22、While visiting the UK, you’ll find how good British people are at waiting, specially in queues.

Everywhere in the UK, it’s common to see queues. People wait in long lines at bus stops, in shops and in cinemas,

Speaking to BBC News, Bate Bradley, a lecture at the University of Kent, said that queuing in the UK isn’t just about showing good will toward other people. British people like everything to be in perfect order, so being shouted at for skipping ahead of someone in a line is something that most Brits try to avoid.

The British love of queuing goes back to World War II. Because of wartime rationing, people had to wait in line to get something important in a shop, specially food. The government at the time was worried that trouble and disorder would happen. If that happened, people would not get food from a shop in time. So, it made a point of telling people that queuing was polite and a British thing to do. And that message is still alive today.

There’s probably only one factor that will make a Briton’s willingness to stand patiently in line different—the weather. It can change quickly in the UK. One minute it can be fine, and the next it can be wet and windy. If people are queuing in bad weather, their main hope is that the bus arrives soon, or that the people in front of them will give up and decide to leave.

If someone decides to break queuing rules in bad weather, tensions can become very high indeed. This is because most British people will certainly speak up and tell the queue-jumper to get to the back of the line.

But if the weather is good, queuing can be fun. When people are waiting, they may be excited about the thing they’re waiting for. There’s an air of expectation when people are standing in line for a pop film, for example. This can make queuing for something a very enjoyable experience.

【1】Why are most British people willing to wait in line?

A．They are told to do so by local government.

B．They really like doing things in good order.

C．They think it is a good way to make friends.

D．They expect to show good manners to others.

【2】If someone pushes in before others, what will probably happen?

A．He or she will be punished or fined.

B．He or she will be asked to queue again.

C．He or she will be accepted though it’s impolite.

D．He or she will not be allowed to join the queue again.

【3】What does the underlined word “It” refer to in Paragraph 4?

A．The food.

B．The shop.

C．The message.

D．The government.

【4】This passage mainly talks about ________.

A．why the British government wanted people to queue

B．why people in the UK enjoy queuing in public places

C．why British people don’t like queuing in bad weather

D．why people in the UK think queuing is always great fun

23、   Lighting is one of the most beautiful natural phenomena（现象）. It is also one of the most deadly phenomena. A bolt of lightning is six times hotter than the surface（表面）of the Sun and gives out 30,000 amps of electricity（电）. It can travel at 100, 000 kilometres per hour and has the ability to hit a target up to 40 kilometres away. About 1, 000 people around the world are killed by lightning every day.

Only about ten percent of people struck by lightening will actually die, but the others are actually very badly injured, with burns, broken bones, blindness, deafness, paralysis, or memory loss. However, when the electricity passes through their brain, it can occasionally have unusual and even positive effects. Some blind people have got their sight back after being struck by lightning. One woman said a psychological test showed her intelligence （智力）had greatly improved, and one man said he could no longer feel cold at all and could go out in temperature below freezing in just a T-shirt!

So what should you do to stay safe in a thunderstorm? The most important rule is to stay inside, but do not go near phones, electrical appliances, plumbing, or water. If you are stuck outside, do not take shelter under a tree. Instead, roll yourself up into a ball on the ground as small as possible. And do not think it has to be raining in order for lightning to strike.

Strangely, lightning seems to prefer some people to others. If you are a man, you are six times more likely to be struck by lightning than a woman!

【1】What docs the phrase “positive effects” in Paragraph Two possibly mean?

A.something good B.something bad C.something useful D.something useless

【2】In order to stay safe in a thunderstorm, you should do the following EXCEPT ________.

A.stay inside B.roll up into a ball

C.take shelter under a tree D.stay away from water

【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?________

A.Lightning is a beautiful but dangerous phenomenon.

B.Most people struck by lightning will actually die.

C.Lightning can travel at 10,000 kilometres per hour.

D.A woman is more likely to be struck by lightning than a man.

【4】The writer uses the examples of a man and a woman in Paragraph Two to________.

A.show lightning is very dangerous to human beings

B.make the readers want to know more about lightning

C.help people know lightning will surely improve their intelligence

D.prove something surprising, interesting may happen because of lightning

【5】You may read this passage in________.

A.a story book B.a science magazine C.a tour guide book D.an advertisement

24、缺词填空

Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses w【1】large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads in their s【2】time.

In fact, happiness is always a【3】 you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always t【4】 good care of your life and your health; when you get s【5】, your friends will say congratulations to (祝贺) you; when you do something w【6】, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel h【7】, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.

Happiness is not the s【8】as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you m【9】 with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to changes(向……挑战) yourself. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转) door. When it closes, it also o【10】. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
