22、Whether you plan to travel to España sometime soon, or just want to take a virtual vacation, here are some of Barcelona and Madrid’s most intriguing spiritual spots.
La Sagrada Familia
No trip to Barcelona is complete without gazing at Antoni Gaudi’s crowning achievement: La Sagrada Familia. The church is expected to be completed in 2026, exactly 100 years after the architect’s death.
Once finished, it will be the tallest church in Europe at 566 feet, slightly shorter than the nearby mountain of Montjuïc, as Gaudi believed no man-made structure should be greater than God’s creation.
Clergy-baked Treats
At Monasterio Del Corpus Christi in Madrid, ring a bell labeled “monjas” and you can place your order for cookies baked by cloistered nuns (隐居的修女). Leave payment on a turntable and a box of sweets will appear as if by magic.
Holy Toledo!
About half an hour outside of Madrid is the ancient city of Toledo, known as the “City of Three Cultures,” because of its historical significance to the Christian, Jewish, and Muslim faiths.
Toledo’s old town is set on a hill. The winding, uphill, cobblestone streets-lined with shops selling swords and knives-will transport you to medieval times.
Barri Gòtic
Perhaps Barcelona’s most mysterious section is its Gothic Quarter, Barri Gòtic. Simply getting lost in its winding streets is worth exploring, with hidden shops, artwork of saints, and lovely lampposts at every turn. On Carrer del Bisbe, you’ll find one of Barri Gòtic’s most photographed sites-Bishop’s Bridge. Under the passageway is a skull and dagger design that has many legends attached to it.

23、Global warming happens when greenhouse gases trap heat and light from the sun in the earths atmosphere, which increases the temperature. This is like when heat is trapped in a car. On a hot day, the car gets hotter when it is out in the parking lot. This is because the heat and light from the sun can get into the car, by going through the windows,but it can’t get back out. This is what the greenhouse effect does to the earth .The heat and light can get through the atmosphere, but it can’t get out. As a result,the temperature rises.
Sometimes the temperature can change in a way that helps us. The greenhouse effect makes the earth appropriate for people to live on. Without it,the earth would be freezing,or it would be burning hot. It would be freezing at night because we would not get the sun’s heat and light .During the day, especially during the summer, it would be burning because the sun would be up with no atmosphere to filter(过滤)it,so people,plants,and animals would be exposed to all the light and heat.
Although the greenhouse effect makes the earth able to have people living on it,if there gets to be too many gases,the each can get unusually warmer, and many plants,animals.and people will die. Plants would die because they would not be able to take the heat .This would cause us to have less food to eat,and it would also limit the food that animals have. With less food for the animals that we need to survive we would even have less food. Gradually,people,plants,and animals would all die of hunger.
People are doing many things to try to stop global warming .One thing is carpooling—driving with someone to a place that you are both going to. Another thing is being more careful about leaving electrical devices turned on. Now,more people are even riding buses or bikes to lower the amount of greenhouse gases in the air .Although adults do many things to help stop global warming,kids call do just as much.

【2】The underlined worditin Paragraph 2 refers to__________.
A. light B. greenhouse effect

【3】What is the effect of atmosphere?
A. It only traps the heat of the sun.
B. It does great harm to humans.
C. It makes the earth neither too hot nor too cold.
D. It prevents all the light from the sun shining on the earth.
【4】What is the main idea of the third paragraph?
A. lf there is greenhouse effect,all the plants will die
B. Human beings are likely to disappear from the earth
C. Crops can’t take in the heat lf there is greenhouse effect
D. Although greenhouse effect is necessary,too much of it will cause us to die.

24、 Electric cars with heavy batteries should face higher taxes due to harmful particles(小颗粒) released by their tyres and their impact on the road surface, experts have recommended.
It is known that switching to electric cars will remove pollutants from exhausts(废气). However, models with large batteries capable of travelling 300 miles between charges emit(排放)up to 8 percent more particles from tyres and road wear than petrol cars, according to a report by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. It says electric vehicles should also be charged tolls(过路费) aimed at reducing emissions.
Drivers could also be encouraged to buy lighter electric cars by linking vehicle taxes to weight, the Paris-based think tank(专家组) adds. It calls for a “reevaluation of the net environmental benefits” of electric cars and suggests that they should not be given “blanket support”. “Road traffic regulations should consider both exhaust and non - exhaust emissions from all vehicles and should take into account factors like vehicle weight and tyre composition, it says. “While exhaust emissions are heavily regulated, there are no limits on the pollution a car can cause from tyres, brakes and road surfaces. With strict controls on tailpipe emissions and rapid development of electric vehicles, non — exhaust emissions are quickly becoming the major source of particles from road transport,” the think tank says.
Electric cars are almost £90 cheaper to insure than petrol cars due to electric cars having fewer moving parts, which makes them less likely to break down, according to a study by Compare the market, the price comparison website.
【1】Why should electric cars with heavy batteries face higher taxes?
A.Because they are more expensive.
B.Because they release more exhausts.
C.Because their tyres threaten the environment.
D.Because their batteries need charging frequently.
【2】What can we learn about electric cars from Paragraph 2?
A.Their drivers don’t pay tolls at present.
B.They emit 8 percent less particles than petrol cars.
C.They can remove pollutants from exhausts and batteries.
D.Their power can be switched between electricity and petrol.
【3】Which of the following will the think tank support?
A.Electric vehicle taxes should be decided by its cost.
B.The pollution caused from car brakes can be ignored.
C.Tailpipe emissions are still the major source of particles.
D.The benefits of electric cars to the environment are over estimated.
【4】What accounts for cheaper insurance of electric cars?
A.Fewer vehicle failures. B.Better tyre composition.
C.Lower vehicle weight. D.More advanced functions.
