7. Between 1886 and 1914, Canada received over two million immigrants. The majority of them were from Eastern Europe. The government welcomed these people by offering them free farmland in the West.

However, Canada immigration policy was not equal for Asian immigrants. The Canadian government passed two laws to prevent Chinese

immigration. In 1885, the Canadian government passed the first law to prevent Chinese immigration. The law forced every Chinese person entering Canada to pay a $50 entry fee. The government introduced this head tax to satisfy Caucasian(高加索人) laborers who felt that Chinese immigrants were competing for their jobs. The head tax was a burden for Chinese immigrants, but it did not prevent them from

coming to Canada. For many of these poor Chinese laborers, they could earn more money there than in China. They were willing to borrow the money to pay for the overseas trip and the head tax. The Canadian government raised the head tax to $100 in 1900, then to $500 in 1903. The Canadian government passed its most restrictive immigration law in 1923. That year, the Chinese Immigration Act prevented all Chinese except officers, merchants, and students from entering Canada. The Act was the result of pressure from anti-Asian groups. These groups felt that the head tax was insufficient because Chinese laborers were still coming to Canada. The law effectively stopped Chinese

immigration from 1923 to 1947. During the 24-year period, only 44 Chinese entered Canada officially. A. stays in his or her own country

二、阅读理解单项选择题（本大题共30分，共 6 小题，每小题 5 分）

1. Gift giving customs vary greatly from country to country. What is considered appropriate in France may be entirely inappropriate in Japan.

To the Japanese, gift giving is a way of communicating respect, friendship, and appreciation. When meeting with a group of Japanese professionals, be sure to give higher quality gifts to those with more senior rank within the company. Always present the gift with two hands. This is also true with presenting business cards.

Gift giving in Australia, Canada, United States, European countries is rarely expected. While seen as a nice gesture, it is more

important to avoid gifts that will be regarded as bribes( 行贿 ). Small gifts such as pens, business diaries, and mementos with company logos are usually sufficient. It is important to avoid highly personal gifts such as clothing. When visiting the home of a

colleague from one of these countries, it is normally appropriate to present a gift to the hostess.

2. Nuclear power is a method used to generate electricity in Canada. Canada has played an

important role in the development of nuclear power technology. In the 1950s, Canadian

scientists developed the CADU reactor. The reactor is now used in three Canadian provinces and number of other countries. Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) established its first nuclear power station division in Toronto in 1958. their job was to create a plan for a big nuclear power station. In 1959, a nine-person team of engineers and scientists designed the first nuclear power station in Canada. Construction of the station began in 1960 at

DouglasPoint on OntarioChalkRiver. By 1967, the station was producing power into the Ontario power system. In 1994, 60 percent of Ontario power came from the province ’s 20 nuclear

reators. Quebec and New Brunswick are the only other provinces that use nuclear power. Other countries in the world also use the CANDU, and more are being built. AECL sold one CANDU to Argentina in 1973 and one to South Korea in 1976, where is now installing three more CANDUs, which should be running by 1999. Two more CANDU reactors are also being installed in Romania. By creating the CANDU reactor, Canadian scientists have made a significant contribution to the world nuclear technology. AECL says it is the safety features and efficient design of the CANDU that have attracted other countries to use the Canadian-made reactor.

3. Fifty volunteers were alphabetically divided into two equal groups. Group A is to participate in a 7-week exercise program and Group B is to avoid planned exercise of any sort during those 7 weeks. On the day before the exercise program began, all 50 men participated in a step-test. This consisted of stepping up and down on a 16-inch bench, at 30 steps a minute for 5 minutes. One minute after completion of the step-test, the pulse rate of each subject ( 被测试者 ) was taken and recorded. This served as the pretest for the experiment. For the next 7 weeks, subjects in Group A rode an Exercycle ( 机器脚踏车 ) for 15 minutes each day, while Group B remained doing no planned exercises.

At the end of the 7 weeks, the step-test was again given to both groups of subjects, and their pulses taken. The post-exercise pulse rates of subjects in the experimental were found to have decreased an average of 30 heart beats per minutes, with the lowest decrease 28 and the highest decrease 46.

4. One Sunday, Mark decided to go sailing in his boat with his friend Dan, but Dan happened to be away. Dan''s brother John offered to go instead though he did not know anything about sailing. Mark agreed and they set out to sea.

As he was getting onto the buoy, however, he dropped the wet rope. The boat moved away in the fog carrying John, who did not know how to use the radio. He drifted ( 漂移 ) about and was not seen until twelve hours later.

Mark spent the night on the buoy. In the early morning he fell asleep. He was having a bad dream when a shout woke him up. A ship, the Good Hope, came up and he climbed onto it and thanked the captain. The captain told him that John had been

5. Plants need green leaves to make food. A plant needs sunlight and carbon dioxide （二氧化碳 ) for making food and it also needs water and salts from the soil to make food too. There are certain cells ( 细胞 ) in the leaves which change carbon dioxide and water into sugar. To do this the cells need energy, which they get from the sunlight.

Green leaves make food for the whole plant. A red leaf can make food too because under the red coloring of the leaf there are food-making cells. There are no leaves which are completely yellow, for they can''t make food.

The plant makes sugar for its food. In sunlight green leaves make a lot of sugar. The veins ( 叶脉 ) can''t carry all this sugar away, so the leaves change the sugar into starch ( 淀粉 ), which is kept and so stored in the leaves. At night, the starch changes back to sugar. It is then carried away from the leaves. Some of the sugar is used as food by the plant while the rest is stored as starch. In some plants, food is stored in the roots; in others it is stored in the stem and in leaves, fruits and seeds.(1). Which of the following best gives the main idea of this passage? ( ) A. How green plants make food B.

veins C. stems D.

green leaves

(5). Food is stored in roots or stems in the form of( ) A. sugar B. starch C.

water and salts D.

carbon dioxide

6. Hotlines have become common in Chin Some radio broadcasting

stations use hotlines to encourage the listeners to take part in the talk shows.

That''s a good idea Yet, the fact is, some people do nothing but break the whole programme. Some people know little about the topic under discussion. Sometimes they do not even know what the host ( 主持人 ) is talking about. So the host has to tell the caller what the show is about. Usually the caller will ask a few questions which express hope and show his ignorance ( 无知 }. Then the host has to answer and explain —— how silly this is! It wastes a lot of time. It seems that some people phone the hotlines in fun. They just want to let the listeners hear them. They don''t care what the topic is, whether they themselves are interested in or how silly they appear to be.

I think that it''s necessary for radio stations to improve the hotline programmes. In my opinion, if a caller doesn''t know what is going on, the operator should not let the callers take part in it(1). The sentence \programmes\

A. radio stations use hotlines B.

in a wrong way it is a fact C.

it is a good idea D.

some people have unclear thoughts

(2). According to the passage, which of the following is not true? ( ) A. Some people do not know what the host is talking about. B.

Some people know little about the topic under discussion. C.

Some people do not know what the show is about. D.

The writer tells us that the host is silly.

(3). The host has to answer and explain ( ) A. for the host works hard B.

because of the caller's ignorance C.

for the host likes talking to the caller D.

because a lot of questions are raised by the caller (4). The passage doesn't tell us ( )

A. that some listeners phone the hotline in fun B.

that some people just want to be heard by others C.

that some people who don't care what the topic is realize that they appear to be silly D.

what the hotlines programmes are

(5). The word \ A. host B.
