After leaving Vancouver Airport，I got on the Skytrain to downtown Vancouver.I’d hardly sat down when two local ladies got on the train，sat next to me and started chatting with me.When I got to Burrard Station，I asked a passerby for directions to my hotel.He took a lot of time to explain it to me.But I still got confused and had to ask another passerby for directions.This time I was guided along the street practically to the door of my hotel.
So far，after just 45 minutes in Vancouver，I’d met four Vancouverites (温哥华人)，all of whom were unbelievably friendly and helpful.Before I came to Canada，I was told Canadians were friendly.Well，that’s really true.
When I arrived at my hotel，it was 4：00 pm and I only had one day to explore Vancouver，so after admiring the harbour views from my hotel room，I had a quick shower，cast one more longing glance at the bed，and then stepped out into the bright Vancouver sunshine.
It was a sunny spring day.I planned to visit Stanley Park，just a tenminute walk from my hotel，so I took a bike from Spokes Bicycle Rentals and cycled through the park，stopping every few meters to take photos，admire the wildlife and watch the locals enjoying the sunshine.As a traveler，one can walk，bike，or go roller skating around Vancouver’s Stanley Park.It’s a popular local hangout (某人常去的地方) whether you want to sunbathe or pose for your wedding photos.
I could have hung out in Stanley Park until dusk，but I had to keep moving as two friends and some Vancouver locals were meeting me at the hotel at 6：00 pm.So I had to leave to meet them.
If you are interested in my time in Canada，come back to my blog tomorrow.

The first people in Canada crossed the Bering Strait from Asia.In the north the Inuit lived by hunting seals，walruses and whales.They also hunted caribou.On the west coast people hunted deer，bear and beaver.They also fished.On the plains people lived by hunting buffalo.In the east people grew crops of beans，squash，maize and sunflower seeds.
The first Europeans to reach Canada were the Vikings.In 986 a Viking called Bjarni Herjolfsson was blown off course by a storm and he spotted a new land.However he sailed away without landing.In 1001 a man named Leif Eriksson landed in the new land，which he named Vinland (it was part of Canada)．However Eriksson did not stay permanently.Later the Vikings did establish a colony in North America but they abandoned it because of conflict with the natives.
However after the Vikings Canada was forgotten until the end of the 15th century.In 1497 the English king Henry Ⅶ sent an Italian named John Cabot on an expedition across the Atlantic to Newfoundland.Cabot discovered rich fishing waters off the coast of Canada.
Then in 1534 and in 1535－36 a Frenchman named Jacques Cartier (1491－1557) sailed on two expeditions to Canada.On 10 August 1535 (St Lawrence’s Day) he sailed into the St Lawrence River，which he named after the saint.
However no permanent European settlements were made in Canada until the early 17th century.In 1603 a Frenchman named Samuel de Champlain (1567－1635) sailed up the St Lawrence River.In 1604 he founded Port Royal in Acadia (Nova Scotia)．In 1608 Samuel de Champlain founded Quebec.(The name Quebec is believed to be an Algonquin word meaning a narrow part of a river)．In 1642 the French founded Montreal.The new colony in Canada was called New France.By 1685 the population of New France was about 10,000.By 1740 it was 48,000.

EDMONTON，CANADA—The Etzio is one of the oldest buildings in one of the city’s oldest neighbourhoods，but it’s set to be knocked down.Edmontonians are hoping more can be done to preserve (保留) more of the city’s history.
“The reason the area is popular in the first place is because it’s a historic neighbourhood.And I think it’s important that we preserve that history，” said Mark Wilson，owner of Vivid Print，a shop on Whyte Avenue at 103 Street.
Wilson’s business is located in a building two doors down from the Etzio，a building that is more than a century old.But after 117 years on Whyte Avenue，the building is coming down to make way for a new threefloor development.
“It has become acceptable to simply pull down old buildings and put up new buildings that look old，” said Wilson.“The words on the sidewalks here say historic area.Well，it’s not historic if all the buildings are 10 years old.”
It’s a move that disappoints Wilson and others on the street who believe more should be done to keep the character of Edmonton.
“I think in this area it’s important because it keeps the flavour of Edmonton，and Edmonton is known for Whyte Ave，” said a woman on Saturday afternoon.
“Some of the old culture should still be there，I think，” added a man who was walking along the street.“It makes Edmonton unique (独一无二的)．Without it，it just becomes another mall or it could be any other city in the world.”
Wilson—looking fondly at the old building—believes a little piece of history is lost with every building that’s torn down.
After the Etzio building is torn down，the Old Strathcona Hotel and the Ross building will be the only two buildings left from the 1800s.
语篇解读 本文是一则新闻报道。古建筑面临拆除，市民多有不舍。
29．Why does Wilson consider the Etzio important?
A．It helps him develop his business.
B．His neighbours live there.
C．It’s a symbol of history.
D．His shop is inside it.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中的because it’s a historic neighbourhood可知，Wilson认为Etzio重要是因为它是有着100多年悠久历史的古建筑，是历史的见证。
答案： C
30．In Wilson’s eyes，what will be done to the city is________.
A．acceptable B．popular
C．unpleasant D．strange
解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段Wilson说的话和第五段中的It’s a move that disappoints Wilson可以推测，Wilson对于拆除Etzio这一做法感到不愉快。
答案： C
31．What does the underlined word “it” in the text refer to?
A．The Etzio building. B．The old culture.
C．Edmonton. D．The street.
解析： 篇章结构题。倒数第三段中连续出现了四个指代词it；我们先来分析第一个it：It makes Edmonton unique，这句中的It指代上一句中的Some of the old culture；接着的这句Without it，it just becomes another mall or it could be any other city in the world中的第一个it指代的也是the old culture，第二、三个it均指代Edmonton。该段的大意为：古老的文化应该保留下来，这些古老的文化使得Edmonton很独特；如果没有这些古老的文化，那么Edmonton这个地方就会变成另一个商场，或者和世界上的任何一座城市没什么区别。
答案： B
32．What can be the best title for the text?
A．117yearold building to be torn down
B．New development being met with disagreements
C．Edmonton business owner makes a move
D．Old buildings in Edmonton face an uncertain future
解析： 标题归纳题。本文是一则新闻报道，文章首段就点明了主旨，即：The Etzio is one of the oldest buildings in one of the city’s oldest neighbourhoods，but it’s set to be knocked down。由此可知，A项作标题统领了全文。
答案： A
D
An animal that is of great importance to the southeastern coast of Oman is the abalone，a shellfish that has become the center of the nation’s multimilliondollar industry.Once，abalone shellfish were brought to the surface in the hope that their bodies had beautiful pearls.Today，the shellfish are caught for a different reason—restaurant menus！The fresh white shellfish has a pleasant taste and is the most highly valued product from Omani waters.
Abalone live in shallow (浅的) sea waters.Young abalone live in small groups，holding on to the undersides of rocks，while the adults live in larger groups together in rocky cracks.They can only survive successfully in areas where cold，rich water rises from the sea bed.There，in the shallow，brightly lit conditions，the abalone shellfish live.
The environmental requirements for cool water conditions are seldom met and，as a result，abalone fisheries worldwide are very restricted.Until recently，there was a threeyear official order against abalone fishing in Oman and now fishing is only allowed from October 20 to November 15 each year.
The coast of Dhofar in Oman is one of the friendly environments that support abalone populations.The southern coast of Oman experiences monsoon (季风) winds across the surface of the sea from April to September.As these winds blow across the surface，the rich cold water from the depths of the Arabian Sea can easily rise and move towards the coast.
After the monsoon period，fishermen jump into the sea，reaching a depth of 10 meters.Groups of up to ten men search for abalone living on rocks and remove the shells using a knife，before coming up for air.A good fisherman searches for large adults and will get up to 600 abalone a day.
语篇解读 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了阿曼的鲍鱼产业。
33．Why do Omani fishermen catch abalone nowadays?
A．They are good pets.
B．They are very delicious.
C．There are pearls in their bodies.
D．Their shells are beautiful and useful.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段中的Today，the shellfish are caught for a different reason—restaurant menus可知，如今阿曼的渔民采集鲍鱼是因为它味道鲜美。
答案： B
34．What do we know about abalone?
A．They prefer the darkness.
B．They live under the sea bed.
C．They face bad rocky conditions.
D．They need special environments.
解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段中的They can only survive successfully in areas where cold，rich water rises from the sea bed可知，鲍鱼的生长需要特殊的环境。
答案： D
35．What does the underlined word “restricted” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Strange. B．Controlled.
C．Unpopular. D．Underdeveloped.
解析： 词义猜测题。根据划线词下一句中的there was a threeyear official order against abalone fishing in Oman and now fishing is only allowed from October 20 to November 15 each year可知，鲍鱼的捕捉受到严格的控制。
答案： B

On television all over the world there are programmes about the work of the police.They are popular because they are 61.________ (usual) very exciting.In London there’s a television programme 62.________(call) “Police Five” because it lasts for five minutes once a week.A television reporter，Shaw Taylor，talks about 63.________(crime) in the London area.He asks for public help.The police station needs the help of ordinary people because sometimes you or I have information that can be 64.________(use)．

Sometimes the police find a car 69.________some money.Shaw Taylor shows them on television.The owners sometimes see them.Then they can telephone the police and say，“Thank you very much.That’s 70.________(I)！”
61．解析： 作状语，表示时间，用副词usually。此处表示“因为它们通常很令人兴奋”。
答案： usually
62．解析： programme与call之间是被动关系，所以本空应该是一个作定语的过去分词。
答案： called
63．解析： crime在此表示“罪行”，是可数名词；此处表示复数概念，故用复数形式。
答案： crimes
64．解析： 在be的后面，作表语，说明主语information是“有用的”，所以用形容词useful。
答案： useful
65．解析： 定语从句中提到“偷东西”是发生了的，故应该用一般过去时。
答案： stole
66．解析： 根据后面的定语从句可知，这里的cars指的是小偷逃跑时开的车，所以本空用定冠词表特指。
答案： the
67．解析： 要用的这个词是用来引导非限制性定语从句的，而且在从句中充当宾语，指事物，所以用which。
答案： which
68．解析： 此处表示“在……的帮助下”，所以应用介词with。
答案： With
69．解析： 句意为“有时候警察会发现一辆车或一些钱”，a car与some money是选择关系，所以本空用or。
答案： or
70．解析： 本空要用的词指代上文提到的要认领的东西，且在句中作表语，所以用名词性物主代词mine。
答案： mine

After leaving Vancouver Airport，I got on the Skytrain to downtown Vancouver.I’d hardly sat down when two local ladies got on the train，sat next to me and started chatting with me.When I got to Burrard Station，I asked a passerby for directions to my hotel.He took a lot of time to explain it to me.But I still got confused and had to ask another passerby for directions.This time I was guided along the street practically to the door of my hotel.
So far，after just 45 minutes in Vancouver，I’d met four Vancouverites (温哥华人)，all of whom were unbelievably friendly and helpful.Before I came to Canada，I was told Canadians were friendly.Well，that’s really true.
When I arrived at my hotel，it was 4：00 pm and I only had one day to explore Vancouver，so after admiring the harbour views from my hotel room，I had a quick shower，cast one more longing glance at the bed，and then stepped out into the bright Vancouver sunshine.
It was a sunny spring day.I planned to visit Stanley Park，just a tenminute walk from my hotel，so I took a bike from Spokes Bicycle Rentals and cycled through the park，stopping every few meters to take photos，admire the wildlife and watch the locals enjoying the sunshine.As a traveler，one can walk，bike，or go roller skating around Vancouver’s Stanley Park.It’s a popular local hangout (某人常去的地方) whether you want to sunbathe or pose for your wedding photos.
I could have hung out in Stanley Park until dusk，but I had to keep moving as two friends and some Vancouver locals were meeting me at the hotel at 6：00 pm.So I had to leave to meet them.
If you are interested in my time in Canada，come back to my blog tomorrow.

The first people in Canada crossed the Bering Strait from Asia.In the north the Inuit lived by hunting seals，walruses and whales.They also hunted caribou.On the west coast people hunted deer，bear and beaver.They also fished.On the plains people lived by hunting buffalo.In the east people grew crops of beans，squash，maize and sunflower seeds.
The first Europeans to reach Canada were the Vikings.In 986 a Viking called Bjarni Herjolfsson was blown off course by a storm and he spotted a new land.However he sailed away without landing.In 1001 a man named Leif Eriksson landed in the new land，which he named Vinland (it was part of Canada)．However Eriksson did not stay permanently.Later the Vikings did establish a colony in North America but they abandoned it because of conflict with the natives.
However after the Vikings Canada was forgotten until the end of the 15th century.In 1497 the English king Henry Ⅶ sent an Italian named John Cabot on an expedition across the Atlantic to Newfoundland.Cabot discovered rich fishing waters off the coast of Canada.
Then in 1534 and in 1535－36 a Frenchman named Jacques Cartier (1491－1557) sailed on two expeditions to Canada.On 10 August 1535 (St Lawrence’s Day) he sailed into the St Lawrence River，which he named after the saint.
However no permanent European settlements were made in Canada until the early 17th century.In 1603 a Frenchman named Samuel de Champlain (1567－1635) sailed up the St Lawrence River.In 1604 he founded Port Royal in Acadia (Nova Scotia)．In 1608 Samuel de Champlain founded Quebec.(The name Quebec is believed to be an Algonquin word meaning a narrow part of a river)．In 1642 the French founded Montreal.The new colony in Canada was called New France.By 1685 the population of New France was about 10,000.By 1740 it was 48,000.

EDMONTON，CANADA—The Etzio is one of the oldest buildings in one of the city’s oldest neighbourhoods，but it’s set to be knocked down.Edmontonians are hoping more can be done to preserve (保留) more of the city’s history.
“The reason the area is popular in the first place is because it’s a historic neighbourhood.And I think it’s important that we preserve that history，” said Mark Wilson，owner of Vivid Print，a shop on Whyte Avenue at 103 Street.
Wilson’s business is located in a building two doors down from the Etzio，a building that is more than a century old.But after 117 years on Whyte Avenue，the building is coming down to make way for a new threefloor development.
“It has become acceptable to simply pull down old buildings and put up new buildings that look old，” said Wilson.“The words on the sidewalks here say historic area.Well，it’s not historic if all the buildings are 10 years old.”
It’s a move that disappoints Wilson and others on the street who believe more should be done to keep the character of Edmonton.
“I think in this area it’s important because it keeps the flavour of Edmonton，and Edmonton is known for Whyte Ave，” said a woman on Saturday afternoon.
“Some of the old culture should still be there，I think，” added a man who was walking along the street.“It makes Edmonton unique (独一无二的)．Without it，it just becomes another mall or it could be any other city in the world.”
Wilson—looking fondly at the old building—believes a little piece of history is lost with every building that’s torn down.
After the Etzio building is torn down，the Old Strathcona Hotel and the Ross building will be the only two buildings left from the 1800s.
语篇解读 本文是一则新闻报道。古建筑面临拆除，市民多有不舍。
29．Why does Wilson consider the Etzio important?
A．It helps him develop his business.
B．His neighbours live there.
C．It’s a symbol of history.
D．His shop is inside it.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中的because it’s a historic neighbourhood可知，Wilson认为Etzio重要是因为它是有着100多年悠久历史的古建筑，是历史的见证。
答案： C
30．In Wilson’s eyes，what will be done to the city is________.
A．acceptable B．popular
C．unpleasant D．strange
解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段Wilson说的话和第五段中的It’s a move that disappoints Wilson可以推测，Wilson对于拆除Etzio这一做法感到不愉快。
答案： C
31．What does the underlined word “it” in the text refer to?
A．The Etzio building. B．The old culture.
C．Edmonton. D．The street.
解析： 篇章结构题。倒数第三段中连续出现了四个指代词it；我们先来分析第一个it：It makes Edmonton unique，这句中的It指代上一句中的Some of the old culture；接着的这句Without it，it just becomes another mall or it could be any other city in the world中的第一个it指代的也是the old culture，第二、三个it均指代Edmonton。该段的大意为：古老的文化应该保留下来，这些古老的文化使得Edmonton很独特；如果没有这些古老的文化，那么Edmonton这个地方就会变成另一个商场，或者和世界上的任何一座城市没什么区别。
答案： B
32．What can be the best title for the text?
A．117yearold building to be torn down
B．New development being met with disagreements
C．Edmonton business owner makes a move
D．Old buildings in Edmonton face an uncertain future
解析： 标题归纳题。本文是一则新闻报道，文章首段就点明了主旨，即：The Etzio is one of the oldest buildings in one of the city’s oldest neighbourhoods，but it’s set to be knocked down。由此可知，A项作标题统领了全文。
答案： A
D
An animal that is of great importance to the southeastern coast of Oman is the abalone，a shellfish that has become the center of the nation’s multimilliondollar industry.Once，abalone shellfish were brought to the surface in the hope that their bodies had beautiful pearls.Today，the shellfish are caught for a different reason—restaurant menus！The fresh white shellfish has a pleasant taste and is the most highly valued product from Omani waters.
Abalone live in shallow (浅的) sea waters.Young abalone live in small groups，holding on to the undersides of rocks，while the adults live in larger groups together in rocky cracks.They can only survive successfully in areas where cold，rich water rises from the sea bed.There，in the shallow，brightly lit conditions，the abalone shellfish live.
The environmental requirements for cool water conditions are seldom met and，as a result，abalone fisheries worldwide are very restricted.Until recently，there was a threeyear official order against abalone fishing in Oman and now fishing is only allowed from October 20 to November 15 each year.
The coast of Dhofar in Oman is one of the friendly environments that support abalone populations.The southern coast of Oman experiences monsoon (季风) winds across the surface of the sea from April to September.As these winds blow across the surface，the rich cold water from the depths of the Arabian Sea can easily rise and move towards the coast.
After the monsoon period，fishermen jump into the sea，reaching a depth of 10 meters.Groups of up to ten men search for abalone living on rocks and remove the shells using a knife，before coming up for air.A good fisherman searches for large adults and will get up to 600 abalone a day.

On television all over the world there are programmes about the work of the police.They are popular because they are 61.________ (usual) very exciting.In London there’s a television programme 62.________(call) “Police Five” because it lasts for five minutes once a week.A television reporter，Shaw Taylor，talks about 63.________(crime) in the London area.He asks for public help.The police station needs the help of ordinary people because sometimes you or I have information that can be 64.________(use)．

Sometimes the police find a car 69.________some money.Shaw Taylor shows them on television.The owners sometimes see them.Then they can telephone the police and say，“Thank you very much.That’s 70.________(I)！”
61．解析： 作状语，表示时间，用副词usually。此处表示“因为它们通常很令人兴奋”。
答案： usually
62．解析： programme与call之间是被动关系，所以本空应该是一个作定语的过去分词。
答案： called
63．解析： crime在此表示“罪行”，是可数名词；此处表示复数概念，故用复数形式。
答案： crimes
64．解析： 在be的后面，作表语，说明主语information是“有用的”，所以用形容词useful。
答案： useful
65．解析： 定语从句中提到“偷东西”是发生了的，故应该用一般过去时。
答案： stole
66．解析： 根据后面的定语从句可知，这里的cars指的是小偷逃跑时开的车，所以本空用定冠词表特指。
答案： the
67．解析： 要用的这个词是用来引导非限制性定语从句的，而且在从句中充当宾语，指事物，所以用which。
答案： which
68．解析： 此处表示“在……的帮助下”，所以应用介词with。
答案： With
69．解析： 句意为“有时候警察会发现一辆车或一些钱”，a car与some money是选择关系，所以本空用or。
答案： or
70．解析： 本空要用的词指代上文提到的要认领的东西，且在句中作表语，所以用名词性物主代词mine。
答案： mine
