  • 1. (2022·云南模拟) 根据短文内容,选择最佳答案。

    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.
