Youve located the countys capital and one of Europes most beautiful cities: Madrid. This popular destination is considered a city of contrasts with its abundant historic sites, resting in the shadows of modern skyscrapers.HistoryThis city of over 3 million people is proud of Western Europes largest royal place, and some consider it to be Madrids most beautiful building. Inside the Royal Palace 2,800 rooms are decorated in glory with museum-quality furniture and artwork. Tourists can tour 50 of these large and splendid rooms. ArtThe Internationally respected Prado Museum is the largest and most impressive art gallery in Spain. Opened in 1819, it is filled with works of art that feature the worlds most comprehensive collection of Spanish paintings.ShoppingMadrid has some of Europes best shopping, and potential buyers love to look through the stores looking for bargains.

During one visit, he was saying good night to a teenage patient when he had a bright idea.Steve told the teenager to look out of the window after he left. Outside, Steve flickered(闪烁)his bike light up toward the hospital. To his surprise, the teen responded, flickering his own room lights right back.Every night after that, Steve flickered his light, and more and more kids flickered back. When he mentioned it to a friend working at a restaurant, the owner said he wanted in too. He started to flick the restaurant sign for one minute every night at 8:30. Soon enough, the customers started joining in with flashlights and cell phones. Almost by accident, a simple gesture was changing into a powerful connection between local people and sick children.Now more than 20 groups are on board for the *:30 p.m. flicker. Every Wednesday night, police officers line up their cars and flash them. Even boats on the river join in to give their bright good-night wave to kids who are going through frightening situations and sleeping in a strange place.“it is all I look forward to basically all day” says Abigail Waldron, aged ten. “ It just shows you that somebody is helping you through your whole experience in the hospital.”“It would be very hard not to do this,” says Steve, “ once you start.” The most powerful of all, he adds, comes from the families of children who have died. They continue to return to the hospital to flicker a light outside in support of children who are still patients.24. Why did Steve Brosnihan flicker his bike light?A. To get light for the hospital. B. To comfort a teenage patient. C. To inform the patients of his leaving. D. To expect a response from a teenager.25. What does the last sentence in Para. 3 mean?A. A small action can make a difference. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. Love makes the world go round. D. Great minds think alike. 26. What can we learn from Waldrons words?A. He likes to flicker lights. B. He is frightened of treatment. C. He gets warmth from the lights. D. He likes the boat light. 27. Which of the following can be the best tile for the text?A. Treatment for Sick Children B. A WarmheartedC. The powerful Lights D. Lights Flickering in the HospitalCWith the ever-increasing popularity of online shopping, users reviews are becoming more and more important. Given that you cant actually touch, see, smell or hear the product youre buying online, these reviews provide buyers valuable information on the product itself. But how far can you trust them?Barnaby Bicken had an unpleasant experience. “I took some friends to a restaurant in Manchester that had excellent review on a food website. However, the service was awful and we were ignored most of the time. Later, I wrote a review to the same site only to be told that the review site owner would not accept and bad reviewsonly the good ones.So, how can you get a useful review? Web expert Hilary Saunders has a few top tips. “If there are only a few reviews of a place, there is a good chance they have been planted by friends or enemies. If there are many reviews, start by dropping the most extreme comments. Also, watch out for similarities in style between reviews from people with different usernames, particularly if those reviews were placed about the same time. The best thing is to look for reviewers who show some relevant knowledge of the product they are reviewing.Some companies seem to be contributing to the problem. A publishing house offered gift vouchers(礼券) to anyone who would give their textbook a five-star review. But not all online companies operate like this. “Amazon works hard to keep the completeness of its customer reviews,” said a spokesperson for the company. “We have very clear guidelines, and when a customer reports a review that they feel is inappropriate, we check, and may take it down. So, next time you see that 5-star review for something you want to buy, be awareit could be the work of a false reviewer!28. What does “them” in Para. 1refer to?A. Products. B. Users. C. Reviews. D. Buyers. 29. What does Barnaby Bickens story imply?A. The food served was awful. B. Not all reviews are believable. C. Many people are easily cheated. D. He likes to write bad reviews. 30. What reviews of products are useful?A. Those by competitors. B. Those by different users. C. Those with good comments. D. Those with related information. 31. How does Amazon deal with the customer reviews?A. Helps to finish the reviews. B. Pays attention to the bad reviews.C. Offers gifts for the good reviews. D. Tries to make the reviews objective.DAs missing children age, they outgrow their last known photographs, which makes finding them tough. Now AI(Artificial Intelligence) could make it quicker to match any found children to those old photos.Police can use software to age photos of people who have been missing for a while, but these tend to work best in adults, as age-related changes to adult faces are more predictable and so easier to make. With children, these aged images(图像) dont tend to resemble the older child, and matching photos of found children to old images in a database of missing children is difficult. “Given a recent face image of a child, it is extremely hard for a human to recognize, visually, who the child is from a large data set of child face images,” says Debayan Deb at Michigan State University. Now Deb and his colleagues have created an algorithm(算法) to do this for them. They created a face-recognition algorithm on data sets, which contains images of nearly 1000 children between 2 and 18 years old. Each was photographed at least four times over a period of six years. The AI learned to match recent photographs of children with images taken 2.5 years earlier80 percent of the time. With one year between the two photographs, the method was 90 percent accurate a recognizing faces. This dropped to 73 percent after three years. The approach beats comparing children with photos taken when they were aged 0 to 4 that have been aged by software, which stays at 50 percent recognition after six months. The new AI might help to improve accuracy of this kind of software as well.Debs next goal is to make the age gap wider. His team also hopes to develop an app that could be used to fight child trafficking.32. What is suggested in Para.1?A. The old photos are hard to read. B. Found children change greatlyC. Childrens faces are unpredictable. D. Photos of children are easy to match.do the research?33. Why do Deds team do the research?A. To prove the advantages of AI functionB. To help the police change their softwareC. To build a data base to find the missing children.D. To improve the accuracy of childrens face-recognition.34. What does the underlined word “trafficking” in the last paragraph mean?A. Image matching B. Comparing C. Recognizing. D. Illegal trade. 35. What is the main idea of the text?A. Al could match missing kids to old photos. B. Age-related changes to faces are predictable.C. A face-recognition algorithm has been created. D. A new software is improved to find missing kids.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选次中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The holiday season is supposed to be the most festive and fun time of the year, but all those plans and expectations of joy can turn tougher and more stressful than they sound.
