17、anka CMany economists argue that Canada could have developed economically with little facilitation of the settlers. But in my opinion the settlers were vital in the countrys development of economy. Settlers in Canadian history provided labour force that was apparently lacking in the country. Due to
18、the thriving timber (木材) industry that led to the arrival of foreigners, the local population could barely satisfy the international demand. Emery and Kenneth claimed that the settlers who came to Canada as mere loggers had an impact in the development of the economy. Indeed, the settlers helped the
19、 production of more volumes of timber leading to increase in incomes for the government. Settlers created considerable storage facilities for fishing. It is through these preservation technologies that the country was able to exploit its rich fish industry and increase its exports. Fishing technolog
20、y improved greatly with many technologies of deep sea fishing. The technologies that came with the settlers increased the trading potential of the country, which in turn increase the incomes for government. The success of settlers who ventured in agriculture ended into increased urge by locals and t
21、he government to invest in agriculture. In Ontario, settlers began planting such plants as corn, vegetables and reared dairy cattle. In the Prairies, the settlers also invested in grain growing with wheat being the most profitable crop. Canadian settlers also led to changes in social and economic po
22、licies of the land. Due to increased immigration, land became a debatable issue where many people did not access land in a fair manner. The Canadian authorities came up with a wise land policy. Settlers could buy large amount of land cheaply and later resell the lands at a proper profit. This increa
23、sed the ability of the country to increase its agricultural profits by having a superior land system. 27. Which contribution of the settlers in Canada is not covered in the passage? A. Timber industry B. Fishing industry. C. Agriculture. D. Tourism. 28. Why is Emery and Kenneths claim mentioned in t
24、he text? A. To give evidence of the lack of local population in history. B. To tell readers that the settlers were only common loggers. C. To prove what an important role settlers played in Canadian economy. D. To state that the thriving timber industry led to the arrival of foreigners. 29. What can
25、 we know from the underlined sentence? A. Canadian government urged settlers more invest in agriculture. B. Settlers success made the people and the government angry. C. Canadian government got inspiration from settlers success in agriculture. D. To succeed in agricultural venture, settler had to co
26、operate with government. 30. The last paragraph centers on settlers contribution to _. A. the reform of land policies B. the increase of immigration C. increasing amount of land D. their creation of a superior land system 二、七选五Canada is home to many diverse cultures and people from across the world.
