Driving in Canada is similar to driving in many parts of the United States.Distances and speeds,however,are posted in kilometres per hour and some signs,particularly in Quebec,may only be in French.
Unless otherwise posted,the maximum(最大限度的) speed limit in Canada is 50km/hr in cities and 80km/hr on highways.On rural highways,the posted speed limit may be 100km/hr.It is not allowed to take automobile radar detectors(汽车雷达检测器) into Quebec,Ontario,Manitoba,and the Yukon.Seat belt use is required by law for all passengers,and child car seats must be used by children under 40 pounds.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.Thus drivers should be alert while travelling here.
Please refer to our Road Safety page for more information and tips.Also,we suggest that you visit the website of Canada’s national authority responsible for road safety.

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。
Two billion children in the developing world can’t receive good education—the key to human development.However,technology offers an answer which allows the poor in developing countries to learn.It is a tool which holds the ability to change the lives of the poor,as it provides a means of learning and communicating.
Educational programmes must break away from old systems.New companies such as One Laptop(笔记本电脑)Per Child(OLPC),an organisation founded by MIT Professor Nicholas Negroponte have been active in solving the world’s education problem.
The Internet has changed the world,allowing educational services to help with the global fight against poverty.Khan Academy is one such service.Like OLPC,it is an organisation founded by Harvard Business School graduate Salman Khan with the task of “providing a world-class education to anyone,anywhere”.The education offered includes a large number of math-related topics.
The GMAT Pill Review is another company that trains MBA candidates(应考人)worldwide to prepare for the GMAT exam on both the Quant and Verbal section.Founded by Stanford graduate Zeke Lee,the company offers services which are priced at about 75% less than other similar programmes.It allows students from developing countries who might not be able to afford similar courses to have access to these services.
Whether paid or free these services provide educational opportunities to those who would never have had the chance in the past.As a result of the technology revolution(革新),business schools may see more students from different corners of the world.Because of the Internet,people in developing nations have access to better and more affordable educational opportunities.More and more people will try to improve their lives through educational opportunities outside of their homeland—an idea usually uncommon in developing countries.
1.According to the text,technology can .
A.improve people’s reading ability

The Panama Canal opened almost 100 years ago.It connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans and reduces travel by about 13,000 kilometers and avoids the need for ships to sail around Cape Horn at the bottom of South America.
Built from 1904 to 1914,the canal has seen annual traffic rise from about 1,000 ships early on to 14,702 ships in 2008.In total,over 815,000 ships have passed through the canal.It has been named one of the seven modern wonders of the world.More than forty ships pass through the canal each day.
Now,a major expansion(扩大) project will permit more ships and bigger ships to pass through the canal.Jorge Quijano,the Panama Canal’s executive vice president of engineering,says,“The present canal has a total capacity(容量) of about 340 million tons a year.With the expansion we expect to double that.”
For years,shipbuilders limited the size of many ships so that they could pass through the Panama Canal.But now many shipping companies use bigger ships to transport more goods as a way to reduce costs.Mr.Quijano says the expansion project will allow many of these larger ships to use the canal.
Workers are building the new locks(船闸) alongside the old ones,which will remain in use.The existing locks are 305 meters long and 33.5 meters wide.The new ones will be 427 meters long and 55 meters wide.They will be able to handle ships with drafts(吃水量) of more than 15 meters.At present,ships can ride only 12 meters deep in the canal.
Engineers could not make the new locks too big.Mr.Quijano says the plans have to balance the size of the locks with the cost for ships to use the canal.
The cost of the expansion is estimated at more than five billion dollars.The new locks are set to open in time to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Panama Canal.
1.We can learn from the first two paragraphs that .
A.the Panama Canal was built close to Cape Horn
B.it took ten years to complete the Panama Canal
C.the Panama Canal now sees a daily traffic of about 400 ships
D.the Panama Canal is one of the seven ancient wonders of the world
2.After the expansion of the Panama Canal, .
A.there will be no limitation to the size of ships through it
B.it will have a total capacity of 500 million tons a year
C.the cost of transporting goods will be relatively low
D.the charge for using the canal will be reduced
3.What do we know about the old locks?
A.They are still used.
B.They will be removed.
C.They have been replaced by the new ones.
D.Ships with drafts of 15 meters can pass through them.
4.Why not make the new locks too big?
A.Because they will cost too much.
B.Partly because of the cost for ships.
C.Because there are not so many workers.
D.Because engineers are against it.
5.What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A.To introduce the history of the Panama Canal.
B.To show the importance of the Panama Canal.
C.To report the expansion project of the Panama Canal.
D.To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Panama Canal.
