Before   paper   was   invented,   people   wrote   or   drew   on   materials   such     as   bamboo,    1     [sɪlk], animal hide, and wooden blocks. Writing materials were    2    (real) expensive and few people learned to read. Therefore, few people wrote. This all changed, thanks    3    an man named Cai Lun.

Paper had already existed (存在) in China , but the process for    4    (produce) it was difficult and the paper was of low quality. Cai Lun began experimenting ( 试 验 ) with many different materials and different    5    (method) to turn those materials into paper.

As a Chinese student, 2 你应该了解一些关于丝绸之路的事。

3 Long ago, traders brought treasures from the East to the West. Trips to the West became more favorable when traders found silks and spices(香料). These treasures were not ordinary goods that were easy to get.

4丝绸之路不是一条真正的路。It was a route (路线) between the East and the West. It went through China, Turkey and Greece. Some traders traveled over land and others sailed across the sea. There was danger along both routes.

Over time, the Silk Road changed people in both the East and the West. Traders shared stories about faraway lands. They brought back drawings of the places and things they had seen, which helped people learn about new cultures. 5 Because of the Silk Road, the world seemed much smaller.

3 . People in different countries speak different languages. But is there a lanuage that can be understood by everyone in the world ? Emojis might be the first truly universal(通用的)language.

Emojis are a kind of special language. Pictures are used to put meaning across. A group called the Unicode Consortium is in charge of choosing official(官方的) emojis. It has added new emojis every year since 2014. These new emojis do not come out of nowhere. They come from what people think about, like and care about.

Emojis can be used to represent (代表) different groups of people.   In 2015,   emoji faces with different skin tones (肤色） were added.   In 2016,   different jobs were added, such as   doctor,   police   officer and painter along with female versions of these jobs. This year, emojis of disabled people were added, including emojis of blind people and people in wheel chairs.

But there is also more to emojis. They can also refer to pop culture and new cultural trends. New emojis in 2019 have included several animals, such as sloths（树懒）   and flamingos (火烈鸟).These animals are not very common, but are known to many people. For example, sloths have become popular thanks to the 2016 film Zootopia (《疯狂动物城 》   ). Many fashion designers have included flamingos in their designs in recent years. This animal makes people feel like they're on a tropical (热带） vacation.

It seems that emojis are a mirror of the world we live in. It will be interesting to see how they change and grow in the years to come.

8 . History books tell us that the city of Rome was set up in 152 B. C. It's a fact，however，that by 100 A. D., Rome was the centre of a big empire. It was from Syria in the east to Spain in the west，from Britain in the north to Africa in the south. All or part of 27 of today's countries were included in the Roman Empire.   All of their people were ruled by one government，that of Rome. All educated people spoke the same language，Latin.   And one of the empire's outposts(前哨) was called Londinium. This unimportant town would later become London，England，and the, centre of another empire.
The Roman Empire came to an end about 1 ,500 years ago. Yet in some ways it is still with us. Take the letters you are reading，for example，English，like many other languages，uses the Roman alphabet(字母)while also borrowing many words.   The laws of many European countries are based on ancient Roman laws.   Roman ruins(废墟)are seen throughout Europe，North Africa, and the Middle East. In some places，Roman roads and water courses are still in use. To this day，a European in North Africa is likely to be called "Roumi"- Roman. Even modern place names are often after Ancient Rome.   Both Greece and Germany have the names given by the Romans rather than the names that their own people first called them.
1. The main idea of Paragraph 2 is that Roman culture is         .

A．dead and done	B．still part of the present
C．based completely on language	D．unimportant to history

2. What happened first?

A．Londinium was an outpost.	B．The Roman Empire fell apart.
C．London became the centre of an empire.	D．The city of Rome was founded.

A．In Europe，27 countries had the same laws.

B．In Europe，people still use Roman names in some places.

C．We may see some remaining parts of Roman Empire in North Africa.

9 . There are two ways of driving in the world: if the driver's seat is on the left and cars travel on the right side of the road, it is called "left-hand driving", as it is in China, while the other way of driving is called "right-hand driving", as it is in Britain. Nowadays, around 65% of the world's population drives on the right of the road, while the rest is used to driving on the left.

Though no one knows the exact reasons, it seems likely that people in ancient times travelled on the left of the road. Roman coins show pictures of horsemen passing on each other's right. And right-hand people generally got on a horse from the animal's left. Obviously, it's safer to do this at the left side of the road, and it makes sense(行得通)for the horse to be ridden on the left.

A change happened in the late 1700s. When Napoleon(拿破仑)conquered(攻占)nations, he forced them to travel on the right side of the road, which spread left-hand driving throughout Europe. However, Britain still stuck with the right-hand driving rule and countries which were part of the British Empire were made to follow. This is why India, Australia and the former British colonies(前英国殖民地)in Africa continue to drive on the left. One exception(例外)is Egypt, as that country was defeated(打败)by Napoleon before becoming part of the British Empire.

Some countries changed sides until modern times. Sweden only moved to driving on the right in 1967 and Iceland changed the following year. Ghana changed sides in 1974. On September 7,   2009, Samoa became the third country ever to change from left-to-right-hand driving for the reason that it made it easier to import(进口) cheap cars from right-hand driving Japan, Australia and New Zealand.

So if you want to travel to another country or go on business, make sure you know whether it is left-or right-hand driving to avoid unnecessary troubles.

1. Which picture shows the correct driving in Britain?

A．

B．

C．

D．

D．Napoleon helped with the spread of left-hand driving.

3. What is the writer's purpose for writing this passage?

A．To explain the advantages of the two ways of driving.

B．To introduce the development of the two ways of driving.

C．To complain about the change of the two ways of driving.

D．To compare the differences of the two ways of driving.

10 . New York City isn’t the biggest city in the world, but it is the biggest city in the USA. Most American live in much smaller cities and towns, but almost 8 million people live in New York. Why did so many people come to live in one place?

In 1926, the Dutch paid (付钱) the Indians twenty-four dollars for the island of Manhattan. Its Dutch name was New Amsterdam. Then the British took the land in 1664 and changed its name to New York.
