一、阅读理解(共7小题;每小题2分,满分14分)
A
For the Travel section, writers and editors selected special items to profile from a dozen cities.
Brussels: Chocolate.
Nearly half the chocolate consumed in the world is eaten in Europe, and Belgium—with average consumption of 14.99 pounds per person a year—certainly covers its fair share. While Brussels, the country's capital, is home to hundreds of chocolate makers, what makes a visit necessary is the rich heritage of traditional chocolate makers.
Budapest: Paprika (红辣椒)
The job of preparing Hungarian paprika was once considered too dangerous for mothers to do. A woman who touched her children upon returning from work risked burning them, so only the elderly and unmarried were allowed the delicate task of separating the skin from the flesh. But by the early 20th century, sweeter varieties and a machine turned paprika into a common feature of all Hungarian cuisine.
Lisbon: Tiles (瓷砖)
Is there a bluer country than Portugal? The blue sky and Atlantic Ocean embrace the land. The blue moods of Fado, the dark folk music, form the national soundtrack. And all across Portugal, the typically—blue designs of azulejos—ceramic tiles—are spread across churches, castles, palaces, university halls, parks. The result is a beautiful land of Christian saints, Portuguese kings, historical glories, aristocrats (贵族) at leisure, seascapes and so on.
Madrid: Guitars
Walking into one the Madrid's storied guitar makers' workshops can feel like stepping into the past. Curly wood shavings, from the palest pine to ebony, fall onto the floor as artisans (工匠) turn some humble wood into works of art. It's painstaking work—all done by hand—with classical guitar models and the methods of making them changing little over the last century.

Dear Sir or Madam,
My name is Li Hua. I’m writing this letter to apply for the opportunity to go to America. As a senior school student who is really interested in learning English, I believe that this journey will make a great difference to me.
I have been learning English since I was a child, which contributes to my excellent English capacity nowadays. Not only can I read and write well, but also I am capable of expressing myself in English fluently. Therefore, I’m sure that I can communicate with the students in America well. What’s more, I’m convinced that honesty is the best policy and as a result, most of my classmates love to make friends with me. In my spare time, I read a lot, especially classical English novels. Besides, I’m fond of sports and do exercise on a regular basis to stay healthy.
I hope the journey abroad can help improve my English as well as broaden my horizons, from which I can learn more about the differences and similarities between China and America.
I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
