题目解答
答案
加拿大地广人稀，北部地区多为偏远地带，缺乏公路和铁路网络。飞机可直达这些区域，满足交通需求，而其他选项均未准确反映核心原因。A项未提及飞行高度的重要性，B项不符合加拿大航空运输以客运为主的特点，C项与“新旧”无关，D项最能体现飞机在加拿大交通中的关键作用。
答案：D. because they can go to some areas that cannot be reached by other transports
解析
本题考查对加拿大交通特点的理解，需结合地理知识分析。关键点在于加拿大地广人稀，北部地区多为偏远地带，公路和铁路网络不发达。飞机作为交通工具，能直接连接这些区域，满足交通需求。其他选项（如飞行高度、货运效率、运输形式新旧）均未准确反映飞机在加拿大交通中的核心作用。
选项分析
A. because they can fly very high
- 飞机飞行高度并非加拿大交通依赖飞机的核心原因，题目未提及高空飞行的优势，排除。
B. because they can carry larger freight to the destination within shorter time
- 加拿大航空运输以客运为主，货运并非主要需求，且其他运输方式（如卡车、铁路）也能高效货运，排除。
C. because they are the newest form of transport
- 飞机并非“最新”的运输形式（如高速铁路等更新技术存在），且“新旧”与交通需求无关，排除。
D. because they can go to some areas that cannot be reached by other transports
- 加拿大北部地区地广人稀，缺乏公路和铁路，飞机是唯一能快速到达这些偏远区域的交通工具，直接满足交通需求，符合题意。
