My first impressions of Madrid were incredible(难以置信的). It was before the New Year that I arrived in Madrid for the first time. While traveling to my Spanish friends house in a taxi, I appreciated the buildings along the road which were different from those of my own country.There are an incredible number of restaurants and bars from all over the world. If you are really into sightseeing, I hope you have rechargeable batteries for your digital camera, because one week really isnt enough time to see everything here including a number of art, science, and historical museums as well as parks, buildings, and amazing landscapes.What I liked best about life in Madrid was the fact that if you were frustrated with schoolwork and wanted to have some fun, you can easily go out. The nightlife never seems to stop and the people are all very friendly. You can meet people and practice Spanish while having fun at the same time.What I liked least was the fact that many people smoked in the streets. Also, coming from the US, I was used to having a big breakfast every morning, but while living with an actual Spanish family, I wasnt really satisfied with the food in the morning.I think I have definitely become more independent since I came back from Spain. Living in a big city like Madrid, I found that it is necessary to plan ahead and to make a schedule for future. There is so much to see, not just in the Spanish World, but in the European World as well.21. Whats the purpose of the text?A. To attract people to tour around Madrid. B. To show how to enjoy Spanish culture.C. To give advice on how to study Spanish. D. To describe the authors life in Madrid.22. Why did the author suggest taking rechargeable batteries?A. Its difficult to deal with the used batteries. B. Its not convenient to recharge batteries.C. There are few stores that sell ordinary batteries.D. You will find lots of places worth taking pictures of.23. Which of the following in Madrid didnt please the author?A. Parks and buildings. B. Restaurants and bars.C. Nightlife. D. Breakfast.BThere was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care. To water his flowers, he used two buckets(水桶). One was a shiny and new bucket. The other was a very old and dilapidated one, which had seen many years of service, but was now past its best.Every morning, the gardener would fill up the two buckets. Then he would carry them along the path, one on each side, to the flowerbeds. The new bucket was very proud of itself. It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled (溢出).The old bucket felt very ashamed because of its holes: before it reached the flowerbeds, much water had leaked along the path.Sometimes the new bucket would say,“ See how capable I am! How good it is that the gardener has me to water the flowers every day! I dont know why he still bothers with you. What a waste of space you are!”And all that the old bucket could say was, “ I know I am not very useful, but I can only do my best .I am happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me, at least .”One day, the gardener heard that kind of conversation .After watering the flowers as usual, he said, “You both have done your work very well. Now I am going to carry you back. I want you to look carefully along the path.”Then the two buckets did so. All along the path, they noticed, on the side where the new bucket was carried, there was just bare（光秃秃的）earth; on the other side where the old bucket was carried, there was a joyful row of wild flowers, leading all the way to the garden.24. What does the underlined word “dilapidated” probably mean?A. dirty B. dark C. worn-out D. plain-looking.25.What was the old bucket ashamed of?A. his past. B. his aging. C. his manner. D. his leaking.26.The new bucket made conversations with the old one mainly to A. laugh at the old one B. take pity on the old oneC. show off its beautiful looks D. praise the gardeners kindness27.Why was the old bucket still kept by the gardener?A. Because it was used to keep a balance B. Because it stayed in its best conditionC. Because it was taken as a treasure D. Because it had its own functionCFor many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents(青少年) complete unreasonableness. And of course the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely . Both feel trappedIn this article. Ill describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teens hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the childs failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesnt matter what the topic is politics, the laws of physics ,or the proper way to break an egg the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authoritysomeone who actually knows something and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, theyll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress28. Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict?A. Both can continue for generations. B. Both are about where to draw the lineC. Neither has any clear winner D. Neither can be put to an end29. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?A. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.B. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflictC. The teens accuse their parents of misleading themD. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents30. Parents and teens want to be right because they want to _.A. give orders to the other B. know more than the otherC. gain respect from the other D. get the other to behave properly31. What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?A. Causes for the parent teen conflicts B. Examples of the parent teen war.C. Solutions for the parent teen problems D.
