Explore our guides lo Rome's attractions, restaurants, shopping, nightlife and amazing things to do. Morning Start your day with a Roman breakfast of cappuccino and cornetto at elegant Bar Rosati, which at this morning hour still has a relaxing atmosphere. Then cross the square to the church of Santa Maria del Popolo, an artistic treasure world in which two strikingly dramatic canvases by Caravaggio stand out. Afternoon Brave the crowds and head for the Colosseum/Forum/Palatine complex. Half circus, half sports stadium, Rome s most famous classical ruin is unmissable- - -especially now that they have extended the visitor route to he underfloor passageways through which gladiators (角斗士) and wild beasts made their entrances. Walk from the Colosseum through the Forum to the pretty Palatine Hill, where Romulus legendarily founded Rome, and where emperors such as Augustus built their palaces. Late Dine al one o[ Rome's new breed of creative restaurants. In Trastevere, La Gensola offers a mix of tasty Roman specialities and Sicilian-style seafood dishes in an informal setting. Alternatively, head for Testaccio and grab a pizza at Da Remo or an aperitivo at the Enoteca Palombi, known for its selection of beers from across the globe. Do you know? Dress code in churches: shoulders covered and modest dress length for women, while for men vests and really short shorts are frowned on-- -though these rules are only strictly enforced in major churches like St. Peter's. 21. Where can you enjoy canvases by Caravaggio? A. Bar Rosati. B. Santa Maria del Popolo. C. The Forum. D. St. Peter's. 22. What's an advantage of visiting Colosseum now? A. It holds more people. B.

When I was six years old, my sister taught ballet to us little girls. I was about a foot taller and a foot wider than most of the group. When it came to doing our first performance, I was so excited about wearing a pretty pink tutu (短裙) and shining on stage. As the other girls slipped easily into their tutus, none was big enough to fit me. I was determined not to be excluded from the performance, so I turned to my mother and loudly said，“Mom, I don't need a tutu. I need a fourfour. Although I didn't recognize it at the time, claiming space for myself in that glorious fourfour was the first step towards becoming a fat activist. I'm not saying that this has been an easy skip along a glittering path of self-acceptance since that day in class. Far from it. I soon learned that living outside what the mainstream considers normal can be a frustrating place. I've been openly laughed at and been told that I'm day-dreaming. I also receive smiles from strangers who recognize what it takes to walk down the street with your head held high. Through it all, that fierce little six-year-old has stayed with me, and she has helped me stand before you today as a person that simply refuses to subscribe to the dominant concept about how I should move through the world in this body of mine. And I'm not alone. I am part of an international community of people who choose to flourish in these bodies as they are today. We value mental health, self-worth and how we feel in our bodies as vital aspects to our overall well-being. We are the people who refuse to believe that living in these fat bodies is a barrier to anything. 24. What can we learn about the author at the age of six? A. She was ashamed of her body. B. She was eager to perform. C. She was laughed at by others. D. She was praised by her sister. 25. What does the underlined word“excluded" in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Returned. B. Hidden. C. Prevented. D. Protected. 26. How was the author's journey to self- acceptance? A. Smooth. B. Heart-breaking. C. Lonely. D. Bitter-sweet. 27. What is the author's opinion according to the passage? A. Fat people should try to lose weight. B. People shouldn't care about how they look. C. Slim people have better control of their bodies. D. Being fat can't stop people doing what they like. C Cornwall Council apologised to the public after a citizen complained that one of its buildings was lit up“like a Christmas tree”at midnight during an energy crisis. On Saturday, a dog walker, Stuart, discovered a brightly-lighted Chy Trevail building in Bodmin,which accommodates more than 600 staff. The witness said,“How can the council explain for leaving all the lights and TVs on? We're constantly told there is an energy crisis. They put our council tax up. For what reason? Because they employed stalf that forget how to use a light switch?" There were complaints about a similar issue last summer when Lys Kernow, formerly the New County Hall in Truro was pictured with all the lights on past midnight both inside and outside. A council spokesman admitted it was an error.“Following an investigation, we can confirm some lights at Chy Trevail were left switched on accidentally,”he said，“Training will be given to the workers who made the mistake to ensure this is not to happen again. Cornwall Council is committed to reducing its energy use and has taken many steps to do so, including the installation (安装) of solar panels at both County Hall in Truro and at Chy Trevail. A new lighting control system has also been installed in Truro to ensure the amount of time lights are left switched on is minimised." Chy Trevail includes a central hall for the main reception and public facilities, as well as open- plan flexible workspaces over three floors. The building has“a special design driven by a challenging display energy certificate rating and includes 200kw photovoltaics (太阳能光伏) to generate on-site renewable energy, low energy LED lighting, improved insulation, air-tightness and measures to reduce water consumption Cornwall Council previously declared a climate emergency and hopes to be carbon neutral by 2030.The local authority has invested in LED lighting at Lys Kernow and uses renewably -sourced energy to power the building, including solar energy from panels installed on the roof. 28. What did Stuart see on Saturday night? A. Over 600 staff working overtime. B. A Christmas tree being decorated. C. Bright lights burning in a council building. D. Couneil workers turning on office lights. 29. How will the workers involved be dealt with by the council? A. They will be educated. B. They will be fired. C. They will be blamed. D. They will be fined. 30. Which word can properly describe the Chy Trevail building? A. Peaceful. B. Convenient. C. Low-cost. D. Energy-efficient. 31. What's the main idea of the text? A. Council staff learn a lesson from leaving lights on. B. Cornwall Council is accused of wasting tax money. C. A council building is equipped with high technology. D. A dog-walker made a complaint about an energy crisis. D Some vaccines (疫苗) offer lifelong protection against a disease while other vaccines have to be regularly boosted. What's the difference? "The measles virus is basically the same one that was around in 1936,” says Schaffner, professor of infectious diseases at Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC), calling it a“very stable virus."Because of this, the measles vaccine offers lifelong protection after the second dose (剂). There is a reliable antibody test for measles, but the vaccine's effect is so proven and solid that you probably don't need it, as long as you were fully vaccinated as a child. Other live viruses like mumps and rubella are also remarkably stable, and thus don't need to be repeated. The flu virus, however, is very“plastic" , says Schaffner. "They put on a new sport coat once in a while that changes the way we measure protection against them." That's why the experts recommend an annual flu shot to protect against the strain (菌株) that's expected to dominate that season. The various flu strains are related, so even if a different flu virus takes over, you're still going to enjoy some protection. The Tdap vaccine is another one that doesn't last forever, which protects against a number of diseases (tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis). A booster is recommended every 10 years, or with every pregnancy. This is because pertussis, also known as whooping cough, has increased sharply in the last couple of decades. Moms and babies are at higher risk of being targeted by this disease. It's also helpful to get boosted on schedule because if you step on a nail or other sharp metal object, tetanus won't be nearly as much of a concern if you're pre - protected. Decades' worth of research have set this booster schedule. If you're concerned about whether or not you 're still protected by a particular vaccine, the best course is to talk to your doctor. An antibody test will be recommended, and if you' re past due they'll recommend getting up to date. 32. What do measles and rubella viruses have in common? A. They don't change much with time. B. They interact with each other. C. They need to be vaccinated repeatedly. D. They were first discovered in 1936. 33. The annual flu vaccine if a different flu strain spreads. A. is barely effective B. offers some protection C. is basically outdated D. needs some improvement 34. Who are more likely to be affected by pertussis? A. Adolescents. B. Young children. C. Adults. D. The senior. 35. What's probably the function of an antibody test? A. Protecting people from certain virus. B. Ensuring a treatment for a disease. C. Checking the protection of a vaccine. D. Providing an up-to-date body examination. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 ChatGPT Arrives Have you ever wished that an AI could write something for you?_ 36 Well, ChatGPT may soon make that dream a reality.
