• 1．Look at the map of Spain and point at the center.You've located the country's capital and one of Europe's 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.
     History
     This city of over 3 million people is proud of Western Europe's largest royal palace，and some consider it to be Madrid's most beautiful building.
     Inside the Royal Palace 2，800 rooms are decorated in glory with museum-quality furniture and artworks.Tourists can tour 50 of these large and splendid rooms.
     Art
     The 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 world's most comprehensive collection of Spanish paintings.
     Shopping
     Madrid has some of Europe's best shopping，and potential buyers love to look through the stores looking for bargains.But for 500 years，shoppers have gathered to an extremely large outdoor flea market known as the Rastro where they find everything from antiques to CDs.
     Entertainment
     No trip to Madrid is complete without seeing a performance of Spain's famous art form，flamenco.Every day，flamenco performers sing，dance or play the guitar in small cafes and grand theaters alike.
     Food
     Madrid has a wide variety of restaurants，but because the Spanish typically eat late at about 9 or 10 p.m.，it's difficult to find good dinner food earlier.If you get hungry before then，the best solution is to try a tapas bar where light snacks are served.Be sure to try the jamon，a kind of dry-cured ham：Spain is famous for it.

• 2．It was a very hot day in late Summer.I was a young dad working in a local wood mill.It was dangerous，back-breaking work that paid very little.In the year I worked there，only four other people hadn't quit and been replaced with new feces.Those of us who stayed did so only because there was no other work to find to support our families.
     On this day all of us were covered in sweat and dust.When I looked around，every face I saw looked angry and frustrated.Suddenly，a voice called out，"Hey!There's a deer in here，" A lost little female deer had wandered through the open loading bay doors and was now cowering（蜷縮）in between the huge stacks of wood.All of us stopped working and went looking for her as she ran about looking for a way out.
     Now most people where I live hunt deer for meat in the Fall but also treat them with great kindness the rest of the year.Many will even buy 50 bags of corn to help feed them during the harsh Winter months.It was no surprise then that all of us were soon quickly working together to free this little creature.By blocking off all the other routes，we were able to guide her frantic search back to the open bay doors.We watched as she jumped out of the building and back into the woods.Then we walked back in to work.I noticed something，though.On every face there was a joyful smile.It was as if this one single act of kindness had energized us again and reminded us of what life is all about.
  
  （1）Why were few people willing to work in the wood mill？

  
  A．They were dissatisfied with the pay and working conditions.
  B．They were tired of wood cutting and wanted more freedom.

• 3．Environmental experts warn that our planet is drowning in plastic.
     The world's cities produce 2 billion tons of trash every year.By the year 2050 that number is expected to rise to 3 billion tons.The World Bank estimates that the largest amount of trash today，about 44 percent，is plastic.But we often have to buy packaged goods.And often that packaging is made of plastic.
     Now，that may be changing.A new environmentally-friendly shopping model was recently launched at the World Economic Forum in Davos，Switzerland.This shopping model，called Loop，aims to replace throwaway containers with reusable ones.
     Loop is the idea of Terra Cycle，an American-based recycling company.Its chief，Tom Szaky，told the Associated Press（AP）that "removing plastics from the ocean is not enough." He said the point is to get away from single-use packages.Szaky said that Loop is the future of shopping.But it comes from an idea of the past.
     He compared it to the "milkman model" of the 1950s in the United States.Back then，someone brought milk to your doorstep in glass bottles and then left with empty bottles.These could be cleaned and used again.The result is zero-waste.
     Jennifer Morgan from the environmental non-profit organization Greenpeace also joined in the discussion about Loop at Davos.She said that "Greenpeace welcomes the aim of the Loop Alliance to move away from throwaway culture and disposability." But Morgan questioned whether companies worldwide are ready to change their business models.
     Loop is set to launch later this year in three eastern U.S.jye.ai，and also in Paris，F(xiàn)rance and some of the surrounding area.Then Loop plans to expand to the U.S.West Coast，Toronto，Canada and Britain by the end of this year or 2020.
  
  （1）What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2？

  
  A．Introduce a new topic.
  B．Encourage zero-waste lifestyle.
  C．Explain the reason for trash.
  D．Provide background information.
  （2）What does "it" in paragraph 5 refer to？

  
  A．An idea of the past.
  B．Single use packages.
  C．The idea of Loop.
  D．A recycling company.
  （3）Which countries is Loop expected to expand to by 2020？

  
  A．Canada and Britain.
  B．Switzerland and Britain.
  C．United States and Switzerland.
  D．France and Canada.
  （4）What is the text mainly about？

  
  A．A new shopping model.
  B．The development of future city.
  C．The world's environmental issue.
  D．The concerns of future shopping.

• 4．The ancient city of Chichen Itza in southern Mexico was one of the most powerful cities and one of the most powerful ancient cultures — the Maya.But today，no one lives there.It is only a group of old buildings.However，people from around the world still come to see it.People come to learn about its ancient culture，the culture of the Mayan people.
     The Mayan culture began almost 3，000 years ago and grew in parts of Central America.But about 1，000 years ago a group called the Itza invaded the city and built new parts of the city based on natural wells.They named the city Chichen Itza，which means "mouth of the well of the Itza".The most interesting structure in Chichen Itza is the Pyramid of Kukulcan（庫庫爾坎金字塔），whose four sides all come together at one point at the top.Each side on the Pyramid of Kukulcan has 91 steps.And there is one more step at the top of the pyramid.The steps are as many as the days of a year.Some experts believe the Maya could have used this building to help them know when to plant crops.Each day the sun falls on a different step of the pyramid，which could be a way to follow the year.
     The people of Chichen Itza especially designed one building to observe and study the movement of the stars and planets.Experts say that the observatory（天文臺）is one of the most complex structures the Maya built.A set of steps go up and around the observatory tower.And there are windows in the tower.Each window has a purpose.Experts believe that a person looking through one of these windows can see particular stars on particular dates.The Maya might have believed that studying the stars could tell them the future.
     Chichen Itza is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an important part of the world's history.Get interested？Then pay a visit to it to find more!

• 5．Much meaning can be conveyed（傳送）clearly in our eyes，so it is often said that eyes can speak.
     Do you have such kind of experience？ （1）

  ，but not too long.And if he senses that he is being stared at，he may feel uncomfortable.
     （2）

  .If you are looked at for more than necessary，you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you.If nothing goes wrong，you will feel angry toward others' stare at you that way.Eyes do speak，right？
     Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude.（3）

  .If a man looks at a woman for more than 10 seconds，his aim is obvious，that is，he wishes to attract her attention to make her understand that he admires her.In fact，continuous eye contact occurs between lovers only，who will enjoy looking at each other gently for a long time to show love that words cannot express.
     However，the normal eye contact for two people in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time，in order to make sure that the listener is attentive.（4）

  as if he tries to control you，you will feel uncomfortable.A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim（上當者），since he believes in the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication. （5）

  .
     Obviously，eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific situation.
  
  A.The same is happening in daily life
  B.In a bus you may look at a stranger
  C.Actually，things turn out to be quite the contrary
  D.This shows the listener is interested in your speech
  E.If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking
  F.Sometimes it doesn't matter to look at someone too long
  G.But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex.

      Anyone going to an amusement park（游樂場）might have seen the likes of me.I held purses，cellphones and sunglasses while others threw themselves on roller coasters （過山車）.I admit their bravery，but refuse to challenge my own weaknesses.
      One day when we were at the Wonderland Amusement Park in Toronto，my friends tried to get me to ride a roller coaster.But the click，click，click of the cars climbing up the tracks made me fear.The stop at the top，before falling with people's screams，seemed terrible.
      My friends were still trying to persuade me，and I was still saying no，when suddenly saw a familiar face，one I had never seen outside a television set.It was Jennifer Capriati，a popular tennis star at the top of her game，already winning titles at the age of fourteen.She was my heroine.I pulled out a pen and the only paper that I could find and walked to her.
      She was fighting her way through a rope that led to a ride called the Jet Scream.I was running quickly because I didn't want to pass up the chance to meet her face to face，but I was also a bit nervous.So，I waited at the exit to calm down and get closer to her as she came off the ride.
      Several minutes later，she got out from the exit，laughing and talking with her brother.I focused on her walking toward me.I looked down at the ground.She walked past.It was more difficult to talk to a star than I thought，but I had to take the chance.I called her name，not very confidently，but more like a question， "Jennifer？" She turned around.Her eyes met mine.Our eyes actually met "Would you mind signing for me？" I asked，handing the pen and paper toward jye.ai.Her hand wrote over the paper and said， "You are the first person who has recognized me in the park so let's take a roller coaster together."
