【解析】

试题分析：加拿大是典型的移民国家。本文简要讲述加拿大的人口种族的历史变化。

1.C考查形容词辨析。A.famous“出名的”；B．well?known“出名的”；C．known“为人所知的”； D．news“新闻；消息”，而该句句意：“人们‘所知的’加拿大最早的居民是印第安人。”，故该题正确答案为C.

2.D考查介词辨析。A.through “从‘内部’通过/穿过”B．into“进入到…内部”；C．on“在…（的表面）上”； D．across“横穿”，根据该空后（介词的宾语）“the Bering Strait(白令海峡) and Sea”，所以该处句意应是：穿越白令海峡。故正确答案为D．

3.C考查副词辨析。该句句意为：“据说，10,000年前印第安人从东亚穿越白令海峡和大海来到此地。”，“10,000年前”：10,000 ago.故该空正确答案为C.

4.A考查动词（短语）辨析。该句句意：“当欧洲人第一次踏入加拿大时，…”根据语境可知，该处讲的是“到达”加拿大的人，所以排除B．left.根据常识可知，欧洲人来到加拿大时，还没飞机，故选项C.flew to错误。 ship：“用船运”，不符语境。故正确答案为A. reach (vt.)到达。

5.B考查非谓语动词。该处为非谓语作后置定语修饰“areas”，意为“被…覆盖的”：covered by…（表示被动），故正确答案为B．covered by.

6.D考查限定语。 根据语境可知，句意：“当欧洲人第一次到达加拿大时，印第安人都居住在被森林覆盖的地方。只有“一些”的印第安人在大西洋附近的省份居住。”，故正确答案为D．a few.注意尽管该处表示数量并不多，但也没到几乎没有的程度，故不能用few.

7.C考查谓语动词。因为该句主语为people，所以谓语用复数。又因为描述的是过去的事情，故正确答案为C．were.

8.A考查动词辨析。A.crossed“横穿”； B．walked“步行；走；散步”； C．passed“经过；通过；传递”； D．swam“游泳；游”，该句句意：“爱斯基摩人在两千多年、不到三千年之前，他们从亚洲穿越白令海峡（来到加拿大）。”故正确答案为A.

9.B考查名词辨析。A.notes“笔记”； B．records“记录，记载”； C．signs“记号，符号；招牌”； D．speeches“演讲”，该句句意：“很少有他们（当时）迁徙的记载。”故正确答案为B.

10.C考查名词辨析。根据下文“The French built their castles at Quebec City.”可知，从该空开始讲来到加拿大的法国人，故正确答案为 C．French.

11.考查介词短语。in great numbers:“大量地”，该句句意：“他们人数最多地涌入了魁北克和新斯科舍”故该题正确答案为D.numbers.

12.D考查定语从句。该空所填的关系词引导定语从句对先行词Nova Scotia进行修饰和限定，而先行词在定语从句作地点状语，所以选择关系副词where.即正确答案为D.

13.A考查介词。by the time of:“到…时候（为止）”，其修饰的动词一般为完成时。该句句意：“到1763年加拿大成为英国的殖民地时，已经有了大约六万的法国人在加拿大。”，故该题正确答案为A.By .

14.B考查非谓语。该句句子主干为there be句型，该空应将live非谓语化作非限制性定语。故正确答案为B．living （表示主动进行）。

15.C考查连词辨析。该句句意：“在加拿大的英国人并不多，直到美国独立战争驱使大量的英国人北迁。”，所以选择引导时间状语从句的连词 C．until

16.B考查数量表达。表示“数以千计的”（不确定的数量）：thousands of，故正确答案为B.

17.D考查介词辨析。该处表示“‘来自于’英格兰、苏格兰和爱尔兰 ”，故选用D．from.

18.A考查动词短语。该句句意：“这些来自于英格兰、苏格兰和爱尔兰的人的后裔目前构成了加拿大的一半人口。”make up:“构成，组成”，而B．be made of “由…组成的” （看得出原材料）C．be made from“由…组成的”（看不出原材料）D．be made by“被…制造”，故该题正确答案为A.

19.C考查名词辨析。“世纪之交”: the turn of the century，故该题正确答案为C.

20.A考查介词辨析。该句句意：“在世纪交替之际，从欧洲到加拿大的人数一直在增加。最多的人‘来自于’德国的中部和东部，捷克，波兰，罗马尼亚和乌克兰。”且come from:“来自于”，故该题正确答案为A.from.
