The bus is the most common form of urban transportation in Canada. To use public transportation，you must buy a ticket or a transit pass. Transit passes allow you unlimited use of public transportation for a specific period (one month or more). They are usually cheaper than buying many tickets if you plan to use public transportation often.Transportation for people with disabilitiesPublic transportation often has features to assist people with disabilities. In many cities and towns，there are also transportation services available specifically for people with limited mobility，such as specially equipped buses. You can find out about these services in the same way you would learn more about other public transportation options.Manners on public transportationWhen taking public transportation such as a bus or train，it is important to understand the unspoken rules of conduct in the shared space. Here are a few things to note：Be polite and respectful to others around you. For example, maintain an appropriate noise level when talking or making a phone call.If you are carrying a backpack or a large shoulder bag in a crowded public transit vehicle，keep it close to you，preferably at your feet to avoid hitting people with it as you walk by.Avoid pushing or touching others in order to make more room for yourself. Sometimes public transit can become very crowded，but it is important to keep calm and give others appropriate personal space.Have your proof of payment accessible in case you are asked to show it.21What is the advantage of using transit passes over buying tickets?ASafer trips. BLonger service hours.CMore use of transport. DLower costs.22How does the transportation system help people with disabilities?ABy offering fewer transportation options.BBy running special transport services.CBy limiting their mobility on city buses.DBy providing free rides in towns and cities.23What is considered impolite on public transportation?ALowering your speaking voice.BPlacing backpacks at your feet.CHaving your proof of payment at hand.DStaying close to other passengers.BMany people believe eating healthily is expensive and more costly than buying junk foods. But our new research, published in the BMC Public Health, shows this isnt the truth.Most of the Australian family food budget (预算) is being spent on junk foods and drinks that are high in fat, sugar and salt.Less than 7% of Australians eat healthily. The Australian adults get at least 35% of their energy from junk foods and drinks. As a result, two-thirds of adults (63%) and one-quarter of children are overweight.We used the Australian Health Survey 2020 and the suggestions of the Australian Dietary Guidelines to model healthy diets for a family of two adults and two children every two weeks. We collected food prices in supermarkets and stores in high- and low-socioeconomic (社会经济地位低的) areas in Brisbane, and compared the diet prices with family incomes.In both areas, a family of two adults and two children spend about 18% more on present diets than would be required to buy healthy diets. About 58% of the food budget for present diets is spent on junk foods, including takeaway foods (14%), and sugary drinks (4%). In the low-socioeconomic area, a family of two adults and two children spend $640.20 every two weeks on their present diets, but could buy a healthy diet for $560.93 every two weeks. In the high-socioeconomic area, these numbers are $661.92 and $580.01.Supermarket food prices were about 3% higher in the high-socioeconomic location. Takeaway foods were also relatively more expensive, but sugary drinks were priced similarly in both areas.Present diets cost more than healthy diets, so causes other than price must be helping to drive preferences for unhealthy choices.24. What did the researchers find?A. Australians have a preference for sweet foods.B. Most Australian kids have fat problems.C. Most Australians eat unhealthily.D. Half Australians live on junk foods.25. How did the researchers get the result?A. By doing the study online. B. By making a comparison.C. By carrying out interviews. D. By asking personal questions.26. What can we learn from Paragraph 5?A. A healthy diet is actually cheaper.B. Australian foods are healthier.C. Health foods are becoming more expensive.D. People choose junk foods for their low prices.27. What might a following paragraph be about?A. Why people choose junk foods. B. How we can eat healthily.C. The harm of junk foods. D. The advantages of a healthy diet.CMost people around the world are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B.C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed, so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the worlds population is left-handed.Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a persons two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain. The right side of the brain, which makes a persons hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left-side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born. However, this doesnt happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene(基因) for right-handedness, he / she may become either right-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with.Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no longer think left-handed people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they dont have to.28. After studying works of art made at different times in history, the scientists found _.A. the art began from 1,500 B.C.B. the works of art ended in the 1950sC. most people shown in the works of art are left-handedD. most people shown in the works of art are right-handed29. How many people in the world are left-handed now?A. More than a half B. Less than one sixthC. About 40 D. The passage doesnt tell us30. What is the hand for most people used to do?A. Its the centre for thinking and doing problems.B. Its used to work with things.C. Its used to make a persons eyes work together.D. Its used to find or hold things.31. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.B. No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed.C. Today children are not made to use their right hands only.D. Scientists think there must be some reason why people become left-handed.32. The best title for this passage is _.A. Scientists New Inventions B. Left-handed PeopleC. Different Brains, Different Hands D. Which HandDA black hole is created when a large star burns out. Like our sun, stars are unbelievably hot furnaces (熔炉) that burn their own matter as fuel. When most of the fuel is used up, the star begins to die.The death of a star is not a quiet event. First there is a huge explosion. As its outer layer is exploded off into space, the dying star shines as brightly as a billion suns.After the explosion gravity pulls in whats left of the star. As the outside of the star sinks toward the center, the star gets smaller and smaller.The material the star is made of becomes tightly packed together. A star is so dense(密集的) that a teaspoon of matter from it weighs billion of pounds.The more the star shrinks (缩小）, the stronger the gravity inside it becomes. Soon the star is very tiny, and the gravity pulling it in is unbelievably strong. In fact, the gravity is so strong that it even pulls light into the star! Since all the light is pulled in, none can go out. The star becomes black when there is no light. Then a black hole is born!Thats what we know about black holes. What we dont know is this: What happens inside a black hole after the star has been forced into a tiny ball? Does it keep getting smaller and smaller forever? Such a possibility is hard to imagine.But if the black hole doesnt keep shrinking, what happens to it? Some scientists think black holes are like doorways to another world. They say that as the star disappears from our universe, it goes into another universe. In other words a black hole in our universe could turn into a “white hole” in a different universe. As the black hole swallows light, the white hole shines brightlysomewhere else. But where? A different place, perhaps, or a different time many years in the past or future.Could you travel through a black hole? Right now, no. Nothing we know of could go into a black hole without being crushed（压碎）. So far the time being, black hole must remain a mystery.Black holes are a mysterybut that hasnt stopped scientists from dreaming about them. One scientist suggested that in the future we might make use of the power of black holes. They would supply all of Earths energy needs, with plenty to spare. Another scientist wondered if a black hole could some day be used to swallow earthly wastea sort of huge waste disposal(处理) in the sky!33. What happens when the star begins to die?A. there is no fuel left in it B. its outer layer goes into space firstC. it doesnt give off light any longer D. a huge explosion will happen34. Which of the following doesnt help produce a black hole?AThe gravity inside the star is very strong.BThe light cant go out of the star.CThe dying star shines very brightly.DThe star becomes smaller and smaller35.The black hole _.Acan pull in everything we know of in the worldBgoes into another universe and becomes a white holeCcontinues becoming smaller and smaller all the timeDwill appear at another place at a different time36. Whats the best title for this passage?AA New Scientific Discovery: Black HolesBHow Do Black Holes Come Into Being?CTravel Through A Black HoleDWhat Are Black Holes?第二节 七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。( 注意：E涂AB; F涂AC; G涂AD )How You Can Create Luck in Everyday LifeHaving a positive way allows you to create your own luck in everyday life.
