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.

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.

Paper is one of the most important products ever invented by man. Wide spread use of written language would not have been possible without some cheap and practical material to write on. The invention of paper meant that more people could be educated because more books could be printed and distributed. Together with the printing press, paper provided an extremely important way to communicate knowledge.
How much paper do you use every year Probably you cannot answer that question quickly. In 1900 the world's use of paper was about one kilogram for each person a year. Now some countries use as much as 50 kilograms of paper for each person a year. Countries like the United States, England and Sweden use more paper than other countries.
Paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400. The Egyptians wrote on a kind of material made of a water plant. Europeans used parchment for many hundreds of years. Parchment was very strong; it was made from the skin of certain young animals. We have learnt of the most important facts of European history from records that were kept on parchment.
4. What's the meaning for the word 'parchment' ________
A. The skin of young animals.
B. A kind of paper made from the skin of certain young animals.
C. The paper used by European countries.
D. The paper of Egypt.

Singapore’s tradition of eating out in places called hawker centers is now recognized by the United Nations for its cultural importance.
A hawker is a person who sells food or goods and advertises by shouting at people walking by on the street. Hawkers are an important part of Singaporean culture. Open-air eating areas where hawkers sell their goods are very popular. Famous chefs, such as Anthony Bourdain and Gordon Ramsay have praised them.
On Wednesday, the United Nations, cultural agency, UNESCO, added the city’s “hawker culture,” to its Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Singapore sought to have hawker culture added to the list about two years ago. Now that it has been recognized, Singapore must provide a report every six years to UNESCO. The report must show efforts the city-state has made to save and support its hawker culture.
“These centers serve as ‘community dining rooms’, where people from diverse backgrounds gather and share the experience of dining over breakfast, lunch and dinner,” UNESCO said.
In the 1970s, Singapore cleaned up its streets so the city moved street hawkers to new eating centers. These areas were part of an effort to improve the island. Now, the centers offer many different low-cost meals for local people and provide a pleasing social setting. The 2018 film Crazy Rich Asians showed its stars enjoying meals at a famous night market. Some sellers even received Michelin stars from a famous restaurant rating system for their meals costing only a few dollars.
But, now the average age of a hawker in Singapore is 60 years old. Younger Singaporeans now want to work in offices. They are less interested in working in small restaurants. The COVID-19 health crisis also hurt sales, preventing foreign visitors and locals from eating out.
8. What do we know about hawkers from paragraph 2
A. They sell goods in the open-air area.
B. They are famous chefs.
C. They are Singapore natives.
D. They are popular all over the world.
9. Why is hawker culture added to UNESCO’s list
A. For the efforts Singapore has made.
B. For its importance in showing Singapore’s culture.
C. For the report Singapore provided.
D. For the recommendation by UNESCO.
10. Why is the film Crazy Rich Asians mentioned
A. To advertise the film.
B. To introduce the stars.
C. To show the popularity of hawker centers.
D. To help the sellers receive Michelin stars.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. The difficulties hawker culture are facing.
B. The average age of hawkers.
C. The effect caused by COVID-19.
D. The future of the hawker culture.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了新加坡叫卖小贩文化以及其存在的意义，同时还提及其目前的困境。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Open-air eating areas where hawkers sell their goods are very popular.(开放的吃饭地，是叫卖小贩们卖东西的受欢迎地方)”可知，叫卖小贩们通常会选择开放的地带卖东西。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Singapore’s tradition of eating out in places called hawker centers is now recognized by the United Nations for its cultural importance. (新加坡人的这种在小贩聚集中心吃饭的传统，近日得到联合国的认可，因为它文化的重要性)”可知，联合国的文化机构把新加坡的这种传统加入它的列表，是因为承认其在文化方面的重要性。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Now, the centers offer many different low-cost meals for local people and provide a pleasing social setting. The 2018 film Crazy Rich Asians showed its stars enjoying meals at a famous night market.(现在，这些中心为当地人提供许多不同的廉价食物，并提供一个令人愉快的社交环境。在2018年的电影《摘金奇缘》中，明星们在一个著名的夜市享受美食)”可知，本段在讲这些小贩聚集中心的好处，作者提到电影《摘金奇缘》是为了证明小贩聚集中心的受欢迎程度。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“But, now the average age of a hawker in Singapore is 60 years old. Younger Singaporeans now want to work in offices. They are less interested in working in small restaurants. The COVID-19 health crisis also hurt sales, preventing foreign visitors and locals from eating out. (但是，现在新加坡小贩的平均年龄是60岁。年轻的新加坡人现在想在办公室工作。他们对在小餐馆工作不太感兴趣。COVID-19健康危机也影响了销售，阻止了外国游客和当地人外出就餐)”可知，本段主要讲述了目前小贩经济的困境。故选A。

“Don’t tell anyone”. We hear these words when someone tells a secret to us. But it can be hard to keep a secret. We often tend to “spill the beans”, even if we regret it later.
According to Asim Shah, professor in the Menninger Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Baylor College of Medicine, US, keeping a secret may well “become a burden”. This is because people often have an “obsessive and anxious urge to share it with someone”.
An earlier study, led by Anita E. Kelly, a scientist at the University of Notre Dame, US, suggested that keeping a secret could cause stress. People entrusted (受委托的) with secrets can suffer from depression, anxiety, and body aches, reported the Daily Mail.
But with secrets so often getting out, why do people share them at all Shah explained that people often feel that it will help them keep a person as a friend. Another reason people share secrets is guilt over keeping it from someone close to them. A sense of distrust can develop when people who are close do not share it with each other. “Keeping or sharing secrets often puts people in a position of either gaining or losing the trust of someone,” according to Shah.
He added that talkative people could let secrets slip out (泄露). But this doesn’t mean that it is a good idea only to share secrets with quiet people. A quiet person may be someone who keeps everything inside. To tell such a person a secret may cause them stress, and make them talk about the secret.
Shah said that to judge whether to tell someone a secret, you’d better put yourself in their position. Think about how you would feel to be told that you mustn’t give the information away. Shah also recommended that if you accidentally give up someone’s secret you should come clean about it. Let the person know that their secret isn’t so secret anymore.
12. What does underlined words “spill the beans” mean
A. Cut up beans. B. Burst into laughter.
C. Let out the secret. D. Keep the words.
13. What did researchers at the University of Notre Dame discover about secret-keeping
A. It can help promote friendships between people. B. It can result in mental and physical problems.
C. It can result in a sense of distrust between friends. D. It can harm relationships between friends.
14. What is the main message of Paragraph 5
A. It’s not a good idea to share your secrets with others.
B. It’s better to share your secrets with quiet people.
C. Quiet people suffer less stress from keeping secrets.
D. Talkative people are unlikely to keep secrets.
15. What does Shah suggest people do if they give away someone’s secret by accident
A. Buy the person a gift as an apology.
B. Stay away from the person.
C. Exchange a new secret with the person.
D. Tell the affected person what happened.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章讲述了美国贝勒医学院门宁格精神病学与行为科学系教授阿西姆 沙阿表示，保守秘密很可能“成为一种负担”。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“But it can be hard to keep a secret.(但要保守秘密是很难的)”和下文“even if we regret it later.(即使后来后悔)”可知，划线词所在句子意为：我们经常倾向于“泄漏秘密”。由此可知，“spill the beans”意为“泄露秘密”。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“An earlier study, led by Anita E. Kelly, a scientist at the University of Notre Dame, US, suggested that keeping a secret could cause stress. People entrusted (受委托的) with secrets can suffer from depression, anxiety, and body aches, reported the Daily Mail.(美国圣母大学科学家Anita E. Kelly领导的一项较早的研究表明，保守秘密会导致压力。据英国《每日邮报》报道，被托付秘密的人可能会感到沮丧、焦虑和身体疼痛)”可推知，研究人员发现它会导致精神和身体上的问题。故选B。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第五段“He added that talkative people could let secrets slip out (泄露). But this doesn’t mean that it is a good idea only to share secrets with quiet people.(他补充说，健谈的人可能会泄露秘密。但这并不意味着只和安静的人分享秘密是个好主意)”可知，文章第五段主要讲述了和别人分享你的秘密不是个好主意。故选A。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Shah also recommended that if you accidentally give up someone’s secret you should come clean about it. Let the person know that their secret isn’t so secret anymore.(Shah还建议，如果你不小心泄露了某人的秘密，你应该全盘招供。让这个人知道他们的秘密不再是秘密了)”可知，Shah建议人们，如果他们偶然泄露了别人的秘密，应该让受到影响的人得知这一情况。故选D。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了理塘藏族青年丁真，其在家门口对着镜头羞涩的微笑的视频被上传到抖音平台后，得到了广大网友的推崇。
【详解】1.考查非谓语动词。句意：丁真2000年生于四川省甘孜藏族自治州的理塘县。分析句子可知，设空处应用非谓语动词作定语，逻辑主语Ding Zhen与动词live为主谓关系，所以此处用现在分词。故填living。
2.考查介词。句意：纯属偶然。丁真，一个深色皮肤，大眼睛，甜美笑容，浓密头发的藏族年轻人，最近在中国社交媒体上走红。根据句意可知，此处指“一个有着深色皮肤、大眼睛，甜美笑容和浓密头发的藏族年轻人”。介词with，意为“有，具有，带有”，符合语境。故填with。
3.考查形容词。句意同上。分析可知，此处要用形容词修饰名词media。故填social。
4.考查时态。句意：因为他“清澈的眼睛和纯洁的微笑” ，成千上万的人成为了他的粉丝。根据前文“recently”，可知用现在完成时，句子主语millions of people，为复数，助动词用have。故填have become。
5.考查名词。句意：在一位摄影师将丁真的视频上传到抖音后，这是一个短视频平台 ，丁真在互联网上掀起了轩然大波。根据句中posted a video of him及设空前冠词a，可知此处指人，所以用名词作主语。故填photographer。
6.考查冠词。句意同上。此处指抖音是一个短视频平台，表示泛指，应用不定冠词，且short的发音是辅音音素开头，应用冠词a。故填a。
7.考查比较级。句意：许多网友说丁真眼睛里有“星星”，他的脸上总是带着比大多数同龄人更纯洁的笑容。根据句中的than可知，空白处要用比较级。故填purer。
8.考查非谓语动词。句意：在11月11日发布的视频中，20岁的理塘人丁真走在青藏高原的家门前，羞涩地对着镜头微笑。分析句子可知，此处应用非谓语动词作后置定语，逻辑主语video和release为动宾关系，所以release要用过去分词。故填released。
9.考查定语从句。句意：丁真成名后，成为理塘县的旅游大使，那里旅游业发展缓慢。分析句子可知，空白处及之后内容为非限制性定语从句。空白处在句子作地点状语，指代先行词Litang County，所以用关系副词。故填where。
10.考查副词。句意：11月25日，宣传片《丁真的世界》正式上映，吸引了全中国网民的注意。根据设空后的动词launched，可知此处要用副词来修饰动词。故填officially。

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
Paper is one of the most important products ever invented by man. Wide spread use of written language would not have been possible without some cheap and practical material to write on. The invention of paper meant that more people could be educated because more books could be printed and distributed. Together with the printing press, paper provided an extremely important way to communicate knowledge.
How much paper do you use every year Probably you cannot answer that question quickly. In 1900 the world's use of paper was about one kilogram for each person a year. Now some countries use as much as 50 kilograms of paper for each person a year. Countries like the United States, England and Sweden use more paper than other countries.
Paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400. The Egyptians wrote on a kind of material made of a water plant. Europeans used parchment for many hundreds of years. Parchment was very strong; it was made from the skin of certain young animals. We have learnt of the most important facts of European history from records that were kept on parchment.
4. What's the meaning for the word 'parchment' ________
A. The skin of young animals.
B. A kind of paper made from the skin of certain young animals.
C. The paper used by European countries.
D. The paper of Egypt.
5. Which of the following is not mentioned about the invention of paper ________
A. More jobs could be provided than before.
B. More people could be educated than before.

D. More ways could be used to exchange knowledge.
6. When did the Egyptians begin to use paper widely ________
A. Around 1400. B. Around 1900. C. Around 400. D. Around 900.
7. Which of the following countries uses more paper for each person a year ________

Singapore’s tradition of eating out in places called hawker centers is now recognized by the United Nations for its cultural importance.
A hawker is a person who sells food or goods and advertises by shouting at people walking by on the street. Hawkers are an important part of Singaporean culture. Open-air eating areas where hawkers sell their goods are very popular. Famous chefs, such as Anthony Bourdain and Gordon Ramsay have praised them.
On Wednesday, the United Nations, cultural agency, UNESCO, added the city’s “hawker culture,” to its Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Singapore sought to have hawker culture added to the list about two years ago. Now that it has been recognized, Singapore must provide a report every six years to UNESCO. The report must show efforts the city-state has made to save and support its hawker culture.
“These centers serve as ‘community dining rooms’, where people from diverse backgrounds gather and share the experience of dining over breakfast, lunch and dinner,” UNESCO said.
In the 1970s, Singapore cleaned up its streets so the city moved street hawkers to new eating centers. These areas were part of an effort to improve the island. Now, the centers offer many different low-cost meals for local people and provide a pleasing social setting. The 2018 film Crazy Rich Asians showed its stars enjoying meals at a famous night market. Some sellers even received Michelin stars from a famous restaurant rating system for their meals costing only a few dollars.
But, now the average age of a hawker in Singapore is 60 years old. Younger Singaporeans now want to work in offices. They are less interested in working in small restaurants. The COVID-19 health crisis also hurt sales, preventing foreign visitors and locals from eating out.
8. What do we know about hawkers from paragraph 2
A. They sell goods in the open-air area.
B. They are famous chefs.
C. They are Singapore natives.
D. They are popular all over the world.
9. Why is hawker culture added to UNESCO’s list
A. For the efforts Singapore has made.
B. For its importance in showing Singapore’s culture.
C. For the report Singapore provided.
D. For the recommendation by UNESCO.
10. Why is the film Crazy Rich Asians mentioned
A. To advertise the film.
B. To introduce the stars.
C. To show the popularity of hawker centers.
D. To help the sellers receive Michelin stars.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. The difficulties hawker culture are facing.
B The average age of hawkers.
C. The effect caused by COVID-19.
D. The future of the hawker culture.
D
“Don’t tell anyone”. We hear these words when someone tells a secret to us. But it can be hard to keep a secret. We often tend to “spill the beans”, even if we regret it later.
According to Asim Shah, professor in the Menninger Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Baylor College of Medicine, US, keeping a secret may well “become a burden”. This is because people often have an “obsessive and anxious urge to share it with someone”.
An earlier study, led by Anita E. Kelly, a scientist at the University of Notre Dame, US, suggested that keeping a secret could cause stress. People entrusted (受委托的) with secrets can suffer from depression, anxiety, and body aches, reported the Daily Mail.
But with secrets so often getting out, why do people share them at all Shah explained that people often feel that it will help them keep a person as a friend. Another reason people share secrets is guilt over keeping it from someone close to them. A sense of distrust can develop when people who are close do not share it with each other. “Keeping or sharing secrets often puts people in a position of either gaining or losing the trust of someone,” according to Shah.
He added that talkative people could let secrets slip out (泄露). But this doesn’t mean that it is a good idea only to share secrets with quiet people. A quiet person may be someone who keeps everything inside. To tell such a person a secret may cause them stress, and make them talk about the secret.
Shah said that to judge whether to tell someone a secret, you’d better put yourself in their position. Think about how you would feel to be told that you mustn’t give the information away. Shah also recommended that if you accidentally give up someone’s secret you should come clean about it. Let the person know that their secret isn’t so secret anymore.
12. What does underlined words “spill the beans” mean
A. Cut up beans. B. Burst into laughter.
C. Let out the secret. D. Keep the words.
13. What did researchers at the University of Notre Dame discover about secret-keeping
A. It can help promote friendships between people. B. It can result in mental and physical problems.
C It can result in a sense of distrust between friends. D. It can harm relationships between friends.
14. What is the main message of Paragraph 5
A. It’s not a good idea to share your secrets with others.
B. It’s better to share your secrets with quiet people.
C. Quiet people suffer less stress from keeping secrets.
D. Talkative people are unlikely to keep secrets.
15. What does Shah suggest people do if they give away someone’s secret by accident
A. Buy the person a gift as an apology.
B. Stay away from the person.
C. Exchange a new secret with the person.
