解析

小题1: C
解析 此处表示最早已知的定居者,因此选known。
小题2: D
解析 此题考查词义辨析。across指“横跨”;through指“(从……内部)穿过……”;into指“进入,到……里”;on指“在……上”。穿越白令海峡应该用across。
小题3: C
解析 用ago表示纯粹的过去。句意为:据说10 000年前印第安人由东亚穿越白令海峡和大海来到此地。
小题4: A
解析 此处选A项表示“到达此地”,reach为及物动词。根据上文可知,印第安人是首先来到加拿大的人,而此处提到的是欧洲人,B项不符合语境;由前文及常识可知,欧洲人来到加拿大时,还没有飞机,故C项错误;ship作动词时表示“用船运,运送”之意,不符合语境。
小题5: B
解析 此处covered by(覆盖着……)为过去分词短语作areas的定语。
小题6: D
解析 only a few只有一些。要注意:尽管此词组表示的数量不多,但不能用only few。
小题7: C
解析 本句主语为people,所以谓语要求用复数形式。全文时态为过去时,故选C项。
小题8: A
解析 此处cross为动词,意思是“跨过,穿过”。爱斯基摩人从亚洲到加拿大中途要穿越白令海峡。
小题9: B
解析 此处record意思是“记录”。句意为:几乎没有他们早期活动的记录。
小题10: C
解析 根据下文可以看出是法国人。
小题11: D
解析 此题考查词组“in great numbers”,表示“大量地”。
小题12: D
解析 此处where引导一个非限制性定语从句,在句中作状语。
小题13: A
解析 by the time of...意思是“到……时候为止”。后接表示过去的时间时,句子用过去完成时。
小题14: B
解析 此处为现在分词短语作定语,意思是“生活在……”。
小题15: C
解析 此处的until与not搭配,意思是“直到……才……”。
小题16: B
解析 表示不确定的数量,这四个选项中唯一正确的为B项,其他均不对。
小题17: D
解析 此处“from...”表示“来自……”,指他们的祖籍。由本段第一句可知此处介绍加拿大的移民中英国人所占的比例。
小题18: A
解析 考查词组构成。make up的意思是“组成……”。其他几个介词和make连用时,通常用被动形式。
小题19: C
解析 the turn of the century意思是“世纪之交”。
小题20: A
解析 come from来自。
核心考点
试题【The Canadian people are made up of different national races.The first ____ settl】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
“Hi,howareya.” some people say when they see a familiar face.The words run together into a mass,all sense and meaning lost. All the same,people do care how you are.After they greet you,it’s likely you will greet them back,with an equally meaningless phrase like,“Can’t complain,can’t complain.”You could probably complain,at length,or share a brilliant thought you were just beginning when a greeting interrupted you.You don’t though,you say,“Great,you?”
You are not giving each other information about your health and well­being.All the same,you are sharing information.You’re acknowledging each other’s positions as acknowledged friends,or at least as accepted acquaintances.And you are reestablishing the ties that may have lapsed(衰退) since yesterday,when you last met at the elevator or the entrance to the train station.
It’s what anthropologist(人类学家) Bronislaw Malinoski called a phatic(交流感情的) communication.Its message is not in the words you use,but in the fact that you speak ritually(仪式上地) accepted words.In Asia,for example,people may ask one another if they have eaten,or if they are busy.They’re not really asking for their lunch menu or their agenda,they are saying hello.A phatic signal merely says, “I see you there.” It says hi.
There’s embarrassment of being near people without acknowledging them.That uncomfortable feeling is one reason why lonely passengers in the subway may behave as if they cannot see anyone around them or may escape their uncomfortable situation with a book.Some people read all the way home,and never turn a page.
Your friend isn’t asking how you are,and you aren’t telling him.However,he is recognizing your existence,and when you answer,you are recognizing his.In addition,the set speech you have shared opens the door to closer communications if both agree.Someday,you may come to real close friendship,and really tell one another how you are.
Meanwhile,people who greet one another this way do care.They care enough to recognize someone’s essential humanity(人性).They send a signal across the space between,to share,very briefly and lightly,in awareness of one another.
Your greetings prove that neither of you has become a social outcast.How are you?You are still a member of society in good status.You are still the one who knows the rituals and secret passwords necessary to get to work each day.
小题1:When people greet,they ________.
A.want to show their different educational backgrounds
B.show nothing related with the words themselves
C.want to know other people’s privacy
D.express something special
小题2:According to Bronislaw Malinoski,a phatic communication ________.
A.is rarely used by Asian people
B.is too complex to be used often
C.helps establish or keep certain relationships
D.often ruins the normal relationships between friends or acquaintances
小题3:Some people seldom greet strangers because ________.
A.they want to be polite to others
B.they feel uncomfortable to do it
C.they don’t know when to greet them
D.they want to do something meaningful
小题4:What does the text mainly tell us?
A.Greetings should be given better expressions.
B.Greetings convey different meanings to different people.
C.Greetings help prove an individual’s social independence.
D.Greetings help an individual be connected with the society.

People use their mouths for many things.They eat,talk,shout and sing.They smile and they kiss.In the English language,there are many expressions using the word “mouth”.
For example,if you say bad things about a person,the person might protest(抗议) and say “Do not bad mouth me.” Sometimes,people say something to a friend or family member that they later regret because it hurts that person.Or they tell the person something they were not supposed to tell.The speaker might say,“I really put my foot in my mouth this time.” If this should happen,the speaker might feel down in the mouth.In other words,he might feel sad for saying the wrong thing.
Another situation is when someone falsely claims another person said something.The other person might protest,“I did not say that.Do not put words in my mouth.”
Some people have lots of money because they were born into a very rich family.There is an expression for this,too.You might say such a person,“was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.” This rich person is the opposite of a person who lives from hand to mouth.This person is very poor and only has enough money for the most important things in life,like food.
Parents might sometimes keep a child off sweet food as a form of punishment for saying bad things.For example,if a child says things she should not say to her parents,she might be described as a mouthy child.The parents might even tell the child to stop mouthing off.
But enough of all this talk.I have been running my mouth long enough.
小题1:What will the person say if he feels sorry for what he has said?
A.Do not bad mouth me.
B.Stop mouthing off.

Make some noise on May 7 for Music Monday.People in the U.S. and Canada will be celebrating the day by singing and playing musical instruments together.
Music Monday is the first day of National Wanna Play Music Week,which runs from May 7 to 13.The National Association of Music Merchants(NAMM) organizes the week­long celebration every year.This marks the seventh year the organization is teaming up with Canada’s Coalition for Music Education(CME),the group that started Music Monday.
“It’s a day to fill the skies with music and bring young people together in song,” CME Executive Director Holly Nimmons said.
The CME started Music Monday in 2005.It is held every year on the first Monday of May.It was created to help people realize the importance of music education programs in schools and in communities.The day also celebrates the benefits of playing music for people of all ages.
NAMM researches the effects of music on children.They found that playing music has positive effects on thinking skills and on confidence.It also teaches self­discipline(自律) and helps kids bond with their peers(同龄人).“Learning musical skills can also help in your studies of other subjects,such as math,reading and language,” Lora Bodmer,who works at NAMM,said.
Their studies show that music can also help people form friendships and connect with different groups.Nimmons says anyone can join in on the day,not just those who are musically gifted.“I think that we all have the music in us,and it’s a matter of confidence,” she said.“Sing with other people or beat drums,just enjoy the music.”
Participants can turn on the radio to join the fun.Each year a song is assigned to Music Monday.This year the song is “Tomorrow Is Coming” by Luke Doucet.The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation(CBC) will be playing the tune at 1 p.m. Eastern Time.People across North America will play or sing the song at the exact same time.The performance is meant to connect people through melody(旋律).More than 700,000 students took part in the concert last year.
Schools,after­school programs,organizations,groups and individuals throughout the U.S. and Canada can all participate in Music Monday.Students who would like to share in the celebration should let their teachers or organization leaders know.But NAMM also encourages people to pick up any instrument and play anytime on the day.

As you can see,water works hard in your body every day.That’s why it’s important  to give your body the water it needs to carry out all its different jobs.On a regular day,your body loses 2 to 3 quarts of water—enough to fill a 2­liter soda bottle.You probably guess that water is lost when you sweat—especially   on a hot day.
But your body also loses water in an almost invisible way—evaporation (蒸发).Water escapes from your body through your skin and in your breath.How?Your breath contains droplets (小滴) of water that are usually too tiny to see.They become visible for a quick second in the cold when you can “see your breath”.But water evaporates this way all year round.Your skin also contains water,which escapes in tiny droplets that go into  the air.The water in your skin evaporates into the air,but fortunately,your body can replace the water it loses so your skin doesn’t dry out.
Eating and drinking is one way to replace the water your body loses.Most foods have a lot of water in them,especially fruits and vegetables.Grapes,watermelons,oranges,and cantaloupes are delicious and full of water.
But you can’t rely_on food alone to get that water back,and that’s why it’s also a good idea to drink water  every day.You might have heard someone say that people need to drink 6 to 8 cups (1.4 to 1.9 liters) of water each day.Depending on how much  water you’re getting from foods and other liquids,6 to 8 cups might not be necessary.If you eat a lot of fruits and vegetables,or you like to eat soup every day,you’ll get some of the water your body needs.
小题1:You should drink enough water every day because________.
A.your body needs too much water
B.water does all kinds of jobs in your body
C.your body loses a lot of water every day
D.the more water you drink the better you feel
小题2:Water in your body loses by the following ways EXCEPT________.
A.breathingB.evaporating
C.sweatingD.eating
小题3:Your body has to give enough water to your skin in order to________.
A.keep the water in your skin clean
B.stop your skin from drying out
C.stop the water from losing
D.keep your skin clean all the time
小题4:What does the underlined phrase “rely on” in the fourth paragraph mean?
A.Eat up.B.Receive.
C.Depend upon.D.Digest.
