Question

【題目】Canada Day


Since 1982, July 1st has been officially known as Canada Day. Canadians of all ages take part in this festival across the country.
　　Canada Day is the year's biggest national party. In many towns and cities, the government organizes a lot of events, often outdoors. These include parades（游行）, concerts, festivals, firework displays and ceremonies for new Canadian citizens（公民）. The celebrations often have a patriotic mood. Canada's national flag, a symbol for Canada Day, can be seen everywhere and a lot of people paint their faces red and white, which are Canada's national colors. The celebrations in Ottawa, Canada's capital city, are especially grand and exciting.
　　In the province of Quebec, many home rentals（租賃）start on July 1st and last for exactly one year, and many people in Quebec spend Canada Day moving from one house to another. So in Quebec, Canada Day is also known as Moving Day.
　　Many organizations, businesses and stores are closed this day. Only some bookstores, ho spitals and gas stations may be open. Post offices are closed, too. As Canada Day falls in the Canadian summer holiday period, all schools are closed as well. In some areas, special services are provided for large events. The concerts, parades and festivals may cause some traffic jams.

1.C理解判斷題.根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，下面哪一個是對的? A. Canada Day falls on the first day of June. 加拿大國慶是6月1日B. Canada Day was celebrated before 1982. 加拿大國慶在1982年以前慶祝的C. Canada Day is celebrated throughout Canada. 全加拿大人都慶祝加拿大國慶D. Canadians except new citizens celebrate Canada Day. 除開新的公民外的所有加拿大人慶祝加拿大國慶。根據(jù)第一自然段，加拿大國慶是從1982年開始的，每年，7月1日全國人民歡慶的日子。故選C
2.B 詞義猜測題。題意：打下劃線的 “patriotic” 的漢語意思是什么？句意：這個慶祝通常帶有愛國的情緒。A. 溫馨的；B. 愛國的；C. 肅穆的；D. 緊張的。加拿大國慶是紀(jì)念加拿大自治領(lǐng)籍《英屬北美條約》將英國在北美的三塊領(lǐng)地合并為一個聯(lián)邦，所以全國人民帶著愛國來慶祝該節(jié)日。故選B。
3.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。題意：魁北克城加拿大國慶日作為一個解雇日而眾所周知是因為這一天的什么？A. people think it lucky to move to new houses人們搬到新家很幸運(yùn)；B. people look for houses from one place to another人們從一個地方到另一個地方找住處；C. people like moving from house to house to visit friends人們喜歡從一個地方搬到另一個地方去拜訪朋友；D. people move home when new home rentals go into effect新家的租賃生效，所以人們搬家。加拿大國慶是紀(jì)念加拿大自治領(lǐng)籍《英屬北美條約》將英國在北美的三塊領(lǐng)地合并為一個聯(lián)邦。故選D。
