It’s quite hard to make a list of the most beautiful cities to visit in Italy, as every city in Italy has its own look and unique atmosphere. However some of them are more popular than the others. And here is the list of them.
Venice
Venice, a unique city built over the water, is one of Italy’s most beautiful and romantic cities. The heart of Venice is Piazza San Marco with its magnificent church, Saint Mark’s Basilica.

When asked what his father did for a living, my son explained to his kindergarten teacher that “he steals things, but it’s O.K. because he gets paid to do it.”
He wasn’t wrong.
I’m a hacker(黑客), and I run a team of hackers. We spend our days discovering ways to break into anything that can connect to the Internet, to access information never meant to be seen. If we get to it before a criminal does, then we’ve done our job.
I’m proud of what I do for a living, just like doctors or lawyers are proud of the work they do. In Hollywood, hackers are often described as hooded(戴着兜帽的) figures in dark rooms involved in illegal activity while tapping keyboards. Actually, hackers are expert at programming and problem-solving with panies hire hackers to find their breaking point before criminals do.
Hacking is an activity, and what separates any activity from a crime is permission. Drivers are free to drive, but they do not have permission to drive 150 miles per hour—that’s illegal. Bankers can transfer their clients’ money, but if they do so without permission, that’s illegal.
Hacking isn’t an inherently(本质上) criminal activity. Someone who involves in the illegal use of hacking should not be called a “bad hacker” but a “threat actor”. Hackers are people like me and my team at IBM—security professionals.
Hackers play a critical role in keeping companies and people safe. At IBM, one thing my team does is hack autonomous vehicles, planes and trains to make sure that every possible security weakness is found and corrected before each machine is shipped. Imagine what bad things could happen without us.
24.Why did the author mention his son’s words in paragraph 1

A.Hackers can both be males and females.
B.Hackers can ensure a company’s security.
C.Hackers are usually considered as criminals.
D.Hackers are extremely proud of what they do.
26.What do we know about hacking
A. Hacking is an inherently criminal activity.
B. Permission plays an important role in hacking.
C. Professional skills are not necessary for hacking.
D. Hacking involves breaking into shops and houses.
27. What’s the purpose of the passage
A. To introduce the job of hackers. B. To attract more hackers to IBM.
C. To stress the importance of hackers. D. To compare hacking with other jobs.
C
What comes into your mind when you think of British food Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting Even though Britain has a reputation for less-than-impressive cuisine, it is producing more top class chefs who appear frequently on our television screens and whose recipe books frequently top the best seller lists.
It’s thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits. It is recently reported that the number of those sticking to a traditional diet is slowly declining and around half of Britain’s consumers would like to change or improve their cooking in some way. There has been a rise in the number of students applying for food courses at UK universities and colleges. It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking.
According to a new study from market analysts, 1 in 5 Britons say that watching cookery programmes on TV has encouraged them to try different food. Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients (配料) than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before. One in four adults say that TV chefs have made them much more confident about expanding their cookery knowledge and skills, and young people are also getting more interested in cooking. The UK’s obsession (痴迷) with food is reflected through television scheduling. Cookery shows and documentaries about food are broadcast more often than before. With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it’s no longer “uncool” for boys to like cooking.
28. What do people usually think of British food
A. It is simple and plain. B. It is rich in nutrition.
C. It lacks authentic tastes. D. It deserves a high reputation.
29. Which best describes cookery programme on British TV
A. Authoritative. B. Creative. C. Profitable. D. Influential.
30. Which is the percentage of the people using more diverse ingredients now
A. 20%. B. 24%. C. 25%. D. 33%.
31. What might the author continue talking about
A. The art of cooking in other countries. B. Male chefs on TV programmes.
C. Table manners in the UK. D. Studies of big eaters.
D
136 types of seeds, including crops, forest vegetation, flowers, and microorganisms will be carried on board the Shenzhou-16 manned spacecraft to start their space breeding journey. These seeds will contribute to the advancement of China's agricultural science and technology and enhance food security, the China Manned Space Engineering Office announced on Wednesday in a statement.
The seeds were selected through a four-month application and review process and have been chosen from 53 institutions across the country. The project, conducted by manned spaceflight, is of a public welfare nature and does not charge any carrying fees. It has been 36 years since China’s first space seed breeding effort in 1987, the country has sent the seeds of hundreds of plant species into space on dozens of retrievable satellites(返回式卫星) and Shenzhou spaceships. Nearly 1,000 new species have been created, of which 200 have displayed outstanding performances, according to media reports.
Space seed breeding uses cosmic radiation (宇宙辐射) to mutate the genes of seeds sent into space, in order to create new species for greater variety. “Space peppers and watermelons” commonly found in supermarkets in China are successful varieties of space breeding.
China ranks first in the world in the number of cultivated varieties and the range of popularization and application of space breeding. The area under cultivation for grains, vegetables, fruits and other plants developed by space seed breeding has surpassed 4 million hectares, and generated economic benefits of over 200 billion yuan ($30.51 billion), media earlier reported.
The seeds need further improvement, especially in disease resistance, through conventional breeding methods and space breeding, the Xinhua News Agency reported.
Space breeding involves exposing seeds and strains to cosmic radiation and microgravity during a spaceflight mission to mutate their genes.
China’s space seed breeding level also reflects the nation's advancing aerospace technology, Li Guoxiang, a researcher at the Rural Development Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times. And he added, “There are only a few countries in the world with mature aerospace technology, and China’s level of space seed breeding technology is world-class.”
32. What does the underlined word “mutate” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Change B. Destroy C. Infect D. Enhance
33. What do Chinese authorities need to do to further improve the seeds
A. Increase the number of seeds sent into space.
B. Cultivate new species through genetic mutation.
C. Combine space breeding with traditional breeding methods.
D. Use more advanced aerospace technology to breed seeds in space.
34. What achievement is an example of China’s space seed breeding project
A. The seeds are now capable of resisting diseases.
B. It has successfully cultivated over 1,000 new species.
C. The project has mutated thousands of plant genes in space.
D. China’s space seed breeding technology is the world's best.
35. What is the best title for this article
A. Space Breeding: China’s Leading Role in Agricultural Science
B. Space Breeding: A breakthrough in China’s genetic technology
C. Space Breeding: Benefits and Risks for China’s Future Agriculture
D. Space Breeding: A contribution to China’s agricultural technology and food security

Here come some of the ways to keep delighted and a healthy mood by Harvard.
Be grateful and say thanks often
36 — the tiny purple flowers on the sidewalk, the beautiful sunset, and the smile in your partner’s eyes. When you have a grateful heart that is appreciative of life’s beauty, wonder and blessings, you’re automatically filled with delight. Always be appreciative of the blessings in your life. And it's equally important to express your appreciation to those who’ve made your life better in some way.
37
If your tendency is to imagine the very worst case whenever you have trouble, train yourself to change that tendency. Ask yourself what good can come from the situation or what you can learn from it. Optimism surely fuels success and delight. 38 Try to find humor and laughter in life’s everyday struggles.
Understand and forgive
Step into others’ shoes and understand a situation from others’ perspective, and we’re more likely to handle the situation with objectivity and effectiveness. There will be less conflicts and more delight.
Hate and anger are forms of self-punishment. When you forgive, you’re actually practicing kindness to yourself. Most importantly, learn to forgive yourself. Everyone makes mistakes.__39 .
Keep learning and be a problem solver
Learning keeps us young and alive. When engaging our brains and putting them toward productive uses, we’re much more likely to feel delighted and fulfilled.
Delighted people are problem solvers. When facing a challenge in life, they don’t beat themselves up and fall into a depressive state. 40 . By becoming a problem solver, you’ll build up your self-confidence and your ability to accomplish whatever you set to.
A. Be optimistic and laugh often.
B. Pay attention to the little details in your life.
C. Do what you love freely and live happily in the present.
D. Laughter is the most powerful treatment for anger or depression.
E. It’s through our mistakes that we learn and grow to be bigger and better.
F. Only by making mistakes repeatedly will we realize it is normal to make mistakes.
G. Instead, they face the challenge and channel their energies into finding a creative solution.

67. 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。
Chris and Paul were good friends and on the same school basketball team-The Lions. They loved basketball very much and were both huge fans of the NBA. After school, when they weren’t playing on the court which was next to their building, they were watching a basketball game on TV. Chris’s favourite player was LeBron James. Paul’s favourite player was Tyrone Bogues, although they actually agreed that they were both champions.
Bogues was only 1.6 meters tall, which made him the shortest player ever in the NBA. Guess what Paul was only 1.6 meters tall, too! Paul knew that being shorter than other players meant that he had to practice more. He did not miss a single practice and participated in every training. During all those hours of doing jump shots on his own, he used Bogues as his inspiration. Paul once said firmly, “If Bogues could make it, why not me ”
Their coach was not so sure. Paul had to try out many times just for making the team. He was still usually on the bench, being just a replacement, which was really tough on him. Everyone knew Paul had real skills, and was someone who worked really hard and had a strong desire to play for the team. Chris always comforted him and encouraged him, telling him not to give up. However, Paul didn’t get a chance.
This week, The Lions were playing against their main competitors, The Bears, a team whose record this season had been perfect. They hadn’t lost a single game. It would be a tough one.
Everyone of the Lions played to the best of their abilities. Suddenly, a player and Chris crashed into each other. Pain raced through Chris’s body. His knee hurt badly. The team gathered around, looking worried. The last quarter was about to begin, and The Lions was behind by 10 points.
注意：（1）续写词数应为150左右；
（2）开头已给出。
“You can’t play anymore,” the doctor said, putting an ice pack on Chris’s knee.
The coach agreed, “Paul, it’s your time to shine”.仁寿一中南校区2022级高二上12月月考
