On rural highways, the posted speed limit may be 100km/hr. It is illegal to take automobile radar detectors (汽车雷达检测器) into Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, and the Yukon.

Some provinces require drivers to keep their vehicles headlights on during the day and some have banned (禁止) driving while using a hand-held cell phone. Motorcycles cannot share a lane (车道), and safety helmets for motorcycle riders and passengers are necessary. Running a red light is a serious crime throughout Canada and drivers are advised to stop before starting when a light turns green.Winter travel can be dangerous due to heavy snowfalls and icy conditions. Some roads and bridges are often closed in winter. Snow tires are required in some provinces. Travelers should also be careful about animals while driving at night in rural areas.Highway 401, from Detroit to Montreal, is one of the busiest highways in North America. It has been the scene of many deadly traffic accidents due to sudden and severe weather changes, high rates of speed, and heavy truck traffic.

The water diversion project consists of three 1,300-kilometre canals that will carry water from the Yangtze along the eastern, middle and western parts of the country.Zhang Jiyao,director of the state Concils office in charge of the South to North Project, told a national conference that ground will be broken in more places along two of the lines of the ambitious water diversion scheme,the largest of its kind in the world.Before next years flood season, construction of four new sections along the two lines will push the project further along the fast track. That would bring the total sections under construction to 13,since construction started in 2002 with an estimated investment of 124 billion yuan(about US $15 billion).When finished, the two water diversion canals will be capable of transferring 13.4 billion cubic meters of water a year.4Chinas largest water diversion project is being constructed to _.A supply water to Shandong ProvinceB remove the worsening water shortage in BeijingC alleviate the shortage of water in the NorthD break ground in more places5From the whole passage we can infer that _.A the water diversion project is the biggest in China,but not in the worldB the water diversion project is the largest both in China and in the worldC the project will cost 124 billion dollarsD the project will be finished by 20106When the project is finished, _.A it will solve the water problem once and for allB it will supply 13.4 billion cubic meters of water a yearC the shortage of water in the North will be alleviatedD the drought in Beijing and Shandong province will disappear7According to the passage, which one is TRUE?A The shortage of water in the North is only because there are too many people.B The whole project will be completed by the year 2010.C The total sections under construction will be 13 till the whole project is finished.D The whole water diversion project is made up of three canals.People in the United States honor their parents with two special days：Mothers Day，on the second Sunday in May，and Fathers Day，on the third Sunday in June.These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents.They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens.They give love and care.These two days offer an opportunity to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers.More mothers now work outside the home.More fathers must help with child care.These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mothers Day people wear carnations（康乃馨）.A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery. On these days families get together at home，as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Fathers Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents.These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important，but it is “the thought that counts.”Greeting card stores，florists，candy makers，bakeries，telephone companies，and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.8Which is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents？A Parents bring up childrenB Parents give love and care to childrenC Parents educate children to be good personsD Parents pass away before children grow up9What do you know from the passage？A Mothers Day and Fathers Day are both in May.B Fewer women worked outside the home in the past.C Not all the children respect their parents.D Fathers are not as important as mothers at home.10On Mothers Day and Fathers Day，_ .A people usually have family partiesB everyone goes to visit the cemeteryC children always go to parentshomeD hand-made cards are the most valuable gifts11What do you think “florists”do？A They sell flowers.B They make bread or pastry.C They offer enough room for having family parties.D They sell special clothes for Mothers Day and Fathers Day.Teaching is more than leadership. Some of the teachers time and effort are directed toward instruction, some toward evaluation. But it is the teacher as a group leader who creates an effective organizational structure and good working environment so that instruction and evaluation activities can take place. A group that is totally disorganized, unclear about its goal . or constantly fighting among its members will not be a good learning group. The pattern includes helping to form and maintain a positive learning environment so that instruction and evaluation activities can take place.On the first day of class, the teacher faces a room filled with individuals (个体 ). Perhaps a few closely united groups and friendships already exist. But there is no sense of group unity, no set of rules for conduct in the group , no feeling of belonging. If teachers are successful leaders, they will help students develop a system of relationships that encourages working together.Standards and rules must be set to keep order, make sure of justice and protect individual rights, but do not contradict(相悖) school policy. What happens when one student hurts anothers individual rights? Without clear regulations agreeable to the students and teachers, the classroom can become chaotic,(混乱的). Students may break rules they did not know existed. If standards are set without participation from the class, students may spend a great deal of creative energy in destroying the class environment or finding ways to break rules.No matter how skillful the teacher is in uniting students and creating a positive atmosphere, the task is never complete. Regular maintenance(维持) is necessary. Conflicts arise. The needs of individual members change. A new kind of learning task requires a new or organizational structure. Sometimes outside pressures such as holidays, upcoming tests or sport competitions, or family troubles cause stress in the classroom. One task for the teacher is to recreate a positive environment by helping students deal with conflict , change, and stress.12The underlined word “maintain in Paragraph l probably meansA keep B buildC recreate D evaluate13According to the author, the teacher should .A free students from outside pressuresB set the standards and rules on his ownC be responsible for a well-organized classD focus more on instruction and evaluation14From the passage we can lean that .A rules cannot be changed once theyre formedB outside pressures may not cause tension among studentsC if the teacher well units his students, he then will finish his taskD if rules are not acceptable both to students and teachers, the classroom can be a mess15What is the authors main purpose of writing the passage?A To provide information for teaching.B To show the importance of teaching a class.C To study the teachers behavior in the classroom.D To compare the teachers behavior with the students in class.English can be a difficult language to learn, but there are certain things you can do to learn the language a lot faster. People can master English as long as they take the time to practice speaking, reading and writing in English.16Start by taking a class that teaches beginning English. These classes are often named as “ESL” classes, or “English as a Second Language.”17Buy an English audio(音频的) course. You can go over these classes in your spare time and learn quite a bit.
