Four most beautiful villages in Italy
Albertbello
Set in the area of Puglia, close to the coastal town of Bari this village is famous for its beautiful trulli, which are conical(圆锥形的) roof structures made without any mortar(砂浆).The large amount of trulli makes Alberobello truly unique. You can even stay in one of these houses when visiting the village.
Menaggio
Set in the province of Como, right on the western shore of Lake Como, the area is frequently visited for its Menaggio and Cadenabbia Golf Club founded in 1907. This beautiful village still keeps its old attractiveness, with beautiful surroundings that could be enjoyed from one of the many water front balconies.
Matera
Matera is in the area of Basilicata. Known as the city of stones, Matera is one of the most ancient and unique towns in the world, having some of the earliest examples of houses carved in the rock. It’s more a village than a town though, and there are churches in the caves found here. In the surrounding Apulia area, you can also find other medieval(中世纪的) churches like the Matera Cathedral or the San Pietro Caveoso.
Portofino
The harbor village of Portofino, set in the province of Genoa, offers access to several cozy beaches nearby, which is why this medieval village has been transformed into a pretty vacation site. Having anything from old landmarks to designer stores, this village is the perfect place to enjoy the fines things in life. You could also visit an under water statue of Christ.

My interest in conquering the seven summits(顶峰)first began after I climbed Kilimanjaro in 1999. Back then at the age of 18, I never saw climbing all the seven summits as a realistic goal, but I certainly thought it would be fun to try to do some of the easier ones.
Four years later, I got a new job and I found myself considering Mt. Elbrus. What inspired me about this trip was not necessarily Mt. Elbrusitself, but that the Caucasus region had several tiny countries that I could easily backpack in a single trip. To me, Elbrus would simply bean added bonus. Since the climb would only take a week, it left me with plenty of exploring time for other countries. In the summer of 2006, I was able to get the time I needed off and had a successful climb of Mt. Elbrus.
A year later in 2007, I noticed that I began to think about Cero Aconcagua a lot, and even dream about it. My desire to try another one of the seven summits began to get so strong that I worried I might start losing sleep at night. Finally I talked to my boss Tom who was surprisingly supportive and helped give me the time off I would need for Aconcagua.
In February 2008, I had a successful experience and climbed the second highest of the seven summits. I somehow devoted myself to training several days a week, and took climbing courses. In June 2009, I climbed what I once thought was impossible, Denali, the second hardest of the seven summits. In 2011, I continued towards my dream by reaching the top of Oceania after conquering Carstensz Pyramid. At this point there is no doubt that I am able to climb Mt. Vinson Mas if so my only unknown is Mt. Everest. I’d like to try Vinson Massif next.
4. When did the author climb Kilimanjaro successfully
A. In 1999. B. In 2003. C. In 2006. D. In 2007.
5. Which mountain is the second highest of the seven summits

6. Which of the following can best describe the author
A. devoted and humorous. B. talented and clever.
C. stubborn and demanding. D. brave and successful.

C. Nothing is impossible to a determined heart.
D. Preparedness ensures success, unpreparedness spells failure.
C
“Hello!”You type into the chat box. There’s a slight feeling of excitement flowing through your fingers, and you can't wait for a reply. You think, “There’s probably nothing more exciting than this.”
With communication from all corners of the world possible at the ease of your fingers, we are now witness to an advanced form of the hand shake and physical conversations: online friendships.
Alarmingly, according to Internet Safety 101, almost half of young adult users have received upsetting messages, with 92 percent posting their own real names and identification online and 58 percent thinking it doesn’t cause concern. And though some parents may be biting their fingernails in fear right now, more than half of the youth have admitted to making their friends online and a good majority regularly text them.
Though the statistics are daunting, we hope, we haven’t scared you off! Researchers actually found that pursuing online friendships could be beneficial. Penn State University reported that this was especially the case for those with social anxiety, as they might form a stronger comfort bond with their peers(同龄人) through the screen rather than a face-to-face meeting.
Additionally, online interaction may increase yourself-confidence. In our current situation of isolation (隔离), perhaps that perfect connection from the safety of our homes is all it takes to make things just a little more bearable.
In the end, it all depends on you. Whether or not you research for a friend bears fruit lies in your approach, and though I’m not a great relationship master, I have some tips that will aid you in your exploration for the “BFF” of your dreams.
8. What can we infer from the third paragraph
A. The youth often meet online friends in reality.
B. Most Internet users like texting to their online friends.
C. Many parents like biting fingernails when worried.
D. Most young adults lack awareness of Internet safety.
9. Which can replace the underlined word“daunting”in Paragraph 4
A. disappointing. B. misleading. C. frightening. D. dissatisfying.
10. What’s the author’s attitude to making friends on the Internet
A. objective. B. supportive. C. negative. D. unclear.
11. What do you think the text will talk about next
A. How to get on well with online friends.
B. How to find online best friends.
C. How to keep in touch with online friends.
D. How to benefit from dream online friends.
D
An innovative agriculture startup plans to open an indoor vertical farm in Compton to help bring fresh produce to the California city.
Plenty, the company behind the project, said it will condense(压缩) 700 acres of farmland into a 95,000 square foot warehouse in Los Angeles County, where food-bearing plants will grow vertically and in abundance. The Compton site will be the company’s second and largest vertical farm. Plenty opened its first vertical farm in San Francisco in 2018, and keeps a research and development farming Laramie, Wyoming.
By building farms vertically, Plenty said it is able to grow healthy, quality produce without harming the environment. The unique layout will also make it possible to establish farms in urban areas, where land resources are limited and food insecurity is widespread.
Plenty uses a range of technologies to realize its goal of more productive and Earth-friendly farming— including vertical plant towers, LED lighting and robots to plant, feed and harvest crops. “The farms are able to grow plants faster, with greater nutritional density(密度) , and without the help of pesticides,” the company said. To create them, the company said it does not clear lands or pollute grounds, and only uses a small part of the water that traditional farming requires.
“It’s good for the environment,” said Shireen Santonsham, Plenty’s head of strategic initiatives. “Eighty to ninety percent of water used around the world is for agriculture. Because we grow our plants using precise nutrient recipes, we can use a very small amount of water.”
Traditional farms are usually only able to harvest crops a few times a year. But because Plenty’s farms are free of limitations like seasonal and weather changes, harmful pests and natural disasters, they can produce food all year long.
The company said it also prioritizes health and cleanliness. Its crops are grown in clean environments, where staff dress in full personal protective equipment and robots do much of the picking. The first time produce is touched by bare hands is when a consumer opens a food package at home. Plenty said it’s all part of its mission “to improve the lives of Plants, People and our Planet.”
12. Where did Plenty open its first vertical farm
A. In California. B. In Los Angeles. C. In Laramie. D. In San Francisco.
13. What can we know about the company Plenty
A. It is similar to traditional farms.
B. Its farms are influenced by weather.
C. It uses less water to grow crops year-round.
D. It kills harmful pests with the help of pesticides.
14. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Plenty’s produce are safe to eat.
B. Robots do all of the picking on the farm.
C. Plenty’s produce are popular with consumers.
D. The produce is delivered directly to consumers’ home.
15. What’s the best title for the text
A. The Necessity of Developing Vertical Agriculture
B. How to Grow Healthy and Fresh Produce in Urban Cities
C. A Vertical Farm Aims to Bring Fresh Produce to Compton
D. Plenty’s Task Is to Improve the Lives of Plants and People
