actually lives here.People come one week a year to party in the villages of their ancestors.During the other 51 weeks，villages are deserted.“There was a time when this place was growing！But not anymore，” says Felix Sacristan，whos 55 and unemployed，living in his late grandfathers house.“The only ones left are the elderly.There are lots of abandoned homes.” It makes for cheap housing，he says.Like much of Spains central Meseta Table Plateau，this land is dusty and the climate is severe.People say its like nine months of winter and three months of burning hell.“This land used to be for cereals(谷物)，but its difficult to grow anything else，” Sacristan says.“And who wants to be a farmer these days now，anyway？”In northern Europe，the Industrial Revolution pulled people to big cities centuries ago.But in Spain，that migration happened much later.The first wave occurred after the Spanish Civil War in the late 1930s；the second，after Spains military governing ended in the late 1970s.Now theres been a third leaving，during the recent economic crisis.But its not just on Spains severe central land.Even villages in the countrys most fertile northwest region，Galicia，are being depopulated.The Galician landscape once supported Spains highest population，and half of all Spanish villages are located there.Now nearly half of these villages are abandoned.“Some of the places Im finding have been empty for 50 or 60 years，” Adkinson，a Britishborn real estate(房地产) agent who searches the countryside for abandoned properties and tries to match them up with foreign

hell”以及“This land used to be for cereals(谷物)，but its difficult to grow anything else”可知，在费利克斯萨克里斯坦居住的地方是很难依靠种植粮食谋生的。故选C项。6The underlined part “being depopulated” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “ ”Asuffering disasters Bgaining attentionCproducing more Dreducing residents答案D解析词义猜测题。根据文章第三段的“Even villages in the countrys most fertile northwest region”中的Even和后面的“The Galician landscape once supported Spains highest population”中的once，以及该段最后一句“Now nearly half of these villages are abandoned.”可判断，depopulate意为“大大减少(某一地区)的人口”，故选D项。7Which of the following can we learn from the text?AVillages got empty suddenly in Spain.BSome rich people are moving to the countryside.CSpanish have experienced several migrations.DWorking as a real estate agent in Spain is very

the middle of a street in Petrograd to the great confusion of the traffic and with no small danger to herself.It was pointed out to her that the pavement was the place for pedestrians，but she replied，“Im going to walk where I like.Weve got liberty now.” It did not occur to the dear old lady that if liberty entitled(使有权利) the pedestrian to walk down the middle of the road，then the end of such liberty would be universal chaos.Everybody would be getting in everybody elses way and nobody would get anywhere.Individual liberty would have become social chaos.There is a danger of the world getting libertydrunk in these days like the old lady，and it is just as well to remind ourselves of what the rule of the road means.It means that in order that the liberties of all may be preserved，the liberties of everybody must be limited.When the policeman steps into the middle of the road and puts out his hand，he is the symbol not of tyranny(暴政)，but of liberty.Liberty is not a personal affair only，but a social contract(契约)In matters which do not touch anybody elses liberty，of course，I may be as free as I like.If I go down the street dressed strangely，who shall say no to me？We have a whole kingdom in which we rule alone and can do what we choose.But directly we step out of that kingdom，our personal liberty of action becomes qualified by other peoples liberty.We all tend to forget this.A reasonable consideration for the rights or feelings of others is the base of social conduct.语篇解读本文通过以一位老太太随心所欲地过马路而全然不顾交通规则和对别人的影响为例子，引出主题：每个人的自由都是有范围的，多考虑别人的感受是社会行为的基础。8What does the first paragraph

libertydrunk?APark anywhere you like.BWalk along the pavement.CWear whatever you like.DMake loud noise in the wild.答案A解析推理判断题。根据文章第二段可知，libertydrunk指一种对自由的误解，即只顾自己而不顾别人的不负责任的行为。故选A项。10What might the

underlined word “qualified” (in Paragraph 3) mean?ALimited. BRuined.CImproved.
