Urban Transportation in Canada
Public transportation & Transit passes
All cities and most major towns in Canada have a public transportation system with one or more modes of transportation (bus, subway, train, etc.). The bus is the most common form of urban transportation in Canada. To use public transportation, you must purchase 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 disabilities
Public 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.
Etiquette on public transportation
When 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.
21. What is the advantage of using transit passes over buying tickets?
A. Safer trips. C. Lower costs. B. Longer service hours. D. More use of transport.
22. How does the transportation system help people with disabilities?
A. By running special transport services. B. By offering fewer transportation options. C. By limiting their mobility on city buses. D. By providing free rides in towns and cities.

23. What is considered impolite on public transportation?
A. Lowering your speaking voice. B. Placing backpacks at your feet. C. Staying close to other passengers.
D. Having your proof of payment at hand.
解析: 21.C 根据题干中transit passes over buying tickets定位到文章第一段的最后一句“they are
usually cheaper than buying many tickets if you plan to use public transportation often.”可知答
案应选C。
22.A 根据题干中disabilities 定位到文章第二段的第二句“in many cities and towns, there
are also transportation services available specifically for people with limited mobility.”可知答
案应选A。
23.C 根据题干中impolite可以定位到文章中第三段的第三个要点中“but it is important to
keep calm and give others appropriate personal space.”可知答案应选C。这个题目需要注意
题干问的是不礼貌的行为,文章中描述的是礼貌行为。因此选择时注意思路的转换。
B
Today we talk about a time when half the world is waking from the dark, cold winter months. Spring! We often describe “spring” as a time of rebirth, renewal and awakening. Many trees are blossoming and early flowers are pushing through the earth. Things are coming to life!
But the word “spring” is not just a season. It is also a verb that means something going on or coming out quickly. When you put “spring” and “life” together, you will get “spring to life”. This expression means something suddenly becomes very active or perhaps seems more alive! You may “spring to life” after hearing that a distant friend will be visiting you. Or maybe your favorite soccer team finally “sprang to life” in the second half, played well and won the match.
Now, besides being a season and a verb the noun “spring” refers to a metal coil(线圈)that is wound tightly. When the coil unwinds, it often jumps. So, we often say a person “has a spring in his step” if he is lively and active. He might even appear to jump, or bounce a little when he walks.
There is another way we use “spring” as a description. In the case of a “spring chicken”, “spring” means young. However, “spring chicken” is also an informal, humorous way to refer to someone who isn’t young at all. So, we use this expression in the negative form, as in “no spring chicken”. For example, let’s say you know an 85-year-old man who decides to run a marathon, even though he has never exercised before. You could say, “That’s amazing! After all, he’s no spring chicken.”

But be careful when using this expression. It could be a little disrespectful. Let's say your boss shows you a picture of his wife, and you say, “Wow, she’s no spring chicken.” That response would be disrespectful and a bad career move.
24. What does “spring” mean in the expression “spring to life”? A. The season after winter. B. Being young and healthy. C. A tightly wound metal coil. D. To occur or appear quickly. 25. What is the passage mainly about? A. The origin of the word “spring”. B. The meaning of the season “spring”. C. Some expressions with the word “spring”. D. Some characteristics of the season “spring”.
26. How does someone feel when he “has a spring in his step”? A. Angry C. Happy
B. Surprised D. Frightened
27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Being young is a great advantage in career development. B. Women may feel offended when described as “no spring chicken”. C. Using “spring-related” expressions in conversations seems impolite. D. Expressions with the word “ spring” are always disrespectful to others.
24. 选D。解析:此题属于细节理解题,根据题干关键词spring to life可以定位到文章第二段,“When you put “spring” and “life” together, you will get “spring to life”. This expression means something suddenly becomes very active or perhaps seems more alive!”,其中this expression means后面就是本题答案,所以选择同义转述D。 25. 选C。解析:本题考查文章主旨大意,根据文章首段可知有关“spring”,结合后面几个段落可知所讲的是跟spring有关的表达方式,故此题选择C。 26. 选C。解析:本题考查细节推断,根据题干可定位到文章第三段“When the coil unwinds, it often jumps. So, we often say a person “has a spring in his step” if he is lively and active.”可知此短语是来描述一个人比较活跃和积极的心情,故选择C。 27.选B。解析:此题属于推理判断题,可以利用排除法来分析选项。最后一段提到“Let's say your boss shows you a picture of his wife, and you say, “Wow, she’s no spring chicken.” That response would be disrespectful and a
第 3 页 共 13 页
bad career move.”,可知用“no spring chicken”这个表达会显示出对女性的不尊重,故选B。 C
More than 90 years has passed since Hollywood’s official film organization first proposed plans to build its own museum. Those plans are finally becoming a reality, with the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures set to open in 2019.
The project is underway at the site of a historic Los Angeles department store built in 1939. Museum officials say visitors will be able to “experience the magic of cinema” by learning about all parts of the film-making process.
Film historian Kerry Brougher has been named directors of the museum. Brougher says the museum will include 12 million photographs and 80, 000 screenplays as well as props(道具), costumes and other objects from famous films. The Academy Museum will also feature Oscar statuettes(小雕像)donated by actors who won the awards.
Brougher says the museum is designed to make visitors feel like they are in a movie, too, with many interactive experiences. “You won’t necessarily know what’s coming next,” he adds. “You’ll be in environments sometimes that make you feel like you’ve gone back to the past and that you’re in the area that you’re actually exploring.” He adds that visitors may even get the chance to walk down a red carpet and accept their own Academy Award.
Currently, Hollywood only has a few possibilities for visitors. They can go along the Walk of Fame and visit movie studios or see the Dolby Theater, where the Oscars are presented. But beyond these, movie fans have limited possibilities.
Eric Garcetti, the mayor of Los Angeles says the Academy Museum will provide visitors the chance to experience many different parts of the film industry all in one place. Garcetti notes the museum will also serve the hundreds of thousands of local people working in film-related businesses. He says they, too, will finally be able to visit a place that celebrates their own Hollywood movie industry.
28. When was the idea of building a museum in Hollywood first put forward? A. In the 1920s. B. In 1939. C. In the 1990s. D. In 2019. 29. What can we learn from Brougher’s words? A. Photos of visitors will be put on display. B. Settings in the museum will feel quite real C. Most visitors will be presented an award.
第 4 页 共 13 页
D. Actors will donate much money to the museum.
30. What is Eric Garcetti’s attitude towards the Academy Museum?
A. Supportive. B. Critical. C. Disapproving. D. Cautious. 31. What is the best title for the passage? A. The Film-making Process in Hollywood. B. The Film-making Process of Hollywood. C. Hollywood Making Plans of Film Museums. D. Hollywood Getting Its Own Film Museum.
解析: 28.正确答案为A。根据the idea of building a museum 定位到第一段。第一段”becoming a reality”和 “more than 90 years has passed”可知2019-90=1929。 29.正确答案为B。根据 “Brougher’s words”定位到第三段和第四段。第四段 “to make visitors feel like they are in a movie” 对应选项B。A选项中visitor 错误, 应该是film-making。C选项博物馆会给大多数游客呈现一份奖品(即雕像)。原文是获得雕像的演员把雕像捐赠给博物馆呈现给所有游客。D选项的donate money错误,原文是donate statuettes。 30.正确答案为A。根据 “Eric Garcetti”定位到最后一段,chance, serve, be able to和celebrate 可知态度为supportive。 31.正确答案为D。根据首尾段寻找主题句 “Those plans are finally becoming a reality, with the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures set to open in 2019.”对应选项D D
For your next out-of-this-world vacation, you now have the option of literally going out of this world----but it’ll cost you $ 40 million. Then again, can you really put a price tag on having the time of your life? According to a new report from Popular Mechanics, Russia is looking to build a luxury hotel in outer space. There you will wake up to a breathtaking blue planet----the earth! The hotel is expected to be stationed on the International Space Station (ISS).
While space tourism itself isn’t exactly a novel idea, the notion of building a hotel out there hasn’t been raised before. Really, other companies are still focused on the transportation part of the puzzle — after all, a trip to space is enough for most folks.
According to Popular Mechanics, the hotel will include a luxury orbital suite with big windows, personal hygiene (卫生) facilities, exercise equipment, and yes, WiFi. Because if you can’ t share your experience on social media, did it really even happen?
Of course, the reasons behind the hotel aren’t just for fun and games. Apparently, space tourism might be able

to help the Russians pay for another module to add to the international Space Station. Russian space contractor RKK Energia is currently building the first such module, which will give scientists a laboratory and power supply station from which to conduct tests.
If any of this is going to happen, however, Russia is going to have to hurry. With the ISS expected to be out of use in 2028, there’s little time to build the hotel and find wealthy tourists to actually buy a trip into outer space.
So if you’ve recently come into a fortune and are interested in investing in what could be the time of your life, ISS is calling your name.
32. What do we know about the hotel from the first paragraph? A. It is quite affordable. B. It will be built in Russia. C. It will offer an amazing view. D. It costs $ 40 million to build.
33. What does the underlined phrase “the puzzle” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. An orbital suite.
B. Space tourism. D. A creative idea.
C. Space exploration.
34. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3? A. Hotel guests won’ t be able to see into space. B. Visitors are required to take exercise each day. C. Space travel is not possible without the Internet. D. Tourists tend to share traveling experiences online. 35. The hotel will be built to provide Russian scientists with A. fun and games C. space contractors again, can you really put a price tag on having the time of your life?”可知花费不菲,A错误。由“The hotel is expected to be stationed on the International Space Station (ISS). ”可知,该旅店第 6 页 共 13 页
B. financial support D. more time in space
32题:选择C。细节题。由题干the first paragraph可以定位第一自然段。由“There you will wake up to a breathtaking blue planet — the earth!”一句,“在那里,醒来你能便能看到令人激动人心的蓝色星球——地球的景象。”可知,C正确。由“but it’ll cost you $ 40 million. Then 将建在太空站,B错误。由“you now have the option of literally going out of this world — but it’ll cost you $ 40 million.”可知,是说到这个新修建的旅店需要40million美元,而不是修建该太空旅店要这么多钱,D错。

Nowadays, being online on various social media platforms is a trend. Several notifications (通知) pop up every now and then, commanding your attention.

G. 根据空前前一句的内容,句子中的organizations和productivity提示了下文应该与之有关联,选项中G选项中的managers和organizations近义词复现,又有productivity的原词复现,故选G。 37. E. 根据本段第一句话 “Half the battle is won once you prioritize your tasks.”中的prioritize和E选项中的prioritizing是原词复现,且句意符合逻辑,故选E。 38. C. 空前句意是不要在工作中过分绷紧,空后说了不要燃尽你自己,所以本空应该是一个过渡句,所以应选择C选项中的“把工作任务分成主次部分”。 39. A. 本空应该填入一个标题,所以应该在A和B中进行选择;根据这一段的中心思想,主要是说应该避免被一些诸如社交网络、手机等影响和分散注意力,所以应该选择A选项Avoid distractions。 40. F. 本段标题为切断外界噪音干扰,所以本空应和标题相关。空前列举了切断噪音干扰的一个措施,空后说以防这个措施不管用,你还可以用另外一种措施,所以本空也是一个措施,所以选择F选项。
