Moab Music FestivalBThere are two ways of driving in the world: if the drivers seat is on the left and cars travel on the right side of the road, it is called “left-hand driving”, as it is in China, while the other way of driving is called “right-hand driving”, as it is in Britain. Nowadays, around 65% of the worlds population drives on the right of the road, while the rest is used to driving on the left. Though no one knows the exact reasons, it seems likely that people in ancient times travelled on the left. Roman coins show pictures of horsemen passing on each others right. And right-hand people generally got on a horse from the animals left. Obviously, its safer to do this at the left side of the road, and it makes sense for the horse to be ridden on the left.A change happened in the late 1700s. When Napoleon conquered(攻占) nations, he forced them to travel on the right side of the road, which spread left-hand driving throughout Europe. However, Britain still stuck with the right-hand driving rule and countries which were part of the British Empire were made to follow. This is why India, Australia and the former British colonies(前英国殖民地) in Africa continue to drive on the left. One exception is Egypt, as that country was defeated(打败) by Napoleon before becoming part of the British Empire. Some countries changed sides until modern times. Sweden only moved to driving on the right in 1967 and Iceland changed the following year. Ghana changed sides in 1974. On September 7, 2020, Samoa became the third country ever to change from left-to-right-hand driving for the reason that it made it easier to import (进口) cheap cars from right-hand driving Japan, Australia and New Zealand.So if you want to travel to another country or go on business, make sure you know whether it is left-or right-hand driving to avoid unnecessary troubles.44. Which picture shows the correct driving in Britain?A B C D 45. In ancient times, Romans _.A. travelled on the right B. rode past each others right C. got on the horses from the right D. behaved as they liked46. In modern times, countries follow the same driving way except _.A. Australia B. Egypt. C. Sweden D. China 47. What is the writers purpose for writing this passage?A. To explain the advantages of the two ways of driving.B. To compare the differences of the two ways of driving.C. To complain about the change of the two ways of driving.D. To introduce the development of the two ways of driving.CFree energy is everywhere around us. There are many ways to make and collect energy from various sources like sun, wind and water. People also realize that everyday stuff can be a source of energy too. For example, riding a bike, running or just walking, etc. We simply have to change our way of thinking if we want to change the world. So comes the idea of solar（太阳的） roadways. Are they the road of future? Why use roads just for driving and collecting tolls (过路费)? Why dont we use them for collecting energy? The US Department of Transportation recently awarded $100,000 to Solar Roadways to build the first ever Solar Road Panel. So how do these future roads work? The Solar Road Panels will contain embedded (嵌入的) LEDs which “paint” the road lines from beneath to provide safer nighttime driving as well as to give drivers instant instructions such as detour (绕行) ahead. The road will be able to sense wildlife on the road and can warn drivers to “slow down”. There will also be embedded heating elements in the surface to prevent snow and ice buildup, providing safer winter driving. Replacing asphalt (沥青) roads and parking lots with Solar Roadway Panels will be a major step toward stopping climate change. Fully electric vehicles will be able to recharge along the roadway and in parking lots, finally making electric cars practical for long trips. We just cant wait to see more of these roads all over the world in the near future. 48. The first paragraph serves as a(n) _. A. background B. comment C. explanationD. argument49. When some animals are on the solar road, what will the road do? A. Guide them to a safer place.B. Remind drivers to drive slowly.C. Frighten them away from the road.D. Advise drivers to choose another way.50. From the text, we can know that the Solar Road Panels can _. A. provide heat for drivers in winter B. melt snow and ice soon in winter C. guide drivers who get lost on the highway D. help drivers see the road clearly in the sun51. What is the text mainly about? A. Functions of the road in the future. B. Development of solar energy. C. Free energy on the road. D. Solar road of the future.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，选项中有两项为多余选项。52_ Many students feel stressed around big moments in their lives like during final exams or when applying to college.

And at the age of 100, she has been recognized as the oldest yoga teacher in the world. She has been teaching yoga in a gym in her hometown, full-time, since 1967. But thats not all shes done. She has also been a model, actress and dancer. She became a model after she graduated from high school. She acted in more than ten fields. She won a lot of medals as a dancer in many competitions. She once said, “If you try your best and never give up, nothing is impossible.” And she is a firm believer in positive thinking. She dreams the impossible dreams, and she is also well known as a thinker. Tao Porchon-Lynch is not the person who talks the talk; she is the person who walks the walk. When she makes up her mind to do something, she takes action to do it without delay. At the age of 85, she learned how to dance and even won several dance competitions. She offers this piece of advice to others, “Dont put off till tomorrow what you can do today. Dont delay. Tomorrow never comes.”So, what about retirement? At 98, she is well past the age when many people make retirement plans. Retiring, it turns out, is not Taos style. “A little girl, who is only 6 years old and is now learning yoga with me, once asked me, Dear granny, what are you going to do when you retire?” Tao Porchon-Lynch told the little girl that she had no plans to retire but instead would continue to teach yoga and dance her way to next planet.65.What is Tao Porchon-Lynchs job now? _66.What is Tao Porchon-Lynchs secret of success in so many fields? _67.What is Tao Porchon-Lynchs following plan now?
