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.‎ History This 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 2,800 rooms are decorated in glory with museum-quality furniture and artworks. Tourists can tour 50 of these large and splendid rooms.‎ Art The 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.‎ Shopping Madrid‎ 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 the Rastro where they find everything from antiques to CDs.‎ Entertainment No 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.‎ Food Madrid‎ has a wide variety of restaurants, but because the Spanish typically eat late at about 9 or 10 p.m., 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 in Madrid?‎ 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 “the Rastro”？‎ A. For discount. B. For artworks.‎ C. To sell various goods. D. To sell antiques and CDs.‎ ‎23. What is a must when travelling in Madrid?‎ A. Having dinner earlier. B. Enjoying flamenco.‎ C. Visiting‎ Prado ‎Museum. D. Drinking in a tapas bar.‎ B ‎“Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton(骨骼) in the closet?” Jessica asked. “A skeleton in the closet?” her mother paused thoughtfully. “Well, it’s something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad’s family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be ‘a skeleton in his family’s closet’. He really wouldn’t want any neighbor to know about it.”‎ ‎“Why pick on my family?” Jessica’s father said with anger. “Your family history isn’t so good. you know. Wasn’t your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was sent to Australia for his crimes?” “Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners .” “Gosh, sorry I asked, I think I understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.‎ After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica’s parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica’s closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica’s mother sank into a faint(晕倒), waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead.She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.‎ ‎“ What happened？Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the school’s skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project, I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and ‎ Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “they’re both crazy,” she thought.‎ ‎24. According to Jessica’s mother, “a skeleton in the closet” means ______.‎ A. a family honor B. a family secret C. a family story D. a family treasure ‎25. What can we learn about some Australians’ ancestors from Paragraph 2?‎ A. They were involved in some crimes in Australia.‎ B. They were the earliest people living in ‎Australia C. They were brought to Australia as prisoners.‎ D. They were not regarded as criminals in their day.‎ ‎26. Jessica’s mother fell down into a faint because she was ________.‎ A. frightened B. surprised C. injured D. knocked ‎27. Jessica’sparents laughed madly at the end of the story probably because_________.‎ A. they were crazy ‎ B. they were overexcited C. they realized their misunderstanding D. they both thought they had won the quarrel C Finally, the long-awaited flying car is almost here.‎ AeroMobil, a Slovakian company, plans to start selling its creation, the AeroMobil 3.0, in 2018.‎ The company claims on its site that the vehicle “transforms in seconds from an automobile to an airplane” by using “existing infrastructure(基础设施) created for automobiles and planes.” The vehicle is gas-powered and has wings that fold, which allows it to be parked like a car, though it is nearly 20 feet long.‎ The company’s web site features a video where the AeroMobil 3.0 drives out of a hangar (飞机库) and goes down a highway, sharing the road with regular cars until it arrives at an airstrip. The car then unfolds its wings and takes off from a stretch of grass, rather than a paved tarmac (停机坪) , and flies through the air like any other small airplane.‎ AeroMobil spokesman Stefan Vadocz said his company hasn’t nailed down an exact price because it’s not ready yet.‎ ‎“The prototype is a work in progress,” he said in an email. But he said to expect the price to be several hundreds of thousands of euros, somewhere in between a sports car and a light sports aircraft. The vehicle seats two people — the pilot and a passenger — and its single propeller (螺旋桨) is located to the rear of the plane. The company said the car’s top speed on the road is at least ‎99 mph and while flying is at least ‎124 mph. It can fly for 435 miles before running out of gas. It has a steel framework and carbon coating and is powered by a Rotax 912, a four-cylinder aircraft engine from BRP of Austria.‎ Flying cars aren’t exactly new. The concept has been around since long before “The Jetsons” popularized the idea in the 1960s. It’s been a regular topic in Popular Science ever since the famous pilot Eddie Rickenbacker in World War I wrote about it in 1924. But getting a practical, reliable flying car off the ground has been a serious challenge. Glenn Curtiss, a strong competitor of the Wright Brothers, discovered this in 1918 when he developed the Curtiss Autoplane. It turned out to be more of a hopper than a flyer, so it failed to take off with the public.‎ The AeroMobil 3.0 has at least one competitor, the Terrafugia Transition, which also runs on gas and has folding wings. Terrafugia has said in the past that it plans to release the Transition into the market this year.‎ ‎28. The AeroMobil 3.0 has the following features EXCEPT that .‎ A. it can transform between a car and an airplane quickly B. it is as convenient to park as a regular car C. it can share the same road with regular cars D. it has to be powered by special fuel ‎29. The underlined word “prototype” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to _________.‎ A. perfect version B. fashionable design C. original model D. committed engineer ‎30. We can learn from the passage that __________.‎ A. Glenn Curtiss was a pioneer in making a flying car B. since 1924 the flying car has become the most popular topic worldwide C. the Transition will definitely defeat the AeroMobil 3.0 on the market D. the AeroMobil 3.0 is expected to be as cheap as a regular car ‎31. The passage is mainly about _________.‎ A. the working principles of a flying cars B. the advantages of the AeroMobil 3.0 over regular car C. the comparison between different products D. the introduction to a new invention D Culture can affect not just language and customs, but also how people experience the world on surprisingly basic levels.‎ Researchers, with the help of brain scans, have 1 shocking differences in perception (感知)between Westerners and Asians, what they see when they look at a city street, for example, or even how they perceive(感知) a simple line in a square, according to findings published in a leading science journal.‎ In Western countries, culture makes people think of themselves as highly independent individuals. When looking at scenes, Westerners tend to focus more on central objects than on their surroundings. East Asian cultures, however, emphasize inter-dependence, When Easterners look at a scene, they tend to focus on the surroundings as well as the object.‎ Using an experiment involving two tasks, Dr. Hedden asked subjects to look at a line simply to estimate its length, a task that played to American’s strengths. In another, they estimated the line’s length relative to the size of a square, an easier task for the Asians.‎ The level of brain activity, by tracking blood flow, was then measured by Brain Scanners. The experiment found that although there was no difference in performance, the levels of activity in the subjects’ brain were different. For the Americans, areas linked to attention were more, when they worked on the task they tended to find more difficult. For the Asians, the attention areas lit up more during the harder task. The findings are a reflection of more than ten years of previous experimental research into East-West differences.‎ In one study, for instance researchers offered people a choice among five pens; four red and one green. Easterners were more likely to choose a red pen while Westerners were more likely to choose the green one.‎ Culture is not affecting how you see the world, but how you choose to understand and internalize(使内化) it.‎ But such habits can be changed. Some psychological studies suggest that when an Easterner goes to the West or vice versa, habits of thought and perception also begin to change. Such ‎ research gives us clues to how our brain works and is hopeful for us to develop programs to improve our memory, memory techniques and enhance and accelerate our learning skills.‎ ‎32. According to the passage, Chinese people are most likely to __________.‎ A. focus on the context as well as the object B. always focus more on their surroundings C. more emphasize independent thinking D. think of Westerners as highly independent units ‎33. We know from the passage that people’s brains will be more active when ________.‎ A. the task is more difficult B. the blood flow is tracked C. people begin to choose colors D. the task is much easier ‎34. What does Dr Hedden’s experiment in Paragraph 4-5 indicate?‎ A. People’s perception of the world can be changed B. Easterners and Westerners perceive the world differently C. Culture has a great impact on the way people talk and behave D. Americans are better at calculating than the Asians.‎ ‎35. It can be inferred from the passage that ___________.‎ A. Americans will change their habits of perception when they’re in ‎Britain B. East Asian cultures lay more emphasis on independence C. it took over ten years to find out how to improve our brainpower D. Easterners prefer collectivism to individualism 第二节：（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Chopsticks ‎1.

Look, this model is newly developed and began to appear in the market just several weeks ago in America. It costs 43,800 dollars. But considering the high quality, it’s worth it.‎ M: That’s why I shall choose it. But I’m afraid that I can’t afford to pay in cash now. Can I pay regularly for the car in a year? (7)‎ W: Oh, yes. You can pay each month. For the first time, 13,800 dollars, and you must pay the remaining part in 12 months. (7)‎ M: Thank you.

(13)‎ W: Well, it’s similar to a relaxation ball in its function, (13) but it’s useful for anyone who has problems focusing. (14)‎ M: So, how does it work?‎ W: It’s about the size of a cookie, and it has three small round parts that can move in any direction. Basically, you just hold it in between your thumb and middle finger and spin it. That’s it.‎ M: That’s it?‎ W: Yeah. It’s very popular not only with children, but with adults as well. (14) ‎ M: A professor at MIT by the name of Jill Meanley has publicly stated there is no scientific or medical evidence for your claims about its benefits. Many schools also have banned the toy, saying it leads to a lack of focus in the classroom. (15)‎ W: Well, that professor is allowed to have her opinion.‎ M: Fair enough. And who invented it?‎ W: Catherine Hettinger, a chemical engineer, was first believed to be its creator, but then we found that an IT professional named Scott McCoskery was the actual inventor. (16)‎ M: It’s time for a commercial break. More with Margaret Seabrook in a moment.‎ Text 10‎ Welcome, everyone, to your first day on the job.

With regard to the question you mentioned , I am firmly convinced that you can choose to come to China after finishing your studies in Accounting.‎ For one reason, China’s development over the past 30 years offers quantities of job opportunities for the young. What’s more, what you are studying is badly needed in China nowadays. In fact, many big companies in our city are hoping to hire people like you.‎ For another reason, China is a country with so different cultures and traditions from the west that many foreigners enjoy living and working here. Why not come and join them? I’m sure you will adapt to the environment quickly. If you come here, I will do what I can to help you. So what are you waiting for?‎ I’m looking forward to your coming.‎ Best wishes!‎ Yours,‎ Li Hua
