下”。A、B在此均有干扰性，floor指整个梯房的一层，从 电梯的位置看，电梯应在楼梯口，因此B不合题意。stair指楼梯的台阶，因此A也不合题意。 flight指楼梯的一段。 44. “我回家取些工具”。电梯的门还没打开，显然A不合题意。the flat指我住的房子。 45. “我”从家里返回电梯，从前文我们得知此时电梯在several flights below， 因此I hurried down the stairs. 47. 电梯的门一直紧闭，“我”想撬门。force to do sth. 强行做某事。 49. A、B、D都可表示“快”，但quickly多侧重行动的敏捷，而fast指速度快，在此作者指不大会儿工夫“我”妻子回来了，因此作soon一词。 53. A、B、C都可表示“到达”，但reach当“到达”讲时是及物动词，get必 14 须与to或副词连用才可表示“到达”。 55. “尽管有这次（不愉快的）经历，女孩的情绪仍很好。” 四、阅读理解 56—60 DBADC 61—65 BBCBD 6-70 DADAC 71—75 DCACB 76—79 ACAC 重点解析： 56. 此题考查推理计算能力。加拿大只有2 900万人口；近30%的为法国人的血统；并且大都居住在魁北克省，故此省的法裔加拿大约为870万。 57.] 此题考查细节事实。从文章的第一段可知，加拿大的官方语言为英语和法语。 58. 此题考查词义猜测。从该词所处的位置及句中的解释来看，该词意与“血统”最为接近。 60. 此题考查综合判断能力。纵观全文，根据文章提供的数字信息，可知30%的人口是法国血统。 61. 此题考查综合分析能力。阅读全文，可知加拿大英语和美国英语没有很大区 别，因此加拿大人常被误认为是美国人。故答案为B。 63. 此题考查细节。由第五段第一句可知答案为C。 65. 此题考查细节。从本文最后一句可知答案为D。 66. 这是一道细节题。从文中第一段第四句可知答案。 67.一千美元对需要借钱学画的Hobbs来说，是相当多的一笔钱，因此被惊得目 瞪口呆。 68.从文中第二段 “He didn’t know…and how to spend it” 这一句可知答案。 69. 从文中第三段最后一句可知答案。 70. 文中第二段提到 “or I give up my work in the factory and do what I’d like to do: painting pictures”. 71.此题考查推理能力。文章说John尽管未和罪犯打过交道，却写此类文章。可 以推测他写的是与警察有关的侦探小说。 72. 写作思路受阻，不如走开，寻找灵感，这是许多 作家 作家简历作家简历作家简历作家简历作家简历 的观点。本文中作家也 是一样。 15 73.小偷夜入民宅，本意即为偷窃。至于这次小偷没作案，只是偶然而已。 75. 此题考查细节理解能力。作家再出门时，常留篇未完文章于桌上，实际希望 哪天有人再来，给他些建议。 76.该题考查细节。由 “All new employees… by attending Disney University and taking “Traditions I” 可知，新员工先要进行岗前培训。 78. 该题考查综合判断推理能力。迪斯尼乐园以其众多的游乐节目吸引世界游 客；从副总裁到一般职员均受过专业培训，故均能胜任各项工作；游额在此可尽 兴玩耍，但却不能在游乐中学到该乐园的历史。该题可以用排除法得知答案。 五、书面表达 One possible version, During the holiday I took part in a special summer camp with my classmates. There we made some new friends. They were senior students from Canvey, a town on the Themes, which is to the east of London. As hosts, we showed them round many places of interest in Beijing, such as the Palace Museum, the Great Wall and the Summer Palace and told them about the changes that have taken place in Beijing. And they said Beijing was quite different from what they had heard of and it was very beautiful. Meanwhile, we improved our spoken English with their help. I think the summer camp is very valuable. 16
