Why go to Madrid?
There may be a slight chill (寒冷)in the air, with temperatures staying around 15℃ in March,
but Spain's handsome capital is slowly starting to warm up. Even more attractive are the cultural
events.
A new exhibition on the living and working spaces of Spain's greatest artist, Picasso, has just
opened in the studio at the Foundation Mapfre at Paseo de Recoletos 23. It runs until 11 May with
rarely seen pieces borrowed from his family.
Later this summer, the 400th anniversary of the death of the Renaissance (文艺复兴)painter El
Greco will be marked with an exciting exhibition at the Museo del Prado at Paseo del Prado from 24
June to 5 October.
How to go?
The widest range of flights is offered by EasyJet-from Bristol, Edinburgh, Gatwick, Liverpool
and Luton. British Airways and its sister airline Iberia combine forces from Heathrow and London City. Ryanair flies from Manchester and Stansted; Air Europa flies from Gatwick.
Barajas airport is 13 km northeast of the city centre and is served by frequent trains on Metro
line 8, but the shortest underground journey is a bit complex with at least one change at Nuevos
Ministerios station and takes about 30 minutes. The fare to any station in the city centre is € 4. 50.
The airport express bus runs every 15 to 35 minutes around the clock; € 5 one way. It takes 40
minutes to reach the city centre. A taxi takes half the time. A flat rate of € 30 covers most of central
Madrid.

My divorce was now final and I needed to find a new home for me and my six-year-old son,
Dash. A few days earlier I'd seen an ad. I was willing to try anything, so I contacted the owner, a
woman named Camille. When she e-mailed me back I discovered she wasn't renting a house at all.
She was renting the attic (阁楼)apartment. I left her a message calling off our meeting.
I thought that would be the end of it. Instead, Camille called me back and insisted I come over.
So here I was. I pulled the car to a stop and looked up at the tiny cottage. The house was small as it
was. The attic window looked too tiny to let much light in. We couldn't live in a dark, depressing
place. I could make do with almost anything. But Dash needs a good home, a place he really feels
safe.
I pushed open the car door and got out. I had to tell Camille it was a mistake for me to come. I
knocked. The woman who opened the door was small and bright-eyed. She was much older than I'd
guessed, but I could see she had the energy of someone half her age. She looked so sympathetic that
I found myself wanting to keep talking to her. "We have to leave our home," I explained. "My
marriage ended. I only have a few days to find something else, but I want it to be right."
Camille nodded. "You're a good mother. You never know the miracles that await you around the comer." Camille walked me to the door and wished me well. I got back in the car and snapped
out of it. I drove off slowly, hoping to make the feeling last. I turned down a side street I didn't
recognize. I glanced out of the side window. Just up ahead was a cottage with a sign out in front: for
rent.
I pulled over. I found the owners had just bought the house themselves and were decorating it,
hoping to find the perfect renters. They took me on a tour of the house that was like a copy of my
list: a big bedroom for Dash and a backyard with trees, a great school nearby. The house was meant
for us.
Camille was right. Miracles await us, just around the comer.
24. How did the author feel after she received Camille's e-mail?
A. Anxious. B. Excited. C. Disappointed. D. Content.
25. Why did the author decide to see Camille's house at last?
A. Because the rent of it was really low. B. Because her son begged her to do that.
C. Because Camille kept urging her to have a look. D. Because the price was within her range.
26. What does the underlined part " snapped out of it” probably mean?
A. Say something in an impatient voice. B. Stop feeling unhappy or depressed.
C. Make a sharp noise suddenly. D. Lose control of one's feelings.
27. What message does the passage mainly convey?
A. Never lose hope. B. No pains, no gains.
C. Every little bit helps. D. Well begun is half done.
C
On Dec 22, China became the third country in the world after Japan and the US to have a
carbon dioxide(CO2) monitoring satellite.
Named Tansat, as “tan” is the Chinese word for carbon, the satellite moves around Earth at
about 700 kilometers above the ground. There, it can "see" clearly how much CO2 there is in the air
and how it is moving.
How is TanSat able to do that? When sunlight travels through the air, the CO2 molecules (分子)take
in different colors from the light. The satellite then looks at these colors to find out how much CO2
there is in the air.
"The TanSat has very good vision (视力), and it can tell changes in CO2 as small as 1 percent," said Yin Zeng shan, one of the satellite's designers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, according
to Xinhua News Agency.
But there is a question. When CO2 can already be measured from ground stations, why do we
need a satellite that does the same thing?
The truth is that they don't do exactly the same thing. According to Zhang Peng, vice director of
the National Satellite Meteorological Center, the data from ground stations is limited and it does not
cover the ocean area, which takes up more than 70 percent of Earth's surface.
But TanSat has solved the problem. It has a bird's eye view of the Earth, covering both the land
and the ocean. It can also change its mode( 模 式 )and position when looking at the ocean area
because the water can reflect light. This light may change the data if its normal mode is used.
More importantly, China is now working on its goal of producing less CO2, starting from 2030
or earlier. To meet that goal, it will need to keep track of every bit of progress that it's making. And
with TanSat, China will have first-hand, detailed data of CO2 emissions in different areas, provinces
and parts of the ocean, no longer having to use data from Japan and the US.
28. Which of the following about TanSat is TRUE?
A. It collects the CO2 in different areas above the ground.
B. It gets CO2 data by studying the colors of air.
C. It has been developed with the help of Japan and the US.
D. It has different modes to suit different weather conditions.
29. By reporting that the TanSat has very good "vision", th article shows that .
A. the satellite uses many different kinds of cameras.
B. the satellite is very sensitive.
C. the satellite can capture every change in CO2.
D. the satellite can reflect light at 700 kilometers above the ground.
30. What can be concluded from the last paragraph?
A. TanSat is specially designed to reduce China's CO2 emissions.
B. China did not have any detailed data of CO2 emissions before.
C. TanSat will play a key role in helping to reduce China's CO2 emissions.
D. China is going to share its data of CO2 emissions with other countries.
31. What could be the best title for the passage?A. Making great achievements B. Cutting CO2 emissions
C. Monitoring the ocean D. Checking more carbon
D
People have grown taller over the last century, with South Korean women shooting up by more
than 20 cm on average, and Iranian men gaining 16.5 cm. A global study looked at the average
height of 18-year-olds in 200 countries between 1914 and 2014.
The results reveal that while Swedes were the tallest people in the world in 1914, Dutch men
have risen from 12th place to claim top spot with an average height of 182.5 cm. Latvian women,
meanwhile, rose from 28th place in 1914 to become the tallest in the world a century later, with an
average height of 169.8 cm.
James Bentham, a co-author of the research from Imperial College, London, says the global
trend is likely to be due primarily to improvements in nutrition and healthcare. "An individual's
genetics has a big influence on their height, but once you average over whole populations, genetics
plays a less key role," he added.
A little extra height brings a number of advantages, says Elio Riboli of Imperial College.
"Being taller is associated with longer life expectancy, he said. "This is largely due to a lower risk of
dying of cardiovascular (心血管的)disease among taller people."
But while height has increased around the world, the trend in many countries of north and
sub-Saharan Africa causes concern, says Riboli. While height increased in Uganda and Nigeria
during the early 20th century, the trend has reversed in recent years, with height decreasing among
18-year-olds.
"One reason for these decreases in height is the economic situation in the 1980s," said
Alexander Moradi of the University of Sussex. The nutritional and health crises that followed the
policy of structural adjustment, he says, led to many children and teenagers failing to reach their full
potential in terms of height.
Bentham believes the global trend of increasing height has important implications. "How tall
we are now is strongly influenced by the environment we grew up in," he said. "If we give children
the best possible start in life now, they will be healthier and more productive for decades to come."
32. What does the global study tell us about people's height in the last hundred years?
A. There is a remarkable difference across continents.B. There has been a marked increase in most countries.
C. The increase in peopled height has been quickening.
D. The increase in women's height is bigger than in men's.
33. What does James Bentham say about genetics in the increase of people's height?
A. It counts less than generally thought.
B. It outweighs nutrition and healthcare.
C. It impacts more on an individual than on a population.
D. It plays a more significant role in females than in males.
34. What do we learn about 18-year-olds in Uganda and Nigeria?
A. They grow up slower than their peers in other countries.
B. They are actually shorter than their earlier generations.
C. They find it hard to bring their potential into full play.
D. They have experienced many changes of government.
35. What does James Bentham suggest we do?
A. Watch closely the global trend in children's development.
B. Make sure that our children grow up to their full height.
C. Try every means possible to improve our environment.
D. Ensure our children grow up in an ideal environment.

Finishing Well
As 2019 draws to a close, it can be helpful to think about finishing what you have started. With
that in mind, here are some thoughts on finishing projects and seasons well.
Finishing projects
One step to finishing a project comes near the beginning. 36 This could mean getting an
article published, submitting a report to your boss or teacher, or creating designs for a product.
Whatever it is, if you don't know what your goal is, you're not likely to reach it.
In order to finish projects, you must also plan out the steps you will take. Break your big task
into smaller ones, and give yourself a short-term deadline for each of them. 37 Finishing the year
As we come to the end of 2019, it's good to take some time to pause and reflect on the past
year. 38 What would you like to do differently next year? The answers to these questions may
help you develop resolutions for the next year.
39 You could make a list of 12, one for each month, or 52, one for each week. Or just
write down as many things as you can think of. This will help you end the year with a positive
attitude. And don't neglect saying thank you to the people responsible for things on your list.
But reflecting on the past doesn't mean being immersed in your failures. 40 No one can
change the past, but you can learn from it and create a new future.
By finishing projects and years well, you can move toward your long-term goals and set
yourself up for future triumphs.
A. Take some time to visit your friends and celebrate.
B. What goals did you reach or what have you learned?
C. Define what it means for the project to be finished.
D. If you made mistakes, recognize them and then move on.
E. Then commit to following your plan to the end.
F. While you're thinking, consider things you're thankful for from the year.
G. Learning from your achievements and mistakes will set you up for continued success.

Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman.
A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is 41 and decided in
advance. He knows what he wants, and his 42 is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary
consideration. All men 43 walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the
shop has it 44 , the deal can be done and 45 is completed in less than five minutes, with
hardly any chat and to everyone's 46 .
For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop doesn't have what he wants. 47 , the
salesman tries to sell the customer something else-he 48 the nearest he can to the article required. A good salesman brings out such a substitute(替代品) 49 ; he may say, "I know this
jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size? It 50 to be the color
you mentioned. "Few men have 51 with this treatment, and the usual response is: "This is the
right color and may be the right size, but I should be 52 my time and yours by trying it on."
For a woman, buying clothes is always done in the 53 way. Her shopping is not often
54 on need. She has never fully decided what she wants, and she is only "having a look round".
She is always 55 to persuasion, willing to try on any number of things. Deep in her mind is the
thought of finding something that 56 thinks suits her. Most women have an excellent sense of
value and are always on the lookout for the unexpected 57 Faced with a roomful of dresses, a
woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another 58 selecting the dresses she
wants to try on. It is a tiresome process, but apparently a(n) 59 one. Most dress shops provide
chairs for the waiting 60 .

第二节(共 10 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 15 分)
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
I'm Margaret, an exchange student from America. I've been living in Beijing for several weeks
and I have made new friends here, many of 61 are locals. Through my interaction with them,
I've noticed some interesting cultural differences when 62 (eat) out.
One of the most obvious is the way food 63 (serve). In America, each diner orders their
own meal. When people eat out in Asia, they usually order food to share. Sometimes, one member of
the party does the 64 (major) of the ordering for everyone. Each of us has our own bowl of
rice or noodles, and we share the rest of the dishes. This is an excellent way 65 (try) new
foods!
66 thing that strikes me as odd is the way people pay for food at a restaurant. In the US,
we often ask 67 separate checks, so we each pay for our own meal. But here, if diners decide
to pay separately, they 68 (typical) don't request separate checks. Instead, they give money to
one person who 69 (pay) the bill. People also don't tip the server. Instead, there is often a
service charge 70 (add) to the bill.
