The Canadian flag shows a stylized red maple leaf with 11 points on a white background,with red
borders down each side.The Canadian flag is twice as long as its width.The white square containing
the red maple leaf is the same width as the flag.Canada is a very large country,too.It is the second
largest country in the world.By contrast,it has a very small population.There are only about 29
millinon people there.Most Canadians are of British or French origin,and French is an official
language as well English.About 45% of the people are of British origin,that is,they or their parents
or grandparents,etc,come from Britain.Nearly 30% are of French origin.Most of the French-Canadians live in the province of quebec.Over the years people have come to live in Canada from many countries in the world.They are mostly from European countries and also from China,as well as other Asian countries.

11.One of the special features of English people is self-discipline (自律).Generally,English people are polite and always want to please others.On the other hand,they don't like to show their emotions,even in dangerous situations.Imagine the scene!Some English people are caught in a violent storm in the forest.Anybody else would be anxious to run away.The English would just try to hide their emotions.Not a sign of fear would be seen on their faces.
We often hear of the English"reserve"(矜持).On a long railway journey,with four Englishmen sitting together,often there won't be a single word spoken during the whole journey.The English think it is a bad manner to ask personal questions.That wouldn't be the case in America.In a short ride in New York,a taxi driver will tell you about himself,his wife and his family,and probably the towns of England he has visited,too.
The English value privacy (隱私) very much.An Englishman's house usually has a small garden with a fence all around to separate it from the neighbors'.An Englishman's house is his castle.
Finally,we have to refer to the most special feature of the Scottish (蘇格蘭的) people-the Scottish dress.Scotland is probably best known to the world for its traditional costume-the kilt.This short,skirt-like piece of clothing is worn by men.
The kilt is made of a special type of colorful cloth called tartan,which is very special in Scotland.
24When the English are in a dangerous situation they usuallyC.
A.laugh at other people        
B.behave very bravely
C.hide their emotions          
D.run away immediately
25.In the second paragraph the author mentions a taxi driver in New York toD.
A.explain that Americans are reserve
B.show the bad manners of Americans
C.show that English people are not very polite
D.show the reserve of the English
26.What do we know about the kilt in the last paragraphC
A.It's long and just like a skirt.
B.It's worn by both men and women.
C.It's made of a special type of cloth in Scotland.
D.It's a traditional costume all over Great Britain.
27.What can we learn about the English from the passageB
A.They are not very confident.
B.A house with a fence all around makes them feel safe.
C.They usually don't respect others'privacy.
D.They prefer a house with a garden to a flat.

7.Have you ever heard the saying"All roads lead to Rome"?At one time,this was pretty much true.During the Roman Empire,lots of roads were built in order to move armies,send messages by courier (信使),and make trade easier.
The network of Roman roads was begun in 312BC.It was demanded that the roads be built strong so that they would not fall down.Roman soldiers,supervised (監(jiān)督) by engineers,laid down the roads in a special pattern of layers.There were all together 4layers,which was made of different materials,such as sand,rocks,stones and so on.
Also,Roman roads were cambered(拱形).This means that they were built higher in the middle than on the edges,allowing rainwater to run off,which prevented flooding.We use the same technique in building roads today.The Romans also laid out roads over hills when necessary,setting them down in a zigzag (之字形的)pattern to make the road rise gradually.
All Roman roads had milestones (里程碑),placed every thousand paces (a Roman mile).The milestones told when the road was built,who was emperor at the time,the road's destination,how far the traveler was from the destination,and how many miles had been traveled since the beginning of the road.This information was a great help to travelers.
Because of their excellence in construction,it really is no surprise that many parts of Roman road still exist today.These roadways are one of the most impressive achievements of the Roman Empire.
21.The following description about Roman roads is true EXCEPTB.
A.Roman roads were built by the Roman soldiers directed by the engineers
B.Roman roads could prevent flooding using the technique we don't use today
C.Roman roads had milestones that were placed every Roman mile
D.Roman roads still exist today as an impressive achievement of Roman Empire
22.What information can you find on the milestones?C
A.The builders of the road.
B.The materials used in building roads.
C.The distance from one city.
D.The time spent in building roads.
23.The passage mainlyD.
A.explains the saying"All roads lead to Rome"
B.praises ancient Romans for their great achievements
C.shows how great the Roman Empire was
D.introduces the construction of the Roman roads.

14.Christmas in the United States is traditionally a time of gift-giving and family gatherings.But small towns across the country have their own traditions.
Middleburg,a small town in the state of Virginia,is known for its horses.For more than 50years,Middleburg has organized a yearly Christmas parade(游行).Men and women ride horses through the woods and fields.They follow hunting dogs as they search for a wild fox.But first,these hunters ride in the yearly parade,wearing their bright red hunting clothes and hats.
John Hale,a citizen of Middleburg says many city people visit his town."We have a lot of people from an urban area that come to visit,but it incorporates a lot of the o1d traditions."The nighttime hay ride is one such tradition.Small groups gather under the moonlight on an open wagon filled with hay.The passengers sing as farm horses pull the wagon slowly across the fields.
There are some newer traditions,too.Trey Matheu works at the nearby Salamander Resort.He says a visit to Middleburg is a chance to slow down for a day.He says Middleburg can be a calming,peaceful place without tension.
"Middleburg is an opportunity to take a step back,to take a deep breath,and understand that  even though life is moving on at a very fast pace,there's really an opportunity where you're allowed to step off for a little bit."
Parade organizers say more than 13,000people attend even in below-freezing weather.But if you ask,you will hear many different reasons why people come to watch the parade:
"I come here because I'm from a small town.  I like how everybody comes together.""I live right down that street;right there.And that's my dog."
Middleburg looks its best at Christmastime.That may be why so many people return each year.

4.If you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station,you don't need to feel surprised.They are a flash mob (快閃族),which is a group of people who come together suddenly in a public place,do something unusual for a brief period of time,and then quickly break up.They are usually organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communication network.At a predetermined time,they gather and perform some  distractions(消遣) such as waving their hands and exchanging books,Then,they quickly break up before the police can arrive.Using mobile phones,the flash mob can change its location if the first one has been replaced for any reason.
        Bill Lasik,senior editor of Harper's Magazine,organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May 2003 and the first successful flash mob came together on June 3,2003-after the first attempt was foiled at Macy's department store.Lasik claimed that the activity was designed to make fun of hipsters (起時(shí)髦的人),and call attention to the cultural atmosphere.       
      Flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock people.Such an activity might seem amusing and untrue,but it also might frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place.Undoubtedly,flash mobs can serve as good political tools in any direction.They also have great economic potential,such as using flash mobs to advertise a product.
      The flash mob is now becoming more and more popular.People use it to do many things.For example,in 2009,Michael Jackson's fans took part in a flash mob to remember him.Hundreds of his fans gathered singing and dancing Michael's famous song"Beat It"together.Flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to come together to create a memory.

11.I went to Arizona earlier this month to see what the college of the future might look like.What I found is an exciting new era of higher education that will help more students get a great,personalized education at an affordable price.
This future may not always include the lecture halls,dormitories,and other features of the traditional college experience.Instead,the colleges I visited are experimenting with ways for students to get their degrees online,allowing them to take courses any place and at any time.
These"colleges without walls,"as they are sometimes called,are at the forefront of the effort to broaden access to higher education,especially for low-income students with full-time jobs and families.During my visit,I heard encouraging stories of students who were taking advantage of these flexible learning models to pursue degrees that could put them on paths to new careers.
One of those students was Shawn Lee.He had a compelling story:After dropping out of college decades ago,he found himself in a series of low-paying,often back-breaking jobs.He recently decided to get his degree when he had his first child and wanted to start building a better life.
Tucked away in an industrial park in Tempe,Rio Salado didn't look much like a traditional institute of higher education.There were no students running to class.Just a couple of glass-faced office buildings.The college had just 22full-time faculty serving 60,000students,with more than half of them attending classes online.
Several students I met during my visit said they liked learning online."I've taken college classes in a big auditorium with herds of people.There was no personal connection,"one student said."Now I can reach my teacher with the click of a mouse."
After several days'visit,I left Arizona feeling quite optimistic about what the future holds for higher education.
21.What does"colleges without walls"in the third paragraph refer to?B
A.Colleges that have no walls around.
B.Colleges that students attend online.
C.Colleges that can be entered freely.
D.Colleges that give students more freedom.
22.What made Shawn Lee return to attend college again?D
A.That he has nothing to do.
B.That he couldn't find a job.
C.That the cost of the college is low.
D.That he wanted to find a better job.
23.How did the writer feel after the visit?A
A.Hopeful.B.Dissatisfied.C.Disappointed.D.Upset.
24.What is the writer's purpose by writing this passage?D
A.To explain what"colleges without walls"are.
B.To advertise the colleges.
C.To encourage people to attend higher education.
D.To introduce a new model of education.
