The word "Canada" means "village, small house or shanty". In 1435, the French explorer Katie arrived in the land and asked the Indian of the name of the place, the cacique said "Canada" indicating the village nearby. Katie misunderstood it as the name of the whole area, so the place was named Canada from that time.
Canada covers 9,984,670 sq. kilometers, standing the second place in the world. Canada occupies the north part of the North America (except the Alaska Island and the Greenland Island). It faces the Atlantic in the east, close to the Pacific Ocean in the west, bordering America in the south, with the Arctic Ocean to its north. Up till 2002, Canada has got a population of 31,499,500 people.
The earliest inhabitants in Canada were the Indian and the Inuit. From the 17th century, the English and the French colonialists invaded the place and founded the colony. In the "Seven-Year War" between the English and the French which occurred in Canada, the French lost, and therefore ceded the colony to the English. On July 1 of 1867, the English parliament passed the British North America Act, which combined Canada province, New Brunswick and New Sceshir into a commonwealth and granted Canada a self-ruled area. In the March of 1982, the Upper House and The Common House passed the Canada Constitution Bill and the Queen conformed. The bill took effect in April, and Canada got all the power of the legislation. So the Canadian people regard the July 1 of 1867 as the Independence Day, also the National Day.
Ottawa, the capital of Canada, is called "Jack Frost city". Tile Ottawa River flows from west to east and divides the city into two parts--south and north. Ottawa is the fourth large city in Canada and is the hub of the traffic in water, land and air. Ottawa boasts rich water resources and mainly depends on light industry which includes paper making, lumber machining, foodstuff and mechanism manufacturing.
Canada has not an integrated constitution until now; its law consists of mostly the constitution acts which were passed in various periods. Canada carries out the commonwealth parliament system. The national monarch is the English Queen, and the Viceroy charges the administration of the country in her honor. The government follows Cabinet system and carries out institution consisting of the Party that occupies most seats in the House of Representatives; the leader is regarded as the premier who leads the Cabinet. [br] Who gave the name "Canada" to the country?
选项
A、The cacique.
B、Katie.
C、The villager.
D、The Indian.
答案
B
解析
事实细节题。本题的答案可以在第一段找到:“加拿大”,意指附近的村落。卡蒂埃误以为是指整个地区,从此便称此地为加拿大。所以可以理解为Katie误打误撞地给加拿大起了这个名字。
