Only a few people in Toronto have the luck to live within walking distance from their workplace.For the rest of us, commuting (乘车上下班) is a rather unpleasant daily necessity.So how do you avoid a traffic jam in Toronto? You can do it in the old way and listen to one of the radio stations that give regular updates about the traffic situation in Toronto’s streets.Seeing the big picture of Toronto’s traffic and knowing when and where heavy traffic occurs is a must.From my own experience, there are situations where a quick decision can help you make it in time for an event ora meeting.That’s why we prepared three short videos showing the overall traffic situation in Toronto from dawn to night.You can click them and watch.With the help of “Google Maps”, where you can watch the live traffic density all over the world and average traffic data based on past conditions, we were able to provide you with traffic maps for a typical (平常的) Friday.Friday traffic in Toronto is quite fast in the early morning,with only a few hot spots showing up at the major junctions (交叉点) at 7:00 am.The morning traffic jam starts light at 7:30 and the traffic gradually slows down to reach a breaking point at 8:30.The roads are quite free afterwards, only Allen Road is likely to be jammed around lunchtime from 11 : 30 am to 12:00 noon.It comes as no surprise that Friday afternoon brings heavy traffic as early as 1:00 pm, mainly on the Don Valley Parkway.You won’t have a good time getting away from the city from 4:00 pm to 6:30 pm, as there is a good chance to get caught in a traffic jam.The traffic in Toronto is quite heavy on a Friday night.I hope you will have a nice Friday night in the city and a safe journey home this Friday!1.By saying “commuting is a rather unpleasant daily necessity”,the writer refers to the fact that ________.A.buses are usually very crowdedB.they are often stuck in traffic jamsC.they have to travel a long way to workD.they usually cannot do anything on the way to work2.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.What the traffic in Toronto is like for a typical Friday.B.How to avoid heavy traffic on Fridays.C.Why the traffic is terrible on Fridays.D.What “Google Maps” can do for us.3.In Toronto, on Fridays you are most likely to suffer heavy traffic ________.A.from 6:30 am to 7:00 amB.from 8:30 am to 9:30 amC.from 10:30 am to 11:00 amD.from 4:00 pm to 6:30 pm4.Where is this passage taken from?A.A TV program.B.A radio program.C.A website.D.A travel booklet.6. Do you want a bit of an adventure? Would you like to discover all the comers of the UK, or travel abroad? Maybe you have never tried the motorhome lifestyle before. Well, read this article and you will know why a motorhome is a good choice.Nothing is better than a motorhome. It has so many uses that it is considered the most versatile vehicle and it is also very comfortable. If you are thinking about hiring a motorhome this summer,then the best choice is to book it early,especially if you are considering the school holidays. The motorhome hire service is veryseasonal and motorhome hire companies will never have extra vehicles available in the summer months.There are a lot of companies throughout the UK, and some of the big ones have motorhomes spread all over the country. At present,the largest network for motorhome hire is provided by Motorhome which is based in Cambridge. If you are in the UK, you may phone 0800612 - 8719 for details of its motorhome hire information. Motorhome has a network of over 500 vehicles all over England, Scotland and Wales.Most people wishing to hire a motorhome are families that are looking for an alternative to a European package holiday, especially as flying now has become more expensive, and is considered to be environmentally unfriendly. There is no doubt that the idea of no-fly holidays is going to become more popular as fewer people think it is safe to fly. This explains why more and more people are choosing to hirea motorhome for their holidays.1.The main purpose of this text is to explain why it is a good ideato .A.take an adventureB.travel to EnglandC.try a new lifestyleD.hire a motorhome2.What does the underlined word “versatile ” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Fast.B.Safe.eful.D.xciting.3.Why should you book a motorhome early if you want to book one for this summer?A.Booking early is much cheaper.B.Summer is usually a very busy season.C.You can arrange your time better this way.D.Students usually book them to earn money.4.The last paragraph tells us the advantages of hiring a motorhomeby .A.telling us a storyB.giving detailed dataparing it with flyingD.showing the results of a study7.

RENTAL CARS(租车)Driving in Singapore is a pleasure and if you like to travel at your own pace,renting a car is a good choice.Renting takes away the hassle of getting to places around Singapore.Just sit back and enjoy the city.It also means you’ll get to see a lot more that a train or a bus won’t let you see.For car rental?call Avis at 65-6737-1668.1.With an EZ-Link card,you can take__________.A.only trainsB.both buses and trainsC.only rental carsD.both buses and taxis2.If you need the bus service,you had better call_________.A.6552-1111B.1800-767-4333C.6552-2222D.65-6737-16683.What does the underlined word “hassle”in the last paragraph mea n probably?A.Trouble.B.Fun.C.Scene.D.Cost.4.What do we know about traveling in Singapore from the text?A.A foreigner has no trouble finding his way around.B.It’s much cheaper to go around by bus than by train.C.To see a lot in Singapore we have to rent a car.D.It’s very easy for visitors to travel in Singapore.8. Disney World is a very popular attraction. But going there can be costly. Here are some suggestions that can help you save money.Instead of eating at the park, get premade food from a nearby grocery store or even make your own lunch. Also, make sure to take your own water with you because spending $3 on water will make your stomach hurt. Another idea is to pack snacks or quick and cheap pick-me-ups as you make your way around the park.Of course you’re going to want to take some Disney souvenirs home with you, but you’ll quickly realize that it comes with a price. Before buying anything, make sure you have a plan. Some suggestions for keeping costs down include picking your own pearl at the Japan store at Epcot, which is all about the experience and only $15.95 plus tax, or even getting special tradable collection pin that you can trade with Disney cast members or other guests.When you go to Disney World on rainy days, you may catch a lot of showers. But you don’t have to. Go to a local Dollar Tree and buy disposable ponchos(一次性雨披)for $1. The ponchos at Disney are probably more durable(耐用的), but they cost $9. For a family of five, the Disney ponchos would cost $45 versus spending $5 at the dollar store.It costs $17 to park in Disney for a day. Luckily, most non-Disney resorts offer free shuttles(来往的班车)to and from the park and all Disney resorts offer free transportation for guests as well. If you like to be on your own schedule without worrying about when the shuttle comes, then parking is your only choice. But waiting for the shuttle and going by a schedule isn’t really difficult, either.1.According to the author, if you want to eat at Disney World, you can ________.A.just take pick-me-ups to save moneyB.get premade food at Disney WorldC.avoid food that stimulates your appetiteD.prepare food before entering the park2.What does the author think of buying pearl at the Japan store at Epcot?A.It can be a terrible experience.B.It enables one to get pearl at a reasonable price.C.It’s a good way to find a tradable collection.D.It’s the best way to get Disney souvenirs.3.If you buy four ponchos at a local Dollar tree instead of at Disney, you can save ________.A.$32B.$36C.$40D.$454.The author thinks it is advisable to ________.A.park in Disney World for a dayB.avoid going to Disney World on rainy dayse more durable ponchos at Disney Worlde transportation offered by the resorts9. Situated in the southeast part of California, Death Valley covers an area of more than 3.3 million acres, even larger than the famous Yellowstone National Park.Death Valley is a land of extremes. It is one of the hottest places on the surface of the earth. The highest groun d temperature ever recorded was 93. 90℃ on July 15, 1972. It is the driest place in North America with an average rainfall of only l.96 inches a year. Death Valley also boasts the lowest point in the western hemisphere-Bad-water, at 85. 95 meters below sea level.Death Valley got its name in 1849, when a group of emigrants were looking for a shortcut to the gold field of California. They were given bad advice and went into the valley. Some of them were killed by the bad weather and harsh road. When the rest finally walked out, they gavethe area its name by saying to it "Good-bye, Death Valley".As the name might suggest, there is very little apparent vegetation within Death Valley. First impressions, however, can be deceiving. Death Valley includes more than 1000 species ofplants that have adapted to the harsh conditions.Death Valley is also a land of beauties. Sunrise and sunset are two of the most spectacular attractions. Depending on different angles, they show many of the area's different moods.For the best viewing, plan to be there approximately one hour before sunset or before sunrise.Death Valley National Park is open all year round.

All green road signs indicate a highway or autobahn, blue signs are secondary roads and white signs back roads.*LimitationThe speed limit is 120 km/h (74 mph) on the autobahn, 80 km/h (50 mph) on secondary roads outside of towns and 50 km/h (30 mph) in towns if not indicated differently.

Seat belts are compulsory for front and rear-seat passengers. The legal blood alcohol limit is 0.08 .*Getting throughFor travelers with motor-homes, it's good that even large motor-homes can travel through the mountain passes. The roads are well maintained and large enough even for trucks. Remember, Switzerland is a very small Country (ca. 250x400 km) and you can easily drive from one end to another in 3 - 5 hours if you stick to the highways. If you plan to travel to Switzerland by car, take your time, you can plan to see lots of places in a short amount of time. Plan to drive for diving's sake, and try to minimally constrain yourself with time-related issues.The mountain resort towns of Braunwald, Murren, Wengen and Zermatt cannot be reached directly by private motor vehicle. Park at the railway or sky tram station and complete the journey via public transport. Trams always have priority. Buses have priority when leaving a bus stop.

高考英语备考:主题语境---交通与旅游

高考英语备考:主题语境---交通与旅游Ⅰ. 阅读理解For many years,Bruce Bexler dreamed of going where no human had gone before. He wanted to cut a path through unexplored lands and discover rare,exotic species.That might sound like an impossible dream,but Bexler turned it into a reality.In December 2015,he and a team of Australian and American scientists ventured into an isolated tropical rainforest on the island of New Guinea. They were the first people ever to enter the mist covered region. “As time was limit ed,we were dropped in by helicopter. Once we were on the ground,there were no trails anywhere; it was really hard to get around,” Bexler says.Within minutes of landing,the team spotted a black chicken like bird with strange orange skin hanging from its neck. The scientists soon determined that the unusual creature was a type of honeyeaters—the first new bird species to be sighted on New Guinea in 60 years.The honeyeater wasn’t the only surprise for the scientists. They discovered more than 40 previously unknown plant and animal species—13 birds of paradise,20 frogs,four butterflies,and five palms. “We were like kids in a candy store,” Bexler recalls. “Everywhere we looked,we saw amazing things we had never seen before.”The newfound species didn’t s hy away from the scientists. Two long nosed echidnas—primitive egg laying mammals—let the visitors pick them up and take them back to camp to study them. An echidna looks like a hedgehog and is also called a spiny anteater.Bexler thinks the animals weren’t scared because they had never seen humans before. “In almost all parts of New Guinea,animals are hunted for food,and because of this,they are very cautious about people,” he explains. “This area gives scientists a place where they can go to study the behaviors of animals that have not yet learned to be afraid of people.”Scientists believe the area is probably the largest untouched forest in Asia. Local people called Kwerba hunt and collect plants from the outer edges of the forest but told Bexler that even their ancestors had not gone so far into the woods. The wooded area is approximately a 10day walk from the nearest village.Bexler and his team did not have enough time during the expedition to study the area completely. They hope to return and expect to record many more undiscovered species. “We just scratched the surface,” Bexler says. “Anyone who goes there will come back with a mystery.”1. Which word best describes Bruce Bexler?A. Adventurous.B. Cautious.C. Optimistic.D. Careful.2. What does Bruce Bexler mean by saying “We were like kids in a candy store”?A. They didn’t have enough food and were hungry.B. They were very excited about what they saw.C. They were misbehaving like naughty children.D. They knew that if they kept searching,the y’d find sugar in the forest.3. Why did some of the animals allow the scientists to pick them up?A. The scientists seemed to be very friendly.B. The scientists were skilled in handling animals.C. The animals had been well-trained by the local people.D. The animals had no experience or fear of people.4. What can we conclude about the area Bruce Bexler explored?A. The best way to explore the area is by helicopter.B. The locals live in the Centre of the forest.C. The area still contains many plants and animals unknown to science.D. The locals are unwilling to allow the scientists to enter the deep woods.Ⅱ. 完形填空I was about to get on a plane after a trip.

I had to ask the flight attendant if I could 3 my seat. Trying to be helpful,she asked if I was willing to sit in an exit row. “Yes,sure!” I 4 responded,fullof hope.

I was filled with so much 6 that I was ready to get up and argue with her. I wondered how she could 7 me and then go to help others. I was about to shout at her,8 my good sense won. For that belief moment,I tried to comfort myself. “If you are impatient,you’ll make a 9 of yourself.” Then though I w as still annoyed,I managed to 10 .With about 5 minutes to board,when I was worried about how to keep my baggage,the attendant handed a new ticket to me. “Is this for the 11 seat?” I asked. “No,it isn’t,” she responded. “Once in a while I’m able to do this and I’m glad it has 12 this time.” I glanced down—business class,Seat 2F—no charge!I was very grateful for that and I felt relieved that I had 13 my anger.

The sign is not written in Korean or English; it is written in Chinese.These signs, and signs in other countries warning Chinese tourists about their behavior, have shamed many Chinese who worry about the image of the country.Over 70 million Chinese tourists made overseas trips last year and spent $102 billion, more than the $84 billion spent by American and German tourists. For many Chinese tourists, it was their first trip abroad and they didn't know about foreign ways. And some of these tourists took their bad habits from China with them.Wang Yang, a Chinese deputy prime minister (国务院副总理), said, "They (the tourists) speak loudly in public, carve words or numbers on tourist attractions, cross the road when the traffic lights are still red and spit anywhere. It damages(毁坏) the image of the Chinese people and has a very bad influence."Before you travel to a foreign country, it's important to learn some things about the country and its culture. You are guests in the country and it's important to respect(尊重) your hosts. As more and more Chinese visit foreign countries, their behavior will certainly change and those shameful signs will, hopefully, disappear.1. The sign at a Korean university is written in .A. ChineseB. EnglishC. Korean2. How do many Chinese feel about the signs?A. Proud.B. Interested.C. Shameful.3. The underlined word "image" probably means " " in Chinese.A. 形象B. 热情C. 财富4. The passage is written to .A. order the Korean university to clean up signs with Chinese wordsB. advise the overseas Chinese tourists to change their behaviorC. ask Chinese people not to spend too much money traveling abroad5. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Signs Shame Overseas Chinese TouristsB. Foreign Culture Makes Bad InfluenceC. Foreign Countries Attract Chinese TouristsBThere are several ways you can find out about the countries and places you wish to visit. You can talk to friends who have traveled to the places, you can go and see a colour film about them, or you can read a travel book.It seems that there are three kinds of travel books. The first are those that give a personal, subjective(主观的) idea of travels which their writer has got himself. These books can be useful if the writers share their traveling experiences with others. The second kind are those books which give objective(客观的) information of things to be done and seen. If a cultured person has written such a book about the facts of a place, then it is more useful. The third kind are those books which are called "a guide" to some place or other. If they are good, they will describe and explain the place in detail. Like the first kind , they can be interesting and exciting, but their main purpose is to help the reader plan his travel in the most practical way.Whatever kind of travel book you choose, you must make sure that the book does not describe everything as interesting, exciting or fantastic. You must also keep an open eyes on its date of publication(出版) because travel is very practical matter and many things change quickly in the 21st century. Finally, you should make sure that it's easy to find the useful information for you travel.6. The passage was written to introduce .A. travel mapsB. travel booksC. travel filmsD. travel places7. The writer of the first kind of travel books gave his ideas after he .A. traveledB. read booksC. a lot of experienceD. surfed the Internet8. The underlined phrase "a cultured person" means a person with .A. a good appearanceB. a good educationC. a lot of experienceD. a lot of money9. The date of publication must be noticed because .A. the prices of travel books may be differentB. the writers of travel books may be differentC. the information in travel books is always the sameD. the information in travel books is always changing10. According to the passage, it is best to read before traveling to a place of interest.A. the first kind of travel booksB. the second kind of travel booksC. the third kind of travel booksD. some travel articles in newspaperCA city in California has got some new buses. They cost $490,000 each. The new buses are different from the old ones. These new buses are better for the environment. They are called hybrid(混合动力的) buses. They run on diesel(柴油的) and electric power. This will help keep the air cleaner. The man drove the new bus on Wednesday and noticed a difference right away. "I get to have clean air for a change", said driver Melvin Day, "I'm smelling diesel all day long when I drive the old ones."The company that builds the buses had many good things to say about them. For example, they said they use a lot less fuel(燃料). They also said that they are 90% cleaner for the environment. The buses are very quiet, too.The buses have a diesel engine in the back and batteries(电池) on top. When the engine starts up, it is powered by electricity. Then the diesel power takes over.Over time the city would like to use the new hybrid buses instead of all 50 of their buses. They hope to do this over the next three years. The city will give money to help buy the new kind of buses. One other bit of good news: The price of the bus ticket will not rise because of the new buses.11. Why are the new buses better for the environment?A. Because they're cheaper than the old ones.B. Because they are very quiet.C. Because they run on diesel and electric power.D. Because they are new.12. Which one is NOT TRUE about the new buses?A. They use a lot less fuel.B. They can drive faster than the old ones.C. They will help keep the air cleaner.D.

The new buses don't use fuel at all.C. The city will replace the old buses in a year.D. The price of bus ticket will be high.15. What is the best title for the article?A. The New CarsB. Electric BusesC. The Advantages of Old BusesD. Buying New BusesDMany Americans have been leaving their cars at home and riding to work on bicycles. Andy Clark is the leader of the League of American Bicyclists. His group supports bicycling for fun, fitness and transportation.Clark says this is good news for the environment. He says riding a bicycle to work does not burn fossil fuel or creates dangerous pollution. Experts say the effects are the most important on short trips. Shorter car trips give out more pollution into the air for each kilometer drive. This is because the car engine will give out the harmful gas when it warms up before it can work well.James, a member of Congress, is a strong supporter of bicycle use. He says cities, counties, state governments and state highway transportation agencies are planning the roadways of the future. They are creating roads and paths for bicycles in cities between communities.Portland, the Pacific Northwest city in the state of Oregon, had the highest percentage of bicycle users in United States. Portland has been doing progressive city planning for many years to create special paths for bike riders.16. What is happening in America according to the news?A. Many Americans have lost jobsB. Many Americans prefer short tripsC. There are more and more bicyclists nowD. The pollution is getting worse and worse17. What is the closest meaning t o the underlined word “harmful” in the second paragraph?A. CleanB. BadC. WarmD. Dry18. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Many Americans like bike-riding for funB. Short car trips can reduce pollutionC. American government doesn't allow people to ride bicyclesD. Many Americans ride bicycles to support environment protection19. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Clark's group thinks bicycling is good for healthB. James strongly supports bicycle useC. Portland is one of the states in the USAD. Portland is planning to create special paths for bike riders20. Where can we read it possibly?A. From a websiteB. From a posterC. From a novelD. From an advertisement二、阅读与表达(混合式)(共5小题;共5分)A kind of small car may someday take the place of big ones. They will be popular. The car is as small as a bike. It can carry two people in it.If everyone drives such a car in the future, there will be less pollution in the air. There will also be more space for cars and people in cities. Three such cars can fit in the space now needed for one car of the usual size.These small cars will cost much less to drive. They can only go 65 kilometers an hour, so driving will be safer, too. You can drive these cars to go around the city, but you'd better not use them for a long trip.This kind of car can save a lot of gasoline(汽油). They can go 450 kilometers if they are filled up (加满油).21. 判断正(T)误(F)The more small cars people drive, the more pollution there will be in the air.22. This kind of car can be as small as .23. How fast does this car go per hour?24. Can the small cars save much gasoline?25. 将画线句子译成汉语。

高考英语阅读与写作话题拓展——旅游与交通

高考英语阅读与写作话题拓展——旅游与交通Ⅰ.阅读理解AWhy does most of the world travel on the right side today? Theories differ,but there’s no doubt that Napoleon was a major influence.The French have used the right since at least the late 18th century.Some say that before the French Revolution,noblemen drove their carriages on the left,forcing the peasants to the right.Regardless of the origin,Napoleon brought right-hand traffic to the nations he conquered,including Russia,Switzerland and Germany.Hitler,in turn,ordered right-hand traffic in Czechoslovakia and Austria in the 1930s.Nations that escaped right-hand control,like Great Britain,followed their left-hand tradition.The U.S.has not always been a nation of right-hand drivers;earlier in its history,carriage and horse traffic travelled on the left,as it did in England.But by the late 1700s,people driving large wagons pulled by several pairs of horses began promoting a shift(改变) to the right.A driver would sit on the rear(后面的) left horse in order to wave his whip(鞭子) with his right hand;to see opposite traffic clearly,they travelled on the right.One of the final moves to firmly standardize traffic directions in the U.S.occurred in the 20th century,when Henry Ford decided to mass-produce his cars with controls on the left(one reason,stated in 1908: the convenience for passengers exiting directly onto the edge,especially... if there is a lady to be considered).Once these rules were set,many countries eventually adjusted to the right-hand standard,including Canada in the 1920s,Sweden in 1967 and Burma in 1970.The U.K.and former colonies such as Australia and India are among the Western world’s few remaining holdouts(坚持不变者).Several Asian nations,including Japan,use the left as well—though many places use both right-hand-drive and left-hand-drive cars.语篇解读:文章主要解释了为什么世界上有的国家靠右行驶,有的国家靠左行驶。
