B A Spanish pany Siesta&Go has opened the first public napping (小睡) space in Madrid. It promises people a quiet rest in the middle of the citys business center. Napping spaces are nothing new; places to rest are already set up in other big cities in the world. But the idea would appear to work well with the culture of Spain, where people traditionally take an afternoon nap, called siesta. The Madrid nap space recently opened with 19 beds. People can use them by the minute or by the hour, and they can also choose either a private or shared room. An hour of napping inside a private room costs about $15. Siesta &Go provides all bedding, clean nightshirts and other materials. Nippers can request to be woken up when their time is up. It also offers areas to work, with armchairs, newspapers and coffee for those not wishing to sleep. Philip &Go is one happy customer. Marco says he gets tired during the day because of hard work. He says a siesta is the perfect way to build up energy. “I e for about 30 minutes or something like that. That is usually enough for me to be full of energy.” While many Spanish people love their naps, others like Carlos Villarroja say they are just too busy to keep the tradition. “Its a Spanish tradition, but I think its more of a legend (传说) than a tradition. Because of the lifestyle and the working hours, we have very little free time for a siesta at least during the week.” But many health experts believe there is evidence that taking a short nap can be very good for the body and mind. Scientific studies show that taking a siesta can also prevent illness and lower blood pressure.25. What is not allowed for customers to do?A. Sleep for free B. Choose a private roomC. Use it as an office D. Share a room with others26. What does Philip Marco think of the Madrid nap space?A. Costly. B. Helpful.C. fortable. D. Convenient27. Whats Carlos Villarrojas opinion on siestas?A. It is not necessary to take a nap. B. They can treat high blood pleasure.C. People have no time to take a nap. D. Its not true that Spanish people like naps.CProudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real talk I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked pletely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; flip (掷) a coin. Headsthe mander, and tailsthe peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmasters office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!28. What did the authors classmates think about his report?A. Controversial. B. Ridiculous.C. Boring. D. Puzzling.29. Why was the author confused about the task?A. He was unfamiliar with American history.B. He followed the advice and flipped a coin.C. He forgot his teachers instruction.D. He was new at the school.30. The underlined word “burning” in Para. 3 probably means _.A. annoyed B. ashamedC. ready D. eager31. In the end, the author turned things around _.A. by redoing his taskB. through his own effortsC. with the help of his grandfatherD. under the guidance of his headmaster DHave you ever noticed that the more you have the more you want？Lets face it. Thinking our life is good enough doesnt e naturally to many people. When we have high expectations of everything in life we will run into disappointment. Only when we are aware that needs are different from desires can we live with satisfaction. Here are a few ideas to help you be happier with what you have and who you are.Focus on what you are thankful for. Most people want things to be better than they are，or when things are going well，we forget to appreciate what we have. Learn to reflect on how much better things are than they could be. Focus on what you are thankful for. Write down 5 things you are grateful for right now.When we hold onto regrets from decisions we have made，it can really poison our wellbeing. Many people regret something they can no longer change，which ends up holding them back from moving forward in a more positive manner. What happened in the past is done and gone，so work to stay present and be mindful of the current moment to find more joy and fulfillment.When we use other people as the measuring stick for our personal success and quality of life，we are likely to be less satisfied. Social parisons can provide useful information when we try to learn from others，but they also hold our perspective in a discontented position. pare yourself less with others so you can be satisfied more.When you are focused on your big ambitions and future goals，you might elide the daily pleasures that surround you. Learn to slow down and absorb the wonder and beauty around you. Stay present and focus on the task youre undertaking at the moment. Dont let the life pass you by because youre always on the go and distracted by ambition.Practice looking at life through the lens of contentment and it will bee more natural.32.

Sometimes younger generations stop learning a language because parents want children to fit in. _36_ Native American children of the late-19th century were required to attend boarding schools where educators forbade them from speaking their native languages.The United Nations ranks endangered languages according to their risk level. For example, a critically endangered language is one that even grandparents dont speak often. New Yorks Onondaga language is an example with only 50 speakers left. An extinct language has no speakers. It is gone forever. Alaskas Eyak language is one example. _37_38_In the same way, different languages contribute to cultural diversity. Saving these languages benefits our understanding of other cultures. Languages can show how a society looks at the world and what it values. A language may describe something in a way that is funny, too. In Welsh, it rains not cats and dogs, but old wives and walking sticks.The Endangered Language Alliance wants to save languages from disappearing. _39_ However, its efforts are limited. If an endangered language is going to make a real eback, itll probably get its start in schools. For nearly 100 years, public schools in Hawaii did not teach the Hawaiian language. Now students can keep learning in Hawaiian from elementary schools to college and beyond._40_ At least one did. In 1881, a Jewish linguist named Eliezer Ben-Yehuda brought the 3,000-year-old language Hebrew back to life. Today it is one of the official languages of the country of Israel, with more than 4 million speakers.A. The last person who spoke it died in 2008.B. Why should we save endangered languages?C. Various animals and plants benefit our environment.D. With just 5 speakers left, it is absolutely endangered.E. Can a language with zero native speakers e back to life?F. Sometimes societies force minorities to give up their language.C. The nonprofit group finds native speakers and records their stories.第三部分 英语知识运用（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四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）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。When I first met my new parrot, Chico, his wings had been cut short and he was stuck on the earth just like us humans.
