Marvelous Mallorca
Located off the southern coast of Spain, the island of Mallorca is often praised as one of the jewels of the Mediterranean. As the Spanish royal family’s preferred summer vacation spot, Mallorca 31 charms visitors with its beautiful villages and mountains covered in orange and lemon trees.
Since it is a(n) 32 small island, Mallorca is best seen by bicycle. The Serra de Tramuntana Mountain range runs along the island’s north-western coast and covers nearly 30 percent of the island’s 33 , which makes it a cyclist’s dream.The 34 roads that cross the tall peaks and rocky cliffs provide some of the most challenging cycling on the island.

As the day 39 down, spend an evening enjoying a freshly caught sup per in one of Palma’s oceanfront restaurants while taking in a beautiful Mallorcan sunset. What better way to wrap up your
Spanish 40 ?
III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Hugely ambitious in scope, The Lord of the Rings occupies an uncomfortable position in 20th century literature. This book of J.R.R.Tolkien’s poses a challeng e to modern literature and its defenders. (Tolkien on his 41: “Some who have read the book, or at any rate have reviewed it, have found it boring, ridiculous, or annoying; and I have no cause to complain, since I have similar opinions of their works, or of the kinds of writing that they evidently 42 .”) Yet The Lord of the Rings has enjoyed massive and enduring popularity. It would seem that Tolkien’s work supplied something that was 43 among the formal innovations of 20th century fiction, something for which readers were hungry. But what was it, and why was it important?
It seems that the key point lies in Tolkien’s wholehearted rejection of modernity and modernism. This
is what so powerfully 44 some readers, and just as powerfully drives away others. In his book J.R.R.Tolkien: Author of the Century, T.A. Shippey expands on this idea by arguing that Tolkien saw his story of Middle-earth not as fiction or invention, but as the 45 of something genuine that had become buried beneath the fairy tale and nursery rhythm.
“However fanciful Tolkien’s creation of Middle earth was,” Shippey writes,“he did not think that he was entirely 46 . He was ‘reconstructing’, he was harmonizing conflicts in his source-texts, sometimes he was supplying entirely new concepts, but he was also reaching back to an imaginative world which he believed had once really 47 , at least in a collective imagination.”
The book is also deeply grounded in Tolkien’s linguistic expertise （语言专长）—he 48 whole languages for his characters. Sometimes he became so absorbed in the creation of languages, in fact, that he 49 the story itself for months or years at a time, believing he could not continue until some inconsistency（不一致）in his invented world had been resolved. But To lkien’s great i ntellect and knowledge is not the source of his 50 ; without his storytelling gift, The Lord of the Rings would be little more than a curiosity. And this gift seems to originate straight from his 51 to break from classical and traditional forms.
Tolkien himself often spoke of his work as something ‘found’ or ‘discovered’, something whose existence was 52 of him. It’s wise to be careful with this sort of interpretation, but it seems 53 that he believed his work to be something given, something revealed, which contained a kind of truth beyond measure.
54 , his details have the weight of reality, and because of this his great sweep of story feels real as well; you might say that his 55 castles are built with a certain amount of genuine stone.

Section B
Directions:Read the following three passages Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
（A）
It was one of the most destructive days in the history of our planet, and now we know how it played out. Scientists have pieced together the first day of the dinosaurs’ extinction, by drilling into the crater （火山口）that formed from the asteroid （小行星）that caused their downfall.
The asteroid, w hich led to the extinction of all dinosaurs that can’t fly,crashed into the Gulf of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula some 66 million years ago. In 2016, a scientific drilling project by the International Ocean Discovery Program got rocks from the impact site, which has been underwater for a long time. Now, scientists have analysed these rocks to travel back in time to that particular day itself.
“It’s an expanded record of events that we were able to recover from within ground zero,” said Dr Sean Gulick, a geophysicist at the University of Texas at Austin and leader of this study. “It tells us about impact processes from an eyewitness location.”
In just 24 hours following the impact, a layer of material 130m thick was deposited. This include charcoal,
