Naples is raw and unapologetically real. It’s the soul of Italy, filled with confusing streets, ancient history, and
delicious food. Unlike the polished tourist centers of Rome or Florence, Naples offers a genuinely unspoiled
experience. It doesn’t try to put on a show to impress; instead, it simply exists in its pure and raw form, and that’s
exactly what makes it an unforgettable destination.
Royal Palace of Naples
Royal Palace of Naples is a must-visit for history and architecture lovers. Located in the heart of the city, it
showcases the lifestyle of Italian royalty with grand halls, elegant staircases, and fantastic art collections. The palace
offers breathtaking rooms with frescoes (壁画) and views of the Bay of Naples, creating a unique cultural
experience.
Address: Piazza del Plebiscito, 1, 80132, Napoli NA
Bagno Elena Beach
This beach is an ideal place to relax and cool off after a busy day of sightseeing. It’s family-friendly, with clean,
calm waters and smooth sand. While there is an entrance fee, it’s affordable and well worth it, as this is the best beach
option within the city. Plus, you’ll enjoy a unique view of Naples with the cityscape in the background.
Address: Via Posillipo, 14, 80123 Napoli NA
Napoli Sotterranea
While Naples has much to offer above ground, one often overlooked aspect is the city beneath the city. This tour
allows you to explore hidden tunnels and ancient remains, providing a unique glimpse into centuries of Naples’
history that you might never have imagined.
Address: Piazza San Gaetano 68 Naples
Castel Nuovo
This castle, standing for over 800 years, is another iconic landmark of Naples. Its entrance is truly striking,
featuring an arch framed by two towering columns. Inside, you’ll find a museum filled with incredible artwork,
offering plenty to explore.

The concept of “China chic”, or guochao, has become popular in recent years. According to relevant data, the
search volume for the keyword “Guochao” increased by 392.66% year-on-year from January to July 2022. The Baidu
2021 Guochao Pride Search Big Data Report revealed that interest in guochao has skyrocketed over the past 10
years. Domestic products are now in fashion, and domestic consumption has increasingly become an important choice
for the new generation of consumers.
China chic integrates unique cultural elements with the latest trends across various industries. It not only meets
younger consumers’ desire for personality and fashion but also helps revive traditional culture. The rise of China chic
is a result of China’s rapid economic development and is driven by certain cultural motivations. Additionally, the
continuous improvement of Chinese people’s consumption power is an important factor behind the rise of China
chic.
Most importantly, cultural confidence is the driving force behind the rise of China chic. Five thousand years of
Chinese civilization have left behind a rich cultural heritage. In many ways, guochao is the perfect representative of
the new wave of Chinese cultural pride. Originating in the fashion industry, this trend reflects Chinese consumers’
renewed interest in their cultural heritage. The guochao trend is strongest among young adults who have grown up in
an increasingly powerful China and thus possess a strong sense of national pride. China’s national strength is growing,
and its soft power is also on the rise.
Even so, we still have a long way to go in promoting China chic. But as it has become a part of people’s lives,
there is no doubt that even more diverse China chic products will emerge in the future to showcase Chinese charm.
24. What does the underlined word “skyrocketed” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Risen sharply. B. Dropped obviously.
C. Remained stable. D. Changed slightly.
.
25 Which best describes “China chic”?
A. It aims mainly to promote Chinese exports.
B. It mixes traditional culture with current trends.
C. It attracts mostly middle-aged and older consumers.
D. It draws major inspiration from Western fashion styles.
第4页/共11页
学科网(北京)股份有限公司26. What is identified as the primary driver behind the rise of China chic?
A. The expansion of China’s economy.
B. The growth in people’s purchasing power.
C. A renewed sense of cultural identity.
D. The influence of social media on the youth.
27. What does the author imply about the future of China chic?
A. It will soon lead global fashion.
B. It will need more policy support.
C. It will remain a small market.
D. It will continue to develop and diversify.
C
Good manners used to mean simple courtesy (礼节) and being kind. Today it seems we may fear doing or saying
the wrong thing, and for good reason. Given the power of the Internet, a faux pas (失礼) can mean losing a friend —
or your job.
Covering the ins and outs of civil behavior for the past 20-plus years, I have learned that, fortunately, good
intentions never go out of style. Even better, science tells us that acts of kindness are infectious: If I treat you right,
you’ re more likely to treat the next person better.
TO HOLD OR NOT TO HOLD — THE DOOR
Q: My husband always opens doors for women (he’s over 80). But the younger women cast him a look of pure
shock and rush past him without a thank-you. So sad, why has such a basic kindness gone out of style?
— Jo Garcia
A: Let me uncomplicate things: If I’m first to the door, I’m going to pull it open and let you go first, whether
you’ re a man or a woman. A push door can be awkward, but I’ll usually go through first (with my most charming
“Allow me”) and then hold it for you. I give the same advice to my sister (and all women): First one there opens the
door and holds it.
The one time to break the rule: If the person ahead of you needs assistance or is much older, step up and open
the door. And for those of us on the receiving end of a door kindness, I hope we all say “Thank you” as we pass by.
NO THANK-YOU NOTES=NO MORE GIFTS?
Q: It especially bothers me when I give a child a gift and there is no acknowledgement from the parent or the
child. What are my options?
— Sharon Taft
A: I’m the quick-witted uncle to three nieces, which means I rely on humor to make a point. One time, several
第5页/共11页
学科网(北京)股份有限公司weeks after the holidays had gone by, I e-mailed one of the girls: “I can’t thank you enough for thank-you note.” That
inspired a quick, and guilty, thank-you from her. Then there was the year I boycotted (抵制) them: no gifts. You bet
they noticed, and they did a fine job with their thank-you e-mails once I resumed gift giving. (Yes, e-mail is just fine,
especially when compared with the alternative — no response.)
But I learned a lesson, too: I try my best to thank those who express kindness to me, whether it’s a flight attendant
helping me with a bag or these same nieces — now young adults — who recently made an amazing dinner for our
family. There’s a theory that gratitude begets gratitude. I believe that now.
28. Both Jo Garcia and Sharon Taft are puzzled by __________.
A. what makes young people so rude B. what kindness means to young adults
C. why kindness is not infectious nowadays D. why some good manners are out of date
.
29 Which statement is the writer most likely to agree with?
A. Men should always hold the door for women.
B. It is always necessary to express our gratitude.
C. Jo should remind her husband of his impoliteness.
D. Being humorous matters more than being polite.
30. What can we infer from the uncle’s experience of boycotting gifts for his nieces?
A. sending a thank-you email is worse than not expressing gratitude at all.
B. The nieces didn’t care about whether they received gifts from their uncle at all.
C. The uncle resumed giving gifts to his nieces after they expressed their appreciation.
D. The absence of gifts made the nieces realize they should have expressed gratitude.
31. This passage is most likely taken from a __________.
A. social science journal B. newspaper advice column
C. celebrity interview script D. interpersonal relationship report
D
This is a story about two kinds of intelligence: artificial intelligence and emotional intelligence. How often do
we hear these two terms together?
But now SoftBank, a Japanese company, is using AI to create a tool known as Soft Voice. This tool adjusts the
voices of angry customers so that call center employees can avoid dealing with trouble.
的
The new tool, Soft Voice, will monitor callers’ voices in real time, detect if they become abusive (辱骂 ), and
change their tone (语气) of voice to make it easier on the employee’s ears. SoftBank insists it won’t change the
words that customers say, but instead will do things like lower an angry voice to make it less grating.
第6页/共11页
学科网(北京)股份有限公司SoftVoice supposedly won’t remove 100 percent of the angry tone, so that call center employees will know
objectively that a customer is angry. But it will remove enough to remove any sign of abuse. As an added feature,
the SoftVoice AI product will also detect if a customer’s abuse has gone on too long and play an automated
message that says: “We regret to inform you that we are going to discontinue our service.”
Now, as much as this is an artificial intelligence development, it’s also a great example of using AI to increase
emotional intelligence. And that’s what this AI product does: remove the expression of other people’s unhelpful
emotions, making it easier for employees to do their jobs. The possibilities seem endless — and I admit, potentially
worrying.
Imagine a future where many people in the same conversation could use technology like Soft Voice in real
time to change each other’s emotions — or even their word choice. Or imagine people using AI to change the tone
of what they say. The tone sometimes determines the content; would companies be on the hook (担负责任) for an
employee’s AI-driven promise to a customer if it slightly changed the meaning? Still, at least it sounds like it’s
designed to improve people’s lives.
32. Why does SoftBank develop Soft Voice?
A. To protect employees from angry customers.
B. To simplify difficult work.
C. To treat mental problems.
D. To comfort customers.
33. What does the underlined word “grating” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Hurried. B. Pleasant. C. Annoying. D. Understandable.
34. What potential future concern does the author mention regarding technologies like Soft Voice?
A. It will break promises.
B. It will mainly be used in call centers.
C. It may cause potential problems later.
D. It may completely remove customers’ anger.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. The Rise of Artificial Intelligence in Japan
B. SoftBank: A Leader in Emotional Intelligence
C. Using AI to Manage Human Emotions at Work
D. The Challenges Faced by Call Center Employees

It is brave to admit your mistake. You may be scared of being scolded. But it is the only way for you to be free
from guilt.
Simon was a curious boy. He lived with his grandfather. Simon was fond of reading adventure stories. So he
was always curious about the store room where his grandfather kept his priceless antiques(古董). Though Simon
第10页/共11页
学科网(北京)股份有限公司knew his grandfather did not like anyone to touch his rare collections, he quietly entered the storeroom without his
grandfather’s permission one night.
Once inside the room, Simon stood on a chair. He lifted the big box wherein his grandfather had kept many
valuable watches bought from different countries he had visited. While getting down from the chair, Simon’s
elbow(肘部) struck against the chair. When he tried his best to pull his arm out, the box slipped out of his hands
and fell onto the floor. All the watches lay all around. To his shock, he found the glass of his grandfather’s favorite
watch broken. Simon was afraid that his grandfather would come to know about the broken glass. He started
picking up the pieces of glass hurriedly. Simon thought, “My grandmother gifted the watch to my grandfather. This
must be one of his most treasured possessions. How could I tell him that his favorite watch had broken? He must be
angry with me. If I do not tell him, he will not come to know about it.” Simon got nervous. His heart started beating
faster. He put the broken watch back into the box and placed the box back on the shelf. Afterwards, he went to
sleep. However, he could not sleep in peace throughout the whole night. The broken watch even showed up in his
dream.
The next morning, Simon got up much earlier than before. The sleepless night made him realize that holding
back the truth itself was more uncomfortable than breaking the watch. “But that watch is Grandpa’s favorite and he
told me to be careful of the box before.” Simon said to himself and didn’t dare to face his grandfather.
注意:1. 续写词数150左右;
2. 请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Though still worried about himself being scolded, Simon finally gathered the courage to see his grandfather.
