Italy is a wonderful destination in the world. This Italy trip-planning guide tells you where to go, what to see, and most importantly, what to eat!

On March 1, Dr. Dituri began a project to stay for 100 days at a special hotel called Jules’s Undersea Lodge 30 feet under the ocean surface in a conservation area in Key Largo.
The farther you go below the ocean’s surface, the greater the pressure. Dr. Dituri wanted to learn how this pressure would affect the human body over time. He believes that high pressure could help people live longer and stay healthier as they get older. It could also help doctors treat different medical problems, including brain injuries.
While he was living underwater, Dr. Dituri still stayed busy daily according to his schedule. He often exercised in the morning. He kept teaching his college classes virtually and had online chats with over 5,500 students from 15 different countries. He also worked with ocean experts to figure out ways to preserve the ocean. He even had a number of visitors who dove down to spend a little time with him.
On June 9, De. Dituri returned to the surface with a new world record, beating the old record of 73 days. Many friends, family and other supporters were there to greet him and celebrate his success. Doctors quickly checked him out to make sure he was okay. Actually, Dr. Dturi went through several big changes. For one thing, he became 1.3 centimeters shorter during his time in the higher undersea pressure. Sleeping much better, his health greatly improved in a couple of ways. Dr. Dituri and his team plan to study the information they collected during the project. In November, Dr. Dituri will speak at an important medical meeting in Scotland about the discoveries the scientists made during the project.
Dr. Dituri says his favorite part of the project was talking with young people. “Who knows ” he said. “Maybe one day, one of them will come back and break the record we just set. My greatest hope is that I have inspired a new generation of explorers and researchers to push past all boundaries.”
4. What is Jules’s Undersea Lodge special for
A. Its location. B. Its reputation.
C. Its convenience. D. Its luxuriousness.
5. Why did Dr. Dituri decide to stay long in the hotel
A. To treat his brain injuries. B. To live longer and healthier.
C. To deal with medical problems. D. To test one of his academic ideas.
6. Which statement best describes Dr. Dituri’s undersea life
A. He was busy with medical experiments.
B. He kept a daily routine almost as usual.
C. He led a dull life separated from other people.
D. He set a world record of living 73 days underwater.
7. What does Dr. Dituri wish young people to do
A. Communicate more with him B. Explore the unknown bravely.
C. Meet at the conference in Scotland. D. Study the information of the project.
C
Each year, more than 27 million American and Canadian kids get to school by bus. Most of those buses run on diesel (柴油) fuel, which give out pollution that riders can take in. Pollution levels can be several times higher inside a diesel school bus than outside it. Why Pollution can leak in from the floor or blow in through windows.
An American government program started in 2012 offered schools money spent on cleaner school buses, but not all schools could get it. Five years later, emissions from buses in the winning districts fell. And a year after getting new buses, student attendance had improved in those districts. For an average district of 10,000 students, about six more students attended school each day in the winning districts, compared to the losing districts. Winning schools with higher rates of bus-riding kids had an average of 14 more students in class each day. And winning districts that replaced the oldest school buses They had an average of 45 more students at school each day.
Those numbers may sound small, but they add up. And school attendance matters for students’ achievements. Almost 3 million American kids ride school buses more than 20 years old. If American school districts had replaced all of those older buses, there would have been 1.3 million fewer student absences each year.
There might be other reasons for better attendance. For example, maybe kids preferred new buses. However, the most likely reason for fewer student absences was better health. A study done on adults showed that a brief exposure to diesel emissions reduced “network connectivity” in the brain. In other studies, such network-connectivity changes have been linked to worsened memory and mental tasks. A Washington State program upgraded pollution controls in old diesel buses. Afterward, fewer kids were hospitalized in those districts than in the schools without bus upgrades.
Almost all American school districts can apply for the program. But schools in low-income, tribal and rural areas will get priority. Kids in these areas tend to face the most health risks from older buses.
8. What can we infer about diesel school buses from the first paragraph
A They operate cost-effectively.
B They have a short service life.
C. They accommodate few passengers.
D. They do much harm to school children.
9. Why is the increase in school attendance small but important
A. It is a winning condition. B. It is a measuring standard.
C. It is a long accumulation. D. It is a student’s achievement.
10. How can the bus replacement bring better student attendance
A. By reducing the network connectivity.
B. By bettering the health state of students.
C. By meeting students’ demand for school drivers.
D. By improving students’ satisfaction with schools.
11. What does the author say about the program in the last paragraph
A. It tends to fail in some areas.
B. It is at risk of being interrupted.
C. It will start from underdeveloped areas.
D. It has been carried out in all American schools.
D
For some climate challenges, there are relatively straightforward fixes. For example, renewable energy sources can already replace much of the energy needed to power buildings, cars and more.
There’s no substitute for food, but shifting what we eat is possible. If everyone on the planet ate vegetables, greenhouse gas emissions from the food system could be cut by more than half; a planet of vegetarians would reduce food emissions by two thirds. If we stopped consuming conventional food and relied on a lab-grown nutritional food instead of soil or water-produced food, we could prevent about 1 degree centigrade of future warming, according to a recent paper that considered the unique thought experiment.
“What this work says is: Hey, look, we can still get pretty big wins even if we’re not making these really big changes in dietary composition,” says Clark. “I think that’s really powerful, because a lot of people just don’t want to make those really big dietary changes, for many reasons. While vegetarian diets are becoming more common in America and some European countries, it’s absolutely ridiculous to assume that everyone will be eating a vegetarian diet 30 years from now,” he says.
Food choices are personal, deeply connected to cultural, religious, emotional, economic concerns and so much more. “Rather than dictate how to do it, it’s much better to try to give choices,” says Naglaa, a food, nutrition and environment researcher at Tufts University. This approach aims to inform people so that they can make choices that correspond with their needs and values instead of waiting for the authority’s rules and orders. As a whole, those choices can benefit both human health and the planet. For that to happen, it is necessary to work alongside large-scale efforts to reshape industrial food production.
“But what people choose to eat daily is far from insignificant,” says Clark. “We don’t all have to become vegetarians overnight. Small changes can make a big difference.”
12. How does the author show the effects of dietary changes in paragraph 2
A. By analyzing the reasons. B. By using a quotation.
C. By answering questions. D. By listing data.
13. What is Clark’s attitude towards small dietary changes
A. Indifferent. B. Skeptical. C. Favorable. D. Negative.
14. What does the underlined word “dictate” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Command. B. Persuade. C. Perceive. D. Describe.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. How small changes to our diets can benefit the planet
B. Small changes in life choices can make a big difference
C. Why renewable energy sources can reduce gas emissions
D. Lab-grown nutritional food could prevent future warming

Each year, more than 27 million American and Canadian kids get to school by bus. Most of those buses run on diesel (柴油) fuel, which give out pollution that riders can take in. Pollution levels can be several times higher inside a diesel school bus than outside it. Why Pollution can leak in from the floor or blow in through windows.
An American government program started in 2012 offered schools money spent on cleaner school buses, but not all schools could get it. Five years later, emissions from buses in the winning districts fell. And a year after getting new buses, student attendance had improved in those districts. For an average district of 10,000 students, about six more students attended school each day in the winning districts, compared to the losing districts. Winning schools with higher rates of bus-riding kids had an average of 14 more students in class each day. And winning districts that replaced the oldest school buses They had an average of 45 more students at school each day.
Those numbers may sound small, but they add up. And school attendance matters for students’ achievements. Almost 3 million American kids ride school buses more than 20 years old. If American school districts had replaced all of those older buses, there would have been 1.3 million fewer student absences each year.
There might be other reasons for better attendance. For example, maybe kids preferred new buses. However, the most likely reason for fewer student absences was better health. A study done on adults showed that a brief exposure to diesel emissions reduced “network connectivity” in the brain. In other studies, such network-connectivity changes have been linked to worsened memory and mental tasks. A Washington State program upgraded pollution controls in old diesel buses. Afterward, fewer kids were hospitalized in those districts than in the schools without bus upgrades.
Almost all American school districts can apply for the program. But schools in low-income, tribal and rural areas will get priority. Kids in these areas tend to face the most health risks from older buses.
8. What can we infer about diesel school buses from the first paragraph
A. They operate cost-effectively.
B. They have a short service life.
C. They accommodate few passengers.
D. They do much harm to school children.
9. Why is the increase in school attendance small but important
A. It is a winning condition. B. It is a measuring standard.
C. It is a long accumulation. D. It is a student’s achievement.
10. How can the bus replacement bring better student attendance
A. By reducing the network connectivity.
B. By bettering the health state of students.
C. By meeting students’ demand for school drivers.
D. By improving students’ satisfaction with schools.
11. What does the author say about the program in the last paragraph
A. It tends to fail in some areas.
B. It is at risk of being interrupted.
C. It will start from underdeveloped areas.
D. It has been carried out in all American schools.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现，美国旧的柴油校车与更多的学生缺课有关。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Each year, more than 27 million American and Canadian kids get to school by bus. Most of those buses run on diesel (柴油) fuel, which give out pollution that riders can take in. Pollution levels can be several times higher inside a diesel school bus than outside it. Why Pollution can leak in from the floor or blow in through windows.(每年，超过 2700 万美国和加拿大儿童乘坐公交车上学。大多数公交车都使用柴油燃料，这种燃料会释放出乘客可以吸收的污染物。柴油校车内部的污染水平可能比外部高出好几倍。为什么？污染物可能从地板漏入或从窗户吹入)”可推知，乘坐柴油校车对学生的健康危害很大。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Those numbers may sound small, but they add up. And school attendance matters for students’ achievements. Almost 3 million American kids ride school buses more than 20 years old. If American school districts had replaced all of those older buses, there would have been 1.3 million fewer student absences each year.(这些数字听起来可能很小，但加起来就很大了。出勤率对于学生的成绩很重要。近300万美国20 岁以上的孩子乘坐校车。如果美国学区更换所有旧校车，每年缺课的学生人数将会减少130万人)”可知，入学率的增长虽小但很重要，这是因为它是一个长期的积累。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“For example, maybe kids preferred new buses. However, the most likely reason for fewer student absences was better health.(例如，也许孩子们更喜欢新巴士。然而，学生缺勤减少的最可能原因是健康状况更好)”可推知，更换校车可以满足学会对健康的需求，进而提高他们的出勤率。故选B。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Almost all American school districts can apply for the program. But schools in low-income, tribal and rural areas will get priority. Kids in these areas tend to face the most health risks from older buses.(几乎所有美国学区都可以申请该项目。但低收入、部落和农村地区的学校将获得优先考虑。这些地区的儿童往往面临来自旧巴士的最大健康风险)”可知，这个项目将从欠发达地区优先执行。故选C。
D
For some climate challenges, there are relatively straightforward fixes. For example, renewable energy sources can already replace much of the energy needed to power buildings, cars and more.
There’s no substitute for food, but shifting what we eat is possible. If everyone on the planet ate vegetables, greenhouse gas emissions from the food system could be cut by more than half; a planet of vegetarians would reduce food emissions by two thirds. If we stopped consuming conventional food and relied on a lab-grown nutritional food instead of soil or water-produced food, we could prevent about 1 degree centigrade of future warming, according to a recent paper that considered the unique thought experiment.
“What this work says is: Hey, look, we can still get pretty big wins even if we’re not making these really big changes in dietary composition,” says Clark. “I think that’s really powerful, because a lot of people just don’t want to make those really big dietary changes, for many reasons. While vegetarian diets are becoming more common in America and some European countries, it’s absolutely ridiculous to assume that everyone will be eating a vegetarian diet 30 years from now,” he says.
Food choices are personal, deeply connected to cultural, religious, emotional, economic concerns and so much more. “Rather than dictate how to do it, it’s much better to try to give choices,” says Naglaa, a food, nutrition and environment researcher at Tufts University. This approach aims to inform people so that they can make choices that correspond with their needs and values instead of waiting for the authority’s rules and orders. As a whole, those choices can benefit both human health and the planet. For that to happen, it is necessary to work alongside large-scale efforts to reshape industrial food production.
“But what people choose to eat daily is far from insignificant,” says Clark. “We don’t all have to become vegetarians overnight. Small changes can make a big difference.”
12. How does the author show the effects of dietary changes in paragraph 2
A. By analyzing the reasons. B. By using a quotation.
C. By answering questions. D. By listing data.
13. What is Clark’s attitude towards small dietary changes
A. Indifferent. B. Skeptical. C. Favorable. D. Negative.
14. What does the underlined word “dictate” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Command. B. Persuade. C. Perceive. D. Describe.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. How small changes to our diets can benefit the planet
B. Small changes in life choices can make a big difference
C. Why renewable energy sources can reduce gas emissions
D. Lab-grown nutritional food could prevent future warming
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了饮食方面的小改变是如何造福地球的。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“If everyone on the planet ate vegetables, greenhouse gas emissions from the food system could be cut by more than half; a planet of vegetarians would reduce food emissions by two thirds. If we stopped consuming conventional food and relied on a lab-grown nutritional food instead of soil or water-produced food, we could prevent about 1 degree centigrade of future warming, according to a recent paper that considered the unique thought experiment. (如果地球上的每个人都吃蔬菜，粮食系统的温室气体排放量可以减少一半以上；一个素食主义者的星球将减少三分之二的食物排放。根据最近一篇考虑了这一独特思想实验的论文，如果我们停止食用传统食品，转而依靠实验室种植的营养食品，而不是土壤或水生产的食品，我们就可以防止未来约1摄氏度的变暖)”可推知，作者通过列举数据来表明饮食方面的改变可以缓解地球的温室效应。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中Clark所说的话“What this work says is: Hey, look, we can still get pretty big wins even if we’re not making these really big changes in dietary composition(这项研究表明：嘿，看，即使我们没有在饮食成分上做出这些真正的大改变，我们仍然可以取得相当大的成功)和“I think that’s really powerful, because a lot of people just don’t want to make those really big dietary changes, for many reasons.(我认为这真的很强大，因为很多人出于很多原因，不想在饮食上做出很大的改变)”以及最后一段““But what people choose to eat daily is far from insignificant,” says Clark. “We don’t all have to become vegetarians overnight. Small changes can make a big difference.”(‘但是人们每天选择吃什么绝非无关紧要，’Clark说。‘我们不需要一夜之间都成为素食主义者。小的改变可以带来大的不同。’)”可知，Clark认为人们每天选择吃什么很重要，饮食方面小的改变可以产生大的影响。由此推知，Clark对小的饮食变化是支持的。故选C项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词dictate前文“Rather than(而不是)”以及后文“it’s much better to try to give choices(最好是试着给出选择)”可知，dictate how to do it和后文的give choice相对应；结合下文“This approach aims to inform people so that they can make choices that correspond with their needs and values instead of waiting for the authority’s rules and orders.(这种方法旨在告知人们，使他们能够做出符合自己需求和价值观的选择，而不是等待当局的规则和命令)”可推知，dictate how to do it表达的意思是“命令怎么做”，dictate是“命令”之意，和Command意思相近。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第二段“There’s no substitute for food, but shifting what we eat is possible. If everyone on the planet ate vegetables, greenhouse gas emissions from the food system could be cut by more than half; a planet of vegetarians would reduce food emissions by two thirds. If we stopped consuming conventional food and relied on a lab-grown nutritional food instead of soil or water-produced food, we could prevent about 1 degree centigrade of future warming, according to a recent paper that considered the unique thought experiment. (食物没有替代品，但改变我们的饮食是可能的。如果地球上的每个人都吃蔬菜，粮食系统的温室气体排放量可以减少一半以上；一个素食主义者的星球将减少三分之二的食物排放。根据最近的一篇论文，考虑到这个独特的思想实验，如果我们停止食用传统食品，依靠实验室种植的营养食品，而不是土壤或水生产的食品，我们可以防止未来约1摄氏度的变暖)”以及最后一段““But what people choose to eat daily is far from insignificant,” says Clark. “We don’t all have to become vegetarians overnight. Small changes can make a big difference.”(‘但是人们每天选择吃什么绝非无关紧要，’Clark说。‘我们不需要一夜之间都成为素食主义者。小的改变可以带来大的不同。’)”可知，本文介绍了饮食方面的小改变是如何造福地球的。由此可知，A选项“How small changes to our diets can benefit the planet (我们饮食的微小变化如何造福地球)”能够概括文章主旨，适合作为最佳标题。故选A项。

4.as→like
5.flowed→flowing
6.Much→Many
7.去掉sing前的to
8.active→actively
9.在won前加has
10.influencing→influenced
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述的是作者很欣赏的一个同学玛丽。
【详解】1.考查名词的复数。句意：玛丽是我的一个同学，我很欣赏她。one of后要跟名词的复数，因此classmate要用复数。故将classmate改为classmates。
2.考查连词。句意：她性格开朗，待人友好，总是对别人微笑。cheerful和friendly之间是并列关系，且句子是肯定句，因此用and连接两个形容词。故将but改为and。
3.考查主语从句。句意：给我印象最深的是她甜美的声音。“impresses me most”是主语从句，从句中缺少主语，此处表示“给我印象最深的是她甜美的声音”，因此用what引导主语从句，位于句首的单词首字母大写。故将That改为What。
4.考查介词。句意：她的歌声就像山上的瀑布，毫不费力地流淌，给人一种平静的感觉。根据语境可知，句子表示“她的歌声就像山上的瀑布”，“像”用介词like。故将as改为like。
5.考查非谓语动词。句意：她的歌声就像山上的瀑布，毫不费力地流淌，给人一种平静的感觉。句中谓语是is，flow要用非谓语动词，The sound of her singing和flow之间是主谓关系，因此用现在分词表主动。故将flowed改为flowing。
6.考查代词。句意：我们中的许多人经常在课后听她唱歌。us是复数，因此用many，much适用于不可数，位于句首的单词首字母大写。故将Much改为Many。
7.考查不带to的不定式。句意：我们中的许多人经常在课后听她唱歌。hear sb. do sth.是固定短语，意为“听见某人做某事”，因此sing前的不定式符合省略。故去掉sing前的to。
8.考查副词。句意：她经常积极参加当地的音乐比赛。修饰动词participates要用副词actively，意为“积极地”。故将active改为actively。
9.考查时态和主谓一致。句意：到目前为止，她在我市赢得了两个奖。由So far可知，句子时态用现在完成时，主语she是单数，因此其后用has won。故在won前加has。
10.考查非谓语动词。句意：结果，在她的影响下，我们班越来越多的学生喜欢唱歌。句中谓语是like，influence用非谓语形式，由by可知，用过去分词influenced表被动。故将influencing改为influenced。

The Most Impressive Chinese Virtue
As we know, China has many fine virtues. One that has impressed me most is filial piety, which is defined as “children’s respect and care for their parents”. I vividly remember the touching story of my father, who took good care of my sick grandmother. Despite numerous challenges, my father worked tirelessly to provide the best medical treatment for my grandmother. Thanks to his selflessness and dedication, my grandmother finally recovered, which moved the entire neighborhood.
This virtue has influenced me greatly. It serves as a constant reminder to treasure our relationships with loved ones and appreciate the sacrifices they have made for us. I’ve realized the importance of loving our elders. Besides filial piety, I decide to inherit other Chinese virtues.
