It’s interesting that the arrival of snow has a different effect on people in different countries. For some countries it is an important happening to celebrate each year, while for others it is a catastrophe (災(zāi)難) or even a wonder.
There are countries between these two extremes (極端) that normally expect snow some time over the winter months, but never receive snow regularly or in the same quantities(數(shù)量) every year. Britain is one such country, for which the arrival of snow quite simply creates problems. Within hours of the first snowfall, however light, roads are blocked, trains and buses stop in the middle of traffic. Normal communications are affected as well, telephone calls become difficult and the post immediately takes more time than usual. Almost within hours, there are also shortages(不足) -- bread, vegetables and other things -- not because all these things can no longer be produced or sent to shops, but mainly because people are frightened, and go out to store up these commodities (日用品), “just for fear that something bad should happen.”
Why then does snow have this effect? After all, the Swiss, Austrians and Canadians don’t have such problems. It is simply because there is not enough planning and preparation. We need money to buy equipment to deal with snow and ice. To keep the roads clear, for example, requires snow ploughs and machines to spread salt. The reason why a country like Britain does not buy some ploughs is that they are only used for a few days in any one year, and the money could be more useful in other things such as hospitals, education or helping the old.
【小題1】According to the writer, Britain is a country____.

A．which has regular snowB．which is not well prepared for snow
C．for which snow is not a problemD．for which snow is a wonder
【小題2】The arrival of snow in Britain affects all of the following except____
A．trafficB．communicationC．food suppliesD．service quality
【小題3】After a few hours’ snowing there are often shortages of food because______
A．shops have closed downB．people buy as much as they can
C．farmers can’t produce any moreD．people eat more vegetables in winter
【小題4】The first reason that the British don’t buy snow ploughs is that______
A．spreading salt is good enoughB．old people need more money
C．snow ploughs are not used oftenD．the hospital is more important

Canada, the second largest country in the world, lies in the north of America. The population of Canada is about 29 million and the capital is Ottawa. The country covers about 9,980,000 square kilometers and six of the world’s 24 time areas (時(shí)區(qū)) as well.

There are two official languages spoken in Canada: French and English. Many people can speak both English and French. More than 60% of Canadians speak English as their language. About 25% of the Canadians speak French. In one province of Canada where French is the common language, the programmes on TV and radios as well as the teaching in schools are all in French. Today, Chinese has become the first inofficial(非官方的) language in Canada.

Canada’s climate is not as cold all year around as some may believe. In winter, temperatures fall below freezing point throughout most of Canada. In summer, the southern provinces often experience high levels of temperatures that can reach over 30℃ regularly. The weather in Canada is just like the weather in China. It is rather cold in the north while it is fairly warm in the south. Winters in the north last long with snow for half a year. As the cold northern climate, only one-fifth of the land is suitable for farming.

As it is known to all, Canada has one-third of the world’s supply of fresh water. It has many great lakes. There are five great lakes in the south. And there are many others, especially in the north. It is also rich in natural resources, such as coal, oil, natural gas of which Canadians make use to produce energy.

People of northern Canada are called Inuit (因紐特人), who came from Asia and settled in Canada about 4,000 years ago. They used to travel around from place to place with teams of dogs which pulled their baggage. Now, they seldom move. There are about 2,500 Inuit in all. The government has started a new school project in which Inuit teach their own young children. So it is hoped that the way of Inuit life will be kept alive for more centuries.

1.How many people are there living in Canada?

A．About 24 million.                       B．About 29 million.

C．About 25 million.                        D．About 9,980,000.

2.Today, most Canadians speak _________ as their first language.

A．French           B．Chinese           C．English            D．Japanese

3.Only ________ of the land is fit for farming because of the cold northern climate.

A．15%             B．20%              C．30%              D．50%

4.Which statement about Inuit is NOT right?

A．They settled in Canada about 4,000 years ago.

B．Dogs could help them pull their baggage when they had to travel years ago.

C．They can teach their own young children according to the new school project.

D．They way of Inuit life may disappear in the future.
