There are two ways of driving in the world: if the driver’s seat is on the left and cars travel on the right side of the road, it is called “l(fā)eft-hand driving”, as it is in China, while the other way of driving is called “right-hand driving”, as it is in Britain. Nowadays, around 65% of the world’s 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 other’s right. And right-hand people generally got on a horse from the animal’s left. Obviously, it’s 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 (帝國) were made to follow. This is why India, Australia and the former British colonies (殖民地) in Africa continue to drive on the left. One exception is Egypt, as that country was defeated by Napoleon before becoming part of the British Empire.

Some countries changed sides’ until modem times. Sweden only moved to driving on the right in 1967 and Iceland changed the following year. Ghana changed sides in 1974. On September 7,2009, Samoa became the third country ever to change from left-to-right-hand driving for the reason that it made it easier to import (進(jìn)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.

1.Which picture shows the correct driving in Britain?

A. B.

C. D.

2.In ancient times, Romans .

A. travelled on the right

B. rode past each other’s right

C. got on the horses from the right

D. behaved as they liked

3.In modem times, countries follow the same driving way except .

A. Egypt. B. China

C. Sweden D. Australia

4.What is the writer’s purpose for writing this passage?

A. To introduce the development of the two ways of driving.

B. To compare the differences of the two ways of driving.

C. To explain the advantages of the two ways of driving.

D. To complain about the change of the two ways of driving.

科目：高中英語 來源：廣東省汕頭市2016-2017學(xué)年高二下學(xué)期3月月考英語試卷 題型：七選五

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

Understanding Disabilities

There are around 650 million people in the world that have disabilities，yet most people are still quite ignorant about it.

（1）What do you think of when you see the word, ‘disability’？

Wheelchairs? White sticks? The Paralympics? 1. The legal definition of disability is that someone has a physical or mental impairment that has a great and long?term bad effect on his or her ability to carry out normal day?to?day activities.

This affects about 650 million of us, worldwide. 2. Most become disabled during the course of their life. So maybe the term TAB (Temporarily Able?Bodied) is better for people who are not disabled，because we may not stay that way forever.

（2）3.

Imagine not being able to see，or not being able to walk. Think of all the things that would be different. How can I get my education? What about my future? Would my friends still want to hang out with me? Will strangers laugh at me in the street? Can I get my own place? What job can I do?

Clearly，having a disability can affect many things in a person's life.

（3）Disability and the law

4. It is illegal and extremely unpleasant to discriminate (歧視) against someone who is differently abled. The label ‘disabled’ is not always helpful. Even if someone meets the legal definition，they may not see themselves that way. Instead of thinking about what is wrong with those people，or noticing what they can't do，we should look at how we like to live，and try to make it possible for everyone to join in.

After all—what is normal？5. But better understanding would be a start.

A． How can the disabled find better jobs?

B． How does disability affect people?

C． People with disabilities don't need pity.

D． Most of us have never really thought about it.

E． We should consider more for people with disabilities.

F． Only 17% of people with a disability are born with it.

G．There are laws to prevent people with disabilities being treated unfairly.

In Western countries, bread is one of the most important foods. When they get up in the morning many people eat toast (烤面包). They spread butter and jam on their toast. People eat bread at other times of the day too. For example, at main meals, they often eat bread with soup.

It's also very common to eat sandwiches. A sandwich is two pieces of bread with a filling inside - salad, cheese or fish. A hamburger is a kind of sandwich.

There are many different kinds of bread. Some are special to some countries. For example, the baguette (法國棍子面包) is a long, thin loaf that began in France.

There is also white bread and whole-wheat (全麥面) bread. What's the difference? White bread is refined (精制的). It has things taken out of it to make it softer and easier to eat. The trouble is, white bread also has lots of goodness taken out. Although some people dislike the taste of whole-wheat bread, it is much healthier.

Some kinds of bread have additives (添加劑). They are put into the bread for many reasons. Some additives are good for you - for example vitamin C. Others are there to make the bread last longer. Still others to make it taste better - but they do not necessarily make the bread healthier to eat!

1.People in the west have as their main food.

A. butter B. bread

C. cheese D. fish

2.The fourth paragraph tells us

A. how to make white bread

B. how to make whole-wheat bread

C. the difference between white bread and whole-wheat bread

D. people dislike the taste of whole-wheat bread

3.Which of the statements about additives(添加劑) is WRONG?

A. Not all the additives are good for our health.

B. Vitamin C makes the bread last longer.

C. Some additives are put into bread to make bread healthier.

D. To make bread taste better, some additives can be put into bread.
