Ottawa is the capital of Canada.It is the second largest city in Ontario and the fourth largest city in the country.

I picked up my two best friends and we were off on a road trip.I had just returned to America from a year abroad in China.So,naturally I wanted to take a trip to Canada.
Montreal,the second largest city in Canada,is a four hour drive from my home in New Hampshire.We felt a thrill as we crossed the border into Canada.It was the first time I had ever driven across an international border.We turned on the radio to try and find some Canadian stations.
After dropping off our bags at our hotel,we were immediately walking down the famous St.Catherine's Street.While we walked,two things surprised us:how cold it was and how well everyone dressed.The streets of Montreal are like a fashion show.Both men and women look like they stepped out of the pages of a magazine.
All of that fashion has to keep them warm since Montreal is so cold.Last year it broke the record for the most snowfall in North America.To hide from the cold we went into a small diner because we wanted to order Poutine,a very popular snack in Montreal.It is French fries covered in cheese and brown gravy (肉汁).It is delicious.
However,we had a hard time ordering the dish since the official language of Montreal is French.It is actually the fifth largest French speaking city in the world.But since the rest of Canada speak English,plenty of people were there to help.
We spent the rest of the weekend going to many historical churches and monuments in Montreal.But at night we'd head to the very modern dance clubs and bars.Montreal is a city that sits between the past and the future and the traveller can choose whichever direction he wants to go.
5.How do you understand the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3
A.The men and women are really the fashion models of a magazine.
B.The portraits of the men and women are printed in the magazine.
C.They are so well dressed that they look like models in a magazine.
D.The men and women like to copy characters in magazines.
6.Which of the following can NOT be concluded from Paragraphs 3-4
A.The author and his friends couldn't wait to explore the city.
B.The author wasn't used to the weather of Montreal.
C.The citizens from Montreal care much about what they wear.
D.Montreal often holds fashion shows.
7.What can we infer from the passage
A.The author often went to China for a visit.
B.The people they met in the diner were kind and helpful.
C.All the people in the diner were locals.
D.The author went to Montreal on business.
8.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A.The author listened to Canadian radio programmes and chose their first stop as advised.
B.The author took a trip to Montreal-the third largest city in Canada.
C.Montreal broke the record for the most snowfall in the world last year.
D.Montreal is a city which is both traditional and modern.

【概要写作】
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Punishing children is a controversial topic.Everybody has different opinions about how to act to correct a child's behavior.Parents,teachers,doctors,and specialists such as psychologists,have disagreements about whether it is good for a child's education to punish him or her.
The word “punish” means different things to different people.Punishment can be physical or emotional.Physical punishment is when the parent hits,slaps or spanks the child.
On the other hand,emotional punishment is when the parent,in order to educate the child,doesn't let him or her watch TV,go to play with his or her friends,or the like.The parent doesn't teach him or her,but still he or she punishes the child.
Although many surveys and studies have been made about what the correct way is to raise a child,nobody knows the answer or the truth.I think it will be very difficult to find the answer or get people to agree.
I think the parents should love their child and give him or her the best education,but at the same time,they should punish the child if he or she deserves it.I think if you love your child,you should be rational when you apply the punishment.It should be reasonable but strict.
The parents' goal is to have in the future a good man or woman in society,so sometimes you should do what is necessary to get your child to behave well.

Dear Tom,
How happy I am to receive your letter.Now I will tell you something about the trip organized by our Students' Union.Some of us preferred to take a bus while others were fond of walking,and finally we were persuaded to cycle.
When we got there,we were greatly impressed by its beautiful view.All kinds of butterflies were flying freely in the valley,the entire mountain was covered with beautiful flowers,and the air there was pleasant to breathe;as a result,we couldn't wait to walk into nature.
Though we were tired,it was the trip that improved our friendship and raised our awareness to care about the environment.
Best wishes.
Yours,
