In a history textbook.BDriving a car is not just handling controls and judging speed and distance. It requires you to predict what other road users will do and get ready to react to something unexpected. When alcohol is consumed，it enters your bloodstream and acts as a depressant（抑制藥），damaging eyesight，judgement and coordination（協(xié)調(diào)），slowing down reaction time and greatly increasing the risk of accidents. Even below the drink driving limit，driving will be affected. Alcohol may take a few minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and start action on the brain. Absorption rate is increased when drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming drinks mixed with fruit juice. To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process and it is not possible to speed it up with any measures like taking a shower or having a cup of tea or coffee. The present Road Traffic Ordinance states clearly that the limit of alcohol concentration(濃度) is： 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100 mL of blood；or 22 micrograms of alcohol per 100 mL of breath；or 67 milligrams of alcohol per 100 mL of urine（尿液） Drivers who cause traffic accidents，or who commit a moving traffic offence or are being suspected(懷疑) of drink driving will be tested. Any driver found drinking beyond the limit will be charged. The driver declared guilty may be fined a maximum of HK $25,000 and be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison and punished for 10 driving offence points；or temporarily banned from driving. The same punishment applies to （適用于）failing to provide specimens（樣本）for breath，blood or urine tests without good excuse. Drink driving is a criminal offence. Be a responsible driver，think before you drink. For the safety of yourself and other road users，never drive after consuming alcohol.5.

A driver suspected of drink driving _.A. will be punished for 10 driving offence points B. will be forbidden to drive for 3 yearsC. should provide specimens for testing D. should pay a maximum fine of HK$25,000CIts OK to say youve never heard of grimeunless youre from the UK. Thats because this music was invented in the UK in the early 2000s.To someone whos not familiar with underground music culture, its easy to get confused between hip-hop and grime since they are both noisy. And many people didnt bother to tell them apart, until earlier this month when grime stars like Stormzy and J Hus led this years Mobo “music of black origin”award nominations (提名) in the UK.Just like UK electronic music and hip-hop, from which grime drew influence, it mostly reflects the thoughts of young people. But different from hip-hop, grime singers sing in dialects with strong accents, giving a special flavor to their songs.Lady Leshurr, known as the Grime Queen said that she once tried to hide her accent, as she didnt want people to judge her. But one day, she realized that she didnt need to change herself just to please others. And theres no doubt that this is the most basic and important quality of grime music: be yourself.Also different from the hip-hop culture, which usually focuses on being rich, grime singers pay more attention to social phenomena (現(xiàn)象) like the European refugee (難民) problem and the gap between the rich and poor.Although still quite young, grime seems to be getting favored by more and more people. In 2016, the English grime artist Skepta won the Mercury Prize with his album Konnichiwa, beating big names like David Bowie and Radiohead. However, no matter whether grime is one day accepted by the mainstream music world or not, one thing is for sure: in grime, singers always stay true to themselves.9. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Electronic music. B. Hip-hop. C. Grime music. D. Black music.10. What can be learned about grime singers?A. They care too much about themselves. B. They refuse to be judged by others.C. They tend to take social responsibility.D. They show strong independence qualities.11. What does Skeptas success suggest?A. Grime is gradually getting recognized. B. Singers should try to be themselves.C. Grime has become mainstream music. D. It is easy to win the Mercury Prize.DWhile famous foreign architects are invited to lead the designs of landmark buildings in China such as the new CCTV tower and the National Center for the Performing Arts, many excellent Chinese architects are making great efforts to take the center stage.Their efforts have been proven fruitful. Wang Shu a 49-year-old Chinese architect, won the 2012 Pritzker Architecture Prize -which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize in architecture- -on February 28. He is the first Chinese citizen to win this award.Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at the China Department at the China Academy of Art(CAA). His office is located at the Xiangshan campus （校園）of the university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Many buildings on the campus are his original creations.The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities. Many visitors were amazed by the complex architectural space and abundant building types. The curves （曲線）of the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills, forming a unique view.Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages. He asked the workers to use traditional techniques to make the bricks into walls, roofs and corridors. This creation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements. Wangs works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good knowledge of traditions. Through such a balance, he had created a new type of Chinese architecture, said Tadao Ando, the winner of the1995 Pritzker Prize.Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums. “That is only evidence that traditions once existed, “ he said.“Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions. They think tradition means old things from the past. In fact, tradition also refers to the things that have been developing and that are still being created, “he said.“Today, many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather than focusing on Chinese traditions. Many people tend to talk about traditions without knowing what they really are, said Wang.The study of traditions should be combined, with practice. Otherwise, the recreation of traditions would be artificial and empty, he said. 12. Wangs winning of the prize means that Chinese architects areA. following the latest world trend B. working harder than ever beforeC. getting international recognition D. relying on foreign architects13. What impressed visitors to the CAA Xiangshan campus most?A. Its unique style. B. Its large sizeC. Its hilly environment. D. Its diverse functions.14. What made Wangs architectural design a success？A. The mixture of different shapes. B. The harmony of old and new.C. The use of popular techniques D. The balance of East and West15. What should we do about Chinese traditions according to Wang?A. Spread them to the world. B. Preserve them at museums.C. Teach them in universities. D. Recreate them in practice.第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題3分，滿分15分）根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。Before there was the written word, there was the language of dance.
