Drive in Ontario

Welcome to Ontario! Here’s what you need to know if you are, or will be, visiting

Ontario

— and want to drive while you’re here.

Visiting: less than 3 months

If you are visiting Ontario for less than 3 months and want to drive while you’re here, you

can use a valid driver’s licence from your own province, state or country.

Visiting: more than 3 months

If you will be visiting from another country for more than 3 months, you will need an

International Driver’s Permit (IDP) from your own country. This is a special licence that allows

motorists to drive internationally when accompanied by a valid driver’s licence from their

country. You need to have this permit with you when you arrive in Ontario. You cannot apply

for one once you are here.

Rules of the road

As a visitor, you are responsible for knowing Ontario traffic laws. Here are just some:

•

keep to the right of the road

•

obey posted speed limits (e.g., 50 km/hour)

•

do not use handheld devices while driving (e.g. cell phones, tablets or music players)

•

slow down and pull to the right, if an emergency vehicle is driving behind you with

their lights and sirens (警报器) on (e.g. an ambulance, fire truck or police car)

If you break a traffic law, you will face a penalty ( 处 罚 ). Penalties range from fines to

making your licence invalid or your car taken away.

1. Who is the text intended for?

A. Potential immigrants.

C. Exchange students.

2. What driving habit is unacceptable in Ontario?

A. Changing lanes at random.

C. Listening to music in the car.

3. Where is the text most probably taken from?

A. A local website.

1

B. General visitors.

D. Ordinary drivers.

B. Giving way to fire trucks.

D. Driving within the speed limits.

B. A travel guide.

C. An advertisement.

B

D. A geography magazine.

Humans have little difficulty recognizing one another. And we know that no two faces are

exactly alike. Even identical twins have slightly different faces. Each human face is truly unique,

and now we've invented machines that are able to recognize faces for numerous purposes.

Governments, employers and security and police services are increasingly using facial

recognition technology. This allows them to quickly confirm an individual's identity. Systems are

becoming so advanced that a wanted criminal can instantly be picked out of a crowd of thousands

of people. All that's required is an image in a database to compare with the image of any number of

people in a crowd. Ordinary people, too, are using facial recognition to unlock their phones, their

computers and other devices.

Personal facial recognition protection has several benefits. It is instantaneous, and it relieves us

of the need to memorize passwords. However, a device will require a password in the rare event

that it doesn't, for whatever reason, recognize the user's face.

There are numerous concerns about the use of facial recognition. Primarily, the concern is that it

threatens privacy. The installation of more and more cameras in public and private places is now

part of everyday life. This means people can be observed and recognized wherever they go.

Cameras may make public spaces safer, but keeping law-abiding(守法的) citizens under constant

watch is disturbing to many.

In the age of the corona-virus and the widespread wearing of masks, facial recognition systems

are having some difficulty. A mask covers many of the facial data points used by recognition

software to confirm a person's identity. In response, facial recognition systems are being trained to

use less facial data. That could affect how dependable it is as a method of identity detection.

4. What's the author's purpose of writing Paragraph 2?

A. To further explain the importance of facial recognition.

B. To describe the powerful functions of facial recognition.

C. To list in detail various advantages of facial recognition.

D. To state the unique advanced features of facial recognition.

5. Why are some people worried about the cameras?

A. The cameras may be occasionally out of order.

B. Too many cameras disturb people's daily life.

C. People's personal life might be exposed to others.

D. The cameras make law-abiding citizens feel stressful.

6. In what aspect will facial recognition systems be improved?

2

A. Getting more accurate with less information.

B. Becoming faster with more facial data.

C. Protecting personal information if necessary.

D. Responding more quickly to unexpected events.

is the text mainly about?

A. The wide popularity of facial recognition.

B. The rapid development of facial recognition.

C. The benefits of facial recognition.

D. The introduction to facial recognition.

C

What is the most powerful word in the English language? The. It's everywhere. We use it in

English without always noticing or appreciating it. It's not much to look at. It isn't descriptive,

emotive or inspiring. Technically, it's meaningless. And yet this dull and harmless-seeming word

could be one of the most powerful words in the English language.

“The” tops the lists of most frequently used words in English, accounting for 5% of every 100

words used. But why is this? The answer is two-fold. The principle of least effort plays a major part.

So people use it a lot. At the same time, “the” lies at the heart of English grammar, having a function

rather than a meaning. Words' are split into two categories: expressions with a semantic (

语义的

)

meaning and functional words like “the”, “to”, “for”, with a job to do.

Although “the” has no meaning in itself, “it seems to be able to do things in subtle and

miraculous ways,” says Michael Rosen, poet and author. Consider the difference between “he scored

a goal” and “he scored the goal”. The inclusion of “the” immediately signals something important

about that goal. Perhaps it was the only one of the match? Or maybe it helped a team win the

championship? Context very often determines sense.

This simplest of words can be used for dramatic effect. At the start of Hamlet, a guard’s

utterance of “Long live the King” is soon followed by the ghost: “Looks it not like the King?” Who,

the audience may wonder, does “the” refer to? The living King or a dead King? This kind of

confusion is the kind of “trick” that writers use to make us surprised and amused, a bit uneasy even.

“‘The’ is doing a lot of work here,” says Rosen.

8. Which of the following describes the word “the” correctly?

A. It is often overlooked. B. It is useless in practice.

C. It is dull and descriptive. D It is in every English sentence.

9. The word “the” is frequently used because it is _____.

3

A. brief and functional

C. effective and emotive

10. What does the example in Paragraph 3 imply?

A. “A” is not as important as “the”.

B. It's impossible to understand a single sentence.

C. Words should be understood in the context.

D. Some words have a clearer meaning than others.

B. popular and unique

D. meaningful and expressive

11. Why did the writer of the play stress “the” in “Looks it not like the King”?

A. To show his confusion.

B. To add drama to the scene.

C. To repeat the guard's words.

D. To help the audience understand.

D

Our suits have four layers: thermal underwear on the inside, followed by an electrically heated

bodysuit, a thick wool coat, and a half-inch-thick layer of rubber outerwear. There're two layers of

hoods, waterproof gloves and 35 pounds of weights. There are two batteries for the heated bodysuit,

a backup gas container, and finally, my photography equipment. We look like astronauts minus the

helmets.

When we finally dive into the freezing water, we're wearing 200 pounds each. The cold quickly

numbs the few square inches of exposed skin on our cheeks, and as the dive goes on, it spreads into

our suits and gloves, biting even harder. It’ s almost unbearable. Toward the end, as we're pausing on

our way up to let the pressure drop, we search for anything to distract us from the pain. When we

finally drag ourselves out of the freezing ocean, I lie face down on the ice, my brain dulled, my skin

hard and wrinkled, my lips, hands, and feet swollen and unconscious—then, as my body warms and

the blood starts to flow (again), the intense pain is at its worst.

What could possibly make this worthwhile? The sight! Only a few species of seals, penguins,

and other birds live in East Antarctica, and no land mammals at all. Below, it’s a rich garden.

Antarctic marine life has been largely isolated from the rest of the planet for millions of years, ever

since the continent separated from the other continents and froze over. Since then the powerful

Antarctic Circumpolar Current has surrounded Antarctica from west to east, creating a sharp change

in temperature that prevents the spread of marine animals. The long isolation has allowed a surprising

diversity of species, unique to the region, to evolve on the seafloor.

The waters under Antarctic ice are like Mount Qomolangma: magical, but extremely unfriendly.

Nothing short of full commitment gets you anywhere. The demand is too great. But that's what makes

4

the images you see here so breathtaking, and the experience of having photographed them and of

having seen this place so unforgettable.

12. What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 1?

A. How fully prepared the divers are. B. How entertaining a diver appears to be.

C. How advanced modern technologies are. D. How heavy the astronauts' equipment is.

13. The divers suffer the greatest pain when they ______.

A. dive into the water

C. reach the deepest spot

B. begin to resurface

D. regain consciousness

14. What do we know about marine species in Antarctica?

A. They can be found elsewhere on the planet. B. They have unimpressive biological diversity.

C. They experience sharp changes in temperature.

D. They live relatively independently geographically.

15. What makes the diving experience in Antarctica so worthwhile?

A. The amazing scenery and pictures taken.

C. The long-standing reputation of Antarctica.

diving.

Choose Action Over Perfection

Imperfect progress realized is better than perfection imagined. 16 . A

perfectly outlined novel is unreadable until it moves out of the outline and into words, dialogues,

conflicts and characters. That’s why we should choose action over perfection. Here are some

suggestions to help you act.

Just do it. Whatever it is, just grab 5 minutes and put it into imperfect, beautiful, and

flawed action that will result in imperfect, beautiful, and flawed value. Don’t think too hard

about it. 17 . Instead, just focus on the work you can do today. We’re not

good at assessing our own competencies. That’s part of the reason that taking action is so scary,

but don’t hesitate.

18 . If you keep a journal, try logging both your failures and your successes for a

week or so. Compare the two categories. Log your movement forward, no matter how small.

Perspective matters. Failure teaches. Success follows. Some things simply aren’t worth it. Even

an overwhelming sense of obligation doesn’t change that fact. 19 .

Work on your assignment. Keep writing, sketching, painting or whatever it is you need to

be doing. Keep taking one small imperfect action after another. 20 , because you’ll

5

B. The divers' devotion to the tough task.

D. The challenging circumstances of the

never be. Don’t wait until it’s perfect, because it’s rarely going to happen. Don’t wait at all.

A. Expect something perfect

B. This may sound confusing

C. Keep track of what you do

D. Don’t wait until you’re ready

E. Don’t focus on the goals of perfection

F. So let go of the stuff that doesn’t matter

G. A perfectly imagined work of art is useless until it exists outside of your head

根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

It all began when my younger brother, Chris, and I went over to Uncle Howard’s for

Thanksgiving. When we finally got to my uncle’s, Chris and I went outside to see if Uncle Howard

needed help with anything. Since Chris was only nine, he got the easier job of cleaning up the

watering cans. I was twelve, old enough to help load the wheelbarrow (

手推车

). But we still found

time to ask Uncle Howard a lot of questions about turkeys. He must have been impressed, because

when we were finished, he winked at my dad and handed me one turkey egg.

“You kids put this under a hatching hen,” he said, “and in twenty-five days, you’ll have a fine

turkey!” Chris was so excited that he nearly dropped the egg on the way home. Dad put the egg under

an old hen, and every day Chris and I would check to see if it had hatched yet. Twenty-five days

seemed like forever. Finally, on the twenty-sixth day, Chris and I walked into the coop (

鸡舍

) after

school to find the old hen scratching on the floor. Behind her was one ball of fluff (

绒毛

), falling over

its feet and looking sort of confusion. When it got older, we could tell that it was a tom. We named it

Timothy.

Timothy grew and grew, dashing towards the feed we threw out. He liked to wander in the

woods and find tasty berries and weed seeds. Mom kept telling us not to get too attached to Timothy,

because we were going to have him for Thanksgiving. But we never paid too much attention to what

that really meant.

Then, one day toward the end of October, Dad gave Chris and me instructions. “I want you to

start giving him com (

玉米

) along with his regular feed,” he said. “We want a nice, thick-fleshed bird

for Thanksgiving.” After Dad turned and walked away, Chris's face began to wrinkle, just as it does

before he starts to cry.

Dear fellow students,

On behalf of the Students’ Union, I am writing to call on everyone to take part in our summer

program named Care for the Aged.

The modern society is developing rapidly, leaving aged people behind, who have little

knowledge of the Internet and digital devices. To help them enjoy the modern technological

conveniences, in the coming summer holiday, we will organize volunteers to visit communities to

teach them how to use smart phones and surf the Internet. It surely will raise their life quality and

make a difference to the whole society.

We need your help. Please sign up at the office of the Students’ Union or write an e-mail to

********************.Yourparticipationwillbehighlyappreciated.

五读后续写

【答案】

One possible version:

I comforted Chris, saying we could hide Timothy where people couldn't find him. It was not

easy to break him out of his coop without catching the attention of our parents, though. For several

days, we worked on an escape plan, and finally decided that we would build a small shack in the

woods and keep Timothy there. One day, when Chris begged our parents to drive him to the mall, I

took Timothy to the shack we had built and left with him enough water and food. When they came

back, I told my parents, while sobbing, that a fox must have got Timothy because he was nowhere to

be found.

2

With Timothy gone, Uncle Howard provided the turkey on Thanksgiving. My brother and I

both felt very proud of ourselves after Thanksgiving. Had we done nothing, Timothy would have

spent the holiday in our bellies. But at the same time, a sense of guilt came over us. We decided to be

honest with our parents. After listening to our story, to our great surprise, dad wasn't angry. Instead,

he seemed to know that kids did crazy things when growing up. Not only were we not punished, but

also we were given the responsibility to take care of Timothy from that day on.

【解析】

【分析】

本文以时间为线索展开，讲述了作者和弟弟

Chris

从叔叔那里得到了一枚火鸡蛋，他们把蛋

带回家，让一只母亲把小火鸡孵了出来。小火鸡

Timothy

非常可爱，作者和弟弟都很喜欢它。

感恩节快要到来的时候，爸爸告诉他们要用

Timothy

做感恩节火鸡。作者和弟弟不希望这样，

于是他们想办法把

Timothy

藏了起来，让它躲过了一劫。父母知道真相后非但没有责备他们，

反而让他们照顾

Timothy

。

【详解】

1.

段落续写：

①

由第一段首句内容“我安慰

Chris

，说我们可以把

Timothy

藏到人们找不到的地方。”可

知，第一段可描写作者和弟弟如何把

Timothy

藏了起来。

②

由第二段首句内容“

Timothy

走了，霍华德叔叔在感恩节提供了火鸡。”可知，第二段可

描写让

Timothy

逃过感恩节后“我”和弟弟做了什么，父母如何反应。

2.

续写线索：制定计划——引开父母——躲藏——说谎——骄傲——承认——照顾
