To support myself, I began to deliver newspapers.I would be up every morning by 5 am and walk five kilometers to the newspaper office. By6 am, I would collect 50 copies of Manzil. After distributing （分发）the copies, I would rush home— another 3 kilometers—quickly eat and be off to high school.One winter morning in 1945, I got home after my deliveries to find a boy of my age at my doorstep.

In September 1966 Canada's population passed the 20 million mark. Most of this growth came from natural increase. The depression of the 1930”s and the war had held back marriages and the catching - up process began after 1945. The baby boom continued through the decade of the 1950's, producing a population increase of nearly fifteen percent in the five years from 1951 to 1956. Undoubtedly, the good economic conditions of the 1950's supported a growth in the population, but the expansion also derived （源自）from a trend toward earlier marriages and an increase in the average size of families. In 1957 the Canadian birth rate stood at 28 per thousand, one of the highest in the world.After the peak year of 1957, the birth rate in Canada began to decline. It continued falling until in 1966 it stood at the lowest level in 25 years. Partly this decline reflected the low level of births during the depression and the war, but it was also caused by changes in Canadian society. Young people were staying at school longer, more women were working, young married couples were buying automobiles or houses before starting families, rising living standards were cutting down the size of families. It appeared that Canada was once more falling in step with the trend toward smaller families that had occurred all through the Western world since the time of the Industrial Revolution.Although the growth in Canada's population had slowed down by 1966 （the increase in the first half of the 1960's was only nine percent）. Another large population wave was coming over the horizon. It would be composed of the children who were born during the period of the high birth rate before 1957.28. From paragraph 1 we know that in Canada during the 19501 _____ .A. Fewer people married.B. The birth rate was very high.C. Economic conditions were poor.D. The population decreased rapidly.29. Which is not the cause of declines in population growth after 1957?A. Couples buying houses.B. Better standards of living.C. People getting married earlier.D. People being better educated.30. What does the underlined “ it" in the last paragraph refer to?A. Nine percent.B. Population wave.C. The first half of the 1960,s.D. Population's slowing down.31. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. Educational changes in Canadian society.B. Canada during the Second World War.C. Population trends in postwar Canada.D. Standards of living in Canada.DIn science, a theory is a reasonable explanation of observed events that are related. A theory often involves an imaginary model that helps scientists picture the way an observed event could be produced. A good example of this is found in the kinetic molecular （分子运动）theory, in which gases are pictured as being made up of many small particles （微粒）that are in constant motion.A useful theory, in addition to explaining past observations, helps to predict events that have not as yet been observed. After a theory has been publicized, scientists design experiments to test the theory. If observations confirm the scientists' predictions, the theory is supported. If observations do not confirm the predictions, the scientists must search further. There the scientists must search further. There may be a fault in the experiment, or the theory may have to be revised or rejected.Science involves imagination and creative thinking as well as collecting information and performing experiments. Facts by themselves are not science. As the mathematician Jules Henri Poincare said: "Science is built with facts just as a house is built with bricks, but a collection of facts cannot be called science any more than a pile of bricks can be called a house."Most scientists start an investigation by finding out what other scientists have learned about a particular problem. After known facts have been gathered, the scientist comes to the part of the investigation that requires considerable imagination. Possible solutions to the problem are formulated （制定）.These possible solutions are called hypotheses （假设）.In a way, any hypothesis is a leap into the unknown. It extends the scientist's thinking beyond the known facts. The scientist plans experiments, performs calculations, and makesobservations to test hypotheses. For without hypotheses, further investigation lacks purpose and direction. When hypotheses are confirmed, they are incorporated （合并）into theories.32. According to paragraph 2, a useful theory is one that helps scientists toA. observe events.B. make predictions.C. publicize new findings.D. find errors in past experiments.33. Which of the following statements is true according to paragraphs 3 and 4?A. Science is more than a collection of facts.B. Hypotheses are made before an observed event.C. Hypotheses are facts that are not proven to be true.D. A scientist's most difficult task is collecting information.34. According to the last paragraph a major function of hypotheses is_ __ .A. confirming known facts.B. linking together different theories.C. providing direction for scientific research.D. communicating a scientist's thoughts to others.35. What may be the best title of this passage?A. HypothesesB. ObservationsC. Scientific TheoriesD. Creative Thinking第二节（共5小题,每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
