24、Driving in a foreign country is always different in at least some ways from driving in your own country．Here are some general points regarding driving in New Zealand．
●Visitors wishing to drive in New Zealand do not require an international driver’s license but are required to carry their local driver’s license whenever driving．
●Vehicles drive on the left-hand side of the road as they do in Britain, Australia, and Japan．Most rental vehicles will have a sticker reminding you of this important fact．
●When the traffic light is red, you must stop．There is no left turn rule as in North America．
●New Zealand road rules follow international standards but please note that in New Zealand vehicles turning left must give way to traffic turning right．
●In general, if you are turning left （where there are give-way signs or no signs）, give way to vehicles that not turning．In all other situations, give way to vehicles crossing or coming from your right．
●Seat belts must be worn at all times while driving in New Zealand．This stands for the driver and passengers．The driver is responsible for ensuring all passengers are wearing their seatbelts．
●Do not drink alcohol before driving in New Zealand—drinking and driving laws are strictly enforced．
●Speed limits are in kilometres per hour （kph）, not miles per hour （mph）．
Speed conversion: 1 kph equals 0．621 mph; 1 mph equals 1．61 kph．
●The speed limit on the open road is 100km/h．In towns and cities the speed limit is 50km/h．Be sure to obey all school crossing speed reductions as speed cameras operate regularly throughout New Zealand．

22、Our town is in the eastern part of our country．Once a year, we elect a girl to show how beautiful and great our town is．All the girls are eager to get this position in an effort to become popular．
It was not an easy choice this year, since there were eight girls to choose from．The elder judge finally decided that either Sara or May would get the position．Both girls were beautiful with extraordinary appearance．Besides, they had a good education and cared about how pollution had a bad effect on the earth．Most important, both girls got up early to eat eggs at their breakfast．Eggs were important to people of the east of our town because the economy here depended mainly on the production of eggs．
“Either girl will win,” my father said, “But someone will cry in the end．”
“Either will be fine,” I said, “They are both great girls．”
The final round was held at the east edge of our town．Sara lived nearby so she did not need to get up early to arrive．However, she was the first person there．“You know what they say about the early bird． ”she said with a smile．
However, May arrived fifteen minutes late to the competition．“It’s the taxi driver’s fault,” she said．“I told him to head east, but he was in one ear and thought I said Bread Cheese．You know, Bread Cheese is the name of our neighboring town．”
I thought May would certainly lose because she was late, but to my surprise, she turned out to be this year’s winner． The judges liked her answer to their last question, “If you could have anything in the world, what would it be?” Sara replied, “World peace．” May, on the other hand, said, “Better market to have our eggs sell well”．
1． Why was it difficult to make a choice this year?
A． Because the girls just looked alike．
B． Because people had to choose from eight girls．
C． Because all the girls liked eggs．
D． Because all the girls had a good education．

A． she liked the early bird very much．
B． she was sure that she would succeed．
C． she lived nearby, so she should get there early．
D． she wanted to show off her good language knowledge．
3． Why was May chosen in the end?
A． Because she arrived late and gave enough explanation．
B． Because she gave a different answer from Sara’s．
C． Because she looked more beautiful than Sara．
D． Because her answer was more practical than Sara’s．
4． According to the passage, which of the following maps is correct?
21、
If you have heard the report that the Cabinet（内阁）of the government of the Maldives, an Indian island nation, has held a meeting under water to make people aware of climate change, you will grasp the chance to visit the Maldives as soon as possible．
Activities
The pure white beaches and brilliant sunlight in the Maldives invite tourists with promises of “the last paradise（天堂）on earth”．It's also a major destination for scuba divers, who come for the fantastic coral reefs（珊瑚礁）and the wealth of life in the ocean．But it's not a place for those with a low travel budget（预算）or those who want to travel independently and live as the locals do．
The tourism strategy
Tourism in the Maldives is carefully managed．The lack of local resources makes it necessary to import everything that a visitor needs, so it can't really compete on price．The strategy has been to develop a limited number of good tourist spots, each on its islands where no people live．
The tourism strategy also aims to reduce the bad effects of tourism on their traditional way of life．Tourists can pay short guided visits to local fishing villages, but must then return to their tourist spot．To stay longer or to travel to islands outside the tourist zone requires a good reason and a special permit．
Warning
The islands of the Maldives were hit by a tsunami（海啸）caused by a big underwater earthquake on December 26．The Maldives—a popular diving and honeymoon destination in the Indian Ocean—is one of several nations circling the Bay of Bengal that were hit by the terrible waves．Around 50 people have been killed．Travelers are urged to delay visiting those areas, and to seek advice from their local governments．
1．This passage most likely appears in a （an） ．
A．CD review B．art report C．travel guide D．history book
2．The most popular activities in Maldives do NOT include ________．
A．riding an elephant B．going scuba diving
C．doing sun bathing D．enjoying the beautiful scenery
3．We can learn from the passage that ________．
A．The Maldives is a perfect destination for people with a low travel budget
B．The Maldives is located in the Indian Ocean
C．Visitors can travel to islands outside the tourist zone without any permit
D．The government of the Maldives never considers protecting their traditional way of life
