九、阅读理解。
In Hong Kong, all the buses and cars drive on the left side of the road. Before you cross the street, you must look to the right and then to the left. When the traffic lights are red, the traffic must stop and people can cross the zebra crossing. When the traffic lights turn green, the traffic can go and people mustn’t cross the road. There is usually heavy traffic on the road in the morning and in the evening when people go to or come from work. When you want to travel by bus, please always remember the traffic keeps to the left. Have a look first, or you may go the wrong way. In this busy city, there are a lot of big buses with two decks(层). I think it is great to sit on the second deck. From there you can watch the city very well. How interesting!

【分析】
这是一篇介绍香港交通规则与城市交通特点的阅读理解题，解题思路如下：
1. 针对每道小题，先提取题干关键信息，比如第1题的“traffic drives”、第2题的“Before you cross the street”、第3题的“in the morning and in the evening”、第4题的“sit on the...deck of the bus”；
2. 根据关键信息回到原文定位对应句子，仔细对比原文内容与选项，排除不符合的选项，选出正确答案。
【解析】
1. 第1题：根据原文第一句“In Hong Kong, all the buses and cars drive on the left side of the road.”可知，香港的车辆靠道路左侧行驶，对应选项A。
2. 第2题：根据原文“Before you cross the street, you must look to the right and then to the left.”可知，过马路前要先看右边再看左边，对应选项C。
3. 第3题：根据原文“There is usually heavy traffic on the road in the morning and in the evening when people go to or come from work.”，“heavy traffic”表示交通繁忙，说明街道在早晚时段非常忙碌，选项D的“heavy”不能直接描述街道，不符合题意，因此对应选项A。
4. 第4题：根据原文“I think it is great to sit on the second deck. From there you can watch the city very well.”可知，坐在巴士的第二层可以很好地观赏城市，对应选项D。
【答案】
1. A 2. C 3. A 4. D
