exclaimed.In the picture I looked proud and excited holding the presents I had bought there.On Christmas Day，my friends and relatives were deligh ted with the presents I had bought for them.For weeks，my brother begged me to take him to the wonderful little shop.I finally agreed.We walked along Oxford Street，passed the department store and found nothing.In its place was an empty space being

(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 1700s，everybody travelled on the left side of the road because its the most sensible option for feudal (封建的)，violent societies with mostly righthanded people.Soldiers with their swords under their right arm naturally passed on each others 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 lefthanded.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 (17751783)，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 righthanddrive cars.From then on，many countries changed out of necessity.Today，the EU 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.语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了汽车靠右行驶和靠左行驶的差异及其产生的历史原因。12Why did people travel on the left before the late 18th century?AThey were required to do so.BThey were mostly lefthanded.CIt was easier to cross the street.DThey could feel safer from attacks.解析：推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句可知，18世纪末以前，人们走在左边可能是为了防止进攻者，使自己更安全。答案：D13What was Napoleons attitude to walking on the left?ASupport. BDisapproval.CDoubt. DSympathy.解析：观点态度题。根据第三段第三、四句可推知，拿破仑改变了人们靠左行走的习惯，说明他是不赞成的。A项意为“支持的”；B项意为“反对的，不赞成的”；C项意为“怀疑的”；D项意为“同情的”。答案：B14For American，driving on the right was a way to show_.Athe connection with France was brokenBthe US was no longer ruled by the UKCthe American Revolution War had endedDAmerica was the center of the car industry解析：细节理解题。根据第四段第一句可知，美国改变汽车行驶方向为靠右行驶是为了表示美国不再受英国的统治。答案：B15What is the main cause of the UK failing to adopt the new system?AIts high costs to change.BIts increasing traffic accidents.CIts influence on colonies.DIts fastdeveloping car industry.解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句可知，因为改变需要很大一笔费用，所以英国不会采用新的制度。答案：A.七选五(2017湖南长沙高三模拟试卷一)“_1_”All the things that you have been through，all the people you have met and interacted with can have an impact on
