模块质量测评(三)　Module 3　Foreign Food (时间：90分钟　满分：110分) 　　　　　　　　　　　　　 第一部分　阅读理解(共两节；满分30分) 第一节　(共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。 A Ottawa is the capital of Canada. It is the second largest city in Ontario and the fourth largest city in the country. The Centre Block is the main building on Parliament Hill (国会山). It is also the location of several ceremonial spaces, such as the Hall of Honour and the Memorial Chamber. The present Centre Block is the second iteration of the building, after the first was destroyed by fire in 1916, and it is one of the most recognizable buildings in Canada. Downtown Ottawa is the commercial and economic centre of the city. Most of the buildings are office towers. While most of Ottawas high tech industry is based elsewhere, it has a significant presence in the downtown core. The downtown also contains a number of apartments, hotels, and the older single family homes and townhouses along its edges. The National Gallery of Canada is one of Canadas premier art galleries. The Gallery has a large and varied collection of paintings, drawings, sculpture, and photographs. Although its focus is on Canadian art, it also holds works by some noted American and European artists. The Rideau Canal is the oldest continuously operated canal system in North America. At the very beginning, the purpose of the Rideau Canal was military, as it was intended to provide a secure supply and communication route between Montreal and the British naval base in Kingston. It remains in use today primarily for pleasure boating, with most of its original structures remained. The locks on the system open for navigation in mid-May and close in mid-October. 语篇解读　本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了加拿大首都渥太华的一些特色景观。 1．What does the underlined word “iteration” probably mean in the second paragraph?
