It’s quite hard to make a list of the most beautiful cities to visit in Italy, as every city in Italy has its own look and unique atmosphere. However some of them are more popular than the others. And here is the list of them.
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.

Naples keeps much of its Baroque character and is a staring 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 food. 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 cooking capital of the country.

A robot called Bina48 has successfully taken a course in the philosophy of love at Notre Dame de Namur University (NDNU), in California.
According to course instructor William Barry associate professor at NDNU, Bina48 is the world's first socially advanced robot to complete a college course, an achievement he described as “remarkable." The robot took part in class discussions, gave a presentation with a student partner and participated in a debate with students from another institution.
Before becoming a student, Bina48 speared as a guest speaks in Barry's classes for several years. One day when addressing Barry's class, Bina48 expressed a desire to go to college, a desire that Barry and his students enthusiastically supported. Rather than enroll Bina48 in his Robot Ethics: Philosophy of Emerging Technologies course^ Barry suggested that Bina48 should take his course Philosophy of Love instead. Love is a concept Bina48 doesn't understand, said Barry Therefore the challenge would be for Barry and his students to teach Bina48 what love is.
"Some interesting things happened in the class," said Barry. He said that his students thought it would be straightforward to teach Bina48 about love, which, after all, is "fairly simple — it's a feeling," said Barry. But the reality was different. Bina48 ended up learning "31 different versions of love," said Barry, highlighting some of the challenges humans may face when working with artificial intelligence in future.
Bina48 participated in class discussions via Skype and also took part in a class debate about love and conflict with, students from West Point. Bina48's contribution to the debate was filmed and posted on YouTube. It was judged that Bma48 and NDNU classmates were the winners of this debate.
In the next decade, Barry hopes Bina48 might become complex enough to teach a class, though he says he foresees robots being used to better the teaching and learning experience, rather than replacing instructors completely。
4. What was Bina48's performance like in class?
A. Unattractive. B. Impractical.
C. Unbelievable. D. Extraordinary.
5. What does the underlined word "addressing" in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Giving a speech to. B. Consulting with.
C. Dealing with. D. Sending a letter to.
6. What can we learn from the passage?
A. It was impossible for Bina48 to learn about love.
B. It was quite difficult for Bina48 to learn about love,
C. Humans can launch, a challenge to artificial intelligence.
D. Artificial intelligence may somehow be superior to man.
7. What does Barry think of the future development of Bina48?
A. It will surely be able to serve as a teacher.
B. It will completely take the place of instructors.
C. It will be able to promote learning and teaching.
D. It will be smart enough to control human beings.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了机器人Bina48成功地完成爱的哲学这门课程。Bina48在未来有望能够促进学习和教学。
【详解】1.推理判断题。答案定位在第二段“Bina48 is the world’s first socially advanced robot to complete a college course, a feat he described as “remarkable.” The robot took part in class discussions, gave a presentation with a student partner and participated in a debate with students from another institution.”Bina48是世界上第一个完成大学课程的社交高级机器人,他称之为”非凡”机器人,参加了课堂讨论,与学生搭档做了演讲,并参加了与其他机构学生的辩论。可知,Bina48在课堂上参与讨论,与伙伴一起做报告,参与辩论,被描绘成为“卓越的”。因此推断出它的表现是非凡的。A. Unattractive. 不吸引人注意的;B. Impractical.不切实际的;C.Unbelievable 难以置信的;D.Extraordinary非凡的 ,故选D。
2.词义猜测题。根据第三段第一句“Before becoming a student, Bina48 appeared as a guest speaker in Barry’s classes for several years.”在成为一名学生之前,Bina48在Barry的课堂上担任客座演讲者好几年。可以推断出他经常进行演讲,故划线句句意是:一天当Bina48在Barry的课堂上演讲时,他表达了想要上大学的愿望,Barry和他的学生热情地支持他的这个愿望。故划线 词词义与A项“进行演讲”意义相近,故选A。
3.推理判断题。结合第四段中“Bina48 ended up learning “31 different versions of love,” said Barry, highlighting some of the challenges humans may face when working with artificial intelligence in future.”可知,Bina48最终学习了31种不同版本的爱,强调了人类未来可能会面临人工智能的挑战。因此可以推断出,人工智能可能在某种程度上优于人类,故选D。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段“In the next decade, Barry hopes Bina48 might become complex enough to teach a class, though he says he foresees robots being used to better the teaching and learning experience, rather than replacing instructors completely”可知Barry认为未来Bina48可能会变得足够复杂,可以教授课程,他预计机器人将被更好地用于教学和学习体验,而不是完全取代教师。因此推断出他认为Bina48在未来能够促进学习和教学,故选C。
C
Dogs have been humans’ best friends for thousands of years, and their ability to understand us goes more than just following orders. Dogs are really good at understanding how humans feel. They’ve learned to pick up on words and facial expressions from humans. A recent study has shown that dogs can actually smell human stress and respond (回应) to it in ways that suggest a close relationship with us humans. This interesting discovery throws light on how deeply close our lives have become with our dog friends.
So, can dogs really smell stress? The answer is yes! Researchers at the University of Bristol did a study where they found that dogs can sense stress through a chemical called cortisol (皮质醇) in our sweat (汗). This ability allows them to respond emotionally to human stress.
In the study, 18 dogs and their owners took part, along with 11 volunteers who didn’t know the dogs. These volunteers went through public speaking and took tests of solving difficult math problems without any preparation. Their worry made more cortisol appear in their sweat. When the dogs smelled this stressed sweat. they felt less curious and showed less interest in a food bowl in an uncertain position, as if they thought there was no food in those bowls. It seems that dogs can really feel the stress of humans and their own moods can be affected, too. This shows that humans and dogs have a very deep connection, where emotions can spread between us like a wave.
Then how did dogs develop such ability to sense stress? Well, it might be because sensing stress helped dogs survive in the past. If they could tell when another member of their group was worried and stressed, they knew they might be at risk. As Zoe Parr-Cortes, lead study author and a Ph. D. student at Bristol Veterinary School, said, “Being able to sense stress from another member of the pack was likely beneficial.”
8. What does the recent study tell us about dogs?
A. Their long history of development. B. Their various roles in human history.
C. Their ability to learn human language. D. Their deeper connection with humans.
9. What did the volunteers need to do in the study?
A. Calm dogs down. B. Test their own ability.
C. Experience stress. D. Collect their own sweat.
10. Why might dogs have developed the ability to sense stress?
A. To help them hunt for more food. B. To warn them of possible dangers.
C. To guide them to respond to human orders. D. To allow them to connect with their group.
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Dogs’ Unbelievable Ability to Sense Human Stress
B. The Development of the Human- Dog Relationship
C. Humans Sense Stress Through Their Beloved Dogs
D. Dogs’ Stress Having an Influence on Human Behavior
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究,研究表明,狗能通过人类汗液中的皮质醇感知人类的压力并对此做出反应。这进一步证明了人类与狗之间深厚的情感联系。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“A recent study has shown that dogs can actually smell human stress and respond (回应) to it in ways that suggest a close relationship with us humans. This interesting discovery throws light on how deeply close our lives have become with our dog friends.( 最近的一项研究表明,狗狗实际上可以闻到人类的压力,并以与人类关系密切的方式做出反应。这个有趣的发现揭示了我们与狗朋友的生活有多亲密。)”可知,最近的研究显示狗能闻到人类的压力并以与人类亲近的方式回应,这表明狗与人类之间有着更深的联系。因此,该研究告诉我们的是狗与人类之间的深层联系。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“These volunteers went through public speaking and took tests of solving difficult math problems without any preparation. Their worry made more cortisol appear in their sweat. When the dogs smelled this stressed sweat. they felt less curious and showed less interest in a food bowl in an uncertain position, as if they thought there was no food in those bowls. (这些志愿者在没有任何准备的情况下进行了公开演讲和解决数学难题的测试。他们的焦虑使他们的汗液中出现更多的皮质醇。当狗闻到这种压力时。他们对一个放在不确定位置的碗不那么好奇,也不那么感兴趣,就好像他们认为碗里没有食物一样。)”可知,在研究中,志愿者需要进行公开演讲和解决困难的数学问题的测试,这些都会让他们感到压力。因此,志愿者需要在研究中经历压力。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Well, it might be because sensing stress helped dogs survive in the past. If they could tell when another member of their group was worried and stressed, they knew they might be at risk.(嗯,这可能是因为感知压力在过去帮助狗生存了下来。如果他们能分辨出小组中的另一个成员何时感到担忧和压力,他们就知道自己可能处于危险之中。)”可知,狗可能发展出感知压力的能力是为了警告他们可能的危险。如果狗能够察觉到他们的群体中的另一个成员感到担心和压力,他们就知道自己可能处于危险之中。因此,狗发展出这种能力是为了保护自己。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“A recent study has shown that dogs can actually smell human stress and respond (回应) to it in ways that suggest a close relationship with us humans. This interesting discovery throws light on how deeply close our lives have become with our dog friends.( 最近的一项研究表明,狗狗实际上可以闻到人类的压力,并以与人类关系密切的方式做出反应。这个有趣的发现揭示了我们与狗朋友的生活有多亲密。)”以及通读全文可知,文章介绍了一项研究,研究表明,狗能通过人类汗液中的皮质醇感知人类的压力并对此做出反应即文章主要讲述了狗能够感知人类压力的能力。因此A选项“Dogs’ Unbelievable Ability to Sense Human Stress(狗不可思议的感知人类压力的能力)”能够概括文章的主要内容,符合标题。故选A。

Reading is to success what water is to fish. Apparently, every successful person develops a passion for reading. This is because reading is the key to get the information required to understand something. For example, lawyers have to study and learn every established law on their specific branches.

If you are going out, take a magazine, a book, an article or something to read.
There is a very important factor behind the reading---reading comprehension. It’s what makes you understand the meaning behind the text. Let’s assume that you read a document and you are supposed to explain the meaning of the document. How would you explain the document if you couldn’t capture (捕捉) the message of the author?

47. 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。
After filling out fifty applications, going through four interviews, and winning one offer, I took what I could get—a teaching job at what I considered a distant wild area: western New Jersey. My characteristic optimism was alive only when I reminded myself that I would be doing what I had wanted to do since I was fourteen—teaching English literature.
School started. I was teaching English literature. I worked hard, taking time off only to eat and sleep. And then there was my sixth-grade class who were only six years younger than me. I was struggling in my work as a young idealistic teacher. I wanted to make literature come alive and to promote a love for written word. But the students only threw spitballs (纸团) and whispered dirty words in the back of the classroom.
In my opinion, I had thought that a successful educator should ignore bad behavior. So I did, confident that the bad behavior would disappear as I gave my students perfect lecturing. But in fact, humans, particularly teenagers, rarely seem to be reasonable. By the time my boss, who was also my supervisor, known to be the strictest, most demanding, most quick to fire inexperienced teachers, came into the classroom to observe me, the students exhibited very little good behavior to praise.
My boss sat in the back of the classroom. The boys in the class were making animal noises, hitting each other while the girls filed their nails or read magazines. I just pretended it all wasn't happening and went on talking and tried to ask some inspiring questions. My boss, sitting in the back of the classroom, seemed to be growing bigger and bigger. After twenty minutes, he left silently. Visions of unemployment marched before my eyes. I felt mildly proud that I got through the rest of class without crying, but at my next free period, I knew I had to face him.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
After class, I walked to his office, took a deep breath and opened the door.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Inspired by his advice, I determined to make a change the very next day.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 After class, I walked to his office, took a deep breath and opened the door. My boss was sitting in his chair, gazing at me silently. I said nothing, wondering if he would fire me right away. He handed me an envelope, which added to my anxiety at that moment. However, my eyes were wide open when I opened it and read the letter. It was a letter with several suggestions about my teaching, one of which was highlighted in red: An educator should respect students’ feelings. Almost immediately, a surge of warmth rose inside me.
Inspired by his advice, I determined to make a change the very next day. As the bell rang, I stood on the platform. I cleared my throat and announced, “Boys and girls, let’s begin with what you think about my literature lesson.” Each student cast me a puzzled look. I encouraged, “Anything you’d like to say is welcomed!” At this, a ripple of excitement spread through the classroom. The literature class soon amazingly came to life thanks to their brilliant voices. It was at that time that I fully understood that respecting the students instead of ignoring them will make a difference.

It’s quite hard to make a list of the most beautiful cities to visit in Italy, as every city in Italy has its own look and unique atmosphere. However some of them are more popular than the others. And here is the list of them.
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.
Milan
Milan, one of Europe’s wealthiest cities, is known for stylish shops, galleries and restaurants 1t also has a rich artistic and cultural heritage. Its Gothic Duomo, with its beautiful marble facade (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.
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 keeps much of its Baroque character and is a staring 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 food. 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 cooking capital of the country.

A robot called Bina48 has successfully taken a course in the philosophy of love at Notre Dame de Namur University (NDNU), in California.
According to course instructor William Barry associate professor at NDNU, Bina48 is the world's first socially advanced robot to complete a college course, an achievement he described as “remarkable." The robot took part in class discussions, gave a presentation with a student partner and participated in a debate with students from another institution.
Before becoming a student, Bina48 speared as a guest speaks in Barry's classes for several years. One day when addressing Barry's class, Bina48 expressed a desire to go to college, a desire that Barry and his students enthusiastically supported. Rather than enroll Bina48 in his Robot Ethics: Philosophy of Emerging Technologies course^ Barry suggested that Bina48 should take his course Philosophy of Love instead. Love is a concept Bina48 doesn't understand, said Barry Therefore the challenge would be for Barry and his students to teach Bina48 what love is.
"Some interesting things happened in the class," said Barry. He said that his students thought it would be straightforward to teach Bina48 about love, which, after all, is "fairly simple — it's a feeling," said Barry. But the reality was different. Bina48 ended up learning "31 different versions of love," said Barry, highlighting some of the challenges humans may face when working with artificial intelligence in future.
Bina48 participated in class discussions via Skype and also took part in a class debate about love and conflict with, students from West Point. Bina48's contribution to the debate was filmed and posted on YouTube. It was judged that Bma48 and NDNU classmates were the winners of this debate.
In the next decade, Barry hopes Bina48 might become complex enough to teach a class, though he says he foresees robots being used to better the teaching and learning experience, rather than replacing instructors completely。
4. What was Bina48's performance like in class?
A. Unattractive. B. Impractical.
C. Unbelievable. D. Extraordinary.
5. What does the underlined word "addressing" in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Giving a speech to. B. Consulting with.
C. Dealing with. D. Sending a letter to.
6. What can we learn from the passage?
A. It was impossible for Bina48 to learn about love.
B. It was quite difficult for Bina48 to learn about love,
C. Humans can launch, a challenge to artificial intelligence.
D. Artificial intelligence may somehow be superior to man.
7. What does Barry think of the future development of Bina48?
A. It will surely be able to serve as a teacher.
B. It will completely take the place of instructors.
C. It will be able to promote learning and teaching.
D. It will be smart enough to control human beings.

Dogs have been humans’ best friends for thousands of years, and their ability to understand us goes more than just following orders. Dogs are really good at understanding how humans feel. They’ve learned to pick up on words and facial expressions from humans. A recent study has shown that dogs can actually smell human stress and respond (回应) to it in ways that suggest a close relationship with us humans. This interesting discovery throws light on how deeply close our lives have become with our dog friends.
So, can dogs really smell stress? The answer is yes! Researchers at the University of Bristol did a study where they found that dogs can sense stress through a chemical called cortisol (皮质醇) in our sweat (汗). This ability allows them to respond emotionally to human stress.
In the study, 18 dogs and their owners took part, along with 11 volunteers who didn’t know the dogs. These volunteers went through public speaking and took tests of solving difficult math problems without any preparation. Their worry made more cortisol appear in their sweat. When the dogs smelled this stressed sweat. they felt less curious and showed less interest in a food bowl in an uncertain position, as if they thought there was no food in those bowls. It seems that dogs can really feel the stress of humans and their own moods can be affected, too. This shows that humans and dogs have a very deep connection, where emotions can spread between us like a wave.
Then how did dogs develop such ability to sense stress? Well, it might be because sensing stress helped dogs survive in the past. If they could tell when another member of their group was worried and stressed, they knew they might be at risk. As Zoe Parr-Cortes, lead study author and a Ph. D. student at Bristol Veterinary School, said, “Being able to sense stress from another member of the pack was likely beneficial.”
8. What does the recent study tell us about dogs?
A. Their long history of development. B. Their various roles in human history.
C. Their ability to learn human language. D. Their deeper connection with humans.
9. What did the volunteers need to do in the study?
A. Calm dogs down. B. Test their own ability.
C. Experience stress. D. Collect their own sweat.
10. Why might dogs have developed the ability to sense stress?
A. To help them hunt for more food. B. To warn them of possible dangers.
C. To guide them to respond to human orders. D. To allow them to connect with their group.
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Dogs’ Unbelievable Ability to Sense Human Stress
B. The Development of the Human- Dog Relationship
C. Humans Sense Stress Through Their Beloved Dogs
D. Dogs’ Stress Having an Influence on Human Behavior
D
Reading is to success what water is to fish. Apparently, every successful person develops a passion for reading. This is because reading is the key to get the information required to understand something. For example, lawyers have to study and learn every established law on their specific branches. Sometimes the law changes according to people’ s needs. A good lawyer has to be informed about the latest news in the court. A doctor has to be informed of the latest advances in medicine.
Reading is very important for all mankind. Everything is relative in this world, especially reading. Reading can open many doors and it can lead you into a path of success. Studies have confirmed that reading to your unborn child is very good. This way your child will develop a passion for reading.
How do you develop a passion for reading? There is only one way you can boost your passion for reading. Let me explain this to you. If you want to learn how to ride a bike, you have to get on the bike as many times as possible until you have learned. It works the same way with reading. If you want to improve your reading, take a book and read it all the way through. When you finish reading your first book, take another book and do the same. Try to read as much as you can. If you are going out, take a magazine, a book, an article or something to read.
There is a very important factor behind the reading---reading comprehension. It’s what makes you understand the meaning behind the text. Let’s assume that you read a document and you are supposed to explain the meaning of the document. How would you explain the document if you couldn’t capture (捕捉) the message of the author?
12. The first paragraph mainly talk about________.
A. what reading comprehension is
B. how to find a book to read
C. we can get information from the Internet
D. the importance of reading
13. We can define reading comprehension as________.
A. a very important factor behind reading
B. something that makes people understand what they read
C. a strong passion for reading
D. the latest information in reading
14. The author develops the passage mainly by________.
A. comparing the opinions of different people
B. presenting stories
C. presenting opinions and giving examples
D. following the natural time order
15. What can you do to read more?
A. Take something to read when you are out.
B. Read at school.
C. Make friends with who love reading.
D. Visit some popular website.

47. 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。
After filling out fifty applications, going through four interviews, and winning one offer, I took what I could get—a teaching job at what I considered a distant wild area: western New Jersey. My characteristic optimism was alive only when I reminded myself that I would be doing what I had wanted to do since I was fourteen—teaching English literature.
School started. I was teaching English literature. I worked hard, taking time off only to eat and sleep. And then there was my sixth-grade class who were only six years younger than me. I was struggling in my work as a young idealistic teacher. I wanted to make literature come alive and to promote a love for written word. But the students only threw spitballs (纸团) and whispered dirty words in the back of the classroom.
In my opinion, I had thought that a successful educator should ignore bad behavior. So I did, confident that the bad behavior would disappear as I gave my students perfect lecturing. But in fact, humans, particularly teenagers, rarely seem to be reasonable. By the time my boss, who was also my supervisor, known to be the strictest, most demanding, most quick to fire inexperienced teachers, came into the classroom to observe me, the students exhibited very little good behavior to praise.
My boss sat in the back of the classroom. The boys in the class were making animal noises, hitting each other while the girls filed their nails or read magazines. I just pretended it all wasn't happening and went on talking and tried to ask some inspiring questions. My boss, sitting in the back of the classroom, seemed to be growing bigger and bigger. After twenty minutes, he left silently. Visions of unemployment marched before my eyes. I felt mildly proud that I got through the rest of class without crying, but at my next free period, I knew I had to face him.
