I think it will be a good idea to learn now because I have plenty of free time and am earning a little money to pay for lessons. I never learnt when I lived in the UK, so luckily driving on the “wrong” side isnt a problem.However, there are a lot of rules to remember. When you see a road to your right and there are no white lines on the ground, the cars to your right have the right to go before your car and you have to stop for them. In practice, lots of people forget this and cars either wait for each other while both drivers try to remember what to do, or beep (鸣喇叭) at each other if both try to go at the same time!When you drive round a roundabout, you should check all your mirrors. To remember how to do this, I often count them aloudone, two, threethen a second glance at your blind spot when youre in the roundabout. One friend came driving with me and after about an hour asked why on earth I was counting. He had passed his test so long ago, he couldnt remember ever having to check three mirrors!Driving still seems scary to me so I drive quite slowly. I also dont know the countryside roads very well and dont know whats coming up round the comer or over the next hill. I drive slowly so I feel safe, but my driving instructor tells me to speed up or cars will bump into me from behind or try to overtake somewhere dangerous. So driving slowly is just as dangerous as driving fast!Im not a very practical person so learning to drive has been a challenge. I dont have a lot of confidence and find it quite demotivating to do something that doesnt come naturally to me. To make driving more fun and interesting, I learn in Swiss German, so my instructor gives me instructions in Swiss. This way Ive tricked myself into enjoying driving and hopefully will pass the test!21.What can be inferred from the first paragraph?A. It isnt a proper time for the author to take driving lessons now.B. Driving on the “wrong side” doesnt influence the author.C. The author was too poor to pay for driving lessons in Switzerland.D. It is easy for the author to get confused about the driving rules in Switzerland.22.The author often counts “one, two, three” aloud when driving round a roundabout to _.A. remind himself to check the mirrors B. speed upC. overtake somewhere dangerous D. make driving more interesting23.What does the underlined word “demotivating” in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Encouraging. B. Amazing.C. Exciting. D. Discouraging.24.What is the text mainly about?A. Driving speed.B. Strict driving instructors.C. Anecdotes of my driving experience.D. Complicated driving rules in Switzerland.BOver the past century, an alarming number of animals have become endangered or even extinct. Below are some animals whose numbers have been rapidly dropping in recent years.Panda BearOne of the biggest reasons contributing to the decline in the panda species is the destruction of its natural habitat. Farmers in China have gradually been claiming more and more of the land. As a result, pandas are forced to move away to places where it is hard to find bamboo for food.Green TurtleThe green sea turtle species has survived for several millions of years, so you might wonder why its only becoming endangered now. A major cause is the change in climate and temperature, which both affect the hatching rates of turtle eggs. Climate changes also cause violent weather and rising water levels to flood areas where turtles usually go to lay their eggs. Apart from this, oil spills and other poisonous pollution, as well as increased fishing activities can cause sickness, or even death to the green turtles.CheetahCheetahs are famous for being the fastest animal on land but even they cant run from some of the larger threats that have harmed them. Like the panda bears, cheetahs have gradually been losing their natural homes due to humans claiming land and developing in those areas. To make matters even worse, smaller animals move away when these areas are occupied, which means that the cheetah has less food! Dont forget that other large animals, such as lions, are also fighting for any food that they can find, so occasionally young cheetahs end up as prey too.Indian ElephantElephants are extremely intelligent animals and also the largest mammals that live on land. Sadly, in Asia many elephants were killed so that people could remove their tusks to use as decorative objects. While this practice has been banned now, some people still illegally continue. Forests in India have also been steadily destroyed and elephants are sometimes killed when they end up on human territory.25.Humans increasing demand for land doesnt affect the number of _.A. Indian elephants B. cheetahsC. panda bears D. green turtles26.We can save the largest mammals living on land by _.A. planting more bamboosB. helping them find matesC. stopping hunting themD. preventing poisonous pollution27.The living conditions of the fastest animal on land become worse because _.A. forests have been destroyedB. they are threatened by humans and larger animalsC. people are fond of hunting wild animalsD. no law bans people from removing their tusksCEveryone knows that if a dogs ears are up and its tail is wagging energetically, it is definitely pleased to see you. but now scientists using a robot have found that the way dogs use their tails is more complicated th an we thought, and that dogs which wag them to the left may he more friendly. The animal psychologists discovered that when real dogs approached a life-sized robot dog, they were less cautious about it when it was wagging its tail to the left, while if it was wagging its tail to the right, far fewer dogs approached it in a confident manner.In the first experiments, 56 percent of the animals approached the model without hesitation when the tail was wagged to the left, while only 21 percent did so in the other situation. When the researchers excluded(排除)owners from being present, the result were: 31 percent of the dogsapproached continuously when the tail was wagging to the left, while only 18 percent did so when it was on the right.Animal psychologist Roger Mugford said it added to the growing evidence that does were even more complicated comm unicators than the animals more closely related to man such as monkeys. He said, “We know that dogs, in a sense, have languages, but it is more complicated because it is not just them wagging their tails, but also giving out chemical displays.”He adds, “The research confirms earlier studies suggesting that dogs, like humans, had a left-side preference. If you are going to present a signal to a dog, it is sensible to put it on your left-hand side because that is where dogs, unlike most other animals, tend to look. It is another example of the similarity betwe en dogs and humans. They are a lot more human than we give them credit for.”28.What does it tell us if a dog wags its tail to the right?A. It was very energetic B. It was in a bad moodC. It might be unfriendly D. It must be confident29.What can be inferred from the second paragraph?A. Some dogs approach the robot dog confidentlyB. Most dogs were afraid to approach the robot dogC. Some dogs lack confidence with their owners presentD. Dog owners may influence the behaviour of their pets30.What can we learn from animal psychologists experiments?A. Dogs can communicate more than human beingsB. Dogs have more complicated emotions than monkeysC. Dogs tail-wagging conveys more information than previously believedD. Dogs intelligence can be much higher than any other kind of animal31.What can we infer from Roger Mugfords words?A. The Left-side preference should be studied furtherB. Dogs have more in common with humans than we thinkC. No other animals show the left-side preference except dogsD. Dogs have a more complicated language than we people doDThe Amazing Penguin RescueThe summer of 2016, the ship MV Treasure sunk, creating an oil spill. Thirteen hundred tons of fuel oil were flowing right in the middle of the African Penguins habitat. Soon the oil covered about 20,000 penguins. Without swift help, the seabirds would have no chance for survival. Volunteers were showing up by the thousands and I also took part in what was the largest animal rescue operation ever.A warehouse was turned into a rescue center near the habitat and hundreds of pools were built to hold about 100 oiled birds each. When walking into the center, I couldnt believe my ears. I had expected to walk into a chorus of honking and squawking(叫声). Instead, the center sounded like a library. The penguins were dead silent. My heart ached for the painful birds. Cleaning them all seemed like an impossible task. But we had to carry on like doctors in an emergency room. There was no time for doubt. Cleaning oil off a penguin wasnt easy. Even with more than 12,500 volunteers, it took a month to bathe all 20,000 birds at the center.While volunteers were busy bathing the oiled penguins, another crisis (危机) was developing. Oil from the spill had started moving north. Tens of thousands of penguins were in the oils path. But we already had our hands full with 20,000 recovering birds. If any more birds were oiled, we wouldnt have enough resources to save them.One researcher came up with an idea: What if the penguins were temporarily moved out of harms way? Experts decided to have a try. Volunteers rounded up the penguins and released them 500 miles away. The hope was that by the time the seabirds swam home, the oil would be gone. The plan worked! Another 20,000 penguins were saved.The entire penguin rescue took about three months. More than 90% of the oiled penguins were successfully returned to the wild. Looking back on the rescue, I am still amazed by the work of the volunteers. What I could hardly believe was that we accomplished an impossible task.32.The African penguins were in danger because of _.A. a knock by a ship B. a spill of oilC. a change of habitats D. a lack of help33.When walking into the rescue center, the author felt _.A. ambitious B. hopelessC. shocked D. inspired34.The crisis was ended by _.A. stopping the flow of the oilB. cleaning the polluted habitatC. asking more volunteers to helpD. moving the penguins from home35.The author mainly intends to tell us that _.A. many hands make great workB. where there is a will there is a wayC. the future of wildlife is in our handsD. unite to make the earth pollution-free第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。In the 60s, people asked about your astrological (about star) sign. In the 90s, they want to know your website. 36. Your website is an electronic meeting place for your family, friends and potentially, millions of people around the world. Best of all, you may not have to spend a cent. The Web is filled with all kinds of free services and all it takes is some time and creativity.37. Like the table of contents of a book or magazine, the home page is the front door. Your site can have one or more pages, depending on how you design it.While web pages vary greatly in their design and content, most use a traditional magazine layout(版面设计).
