阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

Canada is the second-largest country in the world, with almost 10 million square kilometres of landmass. Due to(由于) its size, it is divided into four different regions(地区).

The Atlantic Provinces

Fishing is the old industry in this region. Agricultural crops, such as fruit and potatoes, and forests, which produce paper and lumber(木材), form part of the industry. Traditionally depending on fishing and farming, they are developing other natural resources, such as oil and copper.

Central Canada

Ontario and Quebec form the industrial and manufacturing(制造业的) heart of Canada. They produce three quarters of Canada’s goods. More than half of Canada’s population lives in the cities in the southern part of Ontario and Quebec. Most of the people living in Quebec speak French.

The West Coast

The British Columbia Coast is Canada’s western continental coastline(海岸线 ). Europeans settled(定居) in British Columbia in the early 1800s. The railroad built by the government in the late 1800s made moving much easier. Thousands of Chinese came to British Columbia during this period to work on the railroad. British Columbia has the　　　　　　　　　　　　　 most valuable forest industry in Canada.

Salmon(鲑鱼) fishing is not only a popular sport, but also an important part of the industry. Pacific salmon are exported(出口) all over the world.

The North

The Yukon and the Northwest Territories(领土) cover a third of Canada. This huge region has a very small population. Most of the people are natives. There are several native languages, which are equal(平等的) in status(地位) to English and French. During the Gold Rush at the end of the 1800s, thousands of miners(矿工) came to make their fortune(财富). Mining is still an important industry in this region.

1.What’s the old industry in the Atlantic Provinces?

2.What language do most of the people living in Quebec speak?

3.Why did thousands of Chinese go to British Columbia in the late 1800s?

4.What is still an important industry in the North region?

5.What is the passage mainly about?

Canada, the second largest country in the world, lies in the north of America. The population of Canada is about 29 million and the capital is Ottawa. The country covers about 9,980,000 square kilometers and six of the world’s 24 time areas (时区) as well.

There are two official languages spoken in Canada: French and English. Many people can speak both English and French. More than 60% of Canadians speak English as their language. About 25% of the Canadians speak French. In one province of Canada where French is the common language, the programmes on TV and radios as well as the teaching in schools are all in French. Today, Chinese has become the first inofficial(非官方的) language in Canada.

Canada’s climate is not as cold all year around as some may believe. In winter, temperatures fall below freezing point throughout most of Canada. In summer, the southern provinces often experience high levels of temperatures that can reach over 30℃ regularly. The weather in Canada is just like the weather in China. It is rather cold in the north while it is fairly warm in the south. Winters in the north last long with snow for half a year. As the cold northern climate, only one-fifth of the land is suitable for farming.

As it is known to all, Canada has one-third of the world’s supply of fresh water. It has many great lakes. There are five great lakes in the south. And there are many others, especially in the north. It is also rich in natural resources, such as coal, oil, natural gas of which Canadians make use to produce energy.

People of northern Canada are called Inuit (因纽特人), who came from Asia and settled in Canada about 4,000 years ago. They used to travel around from place to place with teams of dogs which pulled their baggage. Now, they seldom move. There are about 2,500 Inuit in all. The government has started a new school project in which Inuit teach their own young children. So it is hoped that the way of Inuit life will be kept alive for more centuries.

1.How many people are there living in Canada?

A．About 24 million.                       B．About 29 million.

C．About 25 million.                        D．About 9,980,000.

2.Today, most Canadians speak _________ as their first language.

A．French           B．Chinese           C．English            D．Japanese

3.Only ________ of the land is fit for farming because of the cold northern climate.

A．15%             B．20%              C．30%              D．50%

4.Which statement about Inuit is NOT right?

A．They settled in Canada about 4,000 years ago.

B．Dogs could help them pull their baggage when they had to travel years ago.

C．They can teach their own young children according to the new school project.

D．They way of Inuit life may disappear in the future.

5.From the passage we can know _________.

A．Canada lies in the south of America

B．Canada has many different kinds of natural resources.

C．the weather in Canada is so cold the whole year as some people think

D．the Canadians government pays little attention to Inuit’s education.
