One by one, horses and their riders jumped the flames in the narrow, paved streets of the town.“No one knows how old the tradition is. My grandfather told me that his great-grandfather took part，”said 34-year-old Diego Martin.“They say it could be 300 or 400 years old.”The town is fiercely attached to the festival, despite opposition from animal rights groups concerned about the safety of the horses.Just a few days earlier, Spain's National Association for the Welfare of Animals asked the town's people not to let their horses leap over the fires, apparently in vain.“There was an illness that killed all the horses in the town.Since then, we have done this to purify them to keep away any evil by asking for the protection of the saint，”explained 20-year-old Libertad Gomez, who has been taking part for seven years. “More than a tradition, for us it is a feeling. It is something you like almost since you were born，”said Libertad, who rode with dozens of others through the streets.Indeed, the smoke is so thick that it affects the horses and riders as they leap the fires. That does not stop youngsters from taking part in the tradition, such as 10-year-old Alejandro Nunez, who jumped for the second year running on a white horse. “I really like it. At first, it was a bit scary but that goes，”he said, equipped with a helmet and a checkered scarf to protect him from the smoke.1．We can learn by reading the passage that ________．A．horses leap fires in an ancient Spanish festivalB．a new festival has been introduced to SpainC．the festival is not popular among youngstersD．horses get injured over the burning flames2．According to Libertad Gomez，________．A．the festival came into being less than 300 years agoB．the activity helps the horses to be away from diseasesC．his grandfather took great interest in the activityD．the evil would take the horses away during the leaps3．When Alejandro Nunez first leaped the fires，________．A．he felt too excited to express himselfB．he was a bit frightened for the first timeC．he was offered a helmet and a scarfD．he became worried about his horse4．What can be inferred from the passage?A．Riding horses to leap fires can be dangerous.B．The riders are easy to fall into the burning fires.C．All the people support riding horses to leap fires.D．The activity will be done away with one day.BI left university with a good degree in English Literature, but no sense of what I wanted to do. Over the next six years, I_was_treading_water,_just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn't think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep­down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55，000 words.It takes confidence to make a new start—there's a dark period in-between where you're neither one thing nor the other. You're out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you're too ashamed to say, “Well, I'm writing a novel, but I'm not quite sure if I'm going to get there.”My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.Then I met an agent(代理商)who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedbacks. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.The next problem was finding a publisher. After two­and­a­half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal—that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck—of fate, really. When you set out to do something different, there's no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract of the publisher—to be a published writer—is unbelievably rewarding.5．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?A．I was waiting for good fortune.B．I was trying to find an admirable job.C．I was being aimless about a suitable job.D．I was doing several jobs for more pay at a time.6．The author decided to write a novel ________．A．to finish the writing courseB．to realize her own dreamC．to satisfy readers' wishD．to earn more money7．How did the writer feel halfway with the novel?A．Disturbed.B．Ashamed.C．Confident. D．Uncertain.8．What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph?A．It pays to stick to one's goal.B．Hard work can lead to success.C．She feels like being unexpectedly lucky.D．There is no end in sight when starting to do something.Ⅳ.翻译句子1．那座屋顶在暴风中遭到破坏的古庙正在维修中。
