Rome can be pricey for travelers, which is why many choose to stay in a hostel (旅社). The hostels in Rome offer a bed in a dorm room for around $25 a night, and for that, you’ll often get to stay in a central location (位置) with security and comfort.
Yellow Hostel
If I had to make just one recommendation for where to stay in Rome, it would be Yellow Hostel. It’s one of the best-rated hostels in the city, and for good reason. It’s affordable, and it’s got a fun atmosphere without being too noisy. As an added bonus, it’s close to the main train station.
Hostel Alessandro Palace
If you love social hostels, this is the best hostel for you in Rome. Hostel Alessandro Palace is fun. Staff members hold plenty of bar events for guests like free shots, bar crawls and karaoke. There’s also an area on the rooftop for hanging out with other travelers during the summer.
Youth Station Hostel
If you’re looking for cleanliness and a modern hostel, look no further than Youth Station. It offers beautiful furnishings and beds. There are plenty of other benefits, too; it doesn’t charge city tax; it has both air conditioning and a heater for the rooms; it also has free Wi-Fi in every room.
Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes
Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes is located just a 10-minute walk from the central city station and it's close to all of the city's main attractions. The staff is
friendly and helpful, providing you with a map of the city when you arrive, and offering advice if you require some. However, you need to pay 2 euros a day for Wi-Fi.

By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare time though he goes on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova — not as a musician but as her page turner. “I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.”
Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group’s official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn’t have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.
“A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don’t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.” Mr Titterton explained.
Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.
But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. “I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand,” Mr Titterton said, “Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back.”
Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage.
“My husband is the worst page turner,” she laughed. “He’s interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: ‘Turn,turn!’ Robert is the best page turner I’ve had in my entire life.”
24. What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner
A. Read music. B. Play the piano.
C. Sing songs. D. Fix the instruments.
25. Which of the following best describes Titterton’s job on stage
A. Boring. B. Well-paid. C. Demanding. D. Dangerous.
26. What does Titterton need to practise
A. Counting the pages. B. Recognizing the “nodding”.
C. Catching falling objects. D. Performing in his own style.
27. Why is Ms Raspopova’s husband “the worse page turner”？
A. He has very poor eyesight. B. He ignores the audience.
C. He has no interest in music. D. He forgets to do his job
C
When the explorers first set foot upon the continent of North America, the skies and lands were alive with an astonishing variety of wildlife. Native Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely. Unfortunately, it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades to decimate a large part of these resources. Millions of waterfowl (水禽) were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen. Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations, greatly reducing waterfowl habitat (栖息地).
In 1934, with the passage of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act (Act), an increasingly concerned nation took firm action to stop the destruction of migratory (迁徙的) waterfowl and the wetlands so vital to their survival.Under this Act, all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp. The very first Federal Duck Stamp was designed by J.N. “Ding” Darling a political cartoonist from Des Moines, lowa, who at that time was appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt as Director of the Bureau of Biological Survey. Hunters willingly pay the stamp price to ensure the survival of our natural resources.
About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat for inclusion into the National Wildlife Refuge System — a fact that ensures this land will be protected and available for all generations to come. Since 1934, better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat. Little wonder the Federal Duck Stamp Program has been called one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated.
28. What was a cause of the waterfowl population decline in North America
A. Loss of wetlands. B. Popularity of water sports.
C. Pollution of rivers. D. Arrival of other wild animals.
29. What does the underlined word “decimate” mean in the first paragraph
A. Acquire. B. Export. C. Destroy. D. Distribute.
30. What is a direct result of the Act passed in 1934
A. The stamp price has gone down.
B. The migratory birds have flown away.
C. The hunters have stopped hunting.
D. The government has collected money.
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. The Federal Duck Stamp Story
B. The National Wildlife Refuge System
C. The Benefits of Saving Waterfowl
D. The History of Migratory Bird Hunting

I have a special place in my heart for libraries. I have for as long as I can remember. I was always an enthusiastic reader, sometimes reading up to three books a day as a child. Stories were like air to me and while other kids played ball or went to parties, I lived out adventures through the books I checked out from the library.
My first job was working at the Ukiah Library when I was 16 years old .It was a dream job and I did everything from shelving books to reading to the children for story time.
As I grew older and became a mother, the library took on a new place and an added meaning in my life. I had several children and books were our main source(来源) of entertainment. It was a big deal for us to load up and go to the local library, where my kids could pick out books to read or books they wanted me to read to them.
I always read ,using different voices ,as though I were acting out the stories with my voice and they loved it !It was a special time to bond with my children and it filled them with the wonderment of books .
Now, I see my children taking their children to the library and I love that the excitement of going to the library lives on form generation to generation.
As a novelist, I’ve found a new relationship with libraries. I encourage readers to go to their local library when they can’t afford to purchase a book. I see libraries as a safe haven(避风港) for readers and writers, a bridge that helps put together a reader with a book. Libraries, in their own way, help fight book piracy(盗版行为) and 1 think all writers should support libraries in a significant way when they can. Encourage readers to use the library. Share library announcements on your social media. Frequent them and talk about them when you can.
32. Which word best describes the author’s relationship with books as a child
A. Cooperative. B. Uneasy. C. Inseparable. D. Casual.
33. What does the underlined phrase “an added meaning” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. Pleasure from working in the library.
B. Joy of reading passed on in the family.
C. Wonderment from acting out the stories.
D. A closer bond developed with the readers.
34. What does the author call on other writers to do
A. Sponsor book fairs. B. Write for social media.
C. Support libraries. D. Purchase her novels.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Reading: A Source of Knowledge
B. My Idea about writing
C. Library: A Heaven for the Young
D. My Love of the Library

A Few Tips for Self-Acceptance
We all want it to accept and love ourselves. But at times it seems too difficult and too far out of reach. 36 Here’s a handful of ways that will set you in the right direction.
● 37 Do not follow the people who make you feel not-good-enough. Why do you follow them Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs Know that your life is your own;you are the only you in this world.
●Forgive yourself for mistakes that you have made. We are often ashamed of our shortcomings, our mistakes and our failures. 38 You will make mistakes, time and time again. Rather than getting caught up in how you could have done better, why not offer yourself a compassionate (有同情心) response ＂That didn’t go as planned. But, I tried my best.＂
●Recognize all of your strengths. Write them down in a journal. Begin to train your brain to look at strength before weakness. List all of your accomplishments and achievements. You have a job, earned your degree, and you got out of bed today. 39
●Now that you’ve listed your strengths, list your imperfections. Turn the
page in your journal. Put into words why you feel unworthy, why you don’t feel good enough. Now, read these words back to yourself. 40 Turn to a page in your journal to your list of strengths and achievements. See how awesome you are

A MOTHER’S DAY SURPRISE
The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother’s Day. How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen.There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do.
The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the
stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.
Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.

第一节
A
本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了罗马四个旅行社的特色。
21. C 细节理解题。从第一段第一句“Rome can be pricey for travelers, which is why many choose to stay in a hostel.”可知，罗马对于旅行者来说是一个价格昂贵的旅行地，这也是很多旅行者选择住在旅社的原因。由此可知，选择住在旅社的旅行者在罗马最主要的问题就是物价。故选C。
22. B 推理判断题。从Hostel Alessandro Palace下的信息“If you love social hostels, this is the best hostel for you in Rome.”可知，如果你喜欢社交旅社，那Hostel Alessandro Palace旅社是你在罗马的不二选择。故选B。
23. C 推理判断题。从题干Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes可将考查内容定位到第四个广告下的信息中。从该信息可知，该旅社离中心城市车站很近、靠近很多的景点、员工友好乐于助人、提供城市地图、尽可能提供建议。但每天需要支付无线网络费2欧元。由此推知，支付无线网络费应该是该旅社的缺点。故选C。
B
本文是一篇记叙文。白天，罗伯特·提特顿是一个律师。但在空闲时间，他在舞台上与钢琴家并肩演出，不是作为音乐家，而是作为乐谱翻页者。
24. A 细节理解题。根据“Titterton be able to do to be a page turner”可以定位到第一段。根据第一段中的“I’ve learnt to read music so I can hep Maria in her performance”可知，提特顿是钢琴家玛丽亚的乐谱翻页者，他学会识谱是为了可以在玛丽亚的表演中帮助她。故正确答案为A。
25. C 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“A lot of skills are needed for the job”和第四段中的“Being a page turner requires plenty of practice”可知，乐谱翻页这份工作需要很多技能，也需要大量的练习。由此可判断出，提特顿作为乐谱翻页者，这项工作是“难度大的，要求高的”。故正确答案为C。
26. B 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner”可知，每个钢琴家都有自己的“点头”风格来表示需要翻页，这需要大量的练习实践。故正确答案为B。
27. D 细节判断题。根据题干中的关键词“Ms Raspopova’s husband “the worst page Turner””可以定位到最后一段。根据最后一段中的“He’s interested in the music, feeling every note, and l have to say: ‘Turn, turn!’”可判断出，她的丈夫经常沉浸于音乐中而忘记翻页，需要她提醒。故正确答案为D。
C
本文是一篇说明文。美国为了保护“水禽”而颁布的一项政策，即狩猎者要购买相关的水禽类邮票。政府把售卖所得拨给保护这些水禽的基金。
28. A 细节理解题。根据该段中“Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations, greatly reducing waterfowl habitat.”（数百万英亩的湿地被抽干，以养活不断增加的人口，供其居住，这大大减少了水禽的栖息地。）可知，造成北美水禽
数量急剧减少的原因之一是它们栖息地的减少。故A项正确。
29. C 词义猜测题。文章前两句“When the explorers first set foot upon the continent of North America, the skies and lands were alive with an astonishing variety of wildlife. Native Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely.”（当探险家们第一次踏上北美洲大陆时，天上和大地上有许多各种各样的野生动物。美洲土著人很聪明地保护了这些宝贵的自然资源。）下一句中的unfortunately表示转折意义，由此推断，画线单词所在句“Unfortunately, it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades to decimate a large part of these resources.”（不幸的是，仅仅几十年后，探险家和定居者就毁灭了大部分资源。）也就是说，画线单词decimate意思是“破坏；毁灭（destroy）”。首段最后两句“Millions of waterfowl were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen. Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations, greatly reducing waterfowl habitat.”进一步说明了“探险家和定居者对这里资源的破坏”。故选C.
30. D 推理判断题。由题干中的关键词“the Act passed in 1934”定位到文章第三段。根据该段中“About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat for inclusion into the National Wildlife Refuge System－a fact that ensures this land will be protected and available for all generations to come. Since 1934, better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat.”（每枚鸭子邮票上的98美分将直接投入候鸟保护基金，用于购买湿地和野生动物栖息地，以便纳入国家野生动物保护系统一这一事实确保了这片土地将受到保护，并为子孙后代提供可用资源。自1934年以来，超过5亿美元流入该基金购买了超过500万英亩的栖息地。）可知，这项法案的通过使得政府筹集到了大量资金，用以保护水禽和它们的栖息地。故选D.
31. A 主旨大意题。本文主要讲述的是美国鸭票的故事（The Federal Duck Stamp Story），全文都是围绕着这个主旨展开的。首段介绍了美国鸭票发行的背景，第二段介绍了美国鸭票发行的经过，第三段讲述了美国鸭票发行带来的种种好处。最后一句“Little wonder the Federal Duck Stamp Program has been called one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated.”更是点明主题。由此可知，选项A最能概括全文主旨。故选A。

Last Sunday, over 200 students participated in the 5km cross- country running race held by our school to strengthen the body.

大作文 本文是一篇记叙文。讲述的是Jenna和Jeff这对双胞胎兄妹为了在母亲节早上给母亲惊喜而精心策划并制作早餐的故事；他们克服困难，永不放弃，折射的是他们对母亲的拳拳之爱。
Paragraph 1:
As the twins looked around them in disappointment, their father appeared. Knowing what they were preparing for, he was greatly surprised. So
immediately, he offered to get involved in the kids’ job. Firstly, he put the pot of porridge on a gentle heat, asking Jeff to watch out for it going for fifteen minutes. And then, he asked Jenna to break another two eggs and mix them with milk. With all preparations done, they started to fry bread together. In a flash, sweet smell filled the air in the kitchen. To their delight, the breakfast was a success in the end.
Paragraph 2:
The twins carried the breakfast upstairs and woke their mother up. Eyes opened, the woman heard a harmonious “Happy Mother’s Day” from her twin kids with hot, sweet breakfast before her. Behind the children stood their father. To shed light on the game of the gift, he told the mother the whole story. After learning about what happened, she rose quickly to gaze at the boy’s hand with moved tears rolling down her cheeks. “Thank you, my honey!” said the mother.
