When the sun comes up over the castle of Rocca Calascio, a small mountain village high up in the Italian Apennines, it's like a silent, magic wonderland. One such sunrise struck Franco Cagnoli with a spiritual calling that led him to go on a mission that affected both the village and him deeply.

Rocca Calascio has seen no resident since 1957. Depopulation of rural or mountain villages in Italy began with the resettlement of villagers in the early 20th century, happening faster after World War II when people were attracted to urban jobs.

However, like many places， the area is enjoying a revival（复苏）and now home to some families. “To put it in romantic terms, there is a love story between me and the ancient building, ” Cagnoli said as he showed visitors round the castle of Rocca Calascio. The castle, with foundations dating back about 1, 000 years, is one of the highest in Europe. It began as a tower in a line of connected structures to control and protect the land that stretched inland from the Adriatic Sea.

Cagnoli, now 39, first saw Rocca Calascio when he was 16. He was on a road trip to find himself. “I arrived here as the morning sun lit up the castle. I was blinded by the light and since that day something inside me has changed, ” he said. “I thought it was the most beautiful place. I felt special energies, deciding to help its rebirth. ” He's now the castle's caretaker and head of a cooperative whose members guide visitors.

“Besides temporary visitors, the complete revival has much to do with permanent residents. People of the previous generation didn't appreciate the land they lived on, ” Valeria Befani, a resident in the village, said. “Today's teenagers, like my children, are proud of their land and are happy if they can stay here. ”

24. What inspired Cagnoli to help revive Rocca Calascio?

A. His trip to find himself.

B. The impressive scene of the village.

C. His love for ancient buildings.

D. The historical importance of the castle.

25. How was Rocca Calascio affected by World War Ⅱ ?

A. Its population loss speeded up.     B. It got left behind in economy.

C. Its buildings were damaged.     D. It was known by more people.

26. Why was the castle built?

A. To attract people to visit.      B. To reduce attack from waves.

C. To strengthen coastal defense.     D. To protect the connected structures.

27. What might Befani agree with?

A. Views of different generations vary greatly.

B. Reviving Rocca Calascio has a long way to go.

C. Teenagers doesn't appreciate their hometown.

D. The future of Rocca Calascio is full of promise.

C

Math anxiety is far from uncommon, but too often, those who fear the subject simply avoid it. Research from The University of Chicago offers evidence for the link between math anxiety and avoidance.

Studying nearly 500 adults through a computer program called the Choose-And-Solve Task (CAST), the researchers gave participants a choice between math and word problems labeled “easy” and “hard”. The easy problems were always worth two cents, while the hard problems were worth up to six cents. They also informed participants the computer task would modify the questions in the process of testing based on their abilities, enabling them to handle about 70% of the hard problems.

Although participants attempted hard word problems when promised higher monetary prizes, they rarely chose to do the same for math problems. “We found we couldn't even pay math-anxious individuals to do difficult math problems, ” researcher Rozek says.

The findings also contradict（驳斥）a widely held belief that feeling anxious about math and avoiding math-related problems is rooted in being bad at math. “If you take two students good at math, the math-anxious one will do worse at math than the one that isn't anxious. ”

Such a state of mind does more than stopping people from taking calculus courses or pursuing a career in STEM. It can affect every day interactions with math-like leaving a tip in a restaurant. But all is not lost. Reframing their anxiety from negative to positive could help math-anxious people re-engage. Giving those anxious about sitting exams guidance may lead them to perform better. “Telling them if you're anxious, this is your body getting you ready to perform and focus, ” Rozek says. Another path may be to create early positive experiences around math. For example, telling stories featuring math and tackling problems around the story may be helpful.

28. What does the underlined word “modify" mean in paragraph 2?

A. Adjust.    B. Design.    C. Solve.     D. Add.

29. What does the study find?

A. Math anxiety interacts with math avoidance.

B. Word problems are often regarded as easier.

C. Fear of math can outweigh higher rewards.

D. People underestimate their mathematical ability.

30. What is a common misunderstanding about math anxiety?

A. It is the cause of math avoidance.

B. It causes people to be bored of math.

C. It is a complex phenomenon in life.

D. It results from poor math performance.

31. What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A. Consequences of math avoidance.

B. Ways to break the anxiety-avoidance link.

C. Explanations for math anxiety.

D. Mental barriers to mathematical achievements.

D

From train tickets to doctor's appointments, there's a growing expectation that consumers should include technology in everyday life. We take it for granted that technology brings us closer and improves our access to essential products and services. But people who can't or don't want to engage with the latest technology are being left behind.

Technology should not be allowed to drive people to the side of their own lives, as many facts suggest is increasingly the case. For example, there have been reports that some elderly people no longer drive to their local parks, because they cannot download the car parking app required. Obviously, age is one big predictor of digital exclusion（数字排斥）．Only 47％ of those aged 75 and over use the Internet regularly. Out of the 4 million who have never used the Internet in the UK, only 300, 000 people are under 55. But older people aren't the only ones feeling shut out.

Concerns about privacy can stop people using technology as well. A survey into consumers' trust in businesses showed no industry reached a trust rating of 50% for data protection. Some people view “forced” digitalization as a symbol of consumer culture and limit their contact with it; also, many people take a“less is more"” approach to technology simply because they feel it offers a more meaningful existence. They all belong to a population group that often slips people's mind in related discussions. No one could discount, however, one factor -poverty. Some regions, particularly rural ones, even struggle for phone signals. The UK phone network's plans for a digita1 switchover could cut off people who rely on their landlines.

The solution is not simply to give devices to those without smart technology. While there's a need to provide affordable Internet access and technology, we need to recognize diversity in society. Services should provide non-digital selections that reflect equality. Local councils, healthcare providers and businesses should understand more about the diversity of consumers and develop services that meet the needs of all people. After all, access to and inclusion in society is a human right.

32. Why is the example of the elderly mentioned in paragraph 2?

A. To provide a proof.       B. To explain a fact.

C. To make a comparison.      D. To confirm a prediction.

33. Who is most easily ignored in terms of digital exclusion?

A. Those worrying about privacy issues.

B. Those trying to use technology less.

C. Those opposing digitalization in life.

D. Those failing to access smart technology.

34. What does the author suggest in the last paragraph?

A. Slowing the pace of the technological shift.

B. Asking for opinions from diverse consumers.

C. Improving access to the Internet and technology.

D. Offering services with online and offline options.

35. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?

A. Life sees two-edged effect from digitalization

B. Social barriers arise following technological shifts

C. Technology is excluding a significant minority

D. The digital divide grows into a common problem

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Almost all of my holidays were spent with my grandpa. My grandpa was a retired army officer and the years in the army had made him a very tough person, which helped him a lot in fighting with cancer for a long time. Silver and golden stars on his shoulders and medals on his chest in grandma's old photo albums reflected the marks of his distinguished service and numerous adventures. Grandpa had fine qualities and was a real personality. He was strict with his family, me included, as well as himself.

In our ancestral house there was a big pond as was common in bygone Bengali homes with lots of trees and bushes. Both my grandparents were fond of our so-called garden. One morning our new neighbor saw my grandpa planting two trees on both sides of our main gate, which still stand tall today. Across the street our new neighbor also got the same kind of tree and planted the trees exactly on both sides of his gate too.

My grandpa didn't often give enough amount of water to his plants and didn't always give his full attention to them, while our neighbor gave a lot of water to his plants and looked after them too well. My grandpa's plants were simple but looked good. But our neighbor's plants were much fuller and greener. Normally, during April and May, we have short but violent thunderstorms called “Kalboishakhi”. One late evening during a Kalboishakhi we had showers with strong winds, which continued right throughout that night. Next morning along with my grandparents I came out to inspect the damage to our garden. I saw our neighbor was there in his garden too, but looked upset as his plants were uprooted. But, our plants were not damaged and were standing firm on the ground.

注意：

1．续写词数应为150左右；

Seeing this, our neighbor was surprised and curious. ________________________________________________

Dear Eric,

I'm writing to invite you to take part in the speech contest to be held in our school.

The contest whose theme is “My dream of becoming a scientist” is scheduled to start in the school lecture hall next Friday afternoon. It's aimed at arousing students' interest in science and encouraging students to show their talents. Five professors will be invited to be judges and the first six winners will be given awards, some of which are artworks featuring traditional Chinese culture.

Come and join us! Looking forward to your early reply.

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua

参考范文：

Paragraph 1:

Seeing this, our neighbor was surprised and curious. He came up to my grandpa and asked with a touch of embarrassment, “How is this possible? I actually looked after my plants better.” My grandpa had his signature smile on and replied, “What you did spared the plants the need to work themselves hard for anything. I gave them just certain water and let their roots do the rest to search for more. And their roots went deeper, which made their position stronger. That is why they survived. ”

Paragraph 2:

Grandpa's explanations not only convinced the neighbor, but made me realize something. My grandpa was strict with me on many occasions with his do's and don'ts, and that drove me to be independent and work hard for what I wanted, which, however, I'd rarely noticed. I became aware that anything easily got can go off much more easily. Still after a rainy night when the sun is clear and bright the next morning it reminds me of my grandpa's words. The guidance has taken root in my mind and influences me all the way.

Our club was set up in 2002 and the aim of the club is to make our life greener, so every member of this club is supposed to take some action to protect our environment.

On Friday afternoon this week all members are supposed to plant trees in the nearest park. The next day, Alice, professor of environmental science, will give us a lecture. We may also visit a farm nearby next Sunday if the weather permits. Usually we have meetings on Mondays, but this week we'll have another one on Wednesday to discuss the arrangements in detail.
