Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions .
Basic to any understanding of Canada in the 20 years after the Second World War is the
country's impressive population growth. For every three Canadians in 1945, there were over five
in 1966. In September 1966, Canada's population passed the 20 million mark. Most of this
accelerating growth came from natural increase. The depression of the 1930s and the war had
held back marriages, and the catching-up process began after 1945. The baby boom continued
through the decade of the1950s, producing a population increase of nearly fifteen percent in the
five years from 1951 to 1956. This rate of increase had been exceeded only once before in
Canada's history, in the decade before 1911 when the prairies were being settled. Undoubtedly,
the good economic conditions of the 1950s supported a growth in the population, but the
expansion also derived from a trend toward earlier marriages and an increase in the average size
of families. In 1957 the Canadian birth rate stood at 28 per thousand, one of the highest in the
world.
After the peak year of 1957, the birth rate in Canada began to decline. It continued falling
until in 1966 it stood at the lowest level in 25 years. Partly this decline reflected the low level of
births during the depression and the war, but it was also caused by changes in Canadian society.
Young people were staying at school longer; more women were working; young married couples
were buying automobiles or houses before starting families; rising living standards were cutting
down the size of families.
It appeared that Canada was once more falling in step with the trend toward smaller
families that had occurred all through the Western world since the time of the Industrial
Revolution. Although the growth in Canada's population had slowed down by 1966 (the increase
in the first half of the 1960's was only nine percent), another large population wave was coming
over the horizon. It would be composed of the children who were born during the period of the
high birth rate before 1957.
Question 32 :What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Educational changes in Canadian society B.Canada during the Second

_________.
A.population statistics were unreliable B. the population grew steadily
C. families were larger D. economic conditions
were bad
Question 35 :According to the passage, when did Canada's baby boom begin?
A. During the depression of the 1930s B. After 1945
C. In 1966 D. In the decade after 1911
