I think it will be a good idea to learn now because I have plenty of free time and am earning a little money to pay for lessons. I never learnt when I lived in the UK, so luckily 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 check 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 asked why on earth I was counting. He had passed his test so long ago , he couldn’t remember ever having to check three mirrors!Driving still seems scary to me so I drive quite slowly. I also don’t know the countryside roads very well and don’t know what’s coming up round the comer or over the next 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 overtake somewhere dangerous. So driving slowly is just as dangerous as driving fast!试卷第2页，总26页I’m not a very practical person so learning to drive has been a challenge. I don’t have a lot of confidence and find it quite demotivating to do something that doesn’t come naturally to me. To make driving more fun and interesting, I learn in Swiss German, so my instructor gives me instructions in Swiss. This way I’ve tricked myself into enjoying driving and hopefully will pass the test!1．What can be inferred from the first paragraph?A ．It isn’t a proper time for the author to take 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 Switzerland.D ．It is easy for the author to get confused about the driving rules in Switzerland.2．The author often counts “one, two, three” aloud when driving round a roundabout to ________.A ．remind himself to check the mirrorsB ．speed upC ．overtake somewhere dangerousD ．make driving more interesting 3．What does the underlined word “demotivating” in Paragraph 5 mean? A ．Encouraging. B ．Amazing. C ．Exciting. D ．Discouraging. 4．What is the text mainly about? A ．Driving speed.B ．Strict driving instructors.C ．Anecdotes of my driving experience.D ．Complicated driving rules in Switzerland. 【答案】 1．B 2．A 3．D 4．C【解析】作者在文中讲述了自己在瑞士学开车的原因，走环道和乡间路的技巧，和学习过程中的趣事和技巧。

1．B推理判断题。

根据第一段中的I never learnt when I lived in the UK, so luckily driving on the“wrong” side isn’t a problem.可知在英国和瑞士开车的方向不同，但并没有对作者造成影响。

故选B.2．A细节推理题。

根据第三段When you drive round a roundabout, you should check 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.可知走环道时作者经常数数是为了提醒自己看镜子，故选A.3．D猜测词义题。

此处指我没有太多的信心，我觉得做一些对我来说不是很自然的事情是很消极的。

“demotivating”指使变得消极，使失去动力。

与Discouraging同义，故选D. 4．C主旨大意题。

作者在文中讲述了自己在瑞士学开车的原因，走环道和乡间路的技巧，和学习过程中的趣事和技巧。

C项：我的驾驶经历，概括全文，适合作为标题。

故选C. Over the past century, an alarming number of animals have become endangered or even extinct. Below are some animals whose numbers have been rapidly dropping in recent years.Panda BearOne of the biggest reasons contributing to the decline in the panda species is the destruction of its natural habitat. Farmers in China have gradually been claiming more and more of the land. As a result, pandas are forced to move away to places where it is hard to find bamboo for food. Green TurtleThe green sea turtle species has survived for several millions of years, so you might wonder why it’s only becoming endangered now. A major cause is the change in climate and temperature, which both affect the hatching rates of turtle eggs. Climate changes also cause violent weather and rising water levels to flood areas where turtles usually go to lay their eggs. Apart from this, oil spills and other poisonous pollution, as well as increased fishing activities can cause sickness, or even death to the green turtles.CheetahCheetahs are famous for being the fastest animal on land but even they can’t run from some of the larger threats that have harmed them. Like the panda bears, cheetahs have gradually been losing their natural homes due to humans claiming land and developing in those areas. To make matters even worse, smaller animals move away when these areas are occupied, which meansthat the cheetah has less food! Don’t forget that other large animals, such as lions, are also试卷第4页，总26页fighting for any food that they can find, so occasionally young cheetahs end up as prey too. Indian ElephantElephants are extremely intelligent animals and also the largest mammals that live on land. Sadly, in Asia many elephants were killed so that people could remove their tusks to use as decorative objects. While this practice has been banned now, some people still illegally continue. Forests in India have also been steadily destroyed and elephants are sometimes killed when they end up on human territory.5．Humans’ increasing demand for land doesn’t affect the number of ________. A ．Indian elephants B ．cheetahs C ．panda bears D ．green turtles6．We can save the largest mammals living on land by ________. A ．planting more bamboos B ．helping them find mates C ．stopping hunting them D ．preventing poisonous pollution7．The living conditions of the fastest animal on land become worse because ________. A ．forests have been destroyedB ．they are threatened by humans and larger animalsC ．people are fond of hunting wild animalsD ．no law bans people from removing their tusks 【答案】 5．D 6．C 7．B【解析】这篇文章介绍了近几年一些数量急剧减少的濒危野生动物。
