第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，每小题2分，共计40分）

A

Some places in the world have strange laws. It’s important for you to know about them before going there.

Whoever likes to chew gum(口香糖) may have to leave Singapore. The government really wants to keep the city clean and will fine you for chewing gum.

Before you leave for the United Arab Emirates you’d better make sure you aren’t visiting during Ramadan(斋月). During that time you aren’t allowed to eat or drink in public. Tourists have been fined up to $275 for drinking in public.

Lovers spend so much time kissing each other goodbye at train stations that trains often start late. This law—no kissing your lover

goodbye at train stations – is rather old, and isn’t in use today in France.

In Thailand it’s against the law to drive a car or motorcycle without a shirt on, no matter how hot it is. Punishments are different in different areas and can include warnings and tickets costing about $10. No joke ---the local police will stop you.

Studies in Denmark have shown that cars with their headlights on are more noticeable by other drivers than those with their headlights off. Drivers there are required to leave their headlights on even during the day, or they may face a fine up to $100.

Do you often buy things using coins? Don’t do it in Canada. The Currency Law of 1985 doesn’t allow using only coins to buy things. Even the use of the dollar-coin is limited (受的). The shop owner has the right to choose whether to take your coins or not.

Make sure you know about these laws before your next trip. Better safe than sorry.

21. What is mainly talked about in the text?

A. How to make your trip around the world safe. B. Why there are strange laws in the world.

C. Interesting places you can go to around the world. D. Some strange laws you should know about for your trip. 22. If you are driving a car in Thailand, __________. A. you should wear your shirt even though it’s hot

B. the police will play a joke on you

C. the police will give you tickets costing about $10 D. you should always keep your headlights on 23. What can we learn from the text?

A. Kissing goodbye at train stations isn’t allowed in France today.

B. The Singaporean government cares a lot about its environment.

C. Tourists in the United Arab Emirates shouldn’t eat in public. D. You can turn your headlights off in daytime in Denmark.

B

Back in 2003 an 86-year-old man drove his Buick through a crowded farmers’ market. Nine people were killed. More than fifty-four people were hurt, fourteen with serious injuries. When he finally stopped, the 86-year-old man got out his car and screamed at people to get out of the way. No alcohol or drugs were found in his system. Apparently, he was just old and confused.

This is a frightening accident, and it is not a rare one. There are many examples of elderly drivers driving into swimming pools, houses, storefronts, or worse.

In our teenage years, we all heard “driving is not a right; it’s a privilege（）.” That is still true, and there comes an age when driving is no longer a privilege that can be allowed. After a certain age, eyesight and dementia(痴呆) are very serious concerns. Undoubtedly, these age-related problems affect some older adults’

driving ability. By the time a person is between eighty-five and ninety years old, his or her driving privilege should be examined.

Licensing laws vary greatly from state to state, and it’s time for a national law on the maximum age limit for driving. The motivation for this law is safety. Another option is to start with laws that ban anyone over the age of eighty-five from driving after sundown, because driving conditions are not as safe as daylight hours. Still another option that may allow elderly drivers to continue driving could be new technology like a voice warning system that cautions drivers on busy streets or at traffic lights. Finally, since there are laws against driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, shouldn’t some prescription drugs also be included? The average age of 85-year-old is undoubtedly taking at least one prescription drug daily.

The thought of an 86-year-old driver with failing eyesight running down the road in a two-ton piece of metal is unsettling to us all. Driving at an advanced age is not only challenging for the elderly drivers, but also it’s dangerous for the rest of us.

24. The first paragraph is written in order to show_________. A. the harm of driving at an old age B. the importance of traffic safety

C. traffic accidents are on the rise D. many elderly drivers are careless

25. The author suggests that there should be new laws against driving __________.

A. over eighty-five B. under the influence of prescription drugs

C. with the help of voice warning systems

D. between sunset and dawn

26. The underlined word “unsettling” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “________”.

A. disappointing B. worrying C. touching D. interesting

27. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. How to keep old people safe on the road? B. Are drivers well protected by licensing laws? C. Should there be an age limit for elderly drivers? D. Is driving a right or a privilege for an old person?

C

A typical school day in the UK starts around 8:30 am. This is often even earlier elsewhere in the world, with students sitting down to their first lesson at 7:30 am in the US. The average teenager ideally needs eight to nine hours’ sleep each night, but in reality a lot of teenagers struggle to get this much. A lot of the problems arise because our sleep patterns are not fixed, and they change as we grow.

So a later school start time could help to solve this problem, by ensuring to get their eight plus hours of sleep and react properly to their body’s natural rhythms (规律). There has been a general shift over the past 25 years to shorten the school day. This is not at the cost of teaching time (which has remained constant) but at the cost of natural breaks, which has led to reduced lunch time and lesson breaks.

Later start times could help teens’ grades and health. This is

mainly because it makes the management of children easier. Supervising (监管) hundreds of children “playing” requires effective staffing (人员配备). And there is always the fear that behavior worsens during breaks. So the theory goes that having them in class and strictly supervised must be better.

But this means that students barely have enough time to absorb what they were doing in maths before suddenly they are thrust into ancient history. And teaching staff also transit from one class to another, with hardly a rest or time to refocus.

Clearly rethinking the school day could benefit everyone involved. Anyway, it could also lead to better achievement in teenagers and less of a struggle for parents in the mornings. For teachers, it could also mean a less stressful day all around and what could be better than that?

28. How do schools often shorten the school day? A. They increase more holidays. B. They reduce the teaching time

C. They properly adjust children’ natural rhythms

D. They reduce children’s lunch time and lesson breaks

29. What’s the purpose of the children’ short lesson breaks according to the text?

A. To reduce children’s excitement

B. To make children quickly take in what they learned C. To supervise children more easily

D. To make children behave better in class

30. What can we learn about later school start time from the text? A. It will add to the teacher’s pressure

B. It has always been there for 25 years

C. It benefits the students only D. Parents may support it

31. What can be the best title for the text? A. The benefits of a less stressful day B. How to solve teenagers’ sleep problem C. The benefits of later school start time D. The reasons why teenagers sleep differently

D

Every year gray whales swim a 10,000 miles round-trip, from the cold waters near Alaska, down the coast of North America to the warm waters near Mexico, and back again. It is one of the longest migrations (迁徙) of any mammal (哺乳动物).

All day, all summer long, in the cold waters near Alaska, gray whales eat and eat.

Instead of teeth, gray whales have baleen (鲸须) they use to get food from ocean water. They get big mouthfuls of muck (淤泥) from the ocean floor, then push that muck right back out through their baleen. The mucky water flows through, but tiny animals get trapped in the baleen and licked up.

When the water starts to freeze, the whales begin their long trip south. They swim night and day, without stopping to eat or rest. During the long journey, migrating whales may push their heads out of the water to see where they are.

Two months later, the whales reach Mexico. Babies are born here in warm, shallow (浅的) waters called lagoons (濒海湖). Ocean lagoons have no food for the adults, but the babies are safer

here than in the open seas. All winter the babies grow big and strong.

In spring first the dads and teenagers leave the lagoons, then the moms with babies. Migrating gray whales swim close to shore, especially moms with babies. The ice is melting up (融化) north, and it’s time for the hungry whales to make the long journey back to their summer feeding grounds.

32. The underlined phrase “licked up” in Paragraph 3 probably means “ ”.

A. eaten up B. ended up C. broken up D. given up 33. During their long journey to Mexico, gray whales . A. always swim under the ocean B. find food to supply their energy

C. face the colder and colder water D. travel to the lagoons without a break 34. Where do mother gray whales give birth? A. In warm shallow waters near Mexico. B. Off the coast of North America.

C. In the open seas near Mexico. D. In cold waters near Alaska.

35. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about gray whales in the text?

A. How they get their food. B. How long they live.

C. When they get back to Alaska.

D. How long they spend traveling to Mexico. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，
