Rome can be pricey for travelers, which is why many choose to stay in a hostel. The hostels in Rome offer a bed in a dorm room for around $25 a night, and for that, you'll often get to stay in a central location with security and comfort.

Yellow Hostel

If I had to make just one recommendation for where to stay in Rome, it would be Yellow Hostel. It's one of the best-rated hostels in the city, and for good reason. It's affordable, and it's got a fun atmosphere without being too noisy. As an added bonus, it's close to the main train station.

By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova –not as a musician but as her page turner. "I'm not a trained musician, but I've learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance."

Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group's official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn't have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.

"A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don't turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot." Mr Titterton explained.

Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of "nodding" to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.

But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. "I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand,"Mr Titterton said, "Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back."

Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage.

"My husband is the worst page turner," she laughed. "He's interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: 'Turn, turn!' "Robert is the best page turner I've had in my entire life."

24. What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner?

A. Read music.  B. Play the piano.

C. Sing songs.  D. Fix the instruments.

25. Which of the following best describes Titterton's job on stage?

A. Boring. B. Well-paid. C. Demanding D. Dangerous.

26. What does Titterton need to practise?

A. Counting the pages.  B. Recognizing the "nodding".

C. Catching falling objects. D. Performing in his own style.

27. Why is Ms Raspopova's husband "the worst page turner"?

A. He has very poor eyesight. B. He ignores the audience.

C. He has no interest in music. D. He forgets to do his job.

C

Most people are familiar with hoarding (囤积) and the psychological issues associated with it. Hoarding leads to messy homes and difficulty parting with items that you don't use and don't even need. But hoarding can also occur in the digital world.

Digital hoarding, also known as e-hoarding, is too much acquisition and reluctance (不情愿) to delete electronic material no longer valuable to the user. Most computer users save digital files to some extent, and that's expected. With digital hoarding, however, the act of saving the files becomes an uncontrollable urge. Digital hoarders may collect emails, photos, articles; podcasts, or any type of computer files they believe they may want to revisit in the future, and ultimately, in most cases, they rarely get to actually use it or listen to it or read it.

Digital hoarding also occurs when someone is too attached to the data even to consider getting rid of it. This can include chats and photos of an old partner, texts sent by a long-lost friend, or even screenshots collected several years ago.

Researchers have categorized digital hoarders into 4 different types, according to their characteristics. "Collectors" are organized, systematic and in control of their data. "Accidental hoarders" are disorganized, don't know what they have, and don't have control over it. The "compliant hoarder" keeps data on behalf of their company. Finally, "anxious hoarders" have strong emotional ties to their data-and are worried about deleting it.

The problem has only gotten worse since we have more access to digital storage than ever. In addition, cloud storage makes it incredibly easy to purchase more storage as needed. With infinite cloud space, it's logical when network users don't think twice about saving files.

However, studies found that digital hoarders experience increased levels of stress and now researchers are observing that the negative consequences of digital hoarding may be similar to those physical hoarding. Therefore, it's important to set time aside to have a good clear-out in the same way we do in the physical world. By organizing and getting rid of useless files in a regular way, people with this problem can ease some of their distress and clear their own mind as well.

28. A digital hoarder tends to _____________.

A. have psychological problems

B. be unwilling to remove e-documents

C. revisit what they've stored frequently

D. have an urge to dispose of the data

29. Which of the following belongs to an accidental hoarder?

A. Mike arranges all work and business-related data scientifically.

B. Tom is resistant to deleting anything about his ex-girlfriend.

C. Antony keeps the financial data of his company orderly.

D. Lauren's camera roll is largely taken up by throwaway selfies.

30. What contributes to a network user saving more e-material?

A. Easy access to limitless cloud storage.

B. Decreasing cost of digital storage.

C. Increasing stress from the loss of data.

D. Difficulty in recovering data.

31. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. Stress can't be avoided for a digital hoarder.

B. It's unnecessary to part with useless items at home.

C. Time should be set aside to clean rooms regularly.

D. E-files had better be cleared out on a regular basis.

D

Jennifer Brophy, a professor of Stanford, is working on methods that she hopes will be used to improve commercial plant species so that they can survive harsh conditions. Initially, she studied green architecture in her undergraduate years. Once she started taking architecture classes, she realized it wasn't her passion—but when she encountered an article about a company that creates biofuels (生物燃料) from bacteria, something clicked. "I thought that was just the coolest thing. It got me really interested in pursuing bioengineering," she says.

Today, Brophy is developing new genetic engineering techniques that can help plants grow in various conditions. By changing the genome (基因组) of both commercial crops and soil bacteria, she thinks it's possible to help plants survive droughts.

Brophy is building what she calls "genetic circuits". Besides changing the genes within plant cells, this method also changes how and when those genes are triggered. If the plant senses a specific sugar, it can express one protein; if it senses another signal, it'll express a different protein. If both signals are there, the plant may be able to express something else entirely. "Using circuits to all these different inputs," she says.

"A plant doesn't necessarily know what's coming. It just knows whether it's hot or temperate (温和的) right now," says Brophy. This can lead to problems when weather becomes erratic. A plant that usually flowers in spring may flower in winter if there're a few unseasonably warm days. When temperatures fall again, the flowers die, which ruins a year of crops. "It'd be great to be able to communicate with plants to tell them, 'Hey, you should wait on that flowering, " she adds.

Brophy is still testing the concept in the lab using a small weedy plant called Arabidopsis. She notes engineering crops in the future may also involve genetically modifying soil bacteria. As the bacteria's surroundings change, they could potentially send out chemical signals that tell nearby plants to shift their growth accordingly. Brophy thinks engineering crops could benefit farmers and society at large.

32. What made Brophy interested in bioengineering?

A. Her undergraduate education. B. Her visit to a company.

C. Her exposure to a related article. D. Her curiosity about biofuels.

33. The method of "genetic circuits" is designed to _____________.

A. create better biofuels from soil bacteria

B. monitor the proteins within plant cells

C. preserve species of commercial crops

D. promote plants to respond to surroundings

34. What does the underlined word "erratic" mean in Paragraph 4?

A. Unpleasant. B. Unstable. C. Unbearable. D. Unaffected.

35. What is the best title of the passage?

A. Jennifer Brophy, a brilliant bioengineering scientist.

B. Climate change, a tough problem around the world.

C. Genetic circuits, a smart method to help crops survive.

D. Genetic engineering, a new technique to produce crops.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

How to Write a Good Ending to a Story

Stories present an event or series of events and have a beginning, middle, and end.    36    To write a good ending for your story, there are at least four methods to show the reader why your story is important.

Deciding the End

   37    The middle will include rising tension and your characters' reactions to the conflict. Most story conflicts will either be person vs. nature, person vs. society, or person vs. themselves. Your final scene should resolve this conflict, whether your characters get what they want or not.

Explaining the Journey

Reflect on the significance of all the events. What themes, ideas, or arguments are you trying to portray through them? You don't want to tell your reader directly, but you need to show them.    38   —where the reader follows the events flowing in turn—will help you create an ending that makes sense based on what has happened earlier.

Using Action and Images

Use action to show (not tell) what is important. We know that stories full of action, whether written or visual, appeal to all ages. Build your ending with description and sensory images, for sensory details connect us emotionally to the story. Highlight a theme.    39  

Following Logic

Sometimes when we get too excited (or too frustrated) about a story we're writing, we can forget that events and behaviors tend to follow logic.    40    Most topics—if pursued through logic—will invite your readers into deeper thinking.

A. First, identify the parts of your story.

B. Taking a journey to seek inspirations

C. Thinking about your story as a journey

D. Your story will have a beginning to introduce characters and setting.

E. A good story ending often creates a significant impact on the reader.

F. Actually, a good ending just records what would logically happen in a situation.

G. Focusing on a specific subject through images and actions can help you create a structure unique to your story.

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。

A little girl whose parents had died lived with her grandmother and slept in an upstairs bedroom.

One night there was a fire in the house and the grandmother died while trying to rescue the child. The fire spread quickly, and the first floor of the house was soon engulfed(吞没) in flames.

Neighbors called the fire department, then stood helplessly by, unable to enter the house because flames blocked all the entrances. The little girl appeared at an upstairs window, crying for help, just as word spread among the crowd that the firefighters would be delayed a few minutes because they were all at another fire.

Suddenly, a man appeared with a ladder, put it up against the side of the house and disappeared inside. His actions showed no sign of hesitation or fear. When he reappeared, he had the little girl in his arms. He delivered the child to the waiting arms below, then disappeared into the night without leaving a trace behind.

An investigation revealed that the child had no living relatives, and weeks later a meeting was held in the town hall to determine who would take the child into their home and bring her up.

A teacher said she would like to raise the child. She pointed out that she could ensure her a good education. A farmer offered her an upbringing on his farm. He pointed out that living on a farm was healthy and satisfying. Others spoke, giving their reasons why it was to the child's advantage to live with them.

Finally, the town's richest resident rose and said, "I can give this child all the advantages that you have mentioned here, plus money and everything that money can buy."

Throughout all this, the child remained silent, her eyes on the floor. It seemed that nothing could stir her from grief and loss of all those loved ones. "Does anyone else want to speak?" asked the meeting chairman.

Dear Sir/Madam,

On 3rd February, 2023, I flew business class on your flight FL753 from China to London. I am writing to report the loss of my wallet.

I clearly remember it was with me immediately I boarded the plane. However, on arrival in London Heathrow Airport, I found it gone. I guess it must have slipped out of my pocket during the flight. It is a black leather one with around 200 pounds, my ID card, and 2 credit cards in it. Along with the items mentioned above, the wallet contains a family photo, my precious memory. As you can imagine, these matter a lot to me. Has anybody happened to find it? Please email me at lihua2000@googlemail.com.

Thank you for your time and support.

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua

第二节

A strange man came forward from the back of the hall. He walked slowly and appeared to be in great pain. When he got to the front of the room, he stood directly in front of the little girl. Standing there for long enough, he said nothing but just held out his arms. His hands and arms were terribly scarred. The crowd uttered various opinions. Whereas no one spoke for the scarred man. The meeting chairman quieted everybody down and asked, "Tell us, little girl, will you go with this man and be his daughter?"

All eyes turned to the girl in disapproval. She looks up at him, her eyes brilliant with unwept tears. She rubbed her face and cried out, "This is the man who rescued me!" With a leap, she threw her arms around the man's neck burying her face in his shoulder. She sobbed for a few moments, and then determinedly nodded a very big "yes" to the meeting chairman with a wide smile. All the people sincerely congratulated the girl's choice, for they all understand that actions speak louder than words.
