题型专项突破-Unit2阅读理解（英语学习篇）
一、阅读理解 阅读下列短文，从各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。 1.
One Canada, Two Languages
Canada is one of the few nations in the world to have two official languages： English and French. There are 10 provinces in the country, but only one of these—Quebec is known as “French Canada”. This is because it was founded by French explorers while British adventurers discovered the rest.
Canada left the British Empire (帝国) in 1867 to become an independent country and English and French have been recognized as the official languages ever since.
Most people speak English as their first language and the two national television networks broadcast in English throughout the country. Apart from in Quebec and a few places on the east coast, French television is very rare.
The same goes for traffic signs and menus, for example, outside of Quebec, there are only a few places where you?ll see traffic signs in French. In restaurants,it5s almost impossible to find French on the menu unless you are in the heartland (中心地带）of French Canada. However, all products sold in Canada must, by law，have labels (标签）and instructions in both languages.
In Canada?s English-speaking provinces, official bilingualism means that students can choose to complete a special French language course. Under this program, they are taught most of their subjects in French.
If a student begins the course in kindergarten (幼儿 园）or Grade One, it is likely that all his lessons will be in French. However, if he starts at junior high school, 25 percent of the teaching will continue to be in English. (1) Which country controlled Canada before its independence? A. France. B. Britain. C. America. D. Germany.

B. if you choose a special French language course, most of the subjects will be taught in French.
C. The courses in primary schools are all taught in English. D. Most of the courses in junior high schools are taught in English. 答案：(1)-(4) BBCB
解析：[语篇解读]加拿大是一个双语国家，英语和法语是官方语言，学生如果选择一门专门的法语语言课程，那么大部分学科将用法语进行授课。
(1) 细节理解题。根据第二段的信息并结合历史知识可知，加拿大独立之前受大英帝国统治。
(2) 细节理解题。根据第三段中的信息“Apart from in Quebec and a few places on the east coast, French television is very rare.”可知，除了魁北克和东部沿海少数几个地方外，其他地方很少有法语电视节目。所以选择B项。
(3) 词义猜测题。文章开篇点明加拿大是一个双语国家，英语和法语是官方语言。首先排除A项。然后仔细揣摩本段意思可以看出，在加拿大讲英语的省份，双语教育(bilingualism)意味着学生可以选择一门专门用法语授课的课程，显然C项正确。
(4) 推理判断题。根据最后两段可以看出，学生如果选择这门专门的法语语言课程，

When it comes to learning a foreign language, many people wonder if they will be able to memorize enough vocabulary. But this question never happens about their mother tongue, and yet, it was a foreign language once. However, among all the questions that new parents ask, no doctor has ever heard “Will my baby be able to learn my language?” To be honest, do you know all the words of your mother tongue? The answer is “No”.
New words, and new ways of using old words, appear every day. Twenty years ago, who would have been able to understand a sentence like this: “Click here to download your digital book”? Nobody. You never stop learning new vocabulary and you never know how long you will need it.
Sometimes，you have the word on the tip of your tongue... and it sticks there! But you do know this phenomenon (现象）and think that it isn?t because of a bad memory. You should not give this phenomenon more importance in the language you are learning than in your mother tongue.
You need to learn only 2,000 or so basic words to be able to create any phrase you need. You can?t avoid some work in order to learn these necessary words and all the more if you want to learn quickly. And before you consider buying into any method, be sure it is right for you. It is not wise to depend on any method based upon mnemonics (记忆术).The first words seem very easy to learn, so you buy the course, but then you discover quickly, though too late，that some words later are more difficult to learn. (1) From the first paragraph, we can infer that ________. A. there is no need to know all the words of a foreign language B. it is honest to answer “no” to a question you don?t know C. a baby can know all the new words of its mother tongue D. people find it hard to memorize the vocabulary of their language (2) The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 probably means ________. A. you can remember the word B. you just fail to remember the word
