Why Go to Canada? Huge, scenic and sparsely populated, Canada was rated by the United Nations Human Development Index as the best country to live in. The land of new hopes and opportunities attracts people worldwide—visitors, migrants and overseas students—and offers its permanent residents the sweetest benefit package, who in turn contribute significantly to its economic growth, and bring customs and traditions, rituals and culture to the forefront of current government. Two types of immigrants Very few people really understand or know anything about the process of immigration application. First of all a potential immigrant needs to know something about the rules and regulations. The Canadian Government has designed a point system to assess potential independent immigrants. Emphasis is placed on education, practical training, experience and the likelihood of
successful settlement in Canada. This means that people with a bachelor degree of some kind and advanced technical or other skills that are in demand in Canada, are more likely to be accepted. The Government also adds weight to an application if the individual is fluent in Canada’s official languages, English and French. Therefore someone with a good command of either English or French will have a better chance. Another way to immigrate to Canada is via the immigrant investor program. This provides an opportunity for experienced business persons to immigrate to Canada after making a substantial investment in a provincial government-administered venture capital fund. Apply for immigration directly to the government If you think you fulfill all the criteria you can easily apply for immigration by yourself. The Canadian Government clearly states: “Any one can apply without the help of a third party”. As often happens in these situations, unscrupulous (不讲道德的) agents can take advantage of people who think that the only way they can immigrate is by paying huge mounts of money. People who want to become immigrants should carefully investigate the reputation and qualifications of third parties who offer their services for a fee. So why bother to use an migration agent if application is easy? Hire professionals to apply on your behalf Actually there are many good reasons why so many intending migrants use such services. What the least competent and reliable professionals do is simply fill out the forms and send them to the Canadian Embassy with the required fees and documents! Some individuals (who can be referred to as “unscrupulous agents”) may fail to send in the correct documents, delay the clients’ application delivery, talk an unqualified candidate into buying their services despite the high possibility that the visa application will be refused or even suggest their clients supply fraudulent (诈骗的) documents that are often discovered by the Canadian Embassy. Conversely, a highly qualified and reliable professional service justifies its costs for the comprehensive services it provides. A professional and reliable immigration firm should provide these five services for its clients: Assessing chances of success 1. An intending immigrant must first be well aware of his chances of success. A substantial amount of necessary payment and the potential impact on an applicant’s life (i.e. thinking they will be accepted) can be avoided. A highly experienced immigration professional is capable of assessing a client’s chances of success with an extremely high degree of certainty. In the case of a most unfavorable application, he discourages the client’s application. Highlighting qualifications 2. Depending on an effective interpretation of the selection rules as well as accumulated experiences, an experienced immigration professional highlights the applicant’s qualities and helps persuade visa officials that the applicant is worthy of selection and meets all the selection criteria. If a person doesn’t seem qualified, the adviser tries to find out other alternatives that may exist to make him a successful applicant. Such instances where qualified persons were discouraged from making applications are numerous. For example, a computer programmer whose professional skills are highly sought after in the Canadian labor market may be considered unqualified by the variance of their job description to the specifications in the National Occupational Descriptions published by the Canadian Government. An experienced immigration professional avoids areas of potential
misunderstanding and best ensures that all the documents submitted and answers given at an interview will support a successful application. Boosting chances of success 3. The presentation or package of the application often makes a decisive impression on the vise officer. An experienced immigration professional identifies what type of information can be supplied that is most likely to favorably impress the visa officer considering the application. Improving chances if not qualified 4. In the case of a person who simply does not qualify, an immigration professional indicates the reasons that may lead to their vise application refusal and tries to find our ways to improve their circumstances so they become qualified. Anticipating problems 5. A seasoned immigration professional helps identify potential problems and provides advice in advance. An immigration professional is expected to be familiar with immigration law, she advises the applicant whether or not to submit certain complimentary documents, what evidence needs to be acquired to help support the candidate, and what should be avoided that may cause a negative impact on the application. Either way, you make a choice. Additionally, in the case of a refused application, a reliable immigration consulting firm should effectively defend its applicants from uneven interpretation, misapplication or even breaches of regulations. So, if you are interested in immigrating, you could try to apply on your own, or if you want to save yourself all the stress and confusion of applying, you could go for one of the reliable, professional immigration firms.

听力原文： Thousands of persons die each year after eating or drinking poisonous substances. Experts say most accidental poisonings happen at or near the home. And most are caused by substances we commonly use at home: medical supplies, insect poisons or cleaning fluids. There are several common signs of poisoning. A sudden feeling of pain or sickness. Bums in the area of the mouth. Or an unusual smell coming from a person’s mouth. Health experts generally advise poison victims to drink water or milk. But never give liquids to someone who is not awake or to those having a violent reaction to the poison. Next, seek help from professional medical experts. Save the material expelled from the mouth for doctors to examine. Save the container of the suspected poison to answer questions the doctors may have. The container may also describe a substance that halts the poison’s effects. Use this substance without delay. Health experts say vomiting sometimes may be started if medical advice is delayed. But vomiting should be used only when it is known the victim took too much of what is called a general poison, such as a medicine. The experts suggest never cause vomiting if the victim was poisoned by a petroleum product or by a substance that was a strong acid or strong alkali. These victims should be taken to a medical center as soon as possible.

C．Unusual smell. D．Milk.

正确答案：C
听力原文： How people first learned to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that people, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words. The power of words, then, lies in their associations--the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meanings for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases. Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express those thoughts in words which appeal to our minds and emotions. This charming use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.
26．
A．The origin of language is a legend handed down from the past. B．The origin of language is a matter that is hidden or secret.
C．The origin of language is a question difficult to answer. D．The origin of language is a problem not yet solved.
正确答案：D
听力原文：M: Hi Diana, mind if I sit down?W: Not at all, Jerry. How have you been?M: Good. But I’m surprised to see you on the city bus. Is your car in the shop?W: No. I’ve just been thinking a lot about the environment lately. I think the air will be a lot cleaner if we all use public transportation when we could.M: You are right. The diesel bus isn’t exactly pollution free.W: True. But they’ll be running a lot cleaner soon. We were just talking about that in my environmental engineering class.M: What’s the city going to do? Install pollution filters in the buses?W: They could, but those filters make the engines work harder and really cut down on fuel efficiency. Instead they found a way to make their engines more efficient.M: How?W: Well, there is a material called the coniine oxide. It’s a really good insulator. And a thick coat of it gets sprayed on the certain part of the engine.M: An insulator?W: Yeah. Actually, what it does is to reflect back the heat of burning fuel. So the fuel will bum more completely.M: Sounds like people should all go out and get this stuff to spray their car engines.W: Well, it’s not really that easy. You first have to heat the material over 10,000 degrees and then, well, you get the idea. It’s not something you or I can do ourselves.

听力原文： Today we’re going to talk about shyness and discuss recent research on ways to help children learn to get along with others socially. Many people consider themselves shy. In fact, forty percent of people who took part in our survey said they were shy--that’s two out of every five people. And there are studies to indicate that the tendency toward shyness may be inherited. But certain timid children doesn’t mean that they are bound to be shy forever. There is something parents, teachers, and the children themselves can do to overcome this tendency--and even to prevent it. Our researchers found that if parents gently push their shy children to try new things, they can help these children become less afraid and less inhibited. Another way to help shy children is to train them in social skills. For example, there are special training programs where children are taught things like looking at other children while talking to them, talking about others’ interests, and
even smiling. These groups have been very successful in giving shy children a place to feel safe and accepted, and building up their self-esteem.
33．
A．Showing children how to behave. B．Helping children overcome shyness. C．Several causes of children’s shyness. D．How timid children become shy adults.

B．Those who have suffered childhood.
C．Those who have been trained in social skills.

C．Protect them from other children. D．Persuade them to try new things.

Section BDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.
In recent years many countries have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive. Some experts claim the answer is to make jobs more varied. But do more varied jobs lead to greater productivity? There is evidence to suggest that while variety certainly makes the worker’s life more enjoyable, it does not actually make him work harder. As far as increasing productivity is concerned, then, variety is not an important factor. Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way is important. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery. Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is usually very little that can be
done to create it. Another important consideration is how much each worker contributes to the product he is making. In most factories the worker sees only one small part of the product. Some car factories are now experimenting with having many small production lines, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line. It would seem that not only is degree of worker contribution an important factor, but it is also one we can do something about. To what extent does more money lead to great productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this is important. But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring. Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working hours. Perhaps if we succeed in making their jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money, not will shorter working hours be so important to them.
58． According to the author, varied jobs ______. A．make workers more productive
B．make the worker’s life more enjoyable C．make workers work much harder
D．make things much easier for workers
正确答案：B
解析：事实细节题。文章第一段中提到：“有证据表明，工作的多样性能使工人的生活更加愉快(enjoyable)，但实际上并不能让工人工作得更加努力。”A、C、D都和文章内容不符。
59． Different from the first group of experts, other experts believe that ______. A．jobs should be made more interesting
B．factories should have more complicated machinery C．workers’ wages must be sufficiently increased
D．workers should be given the freedom to do jobs in their way
正确答案：D
解析：事实细节题。第二段第一句话正是这个问题的答案。
60． It is clear from the passage that the author considers ______. A．a sense of contribution to the product important B．a sense of responsibility of the worker significant C．a large number of production lines essential D．a large number of workers highly necessary
正确答案：A
解析：推理判断题。文章第三段第一句话：“另一种重要的考虑是每个工人对他生产的产品做出了多大贡献”。因此得出结论作者认为奉献精神很重要。所以选A。
61． In the passage, the author seems to suggest that ______. A．more money leads to demands for shorter working hours
B．more money does not automatically create higher productivity C．workers like more money better than more interesting jobs
D．workers expect to have both more money and more interesting jobs
正确答案：B
解析：综合分析题。从最后一段可以看出，作者对金钱对提高生产力能起的作用是持怀疑态度的，工人想得到更多的金钱是因为他们做的工作很枯燥，如果把工作变得有趣，他们就不会要求更多的金钱，也不会要求减少劳动时间，因此应选B。
62． What is the key issue the author discusses in this passage? A．How to make workers enjoy life better. B．How to make workers work shorter hours. C．How to make workers more productive.
D．How to make jobs more interesting to workers.
正确答案：C
解析：判断中心思想题。第一段的第一句话正好回答了这个问题。
By far the most common snake in Britain is the adder (蝰蛇). In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the only British snake with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high ground. In Ireland there are no snakes at all. Most people regard snake bites as a fatal misfortune, but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal. Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surgery and other unnecessary measures. All snakes have small teeth, so it follows that all snakes can bite, but only the bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and are far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally, or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close. The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is the body-weight of the person bitten. The bigger the person, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites in Britain, and though these bites can make some people very ill, there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect, as there are of serious illness.
63． If you are with someone who is bitten by an adder you should ______. A．try to catch the adder
B．make no attempt to treat the bite C．not worry about the victim D．operate as soon as possible
正确答案：B
解析：事实细节题。文章第二段说：“并非所有的咬伤都那么严重，只有很少量的咬伤会致命，有时紧急救治的企图比咬伤本身更加危险”。由此可见当有人被咬伤时不应做处理。
64． We are told that adders are ______. A．normally friendly towards people B．unlikely to bite except in self-defence
C．aggressive towards anyone in their territory D．not afraid of human beings
正确答案：B
解析：逻辑推理题。第三段中间部分提到英国蛇是胆怯的动物，它们怕你胜过你怕它们。蝰蛇只有在受到威胁时才发动攻击，这与答案B的内容相符。
65． If an adder hears you approaching, it will usually ______. A．move out of your path B．take no notice of you at all C．disappear very quickly
D．wait until you are close and then attack
正确答案：A
解析：事实细节题。答案A和文章第三段“If it hears you coming，it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can,…”的意义相符合。
66． We are told that in general British people think snakes are ______. A．not very common in Britain B．usually harmless
C．more dangerous than they usually are D．unlikely to kill people by their bite
正确答案：D
解析：事实细节题。文章第一段指出蝰蛇的咬伤有时作用很小，或没作用，因此选D。
67． Which of the following is NOT true? A．Adders can’t be found in Ireland.
B．Emergency treatment is always critical for snake bites.
C．Adders are possibly afraid of people. D．Snake bites have less effect on adults.
正确答案：B
解析：综合理解题。选项A不对，因为文中提到在爱尔兰根本就没有蛇。选项C不对，因为文中提到英国蛇是胆怯的动物。选项D也不对，因为文中提到人越大咬伤的伤害就越小。因此只有选B。

68． 【C1】 A．chat B．memory C．registration D．neglect
正确答案：B
解析：语义题。memory意为“记忆，记住”。此句讲记住基本知识是很不容易的事情。registration意为“注册，登记”；neglect意为“忽略，忽视”，如：neglect one’s duty．玩忽职守。
69． 【C2】 A．undesirable
B．famous C．possible D．incredible
正确答案：D
解析：incredible意为”不可思议的，了不起的”；undesirable意为“不受欢迎的，令人不快的”。根据上下文，可以判定此处意为：记住基本知识是件了不起的事情。故选D。
70． 【C3】 A．maybe B．probably C．specially D．rarely
正确答案：B

72． 【C5】 A．irreadable B．illiterate C．blind D．deaf

正确答案：A
解析：语篇题。下文列举了三个老师，可以判断in a lifetime最为合适。
76． 【C9】 A．teacher B．instructor C．luck D．wealth
正确答案：C
解析：语篇题。承前文“如果幸运的话，会遇到好老师”，本句讲一生中遇到了三个好老师，自然是best of my luck。注意：但就某一个句子而言，完形填空中的四个选项可能在意义或用法上都说得通，但是确定汇确选项要考虑文章整体或者上下文。
77． 【C10】 A．but B．and C．or D．if
正确答案：B
解析：此处列举了三个教师，因此用and连接。

88． 【M1】

而不是“如何学习”。
89． 【M2】
正确答案：begin改成beginning
解析：从语法上来讲，这里应该是进行时态，应该用begin的现在分词形式beginning。
90． 【M3】
正确答案：makes改成make 解析：此处考查主谓一致。
91． 【M4】
正确答案：much改成more
解析：此处考查比较级的用法。多音节的形容词或副词比较级由“more+形容词/副词”构成。
92． 【M5】
正确答案：can ∧ join改成not
解析：此处为逻辑判断题。从上下文来看，动物和人类之间的区别在于动物不能遣词造句。
93． 【M6】
正确答案：because of改成because
解析：此处考查连接词的用法。因为后面是从句they have no language，所以此处不能用介词短语because of，只能用连接词because。

正确答案：wonderfully改成wonderful
解析：此处应该用形容词来修饰名词thing，原文误用了其副词形式。
