第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节 （共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。

A

I chose to study in Madrid because I had a desire to learn Spanish. My first impressions of Madrid were incredible(难以置信的). 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.

21. What’s the purpose of the text?

A. To attract people to tour around Madrid.     B. To show how to enjoy Spanish culture.

C. To give advice on how to study Spanish.     D. To describe the author’s life in Madrid.

22. 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.

C. There are few stores that sell ordinary batteries.

D. You will find lots of places worth taking pictures of.

23. Which of the following in Madrid didn’t please the author?

A. Parks and buildings.            B. Restaurants and bars.

C. Nightlife.                     D. Breakfast.

B

There was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care. To water his flowers, he used two buckets(水桶). One was a shiny and new bucket. The other was a very old and dilapidated one, which had seen many years of service, but was now past its best.

Every morning, the gardener would fill up the two buckets. Then he would carry them along the path, one on each side, to the flowerbeds. The new bucket was very proud of itself. It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled (溢出).The old bucket felt very ashamed because of its holes: before it reached the flowerbeds, much water had leaked along the path.

Sometimes the new bucket would say,“ See how capable I am! How good it is that the gardener has me to water the flowers every day! I don't know why he still bothers with you. What a waste of space you are!”

And all that the old bucket could say was, “ I know I am not very useful, but I can only do my best .I am happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me, at least .”

One day, the gardener heard that kind of conversation .After watering the flowers as usual, he said, “You both have done your work very well. Now I am going to carry you back. I want you to look carefully along the path.”

Then the two buckets did so. All along the path, they noticed, on the side where the new bucket was carried, there was just bare（光秃秃的）earth; on the other side where the old bucket was carried, there was a joyful row of wild flowers, leading all the way to the garden.

24. What does the underlined word “dilapidated” probably mean?

A. dirty       B. dark      C. worn-out      D. plain-looking.

25.What was the old bucket ashamed of?

A. his past.    B. his aging.    C. his manner.   D. his leaking.

26.The new bucket made conversations with the old one mainly to          

A. laugh at the old one             B. take pity on the old one

C. show off its beautiful looks       D. praise the gardener’s kindness

27.Why was the old bucket still kept by the gardener?

A. Because it was used to keep a balance     B. Because it stayed in its best condition

C. Because it was taken as a treasure        D. Because it had its own function

C

For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?

Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’(青少年) complete unreasonableness. And of course the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely . Both feel trapped

In this article. I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn’t matter what the topic is — politics, the laws of physics ,or the proper way to break an egg –the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority—someone who actually knows something — and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress

28. Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict?

A. Both can continue for generations.    B. Both are about where to draw the line

C. Neither has any clear winner         D. Neither can be put to an end

29. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.

B. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict

C. The teens accuse their parents of misleading them

D. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents

30. Parents and teens want to be right because they want to ________.

A. give orders to the other           B. know more than the other

C. gain respect from the other        D. get the other to behave properly

31. What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?

A. Causes for the parent –teen conflicts        B. Examples of the parent –teen war.

C. Solutions for the parent –teen problems     D. Future of the parent-teen relationship

D
