21、Rescue officials in Poland are working quickly to clear one of the country’s highways. The roadway is covered with a sticky brown material. It is blocking cars from both directions.
What is causing the mess? Milk chocolate. The problems began early Wednesday, after a huge truck carrying many tons of liquid chocolate overturned. Chocolate spilled out. It spread across six driveways of Poland’s A2 highway.
The liquid chocolate solidified（凝固）as it cooled, causing even more difficulties. The accident happened near the western Polish town of Slupca. Bogdan Kowalski is with the fire fighters of Slupca. He told the Associated Press that “the cooling chocolate is worse than snow”.
Videos published on social media showed rescuers and cleaners were trying to move the sticky brown mess with a bulldozer（推土机）.
The private Polish broadcaster TVN24 reported that the driver of the truck was taken to a hospital with a broken arm. The accident happened in the morning when there was little traffic. Nobody else was harmed.
The sticky situation became a hot topic on social media. Some people offered to help the clean-up workers by eating the chocolate themselves.
Marlene Kukawa is a media officer for Slupea police. She told the New York Times that rescue workers needed to remove the truck from the highway first. “The cleanup”, she said at the time, “will take a few hours or more.” She added that accidents are rare in this part of the A2 highway. And, she told the New York Times, she is sure the area has never experienced something quite like a huge chocolate spill.
【1】What caused the traffic trouble?
A．A broken-down car.
B．Cars stuck on the highway.
C．Serious traffic accidents.
D．The liquid chocolate.
【2】What made the situation even worse?
A．The difficulty to get rid of the chocolate.
B．Fear caused by videos on social media.
C．The chocolate becoming hard.
D．Snow falling on the highway.
【3】Why did some people offer to eat the chocolate?
A．To avoid wasting the chocolate.
B．To reduce loss for the driver.
C．To play a joke.
D．To solve the problem.
【4】What did Marlene Kukawa think of the incident?
A．It happened very rarely.
B．It was the most serious accident.
C．It was unexpected by other drivers.
D．It was lucky that no one was killed.
22、 Almost everyone knows that red means “stop”, green means “go”, and yellow means “hurry up and make that damn light”. Why those colors，though? The answer lies in the fact that the earliest traffic signals were designed for trains, not cars. They were red and green, gas-powered，and more than a little dangerous in the event of a leak.
Red is an inherited (继承的) symbol from railroads，which symbolizes danger in many cultures. As red has a longer wavelength than any other color on the visible spectrum (光谱), it can be seen from a greater distance than other colors. Red has meant “stop” since long before cars existed, with train signals’ use of red dating back to the days when mechanical arms lifted and lowered to indicate whether the rail ahead was clear.
Green's wavelength is next to (and shorter than) yellow's on the visible spectrum，meaning it's still easier to see than any color other than red and yellow. Back in the early days of railway lights, green meant “caution”, while the “all-clear” light was, well, clear or white. It is said that several disastrous collisions happened after an engineer mistook stars in the night for an allclear. Thus，green became “go”, and for a long time, railways used only green and red to signal trains.
From the earliest days of motoring up until the mid1900s, not all stop signs were red—many were yellow，because at night it was all but impossible to see a red stop sign in a poorly lit area. In 1915 the yellow stop-sign craze began in Detroit, a city that five years later installed its first electric traffic signal, which happened to include the very first yellow traffic light.
But what of those mysterious yellow stop signs？As materials and technologies evolved, the ability to produce highly reflective signs meant that red could resume its natural spot in the sign group, leaving the still-highly-visible yellow to the domain (领域) of “caution”. That’s why school zones and buses, crosswalks, and other important warnings are yellow today.
【1】What were traffic lights originally intended for?
A.Cars. B.Trains. C.Planes. D.Ships.
【2】Why is red always used to mean “stop”？
A.It has the longest wavelength. B.People prefer red to other colors.
C.It can be seen even in dark areas. D.It represents danger in many cultures.
【3】What can we conclude from the text?
A.The meaning of red is culture specific.
B.Yellow acted as stop signs in the 1900s.
C.Green’s role in lights has changed over time.
D.Green’s wavelength is just second to that of red.
【4】What does the text mainly talk about?
A.The significance of road traffic signs.
B.The history of railroad transportation.
C.The symbolic meaning of different colors.
D.The origin and development of traffic lights.
23、 【1】 Spanish people drink Coca Cola, wear blue jeans, watch Hollywood movies, listen to American music, and eat fast food, and they do all these things daily.
I think that American movies are a good way to spread American culture because often people are influenced by what they see in the movies. Most of the entertainment programs and documentaries we watch on TV are from America, and most of the movies we go to are made in Hollywood.
【2】 Now, in our cinemas, at least twenty percent of the movies which are shown must be from Spain or from other countries in Europe.
American culture is very much a part of Spanish life. It’s certain that many things from America are as much a part of their lives as Spanish things. For example, Coca Cola is as familiar to everybody as any typical Spanish product. 【3】
However, it’s different with western fast food. For example, I don’t think McDonald’s is as successful in Spain as it is in other countries. In my opinion, one of the reasons may be the life style of the Spanish people.【4】
On the other hand, it may be that McDonald’s hamburgers will eventually replace the famous Spanish tapas. It’s true that in every city in Spain you can find a McDonald’s, and they are more popular among the Spanish children than among the adults.【5】
A.Many Spanish people like to watch movies.
B.The Spanish people normally eat at home.
C.I’ve known Coca Cola my whole life.
D.Most Spanish people prefer to eat in restaurants.
E.The influence of America is increasing in my country.
F.In the last few years, the government has tried to protect the Spanish movies.
G.In any case, it’s obvious that American culture has become a part of our lives.
24、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。
Dear Boris,
【1】After I had spent a week with my English family, I slowly began to understand their English a little better. 【2】Students in my group are from different cities of Britain and their dialects are different too! Some of their accents are quite strong and they also have their own words and expressions. 【3】Before I came to England I had thought that fish and chips were eaten every day. That’s quite wrong! I get rather annoyed now when I hear all the foolish words about typical English food. I had expected to see “London fog”. Do you remember our texts about it? We had no idea that most of this “thick fog” disappeared many years ago when people stopped using coal in their homes. But the idea to speak about weather was very helpful. 【4】On the other hand, habits are different. People tell me what is typical British here in London is not always typical in Wales or Scotland. 【5】But what is ordinary for all British is that they follow traditions(传统). Probably Britain has more living signs of its past than many other countries. And people have always been proud of having ancient (古老的) buildings in capitals, big cities and the countryside. I will tell you more about Britain in my other letters. Love from Britain.
A.The weather in London is really changeable.
B.I have difficulty in understanding my classmates.
C.Thanks for your nice letter.
D.The family I live with are friendly.
E.It’s very different from what I learned at school.
F.Local habits and traditions are not the same as what we knew.
G.But it’s not the language that’s different and surprising.

The ship started to leak and began to fill with water. The sailors were strong, able and willing. But after pumping for one whole night, they were losing the battle against the rising water and were on the ________of giving up.
The captain, as soon as he realized the ________, took charge. He ordered the sailors back to their pumps and encouraged them fiercely to ________ the ship. His strong will doubled their ________. How the men pumped like crazy! When the captain passed by me, I asked him whether there was any hope of saving the ship. He looked at me. “Yes sir.” he said. “While my feet remain standing above the water ________, there is hope. Neither I nor any of the sailors will leave the ship ________ it remains above the surface of the ________. We shall do everything we can to save the ship and if we should fail, it will not be our________.” Then he turned to all the passengers and shouted, “To the pumps, every one of you!”
Three times during that day when we almost wanted to give up, the captain's courage, determination and iron ________forced us to ________, and we went back to the pumps. “I will ________ you safe in Liverpool,” he cried. “If you will stay strong and firm with me.”
In the end the ship sank soon after it reached the port of Liverpool but the captain did land us safe. The captain stood at the edge of the ship once it was safely tied up to the wall of the port and ________the thanks of the passengers as they hurried off the ship. As I expressed to him my________, he held my hand firmly, looked into my eyes and said, “Sir, don’t you ________ me?” I told him that I did not. “The boy who you followed when he had so much difficulty in buying a geography book, some thirty years ago in Cincinnati?” “Why yes. I ________that boy very well. His name was William Hartley.” “I am that same William Hartley.” “Goodness!” I said, “What good fortune that I travelled with you as my captain!

26、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words asfar as possible.
How to Be a Successful Team Leader?
Every well-organized team needs to have an outstanding leader with specific skills. Sometimes the leader’s abilities can come to affect the whole team. Although we students are still young, it’s never too early to cultivate leadership skills.
A team consists of both leaders and followers. Neither side can exist and work effectively without the other. What is essential to the role of leader is the ability to unite the whole team. A great leader enables their team to achieve a common goal through the giving of clear directions and support. Meanwhile, everyone on a team also desires personal success, so a balance can be hard to strike. If a leader doesn’t have fierce determination, the followers will lose their confidence and things will not be done well.
What’s more, a successful and charming leader ought to be able to handle interpersonal relationships well. They should be honest, fair, objective and impartial (公正的) when it comes to both rewards and punishments. These kinds of leaders are trustworthy, and thus, the working atmosphere will only come to be improved. They are role models who can have a strong influence on the whole team.
To become a powerful leader at school, students have to take the initiative in connecting with their fellow students. Good communication skills allow people to build good relationships, which is an essential part of being a good leader. If you find it hard to express your ideas clearly to those who you collaborate with, it may be rather difficult for you to be a good leader.
It’s a well-known fact that, whatever field you wish to work in, leadership skills are necessary for anyone who desires to have a successful career. So it’s never too early to train yourselves as promising future leaders.
