Ancient Cities to Visit in Italy
With the holding of the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, it is the perfect timing to explore some of Italy’s ancient cities.
● Matera — Prehistoric Cave City
Matera, known as “the oldest city in Italy”, features its stunning landscape, ancient cave dwellings, and rich history. Its unique cave systems are like beehives scattered on steep slopes, where houses, churches and even the entire neighborhood are carved into rocks. These man-made caves were originally used for food storage and later turned into people’s homes, forming an amazing inhabited cave city.
● Naples — Ancient City Beneath the Modern Streets
Naples is famous not only for its rich history and culture but also for the fascinating ancient heritage that lies beneath its modern streets. It had been a vital center of Latin cities before becoming part of the Roman Empire. You can walk through a well-preserved Roman theater, and then sip coffee in a busy square above it, making Naples one of the most authentic urban time capsules in Italy.
● Agrigento — City of Temples
Agrigento was once one of the wealthiest Greek colonies in Sicily. Today, its Valley of the Temples is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, making it a must-see for travelers curious about ancient wonders. In the Valley, you can visit the Temple of Poseidon, one of several massive structures built for the gods. The Valley reveals the profound connection between the city and both Greek myths and religious traditions.
● Rome — Legendary Urban Life since 753 BC
The list of the ancient cities in Italy would be incomplete without Rome, the capital of the Roman Empire and a place of nearly unmatched influence. Though not the absolute oldest, Rome’s role in shaping Europe and its continuous habitation across centuries makes it legendary. You can learn more about ancient Roman culture while visiting the Theatre of Pompey, the Colosseum and the museums.
1. What is special about Matera?
A. It features cave dwellings.
B. It has beehives on steep slopes.
C. It is a wonderful place to store food.
D. It owns some natural cave systems.
2. Why is Naples called “an urban time capsule”?
A. It was a wealthy Greek colony.
B. It has the longest history in Italy.
C. It is famous for its temples of gods.
D. It mixes ancient heritage with modern life.
3. What do Agrigento and Rome have in common?
A. Both are located near Sicily.
B. Both are windows to ancient cultures.
C. Both played a key role in the Roman Empire.
D. Both are not on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
【答案】1. A 2. D 3. B

【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Matera — Prehistoric Cave City部分中“Matera, known as “the oldest city in Italy”, features its stunning landscape, ancient cave dwellings, and rich history.(马泰拉被称为“意大利最古老的城市”,以其令人惊叹的风景、古老的洞穴住宅和丰富的历史而闻名。)”可知,马泰拉的特别之处在于它有洞穴住宅。故选A。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Naples — Ancient City Beneath the Modern Streets部分中“Naples is famous not only for its rich history and culture but also for the fascinating ancient heritage that lies beneath its modern streets.(那不勒斯不仅以其丰富的历史和文化而闻名,还以其隐藏在现代街道下的迷人的古代遗产而闻名。)”以及“You can walk through a well-preserved Roman theater, and then sip coffee in a busy square above it, making Naples one of the most authentic urban time capsules in Italy.(你可以穿过一个保存完好的罗马剧院,然后在上面一个繁忙的广场上喝咖啡,这使得那不勒斯成为意大利最真实的城市时间胶囊之一。)”可知,那不勒斯被称为“城市时间胶囊”是因为它将古代遗产与现代生活融合在一起。故选D。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据 Agrigento — City of Temples部分中“Agrigento was once one of the wealthiest Greek colonies in Sicily. Today, its Valley of the Temples is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, making it a must-see for travelers curious about ancient wonders.(阿格里真托曾经是西西里岛最富有的希腊殖民地之一。如今,它的神庙谷被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产,对于对古代奇迹感到好奇的旅行者来说,这是必看之地。)”以及最后一段中“The list of the ancient cities in Italy would be incomplete without Rome, the capital of the Roman Empire and a place of nearly unmatched influence. Though not the absolute oldest, Rome’s role in shaping Europe and its continuous habitation across centuries makes it legendary. You can learn more about ancient Roman culture while visiting the Theatre of Pompey, the Colosseum and the museums.(如果没有罗马,这个古城的名单就不完整了,罗马是罗马帝国的首都,是一个几乎无与伦比的影响力之地。尽管不是绝对最古老的,但罗马在塑造欧洲和几个世纪以来的持续居住中所扮演的角色使其成为传奇。在参观庞贝剧院、斗兽场和博物馆时,你可以了解更多关于古罗马文化的知识。)”可知,阿格里真托和罗马的共同之处在于它们都是了解古代文化的窗口。故选B。
B
What would life be like without commas (逗号)? It would be quite confusing. Take this simple sentence as an example: Let’s eat Dad! Without a comma, Dad becomes the food. Add comma, and Dad becomes a partner at dinner: Let’s eat, Dad! The comma enables people to have a better understanding of the sentence.
Here’s another example: Tom said Sarah stole the cake. Here, Sarah is the thief. But add a pair of commas, and Tom becomes the thief: Tom, said Sarah, stole the cake.
The examples above clearly show that people cannot do without commas in writing. Yet, the comma came from oral speeches. Long ago, most people could not read. They listened to the news or stories told by the people who gave speeches. The comma began as something to mark the resting place in a sentence. When reading, the speakers knew where to stop and take a breath.
In writing, commas are like shining red lights on the road. They require that you wait a moment before continuing. And don’t add a comma when you feel like it. There are rules that people shall not break. Learn them, and you won’t be eating anyone or making wrong changes.
4. Without commas, life would be ________.
A. frightening B. puzzling C. relaxing D. interesting
5. The author uses two examples in the passage to________.
A. tell jokes to readers B. show the importance of using commas
C. tell stories to readers D. show the difficulty of using commas
6. According to the last paragraph, we use commas by following________.
A. our feelings B. our speeches
C. certain rules D. some facts
7. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Commas Make Sentences Clear. B. Commas Make English Interesting.
C. Commas Make Writing Easy. D. Commas Make Speeches Surprising.
【答案】4. B 5. B 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了逗号在句子中的重要性及其使用规则。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第一段“What would life be like without commas (逗号)? It would be quite confusing. (没有逗号的生活会是什么样子?这将是相当令人困惑的。)”可知,没有逗号,生活会变得令人困惑。故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。 根据第一段“The comma enables people to have a better understanding of the sentence. (逗号使人们能够更好地理解句子。)”和第三段“The examples above clearly show that people cannot do without commas in writing. (上面的例子清楚地表明,人们在写作中离不开逗号)”可知,作者在文章中用了两个例子来说明使用逗号的重要性。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。 根据最后一段“And don’t add a comma when you feel like it. There are rules that people shall not break. (当你想加逗号的时候,不要加逗号。有些规则是人们不能违反的)”可知,使用逗号要遵循一定的规则。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。 根据第一段的“The comma enables people to have a better understanding of the sentence. (逗号使人们能够更好地理解句子。)”以及全文内容可知,文章主要讲述了逗号在句子中的重要性,它可以使句子更加清晰易懂。因此,最好的标题是“Commas Make Sentences Clear. (逗号使句子清晰。)”。故选A。
C
Li Ziqi is back! After more than three years’ break, one of China’s most beloved influencers, who had been celebrated worldwide for her description of rural Chinese life through videos, returned on Nov 12.
Li marked her comeback with two new videos. One details how she transformed a shed into a woodland coatroom while the other demonstrates the process of making wardrobe doors using the intangible cultural heritage of Chinese lacquer-ware (漆器) techniques. These videos quickly went viral on social media. By Nov 22, her lacquer-ware video had 140 million views on Sina Weibo.
Fans from around the globe expressed their excitement. “Three years! It’s been three years since you last updated! Do you know how I’ve survived these three years? You’re finally back! I’m so excited!” commented one Weibo user.
For Li, the past three years were an opportunity to delve deeply into Chinese traditional arts. “I traveled to more than 20 provinces, visiting over 100 intangible cultural heritage inheritors,” Li told Xinhua. She spoke with craftsmen, studied their skills and explored folk culture, learning about the stories, historical context and materials behind these crafts, all to share them with the world through her videos.
Although many vloggers have attempted to copy Li’s style during her absence, none have reached her level of popularity.
One key reason is the high quality of her videos. “Her videos show not only the production process of traditional Chinese cuisine and handicrafts but also the wisdom from nature and history,” praised Rednet. “She would spend several months making a single video. Her pursuit of perfection is difficult for many vloggers to copy.”
Moreover, fans admire the slow-paced rhythm of her content. “She is willing to slow down and focus on only one thing, which is healing in today’s noisy and fast-paced world,” noted one follower.
“People’s love for Li’s videos reflects modern individuals’ beautiful imagination of rural life and their longing for easiness,” commented Southern Weekly. “This shared value goes beyond time and circumstances.”
8. How did Li Ziqi officially return after her three-year break?
A. By holding a press conference on Nov. B. By going viral on social media.
C. By collaborating with other influencers. D. By releasing two new visual works.
9. Which can best replace the phrase “delve deeply into” underlined in paragraph 4?
A. Explore thoroughly. B. Get away from. C. Show interest in. D. Talk about deeply.
10. What makes Li Ziqi’s videos stand out from those of other vloggers?
A. The editing style of her videos. B. The quality and depth of her content.
C. The speed of her producing videos. D. Her wisdom from nature and history.
11. What do Li Ziqi’s videos mean to her viewers, according to Southern Weekly?
A. A love for Chinese handicrafts. B. A good knowledge of history.
C. A desire for a back-to-basics life. D. An escape from modern technology.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了李子柒在停更三年后回归,发布新视频引发关注及受欢迎的原因。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Li marked her comeback with two new videos.(李子柒以两个新视频标志着她的回归)”可知,李子柒在停更三年后是通过发布两个新的视频作品正式回归的。故选D。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段““I traveled to more than 20 provinces, visiting over 100 intangible cultural heritage inheritors,” Li told Xinhua. She spoke with craftsmen, studied their skills and explored folk culture, learning about the stories, historical context and materials behind these crafts, all to share them with the world through her videos.(李子柒告诉新华社:“我走访了20多个省份,拜访了100多位非物质文化遗产传承人。”她与工匠们交谈,学习他们的技艺,探索民间文化,了解这些工艺背后的故事、历史背景和材料,所有这些都是为了通过她的视频与世界分享)”可知,李子柒走访多地,拜访传承人,和工匠交流等,是为了深入探索中国传统艺术,所以“delve deeply into”意思是“深入探索”,与“Explore thoroughly”意思相符。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段“One key reason is the high quality of her videos. “Her videos show not only the production process of traditional Chinese cuisine and handicrafts but also the wisdom from nature and history,” praised Rednet. “She would spend several months making a single video. Her pursuit of perfection is difficult for many vloggers to copy.”(一个关键原因是她的视频质量很高。红网称赞道:“她的视频不仅展示了中国传统美食和手工艺品的制作过程,还展示了来自自然和历史的智慧。”“她花几个月的时间制作一个视频。她对完美的追求是许多视频博主难以复制的。”)”以及第七段“Moreover, fans admire the slow-paced rhythm of her content.(此外,粉丝们欣赏她内容的慢节奏)”可知,李子柒视频的内容质量和深度使其与其他视频博主区别开来。故选B。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段““People’s love for Li’s videos reflects modern individuals’ beautiful imagination of rural life and their longing for easiness,” commented Southern Weekly. “This shared value goes beyond time and circumstances.”(《南方周末》评论道:“人们对李子柒视频的喜爱反映了现代人对乡村生活的美好想象和对安逸生活的向往。”“这种共同的价值超越了时间和环境。”)”可知,根据《南方周末》的评论,李子柒的视频对观众来说意味着对返璞归真生活的渴望。故选C。
D
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been extremely conscious of myself — how others perceive and judge me. If you’ve ever taken a psychology class, the term “spotlight effect” may ring a bell. I lived under the imagined spotlight for years, constantly worried about my perceived intellect and looks.
If I made a wrong comment in class, I would think about the moment for days. A single spot on my face would make me want to lock myself home and never face humanity again. Growing up with social media increased the pressure to be perfect. I’ve spent embarrassing amounts of screen time on Instagram, zooming into each of my posts to see if I looked cool, fun or pretty enough.
My anxious thoughts took over my life. As I entered college, countless times I passed by an ad detailing an exciting event or job. However, I would grab these flyers only to let them gather dust. The lack of initiative was not due to laziness but fear of scrutiny. Without a familiar face, club meetings felt like an opportunity ripe for embarrassment. I knew I’d be placing myself among strangers, directly under their gaze.
I came to realize the extent to which my unfounded fear of judgment burdened me. If I’m reluctant to try new things, how can I experience my surroundings to their fullest? The spotlight effect is also a narrowing effect, limiting the vision you have of your possibilities because of social pressures.
A close friend once told me how he stepped out — he simply decided not to care about what others thought of him. His decision to live for himself confused me. I couldn’t imagine a world where I wasn’t constantly changing myself to meet others’ expectations or tirelessly trying to satisfy someone else in every relationship.
But eventually I took his advice — I vowed to live in a carefree way without fear of others’ attention. I allowed myself to work out at the gym during peak time, go to professors’ office hours and joined new clubs. Rest assured, I still fought with social pressures, asking myself, “What if they notice when I mix up my words while talking?” To all those who may sympathize with that thought, I’ll ask you this: when have you ever torn someone to pieces over a simple pronunciation mistake? So I adopted a new motto for myself — no one truly cares.
And the world didn’t explode and I’ve never once regretted being outside my comfort zone. I found myself applying for internships, making new friends and feeling less restrained by the self-imposed boundaries and more appreciative for my potential and abilities.
I still hesitate before speaking up, have to give myself a pep talk before a group conversation. Changing your mindset and habits is probably one of the hardest cycles to break. But as the new year begins, I promise you all that it is never that deep. Just remember: ________.
12. According to the passage, the term “spotlight effect” can be best defined as ________.
A. the tendency to judge others based on their intelligence and appearance
B. the pressure to present a perfect self-image to capture public attention
C. the limitation to one’s potential and abilities caused by fear of judgment
D. the feeling that one is constantly being noticed and evaluated by others
13. The highlighted word “scrutiny” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. sharp criticism B. great uncertainty C. careful examination D. deep shame
14. What can we learn about the author from the passage?
A. She used to prioritize others’ needs and expectations in her relationships.
B. She believed that social media was the major cause of her social anxiety.
C. She has successfully overcome her anxiety caused by social pressures.
D. She thought she should have stepped outside her comfort zone earlier.
15. What piece of advice is the author most likely to offer to readers at the end of the passage?
A. Seek friends’ help when you suffer from self-doubt.
B. Stop being too self-conscious and live for yourself.
C. Be brave to tap your potential and try new things.
D. Seize the day and make your life more meaningful.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者长期受聚光灯效应困扰,过度在意他人评价,陷入社交焦虑。受朋友启发后,她努力放下顾虑、走出舒适区,逐渐摆脱心理束缚,学会为自己而活。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“For as long as I can remember, I’ve been extremely conscious of myself — how others perceive and judge me. If you’ve ever taken a psychology class, the term “spotlight effect” may ring a bell. I lived under the imagined spotlight for years, constantly worried about my perceived intellect and looks.( 从我记事起,我就一直非常在意自己——在意他人对我的看法和评价。如果你曾经上过心理学课,可能会对“聚光灯效应”这个词有所耳闻。多年来,我一直生活在想象中的聚光灯下,时刻担心自己在别人眼中的聪明程度和外貌状况。)”可推知,术语“聚光灯效应”最恰当的定义是总觉得自己时刻被他人注意、审视和评价,这是一种过度的自我关注。故选D项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Without a familiar face, club meetings felt like an opportunity ripe for embarrassment. I knew I’d be placing myself among strangers, directly under their gaze.( 没有熟悉的面孔在场,社团会议就像一个容易让人尴尬的机会。我知道自己将置身于陌生人之中,直接处于他们的注视之下。)”由此可知,划线单词scrutiny与后文的 gaze(注视)呼应,意为仔细的审视、观察。C选项careful examination“仔细的审查”符合语境。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“I couldn’t imagine a world where I wasn’t constantly changing myself to meet others’ expectations or tirelessly trying to satisfy someone else in every relationship.( 我无法想象一个我从未为了迎合他人的期望而不断改变自己,或者在每段关系中都竭力满足他人期望的世界。)”可知,,作者过去总是改变自己迎合他人,在人际关系中优先满足别人的需求和期待。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章大意以及第六段中“I vowed to live in a carefree way without fear of others’ attention. I allowed myself to work out at the gym during peak time, go to professors’ office hours and joined new clubs. Rest assured, I still fought with social pressures, asking myself, “What if they notice when I mix up my words while talking?” To all those who may sympathize with that thought, I’ll ask you this: when have you ever torn someone to pieces over a simple pronunciation mistake? So I adopted a new motto for myself — no one truly cares.( 我发誓要以一种无忧无虑的方式生活,不再害怕他人的关注。我允许自己在高峰时段去健身房锻炼,参加教授的办公时间,加入新的俱乐部。请放心,我仍然与社会压力作斗争,问自己:“如果我在说话时把词弄混了,他们会注意到吗?” 对于那些可能有这种想法的人,我要问你们:你们什么时候因为一个简单的发音错误而把某人痛骂一顿的呢?所以我给自己定了一个新的座右铭——没有人真的在乎。)”可知,全文围绕“过度自我意识、害怕他人评价”展开,作者的核心转变就是不再在意别人的眼光,为自己而活,这也是她想传递给读者的核心建议。故选B项。

37. to make
38. where 39. is
40. a 41. Living
42. It 43. scientists
44. until##till
45. reduction
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了小熊猫的外形、生活习性、食物、生存特点及现状。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意:虽然它们和大熊猫共用“熊猫”这个名字,但它们并非近亲。share...with...意为“与……分享……,与……有同样的……”,为固定搭配,share the name with...表示“与……同名”,所以此处应用介词with,。故填with。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:它们长有锋利的爪子,以便于轻松抓住树枝。此处应用非谓语动词作状语,表示目的,所以应用动词不定式。故填to make。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:小熊猫大部分时间都待在树上,在那里它们可以躲避危险动物,保证安全。空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词trees,从句中缺少地点状语,所以应用关系副词where来引导。故填where。
【39题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意:它们的食物主要是竹叶和竹笋。主语food为不可数名词,所以谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式,且句子描述的是客观事实,应用一般现在时。故填is。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:它们长有一根特殊的“伪拇指”,可以轻松握住竹子。此处表示泛指“一根特殊的‘伪拇指’”,应用不定冠词,且special是以辅音音素开头的单词,应用a。故填a。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:生活在寒冷的山区,它们也吃水果、昆虫和鸟蛋来补充能量。此处应用非谓语动词作状语,live和逻辑主语they之间为主动关系,所以应用现在分词作状语,句首单词首字母大写。故填Living。
【42题详解】
考查it作形式主语。句意:对它们来说,在冬天找到足够的食物很困难。此句是固定句型“It is adj. for sb to do...”,此处应用it作形式主语,真正的主语为动词不定式短语to find enough food in winter。故填It。
【43题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:许多科学家正尽最大努力保护它们。many后应用可数名词复数形式。故填scientists。
【44题详解】
考查连词。句意:小熊猫幼崽会和妈妈待在一起直到大约18个月大。空处引导时间状语从句,表示“直到”应用连词until/till。故填until/till。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意:它们数量的减少使其面临灭绝的风险。空处应填名词作主语,reduce的名词形式是reduction,为不可数名词。故填reduction。

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。
“Ka-boom!” Thunder resounded after lightning flashed across the sky. The rain poured down. I had to brave through the storm on the way home from school. I sighed. It just had to rain on the day I forgot to bring my umbrella. Thankfully, there was a taxi stand right ahead, where I could seek some shelter even for a brief moment. Before I could set off on the last part of my journey, I saw a familiar face approaching me with an umbrella. It was my brother coming to my rescue!
Holding the umbrella, we walked home, talking and laughing. Arriving home, we took off our shoes. Then I noticed my brother’s shoes were all wet, with water in them. These shoes were his favorite. He loved playing football very much. These shoes were especially suitable for playing football, so he wore them almost every day. Now they were worn out. I asked him, “Why don’t you ask parents to buy a new pair for you?”
He said, “I don’t want to be a burden, so I haven’t mentioned it to anyone. Although these shoes are a bit old, I can put up with them. Please, my dear sister, don’t tell parents about it.” “You’re so nice. I won’t tell them. Let me dry your shoes first. Later I’ll make you some cookies. You can go to your room to do your homework.”
My heart ached for him, I knew how much he loved playing soccer and how important it was for him to have proper shoes to run and kick the ball. I remembered the kindness he had always shown me, and I knew I had to do something for him. As I promised, I didn’t mention it to my parents, but I knew what I would do next.
Paragraph 1: I secretly started to save up my pocket money and try to earn more.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: On the day of his birthday, I handed him a box decorated beautifully.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文1:
Paragraph 1: I secretly started to save up my pocket money. I spent less on my school lunch and I didn’t buy any snacks. I even took on a small part-time job to earn extra cash. On weekends, when I usually went out with my friends having fun, I helped my neighbours look after their kids. I put the money they gave me in my piggy bank (存钱罐). Every day, I would take out the money and count it. Day by day, the amount grew larger and it was enough for a gift. And my brother’s birthday was drawing near.
Paragraph 2: On the day of his birthday, I handed him a box decorated beautifully. When he opened the box, his eyes widened in surprise and joy. He took the shoes, examining them carefully, and said, “I didn’t expect this. You’re the best sister ever!” I hugged him tightly, feeling warmth spreading all over. “You’re the best brother of mine. I’m just returning the kindness you’ve given me.” I replied. Our bond has grown stronger ever since. The shoes became a symbol of our love and support, a reminder that no matter what challenges we faced, we could count on each other to overcome them.
参考范文2:
Paragraph 1: I secretly started to save up my pocket money. I gave up buying fancy (奢侈的) snacks and cute stationery (文具), squeezing every coin into my piggy bank. On weekends, I took extra part-time jobs: helping neighbors walk their dogs, delivering leaflets (送外卖), and even assisting in the school library. Every evening, I would empty the piggy bank and count the coins, my heart beating with excitement as the total grew. After two months of frugality (节俭) and hard work, I finally had enough to buy the pair of high-quality football shoes my brother had long admired. I wrapped them in colorful paper, my hands trembling with anticipation.
Paragraph 2: On the day of his birthday, I handed him a box decorated beautifully. His hands trembled as he untied the ribbon (解开丝带), and when he saw the brand-new football shoes inside, his eyes instantly welled up with tears. “You… you did this for me?” he choked out, pulling me into a warm hug. Later that afternoon, he put on the shoes and ran onto the football field, his steps lighter and more confident than ever. Watching him score a goal with a brilliant kick, I smiled, knowing that this small gift had not only fulfilled his wish but also woven our sibling love even tighter.

Ancient Cities to Visit in Italy
With the holding of the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, it is the perfect timing to explore some of Italy’s ancient cities.
● Matera — Prehistoric Cave City
Matera, known as “the oldest city in Italy”, features its stunning landscape, ancient cave dwellings, and rich history. Its unique cave systems are like beehives scattered on steep slopes, where houses, churches and even the entire neighborhood are carved into rocks. These man-made caves were originally used for food storage and later turned into people’s homes, forming an amazing inhabited cave city.
● Naples — Ancient City Beneath the Modern Streets
Naples is famous not only for its rich history and culture but also for the fascinating ancient heritage that lies beneath its modern streets. It had been a vital center of Latin cities before becoming part of the Roman Empire. You can walk through a well-preserved Roman theater and then sip coffee in a busy square above it, making Naples one of the most authentic urban time capsules in Italy.
● Agrigento — City of Temples
Agrigento was once one of the wealthiest Greek colonies in Sicily. Today, its Valley of the Temples is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, making it a must-see for travelers curious about ancient wonders. In the Valley, you can visit the Temple of Poseidon, one of several massive structures built for the gods. The Valley reveals the profound connection between the city and both Greek myths and religious traditions.
● Rome — Legendary Urban Life since 753 BC
The list of the ancient cities in Italy would be incomplete without Rome, the capital of the Roman Empire and a place of nearly unmatched influence. Though not the absolute oldest, Rome’s role in shaping Europe and its continuous habitation across centuries makes it legendary. You can learn more about ancient Roman culture while visiting the Theatre of Pompey, the Colosseum and the museums.
1. What is special about Matera?
A. It features cave dwellings.
B. It has beehives on steep slopes.
C. It is a wonderful place to store food.
D. It owns some natural cave systems.
2. Why is Naples called “an urban time capsule”?
A. It was a wealthy Greek colony.
B. It has the longest history in Italy.
C. It is famous for its temples of gods.
D It mixes ancient heritage with modern life.
3. What do Agrigento and Rome have in common?
A. Both are located near Sicily.
B. Both are windows to ancient cultures.
C. Both played a key role in the Roman Empire.
D. Both are not on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
B
What would life be like without commas (逗号)? It would be quite confusing. Take this simple sentence as an example: Let’s eat Dad! Without a comma, Dad becomes the food. Add comma, and Dad becomes a partner at dinner: Let’s eat, Dad! The comma enables people to have a better understanding of the sentence.
Here’s another example: Tom said Sarah stole the cake. Here, Sarah is the thief. But add a pair of commas, and Tom becomes the thief: Tom, said Sarah, stole the cake.
The examples above clearly show that people cannot do without commas in writing. Yet, the comma came from oral speeches. Long ago, most people could not read. They listened to the news or stories told by the people who gave speeches. The comma began as something to mark the resting place in a sentence. When reading, the speakers knew where to stop and take a breath.
In writing, commas are like shining red lights on the road. They require that you wait a moment before continuing. And don’t add a comma when you feel like it. There are rules that people shall not break. Learn them, and you won’t be eating anyone or making wrong changes.
4. Without commas, life would be ________.
A. frightening B. puzzling C. relaxing D. interesting
5. The author uses two examples in the passage to________.
A. tell jokes to readers B. show the importance of using commas
C. tell stories to readers D. show the difficulty of using commas
6. According to the last paragraph, we use commas by following________.
A. our feelings B. our speeches
C. certain rules D. some facts
7. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Commas Make Sentences Clear. B. Commas Make English Interesting.
C. Commas Make Writing Easy. D. Commas Make Speeches Surprising.

Li Ziqi is back! After more than three years’ break, one of China’s most beloved influencers, who had been celebrated worldwide for her description of rural Chinese life through videos, returned on Nov 12.
Li marked her comeback with two new videos. One details how she transformed a shed into a woodland coatroom while the other demonstrates the process of making wardrobe doors using the intangible cultural heritage of Chinese lacquer-ware (漆器) techniques. These videos quickly went viral on social media. By Nov 22, her lacquer-ware video had 140 million views on Sina Weibo.
Fans from around the globe expressed their excitement. “Three years! It’s been three years since you last updated! Do you know how I’ve survived these three years? You’re finally back! I’m so excited!” commented one Weibo user.
For Li, the past three years were an opportunity to delve deeply into Chinese traditional arts. “I traveled to more than 20 provinces, visiting over 100 intangible cultural heritage inheritors,” Li told Xinhua. She spoke with craftsmen, studied their skills and explored folk culture, learning about the stories, historical context and materials behind these crafts, all to share them with the world through her videos.
Although many vloggers have attempted to copy Li’s style during her absence, none have reached her level of popularity.
One key reason is the high quality of her videos. “Her videos show not only the production process of traditional Chinese cuisine and handicrafts but also the wisdom from nature and history,” praised Rednet. “She would spend several months making a single video. Her pursuit of perfection is difficult for many vloggers to copy.”
Moreover, fans admire the slow-paced rhythm of her content. “She is willing to slow down and focus on only one thing, which is healing in today’s noisy and fast-paced world,” noted one follower.
“People’s love for Li’s videos reflects modern individuals’ beautiful imagination of rural life and their longing for easiness,” commented Southern Weekly. “This shared value goes beyond time and circumstances.”
8. How did Li Ziqi officially return after her three-year break?
A. By holding a press conference on Nov. B. By going viral on social media.
C. By collaborating with other influencers. D. By releasing two new visual works.
9. Which can best replace the phrase “delve deeply into” underlined in paragraph 4?
A. Explore thoroughly. B. Get away from. C. Show interest in. D. Talk about deeply.
10. What makes Li Ziqi’s videos stand out from those of other vloggers?
A. The editing style of her videos. B. The quality and depth of her content.
C. The speed of her producing videos. D. Her wisdom from nature and history.
11. What do Li Ziqi’s videos mean to her viewers, according to Southern Weekly?
A. A love for Chinese handicrafts. B. A good knowledge of history.
C. A desire for a back-to-basics life. D. An escape from modern technology.
D
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been extremely conscious of myself — how others perceive and judge me. If you’ve ever taken a psychology class, the term “spotlight effect” may ring a bell. I lived under the imagined spotlight for years, constantly worried about my perceived intellect and looks.
If I made a wrong comment in class, I would think about the moment for days. A single spot on my face would make me want to lock myself home and never face humanity again. Growing up with social media increased the pressure to be perfect. I’ve spent embarrassing amounts of screen time on Instagram, zooming into each of my posts to see if I looked cool, fun or pretty enough.
My anxious thoughts took over my life. As I entered college, countless times I passed by an ad detailing an exciting event or job. However, I would grab these flyers only to let them gather dust. The lack of initiative was not due to laziness but fear of scrutiny. Without a familiar face, club meetings felt like an opportunity ripe for embarrassment. I knew I’d be placing myself among strangers, directly under their gaze.
I came to realize the extent to which my unfounded fear of judgment burdened me. If I’m reluctant to try new things, how can I experience my surroundings to their fullest? The spotlight effect is also a narrowing effect, limiting the vision you have of your possibilities because of social pressures.
A close friend once told me how he stepped out — he simply decided not to care about what others thought of him. His decision to live for himself confused me. I couldn’t imagine a world where I wasn’t constantly changing myself to meet others’ expectations or tirelessly trying to satisfy someone else in every relationship.
But eventually I took his advice — I vowed to live in a carefree way without fear of others’ attention. I allowed myself to work out at the gym during peak time, go to professors’ office hours and joined new clubs. Rest assured, I still fought with social pressures, asking myself, “What if they notice when I mix up my words while talking?” To all those who may sympathize with that thought, I’ll ask you this: when have you ever torn someone to pieces over a simple pronunciation mistake? So I adopted a new motto for myself — no one truly cares.
And the world didn’t explode and I’ve never once regretted being outside my comfort zone. I found myself applying for internships, making new friends and feeling less restrained by the self-imposed boundaries and more appreciative for my potential and abilities.
I still hesitate before speaking up, have to give myself a pep talk before a group conversation. Changing your mindset and habits is probably one of the hardest cycles to break. But as the new year begins, I promise you all that it is never that deep. Just remember: ________.

13. The highlighted word “scrutiny” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.

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。
“Ka-boom!” Thunder resounded after lightning flashed across the sky. The rain poured down. I had to brave through the storm on the way home from school. I sighed. It just had to rain on the day I forgot to bring my umbrella. Thankfully, there was a taxi stand right ahead, where I could seek some shelter even for a brief moment. Before I could set off on the last part of my journey, I saw a familiar face approaching me with an umbrella. It was my brother coming to my rescue!
Holding the umbrella, we walked home, talking and laughing. Arriving home, we took off our shoes. Then I noticed my brother’s shoes were all wet, with water in them. These shoes were his favorite. He loved playing football very much. These shoes were especially suitable for playing football, so he wore them almost every day. Now they were worn out. I asked him, “Why don’t you ask parents to buy a new pair for you?”
He said, “I don’t want to be a burden, so I haven’t mentioned it to anyone. Although these shoes are a bit old, I can put up with them. Please, my dear sister, don’t tell parents about it.” “You’re so nice. I won’t tell them. Let me dry your shoes first. Later I’ll make you some cookies. You can go to your room to do your homework.”
My heart ached for him, I knew how much he loved playing soccer and how important it was for him to have proper shoes to run and kick the ball. I remembered the kindness he had always shown me, and I knew I had to do something for him. As I promised, I didn’t mention it to my parents, but I knew what I would do next.
Paragraph 1: I secretly started to save up my pocket money and try to earn more.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: On the day of his birthday, I handed him a box decorated beautifully.
