Rome can be pricey for travelers, which is why many choose to stay in a hostel (旅社). 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 (位置) 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.
Hostel Alessandro Palace
If you love social hostels, this is the best hostel for you in Rome. Hostel Alessandro Palace is fun. Staff members hold plenty of bar events for guests like free shots, bar crawls and karaoke. There’s also an area on the rooftop for hanging out with other travelers during the summer.
Youth Station Hostel
If you’re looking for cleanliness and a modern hostel, look no further than Youth Station. It offers beautiful furnishings and beds. There are plenty of other benefits, too; it doesn’t charge city tax; it has both air conditioning and a heater for the rooms; it also has free Wi-Fi in every room.
Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes
Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes is located just a 10-minute walk from the central city station and it’s close to all of the city’s main attractions. The staff is friendly and helpful, providing you with a map of the city when you arrive, and offering advice if you require some. However, you need to pay 2 euros a day for Wi-Fi.
1. What is probably the major concern of travelers who choose to stay in a hostel?
A Comfort. B. Security.
C. Price. D. Location.
2. Which hotel best suits people who enjoy an active social life?

Jenifer Mauer has needed more willpower than the typical college student to pursue her goal of earning a nursing degree. That willpower bore fruit when Jennifer graduated from University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and became the first in her large family to earn a bachelor's degree.
Mauer, of Edgar, Wisconsin, grew up on a farm in a family of 10 children. Her dad worked at a job away from the farm, and her mother ran the farm with the kids. After high school, Jennifer attended a local technical college, working to pay her tuition(学费), because there was no extra money set aside for a college education. After graduation, she worked to help her sisters and brothers pay for their schooling.
Jennifer now is married and has three children of her own. She decided to go back to college to advance her career and to be able to better support her family while doing something she loves: nursing. She chose the UW-Eau Claire program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield because she was able to pursue her four-year degree close to home. She could drive to class and be home in the evening to help with her kids. Jenifer received great support from her family as she worked to earn her degree: Her husband worked two jobs to cover the bills, and her 68-year-old mother helped take care of the children at times.
Through it all, she remained in good academic standing and graduated with honors. Jennifer sacrificed(牺牲)to achieve her goal, giving up many nights with her kids and missing important events to study. ''Some nights my heart was breaking to have to pick between my kids and studying for exams or papers,'' she says. However, her children have learned an important lesson witnessing their mother earn her degree. Jennifer is a first-generation graduate and an inspiration to her family-and that's pretty powerful.
4. What did Jennifer do after high school?
A. She helped her dad with his work.
B. She ran the family farm on her own.
C. She supported herself through college.
D. She taught her sisters and brothers at home.
5. Why did Jennifer choose the program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield?
A. To take care of her kids easily. B. To learn from the best nurses.
C. To save money for her parents. D. To find a well-paid job there.
6. What did Jennifer sacrifice to achieve her goal?
A. Her health. B. Her time with family.
C. Her reputation. D. Her chance of promotion.
7. What can we learn from Jenifer's story?
A. Time is money. B. Love breaks down barriers.
C. Hard work pays off. D. Education is the key to success.
C
If you have used Google lately and been lucky — or unlucky — enough to encounter an answer to your query (查询) rather than a bunch of links, you have been subjected to something called AI Overviews, a new core feature that Google has been rolling out.
What’s different about AI Overviews is that answers are not simply extracted (提取) from relevant sources but generated behind the scenes by Google’s generative AI technology. The goal of AI Overviews is to give you a personalized, on-demand answer instead of a standard set of documents matching your query. But there’s more to the picture.
People’s searching needs don’t end with factual information. They look for ideas, opinions and advice. Looking for suggestions about how to keep the cheese from sliding off (滑落) your pizza? Google will tell you that you should add some glue (胶水) to the sauce (酱 汁). While a reasonable user can understand that such shocking answers are likely to be wrong, it’s hard to detect that for factual questions. Google has acknowledged issues with AI Overviews and said it has addressed them. But the concern remains: Can you really trust any answers you receive through this service?
There are alternatives. You can always go back to the traditional Google search with its 10 blue links. You can then do what you have likely done for decades now — sift through some of the top results, visit a few of those sites and decide for yourself. It does take a little work, but it gives you back the ability to examine multiple sites and evidence to support or disprove something. More importantly, you leave open the possibilities for learning and discovery.
AI Overviews is like fast food that gets delivered through a drive-through window (免下车取餐窗口) — it’s quick, hot and convenient, but not the healthiest choice, that is, at the cost of nutrition. Perhaps you can’t afford to eat out at a nice restaurant every time, but it’s important to avoid ending up going through a drive — through for all your nutrition. After all, you are what you eat and similarly, you are how you search.
8. What is a feature of AI Overviews?
A. It simply extract answers from relevant sources
B. It provides individualized, on-demand answers.
C. It produces a standard set of documents.
D. It provides you with a bunch of links
9. What does the author indicate by mentioning “cheese” and “pizza”?
A. Cheese is an important ingredient (成分) of pizza.
B. People’s needs end up with factual information.
C. AI Overviews deals with factual information well.
D. AI Overviews sometimes offer unreasonable responses.
10. What does the underlined phrase “sift through” probably mean in paragraph 4?
A. Look and sort through. B. Wait for. C. Predict. D. Summarize.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. AI Overviews:A Reliable Source for Query
B. AI Overviews: The End of Traditional Search Engines
C. AI Overviews: Convenience at the Cost of Nutrition
D. AI Overviews: The Future of Learning and Discovery
D
The first chemical reactions in the wake of the Big Bang have been recreated for the first time in conditions similar to those in the baby Universe.
A team of physicists from the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Germany has remade the reactions of HeH⁺ a molecule made from a helium (氦) atom mixing with an hydrogen atom, which explains some of the earliest processes that gave rise to the Universe as we know it today.
Some 13.8 billion years ago , the birth pain of the Universe produced a hot soup of fundamental particles (粒子) . It took about 380,000 years for atoms to concentrate into the very first elements, about 75 percent of which were hydrogen. Hydrogen continues to dominate the Universe’s ingredient list today. None of that, however, could happen without HeH⁺, a molecule that scientists believe played a huge role in cooling the Universe enough so that the molecular clouds could form the seeds of baby stars. HeH⁺ paved the way for the formation of the first stars.
The researchers carefully studied interactions between HeH⁺ and a hydrogen atom with one extra neutron (中子) in it, known as deuterium (氘). They changed the temperature to see if temperature played a role in the reaction rate. It did not. The rate at which the reaction took place remained steady, regardless of the temperature — suggesting that the role HeH⁺ played in the early Universe did not decline as cooling unfolded, and that its role in the formation of the first generation of stars was a significant one.
“Previous theories predicted a significant decrease in the reaction probability at low temperatures, but we were unable to prove this,” physicist Holger Kreckel explains. “The reactions of HeH⁺ with neutral hydrogen and deuterium therefore appear to have been far more important for chemistry in the early Universe than previously assumed.”
12. What role did HeH⁺ play in the Universe?
A. Cooling baby stars. B. Mixing a soup of atoms.
C. Lowering the temperature. D. Forming earliest deuterium.
13. What did the researchers find out about HeH⁺?
A. It becomes less effective at a lower temperature.
B. Temperature has little effect on its reaction rates.
C. Temperature is the key factor to its steady reaction.
D. It can interact with deuterium faster than hydrogen.
14. Why does the author quote physicist Holger Kreckel?
A. To prove assumptions wrong.
B. To criticize the new experiment.
C. To confirm previous theories.
D. To stress HeH⁺’s unexpected worth.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Formation of Early Stars. B. Deuterium’s Importance.
C. The Recreation of First Chemistry. D. New Big Bang’s Particles.

Gina walked her way towards the school building. Her stomach fluttered (照动) with butterflies. It was not just any day. It was her first day in a new school in a new town, and the sense of starting over was enormous. She looked back to wave goodbye to her parents, who responded with thumbs-up and encouraging smiles. If they only knew how nervous she was.
Back in her old school, Gina had a solid circle of friends who had been with her since kindergarten. They had experienced countless adventures together, shared secrets, and supported each other through every challenge. Even when Gina got braces (牙套), her friends never made her feel embarrassed about it. However, all those comforting memories were now part of a closed chapter. As Gina stood before the impressive doors of her new school, she realized she was on the edge of a new chapter in her life.
Inside, the students in Gina’s class seemed welcoming and friendly. They smiled and offered greetings, making an effort to include her. Despite their kindness, Gina found herself smiling less and less due to her lack of confidence in her appearance. She was constantly worried that she couldn’t fit into the new group.
Now it was the gym class. The coach announced they would be playing volleyball.
“Gina,” the coach called out, “you’re playing libero (自由人) today, okay? The libero in volleyball is a player who specializes in defense and moves around the court quickly and freely to pass the ball.
“Sure thing!” Gina replied. She put on her sports shirt and took her position, focusing on the area near the back of the court. She scanned the court and looked over to the position where her teammate was preparing to serve (发球).

Sports Fun: Try It!
For the upcoming school sports festival, I highly recommend table tennis. Not only does it significantly enhance our hand-eye coordination, reaction speed, and concentration, but it also serves as an excellent means for us to engage in physical activity and maintain good health.
It is quite workable for the school sports festival, considering that there are many ping-pong tables available on campus. Moreover, table tennis is suitable for players of all skill levels and many students show great interest in it.
I firmly believe that table tennis would be an excellent option, bringing substantial benefits to the students.

【47题答案】
【答案】As the volleyball game began, Gina felt her anxiety increase. Each time the ball came her way, her hands trembled a bit and her heart raced-not just from the game, but also from the fear of being judged by her teammates. Despite her efforts to concentrate, her first few passes were unsteady and she could sense some teammates’ looks of concern. However, the coach, noticing her discomfort, walked over and offered a reassuring smile. “Gina, it’s how you play the next ball that counts. You’ve got this!” His words, simple yet sincere, struck a note in Gina. She felt her doubts about fitting in start to melt away.
The game continued, and with the coach’s encouragement ringing in her mind, Gina felt a newfound confidence. When the next serve came her way, she was ready.
