阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
Look 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.
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.
1. 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.
2. What kind of market is “the Rastro”?
A. For discount.
B. For artworks.
C. To sell various goods.
D. To sell antiques and CDs.
3 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
Why do you go to the library For books, yes—but you like books because they tell stories. You hope to get lost in a story or be transported into someone else’s life. At one type of library you can do just that—even though there’s not a single book.
At a Human Library, instead of books, you can “borrow” people. People with unique life stories volunteer to be the “books.” For a certain amount of time, you can ask them questions and listen to their stories, which are as fascinating as any you can find in a book. (If you attend, be sure to review the habits that make you a good listener.) Many of the stories have to do with some kind of depressing topic. You can speak with a refugee, a soldier suffering from PTSD(创伤后遗症), a homeless person and a woman living with HIV. The Human Library encourages people
to take time to truly get to know and learn from someone they might otherwise make a snap judgement about. According to its website, the Human Library is “a place where difficult questions are expected, appreciated and answered.”
The Human Library Organization came to be in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2000.Romni Abergel and his colleagues hosted a four—day event during a major Northern European festival. After the success of this event, Abergel founded the Human Library Organization, hoping to raise awareness among youth about depression, which has been growing ever since.
Though there are a few permanent human libraries, most aren’t places at all, but events. Though many do take place at physical libraries, you don’t need a library card—anyone can come and be part of the experience. There have been human library events all over the globe, in universities and in pubs, from Chicago to Tunis to Edinburgh to San Antonio. Check out the organization’s Facebook page to see when the Human Library might be arriving near you.
4. What shall we do before going to the Human Library
A. Bring a book. B. Get a library card.
C. Make an appointment. D. Go over some listening habits.
5. What does the underlined word “snap” in paragraph 2 mean
A True B. Quick.
C. Wrong. D. Obvious.
6. Why did Ronmi Abergel found the Human Library Organization
A. He expected to answer different questions.
B. He successfully held an event in Northern Europe.
C. He wanted young people to pay attention to depression.
D. He had set up the Human Libraries all over the world.
7. What is the best title of the text
A. “Borrow” People Instead of Books B. Human Library Organization
C. Human Library Is Near You D. A Library in Denmark
C
As the coronavirus (冠状病毒) outbreak continues, many Americans are fearful of using public transportation. They are also looking for ways to get exercise without going to a gym. So, it may not be surprising that the pandemic (疫情) has led to a major increase in bicycle sales.
In the US, bicycles at big stores have sold out. And small bicycle stores cannot keep up with demand for “family-style” bicycles: the low-cost, easy-to-ride models. “The bicycle industry is seeing its biggest sales increase since the oil crisis of the 1970s,” said Jay Townley, an industry expert. He compared the sale of bicycles to the rush to buy products like toilet paper at the start of the pandemic.
The rise in bicycle sales is not happening just in the US. Italy has created bicycle paths for the growing number of people who want to avoid public transportation. In London, city officials plan to ban cars from some central roads. Bike shop owners in Manila say demand is even stronger than what they see at Christmas time.
Of course, you can only buy a bicycle if you can find one. In the US, the shortages now mean it may take many months to get a bicycle. High demand is not the only reason for the shortage. Many bicycle factories were shut down to stop the spread of COVID-19. The increase in bicycle demand began in March as countries began to close down. In April, the sale of bicycles increased 200 percent in the US.
Joe Minutolo is the co-owner of Bar Harbor Bicycle Shop in Maine. He said he hoped the increased sales meant a change in the way people think about transportation. “People are having a chance to rethink things,” he said, “Maybe we’ll all learn something out of this, and something really good will happen.”
8. What causes the increase in bicycle sales
A. Shortage of public transportation.
B. Outbreak of the coronavirus.
C. People’s desire to defeat disease.
D. People’s fear of natural disasters.
9. What change has the pandemic caused in Italy
A. More bikes are sold than at Christmas time.
B. “Family-style” bicycles are in great need.
C. Cars are banned from some central roads.
D. New bicycle paths have been built.
10. What can we know from Paragraph 4
A. It’s impossible to buy a bike.
B. Bike factories were closed in April.
C. High demand for bikes began in March.
D. It takes many months to produce a bike.
11. What is Joe Minutolo’s attitude towards the increased sales of bicycles
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Uncertain. D. Critical.
D
After spending years competing as a marathon mountain runner and cross-country skier, Gudrun Pflueger devoted herself to tracking wolves as a field biologist in Canada’s backcountry.
And her research and encounters with the Canadian coastal wolves led to the 2010 Smithsonian Channel documentary (纪录片) A Woman Among Wolves.
Less than a month after filming along British Columbia's islands, Pflueger, then 33, was diagnosed with a brain tumor (瘤) and told she might have only 18 months to live.
Surgeons removed a golf ball-size tumor, and Pflueger, now promoting her Smithsonian Channel follow-up, Running With Wolves, credits wolves with helping inspire her recovery.
“I really believe the encounter with the wolves in the wilderness was a powerful medicine. They gave me strength,” says Pflueger, now 37, whose life-threatening encounter with a coastal wolf pack was highlighted in the earlier film.
“Most people see them as bad, as killing machines. But they are part of nature. They have some of the same characteristics as we do—determination, courage, a strong will to live.
Running With Wolves was filmed over parts of 2011-2012, while Pflueger was regaining her physical strength. It tracks her inspirational but hard return to Canada's coast.
“It’s rare for filmmakers to go back but people can relate to this story on all sorts of levels,” says Smithsonian Channel’s chief programmer, David Royle. “Gudrun was a world-class athlete who is fun and energetic. She’s enthusiastic about a species that's been misrepresented. And you come away feeling inspired by her courage and bravery recovering from cancer.”
“We want to draw attention to women scientists. They’re underrepresented at the top level,” he says. “We also wanted to challenge stereotypes (成见) that women scientists are unimportant.”
12. In A Woman Among Wolves Pflueger is shown as a person who ______.
A. fights against dangerous wolves in the wild
B. recovers from cancer by living among wolves
C. is a marathon runner and cross-country skier
D. studies the behavior of wolves in the wild
13. What was Pflueger’s main purpose in returning to Canada’s coast
A. To help to film the documentary.
B. To compete as a marathon runner.
C. To protect the wolves from being hunted.
D. To beat cancer by finding inspiration among wolves.
14. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 8 indicates that the filmmakers ______.
A. seldom go back when making a film
B. had great trouble filming the documentary
C. filmed another documentary about Pflueger
D. have no plan to film another documentary
15. What does David Royle really mean by what he says in the last paragraph
A. Pflueger is brave. B. Pflueger is energetic.
C. Pflueger is outstanding. D. Pflueger is enthusiastic.

47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Up until last week, I would say that absolutely, positively, undoubtedly you should stay away from an unfriendly person. But now I’m not so sure.
I was going to a sports-and-nature day camp, and almost everything about it was fantastic: the activities, the food, the teachers, and almost all of the kids. The reason I say “almost” is because there was this one girl, Elizabeth, who was always frustrated and seemed determined to ruin a fantastic time.
When I saw her sitting alone in the burning sun at lunch one day, I said, “Want to join us under that nice shady tree over there ”
Elizabeth said, “No, I really don’t.”
When we needed another person for our volleyball team and a boy called Jasper invited Elizabeth to play with us, Elizabeth said, “I’m pretty sure that if I wanted to play volleyball, I’d already be playing volleyball.”
After a few more unfriendly comments like that, I decided to keep away from Elizabeth. I mean, if she wanted to have a terrible time, that was one thing. But there were only a few more days of camp left, and I wanted to make the best of them.
Well, you know how just when you decide to do things one way, life decides to do things the opposite way. It so happened that we were going on a nature hike and our teacher paired everyone up with a partner. Guess who my partner turned out to be!
“I can’t believe how warm it is,” I said, trying to make small talk as we started out. “Do you like hot days like this ”
“I honestly don’t care about things like the weather,” Elizabeth whispered.
I smiled nervously, trying to xkw think of a new topic. “What do you like to do for fun ”
“I like to walk in peace and quiet,” Elizabeth replied.
“OK,” I said, taking the hint.
And that was that. We had the quietest, most peaceful hike in the history of the universe. Until —

Why do you go to the library For books, yes—but you like books because they tell stories. You hope to get lost in a story or be transported into someone else’s life. At one type of library you can do just that—even though there’s not a single book.
At a Human Library, instead of books, you can “borrow” people. People with unique life stories volunteer to be the “books.” For a certain amount of time, you can ask them questions and listen to their stories, which are as fascinating as any you can find in a book. (If you attend, be sure to review the habits that make you a good listener.) Many of the stories have to do with some kind of depressing topic. You can speak with a refugee, a soldier suffering from PTSD(创伤后遗症), a homeless person and a woman living with HIV. The Human Library encourages people
to take time to truly get to know and learn from someone they might otherwise make a snap judgement about. According to its website the Human Library is “a place where difficult questions are expected, appreciated and answered.”
The Human Library Organization came to be in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2000.Romni Abergel and his colleagues hosted a four—day event during a major Northern European festival. After the success of this event, Abergel founded the Human Library Organization, hoping to raise awareness among youth about depression, which has been growing ever since.
Though there are a few permanent human libraries, most aren’t places at all, but events. Though many do take place at physical libraries, you don’t need a library card—anyone can come and be part of the experience. There have been human library events all over the globe, in universities and in pubs, from Chicago to Tunis to Edinburgh to San Antonio. Check out the organization’s Facebook page to see when the Human Library might be arriving near you.

As the coronavirus (冠状病毒) outbreak continues, many Americans are fearful of using public transportation. They are also looking for ways to get exercise without going to a gym. So, it may not be surprising that the pandemic (疫情) has led to a major increase in bicycle sales.
In the US, bicycles at big stores have sold out. And small bicycle stores cannot keep up with demand for “family-style” bicycles: the low-cost, easy-to-ride models. “The bicycle industry is seeing its biggest sales increase since the oil crisis of the 1970s,” said Jay Townley, an industry expert. He compared the sale of bicycles to the rush to buy products like toilet paper at the start of the pandemic.
The rise in bicycle sales is not happening just in the US. Italy has created bicycle paths for the growing number of people who want to avoid public transportation. In London, city officials plan to ban cars from some central roads. Bike shop owners in Manila say demand is even stronger than what they see at Christmas time.
Of course, you can only buy a bicycle if you can find one. In the US, the shortages now mean it may take many months to get a bicycle. High demand is not the only reason for the shortage. Many bicycle factories were shut down to stop the spread of COVID-19. The increase in bicycle demand began in March as countries began to close down. In April, the sale of bicycles increased 200 percent in the US.
Joe Minutolo is the co-owner of Bar Harbor Bicycle Shop in Maine. He said he hoped the increased sales meant a change in the way people think about transportation. “People are having a chance to rethink things,” he said, “Maybe we’ll all learn something out of this, and something really good will happen.”
8. What causes the increase in bicycle sales
A. Shortage of public transportation.
B. Outbreak of the coronavirus.
C. People’s desire to defeat disease.
D. People’s fear of natural disasters.
9. What change has the pandemic caused in Italy
A. More bikes are sold than at Christmas time.
B. “Family-style” bicycles are in great need.
C. Cars are banned from some central roads.
D. New bicycle paths have been built.
10. What can we know from Paragraph 4
A. It’s impossible to buy a bike.
B. Bike factories were closed in April.
C. High demand for bikes began in March.
D. It takes many months to produce a bike.
11. What is Joe Minutolo’s attitude towards the increased sales of bicycles
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Uncertain. D. Critical.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】

细节理解题。根据第三段的“ Italy has created bicycle paths for the growing number of people who want to avoid public transportation. ”可知,意大利为越来越多希望避免使用公共交通工具的人们建造了自行车道。即疫情大流行使意大利政府为民众新建了自行车道。故选D。

细节理解题。根据第四段的“The increase in bicycle demand began in March as countries began to close down. ”可知,随着国家开始实施封闭措施,民众对于自行车需求的增长开始于三月份。即民众对自行车的大量需求始于三月份。故选C。
11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“He said he hoped the increased sales meant a change in the way people think about transportation. “People are having a chance to rethink things,” he said, “Maybe we’ll all learn something out of this, and something really good will happen.””可知,Joe Minutolo说,他希望自行车销量的增加意味着人们对出行方式的看法发生了变化。他说:“人们有机会重新思考一些事情,也许我们都会从中学到一些东西,并且某些真正好的事情将会发生。由此可知,Joe Minutolo对自行车销量增加持肯定的态度。故选B。
D
After spending years competing as a marathon mountain runner and cross-country skier, Gudrun Pflueger devoted herself to tracking wolves as a field biologist in Canada’s backcountry.
And her research and encounters with the Canadian coastal wolves led to the 2010 Smithsonian Channel documentary (纪录片) A Woman Among Wolves.
Less than a month after filming along British Columbia's islands Pflueger, then 33, was diagnosed with a brain tumor (瘤) and told she might have only 18 months to live.
Surgeons removed a golf ball-size tumor, and Pflueger, now promoting her Smithsonian Channel follow-up, Running With Wolves, credits wolves with helping inspire her recovery.
“I really believe the encounter with the wolves in the wilderness was a powerful medicine. They gave me strength,” says Pflueger, now 37, whose life-threatening encounter with a coastal wolf pack was highlighted in the earlier film.
“Most people see them as bad as killing machines. But they are part of nature. They have some of the same characteristics as we do—determination, courage, a strong will to live.
Running With Wolves was filmed over parts of 2011-2012, while Pflueger was regaining her physical strength. It tracks her inspirational but hard return to Canada's coast.
“It’s rare for filmmakers to go back, but people can relate to this story on all sorts of levels,” says Smithsonian Channel’s chief programmer, David Royle. “Gudrun was a world-class athlete who is fun and energetic. She’s enthusiastic about a species that's been misrepresented. And you come away feeling inspired by her courage and bravery recovering from cancer.”
“We want to draw attention to women scientists. They’re underrepresented at the top level,” he says. “We also wanted to challenge stereotypes (成见) that women scientists are unimportant.”
12. In A Woman Among Wolves, Pflueger is shown as a person who ______.
A. fights against dangerous wolves in the wild
B. recovers from cancer by living among wolves
C. is a marathon runner and cross-country skier
D. studies the behavior of wolves in the wild
13. What was Pflueger’s main purpose in returning to Canada’s coast
A. To help to film the documentary.
B. To compete as a marathon runner.
C. To protect the wolves from being hunted.
D. To beat cancer by finding inspiration among wolves.
14. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 8 indicates that the filmmakers ______.
A. seldom go back when making a film
B. had great trouble filming the documentary
C. filmed another documentary about Pflueger
D. have no plan to film another documentary
15. What does David Royle really mean by what he says in the last paragraph
A. Pflueger is brave. B. Pflueger is energetic.
C. Pflueger is outstanding. D. Pflueger is enthusiastic.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了野外生物学家Gudrun Pflueger致力于在加拿大的偏远地区追踪狼,后来身患癌症,又投身于野生狼的研究并认为是狼帮助她恢复了健康,并介绍了Smithsonian Channel的电影制片人为她拍摄的两部电影纪录片。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“…Gudrun Pflueger devoted herself to tracking wolves as a field biologist in Canada’s backcountry. (……Gudrun Pflueger作为一名野外生物学家,致力于在加拿大的偏远地区追踪狼。)”以及第二段“And her research and encounters with the Canadian coastal wolves led to the 2010 Smithsonian Channel documentary (纪录片) A Woman Among Wolves. (她的研究和与加拿大海岸狼的接触促成了2010年Smithsonian Channel的纪录片《狼中的女人》。)”可知,在《狼中的女人》中,Pflueger被描绘成一个研究野生狼的行为的人。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Surgeons removed a golf ball-size tumor, and Pflueger, now promoting her Smithsonian Channel follow-up, Running With Wolves, credits wolves with helping inspire her recovery. (外科医生切除了一个高尔夫球大小的肿瘤,正在宣传她的Smithsonian Channel频道后续节目《与狼同行》的Pflueger认为是狼帮助她恢复了健康。)”以及第五段中Pflueger所说的话“I really believe the encounter with the wolves in the wilderness was a powerful medicine. They gave me strength.(我真的相信在荒野中与狼群的相遇是一剂良药。他们给了我力量。)”可知,Pflueger回到加拿大海岸的主要目的是通过在狼群中寻找灵感来战胜癌症。故选D项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“And her research and encounters with the Canadian coastal wolves led to the 2010 Smithsonian Channel documentary (纪录片) A Woman Among Wolves. (她的研究和与加拿大海岸狼的接触促成了2010年Smithsonian Channel的纪录片《狼中的女人》。)”以及第四段“Surgeons removed a golf ball-size tumor, and Pflueger, now promoting her Smithsonian Channel follow-up, Running With Wolves, credits wolves with helping inspire her recovery. (外科医生切除了一个高尔夫球大小的肿瘤,正在宣传她的Smithsonian Channel频道后续节目《与狼同行》的Pflueger认为是狼帮助她恢复了健康。)”可知,Smithsonian Channel的电影制片人已经拍摄了有关Pflueger的记录片A Woman Among Wolves,此次又拍摄了同一题材的记录片Running With Wolves,这类情况很少见,其目的是让人们多层面地了解有关Pflueger与狼打交道的经历。从而推知划线词句“It’s rare for filmmakers to go back”表示电影制作人很少重复拍摄同一内容的影片,但是却拍摄了另一部关于Pflueger的纪录片。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“We want to draw attention to women scientists. They’re underrepresented at the top level, (我们希望引起人们对女科学家的关注。她们在高层的代表不足)”以及 “We also wanted to challenge stereotypes that women scientists are unimportant. (我们也要挑战女科学家都不重要的成见。)”可知,David Royle认为Pflueger是杰出的。故选C项。

【19题详解】
根据前文段首中心句“Find what will be your right time to do more activities.(找到你做更多活动的恰当时间)”和“Some students prefer morning time and some prefer evening time.(一些学生喜欢早晨时间,一些喜欢晚上的时间)”可知,D项“Determine your preferable time and get to use most at that particular time.(确定您的最佳时间,并在该特定时间充分利用。)”符合题意。故选D项。

47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Up until last week, I would say that absolutely, positively, undoubtedly you should stay away from an unfriendly person. But now I’m not so sure.
I was going to a sports-and-nature day camp, and almost everything about it was fantastic: the activities, the food, the teachers, and almost all of the kids. The reason I say “almost” is because there was this one girl, Elizabeth, who was always frustrated and seemed determined to ruin a fantastic time.
When I saw her sitting alone in the burning sun at lunch one day, I said, “Want to join us under that nice shady tree over there ”
Elizabeth said, “No, I really don’t.”
When we needed another person for our volleyball team and a boy called Jasper invited Elizabeth to play with us, Elizabeth said, “I’m pretty sure that if I wanted to play volleyball, I’d already be playing volleyball.”
After a few more unfriendly comments like that, I decided to keep away from Elizabeth. I mean, if she wanted to have a terrible time, that was one thing. But there were only a few more days of camp left, and I wanted to make the best of them.
Well, you know how just when you decide to do things one way, life decides to do things the opposite way. It so happened that we were going on a nature hike and our teacher paired everyone up with a partner. Guess who my partner turned out to be!
“I can’t believe how warm it is,” I said, trying to make small talk as we started out. “Do you like hot days like this ”
“I honestly don’t care about things like the weather,” Elizabeth whispered.
I smiled nervously, trying to xkw think of a new topic. “What do you like to do for fun ”
“I like to walk in peace and quiet,” Elizabeth replied.
“OK” I said, taking the hint.
And that was that. We had the quietest, most peaceful hike in the history of the universe. Until —

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】“Hey!” I said. “Why is that bird in the middle of the path ” As we got closer, the bird tried to flee into the grass, but in vain. “Poor little creature,” Elizabeth murmured, her voice sounding gentler than I’d ever heard, “He must have had his wing or foot injured, just as my grandpa. ” “Your grandpa What happened to him ” I asked concernedly. “He slipped and broke his arm the day the camp started. He's still in hospital and suffering great pains. ” “No wonder you are so frustrated,” I thought to myself, observing the bird's another attempt.
The bird spread his wings and finally took off. Seeing the scene, Elizabeth signed in relief, “He made it!” “And I believe your grandpa will be back on his feet soon, too.” I said with a firm tone. She nodded, smiling at me for the first time. From then on, Elizabeth began to join me in my various topics. And most of time, she actually enjoyed most of our activities of the camp as my partner. Only then did I realize that it might be worth giving someone a second chance. She may be going through a terrible time and just doesn’t know how to deal with it.
