21、Driving a car is not just handling controls and judging speed and distance. It requires you to predict what other road users will do and get ready to react to something unexpected. When alcohol is consumed,it enters your bloodstream and acts as a depressant(抑制药),damaging eyesight,judgement and coordination(协调),slowing down reaction time and greatly increasing the risk of accidents. Even below the drink driving limit,driving will be affected.
Alcohol may take a few minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and start action on the brain. Absorption rate is increased when drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming drinks mixed with fruit juice. To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process and it is not possible to speed it up with any measures like taking a shower or having a cup of tea or coffee.
The present Road Traffic Ordinance states clearly that the limit of alcohol concentration(浓度) is:
•50 milligrams of alcohol per 100 mL of blood;or
•22 micrograms of alcohol per 100 mL of breath;or
•67 milligrams of alcohol per 100 mL of urine(尿液).
Drivers who cause traffic accidents,or who commit a moving traffic offence or are being suspected(怀疑) of drink driving will be tested.
Any driver found drinking beyond the limit will be charged. The driver declared guilty may be fined a maximum of HK $25,000 and be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison and punished for 10 driving offence points;or temporarily banned from driving.
The same punishment applies to (适用于)failing to provide specimens(样本)for breath,blood or urine tests without good excuse.
Drink driving is a criminal offence. Be a responsible driver,think before you drink. For the safety of yourself and other road users,never drive after consuming alcohol.
【1】The first paragraph is mainly about ______.
A. the process of alcohol being absorbed
B. the damage of drinking to your body
C. the effect of drinking on driving
D. the introduction of driving skills
【2】The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “______”.
A. alcohol B. process
C. blood D. absorption
【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Drinking below the drink driving limit has no effect on driving.
B. 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100 mL of breath is below the drink driving limit.
C. Having a cup of tea helps to get rid of alcohol from the body.
D. Alcohol is taken in more quickly when drunk with fruit juice.
【4】A driver suspected of drink driving ______.
A. will be punished for 10 driving offence points
B. will be forbidden to drive for 3 years

D. should pay a maximum fine of HK$25,000
22、Not many people have an emergency fund even though it is essential. It will become your financial buffer (缓冲)in case something unexpected occurs. 【1】 You can one day tell yourself you’ll finally start saving up, but with the bills you need to pay and the other needs you must consider, your plan might fail. Here are a few aspects for you to consider when you wish to succeed in saving your rainy day fund.
Usually, it is suggested that you save a total of three to six months’ worth of expenses. 【2】 And if you get overwhelmed by the amount you need to save, you might become discouraged and fail. To settle the issue, forget about that suggestion. You should decide how much you want to save initially. For instance, you can just start with one month's worth of expenses. 【3】
Budgeting is also important if you want to be financially healthy. Note what expenses are non-negotiable, such as your living expenses and food. 【4】 It's not bad to spoil yourself sometimes, as long as the price is reasonable relative to your current financial situation.
【5】 For instance, those who wish to pursue higher education will need to budget and save up for their school expenses. Even if they go to an affordable educational institution, other school-related expenses can still be quite a lot. So, knowing how to budget will help them survive school without falling much into debt.
A.Therefore, you need to find a way to deal with it.
B.Budgeting can help improve your academic performance.
C.And when you achieve that, then you can set a higher goal.
D.However, saving an emergency fund is easier said than done.
E.Set aside some money for some non-essential expenses as well.
F.But it's not that easy to set aside such a huge amount all of a sudden.
G.Learning how to budget will be useful in other areas of your life as well.
23、 The beach may seem like an inviting place to run on a cool summer morning, but is running on the sand good for your body? It can be, but it’s important to be aware of the challenges that some beach runners experience before you get ready.
Running on the beach can be a good thing. It’s certainly different from running on a track or a pavement. For starters, sand can be a challenge because it has an uneven (不平坦的) surface. As you push off, you’re going to lose some of your push as the sand moves. So, you’re not going to be able to push yourself forward as you would on a track or a pavement. But this unevenness has an upside; It gives your body an extra workout, forcing you to exercise muscles that don’t get as much use during runs on firm surfaces. For example, your feet, ankles and lower back might feel sorer and more tired than usual after a beach run just because the surface is constantly moving and changing step to step.
You also might feel sore afterward because beaches tend to slope (倾斜) down to the water. If you’re going for a long run on the beach, you might notice that one side of your body might feel sorer because you’re putting more pressure on it due to the slope.
Some beach runners prefer to run barefoot — not wearing anything on feet. However, if you’re not used to barefoot running, start slowly and don’t run long distances at first. That’s because running barefoot uses more different muscles than running with shoes does, and it’s important to strengthen these muscles and adapt your feet. If you want to run barefoot and as long as you run carefully enough into it, go for it!
Running on the sand can be a smart choice for you, because running on softer ground surfaces can reduce muscle damage.
【1】Why is it difficult to run on the beach for starters?
A.Running on its uneven surface takes much effort.
B.People need to run carefully on its smooth surface.
C.The soft surface makes people fall over easily.
D.It’s hard to keep one’s balance on its hard surface.
【2】Which of the following best explains “upside” underlined in Paragraph 2?
A.Character. B.Reason.
C.Advantage. D.Challenge.
【3】The passage can probably be found in ________.
A.A primary school textbook B.A sports magazine
C.A tourist guide D.A scientific report
24、The United States is a country of immigrants. It is a place where people from all over the world come to build a better life. Some immigrants bring their families. Some bring a few of their favorite things. Others come alone with nothing but determination. One thing that every immigrant brings with them is their culture.
American immigration began in 1607 with the colony (殖民地) of Jamestown. In 1620, another group of people left England to build a settlement in America. They wanted to go to a place where they could practice their religion freely. Then many more people left their homes in Europe to build a better life in America. Many also came to America from Africa. By 1770, more than two million people had moved to America. Later on, more people came to the United States than ever before.
In cities all over America, you can see different cultures that formed this country. Many things that you may think of as being “American” are actually from a foreign culture. Some of the best examples of this are the foods people eat. Pizza and spaghetti are foods that all Americans know and love. But both of them are from Italy. Baseball is an all-American sport. But the hot dogs that people eat during the game are a type of food that was brought to America by German immigrants.
Over time, pizza and hot dogs have become a part of what is considered to be American food. In the same way, different groups of people have come together to define what an American is. An American can be a person of any background. An American can be of any faith. An American can be of any skin color. They can speak English clearly. They can speak English with an accent. Each new immigrant adds something new to American culture. It will keep changing as more people come to this country.
