Geography of Madrid
Madrid is Spain’s capital and the most populated city. The heart of Madrid is a well-developed place with a perfect public transportation system, busy streets and sidewalks. Some of Madrid’s remoter districts, however, feel more like ancient villages. The city sees some snow in winter and plenty of rain in spring and fall. Summers are hot with minimum amounts of rain.
Language in Madrid
The majority of people in Madrid speak Spanish which is the official language of Spain. Most colleges and universities in Madrid are Spanish-language schools.

Also, when you’re in Madrid, you may take advantage of many high-quality Spanish-language programs available to help you learn the language, and you’ll soon get involved.

One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem—inability to read.
In the library, I found my way into the “Children's Room”. I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle. There on the book's cover was a beagle which looked identical to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.
Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. The dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book.
At the end of the story my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.
My mother's call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book. and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.
I never told my mother about my “miraculous(奇迹般的)” experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.
4. The author's mother told him to borrow a book in order to ________.
A. encourage him to do more walking B. help cure him of his reading problem
C. let him spend a meaningful summer D. make him learn more about weapons
5. The book caught the author's eye because ________.
A. it contained pretty pictures of animals B. he found its title easy to understand
C he was reminded of his own dog D. he liked children's stories very much
6. What can be concluded from the last paragraph
A. The author's mother rewarded him with books. B. The author's mother read the same book.
C. The author has become a successful writer. D. The author has had happy summers ever since.
7. Which one could be the best title of the passage
A. My Passion for Reading B. Mum's Strict Order
C. Reunion with My Beagle D. The Charm of a Book
C
What’s a spacewalk Any time an astronaut gets out of a spacecraft while in space, it is called a spacewalk. Astronauts go on spacewalks for many reasons. For example, experiments can be placed on the outside of a spacecraft. This lets scientists learn how being in space affects different things. By going on spacewalks, astronauts can also fix certain things instead of bringing them back to the earth to fix.
When astronauts go on spacewalks, they wear spacesuits to keep themselves safe. Inside spacesuits, astronauts have the oxygen they need to breathe and the water they need to drink. To keep the astronauts and the spacecraft safe, the astronauts must leave and go back to the spacecraft through a special door. When on a spacewalk, astronauts use safety tethers to stay close to their spacecraft, which connect the spacewalkers with the spacecraft. They keep astronauts from floating away into space. Another way astronauts stay safe during spacewalks is by wearing a SAFER. SAFER is worn like a backpack. It helps an astronaut move around in space.
How do astronauts train for spacewalks One way is by going for a swim. Floating in space is a lot like floating in water. Astronauts practice spacewalks underwater in a huge special swimming pool. For every one hour they will spend on a spacewalk, astronauts need to train seven hours in the pool. Another way astronauts practice for a spacewalk is by using virtual reality(虚拟视镜). It looks and feels just like a spacewalk.
Today, only three countries have finished spacewalks independently. They are Russia, the United States and China. The first person to go on a spacewalk in the world was Alexei Leonov from Russia. Zhai Zhigang is the first Chinese astronaut to go on a spacewalk. The world record of spacewalks is held by Russian astronaut Anatoly Solovyev. He has been on 16 spacewalks and spent more than 82 hours outside in space.
8. What can an astronaut do by going on a spacewalk
A. Fix different objects. B. Collect any things he wants.
C. Carry out an experiment. D. Study how things changes in space.
9. What does the underlined word “tethers” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Special ropes. B. Spacesuits.
C. Spacecraft. D. Special backpacks.
10. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs
A. Walking in space is as easy as going swimming. B. A virtual reality should be used in a spacewalk.
C. Only three countries have ever tried spacewalks. D. Russia keeps the world record of spacewalks.
11 Where is this passage most likely from
A. A diary. B. A magazine. C. A novel. D. A guidebook.
D
Libraries are romantic places. The romance is that of reading, and the wealth of human imagining and learning that is contained in them. Access to the knowledge and literary art (poetry, fiction, drama) in a library is precious and particularly valuable to young minds and people of any age with an interest in education.
It would be hard to find anyone who actively objects to libraries. But when it comes to reality, Britain’s libraries are on less solid ground. The number of books borrowed in the year ending in March 2021 was 72.9 million, down 56% on the previous year. Physical visits also collapsed (崩溃), from 214.6 million to 59.7 million.
Of course, this is the behavior that one would expect during a pandemic. Many libraries were closed during this period, while people were discouraged from unnecessary mixing. Book sales climbed to their highest in a decade in 2021, which suggests that some former users of libraries may have bought books instead.
Private libraries at home, whether large collections or single bookshelves, appear to be developing well. But the hope must be that visits and loans at public libraries will soon return to their former level too. Like any other service, libraries need users. And while booksellers might in one sense be regarded as competitors, in fact the vast majority of those participating in the trade, from publishers to poets, are library lovers.
This has something to do with the romantic idea of the reader as explorer, with every book a door to a new store of feeling or understanding. But it also involves the recognition that if books are to form part of our life, there must be space in public for them. Books can be treasured personal properties, but there is also something special about a copy that arrives in your hands having passed through those of others and that will go on being passed between strangers who share your curiosity.
12. What has happened to British libraries
A. They have been in a bad state. B. They have become romantic places.
C. They have got great attraction for artists. D. They have suffered great loss of users.
13. What has led to development of the private home libraries
A. People avoid close contact in public. B. Many libraries have been pulled down.
C. People have access to affordable books. D. More people are against public libraries.
14. What does the author try to convey in the last paragraph
A. Books are precious personal belongings. B. Libraries are a magic heaven for explorers.
C. Books should be attached importance to. D. Libraries contribute to human connection.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A. Libraries will gradually fade out of stage. B. Libraries will still hold a promising future.
C. Booksellers benefit from libraries’ collapse. D. The pandemic has promoted British book sales.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整短文。
Last Saturday, David was taking a walk in the park near his home when he noticed a woman with a boy of about eight years old. When David passed them, he heard the woman yell. “How stupid you are! You’re good at nothing.” David stopped and looked at the little boy. The boy said nothing. He just stood there, looking upset.
David was reminded of his English teacher Mrs Brown in middle school. After he entered a middle school, David lacked self-confidence because he was often made fun of by others. He was often told that he was good at nothing, which David behaved. But one day it all changed.
One day, in an English writing class, Mrs Brown asked them to read a novel. They were asked to write a new chapter of the novel after they finished reading it. A few days later, David handed in his story. He didn’t give it much thought. But the next day, to his surprise, the comment “well done” from Mrs Brown came into view the moment he turned to the page where the story was written. When David read that, he almost burst into tears. He never expected to be praised one day. He suddenly gained some self-confidence.
That day after he returned home, he wrote a short story and gave it to Mrs Brown the next morning. And again he was praised. David became very interested in writing. He often wrote short stories and asked Mrs Brown to read them improve writing skills. One year later, David joined the school newspaper and became an editor of it. He was no longer that boy who lacked self-confidence. He gained his confidence, and was hopeful about his future.
He succeeded in entering a college and kept writing. Several years after graduating from college, he had his first book published. With some more books coming out, he became famous as a writer in his country. And he owed his success to Mrs Brown’s encouragement. Without her encouragement, his life might be very different now.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Inspired by his own life story, David decided to do something for that boy.

第二节（满分25分）
【47题答案】
【答案】范文：
Inspired by his own life story, David decided to do something for that boy. He went to the woman, who immediately recognized him because she had read his books and seen his pictures. David started to chat with her. He told her that what she said to her boy was not appropriate. Then he told her about the encouragement he once got from Mrs. Brown. In the end, he said, “I couldn’t have become a writer if I had believed I was good at nothing.”
The mother was ashamed when she heard that. She realized that she shouldn’t have called her son stupid, which would make him lose confidence in himself. So she said, “Thank you for your advice. I’ll never say such things to him again. Instead, I’ll find out what he’s good at and encourage him.” The woman then left with the boy. Looking at the back of the boy, David felt relieved, hoping his action could make a difference to the boy.
