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, 2800 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.‎ ‎21. 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.‎ ‎22. What kind of market is “the Rastro”？‎ A. For potential buyers B. For artworks.‎ C. To sell various goods. D. To sell antiques and CDs.‎ ‎23. 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 Phillida Eves and her husband Tedd Hamilton weren’t unhappy living in the Galway countryside with their sons, Clan and Oisin, and their daughter, Soracha. “We had a lovely home, a car, lots of friends, and weekends sailing our boat.” Says Phillida. “But there’s a line from a poem that goes: ‘Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?’ That says it all for me. We felt that there was more to life.”‎ So they quit their jobs, took their sons, then aged six and nine, out of school and went to southern Spain where they bought a 15-metre yacht(游艇) and headed up the coast to Barcelona. Soracha was not even three. And they brought along Poppy, the family dog. Now, two and a half years and 10,000 km later, they don’t intend to stop.‎ ‎ Tedd is a yacht engineer and can find work in ports. But, says Phillida, a supply teacher(代课老师), “Any family could do this.”‎ The children are home-schooled using a correspondence course(函授课程). My son had a recent project on the weather. The weather is vital to us. My son knows more than most adults about weather systems, compasses, maps and directions. The weather, for him, means life or death.‎ Other subjects have become equally vivid. “They’re learning geography and history all the time. We’ve sailed round Italy, Sardinia, Sicily, and seen tiny islands we didn’t know. The kids learned about ancient Romans by visiting Rome. One summer off the Italian coast we sailed past a volcano at 2 a.m. We woke the kids. There it was, under the moon, with fire coming out of the top—you don’t get that in a textbook.”‎ But what about social development? Again, Phillida is sanguine. “The children have become much more socially confident since we set out. They play with tones of families of all nationalities on other boats we meet.”‎ Living for the moment, they believe, is a huge life lesson. “Our children never say they’re bored.” The other day they stopped mid-ocean and the kids swam, 110 km from land. “That’s the kind of freedom we want for them,” says Phillida. “That’s the kind of freedom they’ve got.”‎ ‎24. The couple quit their jobs and took their children travelling because .‎ A. their children wanted to make friends of all nationalities.‎ B. they wanted to experience more in their lives.‎ C. their children wanted completed freedom.‎ D. they were unhappy with their lives.‎ ‎25. The underlined word “sanguine” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to “ “.‎ A. patient B.optimistic C. excited D. curious ‎26. The author describes the children’s home-schooling by .‎ A.following the order of importance. B. making comparisons C. using examples. D. describing the changes in space order ‎27. What can we learn about the family from the text?‎ A. They plan to stop for a rest.‎ B. They have toured for more than 3 years.‎ C. They believe any family can do the same thing as they can do.‎ D. They have made several geographical and historical discoveries.‎ ‎ C Spending money on time-saving services reduces stress and boosts (增进) happiness, according to a new research, but shockingly, few of us do it.‎ Whillans, a professor at HBS said, “Buying time helps to protect us from the stress in our lives caused by time pressure, and the feeling that we don’ t have enough minutes in the day to complete our tasks.’’‎ The effect was clearest in the Canadian experiment, in which 60 working adults were given $40 to spend in two different ways. One weekend, they were told to spend the money on a material purchase—a gift for themselves. The next weekend, they were instructed to spend the $40 on anything that saved them time, from paying the neighbor’s kid to run errands (跑腿) to taking a Uber instead of a bus.‎ ‎“On the day they made the time-saving purchase, they felt happier, in a better mood, and lower feelings of time stress than on the day they bought a material purchase” said Whillans.‎ The biggest surprise to the researchers was how few people would spend money on time-saving services. When they asked 98 working adults how they would spend a “windfall” of $40, only two percent named a purchase that would save them time.‎ ‎“One reason,’’ said Whillans, “is that we’re very bad at remembering how much we hate doing certain tasks once the suffering has passed. That makes us less likely to take active steps to avoid that over burdened feeling in the future.” But another possible cause is good old-fashioned guilt. “If you feel guilty about getting someone to clean your house for you, then you might get less happiness from that task,” said Whillans, or you might just be less likely to spend your money in that way. ’’‎ 28. In the Canadian experiment, the participants .‎ A. were divided into two groups B. were given $ 40 every two weeks C. were asked to give money to a neighbor’s kid D. were asked to spend the money in different ways 29. According to the author, what can make people less time-stressed?‎ A. Paying much for a concert ticket.‎ B. Taking a regular bus to get to work.‎ C. Employing someone to clean the garden.‎ D. Buying themselves an expensive present.‎ 30. When it comes to spending money on ‘‘buying time”, .‎ A. no people would like to do it B. a small percentage of people choose to do it C. more people will do it if extra money is given D. most people like the idea but don’t practice it in life 31. ‎ What do the underlined words “that overburdened feeling” in Paragraph 6 refer to?‎ A. The good old-fashioned guilt.‎ B. The feeling of spending money on goods.‎ C. The stress of having someone clean your house.‎ D. The discomfort when completing tasks we hate doing.‎ ‎ D Dear Alcohol，‎ You've been around forever. I can remember all the pain you've caused for me.‎ Do you remember the night when you almost took my father's life? I do. He loves you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. He's addicted to you, to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them. You just sat back and laughed as his car went spinning through the street, crashing into two other cars. He wasn't the only one hurt by you that night.‎ Do you remember the night of my first high school party? You were there. My friends were intrigued by you. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again, drinking all of you that they could. I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen completely. “I'm so embarrassed,” they said as I patted them on the back so that they could vomit(呕吐). “I'm sorry,” they said when I called taxies for them, walking them out and paying the drivers in advance. “This won't happen again,” they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped. Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night thanks to you.‎ Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car? He died the next morning too. His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didn't realize her brother was in the midst of it at all. She never saw him again. And it's all your fault.‎ I wish you'd walk out of my life forever. I don't want anything to do with you. Look at all the pain you've caused. Sure, you've made people happy, too, from time to time. But the damage you've caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable. Stop luring(引诱) the people I love. Stop hurting me, please!‎ Sincerely，‎ Anonymous ‎32. What is author's purpose in writing to alcohol?‎ A. To introduce Mr. Alcohol to the readers.‎ B. To describe the harm alcohol did to his family.‎ C. To show how much alcohol can hurt people.‎ D. To tell people three sad stories about alcohol.‎ ‎33. What did alcohol do to the author's father that night?‎ A.It got him into a car accident and badly injured.‎ B. It got him into trouble and got his stomach pumped.‎ C. It made him kill two other people when driving.‎ D. It made him drunk and took his life away.‎ ‎34. The underlined phrase “were intrigued by” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “________”．‎ A. were familiar with B. were satisfied with ‎ C. were disappointed by D.were interested in ‎35. What is the tone of the article?‎ A. Critical. B. Doubtful. C. Unconcerned. D. Humorous.‎ ‎ ‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ We are not suggesting that you can reach a permanent state called “happiness” and remain there. But there are many ways to turn the path of anxiety, anger, and sadness into a state of happiness. Here are four ideas to get you started. 36 .‎ ‎● Laugh out loud Just expecting a happy, funny event can raise levels of pleasure-causing hormones(荷尔蒙) and lower production of stress hormones. Researchers at the University of California tested 16 men, who all agreed they thought a certain videotape was funny. Half were told three days in advance they would watch it. 37 When they actually watched the video, their levels of stress hormones dropped greatly, while their levels of pleasure-causing hormones rose 27 percent.‎ ● Do one thing at a time Eduward Suarez, professor of medical psychology at Duck, found that people who do several things at the same time are more likely to have high blood pressure. 38 Instead of talking on the phone while cleaning the kitchen, sit down in a comfortable chair and turn your entire attention over to the conversation.‎ ‎● 39 ‎ Although relationships help take away stress, sometimes you need time to recharge and reflect on your own. Take yourself out to lunch or to a movie, or simply spend an afternoon reading at home, or looking through books in a bookstore.‎ ‎● Practice mindfulness ‎ 40 Instead of worrying about your check-up tomorrow while having dinner with your family, focus on the here and now—food, the company, and the conversation.‎ A. Spend time alone.‎ B. Focus on the present.‎ C. Take care of the soul.‎ D. Take that finding seriously.‎ E. Choose the ones that work for you.‎ F. They started experiencing biological changes right away.‎ G. find a quiet place near your house and make it your secret place to.‎ 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ ‎“Now,” Mrs. Virginia White said, smiling, “we are going to discover our professions.” The class seemed to be greatly surprised.

But journalism did some thing to me; it was in my 54 .

They are popular for several reasons. An e-reader takes up much 62 (little) room than real books. Lots of people don’t re-read books; an e-reader means they don’t end up with a house 63 (fill) with books they’ll never read again. And people say they’re more environmentally friendly: no trees 64 (cut) down for paper and no ink is needed.‎ Last year, my father 65 (buy) me an e-reader. I have never actually read a book on it. There’s something upset about 66 (have) to charge it up before I can read; with a real book you can just open it and begin. It doesn’t feel 67 same as a real book in my hands: it’s too light. My fingers miss the familiar feeling of turning the page. In addition, reading on a screen 68 a long time makes your eyes feel rather tired. You don’t get this problem with a real book.‎ Therefore, however 69 (success) these e-readers are, nothing can beat the attraction of a real book for me, 70 you can feel the pages of and put a bookmark in.‎ 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分） 第一节 （共10小题；每小题1分，共10分） 　　假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处，每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。 　　增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（∧），并在其正下面写出该加的词。 　　删除：把多余的词用斜线（╲）划掉。 　　修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词正下面写出修改后的词。 　　注意：1. 每处错误及其修改均限一词，请严格按照要求格式修改。 　　　　　只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分。‎ In a snowy winter night, a bus with 45 passenger had an accident because the wet road.
