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.

Eileen Gu– also known by her Chinese name, Gu Ailing – was born in 2003 in San Francisco. Her father is American and her mother is Chinese. Eileen started skiing when she was only three years old and became champion of the junior group of the USA Snowboard and Freeski Association at the age of nine. She earned her first World Cup victory at the FIS Freeski World Cup Slopestyle in Seiser Alm, Italy in January 2019. Then, on June 6 of the same year, she announced that she would be representing China competitively via her Instagram account.
Feb 8 was Gu Ailing’s day, when she won gold in the women’s freestyle skiing big air event at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. Gu made history that day, as it was her first time at the Olympics. It was also the first time a Chinese athlete participated in the contest and struck gold. She was expectedly trending on social networking sites.
Yet, the gold medal is not the only reason behind Gu’s increasing popularity. After the first two rounds, Gu was trailing far behind her French competitor Tess Ledeux. However, she strove hard and made it in her last jump. Besides, when she got gold and Ledeux got silver, Gu was graceful enough to hug the latter in a tight embrace. In interviews after the contest, Gu said she participated in the Winter Olympics not to defeat her rivals but to do her best.
What really helped her win so many hearts was her reaction to difficult questions on Twitter and Facebook, where some asked why she competed for China when she grew up in the United States. She was subjected to similar questions in news conferences before and after the contest, but she breezed through them. Sample some of her answers. “I feel just as American as Chinese. I don’t feel I’m taking advantage of one or another. They understand that my mission is to foster a connection between countries and not be a divisive force.”
Gu came across as not just another athlete, but a woman with a warm heart and an open mind. Her virtues, namely fearlessness, confidence and openness, helped her resonate with audiences on both sides of the Pacific. Maybe those shooting questions at her should learn a little from her.
4. What can we learn about Gu Ailing
A. She began learning skiing at an early age and soon showed her talent.
B. She earned her first World Cup victory when she was only 14.
C. She publicized her decision to compete for China in an interview.
D. She was the first Chinese athlete to participate in the Olympics.
5. Why did Gu Ailing competed for China regardless of her American background
A. To win gold medal more easily. B. To win audience’s hearts.
C. To promote the unity between countries. D. To become well-known on social networking sites.
6. What’s the author’s attitude to those shooting questions at Gu Ailing
A. Admiring. B. Disapproving. C. Understanding. D. Indifferent.
7. What’s the best title of the passage
A. Gu Ailing—a unique gold winner. B. Gu Ailing—a girl making history.
C. Gu Ailing—an excellent athlete. D. Gu Ailing—a girl competing for China.
C
This morning, while tidying up my office, I found an open box of packaged chocolate cookies that I’d bought sometime last year. The use-by date had come and gone more than eight months ago. Curious, I took a small bite. They still tasted pretty good.
Welcome to the world of ultra-processed (超加工) foods. And we’re eating a lot of them. Ultra-processed foods currently make up nearly 60% of what the typical adult eats, and nearly 70% of what kids eat. They include everything from cookies and sodas to packaged breads and frozen meals, even ice creams. You might not realize you’re eating one, but look close and you’ll see many ingredients you wouldn’t find in your kitchen.
And a large and growing amount of evidence has consistently linked overconsumption of ultra-processed foods to poor health outcomes. “Too much of it leads to obesity and type two diabetes (糖尿病) and heart disease and cancer.” says Christopher Gardner, a professor at Stanford University, who has spent decades studying the links between diet and chronic disease (慢性病).
One reason ultra-processed foods likely lead to health issues seems obvious: They tend to be low in fiber and high in calories, salt, added sugar and fat, which are all linked with poor health outcomes when eaten too much.
Eventually, Gardner says the burden of making healthier food choices shouldn’t fall completely on consumers-especially when it comes to setting kids up for better health long term. “It does need the whole society to pay attention to this, to work together, including the food industry and the government, to be able to reduce the amount of ultra-processed food our kids are consuming in their day,” he says.
8. What does the author want to say in the second paragraphs
A. Ultra-processed foods preserve the flavor long.
B. Ultra-processed foods have become a big part of our diet.
C. Convenience explains the popularity of ultra-processed foods.
D. A lot of health problems result from consumption of ultra-processed foods.
9. What does the underlined word “overconsumption” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Overproduction. B. Overselling. C. Overstore. D. Overeating.
10. What is a result of too much ultra-processed food in people’s lives
A. Fewer diseases. B. Health problems.
C. Dietary changes. D. Market competition.
11. What is Gardner’s suggestion for making kids healthier in the long term
A. Punish the food industry. B. Reduce kids’ consumption.
C. Unite efforts from all sides. D. Make smarter food choices.
D
A computer programme can identify breast cancer from routine scans with greater accuracy than human experts Researchers said they hoped this could prove a breakthrough in the fight against the global killer.
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women all over the world, with more than 2 million new diagnoses last year alone. Whether breast cancer is severe is closely related to the time of diagnosis. Therefore, the regular examination is vital in detecting the earliest signs of the disease in patients who show no obvious symptoms.
In Britain, women over 50 are advised to get a mammogram(乳房X光检查) every three years, the results of which are interpreted by two independent experts in order to reduce errors in diagnosis. But interpreting the scans leaves room for error, and a small percentage of all mammograms either return a false positive—misdiagnosing a healthy patient as having cancer or false negative—missing the disease as it spreads.
Now researchers at Google Health have trained an artificial intelligence model to detect cancer in breast scans from thousands of women in Britain and the United States. The images had already been reviewed by doctors in real life but unlike in a clinical setting, the machine had no patient history to inform its diagnoses.
The team found that their AI model could predict breast cancer from the scans with a similar accuracy level to expert radiographers, who are trained to take X-rays. Further, the AI showed a reduction in the percentage of cases where cancer was incorrectly identified—5.7 percent in the US and 1.2 percent in Britain, respectively. It also reduced the percentage of missed diagnoses by 9.4 percent among US patients and by 2.7 percent in Britain.
“The earlier you identify a breast cancer, the better it is for the patient.” Dominic King, UK leading scientist at Google Health, told AFP. “We think about this technology in a way that supports and enables an expert, or a patient ultimately, to get the best outcome from whatever diagnostics(诊断法) they’ve had.”
12. What do we learn about breast cancer
A. It has become the top killer of all cancers.
B. It is typical for two doctors to analyze the scans together.
C. The program has succeeded in the fight against breast cancer.
D. Its seriousness is strongly connected with the time of its diagnosis.
13. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of the artificial intelligence model
A A lower percentage of missed diagnoses.
B. A smaller percentage of mistakenly identified cases.
C. No errors in mammograms being returned in a false result.
D. No requirement for patient history to inform its diagnoses.
14. What can be inferred from Dominic King’s words
A. The AI model has no delay in the detection of breast cancer.
B. The AI model can be of great help in diagnosing breast cancer.
C. The technology will equip patients with more expert knowledge.
D. Breast cancers can be definitely cured if identified early enough.
15. Which is the main idea of the text
A. A cure for breast cancer has been confirmed.
B. A breakthrough in AI technology has been made.
C. Researchers trained an AI model to help detect breast cancer.
D. A computer program avoids errors in identifying breast cancer.

The Secret of Flowers
Sumiko worked with her mother in their vegetable garden every day. The produce from their garden was sold at the farmer’s market. This is how they made their living. Sumiko’s job was to make sure the daikon radish (白萝卜) plants were never too dry. Each day Sumiko would push her finger into the soil to test for moisture (水分), and then carefully water any plant that needed it. Sumiko often imagined the plants she tended were beautiful chrysanthemums (菊花), like Mrs. Higaki’s prize flowers.
Sumiko envied (羡慕) Mrs. Higaki. If she could sell flowers like Mrs. Higaki, she would be able to buy things for her mother. But chrysanthemums were expensive to start, and Sumiko could only dream about growing them.
One day, Sumiko visited Mrs. Higaki to see her flowers. Mrs. Higaki was checking her chrysanthemums when she arrived. The garden of flowers springing up excited Sumiko.
“I wish I could grow beautiful chrysanthemums and win a prize at the festival like you.”
“You ” Mrs. Higaki laughed. “Child, do you know what’s required to grow such flowers The secret to growing prize chrysanthemums has been passed down to me from past generations of my family. And you ” She chuckled (轻声笑). “Stick to vegetables, child. Leave flowers to those who know the secret of flowers.”
Mrs. Higaki returned to her gardening, ignoring the sad look on Sumiko’s face. Then she pulled up what looked like a weed (杂草).
“What’s that ” Sumiko asked.
“A shabby (破烂的) plant. Unworthy of my time — too weak to trouble,” Mrs. Higaki said before throwing the shabby plant into the field beside the garden.
Sumiko smiled. She had an idea. She politely said goodbye to Mrs. Higaki and went out the garden gate, quickly picking up the shabby plant before rushing home.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;

【57题答案】
【答案】Sumiko found a quiet place and planted the shabby plant carefully. She watered it daily, nurturing it with care and attention. She imagined it would one day grow into a beautiful chrysanthemum, and she was determined to prove Mrs. Higaki wrong. With each passing day, the plant grew stronger and taller, but still it did not resemble a chrysanthemum. However, Sumiko did not give up, and she continued to care for it with love and patience.
On festival morning, Sumiko jumped with joy upon seeing her little plant flowering. It was not a chrysanthemum, but a vibrant and unique bloom, its petals a soft pink with delicate white edges. She knew she had achieved something special. She took the flower to the festival, and although it did not win a prize, it did win the admiration of many. Mrs. Higaki, seeing Sumiko’s proud face and the unique flower, realized that the secret of flowers was not just passed down from generation to generation, but also found in the hearts of those who cared deeply for them.
