查看习题详情和答案>>are located on rivers, and almost every country has at least one river flowing through. That plays an
important part in the lives of its people.
Since the beginning of history, people have used rivers for transportation. The longest one in the
United States is the Mississippi. The lifeline of Egypt is Nile. To the people of India, the Ganges is great,
but it is also important for transportation; ships can travel along it for a thousand miles. Other great rivers
are the Congo in Africa and the Mekong in Southeast Asia. The greatest of all for navigation (航海),
however, is the Amazon in Brazil. It is so wide and so deep that large ships can go about two thousand
miles upon it.
Besides transportation, rivers give food to eat, water to drink, water for crops, and chances for fun
and recreation for the people who live along their banks. In order to increase the supply of water for crops,
engineers sometimes build a dam (大坝) across a river and let a lake form behind the dam. Then people
can use the water not only to irrigate (灌溉) their fields but also to make electricity for their homes and
industries. However, large cities and industries that are located upon rivers often make problems. As the
cities grow in size and industries increase in number, the water in the rivers becomes polluted with
chemicals and other materials. People are learning the importance, however, of doing more to keep their
rivers clean if they want to enjoy the benefits (利益) of this natural resource.
B. the Nile
C. the Mekong
D. the Mississippi
B. Almost every country has at least one important river.

In Britain you’re allowed to drive a car when you’re seventeen. You have to get a special two-year driving license before you can start. When you’re learning, someone with a full license always has to be in the car with you because you aren’t allowed to drive the car on the road alone. You don’t have to go to a driving school --- a friend can teach you. The person with you isn’t allowed to take money for the lesson unless he’s got a teacher’s license.
Before you’re allowed to have a full license, you have to take a driving test. You can take a test in your own car, but it has to be fit for the road. In the test you have to drive round for about half an hour and then answer a few questions. If you don’t pass the test, you’re allowed to take it again a few weeks later if you want to. In 1970 a woman passed her fortieth test after 212 driving lessons! When you’ve passed your test, you don’t have to take it again, and you’re allowed to go on driving as long as you like. Britain’s oldest driver was a man who drove in 1974 at the age of 100.
Before 1904 everyone was allowed to drive, even children. Then from 1904 car drivers had to have a license. But they didn’t have to take a test until 1935. On the early days of car driving, before 1878, cars weren’t allowed to go faster than four miles an hour, and someone had to lead the car with a red flag.
