Leather-making in Florence dates back hundreds of years to the 13th century. A look at leather craftsmen in Florence will help you know more about Italian leather.
The leather factory－PIEROTUCCI
Join a free tour of the factory and you'll get a deep dive into the process of making a handbag. After seeing what it takes to make a bag by hand, you'll no longer wonder why PIEROTUCCI prices come with two zeros at the end. And you'll know that if you do spend the money, the bag will last forever
The leather shoe store—STEFANO BEMER
STEFANO BEMER was famous for its hand-tailored shoes. The elegant store that sells shoes that cost hundreds，and in some cases thousands，of dollars is also where apprentices (学徒) learn their skills: visible in the front section of the store.
The leather school—Scuola del Cuoio
Walking into the courtyard of the Scuola del Cuoio feels a little like walking onto a mini college campus. You leave the busy street as you enter the historic building. The school specializes in making one-of-a-kind bags and in teaching paying students the secrets of high-quality leather working.
The bookbinding (书籍装订) store——Il Torchio
Il Torchio is a beautiful bookbinding store run by Erin Ciulla. If you ask Ciulla, she might take you to see the "guillotine", which is actually a very large, antique-looking machine that's used to cut large amounts of paper. Beyond binding with leather covers, Ciulla also covers books, journals, and photo albums in hand-made papers.

On March 1, Dr. Joseph 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 stayed busy. 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, Dr. 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. Dituri 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.
24．What is Jules's Undersea Lodge special for
A．Its convenience. B．Its reputation.
C．Its location D．Its luxuriousness.
25．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.
26．Which statement best describes Dr. Dituri's undersea life
A．He kept a daily routine almost as usual.
B．He was busy with medical experiments.
C．He led a dull life separated from the others.
D．He set a world record of living 73 days underwater.
27．What does Dr. Dituri wish young people to do
A．Communicate more with him.
B．Explore the unknown bravely.
C．Study the information of the project.
D．Meet at the conference in Scotland.

As archaeologists（考古学家）examined ancient tombs in Turfan in western China, they discovered some surprisingly well-preserved and familiar relics. Though hardened from over 1, 000 years, there sat little dumplings.
Exactly who invented dumplings remains a mystery. But some scholars suspect they were first spread by nomadic（游牧的）Turki c peoples living in western China and Central Asia. This is thought to be the case because "manti, " meaning "dumpling" or "steamed bun" in many Turkic languages, appears to be the root word for dumpling in several other languages. Ancient Turkic people probably filled their dumplings with meat. But it's unclear when this practice began, or whether they learned the art of dumpling-making from others. However this happened, dumplings certainly gathered steam in ancient China.
Dumplings continued to take off and diversify in China over the next thousand years. Instead of the traditional meat filling, some communities chose vegetarian（素食）dumplings. People developed new cooking methods. The relationship between Chinese dumplings and those in other areas is tricky to trace, but food historians have made their best guesses based on available clues.
Besides Turkic tribes, some scholars believe that the Mongol Empire also contributed to the spread of dumplings, perhaps introducing them to parts of Eastern Europe. These dumplings could have come by way of China or directly from some of the Turkic peoples the Mongols hired to run their empire. One theory is that this gave rise to dumplings like pelmeni in Russia, pierogi in Poland and vareniki in Ukraine. The Mongol Empire also controlled Korea and might have likewise introduced dumplings there. Later, after Chinese dumpling varieties were introduced to more countries, English speakers began calling them dumplings, which means "little lumps". During the Second World War, Chinese "jiaozi" were brought to Japan. So what about the Italian dumpling-like pasta Some historians think it might be brought by Arab conquerors.
It's unlikely that all dumpling dishes came from the same root tradition. However, we can appreciate the mysterious historical web that made dumplings so various.
28．What made Turkic peoples suspected to first spread dumplings
A．The languages they used. B．Their eating habits.
C．Their dumpling-making skills. D．The newly found tombs.
29．What does the phrase "gathered steam" in paragraph 2 mean
A．Originated. B．Stabilized.
C．Got well-cooked. D．Became popular.
30．What does paragraph 4 focus on
A．The spreading process of dumplings.
B．The possible origins of dumplings.
C．Differences between various dumplings.
D．Reasons for the popularity of dumplings.
31．Which of the following best describe dumplings according to the passage
A．Delicious. B．Diverse. C．Unusual. D．Regional.
D
A new UK-based study on the effects of artificial light on local insect populations found that light pollution from street lamps disturbs insect behavior, leading to an overall loss of insects.
"We found that street lighting strongly reduced moth（飞蛾）population compared with unlit sites... and affected moth development, " the study stated.
The study's results apply to a localized level and cannot be used to determine whether national-level populations are declining due to light pollution. However, it adds further weight to existing research on how light pollution affects ecosystems and biodiversity hot spots and highlights the need to shift to alternatives in artificial light that would tone down these effects.
The effects on insect populations are wide-ranging. More specifically, artificial light affects how moths lay their eggs and puts them at a higher risk of being spotted by predators（捕食性动物）. It also affects moths' feeding behavior, which subsequently leads to declines in their population too. Light pollution thus joins a host of factors, such as climate change and deforestation, as one of the determinants of insect population decline.
While previous studies examined the effects of lighting on bats and other vertebrates, this study focused on their prey—creatures lower down in the food chain—and, as a result, complementing（补充）previous studies.
Therefore, the study is concerning because it suggests an alarming loss of insects caused by artificial light, which will have far-reaching consequences for all the wildlife and ecosystems that depend on them.
Moreover, white light-emitting diodes(LEDs) were found to have the worst impact on local insects and ecosystem processes. The researchers thus call for shifting away from white LEDs or employing processes such as motion sensors to make the lights less bright and changing colors and filters to avoid the negative impacts. If the findings of the study are anything to go by, local insect ecosystems will suffer considerable consequences — which will, in turn, affect the wildlife that depends on them and, ultimately, could perhaps even upset agricultural balances.
32．What can we learn about the new study
A．It is conducted on a local basis.
B．It highlights the value of artificial light.
C．It focuses on the preservation of insects.
D．It matters more than the existing research.
33．What effect does artificial light have on moths
A．It may put them in danger.
B．It prevents them from feeding.
C．It may lead to their extinction.
D．It disables them from laying eggs.
34．What do the researchers advise us to do with the LEDs
A．To shift to green alternatives.
B．To adopt brighter colors and filters.
C．To avoid adopting white-light LEDs.
D．To replace them with motion sensors.
35．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A．Artificial Light and Wildlife Protection
B．Light Pollution and the Endangered Species
C．Artificial Light Has Negative Effects on Agriculture
D．Light Pollution from Street Lights Could Drive Insect Loss

Beach is a relaxing place to catch waves, get some sun, enjoy picnic, spot wildlife and go exploring. Here are tips from experts on how to be a better beachgoer, so future generations of sea lovers can get their beach therapy(疗法) when they need it.
Use safer sunblock

Thoughtful toys for kids

Destroy what you build
It doesn't matter how much time and effort your children spent building sand castles or digging tunnels: if you are on a beach marked as a sea turtle habitat, fill in the trench and knock down the structure. Sea turtles have heavy bodies and they can die if they fall into a hole and get trapped. 40． .
A. So it's best to read the fine print carefully
B. Beach-goers are generally advised to stay off sand hills

67．第二节阅读下面材料，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。
An awkward experience
I was walking along the road to school one day and I met my friend Raine. He suggested that we skip school and go to the movies. I refused because my dad was very strict and I knew he would be mad. Raine offered various reasons but I still refused. Finally, he said there was a Will Smith movie at the local cinema and that I couldn't afford to miss it. Finally curiosity got the better of me and I agreed to go.
So we set off to the movies together, bought our tickets, popcorn and drinks and settled down comfortably. The movie was due to start in fifteen minutes and the lights were still on. We watched people coming in groups, families and there were couples too. Some of them looked like school students cutting classes like us. As I turned around, I suddenly caught sight of my uncle Andy and aunt Jane walking in. I sank into my seat quickly to avoid being spotted. I signaled to Raine that there was someone I didn't want to see. But Raine made it more obvious by turning around and asking "Who And where " loudly, which made me sit even lower in my seat.
To make things worse, they came and sat just in the row behind us. I couldn't help but overhear（偷听） their conversation. They were discussing how much I would have loved to come to this movie, knowing my admiration for Will Smith. They were even commenting about the students cutting classes. They spoke in a low voice, but their words were loud enough for me to catch. They discussed the bad influence of cutting classes and the importance of studying hard at school. My heart sank with these words. It was as if they were unknowingly lecturing me, reminding me why I shouldn't have given in to Raine's suggestion.
注意：1. 续写短文的词数应为150左右；2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
Soon the lights were turned off and the movie began.

To my surprise, my uncle and aunt were standing at the exit smiling.

67．One possible version:
Soon the lights were turned off and the movie began. However, I didn't enjoy the movie at all for fear of being spotted. I sank my body further into my seat, praying that they wouldn't notice me. Every now and then I would steal glances at them. Every time they chatted in a whisper, my heart was pounding violently. Thankfully, after what seemed years, the movie came to an end and the lights came on. I waited anxiously until my aunt and uncle left the cinema. I let out a sigh of relief, dashed for the door and tried to make a quick exit with Raine. To my surprise, my uncle and aunt were standing at the exit smiling. When they called out my name, I was so embarrassed that I lowered my head with a burning face, unsure of what to do. They walked up to me and my aunt asked why I was absent from school patiently. Palms sweating, I stammered out an excuse but they seemed unconvinced. Patting my shoulder gently, my uncle promised, "We won't tell your father but hope that you won't skip school again." I nodded my head in great shame. From then on, this awkward experience kept reminding me of the importance of honesty and responsibility in my life. /This experience has taught me that sometimes we need to make a tough decision to do what is right.

Leather-making in Florence dates back hundreds of years to the 13th century. A look at leather craftsmen in Florence will help you know more about Italian leather.
The leather factory－PIEROTUCCI
Join a free tour of the factory and you'll get a deep dive into the process of making a handbag. After seeing what it takes to make a bag by hand, you'll no longer wonder why PIEROTUCCI prices come with two zeros at the end. And you'll know that if you do spend the money, the bag will last forever
The leather shoe store—STEFANO BEMER
STEFANO BEMER was famous for its hand-tailored shoes. The elegant store that sells shoes that cost hundreds，and in some cases thousands，of dollars is also where apprentices (学徒) learn their skills: visible in the front section of the store.
The leather school—Scuola del Cuoio
Walking into the courtyard of the Scuola del Cuoio feels a little like walking onto a mini college campus. You leave the busy street as you enter the historic building. The school specializes in making one-of-a-kind bags and in teaching paying students the secrets of high-quality leather working.
The bookbinding (书籍装订) store——Il Torchio
Il Torchio is a beautiful bookbinding store run by Erin Ciulla. If you ask Ciulla, she might take you to see the "guillotine", which is actually a very large, antique-looking machine that's used to cut large amounts of paper. Beyond binding with leather covers, Ciulla also covers books, journals, and photo albums in hand-made papers.

On March 1, Dr. Joseph 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 stayed busy. 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, Dr. 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. Dituri 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.
24．What is Jules's Undersea Lodge special for
A．Its convenience. B．Its reputation.
C．Its location D．Its luxuriousness.
25．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.
26．Which statement best describes Dr. Dituri's undersea life
A．He kept a daily routine almost as usual.
B．He was busy with medical experiments.
C．He led a dull life separated from the others.
D．He set a world record of living 73 days underwater.
27．What does Dr. Dituri wish young people to do
A．Communicate more with him.
B．Explore the unknown bravely.
C．Study the information of the project.
D．Meet at the conference in Scotland.

As archaeologists（考古学家）examined ancient tombs in Turfan in western China, they discovered some surprisingly well-preserved and familiar relics. Though hardened from over 1, 000 years, there sat little dumplings.
Exactly who invented dumplings remains a mystery. But some scholars suspect they were first spread by nomadic（游牧的）Turki c peoples living in western China and Central Asia. This is thought to be the case because "manti, " meaning "dumpling" or "steamed bun" in many Turkic languages, appears to be the root word for dumpling in several other languages. Ancient Turkic people probably filled their dumplings with meat. But it's unclear when this practice began, or whether they learned the art of dumpling-making from others. However this happened, dumplings certainly gathered steam in ancient China.
Dumplings continued to take off and diversify in China over the next thousand years. Instead of the traditional meat filling, some communities chose vegetarian（素食）dumplings. People developed new cooking methods. The relationship between Chinese dumplings and those in other areas is tricky to trace, but food historians have made their best guesses based on available clues.
Besides Turkic tribes, some scholars believe that the Mongol Empire also contributed to the spread of dumplings, perhaps introducing them to parts of Eastern Europe. These dumplings could have come by way of China or directly from some of the Turkic peoples the Mongols hired to run their empire. One theory is that this gave rise to dumplings like pelmeni in Russia, pierogi in Poland and vareniki in Ukraine. The Mongol Empire also controlled Korea and might have likewise introduced dumplings there. Later, after Chinese dumpling varieties were introduced to more countries, English speakers began calling them dumplings, which means "little lumps". During the Second World War, Chinese "jiaozi" were brought to Japan. So what about the Italian dumpling-like pasta Some historians think it might be brought by Arab conquerors.
It's unlikely that all dumpling dishes came from the same root tradition. However, we can appreciate the mysterious historical web that made dumplings so various.
28．What made Turkic peoples suspected to first spread dumplings
A．The languages they used. B．Their eating habits.
C．Their dumpling-making skills. D．The newly found tombs.
29．What does the phrase "gathered steam" in paragraph 2 mean
A．Originated. B．Stabilized.
C．Got well-cooked. D．Became popular.
30．What does paragraph 4 focus on
A．The spreading process of dumplings.
B．The possible origins of dumplings.
C．Differences between various dumplings.
D．Reasons for the popularity of dumplings.
31．Which of the following best describe dumplings according to the passage
A．Delicious. B．Diverse. C．Unusual. D．Regional.
D
A new UK-based study on the effects of artificial light on local insect populations found that light pollution from street lamps disturbs insect behavior, leading to an overall loss of insects.
"We found that street lighting strongly reduced moth（飞蛾）population compared with unlit sites... and affected moth development, " the study stated.
The study's results apply to a localized level and cannot be used to determine whether national-level populations are declining due to light pollution. However, it adds further weight to existing research on how light pollution affects ecosystems and biodiversity hot spots and highlights the need to shift to alternatives in artificial light that would tone down these effects.
The effects on insect populations are wide-ranging. More specifically, artificial light affects how moths lay their eggs and puts them at a higher risk of being spotted by predators（捕食性动物）. It also affects moths' feeding behavior, which subsequently leads to declines in their population too. Light pollution thus joins a host of factors, such as climate change and deforestation, as one of the determinants of insect population decline.
While previous studies examined the effects of lighting on bats and other vertebrates, this study focused on their prey—creatures lower down in the food chain—and, as a result, complementing（补充）previous studies.
Therefore, the study is concerning because it suggests an alarming loss of insects caused by artificial light, which will have far-reaching consequences for all the wildlife and ecosystems that depend on them.
Moreover, white light-emitting diodes(LEDs) were found to have the worst impact on local insects and ecosystem processes. The researchers thus call for shifting away from white LEDs or employing processes such as motion sensors to make the lights less bright and changing colors and filters to avoid the negative impacts. If the findings of the study are anything to go by, local insect ecosystems will suffer considerable consequences — which will, in turn, affect the wildlife that depends on them and, ultimately, could perhaps even upset agricultural balances.
32．What can we learn about the new study
A．It is conducted on a local basis.
B．It highlights the value of artificial light.
C．It focuses on the preservation of insects.
D．It matters more than the existing research.
33．What effect does artificial light have on moths
A．It may put them in danger.
B．It prevents them from feeding.
C．It may lead to their extinction.
D．It disables them from laying eggs.
34．What do the researchers advise us to do with the LEDs
A．To shift to green alternatives.
B．To adopt brighter colors and filters.
C．To avoid adopting white-light LEDs.
D．To replace them with motion sensors.
35．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A．Artificial Light and Wildlife Protection
B．Light Pollution and the Endangered Species
C．Artificial Light Has Negative Effects on Agriculture
D．Light Pollution from Street Lights Could Drive Insect Loss

67．第二节阅读下面材料，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。
An awkward experience
I was walking along the road to school one day and I met my friend Raine. He suggested that we skip school and go to the movies. I refused because my dad was very strict and I knew he would be mad. Raine offered various reasons but I still refused. Finally, he said there was a Will Smith movie at the local cinema and that I couldn't afford to miss it. Finally curiosity got the better of me and I agreed to go.
So we set off to the movies together, bought our tickets, popcorn and drinks and settled down comfortably. The movie was due to start in fifteen minutes and the lights were still on. We watched people coming in groups, families and there were couples too. Some of them looked like school students cutting classes like us. As I turned around, I suddenly caught sight of my uncle Andy and aunt Jane walking in. I sank into my seat quickly to avoid being spotted. I signaled to Raine that there was someone I didn't want to see. But Raine made it more obvious by turning around and asking "Who And where " loudly, which made me sit even lower in my seat.
To make things worse, they came and sat just in the row behind us. I couldn't help but overhear（偷听） their conversation. They were discussing how much I would have loved to come to this movie, knowing my admiration for Will Smith. They were even commenting about the students cutting classes. They spoke in a low voice, but their words were loud enough for me to catch. They discussed the bad influence of cutting classes and the importance of studying hard at school. My heart sank with these words. It was as if they were unknowingly lecturing me, reminding me why I shouldn't have given in to Raine's suggestion.
注意：1. 续写短文的词数应为150左右；2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
Soon the lights were turned off and the movie began.

67．One possible version:
Soon the lights were turned off and the movie began. However, I didn't enjoy the movie at all for fear of being spotted. I sank my body further into my seat, praying that they wouldn't notice me. Every now and then I would steal glances at them. Every time they chatted in a whisper, my heart was pounding violently. Thankfully, after what seemed years, the movie came to an end and the lights came on. I waited anxiously until my aunt and uncle left the cinema. I let out a sigh of relief, dashed for the door and tried to make a quick exit with Raine. To my surprise, my uncle and aunt were standing at the exit smiling. When they called out my name, I was so embarrassed that I lowered my head with a burning face, unsure of what to do. They walked up to me and my aunt asked why I was absent from school patiently. Palms sweating, I stammered out an excuse but they seemed unconvinced. Patting my shoulder gently, my uncle promised, "We won't tell your father but hope that you won't skip school again." I nodded my head in great shame. From then on, this awkward experience kept reminding me of the importance of honesty and responsibility in my life. /This experience has taught me that sometimes we need to make a tough decision to do what is right.
