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.
小題1: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.
小題2:The author went to Madrid to _________________.
A．visit his friendB．go on a sightseeing tour
C．study SpanishD．complete his trip around Europe
小題3: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 stores that sell ordinary batteries.
D．You will find lots of places worth taking pictures of.
小題4:Which of the following in Madrid didn't please the author?
A．Parks and buildings. B．Restaurants and bars.
C．NightlifeD．Breakfast.

Over the past century, all kinds of unfairness and discrimination have been made illegal. But one popular form continues to exist, that is alphabetism (字母排序法). This, for those as yet unaware of such a disadvantage, refers to discrimination against those whose surnames(姓氏)begin with a letter in the lower half of the alphabet.
It has long been known that the cars of a taxi firm called AAAA have a big advantage over Zodiac cars when customers look through their phone directories. Less well known is the advantage that Adam Abbot has in life over Zoe Zysman. English names are fairly spread between the halves of the alphabet. Yet a quite large number of top people have surnames beginning with letters between A and K.
Thus the American presidents and vice-presidents have surnames starting with B and  C separately and 26 of those before George Bush took office (including his father ) had surnames in the first half of the alphabet against just 16 in the second half. Even more striking, six of the seven heads of government of the G7 rich countries are alphabetically advantaged (Berlusconi, Blair, Bush, Chirac, Chretien and Koizumi). The world's three top central bankers ( Greenspan, Duisenberg and Hayami)are all close to the top of the alphabet, even if one of them really uses Japanese characters. The same case are the world's five richest men ( Gates, Buffet and so on) .
Can this merely happen by chance? At the start of the first year in primary school, teachers seat pupils, alphabetically from the front, to make it easier to remember their names. So shortsighted and small-sized Zysman junior gets stuck in the back row, and is seldom asked the improving questions by those teachers. At that time the alphabetically disadvantaged may think they have had a lucky escape. Yet the result may be worse qualifications, because they get less attention, as well as less confidence in speaking publicly.
The unfairness continues. At university graduation parties, the ABCs proudly get their awards first. However, by the time they reach the Zysmans most people are a little tired. Lists of job interviews and conference speakers and attendees all tend to be drawn up alphabetically, and their readers lose interest as they plough through them.
小題1:What does the author intend to show with AAAA cars and Zodiac cars?
A．An example of competition of two kinds of cars.
B．Some advantages of AAAA cars in the taxi firm.
C．An example of unfairness caused by alphabetism.
D．Some disadvantages of Zodiac cars in the taxi firm.
小題2:What can we infer from the first three paragraphs?
A．The alphabet is to blame for the failure of Zoe Zysman.
B．In both East and West, names are important to success.
C．Customers often pay a lot of attention to companies' names.
D．The discrimination in alphabetism can be found in many areas.
小題3:The fourth paragraph suggests that         .
A．a(chǎn)lphabetically disadvantaged often escape from class
B．teachers should pay equal attention to all their students
C．questions are often put to the more intelligent students
D．students should be seated according to their eyesight
小題4:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．VIPs in the western world gain a great deal from alphabetism.
B．People with surnames beginning with N to Z are often misunderstood.
C．Putting things alphabetically may lead to unintentional unfairness.
D．The movement to get rid of alphabetism still has a long way to go.

閱讀下列短文，從每小題所給的四個選項(A. B. C和D) 中，選出最佳選項。
Is veg food healthier than non-veg food? I feel this is a very common topic that people speak on．Please give me your opinions on this topic．
Rao
12-18-08
So far as veg food is concerned, it is also proved to be a healthy and nutritious diet, but has very few items which can provide us with proteins, but if you see non-veg food like eggs, chicken, and many more, such foods have a large content of proteins in them.
Sai
12-19-08
Man basically is herbivorous（食草的）. If we look at the animal kingdom
We can see that all the herbivorous animals have the similar dental（牙齒的）
structure, which clearly shows that the human being also ought to be vegetarian
by birth. It is only the living conditions that make man carnivorous（食肉的）.
The vegetarian foods are easily digestible.
Santos
12-20-08
Non-veg food items are better than veg items. A healthy person requires complete diet and veg+ meat makes the diet complete. The only caution that needs to be taken is not to have non-veg items on a daily basis. Once in a week or couple of weeks will be best.
Krishna
01-03-09
When we eat non-veg, we are all veg by nature. The chicken that we eat feeds on grains, the mutton that we eat feeds on grass, and the fish that we eat feeds on simple plants. So non-veg food by logic（邏輯）is better and suited for hauman beings.
Khan
01-05-09
Non-veg food is equally important in our diet as it helps in many ways, especially fish and other seafood as fish contains omega 3 which makes our immune system（免疫系統(tǒng)）stronger. Do you know that most of the veg food put together does not contain as much omega 3 as fish alone contains!
Khan

A．It damages our immune system.B．It has few nutrients.

A．have the same teeth structure as plant-eating animals
B．believe that veg foods are good for their teeth
C．belong to the plant-eating animal family
D．can adapt to the living conditions like plant-eating animals

We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job. This article gives some suggestions on how to give an effective speech.
You have to give a speech, and you’re terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble(結(jié)巴) over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank goodness, it’s over. I’m just no good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”
Cheer up! It doesn’t have to be that bad. Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion(場合)? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of time doing your research. Then spend plenty of time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they will help you make your points more clearly. Never forget your audience. Don’t talk over their heads, and don’t talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Just remember: be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. Say what you have to say and then stop. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.
If you follow these simple steps, you’ll see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You’re not convinced yet? Give it a try and see what happens.
小題1:The main idea of this article is that          .

Do you know how to use a mobile phone without being rude to the people around you?
　　Talking during a performance irritates (激怒) people. If you are expecting an emergency call, sit near the exit doors and set your phone to vibrate (振動). When your mobile phone vibrates, you can leave quietly and let the others enjoy the performance.
　　Think twice before using mobile phones in elevators, museums, churches or other indoor public places—especially enclosed spaces. Would you want to listen to someone’s conversation in these places? Worse yet, how would you feel if a mobile phone rang suddenly during a funeral! It happens more often than you think. Avoid these embarrassing situations by making sure your mobile phone is switched off.
　　When eating at a restaurant with friends, don’t place your mobile phone on the table. This conveys the message that your phone calls are more important than those around you.
　　Mobile phones have sensitive microphones that allow you to speak at the volume you would on a regular phone. This enables you to speak quietly so that others won’t hear the details of your conversations. If you are calling from a noisy area, use your hand to direct your voice into the microphone.
　　Many people believe that they can’t live without their mobile phone. Owning a mobile phone definitely makes life more convenient, but limit your conversations to urgent ones and save the personal calls until you are at home.
小題1:What should you do when you need to answer a phone call during a performance?
A．Call back after the performance.B．Answer it near the exit door.
C．Talk outside the exit door.D．Speak in a low voice.
小題2: Putting your mobile phone on a restaurant table may make your friends think_____.
A．you prefer to talk to your friends at the table
B．you value your calls more than your friends
C．you are enjoying the company of your friends
D．you are polite and considerate of your friends
小題3:When you are calling in a noisy area, you are advised to _____.
A．use a more sensitive microphone
B．shout loudly into your microphone
C．go away quietly to continue the phone call
D．use your hand to help speak into the phone
小題4:The author implies that the use of mobile phones in such places as museums should be_____.
A．limitedB．expectedC．encouragedD．recommended
