3.As we all know,different countries have different cultures.The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot.(16)G
The origin of the eastern cultures is mainly from two countries:hina and India.Both of the two cultures are fostered by rivers-the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India.(17)D Then in Tang Dynasty of China,the Chinese culture gradually went overseas to Japan,mixed into the Japanese society and shaped the Japanese culture nowadays.Though a bit different from the Chinese one,it belongs to the same system.
When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture,another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian Plain-the Mesopotamian Civilization.This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome.(18)B Like the Chinese culture,the European one also crossed waters.When the British settled down in America,their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean.So the American culture doesn't distinguish from the European one a lot.
(19)F ake the language system for example.In the East,most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system.Other causes like human race difference counts as well.But what's more,due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and West,the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries.So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference (干擾) from the other.
The differences are everywhere.(20)E But different cultures make the world of 21st century more colorful.The cultural gap should not be the obstacle (障礙) to the civilization of human being.It ought to be the motivation of our going farther.

A.Let us work together to keep a variety of culture.
B.And these two are well-known as the base of the European culture.
C.One important thing is to learn about other cultures.
D.They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles.
E.They are obvious and affect people's ways of thinking and their views of the world.
F.At the same time,some other differences add to the cultural differences.
G.This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the whole.

13.The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named"DriveLAB"in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are.
Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people,leading to them becoming more isolated(隔絕)and inactive.
Led by Professor Phil Blythe,the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life.
These include custom-made navigation(導(dǎo)航) tools,night vision systems and intelligent
speed adaptations.Phil Blythe explains:"For many older people,particularly those living alone or in the country,driving is important for preserving their independence,giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others."
"But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills.The result is that people stop driving before they really need to."
Dr Amy Guo,the leading researcher on the older driver study,explains,"The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems.
"For example,most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly,we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined.We're looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that.
"We hope that our work will help with technological solutions(解決方案) to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel."

27.What is the purpose of the Drivel AB?C
A.To explore newmeans of transport.
B.To design new types of cars.
C.To find out older driver′s problems.
D.To teach people traffic rules.
28..Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe?A
A.It keeps them independent.
B.It helps them save time.
C.It builds up their strength.
D.It cures their mental illnesses.
29.What do researchers hope to do for older drivers?B
A.Improve their driving skills.
B.Develop driver-assist technologles.
C.Provide tips on repairing their cars.
D.Organize regular physical checkups
30.What is the best title for the text?B

11.Thousands of people were attracted to a 2-meter-wide lane in Tongcheng,Anhui proving this spring festival.Although (61)it was impossible to count the exact number,at least 5,000people visited it each day.
This narrow lane,(62)called (call) Liuchi Lane in Chinese,won greater popularity after the story behind it was broadcast on a CCTV show.At first glance it may seem unimportant,but to those(63)who  know its history,Liuchi Lane means much more than its(64)appearance (appear).In the early Qing Dynasty it served (65)as the boundary between Zhang family and Wu family.They quarreled (66)fiercely (fierce) over which family had the right to build a wall on the dividing line.After(67)failing (fail) to make a compromise,the Zhangs turned to Zhang Ying,a family member of Zhangs and also a top official in the emperor's court.To(68)their (they) surprise,Zhang Ying did not provide the support they needed.He called for his family to step back I meter from the boundary.Seeing that,the Wus (69)agreed (agree) to move back another meter.Thus Liuchi lane was born.

18.The Science of Risk-SeekingSometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward,the risk seems worth taking.(36)F Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us.Why?Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.
The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans.Risk-takers were better at hunting,fighting,or exploring.(37)C As the quality of Risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next,humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.
So why aren't we all jumping out of airplanes then?Well,even 200,000 years ago,too much risk-taking could get one killed.A few daring survived,though,along with a few stay-in-the-cave types.As a result,humans developed a range of character types that still exists today.So maybe you love car racing,or maybe you hate it.(38)A
No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range,scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years.(39)ETo help you do that,your brain increases your hunger for new experiences.New experiences often mean taking some risks,so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.
(40)G For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active,while for the rest of us,a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.
As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking,we'll continue to hit the mountains,the waves or the shallow end of the pool.

A.It all depends on your character.
B.Those are the risks you should jump to take.
C.Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.
D.Thus,these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.
E.This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.
F.However,we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.
G.New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.

8.I want to talk about Miss Smith,a history teacher I had at secondary school (41)when  I was about 15.Most of the teachers I had were OK,(42)but they gave the feeling that it was just a job.It seemed that Miss Smith really (43)loved  (love) both history and teaching it.
One of the (44)best  (good) things about her lessons was that we didn't always have to study in an ordinary way.For example,rather than write an article for homework,usually we were allowed   (45)to work  (work) with a friend to write an imaginary dialogue between two historical  (46)figures (figure).Then we could perform it for the class.I think Miss Smith influenced me in two important ways.Firstly,she made me (47)interested (interest) in history.Now I still read books on history and watch TV programs about it when I get the chance.(48)secondly    (second),she showed me how a teacher can use the students'own creativity o help them learn.Instead(49)of  just being a kind of audience for lessons,we were involved in  (50)deciding (decide) what happened in the lessons.

12.It seems that the great desire among the young is to be popular.The desire to be popular can force you into looking and acting like everyone else.You can lose yourself in a sea of similar hairstyles and thinking styles.
I was forced to think about popularity not too long ago in a talk I had with my daughter.Margy had to change schools when my busy work schedule made it necessary for me to move houses.I suppose that,for a girl in her teens,entering a new school is like spending a season alone in the tropical jungles.At least that's how Margy found it at first.However,as the school year drew to a close,one student after another came to her.I told Margy that I would have been more concerned if she had been an instant social success in her new school.Nobody can please everyone.If you try to do so,you will find values as lasting as soap bubbles blown into the air.
Some teenagers claim they want to dress as they please.But they all wear the same clothes.They set off in new directions in music.But somehow they all end up listening to the same record.Their reason for thinking or acting in a certain way is that the crowd is doing it.They have come out of their cocoon(繭)into a larger cocoon.
I know that it has become harder for a young person to stand up against the popularity wave.Our way of life makes a young non-conformist stand out like a Martian.These days there's a great barrier for the young person who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over.You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party.Well,go to it.
Be yourself.Popularity will come with the people who respect you for who you are.That's the only kind of popularity that really counts.

24.Why was the author worried about his daughter's popularity in her new school?D
A.She might find no true friends.
B.She would ignore her academic performance.
C.She had no idea of her own.
D.She might betray her true self.
25.What does the author think of most teenagers?C
A.They're afraid of getting lost in life.
B.They have difficulty understanding each other.
C.They lack the courage to be truly different.
D.They find it hard to gain popularity as expected.
26.What is the probable meaning of the underlined word"non-conformist"in Paragraph 4?C
A.Someone who cares about others'opinion.
B.Someone who desires popularity greatly.
C.Someone who behaves in his own way.
D.Someone who wants to please others.
27.What is the author's purpose of writing this passage?A
A.To persuade readers to go after valuable popularity.
B.To tell parents how to guide their children.
C.To criticize the present values and beliefs.

"So,I've study viticulture and I went to Beaune in Burgundy to study that.It's a school in Beaune that gives you training and practice about how to make wine."he said.
After graduating,F(xiàn)inot worked in many different wine places around France to learn all he could about wine.And,for him,traveling was a part of learning,not only learning about winemaking,but also learning a lot about himself and that's the best part of traveling.
Matthieu Finot has also worked in Italy and South Africa to learn about winemaking and to gain international experience.In 2010,he came to the United States and he settled in Virginia.He says one does not have to know a lot about wine to understand or enjoy it.

28.What does the underlined word"blend"in Paragraph 1 mean?B
A.Compaign.B.Mix.C.Difference.D.Medal.
