ALook at the map of Spain and point at the center. You’ve located the country’s capital and one of Europe’s most beautiful cities: Madrid. This popular destination is considered a city of contrasts with its abundant historic sites, resting in the shadows of modern skyscrapers.HistoryThis city of over 3 million people is proud of Western Europe’s largest royal palace, and some consider it to be Madrid’s most beautiful building.Inside the Royal Palace of Madrid, 2,800 rooms are decorated in glory with museum-quality furniture and artworks. Tourists can tour 50 of these large and splendid rooms.ArtThe internationally respected Prado Museum is the largest and most impressive art gallery in Spain. Opened in 1819, it is filled with works of art that feature the world’s most comprehensive collection of Spanish paintings.ShoppingMadrid has some of Europe’s best shopping, and potential buyers love to look through the stores looking for bargains. But for 500 years, shoppers have gathered to an extremely large outdoor flea market known as El Rastro where they find everything from antiques to CDs.EntertainmentNo trip to Madrid is complete without seeing a performance of Spain’s famous art form, flamenco. Every day, flamenco performers sing, dance or play the guitar in small cafes and grand theaters alike. FoodMadrid has a wide variety of restaurants, but because the Spanish typically eat late at about 9 or 10 pm., it’s difficult to find good dinner food earlier. If you get hungry before then, the best solution is to try a tapas bar where light snacks are served. Be sure to try the jamon, a kind of dry-cured ham—Spain is famous for it.21. What do we know about the Royal Palace of Madrid according to the passage?A. It has 50 rooms for visit.B. It can hold 2,800 people.C. It’s been visited by 3 million people.D. It is thought to be the largest in Europe.22. What kind of market is “El Rastro”？A. For discount.B. For artworks.C. To sell various goods.D. To sell antiques and CDs.23. What is recommended when travelling in Madrid?A. Having dinner earlier.B. Performing flamenco.C. Visiting Royal Museum.D. Drinking in a tapas bar.BWe’re often reminded of the importance of preserving the planet as we see it for future generations—and children at St Oswald’s Primary School in Chester certainly agree.Nine-year-old Isobel Kelleher from the school’s Hummingbirds class thinks adults need to take note.“So metimes they can be busy and I don’t think they think they can make a difference, but if everyone does a little bit, it all adds up,” she tells HuffPost UK. “We started looking at plastic pollution in our oceans and the things like plastic bags and broken down pieces of plastic that are polluting them.” she says. “Fish can eat the plastic and they can die, or we might even eat the fish ourselves.”Mr. Timms, Isobel’s teacher, has been spearheading a new project at the school which lets children loose creatively to raise awareness of the need to be more environmentally friendly. The entireHummingbirds class, which is made up of 9and 10yearold pupils, has been busy writing poems and creating online video adverts to warn adults about the serious situation of our oceans and wildlife.Mr. Timms thinks children have an important role to play in teaching us how to take care of the things around us. “We sometimes overlook how much we can really learn from children.” he says. “It has been really hard to believe having parents come in saying that their children have been asking them to stop using plastic, and to recycle more, and even stopping them using plastic straws.”Mr. Timms is proud of his Hummingbirds class. “The message that they would like to send to the w orld is simple: Stopping this isn’t someone else’s job, and it won’t be OK if we just leave it.”24. What can we infer about adults according to Isobel Kelleher?A. They just pretend to be busy.B. They haven’t done their part well.C. They can do nothing to stop pollution.D. They have started to care about oceans.25. What is the purpose of the school project?A. To help adults to learn more about their kids.B. To remind adults to be friendly to the environment.C. To persuade students to stop using plastic bags.D. To teach students how to write poems creatively.26. Why does Mr. Timms mention “parents” in Paragraph 4?A. To prove kids are creative in teaching.B. To attract people to support his work.C. To have adults care about education.D. To show the effects of the project.27. What is the text mainly about?A. An inspiring school project.B. An appeal to stop plastic bags.C. Serious situations of our planet.D. Adults’ ignorance of environment.CIn the middle of the 19th century, a fever dream of riches beyond measure drew countless explorers west to the mountains of central California. Although the gold rush ended up being a bust for many who sought a fortune, some of those explorers discovered a natural treasure that would draw permanent settlers to Yosemite Valley in the following decade.Vast wilderness, beautiful mountains, countless waterfalls, and abundant wildlife drew Native Americans to Yosemite roughly 10,000 years ago. The first non-native tourists arrived in the mid-1850s after reports from gold seekers told of an area of breathtaking beauty that no words were able to describe.Fortunately, some of Yosemite’s earliest settlers recognized that Yosemite’s natural beauty and resources needed to be preserved for future generations. In the midst of the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln signed a grant to protect Yosemite permanently, thus making it the nation’s first land to be dedicated to recreation and setting the stage for what would become the national park system.One of Yosemite’s earliest ambassadors was ScottishAmerican naturalist and writer John Muir. After living in Yosemite for a few years, he helped define its proposed boundaries. He also wrote articles that helped lead to its official title as a national park in 1890. He later cofounded the Sierra Club in 1892 to advocate for its continued preservation and protection.Located on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in central California, Yosemite National Park runs across nearly 748,000 acres, almost 95% of which is wilderness. Around four million visitors come to Yosemite each year to camp, hike its miles of trails, climb its rock formations, and photograph its impressive sights. Are you ready to visit Yosemite National Park? Which of Yosemite’s sights would you most like to experience?28. Which of the following best explains “bust” underlined in Paragraph 1?A. Memory.B. Symbol.C. Failure.D. Challenge.29. When did the first nonnative tourists come to Yosemite?A. After it was discovered by gold seekers.B. When the gold rush finally came to a stop.C. Before Native Americans found its beauty.D. When it became a national park in 1890.30. What do we learn about John Muir?A. He was the first to build the national park.B. He helped set the boundaries of Yosemite.C. He wrote to collect money for Yosemite.D. He gave Yosemite an official name.31. What do we know about Yosemite National Park?A. It has been well preserved since the Civil War.B. It was originally created to protect wild animals.C. It used to be wellknown for its manmade beauty.D. It was once damaged by some of its earliest settlers.DIf you are taking vitamin supplements to reduce your risk of heart disease or cancer, a group of health experts want you to know that those vitamins may actually increase your risk of cancer.The US Preventive Services Task Force came to this conclusion after reviewing dozens of studies. Nearly half of adults in the US take at least one vitamin or mineral supplement on a regular basis. These pills are advertised as a way to promote general health. In some cases, manufacturers promote them as cancer fighters and heart protectors.Studies in animals and in laboratory dishes suggest that oxidative (氧化性的) stress contributes to diseases like cancer and heart disease. If so, there is a reason to believe that antioxidants—including beta-carotene, vitamins A, C, and E—could be useful as preventive medicines.But when the Task Force examined the medical evidence on vitamins, it found “inadequate” evidence to support the claims that vitamin and mineral supplements benefit healthy adults. “Cardiovascular (心血管的) disease and cancer have a significant health impact in America, and we all want to find ways to prevent these diseases,”Dr. Virginia Moyer, who heads the Task Force, said in a statement. But the medical evidence does not show that taking vitamins is helpful in this regard.However, the Task Force did find “adequate evidence” that people with a raised risk for lung cancer actually increase their risk further by taking betacarotene, a precursor(前体) of vitamin A.The Task Force recommendations of taking vitamins regularly apply to healthy adults aged 50 and older who don’t have “special nutritional needs”. The advice does not apply to children, women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, people with chronic illnesses, or people who have to take supplements because they can’t get all their essential nutrients from their diet.32. Studies in animals and in laboratory dishes find out ________.A. taking vitamins are helpful for treating lung cancerB. cardiovascular disease spreads very fast in AmericaC. oxidative stress can lead to heart disease and cancerD. people must take vitamins on a regular basis33. What can we conclude from the Task Force’s findings?A. Scientists want to control cardiovascular disease.B. In some regard, taking vitamins is not useful.C. Manufacturers cannot produce medical-use vitamins.D. Vitamins must be useful to prevent cancer and heart disease.34. Who can take vitamins regularly according to the advice of the Task Force?A. A 60yearold healthy worker.B. A 15yearold boy with short-sightedness.C. A 34yearold pregnant lady.D. A 40yearold man who never eats vegetables or fruits.35.What’s the best title for the text?A. An Inside Look at VitaminsB. The Task Force: Ending to VitaminsC. Vitamins: to Live or to KillD. Taking Vitamins to Prevent Cancer May Fail第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
