About a quarter of the world drives on the left, and the countries that do are mostly old British colonies (殖民地) like Australia, and Ireland. But Thailand, Indonesia and Japan also do so.
This strange quirk (奇事) puzzles the rest of the world; however, there is a perfectly good reason. Up to the late 1700's, everybody traveled on the left side of the road because it's the most sensible option for feudal (封建的), violent societies with mostly right-handed people. Soldiers with their swords under their right arm naturally passed on each other's right, and if you passed a stranger on the road you walked on the left to ensure that your protective sword arm was between yourself and him.
Revolutionary France, however, overturned this practice as part of its sweeping social rethink. A change was carried out all over continental Europe by Napoleon. It changed under Napoleon because he was left-handed and his armies had to march on the right so he could keep his sword arm between him and any opponent. From then on, any part colonised by the French travelled on the right.
After the American Revolutionary War (1775 -1783), the US became independent and decided to make traffic drive on the right in order to cast off all remaining links with its British colonial past. As America became, the center of the car industry, if you wanted a good reliable vehicle, you bought American right-hand-drive cars. From then on many countries changed out of necessity.
Today, the other European countries would like Britain to fall into line with the rest of Europe, but this is no longer possible. It would cost billions of pounds to change everything round. The last European country to change driving on the right was Sweden in 1967. While everyone was getting used to the new system, they paid more attention and took more care, resulting in a reduction of the number of road accidents. 28. Why did people travel on the left before the late 18th century?
A. They were required to do so. B. They were mostly left-handed. C. It was easier to cross the street. D. They could feel safer from attacks. 29. What was Napoleon's attitude to walking on the left ?
A. Support. B. Disapproval. C. Doubt. D. Sympathy.
30. For Americans, driving on the right was a way to show .
A. the connection with France was broken B. the US was no longer ruled by the UK
C. the American Revolutionary War had ended D. America was the center of the car industry
31. What is the main cause of the UK failing to adopt the new system?
A. Its high costs to change. B. Its increasing traffic accidents. C. Its influence on colonies. D. Its fast-developing car industry.
D
One of my first memories as a child in the 1950s was a discussion I had with my brother in our tiny bedroom in the family house in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
We had heard in school about a planet called Pluto. It was the farthest, coldest, and darkest thing a child could imagine. We guessed how long it would take to die if we stood on the surface of such a frozen place wearing only the clothes we had on. We tried to figure out how much colder Pluto was than the Antarctic, or than the coldest day we had ever experienced in Pennsylvania.
Pluto, which famously was downgraded from a \(矮行星) in 2006, captured our imagination because it was a mystery that could complete our picture of what it was like at the most remote comers of our solar system.
Pluto's underdog discovery story is part of what makes it so attractive. Clyde Tombaugh was a Kansas farm boy who built telescopes out of spare auto parts, old farm equipment and self-ground lenses. As an assistant at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, Tombaugh's task was to search millions of stars for a moving point of light, a planet that the observatory's founder thought existed beyond the orbit of Neptune. On February 18, 1930, Tombaugh found it. Pluto was the first planet discovered by an American, and represented a moment of light in the midst of the Great Depression's dark encroachment (入侵).
Pluto is much more than something that is not a planet. It's a reminder that there are many worlds out there beyond our own and that the sky isn't the limit at all. We don't know what kinds of fantastic variations on a theme nature is capable of making until we get there to look.
32 Why did Pluto become famous in 2006 according to the passage?
A. Because it disappeared in the sky. B. Because it lost its major planet status.
C. Because it was discovered by an American.
D. Because it was proved to be the coldest planet in the universe. 33. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Pluto's Romance
B. Pluto was First Discovered by a Boy C. An American Scientist: Clyde Tombaugh
D. The Days I Spent with My Brother in Pennsylvania 34. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?
A. Clyde Tombaugh discovered the darkness in the Great Depression. B. Pluto was the only planet that was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh. C. Clyde Tombaugh's telescopes used for searching stars were very simple. D. Clyde Tombaugh's job was to build telescopes for Lowell Observatory.
35. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph is most likely to mean .
A. Pluto is no less than a planet in the solar system B. Pluto is much more than a planet in the solar system
C. Pluto is more important than any other planet in the sky
D. Pluto is not a planet in the solar system, but it is more than a planet 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)

Eyes can speak
Much meaning can be conveyed clearly with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.
36 In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not for too long. And if he senses that you are staring at him, he may feel uncomfortable.
The same is true in our daily life. If you are stared at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. 37 Eyes do speak, right?
Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive. 38 If a man glances at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to look away from her, his intentions are obvious. He wishes to attract her attention and let her know that he is admiring her.
However, when two people are engaged in a conversation, the speaker will only look into the listener's eyes from time to time to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking. 39 If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking as if trying to control you, you will feel awkward. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim. He wrongly believes that looking straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication. 40 Actually, eye contact should be made based on specific relationships and situations.
A. On the contrary, it will give him away. B. Do you have such kind of experience? C. That's what normal eye contact is all about.
D. Actually, continuous eye contact is limited to lovers only. E. After all, nobody likes to be stared at for quite a long time.
F. But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex. G. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel annoyed at being stared at that way. 第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)
