I spent three busy days in the capital of Italy, seeing lots of tourist attractions and walking down streets lit by Christmas decorations. There were a lot of things I love about the city.Rome is one of the most ancient cities in the world and is full of wonderful relics (遺跡)from its distant past. These monuments include the Roman Forum and the vast Coliseum where gladiators used to fight each other until death and hunt animals coming from another country. The ruins of buildings and temples are fascinating.You can't quite believe how old they are.I studied the masterpieces of the Renaissance period at university and was very excited to see them in real life. I walked around the museum in Vatican City and saw plenty of famous sculptures(雕塑). The best part of the visit was, without doubt, the Sistine Chapel Ceiling, painted in the early 16th century by Michelangelo. It was so breathtaking that I couldn't tear my eyes away from it.In Rome, there is a lot of food on offer for tourists but some of it isn't of very good quality. I made an effort to find reliable restaurants to taste the popular meals of the region, like pasta with tomato，onion and bacon. I also loved eating ice cream and hot chocolate under the Christmas lights.Rome has not only lots of luxury boutiques (精品店) but also plenty of shops that were more in my price range! It was a perfect opportunity to go and buy presents for my family and friends. There was also a Christmas market, where I bought a sparkly decoration for the tree.語(yǔ)篇解讀本文為一篇記敘文。作者講述了自己游玩意大利首都羅馬的經(jīng)歷和感受。4The underlined word “gladiators” in the 2nd paragraph probably means “ ”Aathletes BbutchersCinvadersDfighters解析：詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)畫(huà)線詞后的“used to fight each other until death and hunt animals coming from another country”可知該詞的意思為“斗士”，故答案為D項(xiàng)。答案：D5The author found the ruins of buildings and temples fascinating because .Athey represent Rome's religionBthey are relics from Rome's distant pastCyou can't help wondering how old they areDthey include the Roman Forum and the vast Coliseum解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“full of wonderful relics from its distant past”和“The ruins of buildings and temples are fascinating.”可知答案為B項(xiàng)。答案：B6What is mainly discussed in the 3rd paragraph?AThe great museums of Italy.BThe sculptures in Rome.CArt­related activities during the visit.DThe achievements of the Renaissance period in Italy.解析：段落大意題。本段主要介紹的是作者此次游玩羅馬的過(guò)程中的有關(guān)藝術(shù)的活動(dòng)，故答案為C項(xiàng)。答案：C7When visiting Rome, you should be careful in choosing .Athe attractionsBthe foodCthe hotelsDthe luxury boutiques解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段前兩句中的“In Rome，there is a lot of food on offer for tourists but some of it isn't of very good quality.I made an effort to find reliable restaurants to taste the popular meals of the region.”可知作者暗示選擇食物時(shí)要特別小心，故答案為B項(xiàng)。答案：B.閱讀七選五Which is much more significant to you when you are finding a job? Working experience or an advanced degree？Well, I believe diverse people have different answers.1 Here are some reasons：Above all, most of jobs don't require such a high degree，which means just some work, such as theoretical physics，archaeology, or literature, needs high academic qualification.2 For example, when you are offering a department manager post, and there is a man who has already been a manager for three years but only has a master's degree and an inexperienced person with a doctor's degree, which one would you choose? Definitely the first one for the manager who doesn't acquire a doctor's degree but has rich working experience.3 For instance, Bill Gates, who was the richest man in the world and one of the most successful merchants. What a wise choice when he decided to abandon studying so that he could gain more working experience instead of a doctor's degree！Or Steve Paul Jobs, who discontinued his study at the age of nineteen in order to become a member of a computer company just like Bill Gates.45 Maybe you shouldn't have to gain an advanced or high degree, but that doesn't mean nothing. Probably a bachelor's degree is still necessary in this fiercely competitive society.All in all, I think rich working experience is much more important than an advanced degree.AHowever, a degree is still required for most people.BMeanwhile，rich working experience will draw more attention.CSecondly，plenty of experience will bring you success much earlier.DIn my view, either working experience or an advanced degree counts.EAs for me, I will say working experience without hesitation.FAs a matter of fact, more people with rich working experience become successful.GFrom all of these, we can see that an advanced degree isn't so necessary as working experience.語(yǔ)篇解讀本文是一篇議論文，論述了工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)是工作成功的最重要的因素這一論點(diǎn)。1解析：根據(jù)空處位置可知，空處承上啟下，根據(jù)該段第二句“Working experience or an advanced degree”可知，空處提出自己的觀點(diǎn)并引出下文，故E項(xiàng)與此處匹配。答案：E2解析：根據(jù)本段最后一句“Definitely the first one for the manager who doesn't acquire a doctor's degree but has rich working experience.”并結(jié)合空后所列舉的例子可知，該例旨在證明豐富的工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)在應(yīng)聘時(shí)更受歡迎，故B項(xiàng)與此處匹配。答案：B3解析：根據(jù)空處所在的位置可知，空處為本段的主題句；根據(jù)本段列舉的比爾·蓋茨放棄學(xué)業(yè)創(chuàng)業(yè)成功和喬布斯在十九歲時(shí)輟學(xué)這兩個(gè)例子可以判斷，本段旨在說(shuō)明豐富的工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)?zāi)艽偈谷嗽缛粘晒?，故C項(xiàng)正確。答案：C4解析：根據(jù)該空所在的位置可知，該空總結(jié)本段大意；由空前列舉的比爾·蓋茨和喬布斯這兩個(gè)例子可以判斷，高學(xué)歷不如工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)重要，故G項(xiàng)正確。答案：G5解析：根據(jù)空處所在的位置可知，空處為本段的主題句；由本段最后一句“Probably a bachelor's degree is still necessary in this fiercely competitive society.”可知，在這個(gè)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)激烈的社會(huì)中，學(xué)歷仍然是有必要的。據(jù)此可以判斷，本段主要陳述學(xué)歷對(duì)于大部分人來(lái)說(shuō)還是需要的，故A項(xiàng)正確。答案：A.語(yǔ)法填空In 1.
