11.Vancouver(溫哥華)
Natural Resources
As a major centre for the global forestry industry,Vancouver is host to many international forestry conferences and events,and the natural home of the massive BC forestry business.Companies such as Canfor and West Fraser Timber Co.,the second and third largest lumber(木材)producers in the world,are headquartered in Vancouver.Vancouver is also a major centre for the mining industry.
International trade
International trade is a key part for Vancouver's economy.The city has Canada's largest port and is one of North America's major gateways for Pan-Pacific(泛太平洋)trade.The Port of Vancouver ranks first in North America in total foreign exports and second on the West Coast in total goods volume.
Banking and Financial
The headquarters for HSBC Canada (匯豐銀行)is located in the Financial District in downtown.Canada's third largest commercial entity (實(shí)體),Jim Pattison Group is also based in Vancouver.
International relation
Vancouver is a major centre for diplomacy (外交) and foreign relations.Most countries of the world have consulate(領(lǐng)事館)or general offices in the Central Business District.In fact,many major diplomatic conferences are hosted by the city-including the world famous G7summit with President Clinton,APEC,and the World Trade Organization.Greenpeace has its world headquarters in the city.Therefore,Vancouver was among the first North American cities to declare itself a Nuclear Weapons Free Zone.
Tourism
Tourism is a leading industry to Vancouver.The Whistler-Blackcomb Resort is among the most popular skiing resorts in North America,and will be the site of the downhill events of the 2010Winter Olympics.Vancouver's beaches,parks,waterfronts,and mountain backdrops and its multi-cultural character attract more and more tourists.
Film
Vancouver was the source of the sobriquet(綽號(hào))"Hollywood North",for hosting the production of about ten percent of Hollywood's movies.Many U.S.television and films series are shot exclusively in Vancouver.This has partly been because of the favourable Canadian dollar exchange rate.

分析 本文是一篇說(shuō)明文,主要從自然資源、國(guó)際貿(mào)易、銀行和金融、國(guó)際關(guān)系、旅游業(yè)等方面介紹了溫哥華的相關(guān)城市.溫哥華是森林業(yè)和礦業(yè)中心;國(guó)際貿(mào)易是溫哥華經(jīng)濟(jì)的關(guān)鍵部分;匯豐銀行的總部在溫哥華的金融商業(yè)區(qū),加拿大第三大貿(mào)易實(shí)體(實(shí)體),帕蒂森集團(tuán)is also based in溫哥華;溫哥華是一個(gè)主要的外交中心(外交)和對(duì)外關(guān)系;在溫哥華旅游業(yè)是領(lǐng)先的工業(yè).溫哥華有"好萊塢北"的美稱(chēng),許多美國(guó)電視和電影鏡頭系列是專(zhuān)門(mén)在溫哥華.

解答 70.D     細(xì)節(jié)理解題.從"Natural Resources    As a major centre for the global forestry industry"中可知,溫哥華是森林業(yè)和礦業(yè)中心,不是工農(nóng)業(yè)中心.其他三項(xiàng)文中均有對(duì)應(yīng)表述.故選D.
71.B     細(xì)節(jié)理解題.從Banking and Financial中的"Jim Pattison Group is also based in Vancouver.",International relation中的"Greenpeace has its world headquarters in the city."以及從Tourism中的"The Whistler-Blackcomb Resort is …and will be the site of the downhill events of the 2010 Winter Olympics."可知 A,C,D三項(xiàng)均與Vancouver有關(guān),文中沒(méi)有提到WHO,只提到了WTO(International relation中).故選B.
72.C      推理判斷題.題干說(shuō):一個(gè)上海財(cái)經(jīng)大學(xué)的學(xué)生想去溫哥華,最大可能的理由是什么?當(dāng)然他對(duì)財(cái)經(jīng)方面感興趣.由"Banking and Financial"中可知,加拿大匯豐銀行設(shè)在溫哥華的金融商業(yè)區(qū),故選C.
73.D      推理判斷題.由"International relation"這一部分中"Vancouver was among the first North American cities to declare itself a Nuclear Weapons Free Zone."可以推出,加拿大沒(méi)有核武器,是一個(gè)愛(ài)好和平的國(guó)家.故D為最佳答案.A,B文中有明確表述,不合題意;而C項(xiàng)本身表述錯(cuò)誤,APEC 和 WTO的總部不在溫哥華.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 解答細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí),一個(gè)常用的方法就是運(yùn)用定位法,即根據(jù)題干和選項(xiàng)中的關(guān)鍵詞從原文中找到相關(guān)的句子,與選項(xiàng)進(jìn)行比較從而確定答案;推理判斷題既要求學(xué)生透過(guò)文章表面文字信息推測(cè)文章隱含意思,又要求學(xué)生對(duì)作者的態(tài)度、意圖及文章細(xì)節(jié)的發(fā)展作正確的推理判斷,力求從作者的角度去考慮,不要固守自己的看法或觀點(diǎn).

People often say that gold or silver are the most valuable things in the world.But I don't think.In my opinion,to read books are more valuable than anything else.The old saying"To open a book is always helpful"clear tells us that how good it is to read a book.Books are our friends.They introduce us to different kind of knowledge and lead us down the road to succeed.Books are our teachers.They teach our science,literature and so on.Books tell us what is good and what is evil.But only books can tell the good from the bad.Therefore,to read more books is the best policy for we young students.

16.After more than 3,000years,a statue of the Egyptian king Amenhotep III has been erected in the city of Luxor after being knocked down by an earthquake.
One of the great figures in the story of ancient Egypt,Amenhotep III was a boy king.He became king of Egypt at the age of only 12years.He ruled at a time when Egyptian civilization was at its very height.
Amenhotep III was given statues in his honor and among them this 13-meter-high statue stood on the bank of the Nile until it was knocked down by an earthquake 3,000years ago.So for 30centuries,it lay in pieces in the field,more than 80pieces.Now the statue has been restored and shown to the public.There is another very similar huge statue of Amenhotep III.It was also damaged by that earthquake.And it,too,has been repaired and put back in its place.These two statues stand at the gates of the famous funerary temple in Luxor,which has another two huge seated figures of the kings.
And the background for this is just that tourism is very important to the Egyptian economy after what's been happening recently.Years of disturbance (騷亂)has hit the Egyptian economy in many ways and any improvement of that economy will need to be helped by the tourist industry.The legacy(遺產(chǎn))of ancient Egypt is so much,so important to that tourist industry.And the images coming from Luxor today show just how delighted and proud the archeologists and the local people are for what they've seen today.

8.What can we learn about Amenhotep III from the passage?C
A.He was deeply loved by Egyptians.
B.He created the brilliant civilization of Egypt.
C.He began to rule Egypt at a young age.
D.He had a lot of statues built for himself.
9.The underlined word in Paragraph 3meansB.
A.put down
B.repaired
C.given back
D.recreated
10.According to Paragraph 3,the two statues of Amenhotep IIID.
A.were the same size and shape
B.were put back inside the funerary temple
C.were knocked down by different earthquakes
D.were both standing before a famous temple in Luxor
11.How may repairing the statues benefit Egypt?A
A.It can promote the economic development of Egypt.
B.It drives the development of archeology in Egypt.
C.It can help to end the serious disturbance in Egypt.
D.It encourages people to build great statues in Egypt.

11.A kitchen that gives step-by-step cooking instructions in French could inspire a revolution in language learning in the UK.By using a new technology,it speaks to you as you prepare a French dish.The kitchen breaks new ground by taking language learning out of the classroom and linking it with an enjoyable and rewarding real-life activity.
The new kitchen is designed to be used in schools,universities and even people's homes.It could also be an existing kitchen.The first version of the technology was tested in the kitchens of project partner Newcastle University.The kitchen could be available for schools and universities,and for the UK market by the June of 2014.
The Newcastle University team is now working on ways to put it on the market.And the European Union has given money to begin programs in six other languages,including English Italian and Spanish.Finally,versions could be developed for any language cuisine(烹飪法)in the world.
Professor Paul says,"By international standards,the UK students are now poor when it comes to learning languages-a problem that certainly has an economic influence.We believe that developing skills in a country's language and its cuisine will help change the trend."
On a computer fixed into the kitchen,the user first selects the French recipe(菜譜)they want to follow.Digital sensors built into dishes,containers and other equipment then communicate with the computer to make sure the right instructions are given at the right time,the user can ask the computer to repeat an instruction,or translate it into English,simply by pressing the touch screen.After cooking,the user can test what they have learned by carrying out a short test on the computer.
All grammar and vocabulary has been carefully selected to make sure that using the kitchen adds to basic proficiency(熟練)in understanding French.
Now three easy-carrying versions of the kitchen are being prepared.They're to be fixed in Newcastle University and at Institute Francais,a London-based charity devoted to teaching the French language.
57.The new kitchen is designed mainly toC.
A.increase people's interest in cooking
B.teach people how to cook French dishes
C.offer people a new way to learn languages
D.help cooks learn spoken French in the kitchen
58.Which of the following is TRUE about the kitchen?C
A.It has versions in six languages now.
B.It is already available for sale in the UK.
C.It has received strong support from the EU.
D.It can be used only in schools and university.
59.When a person is using the kitchen,B.
A.it will give him a test on his cooking skills
B.it can translate French into another language
C.the cooking process will stop if he goes wrong
D.he must be careful so as not to make mistakes
60.What would be the best title for the text?D
A.UK students have problems in language learning.
B.New technology helps students learning cooking.
C.An enjoyable and rewarding real-life activity.
D.A Talking Kitchen That Teaches You French.
