Theories differ, but theres no doubt Napoleon was a major influence. The French have used the right since at least the late 18th century. Some say that before the French Revolution, noblemen drove their carriages on the left, forcing the peasants to the right. Regardless of the origin, Napoleon brought righthand traffic to the nations he conquered, including Russia, Switzerland and Germany. Hitler, in turn, ordered righthand traffic in Czechoslovakia and Austria in the 1930s. Nations that escaped righthand control, like Great Britain, followed their lefthand tradition.The US. has not always been a nation of righthand drivers; earlier in its history, carriage and horse traffic travelled on the left, as it did in England. But by the late 1700s, people driving large wagons pulled by several pairs of horses began promoting a shift (改變) to the right. A driver would sit on the rear (后面的) left horse in order to wave his whip (鞭子) with his right hand; to see opposite traffic clearly, they travelled on the right.One of the final moves to firmly standardize traffic directions in the US. occurred in the 20th century，when Henry Ford decided to massproduce his cars with controls on the left (one reason, stated in 1908: the convenience for passengers exiting directly onto the edge, especially. if there is a lady to be considered). Once these rules were set, many countries eventually adjusted to the righthand standard, including Canada in the 1920s, Sweden in 1967 and Burma in 1970. The UK and former colonies such as Australia and India are among the Western worlds few remaining holdouts (堅(jiān)持不變者). Several Asian nations, including Japan, use the left as well, though many places use both righthanddrive and lefthanddrive cars.語(yǔ)篇導(dǎo)讀：為什么世界上絕大多數(shù)國(guó)家都靠右行駛？文章講述了拿破侖在改變交通方向中的主要貢獻(xiàn)，同時(shí)講述了一些國(guó)家由過(guò)去到現(xiàn)在的交通方向變化。21Why did people in Switzerland travel on the right?A. They had used the righthand traffic since the 18th century.B. Rich people enjoyed driving their carriages on the right.C. Napoleon introduced the righthand traffic to this country.D. Hitler ordered them to go against their lefthand tradition.答案：C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段倒數(shù)第三句中的“.Napoleon brought righthand traffic to the nations he conquered, including Russia, Switzerland and Germany.”可知，人們?cè)谌鹗靠坑倚旭傊饕悄闷苼鼋o這個(gè)國(guó)家引進(jìn)了靠右行駛的交通規(guī)則。22Of all the countries below, the one that travels on the right is _.A. Austria B. EnglandC. Japan D. Australia答案：A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。結(jié)合最后一段中的“The UK and former colonies such as Australia and India are among the Western worlds few remaining holdouts (堅(jiān)持不變者)Several Asian nations, including Japan, use the left as well.”可推知，England, Japan以及Australia車輛都靠左行駛。故選A項(xiàng)。23Henry Ford produced cars with controls on the left _.A. in order to change traffic directions in the US.B. so that passengers could get off convenientlyC. because rules at that time werent perfectD. though many countries were strongly against that答案：B推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中括號(hào)里面的內(nèi)容“.the convenience for passengers exiting directly onto the edge, especially.if there is a lady to be considered”可知，亨利福特在車的左邊設(shè)置操作設(shè)置是為了方便乘客。24According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Before the French Revolution, all the French people used the right.B. People in Britain and the US. travel on the same side nowadays.C. The Burmese began to travel on the right in 1970.D. All the Asian nations use the left at present.答案：C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中的“Some say that before the French Revolution, noblemen drove their carriages on the left.”，可知A項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；由第二段首句得知美國(guó)靠右行駛，最后一段提到英國(guó)車輛左行，故B項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；結(jié)合最后一段中的“Several Asian nations, including Japan, use the left as well.”，可知D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；由最后一段中的“.many countries eventually adjusted to the righthand standard，.Burma in 1970.”可知C項(xiàng)正確。BDepending on where you travel in Asia, you will probably stop in at least one of these airports at some point. For the record, they are the very best Asia has to offer. Incheon (ICN)Its no secret that Incheon is the best. In fact, its probably the most agreed upon choice for favorite airport by frequent flyers to Asia. Singapore (SIN)The airport in Singapore relies heavily on the hospitality (殷勤) of the men and women who work there. Everyone is held to the highest level of excellence. They demand it from their employees because they know the traveller demands excellence. Hong Kong (HKG)Hong Kong International Airport is the 14th highest ranked airport in the world. Its known for its efficiency both in arrival times and departures, and delivering the right luggage at the right baggage claim.Thats a big deal when time counts and you need your bags right away. Central Japan (NGO)Being number 3 in the world isnt as good as being number 1 or 2. But it is better than being number 4.Central Japan International Airport was constructed on the Bay of Ise. Its location, surroundings, and the actual 5star restaurants make this standout. Taipei (TPE)The international Taipei Airport of Taiwan Taoyuan is located, naturally, in Taiwan. It features both modernity and a touch of oldworld charm with shops and restaurants.Go to the authentic (可靠的) Korean restaurant at ICN. Or shop at a designer store at TPE; either way, the best airports are the ones people want to be in, not because they have to be there, but because they want to be.語(yǔ)篇導(dǎo)讀：全文介紹了五家亞洲最好的機(jī)場(chǎng)的各自的特點(diǎn)。25Whats the best title for the passage?A. Best Airports in AsiaB. Different Airports in AsiaC. Essentials for Best AirportsD. Good Airport Management in Asia答案：A主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段的“For the record，they are the very best Asia has to offer.”可知全文談的是亞洲最好的五個(gè)機(jī)場(chǎng)。26The airport of Incheon is located in _.A. China B. KoreaC. Japan D. Singapore答案：B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段的“Go to the authentic Korean restaurant at ICN.”可知答案。27The airport in Singapore is regarded as one of the favorite airports because _.A. it is the 14th highest ranked airport in the worldB. employees there have friendly behaviour towards visitorsC. it was constructed on the Bay of Ise with beautiful surroundingsD. employees there can offer delicious food and fortable travel答案：B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)新加坡機(jī)場(chǎng)的“The airport in Singapore relies heavily on the hospitality of the men and women who work there.”可知，A、C項(xiàng)不是該機(jī)場(chǎng)的特點(diǎn)；該機(jī)場(chǎng)沒(méi)有提到食品。故選B項(xiàng)。28What is Hong Kong International Airport famous for?A. Hospitality. B. Surroundings.C. Restaurants. D. Efficiency.答案：D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)香港機(jī)場(chǎng)的“Its known for its efficiency.”可知答案。CEach spring brings a new wildflower blooming in the fields along the highway I travel daily to work.There is one particular blue flower that has always caught my eye. Ive noticed that it blooms only in the morning hours. The afternoon sun is too warm for it. Every day each year for about two weeks, I see those beautiful flowers.This spring, I started a wildflower garden in my yard. I can look out of the kitchen window while doing the dishes and see the flowers. Ive often thought that those lovely blue flowers from the fields would look great in that bed alongside other wildflowers.Every day I drove past the flowers, thinking, “Ill stop on my way home and dig them.”“Gee, I dont want to get my good clothes dirty.”Whatever the reason, I never stopped digging them. My husband even gave me a tool one year for that expressed purpose.One day on my way home from work, I was saddened to see that the highway department had cleared up the fields and the pretty blue flowers were gone. I thought to myself，“Way to go, you waited too long. You should have done it when you first saw them blooming this spring.”A week ago we were shocked and saddened to learn that my oldest sisterinlaw has a cancer. She is 20 years older than my husband and unfortunately, because of age and distance, we havent been as close as we all would have liked.I couldnt help but see the connection between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my husbands sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time left to plant some wonderful memories that will bloom every year for us.And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, Im sure Ill stop and transplant them to my wildflower garden.語(yǔ)篇導(dǎo)讀：作者非常喜歡回家路上的藍(lán)色野花，可是因?yàn)榕屡K，所以一直沒(méi)有把它們移植過(guò)來(lái)，直到有一天那些花被別人清理掉了她才后悔。與此同時(shí)，她丈夫的姐姐被證實(shí)患上癌癥，而讓作者更傷心的是他們與姐姐的關(guān)系一直都沒(méi)有很親近，而現(xiàn)在一切都來(lái)不及了。故事告訴我們要把握現(xiàn)在，因?yàn)闀r(shí)不待我。29How long might the blue flower bloom in spring?A. About two weeks. B. The whole season.C. About one week. D. The whole day.答案：A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段最后一句“Every day each year for about two weeks, I see those beautiful flowers.”可知答案。30Where did the writer want to transplant the flowers?AAcross the fields. BAlong the highway.CIn the garden. DOutside the yard.答案：C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段和第四段的描述，作者在春天開(kāi)始種植花園，而她覺(jué)得路上的藍(lán)色野花很漂亮，一直想把它們移植到自己的花園里，故答案為C項(xiàng)。31Which of the following is NOT true about the writers sisterinlaw?A. She is seriously ill.B. She is twenty years old.C. She lives far away from the writer.D. She is not in close touch with the writer.答案：B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第六段第二句“She is 20 years older than my husband.”可知姐姐比丈夫大20歲，而不是姐姐20歲，故選項(xiàng)B是錯(cuò)誤的。32What does the writer want to tell us?A. Value now and dont lose chances.B. Visit our relatives only after they get ill.C. Refresh our wonderful moments every year.D. Plant flowers and dont enjoy them in the field.答案：A主旨大意題。通讀全文可知，作者通過(guò)兩個(gè)事例來(lái)告訴我們：把握現(xiàn)在，時(shí)不待我，故答案為A項(xiàng)。DA new study suggests that the roundthe clock availability that cell phones have brought to peoples lives may take_a_toll_on family life. The study, which had followed more than 1,300 adults over 2 years, found that those who consistently used a mobile phone throughout the study period were more likely to report negative“spillover”between work and home lifeand in turn, less satisfaction with their family life.Spillover essentially (本質(zhì)上) means that the line between work and home begins to bee unclear.Work life may invade home life when a parent is taking jobrelated calls at home, for instance, or family issues may start to take up work time. For example, a child may call mum at work, telling her “microwave exploded”， explained Noelle Chesley, an assistant professor of sociology at the University of WisconsinMilwaukee and the author of the study. The problem with cell phones seems to be that they are allowing for even more spillover between work and home.This may be especially true for working women, the study found. Among men, consistent use of mobile phones seemed to allow more work issues to creep (潛入) into family time. But for women, the spillover tended to go in both directions. Being “connected” meant that work cut into home time, and family issues came into work life.Cell phones seem to be opening more lines for stressful exchanges among family members. But there may be ways to control the spillover, according to Chesley. Employers, she said, could look at their policies on contacting employees after hours to make sure their expectations are “reasonable”. For their part, employees could decide that cell phones go off during family time, Chesley said.語(yǔ)篇導(dǎo)讀：一項(xiàng)研究表明，24小時(shí)不間斷地用手機(jī)會(huì)嚴(yán)重危害家人的生活，讓生活和工作互相影響，不能分開(kāi)。你是不是其中的一員呢？33What does the underlined phrase “take a toll on”probably mean in Paragraph 1?A. Explaining. B. Founding.C. Extending. D. Damaging.答案：D詞義推測(cè)題。聯(lián)系劃線部分前后的內(nèi)容尤其是negative“spillover”可推知，不間斷地玩手機(jī)會(huì)產(chǎn)生不好的影響甚至是危害，故damage為正確答案。34According to Chesley, what is the best solution to the problem caused by cell phones?A. Separate work hours from family time.B. Refuse to use cell phones.C. Ignore ing calls during family time.D. Encourage women to stay at home.答案：A推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段最后一句中的“For their part, employees could decide that cell phones go off during family time，”可知，Chesley提出的辦法就是在家里的時(shí)候把手機(jī)關(guān)掉，即把工作時(shí)間和生活時(shí)間分開(kāi)。故A項(xiàng)為正確答案。35We can learn from the passage that _.A. cell phones affect men as much as womenB. cell phones seem to be convenient to familiesC. cell phones make the line between work and home unclearD. we can do nothing to solve the problem答案：C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段首句“Spillover essentially (本質(zhì)上) means that the line between work and home begins to bee unclear.”，可知C項(xiàng)正確。第二節(jié)(共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分)根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。What you do in the hour after you get up can help you look and feel your best for the rest of the day._36_Get energy with colorWhen you open your eyes, seeing a bright color helps you clear your head and get ready for a new day._37_ You can even make breakfast colorful and healthful by pouring yourself a glass of strawberry or orange juice. _38_Drinking a big glass of water as soon as you get up is a good way to provide the fluid (液體) your body loses overnight, and it supplies instant energy._39_ Without enough of it, your systems have to work harder which can cause tiredness.
