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 (改变) 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 (坚持不变者). Several Asian nations, including Japan, use the left as well, though many places use both righthanddrive and lefthanddrive cars.语篇导读：为什么世界上绝大多数国家都靠右行驶？文章讲述了拿破仑在改变交通方向中的主要贡献，同时讲述了一些国家由过去到现在的交通方向变化。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细节理解题。根据第一段倒数第三句中的“.Napoleon brought righthand traffic to the nations he conquered, including Russia, Switzerland and Germany.”可知，人们在瑞士靠右行驶主要是拿破仑给这个国家引进了靠右行驶的交通规则。22Of all the countries below, the one that travels on the right is _.A. Austria B. EnglandC. Japan D. Australia答案：A细节理解题。结合最后一段中的“The UK and former colonies such as Australia and India are among the Western worlds few remaining holdouts (坚持不变者)Several Asian nations, including Japan, use the left as well.”可推知，England, Japan以及Australia车辆都靠左行驶。故选A项。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推理判断题。根据最后一段中括号里面的内容“.the convenience for passengers exiting directly onto the edge, especially.if there is a lady to be considered”可知，亨利福特在车的左边设置操作设置是为了方便乘客。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推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Some say that before the French Revolution, noblemen drove their carriages on the left.”，可知A项错误；由第二段首句得知美国靠右行驶，最后一段提到英国车辆左行，故B项错误；结合最后一段中的“Several Asian nations, including Japan, use the left as well.”，可知D项错误；由最后一段中的“.many countries eventually adjusted to the righthand standard，.Burma in 1970.”可知C项正确。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.语篇导读：全文介绍了五家亚洲最好的机场的各自的特点。25Whats the best title for the passage?A.

Hospitality. B. Surroundings.C. Restaurants. D. Efficiency.答案：D细节理解题。根据香港机场的“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.语篇导读：作者非常喜欢回家路上的蓝色野花，可是因为怕脏，所以一直没有把它们移植过来，直到有一天那些花被别人清理掉了她才后悔。与此同时，她丈夫的姐姐被证实患上癌症，而让作者更伤心的是他们与姐姐的关系一直都没有很亲近，而现在一切都来不及了。故事告诉我们要把握现在，因为时不待我。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细节理解题。根据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细节理解题。根据文章第三段和第四段的描述，作者在春天开始种植花园，而她觉得路上的蓝色野花很漂亮，一直想把它们移植到自己的花园里，故答案为C项。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细节理解题。根据文章第六段第二句“She is 20 years older than my husband.”可知姐姐比丈夫大20岁，而不是姐姐20岁，故选项B是错误的。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主旨大意题。通读全文可知，作者通过两个事例来告诉我们：把握现在，时不待我，故答案为A项。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 (本质上) 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 (潜入) 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.语篇导读：一项研究表明，24小时不间断地用手机会严重危害家人的生活，让生活和工作互相影响，不能分开。你是不是其中的一员呢？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词义推测题。联系划线部分前后的内容尤其是negative“spillover”可推知，不间断地玩手机会产生不好的影响甚至是危害，故damage为正确答案。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推理判断题。根据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提出的办法就是在家里的时候把手机关掉，即把工作时间和生活时间分开。故A项为正确答案。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细节理解题。根据第二段首句“Spillover essentially (本质上) means that the line between work and home begins to bee unclear.”，可知C项正确。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。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 (液体) your body loses overnight, and it supplies instant energy._39_ Without enough of it, your systems have to work harder which can cause tiredness.
