Distances and speeds, however, are posted in kilometers 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 illegal 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(头盔) 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. Also, we suggest that you visit the website of Canadas national authority responsible for road safety. 25.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A.

When asked why she has the picture, Merkel says, “She was a strong woman”. Many say the same of Merkel. The most powerful woman in the world, according to US Forbes magazine, was in China last week. She came to discuss trade and environmental issues with Chinas top leaders. Germanys first woman leader is known as a brave and practical statesman(政治家). Even since her time at school, she had the habit of getting everything in order. Every day before doing her homework she would clean the desk and think about what to do next. “I prefer a long time for full preparations to make my decision. But once I decide, I will stand up for what I believe, ”Merkel said. Perhaps it was good habits that helped her do well in her studies. At 32, she got a doctor degree in physics and then she worked as a researcher. However, the life of a scholar couldnt put off her love of politics. While working in labs, Merkel took time off to read political books and at last joined a political party. “Her calmness helped her stand out in the party. She could always find a way out while others felt hopeless, ”said one of her old friends. In her first big political job as Minister for the Environment in 1994, her scientific background proved very useful. In xx she became Germanys youngest prime minister since the second World War. Now half way through her four-year term, the 53-year-old woman has made a name for herself both in Germany and abroad. At the EU summit（欧盟峰会） in xx when France quarreled with Britain over the EU budget(预算), some people believed the EU was close to breaking down. But Merkel didnt give up. She shuttled(穿梭)between the heads of the two powers and had them reached an agreement. “Strength es from posure(镇定)and courage. Many people say I am a strong woman. But I would rather say I have perseverance, ”said Merkel. 28. Why does Merkel put a picture of Catherine the Great on the wall of her office? A. Because Catherine the Great is beautiful. B. Because Merkel wants to be a strong woman too. C. Because Merkel likes the drawing skill of it. D. Because it is very expensive. 29.
