24、 temperature in most of Canada usually stays below 0. However, in some parts of Canada，such as southern British Columbia, the temperature rarely goes below 0. In most of the regions in Canada where people live, snow will be on the ground from midDecember to the middle of March. Though Canadas winter
25、 may be much colder and longer than you are used to, it can be very enjoyable. For many Canadians, being active in winter is an important part of enjoying life. There are many outdoor winter activities, including skiing, ice fishing, walking, and skating. Joining in one of these activities may help
26、you appreciate winter and enjoy your time outside in the snow.Dressing for winter During winter in Canada，you will need warm clothing. If possible, arrive with these items or be prepared to buy them soon after your arrival. You will need： *Insulated waterproof boots *A scarf for your neck *A hat tha
27、t covers your ears *Gloves or mittens for your hands *Thick winter coats, pants and sweatersLayers(层) keep you warm It is a good idea to layer your clothing by, for example, wearing a Tshirt and a sweater underneath a jacket. If you become too hot, it is always easier to remove a piece of clothing t
28、han to add another. On the West Coast, prepare to dress for cool rainy or snowy weather. You will need： *A warm waterproof coat *Lined waterproof footwear such as rain boots or snow boots *Gloves or mittens（手套） *Waterproof hats *An umbrella Learn more about weather and seasons across Canada. You can
29、 also contact Related Links, for example, an immigrantserving organization in the community where you live for more information about dressing for winter.51. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A. To show many outdoor winter activities. B. To tell about the details about Canada. C. To e
30、ncourage you to enjoy winter in Canada. D. To call for attention to the winter of Canada.52. If you stay in Canada for the coming winter, you will prepare all EXCEPT_. A. snow boots and glovesB. thick winter coats and a scarf C. mittens and sunglassesD. waterproof hats and a scarf53. Where can you r
31、ead the passage? A. In the newspaper. B. In a guide book. C. From a magazine. D. On the Internet.B Rainforest is home to around twothirds of all plant and animal species found on landin addition to millions of people who depend on them for survivalour remaining ancient forests are some of the most d
32、iverse ecosystems known to science. They are also very important to the health of our planet, especially when it comes to regulating（调节）the climate. But ancient forests around the world are under attack. Protecting rainforests is on the global agenda（议事日程）in a big way. Governments now recognize the
33、importance of protecting tropical forests in order to avoid dangerous climate change, and there is now much debate（争论）. As governments try to thrash out the details of a new international agreement, expected to be signed at the end of 2009, they are discussing how best to include measures to save ra
34、inforests, and therefore address one of the major causes of climate change. Worldwide, forest destruction causes more greenhouse gas emissions（排放） each year than do all the trains, planes and cars on the planet. So if we are to deal with global warming, there is an urgent need to find ways to reduce
35、 the 20% of global greenhouse gas emissions caused by forest destruction each year, and to keep the remaining forests standing. We need to protect the planets remaining forests not only to stop climate change from getting worse, but to ensure that we can stand the effects of global warming. Healthy
36、forests take in and store quantities of carbon, helping to regulate temperature and generate rain. When they are destroyed, this carbon is let out into the atmosphere. Thus keeping forests standing is both an important part of regulating climate change and of adapting（适应） to a warmer world. To date,
37、 most of the talk has focused on how to pay for reducing deforestation（滥伐森林）, rather than on how to actually go about doing it. We believe governments need to support local people to protect their environment, as we have been showing for 20 years can be a very effective way of saving rainforests.54.
38、 The best title for the passage is_. A. Rainforest and Climate ChangeB. Strategies on Protecting Rainforest C. Serious Deforestation to RainforestD. Present Situation of Rainforest55. What does the underlined part “thrash out” in the second paragraph means? A. Try to understand. B. Come up with. C.
39、Hide away. D. Have a thorough discussion.56. From the text we can learn that healthy forest_. A. can keep us healthy and happy B. can increase the effect from global warming C. can be helpful in regulating the temperature D. can give out large amounts of carbonC One of the most striking findings of
40、a recent questionnaire in the UK is that of the people interviewed, one in two believes that it is becoming more difficult to meet someone to start a family with. Why are many people finding it increasingly difficult to start and keep close relationships（关系）? Does modern life really make it harder t
41、o fall in love? Or are we making it harder for ourselves? It is certainly the case today that nowadays couples benefit in different ways from relationships. Women no longer rely upon partners for economic security（安全性）or status. A man doesnt expect his wife to be in sole（唯一的）charge of running his ho
42、usehold and raising his children. But perhaps the knowledge that we can live perfectly well without a partnership means that it takes much more to persuade people to give up their independence. In theory, finding a partner should be much simpler these days. Only a few generations ago，your choiceof s
43、oul mate was limited by geography, social customs and family tradition. Although it was never clear, many marriages were essentially arranged. Now those barriers have been broken down. You can approach a builder or a doctor in any bar in any city on any given evening. When the world is your oyster（牡
44、蛎）, you surely have a better chance of finding a pearl. But it seems that the traditions have been replaced by an even tighter restriction: the limitation of choice. The expectations of partners are made greater to an unmanageable degree: good looks, impressive salary, kind to grandmother, and so on
45、. There is no room for error in the first impression. We think that a relationship can be perfect. If it isnt, it is intended to be thrown away. We work to protect ourselves against and dont put in the hard emotional labor needed to build a strong relationship. Twelve-hour work at the office makes r
46、elaxed after-hours dating（约会） difficult. The cost of housing and child-raising creates pressure to have a stable（稳定的）income and career before a life partnership. 57. Nowadays, in a family, _. A. men begin to depend on womenB. couples share the burdens C. men are responsible for houseworkD. couples c
47、ant get along together58. People dont want to give up their independence because_. A. they cant bear arranged marriagesB. they want to have more choices C. they dont want to follow traditionsD. they think they can live happily alone59. People are not eager to date because_. A. it requires luck to bu
48、ild a strong relationship B. it takes them too much energy to work C. it needs faith（信心）to have a life partnership D. it causes mental problems to find a life partner60. Which of the following can best describe the main idea of the passage? A. The expectations of partners and financial （经济的）pressure
49、 may prevent a relationship. B. People should spend more money on marriage today. C. Independence is much more important than love. D. Even a perfect marriage can be given up for the sake of independence. 第II卷 非选择题（共五大题；满分50分）五、课文填空（共10小题；每空1分，满分10分）根据所学课文内容填空，请将答案写在答题纸的相应位置上（每空一词）。1. A scholar from
