A

I am always nervous when I get an email from my parents with “FYI （For Your Information）”. My parents are in their late 70s，and while they are quite healthy for their ages，I worry about what messages they are going to give me.

I got such an email in September from my father. He sent an email from my cousin who told that her father，my uncle Reese，had passed away. The news made my mind go blank though I have met him less than a dozen times in my life，because Reese was the f rst of my parent’s siblings（兄弟姐妹）to die，and I was simply not ready for that.

The memorial service was set in Florida，and I quickly decided I needed to go. I needed to be there for my father，and I needed to go for myself. Reese is about nine years older than my father，and I started to do the math in my head. I know that doesn’t make sense，but I will do anything to reason that I still have a lot of time before I am in my cousin’s shoes.

Reese’s memorial service was small with only family and perhaps a dozen of his friends. The funeral was attended by an even smaller number，and then，the family gathered at a nearby bar to look at old photographs found among Reese ’s possessions.

As we drove back to the Orlando International Airport，I thought about how I am not sure what my parents want，not only in their memorial services，but also how they want to be remembered and where they want to be laid to rest. There are going to be dif f cult conversations，but I know I need to have them. Maybe not right now，but we do need to open the discussion at some point. It may feel too early，but I trust my parents will know that when adult children raise these questions，we do it out of love to honor their lives and their wishes.

21. Why do emails with “FYI” make the author uneasy?

A. She’s too busy to read those emails.

B. She dislikes her parents’ nonstop talking.

C. They often bring unpleasant news.

D. She’s afraid to get bad news about her parents.

22. How did the author feel about the email from her cousin?

A. Disappointed. B. Shocked.

C. Confused. D. Annoyed.

23. What do we know from the third and fourth paragraphs?

A. A get-together was held at home.

B. Reese’s friends didn’t appear.

C. Not many people attended the funeral.

D. The author hesitated to go to Florida.

24. What does the author decide to do after the funeral?

A. Express her love for her parents bravely.

B. Have a talk with her parents about death.

C. Value her parents’ wishes.

D. Get everything ready for her parents.

Shanghai Disney Resort has revealed its ticket prices for Disneyland claiming the lowest of all 12 Disney parks and six resorts in the world.

Shanghai Disneyland ticket prices are set at 499 yuan（75 dollars）for the grand opening period （June 16～30，2016）and regular price at 370 yuan. Its regular price for a one-day ticket is lower than its peers in Hong Kong，which is priced at 539 yuan and the Disneyland in Tokyo in Japan at 374 yuan.

The project has been under construction for more than six years now. June 16—that is，6-16-2016—has been apparently chosen as the date of opening because the three 6 s are believed to be auspicious，foretelling success.

Why does most of the world travel on the right side today? Theories differ，but there’s no doubt Napoleon was a major inf uence. The French have used the right since at least the late 18th century. Some say that before the French Revolution，noblemen drove their carriages on the left，forcing the peasants to the right. Regardless of the origin，Napoleon brought right-hand traffic to the nations he conquered，including Russia，Switzerland and Germany. Hitler，in turn，ordered right-hand traff c in Czechoslovakia and Austria in the 1930s. Nations that escaped right-hand control，like Great Britain，followed their left-hand tradition.

The U.S. has not always been a nation of right-hand drivers； earlier in its history，carriage and horse traff c travelled on the left，as it did in England. But by the late 1700s ，people driving large wagons pulled by several pairs of horses began promoting a shift（改变）to the right. A driver would sit on the rear（后面的）left horse in order to wave his whip（鞭子）with his right hand； to see opposite traff c clearly，they travelled，on the right.

One of the f nal moves to f rmly standardize traff c directions in the U.S. occurred in the 20th century，when Henry Ford decided to mass-produce his cars with controls on the left（the reason was stated in a 1908 catalog： the convenience for passengers exiting directly onto the edge，especially if there is a lady to be considered）. Once these rules were set，many countries eventually adjusted to the right-hand standard，including Canada in the 1920s，Sweden in 1967 and Burma in 1970. The U.K. and former colonies such as Australia and India are among the Western world’s few remaining holdouts（坚持不变者）. Several Asian nations，including Japan，use the left as well—though many places use both right-hand-drive and left-hand-drive cars.

28. Why did people in Switzerland travel on the right?

A. They had used the right-hand traf fic since the 18th century.

B. Rich people enjoyed driving their carriages on the right.

C. Napoleon introduced the right-hand traff c to this country.

D. Hitler ordered them to go against their left-hand tradition.

29. Of all the countries below，the one that travels on the right is_______.

A. Austria B. England

C. Japan D. Australia

30. Henry Ford produced cars with controls on the left_______.

A. in order to change traff c directions in the U.S.

B. so that passengers could get off conveniently

C. because rules at that time weren’t perfect

D. though many countries were strongly against that

31. According to the passage，which of the following is TRUE?

A. Before the French Revolution，all the French people used the right.

B. People in Britain and the U.S. travel on the same side nowadays.

C. The Burmese began to travel on the right in 1970.

D. All the Asian nations use the left at present.

D

Today’s modern life discourages people from taking time to prepare their own meals. Eating in the car and grabbing a quick bite in a restaurant are ever more popular ways of dining. It takes a little extra ef fort and time to cook your own food，but it’s a worthwhile pursuit（追 求）that can benef t your health，wallet and family.

People across the country are waking up to the fact that the food offered by most fast food restaurants isn’t particularly healthy. While these restaurant have made attempts lately to add healthier meals to their menus，it’s still a far cry from a dish cooked with fresh ingredients（配料）and personal care.

Nutritionists who study what is called “the French paradox”—meaning the fact that French people have low obesity rates despite their diet containing lots of “unhealthy” ingredients such as butter—partially account for this circumstance by the fact that many French people use fresh ingredients. Taking time to eat at a leisurely pace also helps you get better nutrition and you are less likely to pack on the pounds.

Even a quick meal will usually cost at least f ve dollars per person at a restaurant. Compare this to the amount of pasta，vegetables or meat available for the same money at your home，and it quickly becomes apparent that the cost of eating out adds up.

Experimenting with new ingredients or foreign recipes will encourage children to try new foods and learn about dishes from around the world. Many couples also f nd that preparing a meal together can be a romantic experience equal to dinner in a classy，low-lit restaurant. Make sure to spend meal times talking and sharing events from the day and you may f nd it’s a great way to get to know your family better.

32. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?

A. Fast food does great harm to people.

B. More people prefer dining out today.

C. There’re different reasons for dining out.

D. Many people still approve of cooking at home.

33. The underlined phrase “a far cry from” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “________”.

A. different from B. absent from C. equal to D. superior to

34. What is “the French paradox” referred to in the passage?

A. To show the French diet is fairly delicious.

B. To illustrate the French have a healthy diet.

C. To stress the importance of using fresh food ingredients.

D. To prove the French diet makes people fat easily.

35. What advantage of cooking at home does the last paragraph talk about?

A. Strengthen family bonds.

B. Save your money up.

C. Expose you to foreign cultures.

D. Get children educated better.

From then on，I usually came to the of f ce very early to see dew（露 水）forming on the locust tree blossoms，and was eager to see spring again every year.

Many times，I wanted to take photos but never did. Then，I had to leave in a hurry. Later in life，it became a great regret that I had not done so.

Dear editor，

I am Evan from Canada. Being the oldest child in the family has its disadvantages. First of all，I have to share all my toys with my young sisters. Of course，they don’t need to return to the favor because I’m total uninterested in their things. Besides，they are always hanging around me. I just can’t get moment’s peace. At meals，I have to eat whichever is on the plate regardless of the taste. My sisters only try one bite if it’s not our favorite food. In addition，when it comes to practice our musical instruments，I have to practice more than double the time. Worst of all，I got a larger quantity of housework. Comparing to them，I’m feeling rather annoyed. Can you please give me some advices?

Yours truly，

Evan Smith

Dear Li Jie，

I have received your letter. No doubt every Senior 3 student wishes to be successful in the National College Entrance_Examination. Yet what should we do in order to achieve success? Here are some suggestions.

First，it’s vital to have a right attitude，for a normal state of mind and self-con f dence not only helps us relax but also enables us to overcome dif f culties bravely. Meanwhile，we should have a def nite goal and a correct estimation of ourselves. Only in this way will we face everything in life more objectively. Besides，we’d better talk with our parents，teachers or classmates，who may help us out when we are in trouble. Finally，striking a good balance between study and rest keeps us energetic and a healthy diet is useful as well.

With these done，I think we can greatly improve our performance.

Yours，

Li Hua
