Italy has more must-see sights than you could squeeze into a lifetime. With so much to do and see, most visitors can’t wait to wander around, taking in everything. Fortunately, getting around this slender, boot-shaped country is easy, thanks to superb transport services. Here’s what you need to know about getting around in Italy.
Travel by train for the stunning views in Italy
Italy boasts an extensive rail network spanning the length of the country, meaning most major cities-including Rome, Florence, Naples, Bologna and Palermo-are connected by regular train services. Best of all, you can sit back and soak in the gorgeous scenery in between them.
Buses are the most inexpensive way to explore Italy
Though slower than trains, buses are a cheaper form of transport in Italy, and they provide access to smaller towns and villages not served by Italy’s rail network. Buses are run by private companies with a web of routes that stretches to most places of the country.
Getting around by car means maximum freedom
Having a private vehicle in Italy means you can travel at your own pace and visit regions with minimal public transport, which is particularly handy in the mountains. Parking can be hard to find in urban areas and local drivers have a reputation for being impatient and quick to use their horns.
Cycling is a great way to explore the countryside in Italy
Cycling is a great way to explore every comer of villages and backroads in the countryside. It’s very popular in northern Italy, including in the Alps and Dolomites, but less so in the south. Bikes are not allowed on motorways but they can be carried on some ferries, and on regional trains displaying the bicycle logo.

B
I work at a company that has a large number of employees. I can’t say that I know them all by name, but I know my fair share of them and almost all of them know me. I’d say that’s the reason I’ve been able to reach this far in my career. It’s all based on one simple principle: I believe that every single person should be recognized, however small or simple that greeting is.
When I was about ten years old, I was walking down the street with my mother. She stopped to speak to Mr. Lee while I was busy throwing a rock towards the stop sign. I knew I could see Mr. Lee any time around the neighborhood, so I didn’t pay any attention to him. After we passed Mr. Lee, my mother stopped me and said something that has stuck with me from that day until now. She said, “Promise me this will be your last time to walk by somebody and not open up your mouth to speak, because even a dog can wag its tail when it passes you on the street.” That phrase sounds simple, yet influential enough to shape who I am.
At work, I always used to say hello to the founder of the company and ask him how our business was doing. After a few years of passing by the founder, I had the courage to ask him how far he thought I could go in his company. He said, “If you want to, you can get all the way to this seat.”
Now I’ve become vice president but that hasn’t changed the way I approach people. I still follow my mother’s advice. I speak to everyone I see, no matter where I am. I’ve learned that speaking to people creates a pathway into their world, and it lets them come into mine, too. The day you speak to someone who has their head down but lifts it up and smiles, you realize how powerful it is just to open your mouth and say, “Hello.”
4. Why did the author pay no attention to Mr. Lee
A. He had rude manners.
B. He could meet Mr. Lee regularly.
C. He was shy with adults.
D. He focused on throwing a rock busily.
5. What did the mother’s words imply
A. It was necessary to bring a dog.
B. Never speak to strangers on the street.
C. It was worthwhile to befriend Mr. Lee.
D Never pass anybody without greetings.
6. What do the underlined words “this seat” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. An empty seat in the office.
B. An important business deal.
C. The post of vice president on the board.
D. The position of the founder of the company.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Power of Hello
B. My Road to Success
C. The Influence from My Mom
D. My Advice on Career
C
A recent study conducted by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) showed that while sportsmanship among players has improved over the years, sportsmanship in the fans and parents has reduced. It has always interested me why people in the stands often feel they have invested more than the actual participants. Is it the time and money invested into private lessons and travel teams Is it the college scholarship we need our children to earn Is it the fear of seeing our kids fail In any event, we, as parents and fans, should all take a step back and determine if we are helping our kids, or undermining the experience.
As a father of four kids who enjoys participating in athletics, I have to remind myself that it is okay when my kid misses a shot, strikes out, or doesn’t play good enough defense. That fact is, it is their game and their experience, and my playing days are over. A good reminder for me when I feel that my kid needs my advice from the stands comes from the great John Wooden, basketball player and head coach at the University of California at Los Angeles. He once said, “Young people need models, not critics (批判者) .”
Instead of being upset with what my kid is not doing well, or how an official has “cheated” our team, I should focus on helping my kid learn to respect the other team. I should watch my language and the negative comments that could come from my mouth. I should respect the officials and not argue every call that is made. Perhaps most importantly, I should support my kids’ team, win or lose.
Life is tough, and life is not fair. Like life, sports are tough and not always fair. Yet sports can be a wonderful training ground for life’s challenges. Just like we win some and lose some in sports, we also deal with plenty of successes, challenges and failures in our lives. Let’s try to be good sports in both the winning and losing situations and during our successes, challenges and failures.
8. Why does the author mention NCAA’s recent study
A. To introduce the topic of sportsmanship.
B. To prove the reduction of sportsmanship.
C. To stress the experience of sportsmanship
D. To show the improvement of sportsmanship
9. What does the underlined word “invested” mean in paragraph 1
A. Profited. B. Absorbed. C. Devoted. D. Harvested.
10. What should parents do to encourage sportsmanship according to the text
A. Express deep concern about the other teams’ skills.
B. Make positive comments on their kids’ performance.
C. Back their kids’ team whatever the result of athletics is.
D. Respect the other players’ honor whatever cheating happens.
11. Which words can best describe the author
A. Modest and demanding.
B. Strict and responsible.
C. Kind and warm-hearted.
D. Understanding and broad-minded.
D
The idea of humans causing earthquakes may seem strange at first. After all, you can run around your backyard and jump up and down all you want, and the ground isn’t going to start shaking. However, scientists have identified over 700 places where human activity has brought about earthquakes over the last century.
While many human-caused earthquakes are mild and don’t cause much damage, some of them can be serious and dangerous. In fact, scientists believe human activity has caused earthquakes with magnitudes as high as 7.9 on the Richter scale.
Scientists believe most human-caused earthquakes are the result of mining. As companies drill deeper and deeper below Earth’s surface to take out natural resources, holes left behind can cause instability which leads to a sudden falling down that causes earthquakes. Building large dams can also cause earthquakes. For example, about 80,000 people died in China in 2008 as a result of a 7.9-magnitude earthquake caused by 320 million tons of water that had been collected in the Zipingpu Reservoir after a large dam was built over a known fault line(断层线).
Anther human activity leading to earthquakes is hydraulic fracturing (水力压裂) for oil and gas. In this process, water, sand, and chemicals are forced to flow underground under high pressure to fracture rocks to let natural resources out. As those resources, such as oil and natural gas, make their way to the surface, so do the water and chemicals that were injected to begin the process. This wastewater is collected and often transported to deep underground again. Both the fracking process and wastewater have been shown to cause earthquakes.
These aren’t the only human activities that can cause earthquakes, though. Scientists point out that earthquakes can also be caused by other human activities.
12. How does human activity cause earthquakes according to the text
A. Large dams are built away from the fault line.
B. The wastewater of hydraulic fracturing joins large rivers.
C. Mining leads to the deeper holes left below the Earth’s surface.
D. Hydraulic fracturing makes natural resources flow underground.
13. How does the author organize the text
A. By giving examples.
B. By making comparisons.
C. By presenting opinions.
D. By providing instructions.
14. What is the writing purpose of the text
A. To remind people to stop the above-mentioned activities.
B. To inform readers of human activities causing earthquakes.
C. To explain the reasons for many earthquakes in recent years.
D. To present the damage of human-caused earthquakes to the earth.

After we passed Mr. Lee, my mother stopped me and said something that has stuck with me from that day until now. She said, “Promise me this will be your last time to walk by somebody and not open up your mouth to speak, because even a dog can wag its tail when it passes you on the street.” That phrase sounds simple, yet influential enough to shape who I am.
At work, I always used to say hello to the founder of the company and ask him how our business was doing. After a few years of passing by the founder, I had the courage to ask him how far he thought I could go in his company. He said, “If you want to, you can get all the way to this seat.”
Now I’ve become vice president, but that hasn’t changed the way I approach people. I still follow my mother’s advice. I speak to everyone I see, no matter where I am. I’ve learned that speaking to people creates a pathway into their world, and it lets them come into mine, too. The day you speak to someone who has their head down but lifts it up and smiles, you realize how powerful it is just to open your mouth and say, “Hello.”
4. Why did the author pay no attention to Mr. Lee
A. He had rude manners.
B. He could meet Mr. Lee regularly.
C. He was shy with adults.
D. He focused on throwing a rock busily.
5. What did the mother’s words imply
A. It was necessary to bring a dog.
B. Never speak to strangers on the street.
C. It was worthwhile to befriend Mr. Lee.
D. Never pass anybody without greetings.
6. What do the underlined words “this seat” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. An empty seat in the office.
B. An important business deal.
C. The post of vice president on the board.
D. The position of the founder of the company.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text

细节理解题。根据第二段“She stopped to speak to Mr. Lee while I was busy throwing a rock towards the stop sign. I knew I could see Mr. Lee any time around the neighborhood, so I didn’t pay any attention to him. (当我正忙着向停车标志扔石头时,她停下来和李先生说话。我知道我随时都能在附近看到李先生,所以我没有注意他。)”可知,作者能经常见到李先生,所以光顾着玩,没有跟李先生打招呼。故选B项。

(现在我已经是副总裁了,但这并没有改变我与人打交道的方式)”可知,那位创始人认为,以作者的能力和交际能力,今后能做到他的那个位置,而作者一路晋升,目前已经到副总裁的位置了,依旧注意和人打招呼,还有晋升的潜能。由此可知this seat指公司创始人的职位。故选D项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“I can’t say that I know them all by name, but I know my fair share of them and almost all of them know me. I’d say that’s the reason I’ve been able to reach this far in my career. It’s all based on one simple principle: I believe that every single person should be recognized, however small or simple that greeting is. (我不能说我知道他们所有人的名字,但我知道他们中相当一部分人,他们几乎都认识我。我想说,这就是我能在职业生涯中走得这么远的原因。这一切都基于一个简单的原则:我相信每个人都应该被认出来,不管问候是多么小或简单。)”,以及最后一段“The day you speak to someone who has their head down but lifts it up and smiles, you realize how powerful it is just to open your mouth and say, ‘Hello.’ (当你和一个低着头,抬起头微笑的人说话时,你就会意识到仅仅张开嘴说一声‘你好’是多么有力量。)”可知,文章通过作者在生活中时刻注意和人打招呼这个小小的举动,在工作中一路晋升,作者得出感悟:一声“你好”在人际交流时非常有力量。故The Power of Hello适合作为标题。故选A项。

A recent study conducted by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) showed that while sportsmanship among players has improved over the years, sportsmanship in the fans and parents has reduced. It has always interested me why people in the stands often feel they have invested more than the actual participants. Is it the time and money invested into private lessons and travel teams Is it the college scholarship we need our children to earn Is it the fear of seeing our kids fail In any event, we, as parents and fans, should all take a step back and determine if we are helping our kids, or undermining the experience.
As a father of four kids who enjoys participating in athletics, I have to remind myself that it is okay when my kid misses a shot, strikes out, or doesn’t play good enough defense. That fact is, it is their game and their experience, and my playing days are over. A good reminder for me when I feel that my kid needs my advice from the stands comes from the great John Wooden, basketball player and head coach at the University of California at Los Angeles. He once said, “Young people need models, not critics (批判者) .”
Instead of being upset with what my kid is not doing well, or how an official has “cheated” our team, I should focus on helping my kid learn to respect the other team. I should watch my language and the negative comments that could come from my mouth. I should respect the officials and not argue every call that is made. Perhaps most importantly, I should support my kids’ team, win or lose.
Life is tough, and life is not fair. Like life, sports are tough and not always fair. Yet sports can be a wonderful training ground for life’s challenges. Just like we win some and lose some in sports, we also deal with plenty of successes, challenges and failures in our lives. Let’s try to be good sports in both the winning and losing situations and during our successes, challenges and failures.
8. Why does the author mention NCAA’s recent study
A. To introduce the topic of sportsmanship.
B. To prove the reduction of sportsmanship.
C. To stress the experience of sportsmanship
D. To show the improvement of sportsmanship
9. What does the underlined word “invested” mean in paragraph 1
A. Profited. B. Absorbed. C. Devoted. D. Harvested.
10. What should parents do to encourage sportsmanship according to the text
A. Express deep concern about the other teams’ skills.
B. Make positive comments on their kids’ performance.
C. Back their kids’ team whatever the result of athletics is.
D. Respect the other players’ honor whatever cheating happens.
11. Which words can best describe the author

The idea of humans causing earthquakes may seem strange at first. After all, you can run around your backyard and jump up and down all you want, and the ground isn’t going to start shaking. However, scientists have identified over 700 places where human activity has brought about earthquakes over the last century.
While many human-caused earthquakes are mild and don’t cause much damage, some of them can be serious and dangerous. In fact, scientists believe human activity has caused earthquakes with magnitudes as high as 7.9 on the Richter scale.
Scientists believe most human-caused earthquakes are the result of mining. As companies drill deeper and deeper below Earth’s surface to take out natural resources, holes left behind can cause instability which leads to a sudden falling down that causes earthquakes. Building large dams can also cause earthquakes. For example, about 80,000 people died in China in 2008 as a result of a 7.9-magnitude earthquake caused by 320 million tons of water that had been collected in the Zipingpu Reservoir after a large dam was built over a known fault line(断层线).
Anther human activity leading to earthquakes is hydraulic fracturing (水力压裂) for oil and gas. In this process, water, sand, and chemicals are forced to flow underground under high pressure to fracture rocks to let natural resources out. As those resources, such as oil and natural gas, make their way to the surface, so do the water and chemicals that were injected to begin the process. This wastewater is collected and often transported to deep underground again. Both the fracking process and wastewater have been shown to cause earthquakes.
These aren’t the only human activities that can cause earthquakes, though. Scientists point out that earthquakes can also be caused by other human activities.
12. How does human activity cause earthquakes according to the text
A. Large dams are built away from the fault line.
B. The wastewater of hydraulic fracturing joins large rivers.
C. Mining leads to the deeper holes left below the Earth’s surface.
D. Hydraulic fracturing makes natural resources flow underground.
13. How does the author organize the text
A. By giving examples.
B. By making comparisons.
C. By presenting opinions.
D. By providing instructions.
14. What is the writing purpose of the text
A. To remind people to stop the above-mentioned activities.
B. To inform readers of human activities causing earthquakes.
C. To explain the reasons for many earthquakes in recent years.
D. To present the damage of human-caused earthquakes to the earth.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍的是一些地震是人类活动造成的,并介绍了哪些人类活动会造成地震。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Scientists believe most human-caused earthquakes are the result of mining.

(科学家认为,大多数人为地震都是采矿造成的。随着公司在地表以下钻得越来越深以开采自然资源,留下的洞会引起不稳定,从而导致突然下降,引发地震)”可知,采矿导致地球表面下留下更深的洞,从而引起地震。故选C项。

Scientists point out that earthquakes can also be caused by other human activities.(不过,这些并不是唯一会导致地震的人类活动。科学家指出,地震也可能是由其他人类活动引起的)”可知,本文主要目的是告知读者引起地震的人类活动有那些。故选B项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了汉语的文字体系和发挥的历史作用。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意:汉字书写系统是中国古代文明得以延续的主要因素之一。分析句意再根据空格前的形容词ancient可知,此处用提示词的名词形式。故填civilisation。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:最初,书面汉语是一种以图画为基础的语言,这可以追溯到几千年前龙鼓的使用。分析句意结构可知,此处是非限制性定语从句,且从句中缺少主语,所以用关系代词which来引导。故填which。
【42题详解】
考查被动语态。句意:中国古人把符号刻在动物的骨头和贝壳上。分析句意可知,本句时态为一般过去时,且carve和主语Symbols之间是被动关系,所以用一般过去时的被动语态,又因为主语是复数名词,所以be动词用were。故填were carved。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意:多年来,中国人民曾在地理上被划分,导致了许多不同的方言和文字。分析句意再根据空格前的many可知,此处应该用提示词的复数形式。故填varieties。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:然而,在秦始皇的统治下,这种情况发生了变化,他将七个主要国家统一为一个统一的国家,使中国的文字系统开始朝着一个方向发展。分析句意可知,此处上下文之间是转折关系,故填however。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:同上。分析句意结构可知,此处用非谓语动词作结果状语,再分析句意,此处指顺理成章的结果,所以用现在分词作状语。故填making。
【46题详解】
考查介词。句意:它对团结中国人民和文化具有重要意义。分析句意可知,此处用介词of构成固定搭配be of+抽象名词=形容词,所以此处用be of importance=important。故填of。
【47题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:即使在今天,无论中国人生活在哪里,说什么方言,他们都可以用书面汉语进行交流。分析句意再根据空格后的Chinese可知,此处用过去分词作定语构成短语written Chinese表示“书面汉语”符合语境。故填written。
【48题详解】
考查冠词。句意:时至今日,汉字仍然是中国文化的重要组成部分。分析句意可知,此处用不定冠词表示泛指“一个”重要组成部分,又因为important是以元音因素开头,所以用an。故填an。
【49题详解】
考查形容词。句意:随着中国在全球事务中发挥越来越大的作用,越来越多的国际学生开始通过这门神奇的语言来欣赏中国的文化和历史。分析句式结构可知,修饰名词affairs应该用形容词,所以此处填提示词的形容词形式。故填global。

50. 自从大学毕业以来,他一直在申请工作。(graduate;apply)(汉译英)
【答案】Since he graduated from college/university, he has kept applying for jobs.
【解析】
【详解】考查动词,从句和时态。分析可知,句子为since引导的时间状语从句,表示“从……毕业”为graduate from,这一动作发生在过去,所以用一般过去时,表示“大学”可译为college或者university,表示“一直做某事”为keep doing sth.,这一动作从过去持续到现在,有可能持续下去,所以用现在完成时,注意主谓一致,表示“申请”用apply for,表示“工作”译为jobs。故翻译为Since he graduated from college/university, he has kept applying for jobs.
51. 为国家赢得奖牌对我来说是一个极大的荣誉。(honor;medal) (汉译英)
【答案】It is a great honor for me to win a medal for my country.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型和时态。固定句型 It be + n. for sb to do sth 意为:对某人来说做某事是……,It是形式主语,动词不定式to do sth为真正的主语;由句意,本句应用一般现在时,表示客观事实,结合英文提示词honor(荣誉),medal(奖牌),本句可译为:It is a great honor for me to win a medal for my country。
52. 无论你什么时候来中国,你都会被中国的风景所吸引。(no matter;attract) (汉译英)
【答案】No matter when you pay a visit to/visit China, you will be attracted by/to the scenery in China.
【解析】
【详解】考查时态,从句和动词。分析句子和提示可知,用no matter when引导时间状语从句,根据主将从现原则,从句用一般现在时,主句用一般将来时,从句主语you,谓语动词pay a visit to或者visit,表示“拜访”,宾语China,主句主语you,根据提示,谓语动词用attract“吸引”,与主语you是被动关系,be attracted by/to“被……所吸引”,the scenery“风景”作宾语,in China“在中国”作地点状语,故译为No matter when you pay a visit to/visit China, you will be attracted by/to the scenery in China.

【答案】As a result of/Due to/Because of/Owing to habitat loss/loss of habitat, many species are dying out.
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和短语。“由于”可译为as a result of/Due to/Because of/Owing to,“栖息地的丧失”译为 habitat loss/loss of habitat,作介词宾语,主语many species“许多物种”,用复数,谓语动词用复数,根据提示die out“灭绝”作谓语,根据句意,用现在进行时表示将来,故译为As a result of/Due to/Because of/Owing to habitat loss/loss of habitat, many species are dying out.
54. 人们正在采取有效的措施来保护我们的文化遗产。(现在进行时被动语态;measure) (汉译英)
【答案】Effective measures are being taken to protect/preserve our cultural heritage/relics.
【解析】
【详解】考查现在进行时被动语态。表示“有效措施”应为effective measures,根据要求,谓语动词用现在进行时的被动语态应为be being taken,主语为effective measures,为名词复数,故be动词用are;表示“保护文化遗产”应为protect/preserve our cultural heritage/relics,在句子中做目的状语,用动词不定式。故翻译为:Effective measures are being taken to protect/preserve our cultural heritage/relics.
55. 每个学生都应该意识到他们需要为自己的行为负责。(aware;responsible) (汉译英)
【答案】Every/Each student should be aware that they need to be responsible for their own behavior.
【解析】
【详解】考查名词、动词和短语。根据句意可知,表示“每一个”可用代词every或each,且位于句首时首字母要大写;表示“学生”可用名词student作主语;表示“应该”可用情态动词should;表示“意识到……”可be aware that+从句;表示“他们”可用代词they在从句中作主语;表示“需要作某事”可用固定短语need to do sth;表示“对……负责”可用短语be responsible for;表示“他们自己的行为”可用短语heir own behavior。故答案为Every/Each student should be aware that they need to be responsible for their own behavior。
56. 洪水冲毁了大桥,这使得运送补给品十分困难。(定语从句;destroy) (汉译英)
【答案】The flood(s) destroyed the bridge(s), which made it difficult/challenging/tough to deliver/transport supplies.
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态,定语从句和动词。根据句意,用一般过去时,主语the flood(s)“洪水”,根据提示,谓语用destroy“毁坏”,宾语the bridge“大桥”,表示特指用定冠词修饰,指代前文整句话,用关系代词which引导定语从句,从句中作主语,可译为“这”,“使得……困难”译为make...difficult/challenging/tough,宾语用形式宾语it,真正的宾语“运送补给品”用不定式短语to deliver/transport supplies,故译为The flood(s) destroyed the bridge(s), which made it difficult/challenging/tough to deliver/transport supplies.
