21、Attempt a guess at the following question: In the English-speaking world, which country has the least affordable homes? You are wrong if you guessed the US, even with the housing bubble （气泡） and main sadness. Nor is it the UK, where prices have risen because demand is far from supply. According to a recent survey of 227 cities around the globe, you must go south of the equator （赤道） to Australia to find the priciest homes．
The report measured a city’s housing market along the following guidelines. An “affordable” home required three times or less of the average family’s income to purchase. At four times earnings, a home fell into the “unaffordable” category. And a “seriously unaffordable” home needed five times a family’s income. In Australia, homes in the least affordable city cost just about 9.5 times the average income. Sydney, Perth, and Melbourne were only a little under this figure．
Australian officials offered little comment, apart from a general statement on the dismal findings. These prices make the possibility that many Australians will one day own a home largely unbelievable. Land rationing （配给制） and excessive development charges have raised prices, and the problem will only be solved through urgent action by the Rudd government．
Some American cities were also included on the least affordable list, four of which were in California. America is still involved in a mortgage（抵押）crisis, though, affecting the affordability of homes. Yet a number of US cities garnered “affordable” status, namely Dallas and Kansas. Australia had no cities listed in the top fifty places with affordable homes．
The survey suggests that you can find affordable homes in most places, just not if you’re Australian and choose to live down under．
【1】To buy an affordable house, you should pay _____．
A. 3 times or less of the average family’s income
B. 4 times or less of the average family’s income
C. 5 times or less of the average family’s income
D. 9.5 times or less of the average family’s income
【2】What caused the prices of houses to increase in Australia?
A．The rising family’s income．
B．The demand over supply.
C．The excessive development charges．
D．The decrease of land．
【3】The underlined word “dismal” in Paragraph 3 may mean _____．
A． cheerful B． satisfactory
C． difficult D．sad
【4】What might be the most suitable title for the passage?
A． Affordable Houses B． A House is a Dream First
C． Housing Bubble D． Homes Too Expensive
22、When I was having a walk through the park today, I met a friend I hadn’t seen for ages. She stared at me curiously. “You have kept this umbrella for years; it's old and out of date. I wonder why you keep it and take it wherever you go.” I smiled, “it means a great deal to me.” I simply gave her my shortest answer. Honestly speaking, I, either, could not understand the reason why I kept it.
Then all of a sudden, fallen leaves darkened my eyes with a strong wind. I grabbed the umbrella instinctively. The rain poured down. Thanks to my umbrella, I didn’t get wet at all.
“Why have I kept it for so long?” I asked myself, staring at my umbrella. I couldn’t remember when and where I bought it, for I’m always tired and lazy to answer questions. It could protect me from the heavy rain, I told myself eventually. Looking at the people rushing through the street, I felt safe. This might be another reason.
It is always so. We know a thunderstorm comes unexpectedly and goes without a warning. The sky cleared up. The sun shone brightly. Just as usual, I seized the umbrella with my left hand. Still there’s water dropping down. I walked among the noisy crowd and listened to what they were murmuring in their heart. “Today I will ask for a rise, or I'll leave this company.” Good luck to you, I smiled to him. “I’ll manage to make you live forever.” A little boy held a pet dog close to him. “She’ll be all right, because she is blessed.” I heard angels singing in this city.
The moment my fingertips touched the umbrella, I felt it’s dry, and it’s warm. Soon it became hot. I held it up to avoid harmful sunshine. Do I need a reason to explain why? Maybe I should think about it. I need my umbrella when it is sunny as well as when it is rainy.

D. he is kind enough to hope everyone will plan their life well
【3】What’s the most suitable title for the passage?
A. Try to notice every passer-by.
B. Umbrellas are important.
C. Always be prepared.
D. Weather changes unexpectedly.
23、Self-driving cars are so popular that the University of Michigan has even established a town called Mcity to allow car manufacturers to safely test their autonomous cars.
While Mcity can be used to simulate(模拟) many real-life road conditions, it cannot help test gestures drivers use to communicate their intention to other drivers, pedestrians or cyclists. To find a solution, US car manufacturer Ford, with researchers from Virginia Tech, initially considered using text as a way to communicate the car's intention, but decided it would probably not work universally. The option of using symbols was also discarded, because research shows that a majority of people do not have a good understanding of what they mean.
Finally, the researchers settled on light signals. A white light warned that there were no humans in the car. A slow blinking one indicated that the car was coming to a stop, while a rapidly flashing light cautioned passersby that the car was about to accelerate.
Then came the big challenge-testing the signals on real roads. “We needed to try out this new lighting to communicate the intention of the vehicle, but if you’ve got a driver behind the seat, you still have natural communication between humans,” said Andy Shaudt, who led the Virginia Tech research team. “So we needed to make it look like a driverless ear.”
The team designed a car seat costume(戏装) that the driver would wear to cover his/her face and upper body. Of course, the drivers could see very clearly. The researchers then equipped the car with cameras to capture human reactions to a light bar on the windshield(挡风玻璃), which flashed one of the three signals when appropriate. Six drivers, all keeping their hands low on the wheel so as not to be detected, took turns to test driving the car through the busy streets.
The overall reaction to the flashing lights was very encouraging. Who knew costumes could be useful for more than Halloween?
【1】What did the team first consider using as a way to communicate the car's intention?
A. Light B. Language
C. Symbols D. Sound
【2】The underlined word “they” in the second paragraph refers to .
A. svmbo1s B. drivers
C. researchers D. flashes
【3】What does a rapidly flashing light mean?
A. The car was coming to a stop B. There was no driver in the car
C. The car was about to speed up D. The car was about to slow down
【4】The car seat costume was intended to .
A. amuse the driver B. attract the pedestrians
C. warn the cyclists D. confuse the people
24、One thing you probably always wondered about is why Americans drive on a different side of the road than their British cousins. It might seem strange that the UK drivers stay on the left, but they are not alone. Around 35% of the world population does the same, including people in Ireland, Japan, and some Caribbean islands.
It is said that originally almost everybody traveled on the left side of the road. However their mode of transport was quite different from today: Think four legs instead of four wheels. For medieval（中世纪的）swordsmen on horseback, it made sense to keep to the left to have their right arms closer to enemies. Mounting and dismounting was also easier from the left side of the horse, and safer done by the side of the road than in the center.
Things changed in the late 1700s when large wagons pulled by several pairs of horses were used to transport farm products in France and the US. In the absence of a driver's seat inside the wagon, the driver sat on the left, with his right arm free to use his whip（鞭子）to keep the horses moving. Since he was sitting on the left, and wanted other wagons to pass on his left, so he kept to the right side of the road.
The British Government refused to give up their left-hand driving ways and made laws to encourage driving on the left. Meanwhile post-revolution France, under their left-handed ruler Napoleon, accepted the right side of the road. During all this driving confusion, the British and the French were giving up their power across the globe, and as part of their rapid colonization（殖民化）they insisted that the countries they occupied drive on the same side of the road. This explains why former British colonies such as Australia, New Zealand, and India drive on the left, while former French colonies like Algeria, Ivory Coast, and Senegal drive on the right.
【1】What’s the purpose of the first paragraph?
A．To make a question about two driving patterns.
B．To make a comparison about two driving patterns.
C．To give background of the text.
D．To support the following paragraphs.
【2】What can we learn from the second paragraph?

B．People in ancient times usually afforded to hang out by carriage.
C．Swordsmen rode warhorses to make them fight better.
D．Swordsmen usually rested their warhorses on the left side.
【3】Which of the following statements is not true according to the text?
A．The British Government carried out appropriate policies to change the left-hand driving situation.
B．The colonies are impacted by their former empires.
C．The colonial countries which insist on their traditions is a symbol of colonization.
D．The left-hand driving situation changed due to the need for delivering farm products.
【4】What’s the text mainly talking about?
A．The history of the left-hand rules in colonial corners.
B．The evolution process of the left-hand rules.
C．The medieval history of the left-hand rules.
D．The progress of the left-hand rules in colonies.
