The city of Venice, Italy, has finally launched its long-awaited tourist entry fee. After years of discussion and delays, the five-dollar fee came into effect on April 25, 2024. The fee is required for day-trippers visiting the historic city during peak hours from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm.
The mayor of Venice, Luigi Brugnaro, stated that the measure was not designed to bring in money but to manage the flow of tourists. "Our goal is to make Venice livable again," he said in an interview. On its first day, the system appeared to be working. City officials reported smaller crowds and shorter lines at popular attractions like St. Mark's Square.
However, not everyone is happy with the new fee. Some local residents complain that it turns their home into a museum. "We are not a park; we are a city. We should not have to pay to enter our own city," said one lifelong resident. Meanwhile, some tourists were unaware of the new policy and were frustrated when asked to pay.
What is the main purpose of Venice's entry fee
A. To increase the city's income.
B. To control the number of tourists.
C. To improve the city's attractions.
D. To encourage longer stays.
How did the new system affect Venice on its first day
A. It caused confusion among all tourists.
B. It resulted in fewer visitors at key sites.
C. It was strongly opposed by the mayor.
D. It failed to achieve its intended goal.
What is a concern raised by some local residents
A. The fee is too high for most tourists.
B. It makes the city feel less like a real home.
C. It will discourage tourists from visiting.
D. The implementation hours are too limited.
B
For many students, the transition from high school to university is a challenging experience. They face not only academic pressures but also the need to adapt to independent living. A recent study conducted by the University of Oxford found that students who participate in extracurricular activities adjust better and perform better academically.
The study followed 500 freshmen over their first year. Those who joined clubs or sports teams reported higher levels of satisfaction and made friends more easily. Dr. Emily Carter, the lead researcher, explained, "These activities provide a structured social environment that reduces feelings of loneliness and helps students build a support network."
Furthermore, the study showed that these students had higher GPAs by the end of their second semester. "Time management is key," Dr. Carter added. "Students who are engaged in activities outside the classroom often learn to manage their time more effectively, which benefits their studies."
What is the main finding of the University of Oxford's study
A. High school preparation is crucial for university success.
B. Extracurricular activities help students adapt to university life.
C. Academic pressure is the biggest challenge for freshmen.
D. Most students feel lonely during their first year.
According to Dr. Carter, why do extracurricular activities help students
A. They improve students' academic skills directly.
B. They provide financial support for students.
C. They create a social environment and build networks.
D. They reduce the amount of time spent on studying.
What is the benefit of time management mentioned in the passage
A. It allows students to participate in more activities.
B. It helps students achieve higher grades.
C. It enables students to work part-time jobs.
D. It encourages students to live independently.
C
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing the field of creative arts, raising questions about the nature of creativity itself. AI programs can now produce paintings, compose music, and write poems that are indistinguishable from human-made works to the average person.
Earlier this year, an AI-generated painting sold for a surprising price at a famous auction house. This event sparked a heated debate: Can AI truly be creative Supporters argue that AI is a tool that expands human creativity. "It's like a new type of brush for a painter," says tech entrepreneur Li Wei. "The artist's vision is still essential, but AI provides new ways to express it."
Critics, however, worry that AI might devalue human effort. Renowned author Elena Martinez expressed her concern: "True art comes from human experience and emotion. A machine can mimic style, but it cannot understand the depth of human feeling." Despite these concerns, many artists are beginning to collaborate with AI, using it to explore new creative possibilities.
The debate is likely to continue as AI technology advances. What is clear is that the relationship between humans and machines in the creative process is becoming increasingly complex and intertwined.
What is the main topic of the passage
A. The high cost of AI-generated art.
B. The debate over AI's role in creative arts.
C. The technical process of creating AI art.
D. The history of AI development.
According to supporters, how should AI be viewed in the arts
A. As a threat to human artists.
B. As a replacement for human creativity.
C. As a tool that enhances creativity.
D. As a passing trend.
What is Elena Martinez's main criticism of AI art
A. It is too expensive to produce.
B. It lacks the emotional depth of human art.
C. It is technically imperfect.
D. It is not popular with the public.
D
The Great Green Wall is an ambitious project launched by several African countries to combat desertification in the Sahel region, south of the Sahara Desert. The goal is to plant a vast belt of trees across Africa, from Senegal in the west to Djibouti in the east.
Desertification, the process by which fertile land becomes desert, is a serious threat to millions of people in the region. It is primarily caused by climate change and human activities such as overfarming. The Great Green Wall aims to restore 100 million hectares of currently degraded land by 2030. If successful, it could absorb 250 million tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
The project is about more than just planting trees. It also focuses on sustainable land management and providing economic opportunities for local communities. Many villages are now growing gardens and using better farming techniques, which has improved food security.
However, the project faces significant challenges, including a lack of funding and political instability in some areas. Despite these difficulties, the project has made progress. So far, millions of trees have been planted in countries like Ethiopia and Nigeria, bringing hope to one of the world's most vulnerable regions.
What is the primary purpose of the Great Green Wall project
A. To create a new tourist attraction.
B. To stop the expansion of the desert.
C. To promote international trade.
D. To provide timber for the construction industry.
What is a secondary benefit of the project mentioned in the passage
A. Increasing rainfall throughout Africa.
B. Absorbing carbon dioxide from the air.
C. Discovering new species of plants.
D. Reducing the population in cities.
Which of the following is a challenge for the project
A. Lack of suitable land for planting.
B. Opposition from local communities.
C. Shortage of financial support.
D. Too many trees being planted.
What does the word "vulnerable" in the last paragraph most likely mean
A. Rich in resources.
B. Easy to damage.
C. Highly developed.
D. Difficult to access.

How to Build Healthy Eating Habits
Developing healthy eating habits is not about strict dietary limitations or depriving yourself of the foods you love. 14 It's about feeling great, having more energy, and stabilizing your mood. Here are some practical tips.
Focus on a Balanced Diet. Instead of thinking about "good" or "bad" foods, aim for balance. Your body needs protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins, and minerals to thrive. 15
Don't Skip Breakfast. A healthy breakfast can jumpstart your metabolism and prevent overeating later in the day. 16 Like a smoothie with fruit and yogurt or whole-grain cereal with milk.
Listen to Your Body. Ask yourself if you are truly hungry, or are you just bored, tired, or thirsty 17 Eating more slowly allows your body to signal when it's full.
Cook More Meals at Home. Preparing your own meals allows you to control the ingredients and portions. 18 You might find that you enjoy the process of cooking.
A. Start your day with something nutritious.
B. It also helps you develop a better relationship with food.
C. This means you should avoid eating between meals.
D. Rather, it's about having more energy and improving your health.
E. Sometimes we confuse these feelings with hunger.
F. So it's important to include a variety of foods from different food groups.
G. Many people find that they eat less when they use smaller plates.

The summer before Tom's senior year in high school, his parents informed him they would be moving to a new city due to his father's job transfer. Tom was shocked and angry. He had lived in his small hometown his entire life. All his friends were here. He was the star player on the school soccer team, and they had a real chance of winning the state championship this year. The move felt like a disaster.
On his first day at his new school, everything felt alien and overwhelming. The buildings were larger, the hallways more crowded, and he didn't recognize a single face. During lunch, he sat alone in the cafeteria, picking at his food and missing his old friends terribly. He decided he would just keep to himself, get through the year, and leave for college as soon as possible.
A few days later, as Tom was walking home, he noticed a poster for the school's soccer tryouts. His heart jumped. Soccer was his passion. But a voice in his head whispered, "What's the point You're just going to be the new guy. The team probably already has its star players."

续写段落开头语:Despite his doubts, Tom found himself walking towards the soccer field on the day of the tryouts.
续写段落开头语:After the tryout, the coach called Tom over.
注意: 续写词数应为150左右。
