Eperience Shaespeare family life in Shaespeare’s New Place.BI’m learning to drive in Switerland. I thin it will be a good idea to learn now because I have plenty offree time and am earning a little money to pay for lessons. I never learnt when I lived in the U, so lucily driving on the “wrong” side isn’t a problem.However, there are a lot of rules to remember. When you see a road to your right and there are no white lines on the ground, the cars to your right have the right to go before your car and you have to stop for them. In practice, lots of people forget this and cars either wait for each other while both drivers try to remember what to do, or beep (鸣喇叭) at each other if both try to go at the same time!When you drive round a roundabout, you should chec all your mirrors. To remember how to do this, I often count them aloud—one, two, three—then a second glance at your blind spot when you’re in the roundabout. One friend came driving with me and after about an hour ased why on earth I was counting. He had passed his test so long ago, he couldn’t remember ever having to chec thr ee mirrors!Driving still seems scary to me so I drive quite slowly. I also don’t now the countryside roads very well and don’t now wha t’s coming up round the comer or over the net hill. I drive slowly so I feel safe, but my driving instructor tells me to speed up or cars will bump into me from behind or try to overtae somewhere dangerous. So driving slowly is just as dangerous as driving fast!I’m not a very practical person so learning to drive has been a challenge. I don5t have a lot of confidence and find it quite demotivating to do something that doesn’t come naturally to me. To mae driving more fun and interesting, I learn in Swiss German, so my instructor gives me instructions in Swiss. This way I’ve triced myself into enjoying driving and hope fully will pass the test!24. What can be inferred from the first paragraph?A. It isn5t a proper time for the author to tae driving lessons now.B. Driving on the “wrong side” doesn’t influence the author..C. The author was too poor to pay for driving lessons in Switerland.D. It is easy for the author to get confused about the driving rules in Switerland.25. The author often counts “one, two, three” aloud when driving round a roundabout to ________.A. remind himself to chec the mirrorsB. speed upC. overtae somewhere dangerousD. mae driving more interesting26. What does the underlined word “demotivating” in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Encouraging.B. Amaing.C. Eciting.D.Discouraging.27. What is the tet mainly about?A. Driving speed.B. Strict driving instructors.C. Anecdotes of my driving eperience.D. Complicated driving rules in Switerland.CFor the ids who have just started to read, choosing the right boos is essential and their parents should be there to help them.A proper boo classification system would be of great help in this regard, since most parents do not now which boos suit their children’s reading levels the most. An effective classification system for children’s boos would help overcome this problem.Chinese boostores, online or offline, still prefer to use age rather than reading ability to categorie what they sell. In fact, reading ability and interests vary from child to child even when they are at the same age. This early form of classification is accepted by most boostores and publishers, yet many young readers get boos that are nowhere near their targeted reading levels.China has at least 200 million children under the age of 14, and their enthusiasm for reading has increased over the years. The publishers of children’s boos sh ould try to introduce a juvenile-centered classification system to help their readers choose boos that are suitable for their reading abilities.Some don’t trust the call for more effective boo classification, mentioning the need for youngsters to read etensively and avoid restricting themselves to one or two categories. There is a strong case for resisting selective reading, but not boo classification, which is designed to help young children develop good reading habits and hold onto them in the long run.Studies have found that ids are less liely to be into reading if they have not developed such a habit before the age of 10. That said, it is in their best interests to adopt targeted reading during childhood, as this can greatly improve their comprehension abilities. So greater efforts should be put into designing a boo classification system that meets the needs of young readers.28. A proper boo classification system should ________.A. be on an age basisB. limit readers to one or two categoriesC. help readers get boos suitable for their reading levelsD. benefit all the boostores and publishers29. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A. Young children.B. Publishers.C. Reading levels.D. Reading habits.30. What do we now from Paragraph 5?A. There is a strong case for resisting boo classification.B. Everyone doesn’t support a more effective boo classification.C. Youngsters should be restricted to a few categories of boos.D. Youngsters don’t need to read etensively.31. What’s the author’s attitude towards the current boo classification system?A. Dissatisfied.B. Ambiguous.C. Supportive.D. Unconcerned.DIt is a question people have been asing for ages. Is there a way to turn bac the aging process?For centuries, people have been looing for a “fountain of youth.” The idea is that if you find a magical fountain, and drin from its waters, you will not age. Spanish eplorer Juan Ponce de Leon searched for waters with magical powers in the early 1500s. But what he found instead is the American state of Florida.Researchers in New Yor did not find an actual fountain of youth, but they may have found a way to turn bac the aging process. It appears the answer may be hidden right between your eyes, in an area called the hypothalamus.The hypothalamus is part of your brain. It controls important activities within the body. Cai Dongsheng, a professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, found that hypothalamus stem cells influence how fast aging taes place in the body as well. He also reported that when the hypothalamus starts aging, so does the body.“So when hypothalamus function is in decline, particularly the loss of hypothalamus stem cells, and this protection against the aging development is lost, it eventually l eads to aging.”Using this information, the researchers began trying to activate (激活) or energie the hypothalamus inlaboratory mice. They did this by injecting (注射) the animals with stem cells. Later, the researchers eamined tissues and tested for changes in behavior. They looed for changes in the strength of the animals5 muscles. They also studied the social behavior and cognitive (认知) ability of the mice.The researchers say the results show that the treatment slowed aging in the animals. Cai says injecting middle-aged mice with stem cells from younger mice helped the older animals live longer.These findings could lead to new ways to help doctors identify and treat any number of health issues concerning aging problems. If the mice can live longer, does that mean people could have longer lives? This is the question Cai and his team are thining about.32. What did Juan Ponce de Leon find?A. The American state of Florida.B. Magical powers.C. A Fountain of youth.D. A way to stop the aging process.33. What do we now about the hypothalamus?A. It is located in the eyes.B. It starts aging due to the increase of its stem cells.C. It plays a ey role in controlling the aging process.D. It functions well when the body starts aging.34. What did the researchers do during the eperiment?A. They strengthened the muscles of the mice.B. They eamined tissues and tested the behaviour of mice.C. They injected the stem cells into the younger mice.D. They changed the social behavior and cognitive ability of the mice.35. What would the researchers probably do net?A. Inject stem cells of mice into humans.B. Research on the cognitive psychology.C. Help the mice live longer.D. See if anti-aging effects also wor in human beings.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。
