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 Aless andro 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.

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 on stage 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, marshes and lands teamed
with an astonishing variety of wildlife. Native Americans had been wise stewards of these precious natural
resources. Unfortunately, it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades
to decimate a large 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 ad over must annually purchase and carry a
Federal Duck Stamp. The very first Federal Duck Stamp was designed by JN. "Ding" Darling, a political
cartoonist from Des Moines, Iowa, 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 watersports.
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 in1934?
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 the most 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.
D
Popularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional(情感的) intelligence. Many
people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person's make up that
cannot be measured by an IQ test, such as character, motivation, confidence, mental stability, optimism and
"people skill." Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities, but most
of them move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence.
We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad
purposes. The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how
best to help her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential victims. Being emotionally
intelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person.
Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably
support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful. The most positive aspect
of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis(重视)on emotion by employers, educators and
others interested in promoting social well-being. The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped
42021年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试(新高考卷I)
both the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people
adaptively in everyday life.
Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable, we hope that such attention
will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming
decades, advances in science will offer new perspectives(视角) from which to study how people manage
their lives. Emotional intelligence, with its focus on both head and heart, may serve to point us in the right
direction.
32.What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intelligence?
A. It can be measured by an IQ test.
B. It helps to exercise a person's mind.
C. It includes a set of emotional skills.
D. It refers to a person's positive qualities.
33.Why does the author mention "doctor" and "cheater" in paragraph 2?
A. To explain a rule. B. To clarify a concept.
C. To present a fact. D. To make a prediction.
34.What is the author's attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence?
A. Favorable. B. Intolerant. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
35.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional intelligence?
A. Its appeal to the public. B. Expectations for future studies.
C. Its practical application. D. Scientists with new perspectives.

My husband and I just spent a week in Paris. 36 So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically
expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard. It was so tiny that we had to leave our suitcases in
the hallway.
The place wasn't entirely authentic, though. Unlike a normal Parisian apartment, the plumbing (水
管)worked 37 Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that said, "Ouverture des
portes,"in perfect French. That is the only French phrase I mastered, and it's a shame I don't have much use
for it.
Parisians are different from you and me. They never look lazy or untidy. As someone noted in this paper a
couple of weeks ago, they eat great food and never gain weight. 38 French strawberries do not taste
like cardboard Instead, they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs.
39 On our first morning in Paris, I went around the comer to the food market to pick up some groceries.
I bought a handful of perfectly ripe small strawberries and a little sweet melon. My husband and I agreed
they were the best fruit we had ever eaten. But they cost $18!
In France, quality of life is much more important than efficiency（效率）. You can tell this by cafe life.
French cafés are always crowded. 40 When do these people work? The French take their 35-hour
workweek seriously - so seriously that some labor unions recently struck deal with a group of companies
limiting the number of hours that independent contractors can be on call.
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/how-to-live-like-a-parisian-while-you-can/article19161397/
A. Not all the customers are tourists.
B. The quality of life in Franc is equally excellent.
C. There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed.
D. The amazing food is mainly consumed by local farmers.
E. That's not the only reason the French eat less than we do.
F. Our aim was to see if we could live, in some way, like real Parisians.
G The food is so delicious that you don't need much of it to make you happy.

Going to Mount Huangshan reminds me of the popular Beatles' song" The Long and Winding
Road". 56 is so breathtaking about the experience is the out-of-this-world scenes. The rolling sea of
clouds you see once you are at the top will remind you how tiny we 57(human) are.
The hot spring at the foot of the mountain is something you must try after the climb. It
will 58 (undoubted)help you get refreshed! The amazing thing about the spring is that the colder the
temperature gets, the 59 (hot) the spring! Strange, isn't it? But that's how nature is-always leaving
us 60 (astonish).
What comes next is the endless series of steps. You can't help wondering how hard it 61
(be) for the people then to put all those rocks into place. Though it is the only unnatural thing on your way
up the mountain, still it highlights the whole adventure 62 offers a place where you can sit down to
rest your 63 (ache) legs.
As the song goes, this long and winding road "will never disappear", and it will always stick in the visitor's
memory. It sure does in 64 (I). While you're in China, Mount Huangshan is 65 must to visit!

AMOTHER'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 am. 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.

Dear Editor-in-Chief,
Congratulations on the 10th anniversary of Youth.
I have been a devoted reader since I subscribed to the newspaper. Obsessed with it, I read each issue from
cover to cover. It boasts a variety of columns, of which Chinese culture is my favorite. The series of contents
not only introduces abundant cultural knowledge but also values the inheritance of brilliant culture and
strengthens our cultural confidence.
As a fan of Youth, I recommend that it will be better if it carries some articles about the life of foreign teens
and I hope that it will become even more popular.
Sincerely yours,
Li Hua

One Possible Version:
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.
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 stands 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.

Hello, everyone. Today I'll talk about how to improve your pronunciation. Language researchers say
pronunciation and fluency are the biggest barriers followed by grammar ineffective spoken English.
However, most people don't regard pronunciations a very important part of communication skills. They are
more focused on vocabulary. One reason is that most people are not even aware of their mispronunciations.
So it's important to first find out the words you mispronounce. You should listen to experts. By experts I
mean those who are less likely to make pronunciation mistakes. When listening to them, pay attention to
words that sound strange---strange because you pronounce the same words differently. When you come
across such words, check a dictionary to confirm their exact pronunciations. You can also search for
difficult-to-pronounce words and names and make a list of them. The last suggestion is to read aloud. Now
you've got the correct pronunciations of the words, it's time to practice reading them every day.

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.”
白天，罗伯特•提特顿是个律师。业余时间，他会与钢琴家玛丽亚•拉斯波波娃（Mania Raspopova)在
舞台上一起演出－－但他不是音乐家，而是一名乐谱翻页者。“我是没有受过专业训练的音乐家，但
我懂看谱，这样我就能在玛丽亚演奏时帮助她。”
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.
提特顿是欧米茄合奏团（澳大利亚最重要的专业室内乐组合之一）的负责人，过去 4年里，他还担
任了演奏团的官方翻页者。他的工作就是坐在钢琴师旁边为其翻乐谱，这样钢琴师就可以无须自己
翻页，一直流畅地演奏音乐。提特顿说工作时他和那些在舞台上演奏乐器的乐手一样紧张。
“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.
“这份工作需要很多工作技巧。首先你要确保不能一次翻两页。如果需要回到正确的乐章，你还要能
找到乐谱的重复旋律。”提特顿先生解释道。
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.
成为一名乐谱翻页者必须进行大量的练习。一些乐曲有 40分钟时长，需要翻页多达50次，包括重
复段落的倒转。有默契的舞台交流也很关键，每个钢琴家都有自己“默许”的风格来预示翻页，因此
钢琴家需要和翻页者一起演练。
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.”
但所有的表演都会有出错的时候。提特顿说：“有一次我翻乐章为下一页做准备，但这时备用页被翻
页时的风吹落了。幸运的是，我一把抓住了，并把乐章放了回去。”
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.
尽管拉斯波波娃也曾请自己的丈夫到舞台上帮忙翻页，但多数翻页者是钢琴初学者或崭露头角的音
乐会钢琴家。
“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.”
她笑着说：“我丈夫是最差的翻页者了。他对音乐很感兴趣，也能感受每一个音符，但是我总是要提
醒他：‘翻页，翻页’。罗伯特是我这辈子见过的最好的翻页者了。
2021新高考I卷C 篇
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).

当探险家首次踏上北美大陆时，天空中和陆地上满是野生动物，生机勃勃，种类繁多。当初美洲土
著人非常明智地保护了这些宝贵的动物自然资源。不幸的是，仅仅几十年的时间，这些探险者和定
居者就毁掉了很大一部分资源。数以百万计的水禽被市场屠宰或被少数野心的猎手捕猎。数百万英
亩的湿地被人为地弄干，以养活和安置不断新增的人口，大大减少了水鸟的栖息地。
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.
1934年，随着《候鸟捕猎印花税法案》的通过，国家越来越关注这一问题，坚定地采取行动来阻止
对候鸟水禽的猎杀，并停止破坏它们赖以生存的湿地。根据这项法案，所有 16岁及以上的水禽猎人
每年必须购买并携帯联邦鸭子邮票。第一枚联邦鸭子邮票是由 J.N设计的。来自爱荷华州得梅因的
政治漫画家“丁”达林，当时被罗斯福总统任命为生物调查局局长。猎人原意支付邮票的价格，以确
保自然资源可持续。
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.
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。这就为保护这片土地提供了保障，保护自然资源，造福子孙后代。自 1934年
以来，已购买水禽栖息地500多万英亩，所用资金超过 5亿美元。难怪会称联邦鸭子邮票计划是有
史以来最成功的保护计划之一。
2021新高考I卷D篇
Popularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional (情感的) intelligence. Many
people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person’s makeup that
cannot be measured by an IQ test, such as character, motivation, confidence, mental stability, optimism and
“people skills.” Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities, but most
of them move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence.
情商概念越来越普及，而在某种情况下，其原始含义却被曲解了。如今，许多人将情商误解为人无
法通过智商测试衡量的一种理想品质，比如性格、动机、信心、心理稳定、乐观主义和“人际交往技
巧”等方面。研究表明，情感技巧可能有助于形成这些品质，但大部分些品质却远不在基于能力的情
商控制之下。
We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad
purposes. The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how
best to help her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential victims. Being emotionally
intelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person.
我们更倾向把情商描述为一组特定的技能，既可以出于好目的的又可以出于坏目的。这种准确理解
他人感受的能力医生可以用来找到最佳治疗方法，而骗子则可能用来控制潜在的受害者。情商高的
人，不一定有道德。
Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably
support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful. The most positive aspect
of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis (重视) on emotion by employers, educators and
others interested in promoting social well-being. The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped
both the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people
adaptively in everyday life.
122021年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试(新高考卷I)
尽管对情商观念的普遍看法非常超前，相关研究远远不能提供合理的支持，但情商观念普及的整体
效果还是利大于弊。情商普及最为积极一面是，雇主、教育工作者和其他对促进社会福利感兴趣的
人都开始重视情商，这种重视是非常需要的。情商的普及有助于公众和研究人员重新评估情绪的功
效，以及情绪在日常生活中如何更好地为人们服务。
Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable, we hope that such attention
will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming
decades, advances in science will offer new perspectives (视角) from which to study how people manage
their lives. Emotional intelligence, with its focus on both head and heart, may serve to point us in the right
direction.
虽然情商继续受到大众的关注是可取的，但我们希望这种关注能激起对情感科学研究和学术研究的
兴趣。我们希望在未来的几十年里，科学的进步将为研究人们如何管理自己的生活提供新的视角。
专注于头脑和心灵的情商，也许能为我们指明正确的方向。
