Did you ever feel confused about why hamburgers are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham?About a hundred years ago, some men went to American from Europe, coming from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They didn't know how to use English properly. Seen them eating round pieces of beef and asked what it was, the Germans didn't understand the questions exactly, they answered: “ wceome from Hamburg. “ Oneof the Americans was an owner of a restaurant and got an idea.

So the youth should and must learn how to live and work well with others, including those people you don't like to cooperate or communicate with.

2014年成人英语三级(学士学位英语)真题及答案解析
北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2014.05.10Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions orunfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You shoulddecide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter m the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:The first year of school in America, known as kindergarten, usually begins between the ages offive and six. Among rich countries such a late start is very strange. President Obama believes it isan economic and social problem; his education secretary goes as far as to say that it is "morallywrong". This statement has some support, as it is clear from research into vocabulary thatyoungsters from poor families enter kindergarten well behind those from rich families—adisadvantage that usually lasts a lifetime. Children from households on welfare knew 525 words bythe age of three, while the children of professionals had mastered 1,116.(76) Pre.school can help close this gap. So in a speech last month, Mr, Obama called for apartnership between the federal government and the states to expand it to every American child. Itlater became known that "every" meant those who come from families with incomes of up to 200% abovethe poverty line—equal to an income of $47,000 for a family of four.(77) Some critics say that sending children to school at the age of four does not work. Theevidence suggests otherwise. For example, on March 20th new results were announced from a study of9.to.l 1.year.olds in New Jersey. This report found that disadvantaged children who had attendedpre.school had better literacy (读写能力), language, maths and science skills. And two years ofpre.kindergarten were better than one.Some studies also follow the effects of early learning over lifetimes, such as its effect oncrime rates and other factors that may eventually burden society. Critics have singled out agovernment scheme called Head Start, created in 1965, which provides poor households with a range ofservices including school.based early education.1.Kindergarten in rich countries other than America usually begins at the age of _______A. eightB. sevenC. sixD. four2.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Poor pre.school kids have a larger vocabulary than rich kids.B. President Obama believes that early education can solve all economic and social problems.C.

President Obama's education secretary thinks it is morally wrong to let kids startkindergarten early.3.Which of the following about the New Jersey study is TRUE?A. There is no evidence to support the New Jersey study.B. New Jersey has created a new Head Start to help disadvantaged kids.C. Sending children to school at the age of four is not going to help.D. Two years of pre.kindergarten were better than one.4.The phrase "single out" in the last paragraph means _______.A. chooseB. think aboutC. countD. depend on5.Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A.

(79) The biggest road block could be the mission's huge cost ($6 billion). However, Lansdorpis confident that Mars One will be able to fund the project by selling the broadcast rights for themission and subsequent experiences living on the planet.Those broadcast rights will also play a part in helping to select the people who will be sent toMars. Lansdorp said the company will hold a selection process similar to a reality show. Lansdorp isexpecting at least 1 million applications from people around the world. In additon to the cost,several other potential problems could inhibit (阻止) the mission to Mars.“It’s even more challenging to send people there with life support, with food, with air, withall the other things like books, entertainment, means of communication and of providing for theirown resources for a long stay on Mars," said Adam Baker. senior lecturer in space engineering atKingston University in London.

Now, 142 yearslater, there are hundreds of national parks across the country, and technology is changing the waypeople experience them. Should park visitors be able to use cell phones, or should their use berestricted?"Connectivity presents a real challenge to all of us." Al Nash says. He is a public affairsofficer at Yellowstone National Park. He says cell phone service at Yellowstone is available inparts of the park with stores and campgrounds. This makes it easy for visitors to share photos oftheir trip on social networking sites and to stay in touch with friends and family members.

Can you imagine looking out a peaceful lake or field of grass only to be disturbed by a person shouting into their phone, "Can you hear me now?"Nash says Yellowstone tries to strike a balance.

2014年12月全国大学成人英语三级ab级考试题答案±(461533046) PART I DICTATIONChoosing A CareerQ/ 4.6.1.5.3.3.0.4.6.When students graduate from college,many of them do not know how they want to spend their working lives and they sometimes move from job to job, until they find something that suits them and of equally importance to which they are suited. Others never find a job in which they are really happy. They remain all their lives square pegs in round holes. When we choose our careers we need to ask ourselves two questions. First, what do we think we would like to be? Second, what kind of people are we? The idea, for example of being a painter or a musician may seem very attractive, but unless we have great talent, and are willing to work very hard. We are certain to fail in these occupations and failure will lead to unhappiness in life. So it is important to assess our suitability for a certain career in job search.PART II LISTENING COMPREHENSION（略）PART III CLOZE31-35 CADBA 36-40 CADAD 41-45 CBDAB 46-50 ADBCBPART IV GRAMMAR & VOCABULARY51-55 DBDCB 56-60 CDCDB 61-65 ACDAB 66-70 DCADBPART VI WRITING大作文题目：The benefits for volunteering小作文题目：向Jane推荐一份英文报纸，说明报纸的两个特点。

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Today there are three different kinds of New Yorkers: the people who act as if they were born here: the people who are here and wish to be elsewhere: and the collection of virtual New Yorkers all over the world, who wish they were living in New York. These are the three states of mind and what they have in common are longing and illusion. In fact, it´ s a city of dreamers.What makes New York special? New Yorkers are convinced of its specialness—but Toronto is more diverse, London is larger, Washington is more powerful. So why does New York think it´ s the capital of the world?People often explain the problems in European cities by citing inequality. But New York today is one of the most unequal cities in America. In 2010, 1 percent of New Yorkers earned 45 percent of its income. That works out to an average of $3.7 million a year for the city´s top 34,500 households. The average daily income of this group is greater than the average annual income of the city´ s bottom 10 percent.So why would people still come to try their luck in this tough place? Is it opportunity or illusion that draws them?They come because any newcomer can find a place in the hierarchy of New York. If you look at a New York City restaurant, for example, the cook might be French, the people washing dishes might be Mexican, the hostess might be Russian, the owner might be British. They are not all equal. They earn different rates. But they work together to get food to hungry people.What New York demonstrates is this: immigration works. The city can use its immigrants, eventhe illegal ones. Though they broke the law by illegally crossing the borders, the city´ s economy would be a shell of itself had they not, and it would collapse if they were deported. Attracted here by the founding myth of the city, each immigrant is seeking to escape from history, personal and political. For him, New York is the city of the second chance.第46题The writer mentions the three kinds of New Yorkers to stress that______.A.they share the same longingB.they are in pursuit of dreamsC.they are proud of their birthplaceD.they wish to live in another place第47题In the eyes of New Yorkers, their city is______.A.powerfulB.diverseC.specialrge第48题The figures in paragraph 3 are given to show that New York______.A.favors the luckyB.favors the localsC.is a city of inequalityD.is a city of opportunities第49题People keep coming to New York because they can find jobs that______.A.challenge themB.suit them wellC.pay them wellD.raise their status第50题It is implied in the text that New York is______.A.a tolerant cityB.a wealthy cityC.a mythical cityD.a historical city上一题下一题(51~55/共15题)ComprehensionDirections:Read the following two texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D.We´ ve read how babies stare longer and cry less when held by pretty people, and heard tales of handsome children doing better in school, given special attention by their teachers. In life, as in love, beautiful people seem to have it awfully easy. But what if we told you that when it comes to online dating, good looks could actually hurt you?According to a recent survey of 43,000 users by OK Cupid, an online dating site, the more men disagree about a woman´s looks, the more they end up liking her. What does that mean for ladies looking for a match? " We now have mathematical evidence that minimizing your´weaknesses´ is the opposite of what you should do," says the site´s co-founder, Christian Rudder. "If you´re a little fat, play it up. If you have a big nose, play it up. Statistically, the guys who don´ t like it can only help you, and the ones who do like it will be all the more excited. "The results of this study end up highlighting an idea that recent scientific research does indeed support. Which is this: the beautiful may have it good, but online, as in work and life, women who are too attractive don´t always have an advantage.Beauty creates more competition—among women, taught they must out-look each other for men and jobs and everyday satisfaction: and among men, who are competing for the most attractive prize. All of which might help explain why 47 percent of corporate recruiters believe it´s possible for a woman to suffer for being " too good-looking": why attractive women tend to face heightened examination from their female peers: or, finally, why men on OK Cupid end up contacting women who may ultimately be less attractive—because it removes the opposition. " If you suspect other men are uninterested, it means less competition," explains Rudder. " You might start thinking: maybe she´ s lonely... maybe she´ s just waiting to find a guy who appreciates her... at least I won´ t get lost in the crowd. "In the end, being beautiful will always have its blessings—but sometimes, there´ s more to an advantage than meets the eye.第51题It is generally believed that beautiful people______.A.have less difficulty in lifeB.are less worried about loveC.pay less attention to othersD.like to gaze at lovely babies第52题The OK Cupid survey found that men´ s arguments over a woman´ s looks______.A.have little meaningB.benefit online datingC.will actually hurt herD.add to her popularity第53题Christian Rudder advises women to______.A.play up their physical advantagesB.view their popularity scientificallyC.highlight their physical weaknessesD.accept guys who are willing to help第54题The attitude of women toward their attractive peers is______.A.criticalB.friendlyC.conservativeD.straightforward第55题The main idea of the text is that a woman´ s good looks______.A.help to shape ideas of beauty。

You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.第1题Most Americans have at least one credit card. They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad. And they also make many banking services available. For many of us the "cashless society" is already here.While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made.At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customers for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer-aided marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, which to develop for thefuture, and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself.Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas and electric utilities to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.According to the passage, the credit card enables its owner to ______ .A withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishesB obtain more convenient services than other people doC enjoy greater trust from the storekeeperD cash money wherever he wishes to【正确答案】：B【本题分数】：1.0分【答案解析】事实细节题。

English speakers enjoy creating new words. In fact, a majority of words are traceable and each of them may have an interesting story.However, no one will really care where a word comes from because it makes little difference in using them in our dally life. Did you ever feel confused about why hamburgers are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham?About a hundred years ago, some men went to American from Europe, coming from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They didn't know how to use English properly. Seen them eating round pieces of beef and asked what it was, the Germans didn't understand the questions exactly, they answered: “we come from Hamburg. “One of the Americans was an owner of a restaurant and got an idea. He cooked some round pieces ofbread with beef and began selling them. Such bread came to be called “hamburgers”. Today, hamburgers are welcomed by l ots of people coming from different nationalities.36.

Being a good youth, one should have those factors: the basic one is health. A healthy body is a kind of priceless treasure. One can do nothing without it. Secondly, we should pay essential attention to our moral character. We should be always willing to help those in trouble without any complaints. Moreover, we should care more about the people around us. Thirdly, cooperation and communication also play an important role in being a good youth. No one can live alone without any friends. And nobody can work out every problem without help of partners. So the youth should and must learn how to live and work well with others, including those people you don't like to cooperate or communicate with. The last but not the least, patriotism, meaning a love of one's country, is the one we should never forget. People always misunderstand the word “patriots” by thinking it only refers to those fighters who fight for their country. As a matter of fact, a patriot will do the things his country asks him to do. So being a youth is one thing, being a good one really needs to take every effort to make yourself to be.41.

A good youth should help others AA) willinglyB) at his convenienceC) if he wants toD) with complains44. From the passage, we can know that cooperation and communication are CA) good for some introvertsB) helpful to usC) important to everyoneD) not necessary to good friends45. In the author's opinion, the patriots must CA) fight for the countryB) learn everythingC) do what their country need them to doD)protect their family and countryTask 3Directions: The following is an advertisement.

For man, like the monkey, it is not instinctive to float. Deaths by drowning are common everywhere. In the United States alone, about 7,000 children under four drown each year. Everything possible is done to prevent such tragedies. One solution that is particularly effective is to teach children to swim while they are still babies. Most large towns in Florida and California already run lessons for babies and infants. The idea has spread: to Europe where, in several countries, special courses are nowarranged for children from seven to twenty-four months. The first step is to eliminate the child’s fear of the water. Next, he’s taught to float. Once he can do this naturally and without fear, the child grasps the technique and can push forward himself through the water.11．What animals swim from birth?All mammals except man and ______.正确答案：the monkey解析：由材料中第一句话可知。

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Today there are three different kinds of New Yorkers: the people who act as if they were born here: the people who are here and wish to be elsewhere: and the collection of virtual New Yorkers all over the world, who wish they were living in New York. These are the three states of mind and what they have in common are longing and illusion. In fact, it´ s a city of dreamers.What makes New York special? New Yorkers are convinced of its specialness—but Toronto is more diverse, London is larger, Washington is more powerful. So why does New York think it´ s the capital of the world?People often explain the problems in European cities by citing inequality. But New York today is one of the most unequal cities in America. In 2010, 1 percent of New Yorkers earned 45 percent of its income. That works out to an average of $3.7 million a year for the city´s top 34,500 households. The average daily income of this group is greater than the average annual income of the city´ s bottom 10 percent.So why would people still come to try their luck in this tough place? Is it opportunity or illusion that draws them?They come because any newcomer can find a place in the hierarchy of New York. If you look at a New York City restaurant, for example, the cook might be French, the people washing dishes might be Mexican, the hostess might be Russian, the owner might be British. They are not all equal. They earn different rates. But they work together to get food to hungry people.What New York demonstrates is this: immigration works. The city can use its immigrants, eventhe illegal ones. Though they broke the law by illegally crossing the borders, the city´ s economy would be a shell of itself had they not, and it would collapse if they were deported. Attracted here by the founding myth of the city, each immigrant is seeking to escape from history, personal and political. For him, New York is the city of the second chance.第46题The writer mentions the three kinds of New Yorkers to stress that______.A.they share the same longingB.they are in pursuit of dreamsC.they are proud of their birthplaceD.they wish to live in another place第47题In the eyes of New Yorkers, their city is______.A.powerfulB.diverseC.specialrge第48题The figures in paragraph 3 are given to show that New York______.A.favors the luckyB.favors the localsC.is a city of inequalityD.is a city of opportunities第49题People keep coming to New York because they can find jobs that______.A.challenge themB.suit them wellC.pay them wellD.raise their status第50题It is implied in the text that New York is______.A.a tolerant cityB.a wealthy cityC.a mythical cityD.a historical city上一题下一题(51~55/共15题)ComprehensionDirections:Read the following two texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D.We´ ve read how babies stare longer and cry less when held by pretty people, and heard tales of handsome children doing better in school, given special attention by their teachers. In life, as in love, beautiful people seem to have it awfully easy. But what if we told you that when it comes to online dating, good looks could actually hurt you?According to a recent survey of 43,000 users by OK Cupid, an online dating site, the more men disagree about a woman´s looks, the more they end up liking her. What does that mean for ladies looking for a match? " We now have mathematical evidence that minimizing your´weaknesses´ is the opposite of what you should do," says the site´s co-founder, Christian Rudder. "If you´re a little fat, play it up. If you have a big nose, play it up. Statistically, the guys who don´ t like it can only help you, and the ones who do like it will be all the more excited. "The results of this study end up highlighting an idea that recent scientific research does indeed support. Which is this: the beautiful may have it good, but online, as in work and life, women who are too attractive don´t always have an advantage.Beauty creates more competition—among women, taught they must out-look each other for men and jobs and everyday satisfaction: and among men, who are competing for the most attractive prize. All of which might help explain why 47 percent of corporate recruiters believe it´s possible for a woman to suffer for being " too good-looking": why attractive women tend to face heightened examination from their female peers: or, finally, why men on OK Cupid end up contacting women who may ultimately be less attractive—because it removes the opposition. " If you suspect other men are uninterested, it means less competition," explains Rudder. " You might start thinking: maybe she´ s lonely... maybe she´ s just waiting to find a guy who appreciates her... at least I won´ t get lost in the crowd. "In the end, being beautiful will always have its blessings—but sometimes, there´ s more to an advantage than meets the eye.第51题It is generally believed that beautiful people______.A.have less difficulty in lifeB.are less worried about loveC.pay less attention to othersD.like to gaze at lovely babies第52题The OK Cupid survey found that men´ s arguments over a woman´ s looks______.A.have little meaningB.benefit online datingC.will actually hurt herD.add to her popularity第53题Christian Rudder advises women to______.A.play up their physical advantagesB.view their popularity scientificallyC.highlight their physical weaknessesD.accept guys who are willing to help第54题The attitude of women toward their attractive peers is______.A.criticalB.friendlyC.conservativeD.straightforward第55题The main idea of the text is that a woman´ s good looks______.A.help to shape ideas of beautyB.can put her at a disadvantageC.end up with blessings for herD.will always appeal to the eye上一题下一题(56~60/共15题)ComprehensionDirections:Read the following two texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Camps have always reflected children´s dreams and parents´fears. In the 1880s, many middle-class families worried that industrial society had broken off some tie to the frontier. Boys were growing soft: too much time with their mothers and teachers, not enough manly activity. So the early camps promised to take weakly boys out into camp life in the woods so that the pursuit of health could be combined with the practical knowledge.Those first campers were wilderness tourists: today a wilderness is anyplace without bandwidth. Allowing cell phone contradicts the point of sleepaway camp: if 19th century campers were meant to regain lost survival skills, 21st century campers need to work on their social skill. They are often missing some basic interactive instruments: fantastically digitally aware, they are less familiar with the ideas of sharing their space, their stuff or the attention of the adults around them. For kids who are allowed to text during dinner, who have their parents whenever they get in trouble or need a ride, a little self-government is probably long overdue.Most camps require kids to leave their phones at home, which shows that the resistance often comes not from the kids but from parents. It´ s known that parents pack off their children with two cell phones, so they can hand over one and still be able to slip away and call. Parents question camp directors about why they can´t reach their kids by phone. Some services let camps post news and pictures to help the families feel as if they are with the kids at camp. But that just invites inquiry about why Johnny looks sad or how Jenny´ s jeans got torn.Even as they yield in varying degrees to the demands of parents, camps endeavor to tell us our kids need a break from our eager interest and exhausting expectations. Camps talk about building independence, argue that having kids learn to solve their own problems and turn to peers and counselors for support is a key part of the experience. The implications are clear. They´ re lighting campfires, hiding and seeking, doing things that feel wonderfully improper if just because they involve getting dirtier than usual. Nothing to worry about, Mom.第56题The whole point of camp in the 19th century is to______.A.acquire the lost survival skillsB.escape from industrial societyC.enjoy beautiful natural sceneryD.explore the woods in the frontier第57题For campers today, wilderness is where______.A.they cannot use cell phonesB.they can realize their dreamsC.they stay far away from homeD.they are trained to be stronger第58题According to the text, today´ s kids are______.A.aware of governing themselvesB.skilled in social communicationC.good at using electronic devicesD.short of the attention from adults第59题After seeing the posted news and pictures of their kids at camp, parents would feel .A.curiousB.pleasantC.relievedD.worried第60题As stated in the last paragraph, camps suggest parents______.A.take back their kids´ cell phonesB.leave their kids alone for a whileC.let their kids have a rest from studyD.call their kids only when necessary上一题下一题(61~65/共5题)ComprehensionDirections:Read the texts from a magazine article in which five people talk about tipping in a restaurant. For questions 36-40, match the name of each person to one of the statements (A-G) given below. It is encouraging to see that, whether out of sympathy for animals or a concern for their own health or both, people are starting to realize that it does not pay to eat too far up on the food chain. Meat need not be what is for dinner. Factory farming is barbaric and cruel. Every person who reduces the use of animals in his life is performing a lifesaving act.Jeff:I am ready to be a vegetarian, but in our country, farmers, food producers, restaurants and supermarkets are not prepared to support me. We all know that it is much easier and less expensive to get a hamburger at McDonald´s or Chinese takeout or a roast chicken from the supermarket than it is to take the time to shop for, assemble and cook a tasty, nutritious and fulfilling vegetarian meal.Rod:I´ve heard another term for vegetarians: beady-eyed vegetarians. They´11 eat things with beady eyes(fish, chicken)but not with big, sad eyes(cows, lambs). A friend of mine explained it by saying he would eat only things he thought he could kill himself. He figures he can kill a fish but not a cow. That seems like a more honest and consistent rationale than some of the others I´ ve heard.Jerry:As a moral vegetarian, I have found that there is great misunderstanding about vegetarian principles in our society. While some vegetarians keep off animals as a matter of health, we moral vegetarians don´ t want other animals to live for us, nor do we want other animals to die for us, as they do for food, clothing and wasteful scientific research. All animals live for their own sake, not for mine.Ellen:Why do some people think that animals and human beings are the same? In my opinion, ahuman life is worth a lot more than an animal´s. I think that we must stop thinking of meat eaters as killers. Vegetarians also kill vegetable life. Is there any difference? Eat vegetables and meat: both help you to be healthy and allow you to have all the nutrients your bodies need.Now match the name of each person(61 to 65)to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements[A]All animals have the right to live for themselves.[B]Some vegetarians in fact eat small-sized animals.[C]Vegetarians need to do more to save animals´ lives.[D]Some people have overstressed the rights of animals.[E]Vegetarians should be consistent in their eating habits.[F]How can I become a vegetarian without a favorable environment?[G]Eating less meat saves not only the life of animals but also that of your own.第61题Laurie _______第62题Jeff ________第63题Rod _______第64题Jerry ______第65题Ellen ______上一题下一题(1/1)WritingDirections:You should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section on your ANSWER SHEET.Part A第66题Your friend Paul is coming to visit you next month.

They' 11 eat things with beady eyes ( fish, chicken) but not with big, sad eyes ( cows, lambs). A friend of mine explained it by saying he would eat only things he thought he could kill himself. He figures he can kill a fish but not a cow. That seems like a more honest and consistent rationale than some of the others I' ve heard.Jerry:As a moral vegetarian, I have found that there is great misunderstanding about vegetarian principles in our society. While some vegetarians keep off animals as a matter of health, we moral vegetarians don' t want other animals to live for us, nor do we want other animals to die for us, as they do for food, clothing and wasteful scientific research. All animals live for their own sake, not for mine.Ellen:Why do some people think that animals and human beings are the same? In my opinion, a human life is worth a lot more than an animal' s. I think that wemust stop thinking of meat eaters as killers. Vegetarians also kill vegetable life. Is there any difference? Eat vegetables and meat; both help you to be healthy and allow you to have all the nutrients your bodies need.Now match the name of each person (61 to65) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.61. Laurie [ A] All animals have the right to live for themselves.62. Jeff [ B ] Some vegetarians in fact eat small-sized animals.63. Rod [ C ] Vegetarians need to do more to save animals' lives.64. Jerry [ D ] Some people have overstressed the rights of animals.65. Ellen [ E ] Vegetarians should be consistent in their eating habits.[ F] How can I become a vegetarian without a favorable environment?[G]Eating less meat saves not only the life of animals but also that ofyour own.SECTION Ⅳ Writing( 40 minutes)Directions:You should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section on your ANSWER SHEET.Part A66.

2014年6月三级真题答案(听力和简答题)
2013年12月三级试题答案Part I Listening ComprehensionSection A1-5 CCDBA 6-10 AAACDSection B11-15 BCABC 16-20 DADAASection CThe roots of Canadian English can be found in the events which follow the American Revolution of 1776. Those who had supported Britain found themselves unable to stay in the new United States, and most went to the Ontario region of Canada. From there they spread to all parts of the country. They were soon followed by many thousands who were attracted by the cheapness of land. Within fifty years, the population of Upper Canada had reached 100,000-- mainly people from the United Sates.In the east, the Atlantic Provinces had been settled with English speakers much earlier. But even today these areas contain less than 10 percent of the population, so that they have only a minor role in the development of Canadian ‘norm’. In Quebec, the use of French language and culture remains from the first period of exploration, with the majority of people using French as the mother tongue : here English and French coexist uneasily.Because of its origins, Canadian English has a great deal in common with the rest of the English spoken in North America--and it’s often difficult to distinguish for people who live outside the region. To British people, Canadians may sound American; to Americans, they may sound British. Canadians themselves insist on not being identified with either, and certainly there is a great deal of evidence in support of this view.21. supported22. spread23. cheapness24. reached25. even26. minor27. remains28. using French as the mother tongue29. it’s often difficult to distinguish for people30. not being identified with either76. 【答案】Network77. 【答案】All kinds of information78. 【答案】communication79. 【答案】their personal information80. 【答案】They have to be careful。
