Picking the right hotel for your trip is very important for tourists in Athens as it’s a fairly sprawling city with a lot of different neighborhoods to choose from. To help you choose, here’s my list of the best hotels in Athens:
A．Athens Center Square Hotel
In Plaka, this hotel has a minimalist design with welcoming pastel colors throughout, and most rooms have a view of the Acropolis (雅典卫城). Rooms are simple but decently sized, with flat-screen TVs, desks, mini fridges, air conditioning. The delicious buffet breakfast is complimentary and quite expansive, featuring Greek and American cuisine. There’s also free coffee and tea in the lobby all day long.
B．Athensdot
This newer property is in Psyrri, has a cool, pop-art design throughout, with large scale drawings on the walls and bright bursts of red everywhere. Rooms vary from internal rooms with no window to rooms with a balcony and views of the Acropolis. While there’s no breakfast served at the property, there’s a cute 24-hour café just a few doors down that serves food at all hours.
C． Coco-Mat Hotel
This design-forward 4-star hotel, run by the mattress company Coco-Mat, is in the heart of Kolonaki, a quiet neighborhood renowned for its upscale boutiques and art galleries. All rooms are equipped with high-quality mattresses, and you can even choose your pillow from a menu with 12 different pillow types. There’s a fantastic Greek breakfast buffet in the mornings.

Comfortable and friendly, Plaka Hotel is (you guessed it) in the heart of Plaka. You’ll find the majority of ruins and tourist attractions here.

Jack was born without eyes. He was very lucky as he grew up having other kittens(young cats) to socialize with, and was used to people from the moment he was born. However, when it came time to find the kittens homes, no one knew where Jack would end up.
That's when I got an email from my friend. All she asked was “Do you still want one of the kittens There's one here with no eyes and no one would like to take him.” Without thinking, I told her that I did want the kitten.
When we first brought him home, Jack stayed mostly in my room. After about a day he had no issues running around and climbing on everything. At times he gets lost in the house, he'll stop. But we just call him and talk to him and it isn't long before he finds his way back to us.
A few weeks after getting Jack, we got a new farm cat named Bear. Jack and Bear have become best friends. It doesn't matter that he can't see. He always knows when Bear is around. He'll run across the yard straight to Bear and wrap his front legs around his neck in a big hug. They run after each other around and wrestle. They'll lie down in the grass together when tired.
Jack is truly an inspiration. I've owned lots of kittens in my life, but Jack is the happiest and most playful. He doesn't feel sorry for himself. He doesn't need pity. I think Jean, owner of Gumbo, another eyeless cat, said it best when she told me that cats don't have disabilities, they have adaptability.
24．Why did Jack come to our home
A．I liked an eyeless cat. B．I didn't mind whether he was blind.
C．No other young cats kept him company. D．My friend ordered me to take him home.
25．What does the underlined word “issues” in the 3rd paragraph mean
A．Difficulty. B．Fun. C．Luck. D．Business.
26．Which of the following statements is TRUE
A．Jack likes to play with a new eyeless cat.
B．Jack is good at talking and playing with people.
C．Jack quickly adapts to the new environment.
D．Jack and Bear lie down on the sofa together when tired.
27．What can we learn from the passage
A．A cat has nine lives. B．All is well that ends well.
C．God helps those who help themselves. D．A good beginning makes a good ending.
C
Despite the fact that parrots are well known for their long lives and complex cognition (认知), it remains unknown whether the two traits (特征) have influenced each other.
“The problem has been sourcing good quality data,” said Simeon Smeele, a doctoral student at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior (MPI-AB) and lead author of a study published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B that tried to solve this question.
Scientists from the MPI-AB and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology (MPI-EvA) teamed up with Species360 to compile data from over 130,000 individual parrots sourced from over 1,000 zoos to find the average life span of 217 parrot species.
The analysis revealed an astonishing diversity in life expectancy, ranging from an average of two years for the fig parrot up to an average of 30 years for the scarlet macaw.
Next, the team tried to determine whether or not parrots’ renowned cognitive abilities had any influence on their longevity. Their results support the theory that increased brain size has enabled longer lifespans. Because brain size relative to body size can be an indicator of intelligence, the findings suggested that the parrots with larger brains were able to survive for longer in the wild.
The scientists were surprised that factors such as diet, or the greater developmental time required to develop larger brains, did not lead to longer average lifespans. “We would have expected the developmental path to play a more important role because in primates it is this developmental cost that explains the link between brain size and longevity,” said Smeele.
In the future, the team plan to explore if sociality and cultural learning in parrots might have also contributed to long lifespans. Smeele said: “Large-brained birds might spend more time socially learning foraging (觅食) techniques that have been around for multiple generations. This increased learning period could potentially also explain the longer life spans, as it takes more time but also makes the foraging repertoire (全部技能) more adaptive.”
28．What did the study aim to find out about parrots
A．The diversity in their life expectancies.
B．The factors that influence their intelligence.
C．The traits that help them survive in the wild.
D．The link between their cognition and life spans.
29．How did the researchers carry out their study
A．By surveying over 1,000 zoos. B．By examining parrots’ brains.
C．By analyzing the collected data. D．By observing parrots’ behavior.
30．Which is a possible cause of parrots’ longevity
A．Their diet. B．Their body size.
C．Their larger brains. D．Their brains development time.
31．What is the last paragraph mainly about
A．Supporting evidence for the research results.
B．Potential applications of the research findings.
C．A further explanation of the research methods.
D．Further research based on current findings.
D
What are the limits of the human body Is there a point at which it is physically impossible to do something
“One thing we’ve all learned in the last 30 years or so is that just about anything is humanly possible,” says Dr. Jack Wilmore, author of Physiology of Sport and Exercise. “As time goes by, I think you’ll see more records continue to fall in every sport. The talent pool is better than ever. With more and better athletes joining in and competing, records will fall and new ones will be set.”
Many believed it was physically impossible for a human to run a mile in under four minutes, but Roger Bannister proved that was wrong, with a three-minute, 59-second mile in 1954. Today, sub-four-minute miles are considered ordinary even in high school. And Bob Beamon amazed the whole world in the 1968 Olympics with his historic long jump of 8. 90 metres. In an event where a record is usually broken by me re inches, he broke the previous jump record by more than 21 inches, but even his record was broken in 1991.
One factor is now becoming more understood and paid more attention to: sports psychology (心理学). Getting inside the athlete’s head can be as effective as training and long workouts. According to Wilmore, the psychological factor of sports has become more and more valued. He thinks highly of most teams’ hiring (雇佣) professional sports psychologists to work for their players.
What’s more, everything in the sports field — training, nutrition (营养), injury treatment — is far better than it’s ever been. “Besides, children today are more likely to focus on one or two sports instead of competing in several as was common twenty-five years ago,” Wilmore says. “That means they start concentrating on a sport much earlier and put more effort into it, and thus they become much better at it.”
“There’s a lot we don’t know yet about the human body,” he adds. “And one of those things is can do.” the full range of human potential. It would be foolish to try and put limits on what the human body can do.”
32．What can we learn from Dr. Jack Wilmore’s words
A．Athletes will become the most popular people.
B．It will be tougher for athletes to break former records.
C．It is necessary for athletes to learn the limits of the body.
D．Athletes will continue to surprise us with their achievements.
33．Why are Roger Bannister and Bob Beamon mentioned in Paragraph 3
A．To introduce two great athletes.
B．To show some of the latest world records.
C．To prove the limits of the body can be pushed.
D．To explain what athletes can achieve under stress.
34．What is Wilmore’s attitude towards the practice of hiring professional sports psychologists
A．Appreciative. B．Unconcerned. C．Doubtful. D．Objective.
35．How are today’s children different from those 25 years ago according to Wilmore
A．They take part in far more sports.
B．They are less likely to get injured in sports.
C．They begin playing sports at a much earlier age.
D．They become more skilful at one particular sport.

Thomas watched the irrigation canal (灌溉渠) for a sign of water. It looked as dry as he felt inside. Thomas's thoughts were interrupted as his younger sister, Maggie, came skipping across the field.
"What are you giving Mama for her birthday " she asked.
Thomas felt his stomach turn. He had forgotten that Mama's birthday, the first since they left their hometown, was tomorrow. "It's a surprise, Maggie," he answered. It was the truth.
Even he would be surprised.
Thomas would wish to be back in the mountains of their hometown. Surely Mama would want the same. At least it rained there. Each time it did, Mama, Thomas, and Maggie would sit on the front porch and watch for a rainbow. Then each of them picked out a favorite color in the rainbow. Mama always gave the same answer. "Turquoise (蓝绿色，绿松石)," she would finally say with a dreamy smile, pointing at the sky. "Squeezed in tight, between the blue and green. Close your eyes and you can see it. If you could touch it, it would feel cool, like a breeze blowing across the stream."
Thomas was discouraged. The sun would be setting soon, and he still had nothing to give his mother. What he saw around were rocks and sand. He picked up a large, flat rock, scooped up the dirt and watched it fall to the ground. Suddenly, something caught his eye. A speck of color peeked through the dirt.
"Hey, what's this " he asked.
"Let's find out," Maggie yelled. Thomas and Maggie dug with their fingers and uncovered a small, round stone. In the center, there was a tiny hole.
"That's just a turquoise bead (珠子)," Thomas exclaimed. "My friend Jack's sister has a jar full of them."
"Let's see if there are more," Maggie got excited.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右:
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
"I have an idea," Thomas said cheerfully. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Early the next morning, Thomas and Maggie set a small package on the table.

【原文】The National Park we will visit is located in the desert just north of our city. Like any hike of this nature, you should be prepared for the adventure in the desert: First, hike with a partner for safety. I enjoy hiking with family members and close friends. Second, carry a cell phone with you. However, keep in mind that you might not get any signal in some places, so don't depend on it. Third, be sure to have the right clothing and shoes or boots for the hike. Light, breathable clothing is the best during the summer, along with the hat and strong hiking shoes. Forth, carry plenty of water. Having a few snacks can give you energy, too. Fifth, take a small first-aid box with you, particularly on longer hikes, in case you get injured. Sixth, pack a detailed map of the area you’re hiking, along with a compass or a GPS to locate your position. And finally, take nothing home with you except pictures and memories. You can protect these areas by leaving all rocks, flowers, and other objects for future visitors.

【分析】这是一篇记叙文。主要记叙了作者收养了一只天生没有眼睛的小猫杰克，杰克适应新环境的能力很快，而且是作者养过最快乐、最爱玩的猫，他并没有因为自己没有眼睛而感到难过。
24．细节理解题。根据第二段中“All she asked was ‘Do you still want one of the kittens There's one here with no eyes and no one would like to take him.’ Without thinking, I told her that I did want the kitten.(她只是问了一句：“那些小猫里，你现在还想不想要一只？这里还有一只没有眼睛的猫，没有人愿意把他带走。我想都没想就告诉她我想要那只小猫)”可知，杰克来到作者家，是因为作者不介意他是否失明。故选B。
25．词义猜测题。根据划线词后文“running around and climbing on everything”可知没有眼睛的杰克来到作者家大约过了一天，他就可以跑来跑去，爬上所有的东西都没有困难了，故划线词意思为“困难”。A. Difficulty.困难；B. Fun.乐趣；C. Luck.运气；D. Business.生意。故选A。
26．细节理解题。根据第三段中“After about a day he had no issues running around and climbing on everything. At times he gets lost in the house, he'll stop. But we just call him and talk to him and it isn't long before he finds his way back to us.(大约过了一天，他可以到处跑，爬到各种东西上。有时他在房子里迷路了，他会停下来。但我们只要呼唤他，和他说话，不久他就能找到回到我们身边的路)”可知，杰克很快适应了新的环境。故选C。
27．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Jack is truly an inspiration. I've owned lots of kittens in my life, but Jack is the happiest and most playful. He doesn't feel sorry for himself. He doesn't need pity. I think Jean, owner of Gumbo, another eyeless cat, said it best when she told me that cats don't have disabilities, they have adaptability.(杰克真是个鼓舞人心的猫。我养过很多小猫，但杰克是最快乐、最爱玩的。他并不为自己感到难过。他不需要同情。另一只盲猫Gumbo的主人Jean告诉我，猫没有残疾，它们有适应能力，这是她说得最好的一句话)”结合文章主要记叙了作者收养了一只天生没有眼睛的小猫杰克，杰克适应新环境的能力很快，而且最快乐、最爱玩的，他并没有因为自己没有眼睛而感到难过。可知，从文章中我们能认识到“自助者天助”这个道理。故选C。
28．D 29．C 30．C 31．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了关于鹦鹉寿命和认知能力之间的关系。研究人员借助数据分析发现，鹦鹉的寿命存在着巨大的多样性，大脑大小与寿命之间存在着正相关关系。然而，饮食和大脑发育时间等因素并没有对鹦鹉的寿命产生显著影响。未来，研究人员计划探索社群性和文化学习对鹦鹉寿命的影响。
28．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Despite the fact that parrots are well known for their long lives and complex cognition (认知), it remains unknown whether the two traits (特征) have influenced each other. (尽管鹦鹉以长寿和复杂的认知能力而闻名，但这两种特征是否相互影响仍不清楚。)”和第二段““The problem has been sourcing good quality data,” said Simeon Smeele, a doctoral student at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior (MPI-AB) and lead author of a study published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B that tried to solve this question.(马克斯·普朗克动物行为研究所(MPI-AB)的博士生西蒙·斯梅尔(Simeon Smeele)说:“问题在于如何获取高质量的数据。”他在《英国皇家学会学报B》(Proceedings of The Royal Society B)上发表了一项研究，试图解决这个问题。)”可知，尽管鹦鹉以长寿和复杂的认知能力而闻名，但这两种特征是否相互影响仍不清楚，因此该研究的目的是弄清楚鹦鹉的认知和寿命之间的联系。故选D。
29．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Scientists from the MPI-AB and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology (MPI-EvA) teamed up with Species360 to compile data from over 130,000 individual parrots sourced from over 1,000 zoos to find the average life span of 217 parrot species. (MPI-AB和马克斯·普朗克进化人类学研究所的科学家与物种360合作，从1000多家动物园的130000多只鹦鹉个体中收集数据，以找出217种鹦鹉的平均寿命。)”可知，研究者们通过分析所收集的数据的方式来实施研究。故选C。
30．推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中“Because brain size relative to body size can be an indicator of intelligence, the findings suggested that the parrots with larger brains were able to survive for longer in the wild. (因为相对于身体大小的大脑大小可以作为智力的一个指标，研究结果表明，大脑较大的鹦鹉能够在野外生存更长时间。)”可知，大脑较大的鹦鹉能够在野外生存更长时间即更大的大脑可能是鹦鹉长寿的原因之一。故选C。
31．主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“In the future, the team plan to explore if sociality and cultural learning in parrots might have also contributed to long lifespans. (未来，研究小组计划探索鹦鹉的社会性和文化学习是否也可能有助于延长寿命。)”可知，未来研究小组将在现有研究的基础上，探索鹦鹉的社会性和文化学习是否也有助于延长寿命，即基于当前发现的进一步研究。故选D。
32．D 33．C 34．A 35．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讨论了人体的限制。根据作者提到的专家意见，人类体能的极限是没有明确界定的，随着时间的推移，运动记录将会不断被打破。心理因素也被认为在运动训练中起着重要作用。此外，现代运动领域中的训练、营养和伤病治疗等方面都比以往更加先进。总之，人体的潜力尚未完全被揭示，无法对其能力设限。
32．推理判断题。根据第二段““One thing we’ve all learned in the last 30 years or so is that just about anything is humanly possible,” says Dr. Jack Wilmore, author of Physiology of Sport and Exercise. “As time goes by, I think you’ll see more records continue to fall in every sport. The talent pool is better than ever. With more and better athletes joining in and competing, records will fall and new ones will be set.” (“在过去30年左右的时间里，我们都明白了一件事，那就是几乎任何事情都是人类可能做到的，”《运动与运动生理学》的作者杰克·威尔莫尔博士说。“随着时间的推移，我认为你会在每项运动中看到更多的记录继续被打破。人才储备比以往任何时候都好。随着更多、更好的运动员参与和竞争，记录将被打破，新的标准将被设定。”)”可知，随着时间的推移，每项运动中会看到更多的记录继续被打破，由此新的标准将被设定。由此推知，威尔莫尔可能会同意的观点是运动员将继续用他们的成就给我们带来惊喜。故选D项。
33．推理判断题。根据第三段“Many believed it was physically impossible for a human to run a mile in under four minutes, but Roger Bannister proved that was wrong, with a three-minute, 59-second mile in 1954. (许多人认为，从生理上讲，人类不可能在4分钟内跑完1英里，但罗杰·班尼斯特在1954年以3分59秒跑完1英里的成绩证明了这一理论是错误的)”可推知，第三段提到了Roger Bannister和Bob Beamon的例子是为了证明身体的极限是可以突破的。故选C项。
34．推理判断题。根据第四段中“He thinks highly of most teams’ hiring (雇佣) professional sports psychologists to work for their players. (他对大多数球队聘请专业运动心理学家为球员工作的做法给予了高度评价)”可推知，威尔莫尔对聘请专业运动心理学家的做法的态度是赞赏的。A选项“Appreciative.(赞赏的)”符合题意。故选A项。
35．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中““Besides, children today are more likely to focus on one or two sports instead of competing in several as was common twenty-five years ago,” Wilmore says. “That means they start concentrating on a sport much earlier and put more effort into it, and thus they become much better at it.”(“此外，如今的孩子更有可能专注于一到两项运动，而不是像25年前那样同时参加几项运动，”威尔默说。“这意味着他们开始更早地专注于一项运动，投入更多的努力，因此他们在这项运动上做得更好。”)”可知，今天的孩子和25年前的孩子的不同之处在于他们在一项特定的运动中变得更加熟练。故选D项。
