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(礼节)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 back pack 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 (证明)of payment accessible in case you are asked to show it.
1. What is the advantage of using transit passes over buying tickets?
A. Safer trips. B. Lower costs.
C. Longer service time. D. More use of transport.
2. How does the transportation system help people with disabilities?
A. By offering fewer transportation options. B. By limiting their mobility on city buses.
C. By running special transport services. D. By providing free rides in towns and cities.
3. What is considered impolite on public transportation?
A. Staying close to other passengers. B. Placing backpacks at your feet.
C. Having your proof of payment at hand. D. Lowering your speaking voice.

Fourteen-year-old Harini Logan won the Scripps National Spelling Bee last Thursday, defeating 12-year-old Vikram Raju in a tie-breaker. It’s the first time the contest has ever been decided by a tie-breaking round of spelling.
A spelling bee is a contest where players take turns spelling words. Players who spell a word wrong are out of the contest. As the contest goes on, the words get more difficult. Normally, the contest ends when there’s only one player left who hasn’t made a mistake. Though the bee is mainly about spelling, since 2021 it has changed slightly to also focus on the meaning of the words. During parts of the contest, students were asked to choose the correct meaning of a word.
That caused trouble for Harini. She was asked about the meaning of the word “pullulation”. She said the word described the nesting of birds. The contest organizers had expected the answer the “swarming of bees”. Harini was removed from the contest. But soon she was back in—the judges double-checked and learned that Harini’s definition was also correct. One by one, the other students spelled a word wrong and got out. Finally, only Harini and Vikram were left.
The Scripps bee has been running for over 90 years. Many times it ended in a tie. As a result the contest organizers changed the rules. They added a “spell-off” to the contest to make future ties much less likely. In the spell-off, Vikram and Harini each took turns trying to spell the words they were asked, but both made mistakes. At one point, Harini could have won by spelling the word “drimys” (a kind of plant) correctly. But she missed it.
That put the two into a super tie-breaking event, where they were each given 90 seconds to correctly spell as many words as they could. In 90 seconds, Vikram had spelled 15 words correctly. Harini had 21 correct spellings, making her the new winner.
4. What does the author want to show in Paragraph 2?
A. The rules of the contest. B. The awards of the contest.
C. The organization of the contest. D. The way to take part in the contest.
5. Why did the contest organizers change the rules?
A. To attract more teenagers. B. To avoid the result of a tie.
C. To make the contest fair. D. To reduce unexpected mistakes.
6. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. A close spelling contest was held online. B. The Scripps Spelling Bee changed its rules.
C. Many people won spots at a national contest. D. A teenager wins Spelling Bee in exciting tie-breaker.
7. What is the text?
A. A news report. B. A book review. C. A research paper. D. A class presentation.
C
This summer has brought extreme heat and droughts to places around the world. The droughts are leading to serious problems and the effects of the droughts are likely to be felt for years. Droughts aren’t new, but Earth’s rising temperatures because of global warming are making them much harder to avoid.
The drought in the Horn of Africa may be the most serious situation. For several years, the area has had very little rain during the rainy seasons. The dry conditions have killed millions of farm animals and destroyed the crops of farmers.
The drought is causing energy problems in Europe, too. The low water levels have cut the amount of hydroelectric power that can be produced. Some rivers are so low that the heavy boats that carry coal can’t travel on them.
Farmers in California and Arizona have been hit particularly hard. California has put limits on water use across the state. Now water is being limited in other places. When there are water limits, farmers aren’t able to grow as many crops. That can drive up food prices, and that affects everyone.
China is facing similar problems. The drought has dried up much of the water in the Yangtze, China’s longest river. That has cut the amount of energy produced by the world’s largest dam by 40%.
China hasn’t been able to produce enough energy, since millions of people are using electricity to keep cool. The government is calling on the public to turn off the air conditioner when it is not too hot. The country is trying to make it rain by shooting chemicals into clouds. But this is an uncertain and temporary response.
There are no easy solutions to any of these droughts. It took years to create the climate crisis, and it will take a long time to get it under control. For now, governments and people will need to carefully manage water supplies and other resources to limit the damage as much as possible.
8. What has been affected by droughts according to the passage?
A. Technology.
B. Transportation.
C. Education.
D. Tourism.
9. What measures have been taken to deal with droughts in China?
A. Bringing water from other countries.
B. Finding replacement for rain water.
C. Limiting the use of drinking water.
D. Controlling the use of electricity.
10. How might the author feel about the fight against drought?
A. Concerned.
B. Satisfied.
C. Disappointed.
D. Optimistic.
11. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. Worldwide Droughts Appeared as New Problems
B. China Is also Facing the Serious Drought Problem
C. Droughts Cause Problems Around the World
D. Many Reasons Lead to the Drought Problem
D
Steager is an engineer at the University of Pennsylvania. His colleague Hyun Koo is an inventor and dental researcher there. Together, they found a way to form the nanoparticles (纳米颗粒) into long, skinny bristles (鬃毛), a lot like the ones on a toothbrush. But these bristles shape-shift to fit whatever surface they encounter. They can even squeeze between teeth.
“A new way to clean teeth could help out anyone who finds this chore boring,” says Koo. But it would be especially life-changing for people with disabilities or illnesses that make it difficult or impossible to hold and move a toothbrush.
The tooth-cleaning robot works thanks to two magnets (磁铁). One goes on each side of the teeth. The nanoparticles sit in a water-based solution between the magnets. When the magnets are turned off, the nanoparticles float randomly in the solution. As soon as one magnet gets turned on, the nanoparticles clump together near its center. When you turn on the other magnet and turn off the first one, the nanoparticles extend outward in long, skinny bristles.
When there’s a tooth in the way, these bristles can’t stretch out as far as they want. So they push against the tooth’s surface. If there’s a gap between teeth, they push into the gap. Moving the magnets makes the bristles move against and between teeth.
Besides as a bonus, the nanoparticles can kill what harms the teeth and keep them health y because it contains something commonly added to toothpaste and mouthwash.
The new invention is just a proof of concept. The researchers still need to turn it into a product that people will want to use. It must fit comfortably and safely in people’s mouths. It can’t draw too much power or cost too much. “There’s a lot of engineering to get from here to there,” says Steager. But he adds, “every good idea needs to have a start.”
12. What is a feature of the bristles?
A. They can be solved into water. B. They can change shapes.
C. They only work in liquid. D. They feel much softer.
13. What aspect of the invention is mainly talked about in paragraph 3?
A Its shape. B. Its function. C. Its structure. D. Its working principle.
14 What does the underlined word “clump” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Subscribe. B. Drag. C. Gather. D. Remove.
15. What can we infer from Stager’s words?
A. The invention still needs them to put more efforts. B. The first step is always the hardest.
C. Engineering can be applied to every field. D. A good beginning is half done.

Learning how to apologize is similar to learning any new behavior. It may feel awkward and may not be polished at first. ____16____ There are several tips that will help you as you learn how to apologize.

An A for Mrs. Bartlett
I was sitting next to Missy in my ninth-grade world history class when Mrs. Bartlett announced a new project. In groups, we were to create a poster around what we were studying.
On a piece of paper, we wrote the names of three friends we wanted in our group. After collecting all the requests, Mrs. Bartlett informed us that she would take into consideration the names we chose and would let us know the results the next day. I was a well-rounded top student in the class, so I had no doubt I would get the group of my choice. There were only a handful of sociably decent people in the class, and Missy was one of them. I knew we had chosen each other.
The next day, I anxiously awaited the class. After the bell rang, Missy and I stopped talking as Mrs. Bartlett called for our attention. She started to call out names. When she reached group three, Missy’s name was called. So I’m in group three, I thought. The second, third and fourth members of the group were called. My name was not included. There had to be some mistake!
Then I heard it. The last group: “ Mauro, Juliette, Rachel, Karina. ” I could feel the tears well in my eyes. How could I face being in that group — the boy who barely spoke English, the one girl who was always covered by skirts that went down to her ankles, and the other girl who was often wearing very strange and unusual clothes with fancy items. They certainly fell into the category of the least popular in our class. They were considered misfits (不合群的人)!
There must be something wrong! Mrs. Bartlett was such a person of insight, vision and thoughtfulness that she never forgot to bring out the potential of all her students. Oh, how badly I wanted to be with my friends. Finally I was determined to convince her I should be in the “ good ” group.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
I fought back tears as I walked up to Mrs. Bartlett.

Halfway through the week, I felt myself enjoying the company of these three misfits.

Fourteen-year-old Harini Logan won the Scripps National Spelling Bee last Thursday, defeating 12-year-old Vikram Raju in a tie-breaker. It’s the first time the contest has ever been decided by a tie-breaking round of spelling.
A spelling bee is a contest where players take turns spelling words. Players who spell a word wrong are out of the contest. As the contest goes on, the words get more difficult. Normally, the contest ends when there’s only one player left who hasn’t made a mistake. Though the bee is mainly about spelling, since 2021 it has changed slightly to also focus on the meaning of the words. During parts of the contest, students were asked to choose the correct meaning of a word.
That caused trouble for Harini. She was asked about the meaning of the word “pullulation”. She said the word described the nesting of birds. The contest organizers had expected the answer the “swarming of bees”. Harini was removed from the contest. But soon she was back in—the judges double-checked and learned that Harini’s definition was also correct. One by one, the other students spelled a word wrong and got out. Finally, only Harini and Vikram were left.
The Scripps bee has been running for over 90 years. Many times it ended in a tie. As a result, the contest organizers changed the rules. They added a “spell-off” to the contest to make future ties much less likely. In the spell-off, Vikram and Harini each took turns trying to spell the words they were asked, but both made mistakes. At one point, Harini could have won by spelling the word “drimys” (a kind of plant) correctly. But she missed it.
That put the two into a super tie-breaking event, where they were each given 90 seconds to correctly spell as many words as they could. In 90 seconds, Vikram had spelled 15 words correctly. Harini had 21 correct spellings, making her the new winner.
4. What does the author want to show in Paragraph 2?
A. The rules of the contest. B. The awards of the contest.
C. The organization of the contest. D. The way to take part in the contest.
5. Why did the contest organizers change the rules?

This summer has brought extreme heat and droughts to places around the world. The droughts are leading to serious problems and the effects of the droughts are likely to be felt for years. Droughts aren’t new, but Earth’s rising temperatures because of global warming are making them much harder to avoid.
The drought in the Horn of Africa may be the most serious situation. For several years, the area has had very little rain during the rainy seasons. The dry conditions have killed millions of farm animals and destroyed the crops of farmers.
The drought is causing energy problems in Europe, too. The low water levels have cut the amount of hydroelectric power that can be produced. Some rivers are so low that the heavy boats that carry coal can’t travel on them.
Farmers in California and Arizona have been hit particularly hard. California has put limits on water use across the state. Now water is being limited in other places. When there are water limits, farmers aren’t able to grow as many crops. That can drive up food prices, and that affects everyone.
China is facing similar problems. The drought has dried up much of the water in the Yangtze, China’s longest river. That has cut the amount of energy produced by the world’s largest dam by 40%.
China hasn’t been able to produce enough energy, since millions of people are using electricity to keep cool. The government is calling on the public to turn off the air conditioner when it is not too hot. The country is trying to make it rain by shooting chemicals into clouds. But this is an uncertain and temporary response.
There are no easy solutions to any of these droughts. It took years to create the climate crisis, and it will take a long time to get it under control. For now, governments and people will need to carefully manage water supplies and other resources to limit the damage as much as possible.
8. What has been affected by droughts according to the passage?
A. Technology.
B Transportation.
C. Education.
D. Tourism.
9. What measures have been taken to deal with droughts in China?
A. Bringing water from other countries.
B. Finding replacement for rain water.
C. Limiting the use of drinking water.
D. Controlling the use of electricity.
10. How might the author feel about the fight against drought?
A. Concerned.
B. Satisfied.
C. Disappointed.
D. Optimistic.
11. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. Worldwide Droughts Appeared as New Problems
B. China Is also Facing the Serious Drought Problem
C. Droughts Cause Problems Around the World
D. Many Reasons Lead to the Drought Problem
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C

Steager is an engineer at the University of Pennsylvania. His colleague Hyun Koo is an inventor and dental researcher there. Together, they found a way to form the nanoparticles (纳米颗粒) into long, skinny bristles (鬃毛), a lot like the ones on a toothbrush. But these bristles shape-shift to fit whatever surface they encounter. They can even squeeze between teeth.
“A new way to clean teeth could help out anyone who finds this chore boring,” says Koo. But it would be especially life-changing for people with disabilities or illnesses that make it difficult or impossible to hold and move a toothbrush.
The tooth-cleaning robot works thanks to two magnets (磁铁). One goes on each side of the teeth. The nanoparticles sit in a water-based solution between the magnets. When the magnets are turned off, the nanoparticles float randomly in the solution. As soon as one magnet gets turned on, the nanoparticles clump together near its center. When you turn on the other magnet and turn off the first one, the nanoparticles extend outward in long, skinny bristles.
When there’s a tooth in the way, these bristles can’t stretch out as far as they want. So they push against the tooth’s surface. If there’s a gap between teeth, they push into the gap. Moving the magnets makes the bristles move against and between teeth.
Besides, as a bonus, the nanoparticles can kill what harms the teeth and keep them health y because it contains something commonly added to toothpaste and mouthwash.
The new invention is just a proof of concept. The researchers still need to turn it into a product that people will want to use. It must fit comfortably and safely in people’s mouths. It can’t draw too much power or cost too much. “There’s a lot of engineering to get from here to there,” says Steager. But he adds, “every good idea needs to have a start.”
12. What is a feature of the bristles?
A. They can be solved into water. B. They can change shapes.
C. They only work in liquid. D. They feel much softer.
13. What aspect of the invention is mainly talked about in paragraph 3?
A. Its shape. B. Its function. C. Its structure. D. Its working principle.
14. What does the underlined word “clump” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Subscribe. B. Drag. C. Gather. D. Remove.
15. What can we infer from Stager’s words?
A. The invention still needs them to put more efforts. B. The first step is always the hardest.
C. Engineering can be applied to every field. D. A good beginning is half done.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A

【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“The tooth-cleaning robot works thanks to two magnets (磁铁). One goes on each side of the teeth. The nanoparticles sit in a water-based solution between the magnets. When the magnets are turned off, the nanoparticles float randomly in the solution. As soon as one magnet gets turned on, the nanoparticles clump together near its center. When you turn on the other magnet and turn off the first one, the nanoparticles extend outward in long, skinny bristles.(清洁牙齿的机器人靠两块磁铁工作。牙齿两侧各有一个。纳米粒子位于磁铁之间的水基溶液中。当磁铁关闭时,纳米粒子在溶液中随机漂浮。一旦一个磁体被打开,纳米粒子就会在其中心附近聚集在一起。当你打开另一个磁体并关闭第一个磁体时,纳米粒子就会向外延伸,形成又长又细的鬃毛)”可知,第3段主要讨论了发明的工作原理。故选D。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“When the magnets are turned off, the nanoparticles float randomly in the solution. As soon as one magnet gets turned on”以及后文“near its center”可知,当磁铁关闭时,纳米粒子在溶液中随机漂浮。一旦一个磁体被打开,纳米粒子就会在其中心附近聚集在一起。故划线词意思是“聚集”。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““There’s a lot of engineering to get from here to there,” says Steager. But he adds, “every good idea needs to have a start.”(“从这里到那里有很多工程,”斯蒂格说。但他补充道:“每个好主意都需要一个开始。”)”可知,这项发明还需要他们付出更多努力。故选A。

We may hear unpleasant observations from another about our own shortcomings. We may hear the expression of anger. One of the ways we let others know we are truly responsible and accountable for our mistakes is by listening to the other party pour out the feelings associated with our actions.(知道什么时候闭嘴是一种美德。保持安静可能非常困难,因为道歉后倾听并不容易。我们可能会听到别人对我们自己的缺点提出不愉快的评论。我们可能会听到愤怒的表情。我们让别人知道我们真正对自己的错误负有责任和负责的方法之一是倾听对方倾诉与我们的行为相关的感受。)”可知,本段主要介绍道歉时要倾听别人,D项“倾听对我们道歉的回应很重要。”符合,故选D。

考查介词。句意:春卷,那些酥脆的金色油酥面团点心,特点是里面混合了诸如白菜、胡萝卜等细切蔬菜,有时还有肉,是快速而美味选择中最受欢迎的。a mix of...为固定搭配,意为“……的混合物”,故填of。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意:同上。空白处在句子中作定语,修饰名词bite,应使用形容词tasty,故填tasty。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意:这些卷被炸得恰到好处地酥脆,通常趁热吃。空白处应填入副词typically,修饰后面的动词eaten,故填typically。
【39题详解】
考查连词。句意:吃一个春卷,你得决定是先蘸甜酸酱增加额外的风味层次,还是简单地享受它本身的味道,让卷本身的味道显现出来。本句使用了“疑问词+动词不定式”结构,作动词decide的宾语,根据句意,表示“是否”要用whether,故填whether。
【40题详解】
考查代词。句意:同上。此处指代前面提到的spring roll,要用it作宾语,故填it。
【41题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:虽然春卷在很多地方都有供应,但经典的版本可以在繁忙的街头市场找到,在那里它们是现做的,直接从油锅里拿出来。根据句中can be found可知,此处要用一般现在时描述客观情况,且主语spring rolls与谓语serve之间是被动关系,所以用一般现在时的被动语态,主语是复数,be动词使用are。故填are served。
【42题详解】
考查连词。句意:同上。空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词markets,先行词指地点,关系词在从句中作地点状语,应用where引导从句。故填where。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:好的春卷皮薄,容易拿起而不破碎或变得湿漉漉的。allow sb. to do sth.为固定短语,意为“允许某人做某事”,因动词不定式与其逻辑主语them之间为逻辑上的动宾关系,使用动词不定式的被动式,故填to be picked。
【44题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意:无论我在哪里买,一个总是不够,但两三个又太多了。根据句中get和is可知,句子使用一般现在时,two or three为主语,是复数形式,be动词使用are。故填are。
【45题详解】
考查现在分词。句意:不管怎样,我总是很满意,但也期待着我下一次的春卷体验。leave sb doing sth为固定短语,意为“使某人处于某种状态”,故填looking。

56. 阅读下面材料,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。
An A for Mrs. Bartlett
I was sitting next to Missy in my ninth-grade world history class when Mrs. Bartlett announced a new project. In groups, we were to create a poster around what we were studying.
On a piece of paper, we wrote the names of three friends we wanted in our group. After collecting all the requests, Mrs. Bartlett informed us that she would take into consideration the names we chose and would let us know the results the next day. I was a well-rounded top student in the class, so I had no doubt I would get the group of my choice. There were only a handful of sociably decent people in the class, and Missy was one of them. I knew we had chosen each other.
The next day, I anxiously awaited the class. After the bell rang, Missy and I stopped talking as Mrs. Bartlett called for our attention. She started to call out names. When she reached group three, Missy’s name was called. So I’m in group three, I thought. The second, third and fourth members of the group were called. My name was not included. There had to be some mistake!
Then I heard it. The last group: “ Mauro, Juliette, Rachel, Karina. ” I could feel the tears well in my eyes. How could I face being in that group — the boy who barely spoke English, the one girl who was always covered by skirts that went down to her ankles, and the other girl who was often wearing very strange and unusual clothes with fancy items. They certainly fell into the category of the least popular in our class. They were considered misfits (不合群的人)!
There must be something wrong! Mrs. Bartlett was such a person of insight, vision and thoughtfulness that she never forgot to bring out the potential of all her students. Oh, how badly I wanted to be with my friends. Finally I was determined to convince her I should be in the “ good ” group.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
I fought back tears as I walked up to Mrs. Bartlett.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Halfway through the week, I felt myself enjoying the company of these three misfits.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph l:
I fought back tears as I walked up to Mrs. Bartlett. Before I opened my mouth, she gently placed a hand on my shoulder, saying with a knowing smile, “ I know what you want, but your group needs you. ” So stunned was I that I couldn’t utter a single word for a moment. She had seen something in me that I hadn’t seen. Suddenly, a mixture of guilt as well as pride seized me. The power of being trusted made me stand straighter. “ I’ll help them. ” I replied in a firm voice. I couldn’t believe it came out of my mouth, but it did.
Paragraph 2:
Halfway through the week, I felt myself enjoying the company of these three misfits. The project was going smoothly with our joint efforts. Besides, I found out Mauro was struggling with English, Juliette wore long skirts because of her religion and Rachel dreamed to be a fashion designer. They weren’t misfits, just people that no one cared enough about to try to understand — except Mrs. Bartlett. I was lucky to be given a chance to see other people in a new light. Mrs. Bartlett gave us an A on that assignment, which should be handed back, for she was the one who truly deserved it.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了历史课上,老师分小组做任务时,作者被老师分在了一个不好的小组,小组内的几个学生都是不受人欢迎的孩子,作者很委屈,希望和好朋友们一组,老师却鼓励她留在这组帮助这几个同学完成任务。
【详解】1. 段落续写
①由第一段首句“我忍着眼泪走向Mrs. Bartlett”可知,续写应围绕我跟老师见面后的语言、动作、神情等展开描写,包括倾诉“我”对分组结果的不解,如何说服老师把我分在“优生组”等,以及老师的回答、反应和举措等。为与下一段首句呼应,“我”一定是说服未遂,继续和这三个不合群的人在同一个组。
②由第二段首句“这周过半的时候,我觉得自己很享受这三个不合群的人的陪伴”可知,续写应围绕“我”与组员们完成项目的过程和结果,与此同时,“我”的心态发生了转变,理解了老师的良苦用心,明白了应该抛弃成见,学会接纳和包容的做人哲学。
2. 续写线索:试图说服老师——老师期望——接受任务——完成任务——感悟与成长
