A

Getting around in Canada is fairly easy. Most cities have urban transportation systems, including buses, streetcars, and trains, and some of the larger cities also have subways.

     You can board these systems at regular stops along their routes. Some let you pay with cash while others require tickets. If you don't have a ticket for the bus, you must pay with the correct amount of money. This is because the driver does not carry any change. If you plan to stay in a city for a long time, you may want to buy a monthly pass or a package of tickets to save money. You can buy subway

     tickets at any subway station.

     If you have to take several buses or subways for a single trip, you do not need to pay money each time. Simply ask the driver for a transfer (换乘) ticket, or take one from the machines on the subway platform.

     If you are not sure where to board the bus or the streetcar, just ask someone or follow the crowd. People can usually only board at the front of the bus where you show your pass to the driver. When using public transportation, Canadians line up. First come, first serve, is a common approach to many activities in Canada, and it is considered to be extremely rude to cut in any line.

     Maps of routes and schedules are usually available from the public transit (运输) company in your area, and there is also a telephone information line. You may ask someone for the name of the transit company in your area, and then look it up in the telephone book.

56. What is this passage mainly about?

     A. How to use public transportation in Canada.

B. How to save money when traveling.

C. Where to find subways in larger cities.

     D. How public transit companies work.

57. If you pay the bus fare in cash, _____.

     A. you may be given some change

B. you can exchange money with the driver

C. it might cost you a little more

     D. you must have the exact amount of money

58. By buying a monthly pass or a package of tickets, you can ______.

A. take a bus whenever you want     B. go wherever you like

C. save money                       D. find comfortable seats

 59. If you have to change subway lines on a single trip, _____.

A. you have to pay each time

B. you should buy another ticket from the machine

C. you must ask for the driver's permission

D. you just need to pay once

B

Since the time when the Romans first settled on the Danube River and built one of their most important central European forts (堡垒), Vindobona, the city we now know as Vienna, has played a very important role in European history. Austria grew up around the city and developed into a strong empire (帝国). The capital became a famous place during the rule of the Habsburg dynasty.

     Today, Vienna is one of the most popular tourist spots in Austria as well as a major center of modern business and culture. Many different cultures have fused their cultural identities to produce the amazing Viennese culture. It is said that the most beautiful German is spoken in this old city.

     A city of music, cafes, waltzes, parks, cakes, and wine —that's Vienna. Famous composers such as Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert made Vienna into a city of music. Vienna also has a lot to offer in art and architecture. Yet the bars and clubs make a trip to Vienna an unforgettable experience. Vienna's cooking diversity is also impressive. Dumpling soup, tender boiled beef and apple rolls are typical Austrian dishes.

     The face of the city has changed time and again due to war, victory, defeat, the death of an empire and the birth of a republic, foreign occupation (占领), and the passage of time. Fortunately, the Viennese character —a strict devotion to the good life —has remained solid.

60. What can we know about Vienna in the past?

     A. It used to be a business center.

B. People there had beautiful voices.

C. Austria developed around this city.

     D. There were some forts in this city.

61. What does the underlined word "fused" in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Melted.       B. Learned.      C. Referred.    D. Protected.

62. Which of the following items about Vienna are mentioned in this passage?

①music    ②culture   ③weather ④   history   ⑤food ⑥   government  ⑦art

A. ①④⑤⑥    B. ②④⑤⑦      C. ④⑤⑥⑦     D. ②③④⑤

C

The true history of tennis did not begin until the 1850's, when the first "modern" tennis balls were invented and used. Before this point, it was a completely different game —real tennis.

     Real tennis is played on indoor courts. In fact, real tennis cannot be played outside —the players use the L-shaped walls of a real tennis court to hit and return the ball to their opponents (对手). Yes, real tennis is very similar to today's modern tennis, or "lawn tennis", which can be played on a lawn.

     Tennis as we know it today was referred to as "lawn tennis", and it did not part from real tennis until the 1850's. It was then that Charles Goodyear invented vulcanized (硫化) rubber. Vulcanization is a process that prevents natural rubber from becoming unusable so quickly. (Without it, natural rubber balls would become unusable after just a few days.)

     Walter Clopton Wingfield was usually the man who was given credit for the invention of modern tennis. He thought highly of this new form of playing tennis. Around 1874, Wingfield actually patented (取得专利权) the game. It became more and more popular among the high class toward the end of the 1800s. Tennis clubs began to be set up, and the first tennis championships were held in 1877 in Wimbledon.

     The rules of tennis changed gradually throughout the late 1800s, along with the shape of the court (球场) and the height of net, changing the history of tennis in the process!

63. Which would be the best title for the passage?

     A. The History of Real Tennis

B. The History of Modern Tennis

C. The Difference Between Real and Modern Tennis

     D. Characteristics of Modern Tennis

64. Which of the following is a characteristic of real tennis?

     A. It can be played on a lawn.

B. It can only be played on indoor courts.

C. It was very popular in the late 1800s.

     D. It was invented by Walter Clopton Wingfield.

65. The underlined word "credit" in Paragraph 4 means "______".

A. support    B. medal     C. praise       D. work

    A newspaper, a publication usually issued on a daily or weekly basis, has the main function of reporting news. Many newspapers also furnish their readers with other pieces of useful information, such as weather reports, television schedules, and stock prices. They provide commentary (评论) on politics, economics, and arts and culture. In nearly all cases and in varying degrees, newspapers depend on commercial advertising for their income.

     Newspaper publishers estimate that nearly six out of ten adults in the United States and Canada read a newspaper every day, and seven out of ten read a paper each weekend. By the time they see a newspaper, most people have already heard about breaking news stories on television or on the radio. Readers rely on newspapers to provide detailed background information and analysis (分析) which television and radio rarely offer. Newspapers not only inform readers that an event has happened but also help readers understand what led to the event and how it will affect the world.

     The staff of a large newspaper works under the constant pressure of deadlines to bring news to readers as quickly as their minds, bodies and the technology they use permit. Reporters, photographers, artists, and editors compile (编写) articles and graphics —sometimes in just a few hours. Page designers combine articles, photos, advertisements, and eye-catching headlines into page layouts (版面), then rush their work to the printer. Printing technicians may work through the night operating printing presses that can print out more than 60,000 copies per hour.

1. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?

     A. How many people read newspapers.

B. Why many people read newspapers.

C. How a newspaper comes into being.

     D. How newspapers affect us.

2. According to the passage, why do people read newspapers?

A. People want to know what happened.

B. Newspapers are cheaper than any other news medium.

C. Newspapers are more convenient than any other news medium.

D. Newspaper can supply us with more detailed information.

3. The underlined word in Paragraph 1 means "_____".

     A. offer B. review

     C. found D. produce

4. What can we learn from the passage?

     A. All the income of a newspaper comes from ads.

B. Canadians depend on newspapers more than Americans.

C. The staff of a newspaper must constantly meet deadlines.

D. Only by reading the newspaper can readers get the latest news.

5. According to the passage, what affects the pace of a newspaper's publication?

     A. The editors.       B. The printers.

C. The newspapers'human resources and technology.

D. The reporters.

书面表达(One possible version)

Dear Tom,

     I was so pleased to hear from you. Now I am writing to tell you something about my visit to Mount Lion.

     The other day I visited Mount Lion with three of my friends. When we got to the top at noon, we were tired, but the scenery there was so beautiful that we forgot our tiredness. On the top of the hill stands a temple, a little south of which lies the tomb of a famous scholar of Yuan Dynasty. We could hardly read the characters on the tombstone. There were many pine trees on the hill. It is said that two of them are over five hundred years old. It was late in the afternoon that we set off for home with a beautiful memory in our mind.

     I really hope that one day you can visit Mount Lion with us.

     Best wishes!

Yours,

Li Hua
