C.Surrounded
D.Being surrounded
解析:选C。由by the enemy可知,此处为被动语态;由were able to可知,应用一般过去时,故选C项。be surrounded by ...意为“被……所包围”,as引导的是让步状语从句,故需倒装。

— Yes, that's a good idea.

9.The government must take ________ to prevent the water of the river ________.
A.measure; polluting
B.measures; from polluting
C.measure; polluted
D.measures; being polluted
解析:选D。句意:政府必须采取措施来阻止河水被污染。take measures “采取措施”;the water与pollute之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,故用被动语态。
10.A dog was knocked down by a car while running across the road, his owner ________ with others without noticing it.
A.was chatting
B.chatting
C.chatted
D.to chat
解析:选B。考查独立主格结构。根据句中的逗号可知,后面应用独立主格结构或从句,但逗号后没有连词引导从句,故只有用独立主格结构且owner和chat之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,因此用动词ing形式。

When I first started to learn Spanish at the age of 12, I knew I would want to live in Spain as an adult.Something drew me here, powerfully.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 day — usually from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm.But they'll always take time for a decent lunch break or to enjoy a coffee at a café.There's 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 (迷乱) for the first few months.I still drop_off at 11:00 pm, when the night's just getting started.
Spanish guys are much more confident than the British.They'll chat you up, they're outspoken and they go after what they want.They say the macho (大男子气的) 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 wasn't talked about.There's a sense that the nation is growing up when it comes to gender politics.
The Spanish can't make a decent cup of tea, and I miss my friends and family, but that's it.I enjoy my life here very much.
5.We know that in Spain ________.
A.people usually have a nice cup of tea at noon
B.people don't spend much time on their work
C.people usually have a sandwich for lunch at work
D.people usually take a good break from work at noon
解析:选D。细节理解题。根据第二段的“But they'll always take time for a decent lunch break or to enjoy a coffee at a café.”可知应选D。
6.What does the underlined part “drop off” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Fall asleep.
B.Go out.
C.Stay up.
D.Stand up.
解析:选A。词义猜测题。根据still的语境可知作者是说即使现在,他也在晚上十一点就“睡着”了。
7.It is implied in Paragraph 4 that ________.
A.women in Spain are not allowed to work
B.Spanish guys are not as macho as before
C.Spanish guys are not as confident as before
D.people in Spain don't care about family violence
解析:选B。推理判断题。根据第四段的“the macho culture has changed a lot ...but when I was here in 2009, it wasn't talked about及the nation is growing up”可知,现在西班牙男人的大男子主义已经不像以前那样严重了。
8.In which section of a newspaper would you most probably read this passage?
A.Education.
B.Geography.
C.Lifestyle.
D.Kids.
解析:选C。推理判断题。通读全文,可知作者主要是根据自己的亲身体验,来讲述西班牙人的生活方式,故选C。
Ⅳ.短文改错
Mobile phones are being more wide used.They're light on weight and easy to carry, offered fast and convenient service for communication.The users use them for make phone calls, sending short messages and internetsurfing.In recently years, mobile phones have become popular with middle school students.Quite a few use it to keep in touch with their families and friends, which, of course was convenient.However, I don't think it's good to do so.In spite of the disadvantages mentioned above, student users often waste a lot of time chatting on the phone in his spare time.Some even use them to cheat exams.In addition, mobile phone bills cost students' parents lot of money.
