Here is a list of some important differences.Speed LimitsSpeed limits are designated in miles per hour (MPH), not kilometers.One mile equals 1.6093 kilometers.Within cities the speed limit is usually 25 mph.Major streets with two or more lines may post a higher limit of 35 mph, but you should assume a 25 mph limit unless you see a sign with a higher limit.Highways have a speed limit of 55 mph, with some interstate highways posting a higher limit of 65 mph.Fines for speeding are heavy and can result in higher insurance fees and license suspension (扣留)Driving on the RightUnlike the UK, some countries in Asia, and in Australia, in the United States cars drive on the right side of the road, and steering wheels (方向盘) are located on the left side of the car.Even if you dont drive a car, you need to be aware of this rule.Every year a few international students are hit by cars because they step off the roadsides into the path of oncoming traffic.On most streets cars will be coming from your left, not your right.InsuranceMost states require you to maintain certain minimum levels of insurance on your car in case you are involved in an accident.The insurance covers your liability (责任) for damage to other cars and injuries caused to all the people involved in the accident.We strongly recommend getting insurance that covers more than the legal minimum.You can also get collision (碰撞) insurance to cover the cost of fixing your car and theft insurance in case the car is stolen, but this is only worthwhile for a new car or a model of recent years.If you dont have car insurance, you wont be able to register the car.语篇解读：没有规矩，不成方圆。在美国开车可得悠着点儿。限速是多少？开车靠哪边？如何办保险？入乡要随俗，习惯成自然。1When driving in an American city, youd better limit your speed within about _.A25 mph B35 mphC55 mph D65 mph解析：选A。细节理解题。根据“Speed Limits”中第三句的内容可知当你开车行驶在美国的城市里时，最好将车速限制在每小时25英里左右。2If you drive beyond the speed limits, youll _.Abe sent into prisonBget no car insuranceChave to pay much moneyDbe taken to the police station解析：选C。细节理解题。根据“Speed Limits”中最后一句的内容可知如果超速行驶，驾车者须付巨额罚金，驾照也会被扣留。3We learn from the passage that international students in America _.Aalways drive cars on the leftBcan hardly afford to have their own carsCknow about the rules clearlyDshould pay more attention to the rules解析：选D。推理判断题。根据“Driving on the Right”中第二段第二句可推知在美国的外国留学生应该多注意交通规则。4Which car insurance should you get in order to save your money to repair your car?ALiability insurance.
