When I first started to learn Spanish at the age of 12, I knew I would want to live in Spain as an adult.Something drew me here, powerfully.I pursued a Spanish degree and spent my third year studying in Spain.
At first, the difference in working culture really struck me.People work very long a day — usually from 9：00 am to 7：00 pm.But they'll always take time for a decent lunch break or to enjoy a coffee at a café.There's none of that miserable business of stuffing a sandwich at your desk at 1：00 pm as in Britain.
I have also found it difficult to get used to the late nights.People are out at restaurants with their kids at 11：00 pm, and top-rating television programmes are on at 1：00 am.It is a sleepless nation, but they have got used to it from a young age.Most foreign people, of course, are in a daze (迷乱) for the first few months.I still drop_off at 11：00 pm, when the night's just getting started.
Spanish guys are much more confident than the British.They'll chat you up, they're outspoken and they go after what they want.They say the macho (大男子气的) culture has changed a lot.You can see this in the ads for family violence hotlines (热线) on Spanish television.Spain has a horrible record for it, but when I was here in 2009, it wasn't talked about.There's a sense that the nation is growing up when it comes to gender politics.
The Spanish can't make a decent cup of tea, and I miss my friends and family, but that's it.I enjoy my life here very much.
5．We know that in Spain ________.
A．people usually have a nice cup of tea at noon
B．people don't spend much time on their work
C．people usually have a sandwich for lunch at work
D．people usually take a good break from work at noon
解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第二段的“But they'll always take time for a decent lunch break or to enjoy a coffee at a café.”可知应选D。
6．What does the underlined part “drop off” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Fall asleep. B．Go out.
C．Stay up. D．Stand up.
解析：选A。词义猜测题。根据still的语境可知作者是说即使现在，他也在晚上十一点就“睡着”了。
7．It is implied in Paragraph 4 that ________.
A．women in Spain are not allowed to work
B．Spanish guys are not as macho as before
C．Spanish guys are not as confident as before
D．people in Spain don't care about family violence
解析：选B。推理判断题。根据第四段的“the macho culture has changed a lot ...but when I was here in 2009, it wasn't talked about及the nation is growing up”可知，现在西班牙男人的大男子主义已经不像以前那样严重了。
8．In which section of a newspaper would you most probably read this passage?
A．Education. B．Geography.
C．Lifestyle. D．Kids.
解析：选C。推理判断题。通读全文，可知作者主要是根据自己的亲身体验，来讲述西班牙人的生活方式，故选C。

Ⅳ.任务型阅读
Tuvalu, a tiny country in the Pacific Ocean, has asked for help as it fears it will be swallowed up by the sea.
Storms and huge waves are a constant threat and none of Tuvalu's nine little islands is more than five meters above sea level, Salt water is already entering the country's drinking water supply, as well as damaging plants that produce fruit and vegetable.__1__.
__2___.Venice, a historic city in Italy best known for its canals, has sunk about 24 cm over the past 100 years.Experts say that it will have sunk another 20－50cm by 2050.A century ago, St.Mark's Square, the lowest point in the city, flooded about nine times a year.Nowadays, it happens more than 100 times.While Venice is slowly sinking into the mud on which it stands, Tuvalu's rising sea level is caused by global warming.
The average global temperature has increased by almost 0.5 centigrade degrees over the past century; scientists expect it to rise by extra 1－3 degrees over the next 100 years.
Warmer weather makes glaciers melt, adding more water to the ocean.The warmer temperatures also make water expand, so it takes up more space, causing the sea level to rise.The sea level has risen about 10－25 cm in the last 100 years.
__3__.Through burning coal, oil and gas, people have been increasing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as CO2.This adds to the power of the greenhouse effect, making the planet even warmer.
Many scientists believe that, if the warming is not stopped, there will be huge climate changes.__4__.
__5__， the sea will swallow up millions of homes and the world will be flooded with “climate refugees” looking for somewhere to live.
A.The main cause of global warming is human pollution
B.Should this come true
C.Without urgent help, the country's days are numbered
