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 modem 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 malls, 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 can 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 can hold 2,800 people. B.It has 50 rooms for visit.
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 antiques and CDs. D.To sell various goods.
3.What is a must when traveling in Madrid
A.Having dinner earlier.
B.Visiting the Prado Museum.
C.Enjoying flamenco.
D.Drinking in a tapas bar
B
Cities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness (荒野). But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.
Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warning. An avalanche (雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.
But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go—to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City—its present population is 762.
1.What attracted the early settlers to New York City
A.Its business culture. B.Its small population.
C.Its geographical position. D.Its favourable climate.
2.What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson
A.Two-thirds of them stayed there. B.One out of five people got rich.
C.Almost everyone gave up. D.Half of them died.
3.What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson
A.They found the city too crowded. B.They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.
C.They were unable to stand the winter. D.They were short of food.
4.What is the text mainly about
A.The rise and fall of a city. B.The gold rush in Canada.
C.Journeys into the wilderness. D.Tourism in Dawson.

Mount Qomolangma National Nature Reserve was set up in 1988. Covering an area of more than 33,819 square kilometers, it is home to one of the world's weakest ecosystems.
Kelsang, the deputy director of the Reserve Administration, said ordinary tourists were allowed to visit areas around Rongpo Monastery, almost 5,000 meters above sea level. As for travelers who have a climbing permit, they can go to the base camp at an altitude of 5,200 meters. The mountaineering activities have been permitted by the regional forestry department.
To conserve the environment surrounding Mount Qomolangma, China carried out three major clean-ups at an altitude of 5,200 meters and above last spring, collecting eight tons of household wastes, human wastes and mountaineering trash. This year, the clean-up will continue, and the remains of mountaineering victims above 8,000 meters will be centrally dealt with for the first time. Meanwhile, the number of people who stay at the base camp will be kept under 300.
Recently, there are 85 wildlife protectors in the reserve, and 1,000 herders have part-time jobs going around and cleaning up garbage.
"These measures aim to strike a balance between various demands such as environmental protection, local poverty relief, mountaineering and education," said Wang Shen, county chief of Dingri at the mountain foot.
1.Which of the following can replace the underlined words "went viral" in Paragraph 2
A.Spread wild. B.Blocked out. C.Gave away. D.Shot up.
2.What can we learn according to Kelsang's words about the national nature reserve
A.Most tourists are allowed to visit the base camp.
B.The climbing permit is a must for visitors going to the base camp.
C.The mountaineering activities are not allowed these days.
D.The areas above 5,200 meters are open to everyone.
3.Why did the government carry out clean-ups at an altitude of 5,200 meters and above
A.To provide a much easier path for mountaineers.
B.To keep mountaineering activities going smoothly.
C.To remove the remains of mountaineering victims.
D.To protect the environment of Mount Qomolangma.
4.How many people are involved in the cleaning up activities at present
A.300. B.1,000. C.85. D.1,085.
D
Traveling is a very good activity. When you are fed up with your work and are allowed to take a holiday, you can go to the beautiful spots to enjoy the beauty of nature and the special character of other cities. You can breathe fresh air, visit some places of interest, meet different people and make friends with them. Then you will forget your tiredness and troubles and be more healthy. As a result, you will feel fully relaxed and you will have the energy to undertake the new tasks waiting for you.
But sometimes, traveling is not an enjoyable thing. For example, when the bus or car you take has a bad accident, you may be trapped in it and waste your time. What's more, the weather can be changeable. If you are climbing a mountain, it may rain suddenly. You may be caught in the rain and may catch a cold. The worst thing is that you may have your money stolen or that you may have an injury. All these are terrible things that can happen to a tourist.
Therefore, before going on a trip, you must prepare yourself carefully. Firstly, you must have clear information about the weather. Secondly, you should choose a good companion so that you can help each other. Thirdly, you must be careful everywhere and try to avoid accidents. If you do these, you can enjoy your travels better and reduce unnecessary troubles.
1.In the passage, the author suggests that you should ________ for a holiday.
A.enjoy nature B.go to different cities C.go nowhere D.both A and B
2.In the first paragraph, the underlined phrase "are fed up with" means _______.

If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping, I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me. ①___________
The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer. ②___________ We slept in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom.

I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness. ③___________ Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life.
④___________ We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains.
⑤___________ It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
I first played ping-pong in our basement (地下室)at home. My brother and I asked for an old wooden table from my grandfather. It was painted green. Although it was very simple, it served its purpose every day. My father never really played any other sports with me, but ping-pong was one that he played quite well and it took me plenty of time before I could beat him. My elder brother was also a very good competitor.
When I got to university, I was happy to discover a ping-pong table in the common room. I spent a great deal of time there, often until the midnight. There were about three or four friends that I often played against. We were all at the same skill level. One of them had ever played in a tournament (锦标赛). A friend from Germany said his father had ever won the German National Tournament. We took part in a tournament. My ranking (名次) was the third place, but I had beaten the first and second place winners when we had played for fun. I sometimes played with other friends who didn't play ping-pong well, so I would use my left hand to give them an advantage. But before long I became so skilled with my left hand that they no longer had the advantage.
Later, I played in a ping-pong competition which was held by my university. I lost at first. But because it was double elimination(双淘汰制), I went to the loser group. I beat all the players and then played against the student who had beaten me in the first round. Surprisingly, I beat him 3 times and won the competition.

答案:①-⑤DCAFE
解析:①过渡句。上文指出,三年前,我不相信自己会用大部分周末去野营,参加野营的人会经历种种困难,我和他们不是一类人。下文讲到了自己迷恋上野营的过程,故此处有引起下文的作用。D项符合语境,与前面的内容有转折关系。句意:但是,从那时起我注定会学到很多关于野营的东西。
②过渡句。空后主要介绍了首次野营中遇到的困难与艰苦,故C项符合本段内容。rough(令人不快的;艰难的)是关键词。
③细节句。由空后的内容及前面的another可知,A项可将前后句有效衔接起来。
④过渡句。本句位于段首,起到了承上启下的作用。上段提到了第二次较为舒适的野营,下文指出自此之后进行了多次野营,且装备更加完善。F项意为“这次行程之后,我们一家人对野营产生了浓厚的兴趣。”,下文中的We指代my family,该句有效地连接了上下文。
⑤总结句。本句位于最后一段,起到了总结全文的作用,且与文章开头提到的三年前不喜欢野营相呼应。E项符合语境,意为“我不得不说我绝对已经喜欢上了野营。”

第三节
答案:
Dear Tony,
I'm happy to receive your letter and know you're coming to China.
Both the two trips to the Yangtze River and our capital Beijing are highly recommended. Personally, I prefer the tour along the Yangtze River, the longest river and one of the mother rivers of Chinese civilization. You can learn a lot about the history of China and Chinese people. Moreover, with many well-known sightseeing spots, the scenery along the river is amazing and is bound to take your breath away. That's why I think the trip along the Yangtze River will be a better choice.
Hope you'll have a good time in China.
Yours,
Li Hua
答案:
Paragraph 1:
Later, there was a tournament held in the city where I studied. It was a tournament for university students. Players came from all the northern universities. I felt very proud because I took part in it for my university. I believed that I could play pretty well and get a good ranking in the tournament. However, I felt very nervous, because I played against a student who had won many times. I played very hard and tried my best. Although I lost the tournament, it was a good practice.
Paragraph 2:
After the tournament I didn't often play the sport because of the busy study. But I played ping-pong with my friends when I was free. I thought it was a great deal of fun to play ping-pong with friends. It was also a good way to make our friendship closer and keep us healthier. We sometimes took part in a competition together, but we didn't care about winning or not. We all knew that a win was not everything. We just enjoyed playing together and had a wonderful time.
