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 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.24. Which picture shows the correct driving in Britain?A B C D25. In ancient times, Romans _.A. travelled on the right B. rode past each others rightC. got on the horses from the right D. behaved as they liked26. In modern times, countries follow the same driving way except _.A. Australia B. Egypt. C. Sweden D. China27. 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.CIf English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Havent you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language? According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles. The study also found the effect is greater when the younger people learn a second language. A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners. Scans showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference. “Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible (灵活的),” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.” The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of two and thirty-four. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.28. The main subject talked about in this passage is _.A. science on learning a second language B. mans ability of learning a second languageB. C. language learning and maths studyD. that second language can help brain power29.The underlined word “bilingual” probably means _. A.a second language learnerB. a person who can speak two languages C. a researcher on language learningD. an active language learner30.We may know from the scientific findings that _.A. the earlier you start to learn a second language, the higher the grey matter density isB. there is no difference between a later second language learner and one who doesnt know asecond languageC. the experience of learning a second language has bad effects on peoples brainD. the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time第二节 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。选项中有两选项为多余选项。（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）Taking good notes is a time-saving skill that will help you to become a better student in several ways. 31 Second, your notes are excellent materials to refer to when you are studying for a test.
