Advanced lights , motors , and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution .

Twenty –five years ago , there were hardly any education programs for environment . Today , it’s hard to find a public school , university , or law school that does not have such a kind of program . ‖ Until we do that , nothing else will change! ‖ say Bruce Anderson .

I chose to study in Madrid because I had a desire to learn Spanish. My first impressions of Madrid were incredible. It was before the New Year that I arrived in Madrid for the first time. While traveling to my Spanish friend’s 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 isn’t 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 wasn’t 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.

33.What’s 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 author’s life in Madrid.

34.Why did the author suggest taking rechargeable batteries?

A.It’s difficult to deal with the used batteries.

B. It’s not convenient to recharge batteries.

C. There are few shores that sell ordinary batteries.

D. You will find lots of places worth taking pictures of.

35.Which of the following in Madrid didn’t please the author?

A.Parks and buildings.

B. Restaurants and bars.

C. Nightlife.

D. Breakfast.

作文Let books be our good friends

Books are our friends because they are bridges to knowledge. Knowledge is valuable because it enriches our life and brings us to happiness.

Almost all great men in the history of mankind loved books. There is no doubt that it is the knowledge in books that led them to success. There is no genius without books, because books give them knowledge and knowledge gives them power. For example, the famous leader ----Chairman Mao read thousands of books in his life.

Books make us able to learn about the past and look forward to the future. They are the most

beautiful things in the world. Let books be our

good friends all the time!

W: Honey, have you seen my glasses? I thought I left them on the kitchen table.

M: Hmm... I saw them on the bedside table last night.

W: Oh, that’s right! I put them there before I wen t to bed.

Text 2

M: What’s all that noise? It sounds as if it’s coming from next door. The Nelsons aren’t back yet, are they?

W: I don’t think so. It must be the window cleaner working upstairs.

Text 3

W: Oh, my gosh, what happened? Your hands look terrible. Are you hurt?

M: This? I was painting earlier, and I just didn’t have time to wash my hands.

W: Oh, I thought that you had injured them!

Text 4

M: You really have a lot of hobbies, Sarah. How do you find time to keep up with all of them? W: That’s the nice thing about being retired. I have always had a desire to do more in the field of art, and now that I have time, I really enjoy taking art classes at the community college.

Text 5

W: The flowers that you sent me were so beautiful. But why didn’t y ou sign the card?

M: Flowers? I didn’t send you flowers…

W: But if it wasn’t you, then who was it?

Text 6

M: Do you think that you could help me buy a new electric bike this weekend?

W: Sure, but why do you want me to come with you? Can’t you buy it on yo ur own?

M: Well, I could, but you’re from around here and you know how to talk to the locals. Maybe I can get a better deal if you go with me.

W: I see… you just want me to come because I can get a better price.

M: Well, that and also you’re a girl, so you can help me choose the best-looking electric bike. W: OK… and I’m not just any girl. I’m the best-looking girl ever… right?!

M: Oh, uh… right!

M: Welcome to our hotel’s indoor swimming pool. What can I do for you?

W: You see, this is my first time to use the swimming pool, and I’ve got no idea about the water temperature of the pool. I’m afraid it might be a little cold.

M: You don’t need to worry about that, madam. This is a warm massage pool; the temperature is 36 degrees.

W: I see. I’m also not a very good swimmer. Can you tell me how deep the pool is?

M: Certainly, madam. The deepest area is two meters deep, but you can swim in the area at the edge of the pool, which is only 1.4 meters deep. We have separate locker rooms over there, and they are free of charge.

W: That’s great! Can you give me a key to a locker? I can’t wait to try the pool.

Text 8

W: Mmm. This is yummy coffee, Bob. How’s yours?

M: It’s excellent. You know, Ally, I just read an article about coffee last night. In the article, t here

were all kinds of interesting things about coffee that I’d never known before.

W: Yeah? Did the article talk about how people like their coffee?

M: Yes. People in different countries like different styles of coffee. The article divided these styles into instant coffee, regular coffee, and special coffee drinks made with fancy machines. It seems people in European countries like Sweden and Norway tend to drink a lot of regular coffee. It’s the same for the Germans. But strangely enough, in the UK, instant coffee is king. Perhaps they like the convenience of instant coffee.

W: What about the Italians? I suppose they prefer special coffee drinks.

M: That’s right. And while they are popular across the border in France, too, regular coffee is still the most common. In the U.S., people drink more cups of instant coffee than anything else. But, interestingly enough, in Japan, regular coffee is number one.

Text 9

W: Did you hear that there was a robbery in the area recently?

M: Yes, I heard about it. It happened in the building right next to ours. I would expect that kind of thing to happen in America, but it’s kind of hard to picture it happening in China!

W: Well, it’s becoming harder and harder for people to find jobs here, so I guess some people are just tu rning to crime. It’s so shameful.

M: Well, I don’t think that anyone will try and rob my apartment. We always lock the door, but more importantly, we have our friend’s dog staying with us. He’s a pretty tough-looking dog, and he always barks at whoever comes to the door.

W: Wow, I should do something to protect myself, too.

M: Why don’t you consider a security camera?

W: Hmm... that’s not a bad idea. I could put one right in front of the door, and then I could put another one near the entrance to the staircase.

M: I’ve noticed that a lot of our neighbors have set up cameras. It’s good to know that there are a lot of people in the neighborhood who are watching what happens.

Text 10

I want to transfer to another class. Mrs. Brooks, I really like my teacher and classmates, but I find it hard not to speak my own language. I’m surrounded by other people from my country, so it’s natural that we all speak in our mother tongue. I’ve been looking around for a class where there are

very few other people from my countr y, so I’ll be forced to use English. The best class I can find is the evening class at 6:00 p.m. I have an Indian friend in the class, and she tells me that there are six Spanish speakers and two Japanese students. Most people speak English during the break. Two students have dropped out of the evening class, so there should be room for me. I’m not sure what the class number is, but the evening class I want is in Room 305 in the Trotter Building. The class I’m in now is next door to the Trotter Building in Prince Tower, so it will be very easy for me to find my way to the new class. I do hope you can transfer me, Mrs. Brooks. If there is any more information you need, please call me. Thank you very much.
