10、出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AOne Canada, Two LanguagesCanada is one of the few nations in the world to have two official languages: English and French. There are 10 provinces in the country but only one of theseQuebec is known as “French Canada”. This is because it was founded by French explorers while Britis
11、h adventurers discovered the rest.Canada left the British empire(帝国) in 1867 to become an independent country and English and French have been recognized as the official languages ever since.Most people speak English as their first language and the two national television networks broadcast in Engli
12、sh throughout the country. Apart from in Quebec and a few places on the east coast, French television is very rare.The same goes for traffic signs and menus, for example, outside of Quebec, there are only a few places where youll see traffic signs in French. In restaurants, its almost impossible to
13、find French on the menu unless you are in the heartland (中心地带) of French Canada. However, all products sold in Canada must, by law, have labels (标签) and instructions in both languages.In Canadas English- speaking provinces, official bilingualism (双语) means that students can choose to complete a spec
14、ial French language course. Under this program, they are taught most of their subjects in French.If a student begins the course in kindergarten (幼儿园) or Grade One, it is likely that all their lessons will be in French. However, if they start at junior high school, 25 percent of the teaching will con
15、tinue to be in English.21. How many provinces are there in Canada?A. Ten. B. Nine. C. Eleven. D. Two.22. Which country controlled Canada before its independence?A. France. B. Britain. C. America. D. Germany23. Where can you watch French television programs?A. Only in Quebec. B. In Quebec and a few o
16、ther places.C. From the two national television networks. D. All over Canada24. What do we know about the education in Canada?A. In English- speaking provinces only English courses are offered.B. If you choose a special French language course, most of the subjects are taught in French.C. The courses
17、 in primary school are all taught in English.D. Most of the courses in junior high schools are taught in English.BCan you remember the first time you learned how to ride a bike or drive a car? Learning these skills changed your life forever and opened up new horizons. Learning about computers can be
18、 like learning how to ride a bike or drive a car. Once you have invested the time to master the skills, you will never go back to the old days. The new technology is simply too convenient and too powerful.Technological developments through the years have enabled us to do more with less effort. We ha
19、ve continuously looked for better ways of doing things. Each invention and new development has allowed us to extend our capabilities(能力). Today we see one of the most dramatic technologies ever developedthe computer. It extends the capabilities of our minds.Computers have saved organizations million
20、s of dollars. Furthermore, these same computer systems have opened up new opportunities that would have gone undiscovered or neglected. The computer can multiply what we can do, and the return on investment(投资)is high. The growth of computer usage is surprising. On the other hand, the computer can d
21、o serious damage. Invasion of privacy, fraud(欺诈),and computer-related mistakes are just a few shocking examples.The computer is like a double-edged sword. It has the ability to cut us free from some activities, but it can also cut deeply into profits, personal privacy, and our society in general. Ho
22、w it is used is not a function of the current technology. It is strictly a function of how people decide to use or misuse this new technology. The choice is yours, and only through a knowledge of computer systems will you be able to avoid the danger while enjoying the many, many benefits of the comp
23、uter age. 25. The writer thinks learning about computers is like learning how to ride a bike or drive a car because_.A. it is simple and practical B. it needs a lot of practiceC. it leads people to new life experience D. it takes much time to master the skills26.

24、bring people the following benefits EXCEPT_. A. avoiding mistakes B. saving money C. making money D. opening up opportunities. 27.

25、strict rules over the use computers D. make more investments in the technology28. This passage is probably written for_A. computer teachers B. computer producers C. computer learners D. computer programmers CWhos in control of your life? Whos pulling your strings? For the majority of us, its other p
26、eople-society, colleagues, friends, family or our religious community. We learned this way of operating when we were very young, of course. We were brainwashed. We discovered that feeling important and feeling accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other p
27、eople like us. As Oscar Wilde puts it, Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone elses opinions, their lives a mimicry(模仿), their passions a quotation.So when people tell us how wonderful we are, it makes us feel good. We long for this, good feeling like a drugwe are addicted to it an
28、d seek it out wherever we can. Therefore, we are so eager for the approval (赞同) of others that we live unhappy and limited lives, failing to do the things we really want to. Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsened lives to keep getting their fix（一剂毒品）, we worsen our own existence to get ou
29、r own constant fix of approval.But, just as with any drug, there is a price to pay. The price of the approval drug is freedomthe freedom to be ourselves. The truth is that we cannot control what other people think. People have their own agenda, and they come with their own baggage and, in the end, t
30、heyre more interested in themselves than in you. Furthermore, if we try to live by the opinions of others, we will build our life on sinking sand. Everyone has a different way of thinking, and people change their opinions all the time. The person who tries to please everyone will only end up getting
31、 exhausted (tired) and probably pleasing no one in the process.So how can we take back control? I think theres only one way :make a conscious decision to stop caring what other people think. We should guide ourselves by means of a set of valuesnot values imposed from the outside by others, but innat
32、e values which come from within. If we are driven by these values and not by the changing opinions and value systems of others; we will live a more authentic, effective, purposeful and happy life.29.

Changing opinions may cost us our freedom. B. We may lose ourselves to please others.C. We need to pay for what we wan
34、t to get. D. The price of taking the drug is freedom.31. It can be concluded from the passage that_.A. its better to do what we like B. we shouldnt care what others thinkC. we shouldnt change our own opinions D. its important to accept others opinions32. The author tries to persuade the readers to a
35、ccept his arguments mainly by_.A. analyzing causes and effects B. providing examples and factsC. discussing questions D. making suggestionsD Make the most of collegeDear Daughter, As we drove off from Columbia, I wanted to write a letter to you to tell you all that is on my mind. First, I want to te
36、ll you how proud we are. Getting into Columbia is a real testament （证明）of what a great well-rounded student you are. You should be as proud of yourself as we are. Your college years will be the most important of your life. It is in college that you will discover what learning is about. This will be
37、the period where you go from teacher-taught to master-inspired, after which you must become a self-learner. So do take each subject seriously, and even if what you learn isnt critical for your life, the learning skills you acquire will be something you will cherish forever. Follow your passion in co
38、llege. Take courses you think you will enjoy. Dont be trapped bywhat others think or say, but make up your own mind. Most importantly, make friends and be happy. College friends are often the best in life. Pick a few friends and become really close to them - pick the ones who are genuine to you. Don
39、t worry about their hobbies, grades, looks or even personalities. Start planning early - what would you like to do? Where would you like to live? What would you like to learn? I think your plan to study fashion is good, and you should decide where you want to be, and get onto the right courses. Whet
40、her it is summer-planning, or coursework planning, or picking a major, or managing your time, you should take control of your life.
