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 harbor (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 museums, 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.

From the deserts of Southern California to the forests of Alaska, the U. S. possesses a diversity (多样性) of nature. For most of her life, Joy Ryan never saw the scenery beyond her home state of Ohio. Then, when she was in her mid-eighties, her grandson Brad Ryan decided to take her on a journey to all of the U. S. National Parks, which took eight years to complete. At the age of 93, Grandma Joy has finally seen all 63 parks, ending her journey in the National Park of American Samoa.
“When I learned she had never seen the great wildernesses of America-deserts, mountains, oceans, I decided to intervene (干预) in some way,” Brad says. This idea inspired their first trip to the Great Smoky Mountains. However, once they were on the road, Brad realized that they could visit more parks that were nearby. Over the years, they managed to see all of the famous sights at Yosemite, the Grand Canyon, the Redwoods, and so on. But Brad values the time spent with his grandmother just as much as the amazing places they were able to visit.
Despite Grandma Joy’s older age, she was able to hike mountains. Brad regards her love for life as the key to her good health. She is grateful for each new day and is always excited for the next journey. Finally, their long journey across the U.S. came to an end with American Samoa.
“I am thankful every morning for giving me another day,” Grandma Joy shares. “And you’re your choice whether you’re going to have a rainy day or a sunny day. So, smile at everybody, and let everybody know you’re having a whale of a time.” While her tour of the U. S. has come to a close, she and her grandson are not done traveling. Next up, they have their sights set on Kenya.
24. Why did Brad decide to intervene in some way

It’s been nearly two decades since the traditional clothing style Hanfu first started to reappear in China. Since then it has gone from a small cultural movement celebrating an ancient fashion to a trend that is booming on social media, having been adopted by China’s Generation Z as a means of connecting with their past. Instead of following other cultures blindly, Generation Z now have different opinions about what trend is by promoting local culture while having an objective view of exotic cultural products.
The new tastes of Generation Z — young people born after 1995 — are well represented on Bilibili. In the recent New Year’s Eve gala presented by Bilibili, it attracted more than 100 million views within 48 hours with a colourful set of programmes ranging from Peking Opera to classical Chinese cartoons. The same is also true of movie industry. Last year, for the first time, the top 10 most viewed films in China were all domestic films, while the ticket sales for imported films have dropped to only 16.28 percent.
“Generation Z grew up with the rapid development of China and under good economic conditions. With the development of the Chinese Internet industry, they have more access to diverse international information and culture, which bring them a much broader vision and makes them more open and confident in analyzing foreign culture. Apart from taking pride in China’s rapid development, this generation also pursues individuality and values devotion to the country, ” Professor Zhang Yiwu said.
He also noted that the popular rock and punk culture pursued by the 70s and 80s generation is more of a challenge against real life and local culture. Some people who were born in the 1970s and 1980s did not grow up in the Internet age — they experienced the transformation of China going from poor to rich first-hand. This kind of longing and admiration of the West came from a lack of confidence.
However, Generation Z now have the confidence to look at Western culture with equal status. This kind of cultural confidence will result in China being more active and creative in its development on the international stage in the future.
28. What does the underlined word “exotic” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Classic. B. Foreign. C. Traditional. D. Fashionable.
29. Why is Bilibili mentioned in Paragraph 2
A To promote Chinese Internet industry. B. To highlight the popularity of national art.
C. To confirm the rise of new media. D. To show the popularity of New Year’s gala.
30. What do we know about Generation Z from the text
A. They have a stronger cultural identity. B. They are longing for cultural diversity.
C. They have made China develop rapidly. D. They are more fond of foreign culture.
31. What is the main idea of the text
A. A confident country leads to a better future.
B. Cultural confidence is of great significance.
C. China’s new generation redefine national culture as trendy.
D. Hanfu style connects ancient fashion and modern trends.
D
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has greatly sped up how long it takes to sort, label and analyze(分析) animal sounds—as well as to figure out which aspects of those sounds might carry meaning. One day we’ll be able to use AI to build a chat box that translates complex(复杂的) animal sounds into human language. Project CETI is just one organization working toward this goal.
“AI could eventually get us to the point where we understand animals, but that’s hard to deal with and long-term,” says Karen Bakker, a researcher at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. “Some species have been on the planet longer than humans. Some species could go extinct before we figure out their language,” Bakker adds. “Besides, the idea of walking around with an animal translator may seem cool, but many animals might not be interested in chatting.”
“Why would a bat want to speak to you ” she asks. What interests her is what we can learn from how bats and other creatures talk amongst each other.“We should listen to nature and ask the animals’ requirements in order to better protect them,” she argues. For example, a system set up to record whales or elephants can also track their locations. This can help our boats avoid whales or protect elephants from poachers (偷猎者).
Protection is one goal driving Project CETI. “If we understand sperm whales better, we will be better at understanding what’s troubling them,” says Ga per Begu , a linguist at the University of California, Berkeley. Learning that a species has something very similar to language or culture could also inspire people to work harder to protect it.
When we protect an animal that has some version of language or culture, we’re not simply protecting nature and we’re also saving a way of life. Marine biologist Denise Herzing says that animals are supposed to have a healthy environment so that their cultures can develop well.
32 What can we infer from Paragraph 1
A. We can tell the complex animal behavior.
B. We will find ways to talk with animals.
C. We can share our language with animals.
D. We need conduct more research on animals.
33. Bakker thinks that understanding animals’ language fully is ______.
A. difficult. B. costly. C. harmful. D. worthless.
34. How can we protect the animals effectively according to Paragraph 3
A. By learning about their needs. B. By setting up shelters for them.
C. By mapping out their locations. D. By living peacefully with them.
35. Which statement does Herzing probably agree with
A. Animals’ culture should be given up.
B. Saving nature means saving ourselves.
C. Short-term and long-term goals need to be set.
D Animals should be in a healthy natural world.

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.

From the deserts of Southern California to the forests of Alaska, the U. S. possesses a diversity (多样性) of nature. For most of her life, Joy Ryan never saw the scenery beyond her home state of Ohio. Then, when she was in her mid-eighties, her grandson Brad Ryan decided to take her on a journey to all of the U. S. National Parks, which took eight years to complete. At the age of 93, Grandma Joy has finally seen all 63 parks, ending her journey in the National Park of American Samoa.
“When I learned she had never seen the great wildernesses of America-deserts, mountains, oceans, I decided to intervene (干预) in some way,” Brad says. This idea inspired their first trip to the Great Smoky Mountains. However, once they were on the road, Brad realized that they could visit more parks that were nearby. Over the years, they managed to see all of the famous sights at Yosemite, the Grand Canyon, the Redwoods, and so on. But Brad values the time spent with his grandmother just as much as the amazing places they were able to visit.
Despite Grandma Joy’s older age, she was able to hike mountains. Brad regards her love for life as the key to her good health. She is grateful for each new day and is always excited for the next journey. Finally, their long journey across the U.S. came to an end with American Samoa.
“I am thankful every morning for giving me another day,” Grandma Joy shares. “And you’re your choice whether you’re going to have a rainy day or a sunny day. So, smile at everybody, and let everybody know you’re having a whale of a time.” While her tour of the U. S. has come to a close, she and her grandson are not done traveling.

It’s been nearly two decades since the traditional clothing style Hanfu first started to reappear in China. Since then it has gone from a small cultural movement celebrating an ancient fashion to a trend that is booming on social media, having been adopted by China’s Generation Z as a means of connecting with their past. Instead of following other cultures blindly, Generation Z now have different opinions about what trend is by promoting local culture while having an objective view of exotic cultural products.
The new tastes of Generation Z — young people born after 1995 — are well represented on Bilibili. In the recent New Year’s Eve gala presented by Bilibili, it attracted more than 100 million views within 48 hours with a colourful set of programmes ranging from Peking Opera to classical Chinese cartoons. The same is also true of movie industry. Last year, for the first time, the top 10 most viewed films in China were all domestic films, while the ticket sales for imported films have dropped to only 16.28 percent.
“Generation Z grew up with the rapid development of China and under good economic conditions. With the development of the Chinese Internet industry, they have more access to diverse international information and culture, which bring them a much broader vision and makes them more open and confident in analyzing foreign culture. Apart from taking pride in China’s rapid development, this generation also pursues individuality and values devotion to the country, ” Professor Zhang Yiwu said.
He also noted that the popular rock and punk culture pursued by the 70s and 80s generation is more of a challenge against real life and local culture. Some people who were born in the 1970s and 1980s did not grow up in the Internet age — they experienced the transformation of China going from poor to rich first-hand. This kind of longing and admiration of the West came from a lack of confidence.
However, Generation Z now have the confidence to look at Western culture with equal status. This kind of cultural confidence will result in China being more active and creative in its development on the international stage in the future.
28. What does the underlined word “exotic” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Classic. B. Foreign. C. Traditional. D. Fashionable.
29. Why is Bilibili mentioned in Paragraph 2
A. To promote Chinese Internet industry. B. To highlight the popularity of national art.
C. To confirm the rise of new media. D. To show the popularity of New Year’s gala.
30. What do we know about Generation Z from the text
A. They have a stronger cultural identity. B. They are longing for cultural diversity.
C. They have made China develop rapidly. D. They are more fond of foreign culture.
31. What is the main idea of the text
A. A confident country leads to a better future.
B. Cultural confidence is of great significance.
C. China’s new generation redefine national culture as trendy.
D. Hanfu style connects ancient fashion and modern trends.
【答案】28. B 29. B 30. A 31. C

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has greatly sped up how long it takes to sort, label and analyze(分析) animal sounds—as well as to figure out which aspects of those sounds might carry meaning. One day we’ll be able to use AI to build a chat box that translates complex(复杂的) animal sounds into human language. Project CETI is just one organization working toward this goal.
“AI could eventually get us to the point where we understand animals, but that’s hard to deal with and long-term,” says Karen Bakker, a researcher at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. “Some species have been on the planet longer than humans. Some species could go extinct before we figure out their language,” Bakker adds. “Besides, the idea of walking around with an animal translator may seem cool, but many animals might not be interested in chatting.”
“Why would a bat want to speak to you ” she asks. What interests her is what we can learn from how bats and other creatures talk amongst each other.“We should listen to nature and ask the animals’ requirements in order to better protect them,” she argues. For example, a system set up to record whales or elephants can also track their locations. This can help our boats avoid whales or protect elephants from poachers (偷猎者).
Protection is one goal driving Project CETI. “If we understand sperm whales better, we will be better at understanding what’s troubling them,” says Ga per Begu , a linguist at the University of California, Berkeley. Learning that a species has something very similar to language or culture could also inspire people to work harder to protect it.
When we protect an animal that has some version of language or culture, we’re not simply protecting nature and we’re also saving a way of life. Marine biologist Denise Herzing says that animals are supposed to have a healthy environment so that their cultures can develop well.
32. What can we infer from Paragraph 1
A. We can tell the complex animal behavior.
B. We will find ways to talk with animals.
C. We can share our language with animals.
D. We need conduct more research on animals.
33 Bakker thinks that understanding animals’ language fully is ______.
A. difficult. B. costly. C. harmful. D. worthless.
34. How can we protect the animals effectively according to Paragraph 3
A. By learning about their needs. B. By setting up shelters for them.
C. By mapping out their locations. D. By living peacefully with them.
35. Which statement does Herzing probably agree with
A. Animals’ culture should be given up.
B. Saving nature means saving ourselves.
C. Short-term and long-term goals need to be set.
D. Animals should be in a healthy natural world.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人工智能可能会找到人类与动物交谈的方法。但是专家表示我们应该了解动物的需求来有效地保护动物。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。文章第一段讲到“One day we’ll be able to use AI to build a chat box that translates complex(复杂的) animal sounds into human language. (有一天我们将能够使用AI构建一个聊天框，将复杂的动物声音翻译成人类语言。)”可知，从第一段我们可以推断出我们将找到与动物交谈的方法。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。文章第二段讲到“I could eventually get us to the point where we understand animals, but that’s hard to deal with and long-term (人工智能最终可能会让我们了解动物，但这是很难处理和长期的)”可知，Bakke认为完全理解动物的语言是很难的。故选A。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。文章第三段讲到“We should listen to nature and ask the animals’ requirements in order to better protect them (我们应该倾听大自然的声音，询问动物的需求，以便更好地保护它们)”可知，我们通过了解他们的需求来有效地保护动物。故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。文章最后一段讲到“Marine biologist Denise Herzing says that animals are supposed to have a healthy environment so that their cultures can develop well (海洋生物学家Denise Herzing表示，动物应该有一个健康的环境，这样它们的文化才能健康发展)”可知，Herzing认为动物应该生活在健康的自然世界里。故选D。
