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 (遗迹) 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 cant 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 couldnt tear my eyes away from it.In Rome, there is a lot of food on offer for tourists but some of it isnt 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.19.The underlined word “gladiators” in the 2nd paragraph probably means “ ”. A. athletes B. butchers C. invaders D. fighters20.The author found the ruins of buildings and temples fascinating because . A. they represent Romes religion B. they are relics from Romes distant pastC. you cant help wondering how old they areD. they include the Roman Forum and the vast Coliseum21.What is mainly discussed in the 3rd paragraph?A. The great museums of Italy. B. The sculptures in Rome.C. Art-related activities during the visit. D. The achievements of the Renaissance period in Italy.CSomeday a stranger will read your email without your permission or scan the website you have visited. Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.In fact, it is likely that some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without permission? It might be a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen-the 21st century is the equal of being caught naked.Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy and that it is important to reveal yourself to friends, families and lovers at appropriate time and places. But now few boundaries remain. The information you leave everywhere makes it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. Believe it or not, we live in a world where you simply cant keep a secret. The key question is: does that matter? When you ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it.But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny part of Americans changes any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths(收费站) to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few refuses to offer personal information like Social Security numbers to get supermarket loyalty cards.But privacy (隐私) does matterat least sometimes. It is like health: when you have it, you dont notice it. Only when it is gone do you wish you had done more to protect it.22. What does the underlined sentence in Para 2 mean?A. Peoples personal information is easily accessed without their knowing it.B. In the 21st century people try every means to look into others secrets.C. People tend to be franker with each other in the information age.D. Criminals are easily caught on the spot with advanced technology.23. Which of the statements will the psychologists probably agree with?A. Friends should open their hearts to each other.B. Friends should always be faithful to each other.C. There should be a distance even between friends. D. The closer they are, the deeper their friendship is.24. In the last paragraph but one, the EZ-Pass system and Social Security numbers are used as evidence to show_.A. Americans talk a lot but do little about privacy protectionB. Americans use various loyalty cards for business.C. Americans rely more and more on electronic devices.D. Americans change behaviors that might disclose their identity.25. Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?A. Privacy and Health B. Privacy Is Getting Lost.C. Boundary and Friendship D. Cherish What You Have第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项，答案写在答题卡上。Most students develop a fear of tests. It is mainly because they lack self-confidence.

In the early twenty century, homeless people were often brought up in orphanages, in that they received little love. At one time, Dr. Skeels took twelve children from an orphanage or had a young girl look them each day. He also studied another twelve children who are left in the orphanage all day long. He followed these children not until they grew up, and the results were shocked. The children staying all day in the orphanage were either dead or suffering from serious illnesses.
