第一节选择题（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

Getting around in Canada is fairly easy. Most cities have urban transportation systems, including buses, streetcars, and trains, and some of the larger cities also have subways. You can board these systems at regular stops along their routes. Some let you pay with cash while others require tickets. If you don’t have a ticket for the bus, you must pay with the correct amount of money. This is because the driver does not carry any change. If you plan to stay in a city for a long time, you may want to buy a monthly pass or a package of tickets to save money. You can buy subway tickets at any subway station.

If you have to take several buses or subways for a single trip, you do not need to pay money each time. Simply ask the driver for a transfer (换乘) ticket, or take one from the machines on the subway platform.

If you are not sure where to board the bus or the streetcar, just ask someone or follow the crowd. People can usually only board at the front of the bus where you show your pass to the driver. When using public transportation, Canadians line up. First come, first serve, is a common approach to many activities in Canada, and it is considered to be extremely rude to cut in any line.

Maps of routes and schedules are usually available from the public transit (运输) company in your area, and there is also a telephone information line. You may ask someone for the name of the transit company in your area, and then look it up in the telephone book.

46. What is this passage mainly about?

A. How to use public transportation in Canada.

B. How to save money when traveling.

C. Where to find subways in larger cities.

D. How public transit companies work.

47. If you pay the bus fare in cash, _____.

A. you may be given some change

B. you can exchange money with the driver

C. it might cost you a little more

D. you must have the exact amount of money

48. By buying a monthly pass or a package of tickets, you can ______.

A. take a bus whenever you want      B. go wherever you like

C. save money                     D. find comfortable seats

49. If you have to change subway lines on a single trip, _____.

I was dirty smelly hungry and some somewhere beneath all that, suntanned(皮肤晒黑).It was the end of an Inter-Rail holiday．My body couldn’t take any more punishment. My mind couldn't deal with any more foreign timetables, currencies or languages．

"Never again，" I said, as I stepped onto home ground．I said exactly the same thing the following year．And the next, all I had to do was buy one train ticket and, because I was under twenty―five years old，I could spend a whole month going anywhere I wanted in Europe. Ordinary beds are never the same once you've learnt to sleep, in the passage of a train, the rhythm rocking you into a deep sleep.

Carrying all your possessions on your back  in a tucksack(背包) makes you have a vefy basic approach to travel，and encourages incredible wastefulness that can lead  to burning socks that have become too anti-social(不合群的)，and getting rid of books when finished．On the other hand,this way of looking at life is entirely in the spirit of Inter―Rail,for common sense and reasoning can be thrown out of the window along with the paperback book and the socks．All it takes to achieve this carefree attitude is one of those tickets in your hand．

Any system that enables young people to travef through countries at a rate of more than one a day must be pretty social on that first trip,my friehds mad I were at first unaware of the possibilities of this type of train ticket，thinking it was just an inexpensive way of getting to and from our chosen camp-site in southern France．But the idea of non-stop travel proved too attractive，for there was always just one more country over the border，always that little bit further to go．And what did the extra miles cost us? Nothing.

We were not completely uninterested in culture．But this was a first holiday without parents，as it was for most other Inter-Railers,and in organizing our own timetable  we left out everything except the most available sights．This was the chance to escape the guided tour，an opportunity to do something different．I took great pride in the fact that．in many places，all I could be bothered to see was the view from the station．We were just there to get by，and to have good time doing so．In this we were not different from most of the other Inter-Raiders with whom we shared passage  floors，food and water，money and music．

The excitement of travel comes from the sudden reality of somewhere that was previously just a name．It is as if the city in which you arrive never actually existed until the train pulls in at the station and you are able to see it with your own tired eyes for the first time.
