Beyond the famous historic cities and world-famous sights, you’ll find the real Italy tucked away. Meet some of Italy's lesser-known regions and get to know the real Italy.

Cilento

Located just south of Naples, the walking paths and coastal roads of Cilento will reward you with inspiring sea views， highland backdrops and beautiful harbour（港口）towns. The waterside restaurants offer the best buffalo mozzarella, a type of cheese, in Italy! You'll find many hundred-year-old people living here thanks to their healthy diet.

Umbria

Landlocked Umbria is a truly corner of Italy and is a feast for the senses with its muse-ums,galleries, Romanesque churches and cathedrals. Wander through the narrow streets of historic Perugia,take a guided tour of the impressive Etruscan caves at Orvieto, or admire the frescoes（湿壁画） of the Basilica di San Francesco and the tomb of St. Francis of Assisi.

Piedmont

While the region is full of green-gold vineyard （葡萄园），Piedmont is also a hotbed of culinary  excellence, with its focus on local production and food origin. The small town of Bra and its parish, Pollenzo, is the birthplace of the international Slow Food movement, and home to the University of Gastronomic Sciences.

Basilicata

Basilicata is filled with historic hilltop towns that look out across the mountainous landscapes of the Lucanian Dolomites. As a region that remains relatively unexplored, it is a fascinating corner off the beaten path that is attractive for its historical presence. It's home to neighbourhoods of prehistoric houses believed by many to be the place where Italy's first settlers  arrived over 9,000 years ago.

A mother and daughter in England have been putting smiles on strangers' faces with random （随机的）acts of kindness． Every week，Sophie-Louise Corrigan allows her 5-year-old daughter Amina to choose random strangers to put a smile on their faces.

When Corrigan is with her daughter Amina, Corrigan will let the little girl go to whoever she is drawn. Later, Corrigan will ask why Amina opts for them. Her answer is always because she likes something about them, either their tops or their hair. Amina always takes her pick.

It's a tradition that started with Corrigan's own mother. “Mum and I used to do it. Whenever we had some money left from the weekly shop or if we really wanted to do it that week, we took out something from the shop to make sure we had the money. We would always do it," said Corrigan.

“Now,we do it everywhere, even when we went on holiday to another city, we did a random  act of kindness there. We find flowers and chocolates whether it be in Ormskirk,Liver-pool or Wirral. Wherever we go, we do it,” said Corrigan.

“The reaction is amazing and is one of the reasons why we carry on. A number of people who spoke to us didn't even know what to say. They were speechless. There were a lot of people who gave Amina a hug after it. She loves such a hug. There were others who had tears welling up. They said that they had such a terrible week either with bills or a family death. Amina will always say to me that although the person was crying, it was happy tears. She is in the process of understanding how acts of kindness work and how feelings work.”

24.What does Corrigan ask Amina to do every week?

A.Stay with her mother.

C.Make friends with others.

B.Be kind to strangers.

D.Buy something from shops.

25.What does the underlined phrase “opts for” in paragraph 2 mean?

A.Respects.

B.Enables.

C.Chooses.

D.Avoids.

26.What does Corrigan mean in the last paragraph?

A.People need happiness.

B.Few people live a hard life.

C. Some people like being silent.

D.Most people are friendly to others.

27.What can we conclude from the text?

A.Only good people have friends.

B.Where there is life, there is hope.

C.Kindness is like a ray of sunshine.

D. A kind man can gain more from others.

C

In the past 30 years, the non-profit organization Friends of Trees planted trees along the streets of Portland, Oregon. Now, a new study shows that each tree planted was connected with significant reductions in non-accidental and cardiovascular（心血管的）mortality（死亡率）.

Evidence pointing to a connection between exposure to nature and lower mortality is obvious.  Between 1990 and 2019, Friends of Trees planted 49,246 street trees. The research team looked at the number of trees planted in a given area in the past 5, 10 or 15 years. They connected this information with mortality due to cardiovascular，respiratory（呼吸的）or non-accidental causes in that same area, using data from the Oregon Health Authority. The results showed that in neighborhoods in which more trees had been planted, mortality rates were lower. This connection was significant for cardiovascular and non-accidental mortality, particularly for males and people over the age of 65.

Furthermore, the connection got stronger as trees aged and grew: The reduction in mortality rate connected with trees planted 11 to 15 years before was double that observed with trees planted in the past 1 to 5 years. This means that older trees are connected with larger decreases in mortality, and that protecting existing grown trees may be particularly important  for public health. This study doesn't provide a direct opinion into how trees improve health. However, the result that larger trees have a greater health effect than smaller ones is telling, because larger trees are better at absorbing air pollution, moderating temperatures, and reducing noise.

“We observed the effect both in green and less green neighborhoods, which suggests that street tree planting benefits both,” said Geoffrey H. Donovan, first author of the study. “Be-sides，the benefits of tree planting greatly outweigh（大于）the cost. Our results provide an important evidence-base for clear measures (e.g. planting trees) to increase the lifetime of urban people.”

28.How long did it take Friends of Trees to plant 49,246 street trees?

A.5 years.

B.10 years.

C.15 years.

D.30 years.

29.What do we know about the study from paragraph 3?

A.Women gain no benefit from trees.

B. Tree planting can cure respiratory diseases.

C.Older trees contribute more to public health.

D.Newly planted trees can better improve public health.

30.What does Donovan suggest doing?

A.Protecting trees in forests.

B.Planting more street trees.

C.Joining Friends of Trees.

D.Getting more benefits from nature.

31.How does the author mainly develop the topic of the text?

A.By listing numbers.

C.By describing processes.

B.By stating results.

D.By raising questions.

D

An optical（光存储的）chip has been developed by a multi-institution research，group that has the potential to train machine learning hardware.

Training of modern-day artificial intelligence (AI) systems costs several million dollars in electric power and requires supercomputer-like equipment. This increasing AI desire leaves an ever-widening difference between computer hardware and demand for AI. Simply, photonic chips（光子芯片）have become a possible solution to deliver higher computing performance. However, though they've shown improved heart operations in machine intelligence used for data sort, photonic chips have yet to improve the actual front-end learning and machine training  process.

Machine learning is a two-step procedure. First, data is used to train the system and then other data is used to test the performance of the AI system. A team of researchers from sever-al universities set out to do just that. After one training step, the team observed a mistake and reset the hardware for a second training cycle followed by additional training cycles until an enough AI performance was reached. Thus far, photonic chips have only shown an ability to sort and conclude information from data. Now, researchers have made it possible to speed up the training step itself.

This added AI ability is part of a larger effort around photonic tensor cores（张量核心） and other electronic-photonic application-specific combined circuits that use photonic chip producing  for machine learning and AI applications.

“This novel hardware will speed up the training of machine learning systems and make the best of what both photonics and electronic chips have to offer. It is a major jump forward for AI hardware speeding-up,” said Volker J. Sorger, founder of a company.

“The training of AI systems costs a great deal of energy and carbon footprint. For example,  a single AI transformer takes about five times as much CO2 in electricity as a gasoline car spends in its lifetime. Our training on photonic chips will help to reduce this spending.”

32.What can we infer about photonic chips from paragraph 2?

A.They still have failings.

B. They can soon be widely used.

C.They are beyond spending on AI.

D. They can provide more electric power.

33. What do the researchers from several universities suggest?

A.Machine learning has two steps.

B.Mistakes are unavoidable in research.

C.Speeding up the training step is possible.

D.Photonic chips cannot sort information.

34. What is Volker's attitude to photonic chips?

A.Favourable.

B.Careless.

C.Doubtful.

D.Negative.

35.What is the best title for the text?

A.Slowing Up AI's Training

B.Reducing Machine Learning Spending

C.Photonic Chips to Reduce the Cost of Computers

D.Photonic Chips to Train Machine Learning Hardware

How to Really, Truly Appreciate a Work of Art

Some people might tell you that taking in a work of art is no different from gazing upon a beautiful flower, or a spectacular sunset. 36 Art is no different-there are places to inspect, aspects to weigh and artistic skills to figure out. Here are a few things to look for. They will help you really and truly appreciate a work of art.

37

When you look at it， most artworks just sit there，static（静止的），a picture or an object on display. But the sensitive eye can rewind the video tape, so to speak, and read the way the artwork was made. Were the brushes laid down fast? Where was the camera placed? Take the time to explain the way of creating the artwork in front of you as a record of a performance. What is art made out of?

Artists love to transform. A nail poking from a stick of wood in the hands of Susan Collis can be pure platinum（铂）．38 As for paintings， marvel in the fact that each stroke of paint consists of pigment.

Does art set you free?

Artists often operate from a step off the mainstream, using an outsider's position to offer new perspectives on things we often take for granted and suggest possible alternatives. These can relate to anything from the way Picasso saw a bull's head in a bicycle seat to Robert Mapplethorpe's photographic revelation.              39

How does art connect to society?

Art doesn't have to be about anything, but sometimes it's about you, your friends or your political order. 40 Artists frequently use their position to put their own particular lens on society, offering potential futures, or delving into resonant traumas of the past.

A.How was art made?

B.How does it connect to old art?

C.Take the time to absorb the artist's message.

D.Allow these works to inspire your imagination.

E.It is also about the fate of people half a world away.

F.A sculpture by Al Farrow may be made from bullets.

G.But ask yourself if you really know how to enjoy a flower.

A Planting Activity

第二节（满分25分）

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Today I was walking along the street when a homeless woman asked me for some change. I gave her some money and stopped to talk to her for a while.

I asked her about how she ended up on the street and if there was a shelter she could go to. She told me about some of her struggles. She told me that she left home at seventeen and had been homeless since then. She said that her bag with all her clothes and possessions was stolen the night before, while she was sleeping outside a church. Shesaid that she went to the day centre every day and they made calls to try to find her a shelter but nothing was available, as all shelters for women were full up. It had been like this for months. I listened to her and said a few kind words to her. After we spoke, I told her that it was really nice to meet her and wished her all the best.

I left feeling really sad and frustrated that there was nothing I could do to ease her situation. I have spoken to a few other homeless people and I have heard about how difficult it is to get a place in a shelter, or sometimes some shelters can be so unsafe that it is better for them to sleep on the streets.

I was on my way to my flower store. While trimming（修剪）these kinds of beautiful flowers, I thought about the lady I had just met and other homeless people I had spoken to. I thought it must be frustrating not to be able to experience so many of the day-to-day things that I and many others take for granted such as a roof over our heads, a bed to sleep in, money to buy food and even money to buy presents for a dear one.
