I chose to study in Madrid because I had a desire to learn Spanish. My first impressions of Madrid were incredible. It was before the New Year that I arrived in Madrid for the first time. While traveling to my Spanish friend’s house in a taxi, I appreciated the buildings along the road which were different from those of my own country. There are an incredible number of restaurants and bars from all over the world. If you are really into sightseeing, I hope you have rechargeable batteries for your digital camera, because one week really isn’t enough time to see everything here including a number of art, science, and historical museums as well as parks, buildings, and amazing landscapes. What I liked best about life in Madrid was the fact that if you were frustrated with schoolwork and wanted to have some fun, you can easily go out. The nightlife never seems to stop and the people are all very friendly. You can meet people and practice Spanish while having fun at the same time. What I liked least was the fact that many people smoked in the streets. Also, coming from the US, I was used to having a big breakfast every morning, but while living with an actual Spanish family, I wasn’t really satisfied with the food in the morning. I think I have definitely become more independent since I came back from Spain. Living in a big city like Madrid I found that it is necessary to plan ahead and to make a schedule for future. There is so much to see, not just in the Spanish World, but in the European World as well. 1.What’s the purpose of the text? A. To attract people to tour around Madrid. B. To show how to enjoy Spanish culture.
D. To describe the author’s life in Madrid. 2.Why did the author suggest taking rechargeable batteries? A. It’s difficult to deal with the used batteries. B. It’s not convenient to recharge batteries.
D. You will find lots of places worth taking pictures of. 3.Which of the following in Madrid didn’t please the author? A. Parks and buildings. B. Restaurants and bars.

No one could have failed to be moved had he watched the live televised volleyball game between the Chinese and Cuban women’s teams. As we sat before the television set, with our eyes fixed on the screen, we experienced every kind of feeling. When the two teams played neck and neck, we were on pins and needles, anxious as to what would come next, and when our team fell behind, our hearts were in our mouths. Watching the game between those two teams is not only a matter of great joy. For more than that it provides food for thought. Just see how the Chinese women won the game — by their cooperation, by their excellent skill, their effort and strong will. A Chinese saying goes, "When two competent opponents (比赛的双方) meet, the strong-minded one will win." This is the spirit of the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team. If every Chinese showed some of the spirit, never losing heart in times of difficulty and remaining clear-minded in times of advantage, then our nation would stand in the vanguard (前列) of the world family of nations, just as the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team has done, is doing and will do. 1.While watching the game, we _____. A. had feelings of different kinds B. enjoyed a friendly and wonderful game
D. were eager to know what would happen later on 2.The wonderful game _____. A. brought us great joy B. provided us with food for our thoughts
D. give us a valuable amusement 3.The author believed that _____. A. the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team was the strongest B. China was sure to become stronger and stronger if only we have that spirit of the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team
D. the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team would never be beaten. 4.The best title of the passage might be “_____”. A. Watching a Close Volleyball Game B. The Spirit of the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team
D. The Strong - Minded Are the Winners

Some people think as more and more people have televisions in their homes, fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper, when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man, when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know? Television has not killed reading, however. Today, newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment. Although some books with hard covers are expensive, many books are printed today as paperbacks (平装本), which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories, for example, is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater, and you can keep a book for ever and read it many times. Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home. Every home should have a good dictionary. A good encyclopedia (百科全书), though expensive, is useful, too, because you can find information on any subject. Besides, you can have such books as history books, science textbooks, cookbooks, and collections of stories and poems. Then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets. 1.It can be inferred from the passage that _____. A. TV programs are a chief provider of knowledge B. cinemas are the best choice in getting information
D. newspapers are an expensive way to enjoy oneself 2.What does the sentence “Television has not killed reading, however” underlined in the second paragraph suggest? A. People only need reading, though. B. Reading is still necessary today.
3.Which of the following is mainly discussed in the last paragraph? A. Types of books B. Kinds of dictionaries
4.What can we learn from the passage? A. Fewer and fewer people will buy books. B. A good dictionary should be kept in every home.
D. More people like TV programs about famous men.

How to Be a Winner Sir Steven Redgrave Winner of 5 Olympic Gold Medals “In 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes (糖尿病). Believing my career was over, I felt extremely low. Then one of the specialists said there was no reason why I should stop training and competing. That was it – the encouragement I needed. I could still be a winner if I believed in myself. I am not saying that it isn’t difficult sometimes. But I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn’t finished yet. Nothing is to stand in my way. ” Karen Pickering Swimming World Champion “I swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. I manage that sort of workload by putting it on top of my diary. This is the key to success – you can’t follow a career in any field without being well-organized. List what you believe you can achieve. Trust yourself, write down your goals for the day, however small they are, and you’ll be a step closer to achieving them.” Kirsten Best Poet & Writer “When things are getting hard, a voice inside my head tells me that I can’t achieve something. Then, there are other distractions, such as family or hobbies. The key is to concentrate. When I feel tense, it helps a lot to repeat words such as ‘calm’, ‘peace’ or ‘focus’, either out loud or silently in my mind. It makes me feel more in control and increases my confidence. This is a habit that can become second nature quite easily and is a powerful psychological (心理的) tool.” 1.What does Sir Steven Redgrave mainly talk about? A. Difficulties influenced his career. B. Specialists offered him medical advice.
2.What does Karen Pickering put on top of her diary? A. Her training schedule. B. Her daily happenings.
3.What does the underlined word “distractions” probably refer to? A. Ways that help one to focus. B. Words that help one to feel less tense.
4.According to the passage, what do the three people have in common? A.
Courage. B. Devotion.
