1．I 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 four-hour drive from my home in New Hampshire．We felt a thrill as we crossed the border into Canada．It was the first time that 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 Saint Catherine 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．Both men and women look like they stepped out of the pages of a magazine．
All of that fashion has to keep them warm since Montreal is so cold．Last year it broke the record for the most snowfall in North America．To hide from the cold we went into a 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 French-speaking city in the world．But since almost the rest of Canadians 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 we'd 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．
（1）Which of the following can NOT be concluded from Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4？
A．The author and his friends couldn't wait to explore the city．
B．The author wasn't used to the weather of Montreal．
C．The citizens from Montreal care much about what they wear．
D．Montreal often holds fashion shows．
（2）What can we infer from the passage？
A．The author often went to China for a visit．
B．The people they met in the diner were kind and helpful．
C．All the people in the diner were locals．
D．The author went to Montreal on business．
（3）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？
A．The author listened to Canadian radio programmes and chose their first stop as advised．
B．The author took a trip to Montreal-the third largest city in Canada．
C．Montreal broke the record for the most snowfall in the world last year．
D．Montreal is a city which is both traditional and modern．組卷：5引用：1難度：0.5 -
2．Cities usually have a good reason for being where they are，like a nearby port or river．People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade．New York City，for example，is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River．Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million．But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time．Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight．In 1896，Dawson，Canada，was unmapped wilderness（荒野）．But gold was discovered there in 1897，and two years later，it was one of the largest cities in the West，with a population of 30，000．
Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris．People went there for gold．They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers．The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warning．An avalanche（雪崩） once closed the path，killing 63 people．For many who made it to Dawson，however，the rewards were worth the difficult trip．Of the first 20，000 people who dug for gold，4，000 got rich．About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives．
But no matter how rich they were，Dawson was never comfortable．Necessities like food and wood were very expensive．But soon，the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found．The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down，and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska，they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come．Today，people still come and go-to see where the Canadian gold rush happened．Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City-its present population is 762．
（1）What attracted the early settlers to New York City？
A．Its business culture．
B．Its small population．
C．Its geographical position．
D．Its favourable climate．
（2）What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson？
A．Two-thirds of them stayed there．
B．One out of five people got rich．
C．Almost everyone gave up．
D．Half of them died．
（3）What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson？
A．They found the city too crowded．
B．They wanted to try their luck elsewhere．
C．They were unable to stand the winter．
D．They were short of food．
（4）What is the text mainly about？
A．The rise and fall of a city．
B．The gold rush in Canada．
C．Journeys into the wilderness．
D．Tourism in Dawson．組卷：35引用：3難度：0.5

Last weekend，I went to Mark's new house nearby a forest for a little get-together．After lunch when I was chatting with him and his wife Cody，he asked me， "Hey Tom，have you ever been to a secret spot？" Before I could even finish saying no，Cody and Mark were already at the door with their jackets on．And the next moment we were heading out into the forest with a camera，a fishingnet and a plastic bucket（桶）．
We walked through the forest along a path by a small river．Breathing the fresh air，we three talked and laughed all the way．
"Hey!What are you guys doing？" Someone suddenly shouted from behind．Mark and Cody's eyes immediately widened，and without a word they started running．I had no choice but to follow them，getting my shoes wet and dirty with mud．We probably ran for about 10 minutes before Mark and Cody slowed down．I stopped to catch my breath and asked． "Who was that？"
Mark replied， "The most annoying neighbor ever．If he caught up with us，there's no telling what could happen．He is always making fun of us．I dislike him．" We kept walking on for a few more minutes．Then a beautiful lake appeared before our eyes． "Wow!Amazing!" I shouted and could hardly hold back my excitement．The lake was large and the water was deep and blue，looking so peaceful with tall trees around it．
