Although the size of the overall new vehicle market is larger than it was a decade ago, the size of Canada's midsize car market has been fallen to half. With figures in October, 2019 from Global Automakers of Canada look at their current state.

Ford Fusion: 7 280 sales, up 16 percent

Fusion sales reduced 15 percent in 2015, 9 percent in 2016,33 percent in 2017 and 27 percent in 2018. As Ford clears out the departing Fusion in 2019, sales are rising. Between the Fusion's 20 145-unit peak in2013 and 2018, the former best-seller took a 65-percent dive.

Toyota Camry: 11 579 sales, up 4 percent

When the Camry took over from the Ford Fusion as Canada's top-selling midsize car in 2012, the Camry's market share was little more than half as strong as it is now. Yet while Toyota sold 18 203 Camrys that year (far from the 28 218 that were sold five years earlier). Toyota will find 15 000 buyers in 2019, with a little help from the daily rental market.

Honda Accord: 9 089 sales, down 13 percent

The Accord is, by modern standards, a popular midsize car. But this 10th-generation car is a far cry from the Accord that led the market with 25 814 sales in 2004. Honda is not likely to sell half so many Accords in Canada in 2019, although the car's market share has grown from the 13 percent it held in 2010

Chevrolet Malibu: 4 674 sales, down 14 percent

The Malibu had continuous improvements in 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016. But after reporting 11 503 Malibu sales in 2016, GM Canada sold 29 per cent fewer in 2017 and then posted an 18-percent Malibu drop in 2018. Demand is weakening further in 2019.

1.Which car has the biggest rate of change in 2019?

A.Ford Fusion. B.Toyota Camry.

C.Honda Accord. D.Chevrolet Malibu.

2.What helps Toyota Camry sell the most cars?

A.Its strong structure. B.Its popular midsize.

C.The most market share. D.The flexible market policy.

3.What do the four cars have in common?

A.Sales are not optimistic in 2019. B.Sales trends are not what they used to be.

C.New generations will improve car sales. D.These data are from all over the world.

China is now sending more college students to study in the United States than any other country. A new report shows a 23 percent increase in the number of Chinese students coming to the U.S.

The latest edition of the annual Institute of International Education (IIE) and another US institute found a 5 percent rise in the number of international university students in the US compared to one year ago. There are now over 157, 000 Chinese students at U.S. colleges and universities.

Asia accounted for four of the top five countries and regions to take advantage of the US higher education system. “Increased numbers of students from China, particularly at the undergraduate level, largely accounts for the growth this past year,” the report stated. “They really enroll in a full range of US higher education,” said Peggy Blumenthal, senior counselor to the president of IIE, the group that made the report. “20 years ago, students from China only knew of a handful of US institutions, but now, they are enrolling in our community colleges, in our small liberal arts institutions, in the research universities. Really spread across the country,” she said.

Chinese mainland was in the number one spot, while India was the number two country of origin. South Korea was the third and Canada was number four. China’s Taiwan held the number five spot. Saudi Arabia was in sixth with a 44-percent increase, while Japan was seventh, down 14 percent.

Blumenthal associates the increase in the number of Chinese students heading to US colleges to limited university places in China, as well as a feeling from students and their parents than they want a “unique” educational experience. China’s family planning policy, says Blumenthal, has also meant that families can concentrate resources on a single child.

The University of California at Los Angeles has one of the largest Asian student populations of any college in the United States.

1. Which ranked the third place sharing US higher education?

A. Saudi Arabia    B. South Korea

C. Canada    　　 D. India

2.Why is the number of Chinese students going to the US increasing?

A. The US colleges are better than those in China.

B. Each family in China has only one child.

C. China lacks enough educational resources.

D. Chinese students can enter varieties of US colleges.

3.Which of the following is right according to Peggy Blumenthal?

A. The number of Chinese students going to the US has increased by 23%.

B. The University of California has contributed to Asian education greatly.

C. Chinese student populations in the US mainly consist of undergraduates.

D. Chinese students know more about US higher education than before.

4. The best title for the passage can be ________.

A. Chinese College Students Rush to US Schools

B. The Large Number of Chinese Students in the US

C. Chinese Students Make Up Largely Foreign Students in the US

D. Asian Middle School Students in the US Universities

Compared to the history of China, the history of the United States is quite short. 1. In 1776, 13 colonies（殖民地）located on the eastern coast of North America declared independence and fought a revolution against the British. In 1783 the colonists won the revolution and gained their independence.

After the revolution, the United States bought a large section of country from Napoleon of France. This purchase doubled（加倍）the size of the United States. 2. If he hadn’t needed that money, the United States might have stayed a small country. Texas and most of what is now the southwestern part of the United States belonged to Mexico. The people of Texas fought a revolution against Mexico. 3. Later, the United States and Mexico went to war. If Mexico had defeated the United States in that war, California and New Mexico would have been part of Mexico today.

The British and the Americans both claimed the northwestern part of the country. They settled their differences with a compromise. South of the 49th parallel was the United States. North of the 49th parallel was Canada. In 1861 one half of the United States did go to war with the other half. 4. President Lincoln wanted to free slaves. He was supported by the North but opposed by the South. The South wanted to separate from the rest of the country and become independent. 5.

Following the Civil War, the United States bought Alaska from Russia. Today it is the largest state in the country and a very important one, too.

A. This was the Civil War.

B. It was controlled by England then.

C. It began little more than 200 years ago.

D. After 4 years of war, the South was defeated.

E. Napoleon needed money for his European wars.

F. They became independent and joined the United States.

G. At that time many people didn’t think Alaska was important.

Unlike China, where the majority of society belongs to the Han ethnic group, the United States is home to people from many different ethnic and cultural backgrounds, creating great diversity within its lively society.

However, historical events that created this diversity also led to racial disputes and prejudice that have lasted until today. Around days like Martin Luther King Day, people in the US are especially sensitive to racist comments and behavior.

Recently, a Facebook message posted by a white student at my boarding school started a wave of anger among African American students and started heated conversations about minority groups at the school.

The students posted an article written by someone else who stated that Robert E. Lee, a Confederate general during the US Civil War, should be commemorated(纪念). As the Confederates broke from the Union in order to keep slavery in their states, they were usually seen as racists. The post received a flood of comments from both white and black students within minutes, and conversation about the topic spread across campus quickly.

A fishbowl conversation was organized the evening the article was posted, and students and faculty (学院) members talked about their feelings and opinions. During the discussion, students from minority groups, including African American, Jewish, Asian and Indian students, spoke up about how they felt about living in a society mainly made up of people who are different from them. It turned out that many people felt isolated because of their differences from other people.

The diversity of society can open up interesting opportunities, but the great differences between people can also create huge gaps and misunderstandings if they are not treated carefully. Thus, effective communication is essential.

After the fishbowl conversation, the atmosphere in the school seemed to be changing, at least from my point of view. Students seemed to be talking and acting more freely than before, and the expressions of judgement were seen less on their faces.

1.The main purpose of Paragraph 1 is to ______.

A.draw attention to the fact that racial problems still exist in America.

B.show that the United States has a wonderfully diverse culture.

C.explain how sensitive people in the US are to racist comments and behavior.

D.point out the differences between American culture and those of other countries.

2.Which of the following statements is TRUE? ______.

A.The post was offensive to black students.

B.The post was aimed at African American students.

C.The author of he post was strongly in favor of slavery.

D.The author of the post held a negative attitude toward minority groups.

3.According to the article, the fishbowl conversation was held mainly to ______.

A.figure out whether the article should be posted or not.

B.educate students on how to express their opinions appropriately.

C.improve the lives of people who belongs to minority groups on campus.

D.get people to communicate how they felt and thought about the post.

4.What did the author learn from the incident? ______.

A.We should learn to live with others’ differences.

B.We should always feel free to share our feelings.

C.Effective communication is very important in a diverse society.

D.If there is no difference, then there is no misunderstanding.

In the United States, 30%of the grown-up population has a “weight problem”. To many people, the cause is clear: we eat too much. But scientific experiments do little to support this idea. Going back to the America of 1910, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less, and didn’t watch TV.

Several modern studies, besides, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average than thinner people. In fact, some research work, such as the 1979 study of 3,545 London office workers, reports that fat people eat less than thinner people on average. Studies show that thin people are more active than fat people. A study by the research group at Standford University School of Medicine found the following fact: the more the man ran, the greater body fat he lost. The more he ran, the greater was his need for food. Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.

1. What kind of physical problem do many grown-up Americans have?

A. They are too thin.               B. They work too hard.

C. They are too fat.                D. They lose too much body fat.

2. Based on the information given this article, suppose there are 500 grown-up Americans, about how many of them have a weight problem?

A. 30     B. 50        C. 100       D. 150

3. Are there scientific facts to support that eating too much is the cause of the “weight problem”?

A. Yes, there are plenty of them.

B. Of course, there are facts to show this is true.

C. There are hardly any scientific facts to support this.

D. We don’t know because the information is not given.

4. Compared with the grown-up Americans today, the Americans of 1910______.

A. ate more food and had more physical activities

B. ate less food but had more activities

C. ate less food and had less physical activities

D. had more weight problems
