阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 Why go to Madrid?
There may be a slight chill ( 寒冷) in the air, with temperatures staying around 15 ℃ in March, but Spain's handsome capital is slowly starting to warm up. Even more attractive are the cultural events.
A new exhibition on the living and working spaces of Spain's greatest artist, Picasso, has just opened in the studio at the Fundaci ón Mapfre at Paseo de Recoletos 23. It runs until 11 May with rarely seen pieces borrowed from his family.
Later this summer, the 400th anniversary of the death of the Renaissance ( 文艺复兴 ) painter EI Greco will be marked with an exciting exhibition at the Museo del Prado at Paseo del Prado from 24 June to 5 October. How to go?
The widest range of fights is offered by EasyJet—from Bristol, Edinburgh, Gatwick, Liverpool and Luton. British Airways and its sister airline Iberia combine fores from Heathrow and London City. Ryanair flies from Manchester and Stansted; Air Europa flies from Gatwick.
Barajas airport is 13km north-east of the city centre and is served by frequent trains on Metro line 8, but the shortest underground journey is a bit complex with at least one change at Nuevos Miniterios station and takes about 30 minutes. The fare to any station in the city entre is minutes to reach the city centre. A taxi takes half the time. A flat rate of Madrid.

My school appeared on the news last week because we had made an important change in our local area. Our class had planted a large garden in what was once only a vacant lot. It was a lot of work but it was all worth it. I got blisters ( 水泡 ) from digging, and we all got insect bites, too.
I learned a lot about gardening and collaboration ( 合作 ), and then I learned about the media. Our teacher telephoned the TV station and informed them of what we had accomplished. She spoke with the producer. The producer checked with the directors, but they said there were plenty of stories similar to ours. They wanted to know what was special about our particular garden, since many schools plant them.
The teacher explained that, after going on the Internet to learn about the prairie ( 大草原 ), we had made a prairie garden. We had gone to a prairie and gotten seeds from the plants, and then we planted them. We did not water the garden, but we did weed it. We decided to let nature water it with rain, since that was how prairies grew in the past. We sent a picture of the garden to the news station. In the picture, the grass was so high that it stood taller than the fourth grade students.
As a result, the producer sent a reporter to our school. He interviewed the headmaster and asked him many questions about the garden. After that, they interviewed us, and we explained to them what we had learned through this project.
That night, we watched the news, and there we were. The news reporter told our story. It was only two minutes long, but it was us. We were famous. All that work, all those blisters, it was worth it. We knew that when we saw the garden every day, but now we knew that the whole city thought so, too.
4. What seemed to be the TV directors' initial reaction to the garden?
A. They were excited. C. They were worried.
5. What is special about the garden?
A. Weeds were allowed to spread naturally. B. The grass grew faster than common grass. C. The seeds came from the plants of a prairie. D. Underground water was used for the plants. 6. What does the underlined word
A. We got blisters on our hands. C. The garden would be famous. 7. How did the author feel about the project?
A. Annoyed.
B. Curious.
C. Proud.

Heads up! Across the country, sports injuries are a safety concern for young athletes. Now, the American Medical Association (AMA) has a new set of guidelines aimed at protecting players from the danger of concussions — serious injuries caused by a blow to the head.
“ By raising awareness of the serious risks associated with concussions and ensuring that the appropriate guidelines are in place, we can reduce the number of young athletes who may return to the game too soon, which can put their health at further risk,\said AMA Board Member Jack Resneck Jr, M.D., in a statement.

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a concussion is a type of traumatic ( 创伤 ) brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. This type of movement can cause the brain to bounce around or twist inside the skull (颅骨 ). It can damage brain cells and create chemical changes in the brain.
The CDC says that between 1.6 million and 3.8 million traumatic brain injuries caused by sports and recreation-related activities occur in the U.S. every year. A study from the Center for Injury Research and Policy showed that as many as 40% of high school athletes return to playing before they should. The AMA'S new guidelines should help to bring those numbers down. 8. Why does the AMA set the new guidelines?
A. To raise safety standards of sports. B. To protect athletes from concussions. C. To set rules for health care evaluation. D. To help players return to the game quickly.
9. What should young athletes who may have a concussion do?
A. Avoid using the head. C. Get treatment in time.
10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. What a concussion is. C. How the CDC works.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?

The Hotel Wake-up Call Gets Personal
Here's a wake-up call: The hotel front desk will do one better than ringing your phone in the morning. They'll send an actual human being to your room. Don't worry. They won't come in and kiss you good morning. __ 16___
Never mind that most travelers nowadays have smart phones with built-in alarm clocks. __17___ Here are some examples. At the Wolcott Hotel, if a wake-up call is unanswered, they will send an employee to your door. At Las Ventanas al Paraiso, an employee shows up at your room to wake you up with tea, coffee and breakfast bread. At the Mandarin Oriental, a person rather than an automated system will call to wake you up. __ 18__
Hotels have always taken the wake-up call seriously. __ 19__If you don't get your call within five minutes of the requested time, you won't have to pay for your room. Travelers, too, still want to have an option of a wake-up call. A study of 285 guests at Crown Plaza found that 53% considered a wake-up call very important.
__20 __In the late 1980s, hotels turned to automated systems. Then all you'd get was a ring and silence. In the ever-competitive race for loyal customers, however, many hotels are now getting creative with the wake-up call. Some hotels even have recordings of celebrity voices. And more hotels will go back to the old in-person system of wake up calls. A. But they might bring you coffee.
B. If you don't answer, you'll get a wake-up knock.
C. Crown Plaza, for instance, has a wake-up call guarantee. D. But the wake-up call became less personal over the years.
B. A chemistry paper. D. A health magazine.
B. Reduce the use of pesticides. D. Buy large companies' products. B. It is easier to grow. D. It is more nutritious.
