All green road signs indicate a highway or autobahn, blue signs are secondary roads and white signs back roads.*LimitationThe speed limit is 120 km/h (74 mph) on the autobahn, 80 km/h (50 mph) on secondary roads outside of towns and 50 km/h (30 mph) in towns if not indicated differently. Roadside automatic radar-triggered cameras help enforce these limits. Police are empowered to collect fines on the spot. The minimum age of a driver is 18 years. Seat belts are compulsory for front and rear-seat passengers. The legal blood alcohol limit is 0.08.*Getting throughFor travelers with motor-homes, its good that even large motor-homes can travel through the mountain passes. The roads are well maintained and large enough even for trucks. Remember, Switzerland is a very small country (ca. 250 x 400 km) and you can easily drive from one end to another in 3 - 5 hours if you stick to the highways. If you plan to travel to Switzerland by car, take your time, you can plan to see lots of places in a short amount of time. Plan to drive for divings sake, and try to minimally constrain yourself with time-related issues.The mountain resort towns of Braunwald, Murren, Wengen and Zermatt cannot be reached directly by private motor vehicle. Park at the railway or sky tram station and complete the journey via public transport. Trams always have priority. Buses have priority when leaving a bus stop. Traffic going up a mountain has priority. Some mountain roads require one-way traffic during certain hours only; these hours will be posted at either end of such roads.*FuelFuel stations along express ways are usually open from 6:00 a.m. to 10pm or midnight. Outside of open hours fuel is commonly available from automatic pumps that accept 10 and 20 SwF (瑞士法郎) notes or credit cards. Many stations accept major charge cards like Visa, Master Card or American Express. Fuel price ranges from SFr. 1.75.- to 1.95.- depending on the oil price.21. What can you know from the text?A. The mountain roads are wide enough for motor-homes or trucks to go through.B. Travelers should try to save time to cover the places of interest in Switzerland.C. Travelers can ride motor-homes to visit Braunwald, Murren, Wengen and Zermatt.D. In Switzerland people over 16 are permitted to drive.22. What might NOT be available for travelers to pay fuel in Switzerland?A. Swiss Francs B. Ali-payC. MasterCard D. American Express23. What type of writing is this text?A. Geography poster B. An activity announcementC. Travel journal D. Travel guideBSince I was first in China in 2020, my life, and China itself, have developed and changed a lot. My first China interaction was in 2020, when I came here with a friend. We traveled from Beijing to Hong Kong, all in 5 weeks. We had a fantastic time meeting local people, exploring beautiful places and eating delicious food. After this experience traveling across China and eating local food, I really wondered “How did I live without eating dumplings and eggplant on a weekly basis?” Well, I guess I did, somehow, for 22 years!As my Chinese improved during my studies I became more independent and more aware of the possibilities of Waimai, or food home delivery. I suddenly noticed the thousands of Waimai drivers zooming across the roads on their motorcycles. On deep, dark Beijing winter days and rainy days, Waimai is like the holy grail and as I enjoyed my take - away dumplings I would think and laugh to myself, “How did I live before without being able to get Waimai?” Well, I guess I did, somehow, for 23 years!In mid-2020, I was back in China again for my masters degree. Thats when I came across my first Mobike: “Oh, thats a unique bike and surely it will get stolen soon ”, I thought as I passed on my own black bike. But one week passed and I saw it still there. Then the one Mobike sighting turned into two and three, and soon thousands and then seemingly overnight the streets of Beijing were flooded with orange and yellow wheels. Again, I pondered on how I ever lived without my shared bike account. Well, I guess I did, somehow, for 25 years!China today is a country still steeped in ancient knowledge and custom, yet one that is also bursting with new ideas and changes. Although some things will always stay the same, something else is constantly changing at a pace beyond comprehension. Im sure as I continue my life here in Beijing I will be swept up in the next new convenience of life that Chinas rapid development is bringing out.24. According to the first paragraph, what impressed the author most might be _.A. Chinese culture B. Chinese foodC. Chinese people D. Chinese history25. The underlined words holy grail in Paragraph 2 probably means _.A. something precious B. something deliciousC. something expensive D. something unavailable26. What might be the authors attitude towards Mobike after it boomed?A. Doubtful. B. Curious C. Shocked. D. Regretful.27. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Chinese ancient wisdom has been replaced by new ideas.B. China is changing steadily and slowly.C. China will always stay as what it was.D. People in China will live a more convenient life in the future.CAs a young adult, Noah Webster was a teacher. At this time, the colonies (殖民地) were fighting for independence from Britain. Yet the books that American children used in school all came from Britain. The books were all about British people and British places. Webster wanted books that would mean more to American children. So he wrote three books that used American examples-a grammar book, a spelling book, and a reader. These books were very popular, and millions of them were sold.Webster was interested in changing the spellings of words. He wanted words to be spelled the way they were pronounced. For example, he thought the word head should be spelled “hed”, and the word “laugh” should be spelled “laf”. People liked Websters suggestions.However, few words were actually changed. One group of words that were changed were words in which an unpronounced “u” followed an “o”. That is why Americans write “color” and “labor”, and the British write “colour” and “labour”.With the money he made from his books, Webster was able to start on his great work. It was the first American English dictionary, published in 1828. Websters dictionary had over 70,000 words and gave the meaning and origin (起源) of each. To this day, Websters work is the example that most dictionaries of American English follow.28. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. When Noah Webster taught at schools, he wrote some storybooks.B. As a teacher, Noah Webster wasnt satisfied with the books he used.C. Noah Webster had to borrow books from Britain when he was a student.D. Noah Webster had his own government when he was young.29. The third paragraph mainly tells us that _.A. American people didnt write English as exactly as English people didB. Webster spoke English in a different wayC. Webster was good at correcting mistakes in textbooksD. American people didnt like speaking English30. In American history, Noah Webster is famous for _.A. his fighting for freedom B. learning foreign languagesC. his teaching methods D. his dictionary31. The last sentence of this passage means _.A. most American people followed Websters advice on writingB. Websters dictionary is the only one used in the United StatesC. most dictionaries in American English have the characteristics (特征) of WebstersD. most dictionaries in the world are the copies of WebstersDHow to Study Smarter, Not HarderHere are some of our favorite study tips that will help any student study smarter, not harder:Recite As You StudyReciting saying things out loud should first take place as you read through each paragraph or section. Test yourself. This will help you to understand as well as learn faster because it is more active than reading or listening. It will also help you to notice your mistakes and the topics you have trouble understanding.Take Fuller NotesNotes should be in your own words, brief and clear. They should be tidy and easy to read. Writing notes will help you better than just underlining as you read, since it forces you to rewrite ideas in your own words.Study the MiddleThe best time to review is soon after youve learned something. You are more likely to remember the material at the beginning and the end of the lesson, so make sure you focus on the middle when you review.Sleep On ItStudy before going to bed, unless you are very tired. Its easier to remember material you have just learned after sleeping than after an equal period of daytime activity, because your brain continues to think even after youve fallen asleep.Combine Memory and UnderstandingThere are two ways to remember: by memorizing and by understanding. Multiplication tables, telephone numbers, and math formulas are better learned by rote. Ideas are best learned by understanding.The more ways you have to think about an idea, the more meaning it will have; the more meaningful the learning, the better you can remember it. Pay attention to similarities in ideas and concepts, and then try to understand how they fit in with things you already know. Never be satisfied with anything less than a completely clear understanding of what you are reading. If you are not able to follow the thought, go back to the place where you first got confused and try again.32. You can notice your mistakes by _.A. studying the middleB. taking notesC. speaking things out aloudD. sleeping on it33. When taking notes, you should _ to better help you with reading.A. underline important notesB. write as quickly as possibleC. take down every detailD. write notes in your own words34. The writer advises you to _ as it is easier for you to remember material.A. study before going to sleep B. do some exercise after studyingC. study as soon as you get upD. study after a period of activity35. Which of the following is NOT helpful for your understanding?A. Thinking about an idea in different ways.B. Reading from the beginning to the end without stop.C. Relating ideas and concepts with what you already know.D. Going back to what first made you confused and start again.第二节： 七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面材料，根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Five steps to better handwritingSome kids love handwriting, but others hate it when its time to put pen to paper.
