Top Cities to Visit in Italy
Venice
Venice, a unique city built over the water, is one of Italy's most beautiful and romantic cities. The . heart of Venice is Piazza San Marco with its magnificent church, Saint Mark’s Basilica. Wandering along Venice’s canals and getting lost in its narrow streets must be
appealing. Venice is in the northeast of Italy and historically was a bridge between East and West-- its architecture preserves a Byzantine feel which is not really found elsewhere in Italy.
Milan
Milan, one of Europe’s wealthiest cities, is known for stylish shops, galleries, and restaurants. It also has a rich artistic and cultural heritage. Its Gothic Duomo, with its beautiful marble façade(大理石外墙), is magnificent. Da Vinci’s painting The Last Supper, which is in Santa Maria Delle Grazie, is one of Milan's top attractions. La Scala is one of the world's most famous opera houses.
Naples
Naples is one of Italy's most lively cities. It lies on the coast south of Rome and is the most important city in southern Italy. Naples preserves much of its Baroque character and is a starting point for trips to Pompeii, Herculaneum, and the Amalfi Coast. It holds many historical and artistic treasures, and is famous for its pizza and desserts!
Bologna
Bologna is known for its beauty, wealth and cuisine. Its flat streets are lined with arcades(拱廊),making it a good walking city in every kind of weather. Bologna is the biggest city in northern Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region and its Piazza Maggiore is one of the biggest squares in Europe. Even among Italians, it's considered the culinary(烹饪的) capital of the country.
21. How does Venice differ from other cities in Italy?

It is a wind y day. Glenn Gould has got a coffee cup sitting on the piano top and is working on a music written by Bach. As he plays, he gets so totally lost in the music that suddenly, he stands up, and walks in what looks like a dream to the window.
There's a total silence. Then the Bach flows out of him. He's still playing, but in his head. Then he turns, wanders back, sits down on a low chair in front of the piano and picks up right where his voice left off, but now with new energy.
Gould, the greatest interpreter of Bach, is a strange man. He doesn't like to practise. Instead, he'll prepare for concerts mentally, running the piece over and over and playing with imaginary fingers.
Gould, for some reasons, reminds me of Michael Jordan playing basketball or Etta James singing the blues: There's a concentration that's so deep that it feels special, like a kind of “flow”.
“When you are in it, you lose track of everything except what you're doing, ”writes neuroscientist Daniel Levitin. “There was a surgeon, who wasn't aware that the roof of his operating room had collapsed until he was done with the surgery. In this state, what you think becomes what you do. You get blissfully lost in an activity, forgetting time, yourselves and your problems.”
How does one get there? That's still a mystery. Practice is important. Strong will matters. Talent helps. When you find your “flow”, your brain changes. Sex, hunger and thirst matter less. You are chemically released and can now wander far and wide. Yes, you have no idea where you are or how this is happening. But once you you’re your “flow”, it’s one of the most wonderful experiences ever.
When I watch Glenn Gould walking back to his piano, I see a man living in heaven, if there is one.
24. How does Glenn Gould usually prepare for concerts?
A. By drinking coffee to get more energy. B. By running the pieces in his head first.
C. By practicing over and over on the piano. D. By doing exercise in his sweet dreams.
25. Which of the following best describes being in the state of “flow”?
A. Encouraged. B. Worried. C. Absorbed. D. Absent-minded.
26. What does the underlined word “blissfully” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Happily. B. Occasionally. C. Unnecessarily. D. Hardly.
27. What is less likely to help us find our “flow”?
A. Practice. B. Will. C. Talent. D. Desire.
C
Over the course of more than 250 years, the US Postal Service has gone through many changes, including switching its focus from newspapers to package delivery service.
In the early 1830s, the Postal Service focused on delivering newspapers to keep Americans informed and connected. To keep newspaper subscriptions cheap and accessible, the Postal Service charged high prices for letter postage—as much as a full-day’s wages. In order to help the expansion of the passenger transportation network in the new nation, the agency often shared the letter delivery with stagecoach lines. Later, it did the same for private steamboats and railroads, even airlines.
But the competition for the letter delivery became so fierce that a wave of laws between1845 and 1851 made the Postal Service the only letter-carrier and set aside an annual budget to support the agency. Helped by lowered rates, letters soon became the agency's main business.
In 1863, the Postal Service began to experiment with home delivery, instead of just carrying letters from post office to post office. By the dawn of the 20th century, even remote farmers’ letters were dropped into their mailboxes. Since then, home delivery has become a “universal public service(UPS)”that every American deserves to receive at a low price.
By the early 20th century, the Postal Service had set a four-pound limit on mail: Anything heavier was supposed to be left to private companies. But the four largest private carriers secretly cooperated to charge confusing and often terribly high rates. In 1913, the Postal Service eventually took the parcel(包裹) service away from the private carriers.
Now the :Postal Service’s only growing business is package delivery fed by the online-shopping addictions. Since it is required by law to visit every household six days a week, the PostálService now offers cheap rates to private companies like Amazon and FedEx to deliver their goods to our doorsteps. However, most Americans think that it is unfair to use taxpayers’ money to help such big private companies to deliver their goods.
28. What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A. Letter delivery was once a very profitable business.
B. The US was well connected by airlines in the 1820s.
C. The Postal Service charged high prices for newspapers.
D. In the 1830s, Americans had free access to newspapers.
29. What was the Postal Service’s main business in the 1850s?
A. Goods transportation. B. Letter delivery.
C. Newspaper subscriptions. D. Parcel services.
30. Why is it unfair for private companies to use the Postal Service to deliver their goods?
A. The private companies often charge terribly high rates.
B. The online-shoppers cannot receive their parcels on time.
C. The Postal Service usually leaves parcels in the local post offices.
D. The “UPS” is originally designed for non-commercial home delivery.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Problems of the US Postal Service
B. The Postal Service’s Roles in the US History
C. A Brief History of the US Postal Service
D. The Main Functions of the US Postal Service

A satellite ı s best understood as an object that has only one force acting on it—gravity. Technically speaking, anything that crosses the Karman Line at an altitude of 100kmis considered a satellite in space.
However, a satellite needs to be going fast—at least 8km a second to avoid falling back down to the earth immediately. If a satellite is traveling fast enough, it will constantly “fall” toward the ball-shaped earth. It means that the satellite will fall around the earth instead of crashing back on the surface.
Here are several accepted orbits around the earth. One is called low-earth-orbit, which extends from about 160 to 2,000km. This is the orbit where the International Space Station and the Chinese Space Station orbit and where the spaceships usually do their work. In fact, all human missions, except for the Apollo and Chang'e flights to the moon, took place in this orbit. Most satellites also work in this orbit.
Geosynchronous(与地球同步的) orbit is the best spot for communication satellites to use, however. This is an orbit above the earth's equator(赤道) at an altitude of 35,786km. At this altitude, the rate of “fall” around the earth is about the same as the earth's rotation(自转), which allows the satellite to stay above the same spot on the earth almost constantly. The satellite thus keeps permanent connections with towers on the ground and allows for reliable communication.
While some satellites are best used around the equator, others are better suited to more polar orbits. Examples of polar-orbiting satellites include weather satellites, resource satellites and military satellites. Polar-orbiting satellites are necessary because they can help scientists compare images from the same season over several years and monitor changes over time.
32. What keeps a satellite from falling to the earth?
A. Its rotation. B. Its orbit. C. Its speed. D. Its height.
33. What can we say about the Chinese Space Station?
A. It can be considered a satellite. B. It is below the Karman Line.
C. It is circling the earth at 7km/s. D. It has escaped the force of gravity.
34. Which satellites are more suitable for Geosynchronous orbit?
A. Weather satellites. B. Military satellites.
C. Resource satellites. D. Communication satellites.
35. What is the advantage of a polar-orbiting satellite?
A. Gathering necessary equator data. B. Comparing seasonal changes.
C. Providing precise weather forecast. D. Providing better telephone signals.

Four ways to make exercise feel as fun as a game
Have an objective
When you're playing a game, there's always an objective. It helps you focus on the task at hand and motivates you to keep playing until you win the game. Exercise should be no different. Create a clear fitness goal. 36 ,
In order to see your progress and whether you've achieved your objective, it helps to track your physical activity. 37 , for example, you might just put down how long you have spent working out in a notebook.
38
Research suggests that adding an element of competition to your exercise routine can actually help you work out harder. If you're seeking a similar motivation, look into fitness programs that encourage friendly competition against other teams in a virtual world. They track your scores and progress against your friends on a board.
Team up with friends
Getting a group of friends to work together toward a common goal is also an effective way to increase physical activity. 39 . No one wants to let down each other. So grab a close friend or family member and bring them to the gym with you.
Add an element of unpredictability
40 . Introduce some of this characteristic into your own workouts. For example, try to take photos of at least 5 different flowers on your neighborhood walk. Beat your personal record in a trail run. Such challenges will bring back a sense of childlike wonder.
A. Compete against others
B. Play against a friend to get competitive
C. People love video games because there's a lot of surprise
D. If exercise, even for a few minutes, makes you feel slightly happy
E. In a group, friends tend to encourage each other to try to meet their goal
F. If your goal is to do something physically active at least 150 minutes a week
G. Aim to walk 10,000 steps a day, for example, or try to run 6 miles every week

Driving here in the mountains can be a challenge in the summertime. The holes and stones in the road make it a 41 ride. The low hanging trees, full of green leaves, 42 your view. And you always have to be on the lookout for dogs, cats and deer 43 the road.
I saw an incredibly 44 sight here just the other day. As I was 45 along, I saw a baby deer lying dead along the side of the road.. Its white spots were still on it. It was so heart-breaking to see it like that and I 46 in case more deer were coming down the mountains to drink from the 47 that ra n alongside the highway. When I 48 another curve(拐弯处),felt a(n) 49 inside my heart and. a voice inside my mind, saying “Slow down, more!”
I 50 my speed again.
Suddenly two adult deer leaped across the road. I 51 on the brakes until I came to a complete 52 , and just as I stopped, two baby deer appeared from the woods after their parents. I 53 them pass and felt 54 that I hadn’t hit those baby deer. Then I 55 and thanked myself for having listened to that 56 in my heart and mind.
So many times I have 57 a whispered urging in my heart to say something 58 or to help someone in need.

Hi, everyone! I'm glad to stand here to talk about how we can do for our school. We all know that a small act is going to makes a big difference. First of all, we can easily make our school more beautifully. For example, every one of them can take care of a tree or to organize to turn off the lights when we leave the classrooms. Don't leave the water run or waste any food while we are eating in the dining rooms. If we can do so, I believe we'll turn our school into much better place!

本文是一篇说明文。文章简要介绍了美国邮政的发展历程。
28. A 推理判断题。 根据第二段“To keep newspaper subscriptions cheap and accessible, the Postal Service charged high prices for letter postage—as much as a full-day’s wages. In order to help the expansion of the passenger transportation network in the new nation, the agency often shared the letter delivery with stagecoach lines.”可推断,当时的邮件投递业务应该很赚钱。

This is the orbit where the International Space Station and the Chinese Space Station orbit and where the spaceships usually do their work.”可推断,中国空间站可以被看作是一颗卫星。
34. D 细节理解题。根据第四段“Geosynchronous(与地球同步的) orbit is the best spot for communication satellites to use, however.”可知答案。
35. B 细节理解题。 根据最后一段“Polar-orbiting satellites are necessary because they can help scientists compare images from the same season over several years and monitor changes over time.”可知,这些极地轨道卫星有助于对比分析不同季节的历史数据。

本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了苏州园林的历史、创意来源及意蕴等。
61. was founded 考查动词的时态和语态。根据时间状语 the 6th century BC 可知,此处用一般过去时,又因为city与found 之间存在逻辑上的动宾关系，故用被动语态。
62. built 考查非谓语动词。分析该句成分可知，所填词在此处作后置定语，修饰 gardens。而且gardens与build之间存在逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词 built。
63. gardens 考查名词复数。garden为可数名词，根据下文可知，私家园林数量众多，故此处用所给名词的复数形式。
64. in 考查介词。in existence意为“存在”,为固定短语。
65. finest 考查形容词最高级。根据空前的 nine of which 可知,在所有的园林中,这九座是最好的。
66. originally 考查词形转换。分析该句成分可知，所填词在此处修饰过去分词seen，作状语，故用所给形容词的副词形式 originally。
67. cultural 考查词形转换。分析该句成分可知，所填词在此处作 meanings的定语，故用所给名词的形容词形式 cultural。
68. to be 考查非谓语动词。be intended to do意为“意在做某事”,为固定搭配。
69. that/which 考查定语从句。分析该句结构可知，空项引导的是一个限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，且先行词为 designs,故用关系代词 that 或 which。
70. the 考查冠词。development 后面有介词短语作修饰,表示特指,故与定冠词 the连用。

Dear Caroline,
My name is Li Hua, a student from Class One. I am writing to seek your guidance in setting up an English corner in our class. To improve our English speaking skills, a group of classmates and I have decided to establish an English corner within our classroom. However, we lack relevant experience.
We wonder if you could offer us some suggestions on topics, games, and interactive activities that encourage active participation from everyone. Any insights or resources you could provide would be incredibly helpful.
We look forward to hearing from you soon and are grateful for your support.
Yours sincerely,
