Rome can be pricey for travelers, which is why many choose to stay in a hostel (旅社). The hostels in Rome offer a bed in a dorm room for around $25 anight, and for that, you’ll often get to stay in a central location (位置) with security and comfort. Yellow Hostel
If I had to make just one recommendation for where to stay in Rome, it would be Yellow Hostel. It’s one of the best-rated hostels in the city, and for good reason. It’s affordable, and it’s got a fun atmosphere without being too noisy. As an added bonus, it’s close to the main train station. Hostel Alessandro Palace
If you love social hostels, this is the best hostel for you in Rome. Hostel Alessandro Palace is fun. Staff members hold plenty of bar events for guests like free shots, bar crawls and karaoke. There’s also an area on the rooftop for hanging out with other travelers during the summer. Youth Station Hostel
If you’re looking for cleanliness and a modern hostel, look no further than Youth Station. It offers beautiful furnishings and beds. There are plenty of other benefits, too; it doesn’t charge city tax; it has both air conditioning and a heater for the rooms; it also has free Wi-Fi in every room. Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes is located just a 10-minute walk from the central city station and it’s close to all of the city’s main attractions.

In a study published in Nature Machine Intelligence, researchers at Ohio State University show how artificial intelligence（AI）can follow clinical trials to identify drugs for repurposing, a solution that can help advance innovative treatments.
Repurposing drugs is legal and not unusual. When doctors prescribe(开处方)drugs that have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration(FDA)for purposes different from what is printed on the labels, the drugs are being used “off-label” Just because a drug is FDA-approved for a specific type of disease does not prevent it from having possible benefits for other purposes.
For example, Metformin, a drug that is FDA-approved for treating type 2 diabetes, is also used to treat PCOS(a disease of women), and other diseases. Trazodone, an anti-depressant with FDA-approval to treat depression, is also prescribed by doctors to help treat patients with sleep issues.
The Ohio State University research team created an AI deep learning model for predicting treatment probability with patient data including the treatment, outcomes, and potential confounders(干扰因素).
Confounders are related to the exposure and outcome. For example, a connection is identified between music festivals and increases in skin rashes(红疹). Music festivals do not directly cause skin rashes. In this case, one possible confounding factor between the two may be outdoor heat, as music festivals tend to run outdoors when the temperature is high, and heat is a known cause for rashes. When working with real-world data, confounders could number in the thousands. AI deep learning is well-suited to find patterns in the complexity of potentially thousands of confounders.
The researcher team used confounders including population data and co-prescribed drugs. With this proof-of-concept, now clinicians have a powerful AI tool to rapidly discover new treatments by repurposing existing medications.
4. What do we know about a drug used off-label? A. It is sold without a label. B. It is available at a low price.
C. Its uses extend beyond the original ones.
D. Its clinical trials are rejected by doctors.
5. Metformin and Trazodone are similar as both of them________. A. are used off-label B. treat rare diseases C. result in sleep issues D. are medical breakthroughs
6. What can be inferred about “confounders”? A. They are possible treatments. B. They are environmental factors.
C. They can be easily recognized in real-world data. D. They should be taken into serious consideration. 7. What is the main idea of the text? A. AI examines benefits of existing drugs. B. AI identifies off-label uses for drugs. C. AI finds new drugs for common diseases. D. AI proves the power of drug research.

My school appeared on the news last week because we had made an important change in our local area. Our class had planted a large garden in what was once only a vacant lot. It was a lot of work but it was all worth it. I got blisters(水泡) from digging, and we all got insect bites, too.
I learned a lot about gardening and collaboration(合作), and then I learned about the media. Our teacher telephoned the TV station and informed them of what we had accomplished. She spoke with the producer. The producer checked with the directors, but they said there were plenty of stories similar to ours. They wanted to know what was special about our particular garden, since many schools plant them.
The teacher explained that, after going on the Internet to learn about the prairie(大草原), we had made a prairie garden. We had gone to a prairie and gotten seeds from the plants, and then we planted them. We did not water the garden, but we did weed it. We decided to let nature water it with rain, since that was how prairies grew in the past. We sent a picture of the garden to the news station. In the picture, the grass was so high that it stood taller than the fourth grade students.
As a result, the producer sent a reporter to our school. He interviewed the headmaster and asked him many
questions about the garden. After that, they interviewed us, and we explained to them what we had learned through this project.
That night, we watched the news, and there we were. The news reporter told our story. It was only two minutes long, but it was us. We were famous. All that work, all those blisters, it was worth it. We knewthatwhen we saw the garden every day, but now we knew that the whole city thought so, too. 8. What seemed to be the TV directors’ initial reaction to the garden? A. They were excited. B. They were surprised. C. They were worried. D. They were uninterested. 9. What is special about the garden? A. Weeds were allowed to spread naturally. B. The grass grew faster than common grass. C. The seeds came from the plants of a prairie. D. Underground water was used for the plants.
10. What does the underlined word “that” refer to in the last paragraph? A. We got blisters on our hands. B. Our hard work was worthwhile. C. The garden would be famous. D. The project would be finished. 11. How did the author feel about the project? A. Annoyed. B. Curious. C. Proud. D. Regretful.

When I was trying to find a place where to spend my December holidays, I met by chance some cheap flights to Iceland. After checking just a few winter pictures of Iceland, I realized that the country, known as the land of fire and ice, during the cold months of the year could offer me experiences I had never had before.
For sure you can’t miss the chance to go to Iceland in winter if your traveling wish list includes at least one of the crazy experiences Iceland can offer. Iceland in the North Atlantic Ocean is a paradise (乐园) for all those who want to see the northern lights, experience cold weather conditions and put themselves in geothermal (地热的) baths while the snow is falling on their head.
The best way to move around Iceland is with a rental car. Distances are huge and public transport in winter is not really common out of the major towns. As we wanted to be even more convenient we decided to rent a small camper (野营车). Sleeping and cooking in a camper saved us a lot of driving, money and gave us the chance tobe
always in the right place at the right time.
There were also no locals and in many cases no tourist facilities (设备). For us, as we slept in a camper, it was easier. But for tourists traveling by normal cars it is necessary to check the opening times ofhotels and restaurants as many of them run just from June to September.
It is amazing to experience how the weather is changing in Iceland. However, Icelanders prefer to stay inside their houses. They have even no time to complain about the weather in December. All they care about is Christmas. They love to decorate their houses, sing Christmas songs and eat typical Christmas food. 12. Why is Iceland famous as the land of fire and ice? A. Because tourists would like to play with fire on the ice. B. Because it is too dry to easily cause fire to happen. C. Because it is hot inside a house and cold outside. D. Because there exist hot springs and freezing ice. 13. What did the author think of the rented camper? A. It was not only practical but also economical. B. It was convenient but cost them more money. C. It provided the best chance to see the new country. D. It was much faster than other public transport. 14. What does the last paragraph imply? A. The Icelanders prefer to live with their family. B. The joy of Christmas drives the freezing weather away. C. December is the coldest month of the year. D. The Icelanders are always positive and stay outside. 15. What does this passage most probably come from? A. A textbook B. A scientific report C. A travel magazine D. A news report 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

Last Saturday, I participated the English Speech Contest holding in our school. However, I didn’t get a satisfactory result as he expected. When I stand on the stage, I felt my legs shaking. I was such nervous that I forgot everything prepared in advance! I couldn’t even remember how I walked off the stage when I finished.
Now, looking back to this experience, I have learned something from this failure. First of all, I didn’t make full preparations for the contest. Beside, I didn’t take practice serious. Although it is a failure in my life, but I still think it is a unforgettable experience. 第二节书面表达（满分25分）

Over the years, I've been guilty of hurriedly shutting the front door to many strangers when they came to my home knocking with the intention of selling things. I hated it when they tried their best to persuade me to buy the things they promoted. But earlier this year, around Easter time, a dear friend of mine, Linda, had an experience
that changed my mind and attitude towards these \"intruders\".
Last winter, Linda went through a very messy divorce and was very depressed. So she quit her job and leftLos Angeles, where she encountered her ex-husband in college. She flew toBostonon the east coast of theUS. Later, she settled in a new neighborhood inEast Boston. However, shortly afterwards, the company where she worked went bankrupt（破产）. Suffering a series of bitter blows. she fell ill, a severe case of flu. She had to stay at home for the whole week, feeling extremely bad and hopeless.
Early one morning, Linda lay in bed, feeling painful all over. Then all of a sudden, there was an upsetting knock on her front door. Struggling out of the bed, she dragged herself to the window. There, outside, she saw a young lady carefully holding some leaflets（传单）and a TV set model. She knew of a large TV set establishment nearby and assumed a message was about to be gently delivered. \"This is the last thing I need today.\" She muttered to herself and hesitantly opened the door.
Coughing bitterly, Linda stuck her head out. \"Excuse me, madam…\" the young lady said with a smile. \"I'm sorry but I am not the slightest bit interested in any TV whatever.\" Linda interrupted her impatiently. \"As a matter of fact, I am feeling terribly awful.\" \"Is there anything I can do for you, madam?\" the young lady asked with concern. \"No thanks, just leave me alone.\" Linda then shut the door in her face. The young lady politely turned and left in silence.
