Ottawa is the capital of Canada. It is the second largest city in Ontario and the fourth largest city in the country.

The Centre Block is the main building on Parliament Hill (國會山). It is also the location of several ceremonial spaces, such as the Hall of Honor and the Memorial Chamber. The present Centre Block is the second iteration of the building，after the first was destroyed by fire in 1916，and it is one of the most recognizable buildings in Canada.

Downtown Ottawa is the commercial and economic centre of the city. Most of the buildings are office towers. While most of Ottawa’s high tech industry is based elsewhere, it has a significant presence in the downtown core. The downtown also contains a number of apartments, hotels, and the older single family homes and townhouses along its edges.

The National Gallery of Canada is one of Canada，s premier art galleries. The Gallery has a large and varied collection of paintings, drawings, sculpture and photographs. Although its focus is on Canadian art, it also holds works by some noted American and European artists.

The Rideau Canal is the oldest continuously operated canal system in North America. At the very beginning，the purpose of the Rideau Canal was military, as it was intended to provide a secure supply and communication route between Montreal and the British naval base in Kingston. It remains in use today primarily for pleasure boating, with most of its original structures remained. The locks on the system open for navigation in mid-May and close in mid-October.
小題1:What does "iteration" probably mean in the 2nd paragraph? _____.
A．Repair B．Design C．Copy D．Landmark
小題2:In the core of Downtown Ottawa, we could see _____.
A．a(chǎn) large number of tall towers

C．The original structures remain never changed
D．People can only go boating from May to October

小題1:C
小題2:B
小題3:C
小題4:B

試題分析：文章描寫了加拿大渥太華著名的幾處地方，并分別對這幾處地方進行詳細的說明。
小題1:細節(jié)推斷題。從第二段The present Centre Block is the second iteration of the building，after the first was destroyed by fire in 1916，and it is one of the most recognizable buildings in Canada.可知，現(xiàn)如今的中央街區(qū)是重新翻修的，以前的那一座在1916的大火中被毀壞了。所以iteration的意思相當(dāng)于copy，復(fù)制品。故選C.
小題2:細節(jié)題。Most of the buildings are office towers. While most of Ottawa’s high tech industry is based elsewhere, it has a significant presence in the downtown core.可知在渥太華的市中心都是辦公大樓，而且主要是高科技行業(yè)的辦公大樓，故選B，而不能選C、D，因為文章中講到市中心最主要的是辦公大樓。
小題3:細節(jié)題。The Gallery has a large and varied collection of paintings, drawings, sculpture and photographs. Although its focus is on Canadian art, it also holds works by some noted American and European artists.可知，主要收藏的是各種各樣的畫以及雕像、照片。它主要是收藏加拿大人的藝術(shù)作品，同時也收藏美國人和歐洲人的作品，故選C。
小題4:判斷題。A答案中它是最古老的的現(xiàn)在仍在使用的水溝系統(tǒng)，并不是最老的水溝系統(tǒng)，排除。C,文中講到絕大部分沒有改變原貌，并非全部沒有改變，排除。D，文章講的是五月中旬到十月中旬，故排除D.從At the very beginning，the purpose of the Rideau Canal was military可知，最初的目的是軍事目的。故選B.
點評：本文不難，對于這種題，最大的好處是有小標(biāo)題，所以學(xué)生需要注意答題的方法�？梢韵葘ξ恼碌拿總�小標(biāo)題進行快速的瀏覽，然后按著每個題目所對應(yīng)的小標(biāo)題在文章中找答案，細節(jié)題注意比較相互之間的差異，如此就可以穩(wěn)操勝券了。

Four strange scholarships that actually exist
The scholarship for the tall
If you find yourself having to lower your head to enter doorways then you might get this unusual scholarship. If you are a boy 6'2" or taller, or a girl 5'10" or taller, then you can be in the running for the Tall Clubs International Scholarship. All you have to do is write a simple message titled “What being tall means to me,” and you could get $1,000.
The scholarship for the fat
This unusual scholarship is made available to New England high school seniors who are single, overweight, and have maintain(保持) at least a 2.5 GPA. Every year two people are awarded the $500 prize. It’s kind of like saying being fat and unpopular is not that bad after all.
The scholarship for the short
If you aren’t tall enough for the tall scholarship, maybe you are short enough for the short one. The Billy Party Foundation offers this unusual scholarship to students who are short. One needs to be shorter then 4'10" and have a medical certificate as proof of dwarfism.
The scholarship for golf caddies(球童)
Did you know that you could get a free ride to college for being a golf caddie? Okay, it’s a little harder than that, but each year the Evans Scholars Foundation covers tuition(學(xué)費) and housing for hundreds of student caddies from all over the country. Most Evans scholars go to one of the fourteen universities where the Evans Scholar Foundation owns and operates a scholarship house.

The following are the results of the tests done by “Family and Home Magazine” on some Pocket Tape-Recorders on the market now.

Pearlcorder S702 $64
This simple model at the bottom of the Olympus range scored the most points for its excellent quality of recording. Background noise hardly affects the sound and recording from a pocket is perfectly possible, but it doesn’t turn off automatically.
Tape length: 30minutes per side. Weight: 240g.
Sony M9   $49.95
Small and very good looking, Sony’s latest offering scored most for its appearance. Sounds clear, but there is slight machine noise. The big control buttons are a great improvement on some of the complicated little controls on other tape-recorders. It doesn’t switch off automatically, but a red light shows if the machine is still running.
Tape length: 60minutes per side. Weight: 195g.
Sony M400  $115
Lots of little control buttons that make a noise are difficult to use. Recording is good but machine noise loses points. Tape counter and automatic switch-off when tape has finished recording or rewinding are useful.
Tape length: 60 minutes per side. Weight: 230g.
Imperial OEM MC7 $ 29.95
Cheap and simple compared with the rest, but recording is good as long as there is no background noise. Use only its own-make of cassette. No light to show it is on; no fast-forward button and the record button makes a loud noise.
Tape length: 30 minutes per side. Weight: 285g.
Philips 585 $80
Handsome and simple to use, but recording is very poor at more than the recommended distance of 5 cm-designed for dictation. No recording light.
Tape length: 15 minutes per side. Weight: 220g.
小題1:The machine that produces the best recording with the least unwanted noise is _____.
A．Pearlcorder S 702B．Sony M9C．Sony M400D．Imperial OEM MC7
小題2:If you want a machine which turns off automatically and weighs very little you should choose _____.
A．Pearlcorder S 702B．Sony M9C．Sony M400D．Philips 585
小題3:Which of the following allows you to record longest but costs you least?
