Where to Eat in Rome Like a Local
In Rome, travelers often eat at popular restaurants that offer English menus. But if you want to experience the real taste of the city, follow the locals and find great food in quieter corners.
Santo Palato
Since opening in 2017, Santo Palato has been known for both classic Roman dishes and creative new ones. In March, it moved from a small place in San Giovanni to a bigger one in Porta Metronia, with a modern design that includes bright-orange walls and a glass-walled kitchen. Despite its new look, the easy, old-school feel is still there, with wooden chairs and comfortable tables.
Retrobotega
With its open kitchen, it’s one of the most exciting dining places in the city. The menu includes both classic dishes and creative ones. With over 90 wines (葡萄酒)available by the glass, it’s a great place for wine lovers. For a more relaxed experience, head to retrovino, the restaurant’s wine bar.
Enoteca L’ Antidoto
Hidden in a quiet street in Tastevere, this small wine bar offers just 16 seats. Inside, guests enjoy a relaxed atmosphere (氛围) with soft music. The young chef, Mirko Pelosi, creates a menu of small, creative plates inspired by Italian and other dishes. The wine list focuses on natural wines. And don’t miss the smoked fish, which pairs perfectly with the wines.
Fischio
Next to an old funfair, Fischio is a laid-back bar which serves some of the best coffee in Rome. It’s a favorite place for locals, offering a mix of a café and a neighborhood hangout. Spend the afternoon over a cup of coffee. It’s a great place to unwind and enjoy the Roman life.
1. What is special about Santos Palato?
A. It moves repeatedly. B. It has an old-school style.
C. It is crowded in March. D. It serves hard-to-find wines.
2. What are tourists advised to do at Enoteca L’ Antidoto?
A. Watch a music show. B. Buy the fresh seafood.
C. Try the smoked fish. D. Pick some local grapes.
3. Where will you go if you want to taste great coffee in Rome?
A. Fischio. B. Santos Palato. C. retrobotega. D. Enoteca L’ Antidoto.
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四家深受罗马本地人钟爱的餐吧。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Santo Palato部分最后一句“Despite its new look, the easy, old-school feel is still there, with wooden chairs and comfortable tables.(尽管外观焕然一新,但那种轻松的复古氛围依然存在,店里摆放着木椅和舒适的桌子。)”可知,Santo Palato的特别之处在于保留了复古风格。故选B项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Enoteca L’ Antidoto部分最后一句“And don’t miss the smoked fish, which pairs perfectly with the wines.(别忘了尝尝烟熏鱼,它与葡萄酒搭配得非常完美。)”可知,游客在这家店被建议尝试烟熏鱼。故选C项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Fischio部分第一句“Next to an old funfair, Fischio is a laid-back bar which serves some of the best coffee in Rome.(在一个古老的露天游乐场旁边,Fischio是一家悠闲的酒吧,供应罗马最好的咖啡之一。)”可知,想在罗马品尝优质咖啡应去Fischio。故选A项。
In Washington, D. C., early in the morning, Stephanie Haley, a volunteer, is walking through the city’s downtown, looking for birds that might have collided (碰撞) with windows. On the sidewalk next to an office building, there is an olive-green songbird. It’s an Acadian flycatcher, no doubt on its way to Central or South America when it hit a window.
This scene is repeated across the country. Each year, up to a billion birds are killed by window collisions in the US. Most of these birds are migrating (迁徙), flying at speeds of up to 30 miles per hour when they hit the glass. For birds, glass — whether clear or reflective — presents a major danger, and this is especially true in cities, where buildings are full of glass.
Each night during the migration season, hundreds of millions of birds take to the skies, flying through the night to take advantage of the evening’s cool, stable air. They navigate with the help of the moon and the stars, and come down in the morning to rest. That’s when they can meet glass, which they don’t know how to avoid. If it’s clear, they think they can fly through it. If it’s reflective, they can mistake the reflections for real trees and sky. These collisions happen mostly near the ground, not high in the air.
The issue gained national attention after hundreds of birds died in one night at McCormick Place in Chicago in 2023. This event led to a meeting of experts, who formed the Bird collision Prevention Alliance. Their goal is to find better ways to protect birds from glass. In Chicago, using special films on windows can reduce (减少) bird collisions by up to 95%.
Homeowners can also help by treating their windows. By taking small actions, like covering windows, people can reduce bird deaths at home. These efforts may not fix the problem entirely, but they are a step in the right direction for saving millions of birds.
4. Where does the volunteer find the Acadian flycatcher?
A. At an office. B. On the driveway. C. At her house. D. On the sidewalk.
5. What is the main reason birds collide with windows?
A. They are attracted to foods. B. They are confused by the lights.
C. They fail to recognize glass. D. They fly too high while migrating.
6. How do the birds fly at night during the migration season?
A. They use the moon and stars. B. They look for trees in the country.
C. They follow the lights in cities. D. They turn to other animals for help.
7. Which best describes the act of applying special films to windows to save birds?
A. Difficult. B. Workable. C. Pointless. D. Expensive.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要揭示了美国城市玻璃建筑导致候鸟撞窗死亡的严峻现实及相应的防护措施。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“On the sidewalk next to an office building, there is an olive-green songbird. It’s an Acadian flycatcher, no doubt on its way to Central or South America when it hit a window.(在办公楼旁边的人行道上,有一只橄榄绿的鸣禽。这是一只阿卡迪亚捕蝇鸟,毫无疑问是在飞往中美洲或南美洲的途中撞上了一扇窗户)”可知,志愿者在办公楼旁的人行道上发现这只捕蝇鸟。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“For birds, glass — whether clear or reflective —presents a major danger, and this is especially true in cities, where buildings are full of glass.(对鸟类来说,玻璃——无论是透明的还是反光的——都是一大危险,在城市里尤其如此,因为那里的建筑物都是玻璃)”及第三段中“That’s when they can meet glass, which they don’t know how to avoid. If it’s clear, they think they can fly through it. If it’s reflective, they can mistake the reflections for real trees and sky. These collisions happen mostly near the ground, not high in the air.(这时他们会碰到玻璃,他们不知道如何避免。如果是透明的,他们认为他们可以飞过。如果它是反射的,他们会把反射误认为是真实的树木和天空。这些碰撞大多发生在地面附近,而不是高空)”可知,鸟类无法识别玻璃才是撞击事件的主要原因。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“They navigate with the help of the moon and the stars, and come down in the morning to rest.(他们在月亮和星星的帮助下航行,早上下来休息)”可知,鸟类在夜间迁徙依靠月亮和星星导航。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“In Chicago, using special films on windows can reduce (减少) bird collisions by up to 95%.(在芝加哥,在窗户上使用特殊薄膜可以减少高达95%的鸟类碰撞)”可推断,在窗户上贴膜来保护鸟类的做法切实可行。故选B。
The Sahara Desert is one of the driest places on Earth, receiving only about 3 inches of rainfall each year. This is just one-tenth of what cities like Chicago experience. However, scientists from the University of Illinois Chicago predict (预测) that the Sahara could become significantly wetter in the latter half of the 21st century.
Their findings suggest that the Sahara could receive up to 75% more rainfall compared with its historical average. The researchers also project that southeastern and south-central Africa might receive more rain, especially under extreme climate (气候) conditions.
“Changing rainfall patterns (模式) will affect billions of people, both in and outside Africa,” said lead author Thierry Ndetatsin Taguela, a climate expert. “We have to start planning to face these changes, from flood management to drought-resistant crops.”
Taguela pointed out that understanding how rising temperatures impact rainfall is important for developing strategies to deal with these changes. In the study, he used 40 climate models to predict summer rainfall across Africa in the second half of the 21st century (2050 — 2099) compared with the historical period (1965 — 2014).
The models showed that rainfall over Africa will generally increase by the end of the 21st century. Notably, the Sahara Desert is expected to receive 75% more rainfall, southeastern Africa will see a 25% increase, and south-central Africa will experience a 17% rise in rainfall.
“It is surprising for the Sahara to nearly double its historical rainfall,” Taguela said. “But while most models agree on the overall trend of wetter conditions, there’s still uncertainty about how much the rainfall will actually increase. Upgrading these models is key to making reliable predictions.”
For the most part, these projected changes are related to the effects of climate change, as higher temperatures help the atmosphere hold more moisture, which in turn leads to rainfall. At the same time, changes in wind patterns also play a part in affecting rainfall.
8. What did the research show about the Sahara Desert?
A. It would remain the driest place. B. It would turn into a liveable land.
C. It would experience less rainfall. D. It would become wetter than ever.
9. What did Taguela want to stress in paragraph 3?
A. Climate change is an avoidable issue. B. Extreme climate conditions are a repeat.
C. We have to prepare for changes in rainfall. D. Rainfall patterns are usually unbelievable.
10. What can we know about the climate models in the study?
A. They are correct and true. B. They need improving.
C. They erase public doubts. D. They make little sense.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The forces behind rainfall. B. The changes in climate patterns.
C. The predicted rise in rainfall. D. The impact of clouds on rainfall.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了研究表明受气候变化影响,本世纪后半叶非洲特别是撒哈拉沙漠的降雨量将显著增多,人类须及早应对。
8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“However, scientists from the University of Illinois Chicago predict (预测) that the Sahara could become significantly wetter in the latter half of the 21st century.(然而,来自伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校的科学家们预测,在21世纪的后半段,撒哈拉沙漠的气候将会变得更加湿润)”及第二段“Their findings suggest that the Sahara could receive up to 75% more rainfall compared with its historical average.(他们的研究结果表明,撒哈拉地区的降雨量可能会比其历史平均水平增加多达75%)”可知,研究表明撒哈拉沙漠的降雨量将比以往增多。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段““Changing rainfall patterns (模式) will affect billions of people, both in and outside Africa,” said lead author Thierry Ndetatsin Taguela, a climate expert. “We have to start planning to face these changes, from flood management to drought-resistant crops.”(该研究的首席作者、气候专家蒂埃里·恩德塔辛·塔古莱表示:“降雨模式的变化将影响非洲及以外地区的数十亿人口。我们必须着手制定应对这些变化的计划,包括洪水管理以及研发抗旱作物等措施。”)”可推断,Taguela意在强调我们需要做好应对降雨变化的准备。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“But while most models agree on the overall trend of wetter conditions, there’s still uncertainty about how much the rainfall will actually increase. Upgrading these models is key to making reliable predictions.(不过,尽管大多数模型都认同气候将变得更加潮湿这一总体趋势,但对于降雨量究竟会增加多少,仍存在不确定性。改进这些模型是做出可靠预测的关键所在)”可知,这些研究模型还需要改进。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“For the most part, these projected changes are related to the effects of climate change, as higher temperatures help the atmosphere hold more moisture, which in turn leads to rainfall. At the same time, changes in wind patterns also play a part in affecting rainfall.(总的来说,这些预计的变化与气候变化的影响有关,因为气温升高会使大气能够容纳更多的水分,进而导致降雨。同时,风向的变化也对降雨量产生影响)”可知,本段主要介绍了影响降雨的因素。故选A。
Despite the well-known benefits for children’s health, one in ten parents of preschoolers say that their children play outside just once a week or less. This is the finding of a survey of 710 parents of children aged 1 to 5, conducted in August by researchers from the University of Michigan Health C. S. Mott Children’s Hospital.
The survey showed that outdoor and imaginative play remain common, but screen-based activities are quickly catching up as a daily fixture of children’s lives. Nearly one-third of parents surveyed reported that their children regularly take part in “media play”, such as video games, while three in five said their children watch videos every day.
“Outdoor play is essential for young children’s learning and development,” said Sarah Clark, co-director of the survey. “Our report suggests that many families could support healthier development by encouraging a wider variety of play experiences. For example, parents could take their children to the park before shopping or use a short walk to play a game with jumping.”
The survey also pointed out that digital activities have become a common part of children’s daily lives. Most parents of preschoolers admitted (承认) that they often hand a phone or tablet to their children in the car, at restaurants or in public places when they would like them to be occupied (忙碌). While phones and tablets are convenient, Clark suggested other options, such as setting up a “quiet kit” with fun books, or small toys that children can use when on the go.
Additionally, the survey found that parental anxiety plays a role in limiting (限制) outdoor play. Four out of ten parents said they feel nervous when their children go too far or climb too high. While safety concerns are understandable, Clark stressed that a little independence helps children grow, encouraging curiosity and creativity. “Outdoor play doesn’t need to be perfect or educational to be beneficial,” she added. “Parents just need to make time and space for their children to play freely.”
12. What is the percentage of parents surveyed saying their children watch videos daily?
A. 33%. B. 40%. C. 50%. D. 60%.
13. What does the underlined word “essential” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Harmful. B. Important. C. Challenging. D. Responsible.
14. What is probably Clark’s suggestion for parents?
A. Let children lead their own play. B. Allow children to play in groups.
C. Set up more screen time activities. D. Limit playtime for safety reasons.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Parents’ Role in Children’s Screen Time B. The Influence of Digital Games on Students
C. Preschoolers: More Outdoors, Less Screens D. Outdoor Games: A Growing Sense of Unease
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。密歇根大学Health C. S. Mott儿童医院的一项调查显示,学龄前儿童观看视频时间增多,户外活动时间减少,指出父母应鼓励孩子多参与户外活动以促进其身心发展。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Nearly one-third of parents surveyed reported that their children regularly take part in “media play”, such as video games, while three in five said their children watch videos every day.(近三分之一的受访家长表示,他们的孩子经常参与“媒体游戏”,比如电子游戏,五分之三的家长表示,他们的孩子每天都看视频)”可知,有60%的受访家长表示他们的孩子每天都看视频。故选D。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词后“Our report suggests that many families could support healthier development by encouraging a wider variety of play experiences. For example, parents could take their children to the park before shopping or use a short walk to play a game with jumping.(我们的报告表明,许多家庭可以通过鼓励更广泛的游戏体验来支持更健康的发展。例如,父母可以在购物前带孩子去公园,或者利用一小段散步时间玩跳跃游戏)”可推断,画线词所在句意为“户外游戏对幼儿的学习和发展至关重要”,画线词意为“至关重要的”,与Important的意思最接近。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“While safety concerns are understandable, Clark stressed that a little independence helps children grow, encouraging curiosity and creativity. “Outdoor play doesn’t need to be perfect or educational to be beneficial,” she added. “Parents just need to make time and space for their children to play freely.”(虽然安全问题是可以理解的,但Clark强调,一点独立有助于孩子成长,鼓励好奇心和创造力。她补充说:“户外游戏并不需要完美或有教育意义才有益。”“父母只需要腾出时间和空间让孩子自由玩耍。”)”可推断,Clark主张让孩子自由、自主地玩耍。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。总览全文核心内容,尤其是第一段“Despite the well-known benefits for children’s health, one in ten parents of preschoolers say that their children play outside just once a week or less.(尽管户外活动对孩子的健康有众所周知的好处,但十分之一的学龄前儿童家长表示,他们的孩子每周只在户外活动一次或更少)”及最后一段中““Outdoor play doesn’t need to be perfect or educational to be beneficial,” she added. “Parents just need to make time and space for their children to play freely.”(“户外游戏并不需要完美或有教育意义才有益。”她补充说。“父母只需要腾出时间和空间让孩子自由玩耍。”)”可知,密歇根大学Health C. S. Mott儿童医院的一项调查显示学龄前儿童观看视频时间增多,户外活动时间减少,指出父母应鼓励孩子多参与户外活动以促进其健康发展。由此可知,C项“学龄前儿童:多户外活动,少屏幕”能够体现语篇的主旨,适合作本文标题。故选C。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When I first arrived in Buenos Aires in 2010, I couldn’t even order food at a restaurant in Spanish. But two years later, I was explaining Russian grammar to a friend in Spanish. ____16____. I spent many hours practicing, making mistakes, and learning through real conversations. Here are some of my tips that may help you along the way.
·Know why you want to learn a new language. Do you want to live in a new country? Or perhaps you just want to be able to order food when you visit a foreign country? These are all great reasons to learn a new language. Without a strong reason for your learning, you will lose interest and give up. ____17____.
·Set simple and measurable learning goals. Many people start by saying, “I want to be fluent in French in six months!” The problem is, what is fluency? Reading and writing? ____18____. For example, you could aim to learn how to introduce yourself by the end of today.
·Talk as much as possible. ____19____. Talking with people who are better than you at the language is more effective (有效的) than any textbook. One hour of conversation is worth five hours in a classroom.
·____20____. We usually think in our native language. But you can challenge yourself to think in the language you’re learning. Practice forming sentences and imagine having conversations in your head. This helps a lot when you actually speak to someone. For example, you can picture yourself talking about a topic you might discuss later.
A. Instead, it’s better to set achievable goals
B. It wasn’t easy, and there were no shortcuts
C. Keep practicing the new language in your head
D. It’s different from British English in several ways
E. So you must have a clear reason to learn a language
F. Picture what it will be like to live alone in a new country
G. The best way to learn a foreign language is through conversation
【答案】16. B 17. E 18. A 19. G 20. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。作者分享了自己学习外语的一些心得。
【16题详解】
上文“When I first arrived in Buenos Aires in 2010, I couldn’t even order food at a restaurant in Spanish. But two years later, I was explaining Russian grammar to a friend in Spanish.(2010年我第一次抵达布宜诺斯艾利斯时,甚至不会用西班牙语在餐厅点餐。但两年后,我却能用西班牙语给朋友讲解俄语语法)”说明了作者的西班牙语水平有了巨大提升,这种提升必然经历了过程。选项B“这并不容易,而且没有捷径可走。”承接上文,既承认了语言水平从不会点餐到讲解语法这种巨大提升的难度,也为下文提到的“花费大量时间练习、犯错并通过真实对话学习”做了铺垫,逻辑连贯。故选B。
【17题详解】
上文“Without a strong reason for your learning, you will lose interest and give up.(如果学习没有强烈的动机,你就会失去兴趣并放弃)”强调了学习动机的重要性。选项E“所以你必须有明确的学习理由。”对上文内容进行总结与强调,进一步明确了“有明确学习理由”的必要性。故选E。
【18题详解】
上文“Many people start by saying, ‘I want to be fluent in French in six months!’ The problem is, what is fluency? Reading and writing?(很多人一开始会说‘我想在六个月内流利掌握法语!’但问题是,流利的定义是什么?是读写能力吗?)” 指出了“六个月内流利掌握法语”这种目标的模糊性和不切实际性。选项A“相反,设定可实现的目标会更好。”给出了正确的目标设定方向,且下文“For example, you could aim to learn how to introduce yourself by the end of today.(比如,你可以设定目标在今天结束前学会自我介绍)”正是对“可实现的目标”的具体举例,衔接自然。故选A。
【19题详解】
下文“Talking with people who are better than you at the language is more effective (有效的) than any textbook. One hour of conversation is worth five hours in a classroom.(和语言水平比你高的人交流比任何教科书都有效。一小时的对话相当于五小时的课堂学习)”重点强调了交流对于语言学习的重要性。选项G“学习外语最好的方法是通过对话交流。”引出下文对交流这种方法的介绍。故选G。
【20题详解】
空处为本段主旨句。上文“We usually think in our native language. But you can challenge yourself to think in the language you’re learning. Practice forming sentences and imagine having conversations in your head.(我们通常用母语思考。但你可以挑战自己用正在学习的语言思考。练习组织句子,在脑海中想象对话场景)”介绍了在脑海中练习新语言的方法。选项C“在脑海中持续练习这门新语言。”是对下文内容的概括,起到了总领段落的作用。故选C。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之成为一篇完整的短文。
Gina was a senior high school student, who often hosted school activities. Everyone praised her excellent speaking skills. One day, she saw a local TV station holding a “Teenage Host” selection. The winner would be invited to host a children’s program once a week. Gina thought it was a great opportunity to show her skills, so she signed up.
During the interview, Gina responded to all the questions clearly and even told a funny story to make the judges laugh. However, when the result came out, Gina was shocked — she didn’t make it. Unwilling to give up, she gathered up her courage to ask the chief judge, “Excuse me, could you tell me why I wasn’t selected?” The chief judge replied coldly, “You seem a bit overweight. It doesn’t meet our requirements.”
Gina felt angry after hearing that, but deep down, she knew she was heavier than many other girls of her age. Determined to change her image, she decided to lose weight. She searched online and found a “5+2 light fasting” method: eat normally on five days a week and only take in very few calories (热量) for the other 2 days. Gina made up her mind to try it, ignoring the potential risks.
On the first two days, Gina felt extremely hungry, causing her to fail to focus on what the teachers said in class. She often looked at the blackboard painfully, her mind recalling delicious food. Her classmates noticed something was wrong and asked her if she was sick. But Gina just made up excuses, saying she simply had a slight headache.
By the second week, the situation got worse. During a break, before Gina could say anything, she fell to the ground. Her classmates were frightened and immediately ran to tell their head teacher, Mr. David. Mr. David rushed over, picked her up carefully, and took her to the hospital at once. After the doctor’s timely care, Gina finally woke up.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。
After being asked, Gina explained to David why she had acted this way.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hearing Mr. David’s words, Gina decided to accept her own figure.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】After being asked, Gina explained to David why she had acted this way. Tears welled up in her eyes as she told him about the whole story. Gina also mentioned the light fasting method she’d been trying, admitting she’d ignored the possible risks just to slim down quickly. Her voice trembled with regret as she said, “I just wanted to prove I was good enough for the program.” Mr. David listened patiently, his expression softening with sympathy. He patted her shoulder gently and said,“Gina, your talent for hosting has nothing to do with your weight. What matters is your passion and skills, not your appearance.”
Hearing Mr. David’s words, Gina decided to accept her own figure. She realized that the judge’s shallow standard didn’t define her worth. After recovering, she stopped the unhealthy fasting and started eating balanced meals and doing moderate exercise to stay fit, not to meet others’ unfair expectations. Later, she joined the school’s broadcasting club, where she continued to shine with her excellent speaking skills. She even hosted a school charity show, which was a big success. This experience taught her that true confidence comes from accepting oneself, not chasing an unrealistic image of perfection.

Where to Eat in Rome Like a Local
In Rome, travelers often eat at popular restaurants that offer English menus. But if you want to experience the real taste of the city, follow the locals and find great food in quieter corners.
Santo Palato
Since opening in 2017, Santo Palato has been known for both classic Roman dishes and creative new ones. In March, it moved from a small place in San Giovanni to a bigger one in Porta Metronia, with a modern design that includes bright-orange walls and a glass-walled kitchen. Despite its new look, the easy, old-school feel is still there, with wooden chairs and comfortable tables.
Retrobotega
With its open kitchen, it’s one of the most exciting dining places in the city. The menu includes both classic dishes and creative ones. With over 90 wines (葡萄酒)available by the glass, it’s a great place for wine lovers. For a more relaxed experience, head to retrovino, the restaurant’s wine bar.
Enoteca L’ Antidoto
Hidden in a quiet street in Tastevere, this small wine bar offers just 16 seats. Inside, guests enjoy a relaxed atmosphere (氛围) with soft music. The young chef, Mirko Pelosi, creates a menu of small, creative plates inspired by Italian and other dishes. The wine list focuses on natural wines. And don’t miss the smoked fish, which pairs perfectly with the wines.
Fischio
Next to an old funfair, Fischio is a laid-back bar which serves some of the best coffee in Rome. It’s a favorite place for locals, offering a mix of a café and a neighborhood hangout. Spend the afternoon over a cup of coffee. It’s a great place to unwind and enjoy the Roman life.
1. What is special about Santos Palato?
A. It moves repeatedly. B. It has an old-school style.
C. It is crowded in March. D. It serves hard-to-find wines.
2. What are tourists advised to do at Enoteca L’ Antidoto?
A. Watch a music show. B. Buy the fresh seafood.
C. Try the smoked fish. D. Pick some local grapes.
3. Where will you go if you want to taste great coffee in Rome?
A. Fischio. B. Santos Palato. C. retrobotega. D. Enoteca L’ Antidoto.
In Washington, D. C., early in the morning, Stephanie Haley, a volunteer, is walking through the city’s downtown, looking for birds that might have collided (碰撞) with windows. On the sidewalk next to an office building, there is an olive-green songbird. It’s an Acadian flycatcher, no doubt on its way to Central or South America when it hit a window.
This scene is repeated across the country. Each year, up to a billion birds are killed by window collisions in the US. Most of these birds are migrating (迁徙), flying at speeds of up to 30 miles per hour when they hit the glass. For birds, glass — whether clear or reflective — presents a major danger, and this is especially true in cities, where buildings are full of glass.
Each night during the migration season, hundreds of millions of birds take to the skies, flying through the night to take advantage of the evening’s cool, stable air. They navigate with the help of the moon and the stars, and come down in the morning to rest. That’s when they can meet glass, which they don’t know how to avoid. If it’s clear, they think they can fly through it. If it’s reflective, they can mistake the reflections for real trees and sky. These collisions happen mostly near the ground, not high in the air.
The issue gained national attention after hundreds of birds died in one night at McCormick Place in Chicago in 2023. This event led to a meeting of experts, who formed the Bird collision Prevention Alliance. Their goal is to find better ways to protect birds from glass. In Chicago, using special films on windows can reduce (减少) bird collisions by up to 95%.
Homeowners can also help by treating their windows. By taking small actions, like covering windows, people can reduce bird deaths at home. These efforts may not fix the problem entirely, but they are a step in the right direction for saving millions of birds.
4. Where does the volunteer find the Acadian flycatcher?
A. At an office. B. On the driveway. C. At her house. D. On the sidewalk.
5. What is the main reason birds collide with windows?
A. They are attracted to foods. B. They are confused by the lights.
C. They fail to recognize glass. D. They fly too high while migrating.
6. How do the birds fly at night during the migration season?
A. They use the moon and stars. B. They look for trees in the country.
C. They follow the lights in cities. D. They turn to other animals for help.
7. Which best describes the act of applying special films to windows to save birds?
A. Difficult. B. Workable. C. Pointless. D. Expensive.
The Sahara Desert is one of the driest places on Earth, receiving only about 3 inches of rainfall each year. This is just one-tenth of what cities like Chicago experience. However, scientists from the University of Illinois Chicago predict (预测) that the Sahara could become significantly wetter in the latter half of the 21st century.
Their findings suggest that the Sahara could receive up to 75% more rainfall compared with its historical average. The researchers also project that southeastern and south-central Africa might receive more rain, especially under extreme climate (气候) conditions.
“Changing rainfall patterns (模式) will affect billions of people, both in and outside Africa,” said lead author Thierry Ndetatsin Taguela, a climate expert. “We have to start planning to face these changes, from flood management to drought-resistant crops.”
Taguela pointed out that understanding how rising temperatures impact rainfall is important for developing strategies to deal with these changes. In the study, he used 40 climate models to predict summer rainfall across Africa in the second half of the 21st century (2050 — 2099) compared with the historical period (1965 — 2014).
The models showed that rainfall over Africa will generally increase by the end of the 21st century. Notably, the Sahara Desert is expected to receive 75% more rainfall, southeastern Africa will see a 25% increase, and south-central Africa will experience a 17% rise in rainfall.
“It is surprising for the Sahara to nearly double its historical rainfall,” Taguela said. “But while most models agree on the overall trend of wetter conditions, there’s still uncertainty about how much the rainfall will actually increase. Upgrading these models is key to making reliable predictions.”
For the most part, these projected changes are related to the effects of climate change, as higher temperatures help the atmosphere hold more moisture, which in turn leads to rainfall. At the same time, changes in wind patterns also play a part in affecting rainfall.
8. What did the research show about the Sahara Desert?
A. It would remain the driest place. B. It would turn into a liveable land.
C. It would experience less rainfall. D. It would become wetter than ever.
9. What did Taguela want to stress in paragraph 3?
A. Climate change is an avoidable issue. B. Extreme climate conditions are a repeat.
C. We have to prepare for changes in rainfall. D. Rainfall patterns are usually unbelievable.
10. What can we know about the climate models in the study?
A. They are correct and true. B. They need improving.
C. They erase public doubts. D. They make little sense.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The forces behind rainfall. B. The changes in climate patterns.
C. The predicted rise in rainfall. D. The impact of clouds on rainfall.
Despite the well-known benefits for children’s health, one in ten parents of preschoolers say that their children play outside just once a week or less. This is the finding of a survey of 710 parents of children aged 1 to 5, conducted in August by researchers from the University of Michigan Health C. S. Mott Children’s Hospital.
The survey showed that outdoor and imaginative play remain common but screen-based activities are quickly catching up as a daily fixture of children’s lives. Nearly one-third of parents surveyed reported that their children regularly take part in “media play”, such as video games, while three in five said their children watch videos every day.
“Outdoor play is essential for young children’s learning and development,” said Sarah Clark, co-director of the survey. “Our report suggests that many families could support healthier development by encouraging a wider variety of play experiences. For example, parents could take their children to the park before shopping or use a short walk to play a game with jumping.”
The survey also pointed out that digital activities have become a common part of children’s daily lives. Most parents of preschoolers admitted (承认) that they often hand a phone or tablet to their children in the car, at restaurants or in public places when they would like them to be occupied (忙碌). While phones and tablets are convenient, Clark suggested other options, such as setting up a “quiet kit” with fun books, or small toys that children can use when on the go.
Additionally, the survey found that parental anxiety plays a role in limiting (限制) outdoor play. Four out of ten parents said they feel nervous when their children go too far or climb too high. While safety concerns are understandable, Clark stressed that a little independence helps children grow, encouraging curiosity and creativity. “Outdoor play doesn’t need to be perfect or educational to be beneficial,” she added. “Parents just need to make time and space for their children to play freely.”
12. What is the percentage of parents surveyed saying their children watch videos daily?
A. 33%. B. 40%. C. 50%. D. 60%.
13. What does the underlined word “essential” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Harmful. B. Important. C. Challenging. D. Responsible.
14. What is probably Clark’s suggestion for parents?
A. Let children lead their own play. B. Allow children to play in groups.
C. Set up more screen time activities. D. Limit playtime for safety reasons.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Parents’ Role in Children’s Screen Time B. The Influence of Digital Games on Students
C. Preschoolers: More Outdoors, Less Screens D. Outdoor Games: A Growing Sense of Unease

When I first arrived in Buenos Aires in 2010, I couldn’t even order food at a restaurant in Spanish. But two years later, I was explaining Russian grammar to a friend in Spanish. ____16____. I spent many hours practicing, making mistakes, and learning through real conversations. Here are some of my tips that may help you along the way.

·____20____. We usually think in our native language. But you can challenge yourself to think in the language you’re learning.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之成为一篇完整的短文。
Gina was a senior high school student, who often hosted school activities. Everyone praised her excellent speaking skills. One day, she saw a local TV station holding a “Teenage Host” selection. The winner would be invited to host a children’s program once a week. Gina thought it was a great opportunity to show her skills, so she signed up.
During the interview, Gina responded to all the questions clearly and even told a funny story to make the judges laugh. However, when the result came out, Gina was shocked — she didn’t make it. Unwilling to give up, she gathered up her courage to ask the chief judge, “Excuse me, could you tell me why I wasn’t selected?” The chief judge replied coldly, “You seem a bit overweight. It doesn’t meet our requirements.”
Gina felt angry after hearing that, but deep down, she knew she was heavier than many other girls of her age. Determined to change her image, she decided to lose weight. She searched online and found a “5+2 light fasting” method: eat normally on five days a week and only take in very few calories (热量) for the other 2 days. Gina made up her mind to try it, ignoring the potential risks.
On the first two days, Gina felt extremely hungry, causing her to fail to focus on what the teachers said in class. She often looked at the blackboard painfully, her mind recalling delicious food. Her classmates noticed something was wrong and asked her if she was sick. But Gina just made up excuses, saying she simply had a slight headache.
By the second week, the situation got worse. During a break, before Gina could say anything, she fell to the ground. Her classmates were frightened and immediately ran to tell their head teacher, Mr. David. Mr. David rushed over, picked her up carefully, and took her to the hospital at once. After the doctor’s timely care, Gina finally woke up.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。
After being asked, Gina explained to David why she had acted this way.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hearing Mr. David’s words, Gina decided to accept her own figure.
