I pursued a Spanish degree and spent my third year studying in Spain.At first，the difference in working culture really struck me. People work very long a dayusually from 9：00 am to 7：00 pm. But theyll always take time for a decent lunch break or to enjoy a coffee at a caf. Theres none of that miserable business of stuffing a sandwich at your desk at 1：00 pm as in Britain.I have also found it difficult to get used to the late nights. People are out at restaurants with their kids at 11：00 pm，and toprating television programmes are on at 1：00 am. It is a sleepless nation，but they have got used to it from a young age. Most foreign people，of course，are in a daze for the first few months. I still drop off at 11：00 pm，when the nights just getting started.Spanish guys are much more confident than the British. Theyll chat you up，theyre outspoken and they go after what they want. They say the macho (富有大男子气概的) culture has changed a lot. You can see this in the ads for family violence hotlines (热线) on Spanish television. Spain has a horrible record for it，but when I was here in 2009，it wasnt talked about. Theres a sense that the nation is growing up when it comes to gender politics.The Spanish cant make a decent cup of tea，and I miss my friends and family，but thats it.I enjoy my life here very much.29What do we know about the writer?AHe stayed in Spain for one year for his job. BHe enjoyed his life in Spain very much.CHe wasnt interested in learning Spanish at first.DHe got used to the night life in Spain very quickly.30We know that in Spain Apeople usually have a nice cup of tea at noonBpeople dont spend much time on their workCpeople usually have a sandwich for lunch at workDpeople usually take a good break from work at noon31What does the underlined part “drop off” in Paragraph 3 mean?AFall asleep. BGo out. CStay up. DStand up.DThe bed should be used as a place for sleep, but more and more people like to read an iPad a lot in bed before they go to sleep.Charles Czeisler, a professor at Harvard Medical School, and his coworkers got a small group of people for an experiment. For five days in a row, these people read either a paper book or an iPad for four hours before sleep. Their sleep patterns were monitored all night. Before and after each trial period, they took hourly blood tests to paint a day-long picture of just how much melatonin(褪黑激素) was in their blood at any time.When the people read the iPad as compared to the paper books, they felt less sleepy at night and less active the following morning. People also took longer to fall asleep on the iPad nights, and the blood tests showed that their melatonin secretion(分泌) was delayed by an hour and a half.The researchers concluded that because of the rise of e-readers and the widespread use of e-things among children and teenagers, more research into the long-term influence of these e-things on health and safety is urgently needed. Czeisler and coworkers went on, in the research paper, to point out that reading an iPad in bed may increase cancer risk.However, software has been developed that can reduce some of the blue light from the screens of phones and computers, and there are also glasses that are made to reduce short wavelengths. While they seem like a logic solution for the nighttime tech-users, it needs more research.32. In Charles Czeislers experiment, the group of people were asked to_.A. sit in a row and receive the strict testsB. have their sleep patterns observed all nightC. read a paper book and an iPad before sleepD. have their blood tested per hour during the trial33. The third paragraph tells us the iPad readers were likely to_.A. feel less sleepy and tired in the day B. fall asleep more easily after readingC. become less energetic the next morning D. have a lot more melatonin secretion34. The special software recently developed can _.A. reduce the blue light from the screens completelyB. help prevent eyes being harmed by short wavelengthsC. reduce the harm caused by doing nighttime e-readingD. be used in all the e-things widely and safely35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. No e-reading in bed before sleep B. New software for night e-readersC. Wrong things to do before bedtime D. No games on iPad in bed第二节：（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项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。Why Do We Find It Hard to Say “No”？As we all know, saying “no” to others is not easy at all. But sometimes we have to learn to say“no” 36 Below are common reasons why people find it hard to say “no”： 37 You are a kind soul at heart. You dont want to turn the person away and you want to help when possible, even if it may eat into your time.Afraid of being rude.I was brought up under the idea that saying “no”， especially to people who are older, is rude.This thinking is common in Asian culture, where face saving is important. 38 Wanting to be agreeable.You dont want to alienate (疏远) yourself from the group because youre not in agreement.So you agree to others requests.Fear of conflict (冲突) 39 This might lead to an ugly confrontation (面对). Even if there isnt, there might be disagreement which might lead to bad effects in the future. 40 Perhaps you are worried saying“no” means closing doors.For example, one of my friends wives was asked to work in another department in her company.Since she liked her team, she didnt want to go.However, she didnt want to say “no” as she felt it would affect her promotion (晋升) chances in the future.A. Wanting to help others. BFear of losing chances.CWanting to keep a good relationship.DI slowly realised I needed to learn to say “no”EYou are afraid the person might be angry if you refuse him/her.FIt means not making others look bad or lose face.GTo learn to say “no”，we have to first understand whats stopping us from it.第三节 完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、和D）中，选出最佳选项。What has really changed my life is that now I believe in myself.
