Four Remarkable Hotels in Rome

Maalot Roma

Maalot Roma is a new five-star hotel that draws a young， wealthy crowd looking for colorful， individually-designed rooms decorated with modern artworks and flea market finds. It is a refreshing change of pace from the faded hotels in Rome’s historical Trevi District. The area is a must-see， with its mix of monuments and amazing sights， including the Trevi Fountain， the Pantheon （a temple）， and Piazza Navona （a square）.

The St Regis Rome

First opened in 1894， the hotel offers accommodation with 161 rooms and is well-known for reliable service and professional staff members. Luxury suites （套房） feature a variety of original artworks from the private collections of important contemporary artists， including Luca Pignatelli， Ubaldo Bartolini and Paolo Fiorentino.

Rocco Forte House

Built on Rocco Forte’s rich Italian tradition， it’s well-known as the best hotel in Rome. Film stars and musicians tend to book here， drawn by its privacy， location and luxurious rooms. Rocco Forte House is your private hiding place in an 18th century palace overlooking Piazza di Spagna （a square）. There are just five apartments， with two bedrooms， a kitchen， a living room and a dining area—plus a shared rooftop area with the best views in the city.

Generator Rome

Only 10 minutes’ walk from Rome’s Termini Rail Station， Generator attracts a good mixture of those wanting to cut down expenses and those arriving at the city at unreasonable hours.

Born in France， but raised in Spain， linguistics and literature professor Juan José Ciruela Alferez from the University of Granada is passionate about Chinese literature and has been doing some research about it. With painstaking effort， his Spanish translation of a Chinese classic was published.

Ciruela said translating the novel was an interesting challenge. In recent years， many Chinese works have been introduced to Spain. However， as most of them had been translated first into English and then from that language into Spanish， much of the originality was lost. For this reason， when the Spanish publishing house Kailas contacted Ciruela to translate it directly from Chinese， he accepted the mission immediately， even if it presented difficulties like a heavy workload within a short time limit.

“I encountered various difficulties， especially at the beginning of the task，” said Ciruela in an interview. “This novel， in particular， needs a prior reading process in which the translator gets into the plot and the characters， since at first it is difficult to enter the world that the novel constantly raises. So I read the novel first in Chinese， paying attention to all those details and how all of that could be translated in a way that the Spanish readers would understand.

For Ciruela， the most important criterion when translating is fidelity （忠誠(chéng)） to the original text. While it is true that one cannot always be strictly faithful， he believes translators should not be too far from original text. For example， the translation of expressions of culture in language is quite complicated due to the cultural gap between Spanish and Chinese. Ciruela believes that these must always be appropriate to the specific function they perform within the text， in each specific case and moment.

24. What does the underlined part “that language” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to？

A. Spanish. B. English. C. Chinese. D. French.

25. What caused Ciruela to translate the Chinese classic？

A. His passion for Spanish literature. B. The loss of diversity in Spanish translation.

C. His determination to popularize it. D. The lack of its Spanish translation from the original.

26. What aspect of the translation task does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about？

A. Its barrier. B. Its theory. C. Its style. D. Its meaning.

27. What does Ciruela think is the most important in translation？

A. Meeting readers’ needs. B. Targeting cultural phenomena.

C. Bridging the cultural gap. D. Being loyal to the original text.

From self-driving cars to carebots （care + robots） for elderly people， rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people. But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence （AI） continues to change businesses.

“The next fifteen years will see a revolution （革命） in how we work， and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces，” said Peter Andrew， Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia-Pacific. A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence， social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence.

The report is based on interviews with 200 experts， business leaders and young people from Asia-Pacific， Europe and North America. It shows that in the US technology already destroys more jobs than it creates. But the report states， “Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs—just changing what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much， according to the research. “The growth of companies that have the speed and technological know-how will directly challenge big companies，” it states.

“Technology will continue to affect jobs， but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people， when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change，” Microsoft’s Jonathan Grudin told researchers.

28. What is the first paragraph mainly about？

A. The result of job reduction. B. The fast development of AI.

C. The future life of elderly people. D. The influence of technology on jobs.

29. What will people most probably do in the future？

A. Face the threat of AI. B. Do different jobs at the same time.

C. Take up jobs requiring creativity. D. Enjoy working at home.

30. What can we know from Jonathan Grudin’s words？

A. Job unemployment will stay high. B. There will always be jobs in the future.

C. Job competition is likely to grow fiercer. D. Technology will have less control over jobs.

31. What can be the best title for the text？

A. Are People Losing Their Jobs？ B. The Requirements for Future Jobs

C. The Challenging Life in the Future D. Does Technology Simplify Everything？

D

Cafeterias have been filled with challenges—right from planning， purchasing， and preparing， to reducing waste， staying on budget， managing goods， and training staff. Through the tedious process， restaurateurs lacked a unified platform for efficient （高效的） management. To bring consistency to the unorganized catering industry， childhood friends Arjun Subramanian and Raj Jain， who shared a passion for innovation， decided to partner in 2019 to explore opportunities in the cafeteria industry.

In May 2020， they co-founded Platos， a one-stop solution for restaurants with a custom technology kit to streamline all aspects of cafeteria management. The company offers end-to-end cafeteria management， staff selection and food trials to ensure smooth operations and consistent service. “We believe startups solve real problems and Platos is our shot at making daily workplace food enjoyable again. We aim to simplify the dining experience， providing a convenient and efficient solution that benefits both restaurateurs and customers and creating a connected ecosystem，” says Subramanian.

Platos guarantees that a technology-driven cafeteria allows customers to order， pay， pick up， and provide ratings and feedback. It also offers goods and menu management to effectively perform daily operations. Additionally， its applications connect all shareholders for a smart cafeteria experience. “We help businesses that are into catering on condition that they have access to an industrial kitchen setup where they’re making food according to certain standards，” Jain states.

Since the beginning， Platos claims to have transformed 45 cafeterias across eight cities in the country. Currently， it has over 45，000 monthly users placing more than 200，000 orders. Despite facing challenges in launching cafeterias across major cities in the initial stages， Platos has experienced a 15% increase in its month-over-month profits.

As for future plans， the startup is looking to raise $1 million from investors as strategic partners， bringing in capital， expertise， and networks. “Finding the right lead investor is the compass that points your startup toward success，” Subramanian says.

32. What does the underlined word “tedious” in Paragraph 1 probably mean？

A. Time-consuming. B. Breath-taking.

C. Heart-breaking. D. Energy-saving.

33. What is the purpose of founding Platos？

A. To connect customers with a greener ecosystem.

B. To ensure food security and variety in cafeterias.

C. To improve cafeteria management with technology.

D. To make staff selection more efficient and enjoyable.

34. What can we learn from the statistics in Paragraph 4？

A. Platos has achieved its financial goal.

B. Challenges in food industry can be overcome.

C. Platos has gained impressive marketing progress.

D. Tech-driven cafeterias have covered most urban areas.

35. What is Subramanian’s future plan for Platos？

A. To reduce costs. B. To seek investment.

C. To increase earnings. D. To innovate technology.

The first folding fans were made around 1000 AD in China， and 56 （bring） to Europe by Portuguese traders in the early 1500s.

One type of folding fans is composed of sticks of identical 57 （long） held together at the bottom with a curved （弧形的） leaf of paper， silk， lace or other materials glued to the sticks. Another type of folding fans is the brisé fan， 58 （consist） only of decorative sticks with no pleated （起褶的） leaf.

The brisé fan was popular in the 17th and early 18th centuries， but was never as widespread as the folding fan 59 a painted and pleated leaf. However， in the late 18th and early 19th century smaller fans had come into fashion， perhaps due to the narrower， high-waisted dresses that could no longer accommodate large pockets beneath， 60 one could put a large fan.

It’s not easy to die when you are only fifteen. Those were the words that began the story I heard from Robert White， a North Carolina factory worker. He and his wife were visiting their daughter Lee in the hospital as they did every evening.

She knew she had an illness that would not spare her. She suffered a lot but never complained. She had already accepted her great journey into the unknown. This particular evening， she suddenly said， “I always dreamed of working in a big ocean park with dolphins. I’ve loved them since I was little. I still dream of swimming with them， free and happy in the open sea.”

She’d never asked for anything， but she said with all the strength she had， “Daddy， I want to swim in the open sea among the dolphins just once. Maybe then I wouldn’t be so scared of dying.” It seemed like an impossible dream， but she hung on to it.

Robert and his family talked it over and decided to do everything they could. They phoned a research center in the Florida Keys. “Come at once，” they said.

When they arrived in Grassy Key， Lee didn’t want to rest for a minute and begged her parents to take her to the dolphins. Robert took her out toward the dolphins， Nat and Tursi， who were playing about thirty feet away from them. At first they seemed distracted and uninterested， but when Lee called them softly by name， they responded without hesitation. Nat came over first， raised his head and gave her a kiss on the end of her nose. Then Tursi came over happily. A second later they picked her up with their mighty fins and carried her out to sea with them. “It feels like I’m flying！” cried Lee， laughing with delight.

Lee’s family hadn’t heard her laugh like that since she became ill. The dolphins stayed with Lee for more than an hour， always tender， always attentive， and always responsive to her wishes.

注意：續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150個(gè)左右。

Maybe it’s true that they are more intelligent and sensitive creatures than man.

The next day she was too weak to get out of bed， but she whispered to her father，
