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 of the road. 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(行得通)for the horse to be ridden on the left.A change happened in the late 1700s. When Napoleon(拿破仑)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(例外)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, 2009, 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.50 . Which picture shows the correct driving in Britain?ABCD51 . Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?ASweden changed to drive on the right in 1974.BPeople drive on the left side of the road in Egypt.CPeople have known the exact reasons for driving on the left.DNapoleon helped with the spread of left-hand driving.52 . What is the writers purpose for writing this passage?ATo explain the advantages of the two ways of driving.BTo introduce the development of the two ways of driving.CTo complain about the change of the two ways of driving.DTo compare the differences of the two ways of driving.To many students, joining social media “circles” is now more important than making new friends in real life. And its easy. If you have a mobile phone, you can download many things such as Sina Weibo, QQ and WeChat.“I love to check my friends updates. I also enjoy news and humor shared on social media,” said Wang Wei, 14, from a middle school in Shenzhen. While enjoying these, Wang distances himself from real life. “I love playing the plane-shooting game on WeChat, but have no interest in playing chess with my classmates,” said Wang.Deng Yunyun 14, from Xuhui Middle School in Shanghai, said that social media has influenced their normal life. Last month, his school held a basketball match, and a student hurt his leg. Instead of giving him some help, students were busy with updating WeChat blogs about the accident. “I think they need t learn to balance their real and online lives, and what worries parents and teachers a lot is safety.” said Deng.“Many students are happy to tell their interests and personal information to their social media friends. Andthiscould bring them danger,” said Miss Wang, a teacher from Shenzhen middle school. “For example, the use of WeChats shake-shake allows users to connect to other users nearby. Also police warn about the risks of making friends in this way.“Be careful. Do not use the locating function at any moment, do not give your name, and do not post the photos of your community,” said Wang.53 . Why did nobody offer help when a student hurt his leg?ABecause his classmates were busy sharing their update.BBecause his classmates didnt look him as their friends.CBecause he didnt belong to their social media circles.DBecause there were few students there at that moment.54 . The underlined word this in the fourth paragraph refers to_.Athe use of Wechats shake-shakeBhaving no interest in playing chess with friendsCpaying too much attention to their social media circles.Dsharing personal information with their social media friends.55 . What is the main idea of the passage?AThe use of Wechats shake-shake adds risks of making friends on line.BWarn students not to use Wechats locating function in case of danger.CWechat keeps students away from real life and also may bring them danger.DJoining social media circles is more important than making friends in real life.I left my hometown in London last year and now I have enjoyed working in this small city in China. Learning a foreign language opens you up to the culture and history of a country. So in order to know more about China, I started to learn Chinese. But at times, I found myself in funny situations. When I greeted strangers in China, they began to talk a lot and very fast. They asked me questions about everything. But all I could do was to look at them with a blank face. I had no idea what they were talking about. Were they just being kind, funny or impolite? Many people want to make friends with me. But I am a bit upset when I find out the reason why they need a foreign friend. They say they want to practice their English. I dont need friends like this. I like friends to share my feelings and ideas with.However, the more Chinese I learn, the more similarities I find it has with English. In English, thick-skinned is to describe a person who doesnt care for criticism (批评). I was surprised to find that houlianpi in Chinese means the same. And both languages share some common idioms (习语). For example, “look on with folded arms” means xiushoupangguan, and “burn the boats” is similar to pofuchenzhou.Im still on my journey to learn Chinese. I believe that sometimes you have the most fun on a journey.56 . Many Chinese want to make friends with the writer because.Athey are interested in Western cultureBthey want a partner to practice English withCthey are willing to share feelings and ideas with himDthey want to help foreigners with their Chinese57 . The underlined word “similarities” means “_” in Chinese.A相似点B不同点C规律性D重要性58 . A thick-skinned person may _.Abe very strong and seldom fall illBlike to criticize others for their mistakesCtalk a lot and speak fastDfeel OK when hes criticized59 . If there would be a paragraph before the last paragraph of the text, it most probably would be about _.Athe reasons why he wants to learn ChineseBthe similarities Chinese and English shareCthe differences between Chinese and EnglishDthe importance of learning Chinese and English五、填写适当的单词补全句子用适当的介词或副词填空60 .
