【題目】WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT CAR RENTAL IN CANADA

When you fly into Canada you don’t have many choices. A car is often the only way to reach the spectacular destinations which Canada is famous for. Most major car rental companies have offices at airports, towns and cities across the country.

What do you need in order to rent a car in Canada?

● Valid Driver’s license and International Driver’s Permit if your license is not in English or French.

● When picking up your car, you may have to show your passport and a return airline ticket.

● Credit Card for the deposit—Renting a car in Canada without a credit card is impossible.

Fly-Drive Packages from Home

You may get the best deal on car rental if you book a fly-drive package from home or if you book a long time in advance. Rental coast varies to a great extent, depending on the time of year, type of vehicle and length of rental.

Minimum Age

The driver has to be at least 21 years old and have a minimum of 12 months of driving experience in order to rent a car in Canada. A “Young Renter Fee” will be applied to your car rental, if you are between the ages of 21 and 24 and will be charged on top of the rental rate.

Insurance

Most car rental companies in Canada offer a collision damage waiver (CDW) for an additional charge. Some credit card companies include CDW insurance on car rentals when you use their cards to pay for the rental. Check your credit card’s terms and conditions.

Fuel and Service Stations

Most rental cars use unleaded gas. Remember, driving distances in Canada are long and a large amount of your vacation budget will go towards gasoline. Filling up in larger cities is usually cheaper than in small towns. If you are heading up to the Northwest Territories, gas prices will be much higher than in the south.

Cross-Border Travel

Some rental companies don’t allow their cars to drive across borders, like from Canada to the US or across provinces. If this is the case, watch out; GPS may be used to track your route.

【1】You’ll have to pay extra fees for your car rental in Canada if you________.

A. book a fly-drive package from home

B. are 22 with one-year driving experience

C. use a credit card offering CDW insurance

D. have no passport or return airline ticket

【2】What are you encouraged to do when you rent a car in Canada?

A. Use GPS to find your way.B. Provide a license in English.

C. Fill up the car in large cities.D. Drive across borders to America.

【答案】

【1】B

【2】C

【解析】

這是一篇說(shuō)明文。主要是告知人們?cè)诩幽么笕绾巫廛囈约白⒁馐马?xiàng)。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)原文可知A、C是可以省錢的，D則直接會(huì)導(dǎo)致無(wú)法租車，均排除。在原文Minimum Age下面的第二句話A “Young Renter Fee" will be applied to your car rental, if you are between the ages of 21 and 24 and will be charged on top of the rental rate.可知，如果年齡在21-24歲間會(huì)額外收費(fèi)，而要想租車的基本條件就是駕駛時(shí)間為12個(gè)月及以上，因此選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)原文GPS會(huì)記錄你的行蹤因此不要開出邊界，排除A、D；要提供有效的駕駛證，如果駕照是非英語(yǔ)或法語(yǔ)的，要國(guó)際駕駛許可證，而不是讓你只能提供英語(yǔ)駕駛證，排除B。在原文倒數(shù)第四行Filling up in larger cities is usually cheaper than in small towns可知，在大城市加油會(huì)比小城鎮(zhèn)便宜，因此建議在大城市加油。故選C。

【題目】閱讀下面短文，并按照要求用英語(yǔ)寫一篇150詞左右的文章。

Do you know when and where the first film was made? It was in the 1880s, more than 120 years ago, that William Friese-Green made what we now think of as a film. The fathers of modern film are thought to be the Lumiere brothers from France. The first films ever made were silent. It was not until in 1927 that the first full-length “talking film” was shown in New York.

In 1896, film was introduced to China. The first Chinese film, Conquering Jun Mountain, was made in 1905. The first film made only by Chinese was The Difficult Couple, which was made in 1913. The Chinese film industry developed quite quickly—between 1948 and 1966, more than 600 full-length films were made, most about war.

People like to enjoy themselves when they are free and so they kill time in the cinema. Besides, they can learn more about the society, like various cultures, by watching films. Finally, although films present true pictures of life, they are higher than life. Good movies usually offer people hopes and faith.

【題目】The iPhone the iPad: each of Apple’s products sounds cool and has become a fad(一時(shí)的風(fēng)尚). Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i”—and many other brands are following suit. The BBC’s iPlayer—which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet—used the title in 2008. A lovely bear—popular in the US and UK一that plays music and vide is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed-down version(簡(jiǎn)裝本) of London’s Independent newspaper was stated last week under the name “i”.

In general, single-letter prefixes(前綴) have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use.

Most “i” products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independent’s “i”, it’s no surprise that they’ve selected this fashionable name.

But it’s hard to see what’s so special about the letter “i” Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at King’s College, London, “i”works because its meaning has becomc ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or intcractive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didn’t have one clear definition,” he says.

“However, thanks to Apple, the term is now connected with portability.” adds Thorne.

Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.

Along with“Google” and “blog”, readers of BBC Magazines voted“i”as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade.

But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was connected with all things advanced and modern. How ever, as we entered the new century, the fashion disappeared.

【1】People use iPlayer to .

A. listen to music

B. make a call

C. watch TV programs online

D. read newspapers

【2】We can infer that the Independent’s “i” is designed for .

A. young readers

B. old readers

C. fashionable women

D. engineers

【3】The underlined word “ambiguous” means “ .”

A. popular

B. uncertain

C. clear

D. unique

【4】The writer suggests that .

A. “i” products are often of high quality

B. iTeddy is a live bear

C. the letter “b” replaces letter “i” to name the products

D. the popularity of “i” products may not last long

【題目】 Lead has proved to be a useful metal. 【1】 It goes into car batteries and also helps make bright pigments, used to paint walls, metal work and toys.

【2】 In the worst cases it causes comas（昏迷）and death. More often its effects are slow but harmful. Research shows that lead is a threat to little babies, who are most likely to take in dust and paint chips that contain lead. Their brains can be easily harmed. 【3】

The dangers of lead have long been known. American banned it from paint 40 years ago, and by the late 1990s leaded petrol had been stopped gradually in almost all rich countries. But the effects continue to exist. 【4】 The situation is more alarming in the poor world, where the use of lead-based paints is spreading. As people in Asia and Africa become richer, they start to decorate their homes, but the paint they use, even from pots labeled "lead-free" often contains it.

It is neither difficult nor expensive to stop using lead. 【5】 And industrial use is no exception, because the contamination （污染物）spreads and industrial paint inevitably finds its way into the consumer market. Yet only four sub-Saharan African countries have formally placed bans and local factories are often unaware of the harm that lead causes.

A. Yet lead is also a poison.

B. It turns up everywhere.

C. All countries should ban lead in paint.

D. Half a million American children are diagnosed with lead poisoning.

E. There is no excuse for poor countries to repeat the mistake of rich ones.

F. Taking some simple precautions can help protect you and your family from lead exposure.

G. But only years after exposure are the results apparent in lower IQ and learning disabilities.
