1.1.
A bridges
B walls
C roads
D rules
解析：选A。A 考查固定搭配和语境理解。“build bridges between Spain and China”意为“在西中之间搭建桥梁/建立联系”，符合她作为塞万提斯学院院长促进文化交流的身份。若选walls“墙”，含隔离、阻隔之意，与“connect different societies”相反；roads“道路”和rules“规则”也不能与 build...between 构成“促进交流”的固定表达。故选A。
2.2.
A many
B few
C cheap
D expensive
解析：选B。B 考查上下文照应和词义辨析。后文说“But those few books made her...”，其中those few books直接提示当时西班牙关于中国的书很少，所以选few“很少的、几乎没有的”。many与后文few矛盾；cheap“便宜的”和expensive“昂贵的”谈价格，不能与后文those few books形成照应。故选B。
3.3.
A strict
B interested
C weak
D honest
解析：选B。B 考查固定搭配。be deeply interested in...意为“对……深感兴趣”，符合那些书让她对中国这个神秘国家产生兴趣的语境。strict常与with搭配，表示“对……严格”；weak与in搭配时多表示“在……方面弱”；honest“诚实的”不能与in this country构成合理搭配。故选B。
4.4.
A rest
B travel
C study
D work
解析：选C。C 考查语境和动词辨析。她得到机会到北京语言学院学习，且后文有“After finishing her studies”，提示这里应是study。rest“休息”、travel“旅行”、work“工作”虽然都能与at连用，但不符合“北京语言学院”和“finishing her studies”的语境。故选C。
5.5.
A which
B when
C what
D where
解析：选D。D 考查定语从句关系词。先行词是the Spanish embassy in Beijing，表示地点；从句“she worked for 20 years”不缺主语或宾语，缺地点状语，所以用where，相当于at which。which是关系代词，不能作地点状语；when指时间；what不能引导定语从句。故选D。
6.6.
A so
B or
C but
D if
解析：选C。C 考查连词和逻辑关系。林纾不懂任何外语，但他借助助手完成了这部伟大作品，前后是转折关系，因此选but。so表结果，or表选择或“否则”，if表条件，均不符合“不懂外语却完成翻译”的逻辑。故选C。
7.7.
A dialogue
B speech
C competition
D game
解析：选A。A 考查名词词义和语境。这本书被视为中国和西班牙文化之间的美好“对话/交流”，a wonderful dialogue between... cultures符合语境。speech“演讲”、competition“竞赛”、game“游戏”都不能准确表达两种文化之间互动交流的含义。故选A。
8.8.
A at
B on
C in
D for
解析：选C。C 考查固定短语。have much in common是固定搭配，意为“有许多共同之处”。at、on、for与common不能构成这一固定表达。此处说中国和西班牙在家庭、食物和传统等方面有很多共同点，所以选in。故选C。
9.9.
A pride
B courage
C patience
D curiosity
解析：选D。D 考查名词词义和语境。后文“There is always something new to discover here”说明，是“好奇心”让她对中国的热爱保持活力；It is her curiosity (that) keeps...为强调结构。pride“骄傲”、courage“勇气”、patience“耐心”都不如curiosity更贴合“总有新东西可发现”的语境。故选D。
10.10.
A changing
B checking
C praising
D protecting
解析：选A。A 考查动词辨析和stop的用法。China is a country that never stops changing意为“中国是一个永不停息地变化着的国家”，与前文“中国过去40年的巨大变化”相呼应。check“检查”、praise“表扬”、protect“保护”都不能表达持续发展变化的含义；stop doing 表示“停止做某事”，这里指中国从不停止变化。故选A。
