21、Why does most of the world travel on the right side to day? Theories differ, but there's 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 right-hand traffic to the nations he conquered, including Russia, Switzerland and Germany. Hitler, in turn, ordered right-hand traffic in Czechoslovakia and Austria in the 1930s. Nations that escaped right-hand control, like Great Britain, followed their left-hand tradition.

The U.S. has not always been a nation of right-hand 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 U.S. occurred in the 20th century, when Henry Ford decided to mass-produce his cars with controls on the left (the reason was stated in a 1908 catalog: 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 right-hand standard, including Canada in the 1920s, Sweden in 1967 and Burma in 1970. The U.K. and former colonies such as Australia and India are among the Western world's few remaining holdouts (坚持不变者). Several Asian nations, including Japan, use the left as well—though many places use both right-hand-drive and left-hand-drive cars.

【1】Why did people in Switzerland travel on the right?

A. They had used the right-hand traffic since the 18th century.

B. Rich people enjoyed driving their carriages on the right.

C. Napoleon introduced the right-hand traffic to this country.

D. Hitler ordered them to go against their left-hand tradition.

【2】 Of all the countries below, the one that travels on the right is ______.

A. Austria B. England

C. Japan  D. Australia

【3】 Henry Ford produced cars with controls on the left ______.

A. in order to change traffic directions in the U.S.

B. so that passengers could get off conveniently

C. because rules at that time weren't perfect.

D. though many countries were strongly against that.

【4】 According 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 U.S. 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.

22、   Tim Ma’s parents went to the United States from Taiwan in the 1970s and opened a restaurant, which was not a success. They hoped Ma would become an engineer or doctor out of financial security.

Ma grew up in the state of Arkansas, a challenging place to live in for him. He said, “There was some racism and I came up through a very non-equal environment.”

Ma did well in math and science in high school and ended up choosing to study electrical engineering in college.

Several engineering jobs later, Ma had a change of heart. He wanted to leave the engineering world behind and enter the restaurant business.

His parents could not understand why he left such a good job to open a restaurant, which they had worked long hours for but still failed.

But Ma remained certain. He was going to do things differently from his parents. He was able to learn from their major mistake as restaurant owners—they knew very little about the art of cooking.

So, at age 30, Ma left engineering and returned to school to study cooking. He attended the International Culinary (烹调) Center in New York and received training in French cooking. Ma soon discovered it was similar to engineering and liked it. He said, “Professional cook is consistency, efficiency, cleanliness. Everything has a theory.”

In 2009, Ma opened his first restaurant in Virginia called Maple Avenue and served American cuisine. He cooked, cleaned the ovens (灶, 烤箱), fixed equipment and paid bills for seven days a week.

His long hours of work paid off. Last year he opened his fourth restaurant Kyirisan in Washington, D. C. Ma says, “My success just comes from ‘sheer hard work’.”

“I think in this country you can create your own success just by working hard. Not because you’re smarter, not because you’re more creative than anybody, just by working hard.”

【1】Why did Tim Ma’s parents expect him to be an engineer or doctor?

A.Being an engineer or doctor was the best choice.

B.Ma liked the jobs of engineering.

C.The jobs provided enough for a living.

D.Ma studied well in math and science.

【2】What can we learn about Tim Ma?

A.He learned to cook from his parents. B.He opened a restaurant upon graduation.

C.He owed his success to his creativity. D.He proved promising in his restaurant.

【3】What does the underlined word “sheer” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?

A.Careful. B.Pure.

C.Extreme D.Slight.

【4】What does the author intend to tell us?

A.Engineering promises achievements. B.Creation matters much in business.

C.Americans face challenge of equality. D.Success comes from hard work.

23、“You’d be an intermediate (中级学生),” the clever salesgirl at the Apple Store said brightly. She was talking about the free classes one could sign up for. An intermediate, I thought with pride. “I’ve used Macs since they had green text and discs,” I said, eager to strengthen my position. “And I had a Mac Classic for years.” She smiled, or maybe she was thinking, “If it’s been that long, why are you still an intermediate?”

Why does one remain an intermediate? Sometimes it’s a matter of opportunity: Leaving New England was a blow to my cross-country skiing. No longer living on the banks of a river held up kayaking. Horseback riding, too, requires an opportunity. I know, however, a friend I rode with as a child bought herself a retired police horse in her 40s. A devoted kayaker would not have been prevented by the highways lying between her and rivers.

Sometimes, it’s ability. I have taken up piano later in life. I love music, but I can see that I have no particular gift for it. Gardening was another late job. I wasn’t a natural at that, either.

I admit I’m a little ashamed of being an intermediate. It seems to imply a lack of focus, an unwillingness to push myself to go deeper or further. Do I lack the persistence to become an expert? Am I too easily distracted to put in the 10,000 hours reportedly required to achieve mastery?

Maybe I have to accept that, for now at least, intermediate is my sweet spot. I’ve moved past the frustrations of beginnerhood without meeting the demands of expertise. A beginner is a beginner and an expert is just that. But an intermediate can be low, medium, or high. And wherever you are as an intermediate, you can always go forward, try harder, and learn more.

Who of us can claim to be an expert parent, wife, husband, child, or friend? At best, we’re the high intermediate with much to learn.

【1】What did the writer want to prove to the salesgirl in the first paragraph?

A．Her position as a lifelong intermediate.

B．Her good knowledge about Apple computers.

C．Her eagerness to attend free courses.

D．Her ability to afford to buy expensive computers.

【2】What did the writer think of opportunities?

A．They are only excuses.

B．They appear just by accident.

C．They are waiting in our life.

D．They just come and go.

【3】What do the questions express in Para. 4?

A．The writer’s worries.

B．The writer’s disappointments.

C．The writer’s curiosities.

D．The writer’s doubts.

【4】Why is the writer content to be an intermediate?

A．It means the possibility to make improvement.

B．It marks the beginning to achieve mastery.

C．It presents the opportunity to become an expert.

D．It rids people of the difficulty to move on.

25、Corporate America is struggling to adapt to Gen Z

In recent months, the payments company Visa has quietly started to offer customers a new feature: a digital tool that lets them cap spending in a personalized way, for example by _________ the bill at coffee bars to a preset limit each week. Nothing odd about that, you might think.

With inflation (通货膨胀) weakening household _________, and credit card debt at record highs in countries such as the US, consumers have reasons to do so.

But look a little closer, and there is a twist: Visa’s move is partly sparked by an urge to _________the behaviour of “Gen Z”, or the group of people born between 1997 and 2012.

“Gen Z wants control,” explains Charlotte Hogg, chief executive of Visa Europe, who says the company is _________ trying to figure out how these teens and young adults think and behave.

Since most business leaders today are “baby boomers,” or members of “Gen X”, (born, that is, between 1946 and 1964, or 1965 and 1980, respectively), many feel confused by Gen Z, and assume they are _________ to “millennials” (or those born between 1981 and 1996). This assumption is not entirely wrong. A recent study by the consultancy Oliver Wyman, which _________ 150,000 Gen Z-ers over two years, shows that this generation cares far more deeply about social and environmental issues than their elders, and expects digital and “real-world” experiences to be _________, as they have grown up surrounded by more technology than previous generations. In this respect, they are similar to millennials. _________, Gen Z has a higher rate of self-reported mental health issues than millennials, and its members prefer to get their information from _________ rather than authority figures. These findings, which __________ similar studies by McKinsey, undoubtedly reflect the fact that Gen Z-ers are digital natives whose lives have been shaped by the __________of the global financial crisis, the Covid-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine.

But the most striking issue that defines Gen Z is something else: __________. Accustomed to digitization and smartphones, they consider it entirely normal and desirable to __________ everything — from their music, media, food and holidays to their politics, gender identities and working practices. I call this the era of “Gen P”, which has led to the rise of a “pick’n’mix” or “playlist” approach to life, in which personal choice __________. To Gen Z the idea of accepting preselected roles or consumption packages feels as __________ as only listening to music on the radio picked by somebody else. Instead they want to exercise choice.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

April Fools’ Day

Nat woke early and jumped out of bed. Today was the best day of the year for him. Nat loved to play tricks, and today was April Fools’ Day.

Some of Nat’s tricks were big hits. Last year, he short-sheeted his sister’s bed. She couldn’t understand what was going on and started to think that her legs must have grown much longer during the day. When she realized what had happened, she laughed her head off.

Some of Nat’s tricks were not so successful. Mom didn’t think finding a furry toy mouse in the fridge was humorous at all. After she calmed down a bit, she said, “That’s it! There’s a ban on Nat tricks for two weeks.”

Nat was also the class clown. He was always making jokes in class. He liked it when he made the other kids laugh. Since it was April Fools’ Day, he felt like he had to come up with something really good to provide his classmates with some really good entertainment.

For that, Nat thought long and hard before he came up with his brilliant idea. He bought two toy frogs which were made out of green plastic and looked very realistic. Nat knew just the trick he would play on his classmates.

Nat arrived at school early. To succeed in his plan, he needed to get into the classroom before anyone else. Nat’s class had a rainforest terrarium (饲养皿). It had plants, insects, and three frogs in it. Nat’s idea was to pretend that the frogs had escaped. He knew that Ms. Lopez, his teacher, wasn’t afraid of frogs but several of his classmates, including himself, were.

Nat slipped into the classroom. Good! There was nobody here. He put one of the toy frogs on the floor, near the terrarium and the other on his friend Stacey’s desk. Nat knew that Stacey really didn’t not like frogs. Also, she played a great trick on him last April Fools’ Day. To make his trick more convincing, Nat pushed the lid of the terrarium open. Then he rushed off to morning gathering.

注意：

1.续写词数应为150左右：

When the students got back to class, no one noticed the toy frogs at first.
