Question

阅读下面短文，根据短文中的信息完成文后表格。在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。(每空一词)

More and more Chinese would like to travel to the USA and prefer to drive by themselves. They need to know something about driving in America, which will be helpful to them and bring a happy holiday to them.

Keep Right

The traffic follows the “keep right rule”. While driving, drive on the right side of the road, which is completely different from that in Britain. On one-way, multiple lanes(车道) road, the right-most lane would be slowest and left-most lane is fastest.

Hand Signals

Though indicators(指示灯) are used for the purpose of showing which direction you are going, knowing some hand signals is very important and they are always asked in a driving test. When you want to turn right, you can put your left hand out of the window and point upward. When you want to make a left turn, you can reach your left arm out of the window and point to the left. If you want to slow down or stop, you can just point downward.

School Buses

Yellow school buses have flashing red lights and stop signs that reach out from the driver’s side. The drivers use these warning signals when letting pupils on and off. No matter which side of the road you are traveling on, if you come upon(偶遇) a school bus with its lights flashing and a stop sign used, you must stop. It’s the law. Remain stopped until the lights stop flashing or the stop sign is removed.

Using the Horn

Using horns is not common in America. Actually they are very rarely used. You may use your horn to warn walkers or other drivers of possible trouble or to avoid accidents. Do not use your horn to express anger or complain about other drivers’ mistakes or to try to get a slow driver to move faster.

文章大意：本文在越来越多中国人趋于去美国自驾游的背景下，介绍了一些很有必要的需要注意的一些交通规则，例如靠右行驶，还有一些基本的手势信号，遇到校车的注意事项最后介绍了喇叭的使用准则。通过4个方面告诉了大家一些需要留意的地方，也是一些不同于国内交通规则的地方。

1.根据：“They need to know something about driving in America, which will be helpful to them and bring a happy holiday to them. 他们需要了解一些关于在美国开车的知识，这将对他们有帮助，并给他们带来一个快乐的假期。”可知，这篇是讲关于美国交通的知识，故填：America。

2.根据：“More and more Chinese would like to travel to the USA and prefer to drive by themselves. They need to know something about driving in America, which will be helpful to them and bring a happy holiday to them. 越来越多的中国人想去美国旅游，并且喜欢自己开车。他们需要了解一些关于在美国开车的知识，这将对他们有帮助，并给他们带来一个快乐的假期。”，所欲这应该是他们学习交通知识的理由，故填：reason(s)。

3.根据：“More and more Chinese would like to travel to the USA and prefer to drive by themselves.”，可知越来越多的中国人更喜欢自己开车旅游。故填：prefer。

7.根据：“On one-way, multiple lanes(车道) road, the right-most lane would be slowest and left-most lane is fastest. 在单向、多车道的道路上，最右边的车道最慢，最左侧的车道最快。”，可知可以在左侧的车道的比右车道开的更快，故填：faster。

8.根据：“knowing some hand signals is very important and they are always asked in a driving test. 知道一些手势是非常重要的，他们总是在驾驶考试中被要求。”，观察题干，这里应该缺少一个名词应该用important的名词形式，故填：importance。

9.根据：“It’s the law. Remain stopped until the lights stop flashing or the stop sign is removed. 这是法律。保持停止，直到灯停止闪烁或停车标志被移除。”，可知如果司机在遇到一辆校车的灯在闪烁，并使用了停车标志时不停车，是违法的，故填：against。

10.根据：“Do not use your horn to express anger or complain about other drivers’mistakes or to try to get a slow driver to move faster.不要用你的喇叭来表达愤怒或抱怨其他司机的错误，或试图让一个缓慢的司机走得更快。”，“of”接名词，动词ing,代词，故填：expressing。
