Planning your to do list for the coming year To help you out, we’ve collected our favorite must see events across Canada.
Red or White Wine
Every spring wine growers get together to celebrate the beginning of another grape growing season at the Okanagan Spring Wine Festival. The best time to visit the Okanagan is usually from May 1st to 10th.The festival allows visitors to taste the best wines in Canada together with unique dishes representing the latest progress in local cuisine.
The Jazz Festival
Montreal’s downtown comes alive every summer during the International Jazz Festival. This Year the event is scheduled to run from June 29th to July 9th.Stages replace cars along busy streets. With a host of free outdoor shows, you’ll be snapping your fingers to anything from Dixieland to blues, African beats to modern trip hop, and everything in between.
The Newfoundland Targa Rally
Just head east to the Newfoundland Targa Rally, which runs from September 9th to 16th this year. The 2,200 kilometre race dashes across the eastern and central parts of the province, and is the largest race of its kind in North America. On these sections you race against the clock rather than other competitors. This is a great chance to test your car’s limits and your skills.
The Canadian Tulip Festival
In 1945，thousands of tulip bulbs(郁金香球根), gifts from Holland, were planted on Ottawa’s Parliament Hill, Canada. These gifts were a thank you to Canadian soldiers who helped set Holland free in World War Ⅱ. Since then, the capital has become home to the Canadian Tulip Festival.

B
Commuters (上下班往返的人) who drive to work will face a parking charge of up to 350 a year. Ministers are backing a workplace parking charge which will come into force in Nottingham in 2013 and is likely to be adopted across the country. The scheme will see firms with more than ten parking places for staff charged 350 a year for each space in two years.
Employers would be free to pass on the charge to their staff — meaning it would effectively be a tax on driving to work. The scheme aims to reduce traffic by preventing unnecessary car journeys and raise funds to improve public transport, but critics say it is just an excuse for councils to fill their coffers (金库).
Some ten million Britons drive to work each day, and the British Chambers of Commerce says the new charge could total 3.4 billion a year if rolled out nationwide.
Already some firms in Nottingham have threatened to leave the city, where 40,000 commuters use their cars to get to work. A spokesman said the scheme was nothing more than a tax on jobs.＂It is very unfair to discriminate against those employers who have parking spaces, which get vehicles off the streets,＂ he said.＂And these charges apply around the clock, which is especially unfair on shift workers who rely on their cars because public transport is not available. This is more about increasing the government’s income than reducing traffic.＂
However, Transport Minister Sadiq Khan gave the plan an official approval during a visit to Nottingham. The council says the tax will raise as much as 100 million over ten years — one fifth of the cost of a new transport system for the city.
Another transport spokesman Theresa Villiers said the tax would have a devastating impact on businesses struggling to cope with the economic decline.
But Richard Hebditch of the Campaign for Better Transport said the tax would raise money to invest in better transport.＂We put forward the idea of workplace parking taxes as a fairer way to raise money to invest in the future local transport services. We are pleased that the people of Nottingham will be the first to benefit.＂
4. Supporters argue that the scheme___________.
A. can help improve the parking conditions for the staff
B. should be applied to ail commuters driving to work
C. is certain to be carried out despite the objections
D. will relieve traffic pressure and improve public transport
5. According to the objectors, the scheme is unfair for___________.
A. the firms with parking lots
B. the workforce without cars
C. the employees parking their cars on the streets
D. the staff driving to work in the daytime
6. Which word can best describe Theresa Villiers’s attitude towards the scheme
A. Neutral.　　　　　　 B. Negative. C. Understanding.　　 D. Positive.
7. It can be inferred from the passage that___________.
A. many firms are willing to pay the charges for their staff
B. the public transport in Nottingham is in great need of improvement
C. the author believes Britons will benefit from the scheme
D. those firms with more commuters will leave Nottingham

Dear Li Lei,

I’m glad to know you will come to Beijing.

I. 单项填空
1. B 【解析】考查短语辨析和固定句式。other than除了；不同于；as well as与……一样；也；rather than而不是。It was...that...构成强调句式。
2. B 【解析】考查动词短语辨析。A项＂取下；写下；拆除＂；B项＂击落；降低(价格等)＂；C项＂传递＂；D 项＂拆除；弄倒＂。
5. A 【解析】句意：男孩脸上恐惧的表情告诉我们他害怕看到的一切。因＂激动、吃惊、害怕＂等呈现的面部表情，发出的声音，应用过去分词修饰，故第一个空用terrified；第二个空用terrified做表语，强调小男孩的状态；be terrified of...＂害怕……＂，为固定搭配。
6. B 【解析】句意：因为有许多难题要解决，经理感觉像热锅上的蚂蚁。＂with＋宾语＋to do＂结构作状语表将来，实际上此题中的with结构就相当于with a lot of difficult problems for him to settle，所以尽管settle和problems之间是被动关系，仍用主动形式。
7. A 【解析】surround与the old man之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，所以此题应用surround的过去分词作状语。
8. D 【解析】此句补充完整为：He spent at least as much time reading as you spent chatting online yesterday.因为前面已出现了一次you spent...，为了避免重复，所以用did代替；spend的用法是：spend time(in)doing sth.，所以选用D项。
9. C 【解析】考查manage的用法。manage to do sth.意为＂设法完成某事＂，相当于succeed in doing sth.；而try to do sth.意为＂努力做某事＂，但不一定成功。
10. C 【解析】as much as经常与不可数名词连用，一般来说名词要放在much的后面。
14. B 【解析】考查名词性从句。that引导的从句说明的是promise的内容，因此是同位语从句，that在句中不作成分。
15. C 【解析】句意：是考试制度而不是教师们应为目前中学生们的沉重负担负责。rather than＂而不是＂，符合句意。other than除……以外；or rather更确切地说；more than不仅仅。

2. C 【解析】细节理解题。从文章最后一段第一句＂In 1945, thousands of tulip tulbs(郁金香球根), gifts from Holland, were planted on Ottawa’s Parliament Hill, Canada.＂可知介绍Holland的目的是引出郁金香节的由来，故选C。

V. 完形填空
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了屠夫Joe Biggs卖肉的故事。
1. C Joe Biggs是一名屠夫，和他父亲在肉店一起工作(work)多年了。故选C项。
2. B 亲65岁后就不在肉店工作了，就只剩下Joe一个人，所以他必须更加努力地工作。
3. A 根据文意可知，他一周工作5天半，周日关门，周六最忙，所以只能是周四一点钟开始关门，半天不营业。
4. D 根据文意可知，周日不营业，所以周六最忙。
5. B Joe肉店里的肉(meat)是从最近的城镇买来的。
6. C 根据文意，他步行、跑着和乘飞机买肉，都不符合逻辑，所以是开车去买肉。
7. D 根据文意，他早上很早就开车进城去买肉，就是为了买便宜的。本题易误选B，合格的肉都应该是新鲜的，所以B项错误。
8. A 根据情景可知，他的肉店应该有一个大冰箱，以防止肉变质。
9. A 根据文意可知，他有一个大的冰箱，所以他一次不买太多的肉，卖完后再进货。
10. C 参见上题解析。
11. A 根据文意可知，周四一点钟关门，正好一位妇女在一点差五分的时候来买肉，可以推知是在星期四。因为星期四一点钟关门。
17. C 句意：他走进肉店后的房间，打开冰箱。
18. B 句意：他再一次(again)把那块肉拿出来。
19. D 他把冰箱的门重重地关上，让外面的那位妇女听到声音，意思是说，他拿了一块新的肉。
20. A 结果那位妇女两块肉都要，both表示＂两者都＂。
VI. 语法填空
【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了简去买圣诞礼物的故事。
1. it it在宾语从句中作形式主语，真正的主语是to choose a suitable Christmas present for her father。
2. to please 此处用动词不定式在形容词后作目的状语。
3. delighted be delighted with为固定搭配，意为＂对……感到高兴＂。
4. a 此处用不定冠词修饰，表示＂一次愉快的经历＂。experience作＂经历＂理解，是可数名词。
5. pushed 由上文＂people stepped on your feet＂可知，此处需用一般过去时。
6. hurrying 此处用现在分词作目的状语。
7. where 引导定语从句，在从句中作地点状语,应用where。
8. choice 在形容词性物主代词后要用名词。
9. on on sale为固定搭配，意为＂廉价出售＂。
10. was informed 因Jane与inform是被动关系，文章时态又是一般过去时，故需用一般过去时的被动语态。
VII. 书面表达
