Four Great Restaurants in Bologna, Italy
If you’re looking for a restaurant in Bologna, don’t miss out on our picks of the best places to eat in the city.
Sfoglia Rina
Tradition and innovation are all on the menu at Sfoglia Rina, along-standing family restaurant near Bologna’s famous Two Towers. Rina was started as a fresh pasta (意大利面食) shop back in the 1960s, and the pasta is all still handmade. Ingredients are carefully and sustainably sourced, and pasta-making classes are periodically offered for kids and adults.
Via Castiglione, 5/b, 40124 Bologna
Zerocinquantino
Aperitivo is typically a pre-dinner snack and drink, but at Zerocinquantino, you may make it a meal as many people in Bologna do. Baskets of local bread are served with the region’s famous meat and cheeses, and a long list of wines is available in glasses and bottles. The service is fast, and the atmosphere is young and modem.

The menu is a mix of traditional Bolognese food and dishes from around Italy, so you’re sure to find something you like as long as you have enough money.

Spring lifts our spirits and makes us full of energy. It’s a time for Nature to bring us back to life after a cold season. I live not far from a park, which is one of the largest gardens in Japan, and famous for its near 10,000 plum trees(李子树). I am fortunate to have them all outside my backyard, and take advantage of the walking paths daily.
I see the same trees and swans(天鹅) every day, but that day was different. At the edge of the small lake, I saw some new-born black swans. They were pretty and cute. They stayed with their mom. While taking a few photos of the sunset, I was interrupted(打断)by a high sound going on for some time.Therefore, I turned around and saw one little swan was stuck by two stones. Its mother was trying to make it out but failed. I tried to get near but the mother was ever so angry! She wouldn’t allow me to get close, so I turned to an old man sitting on the bench and said, “Excuse me; the baby swan can’t move and I want to help it, but the mother is extremely angry! Could you please do me a favor ”
After hearing my words, the man smiled at me first and then agreed to help me. He drove the mother away with great efforts, and for several times, he was almost hurt by the mother. Thanks to him, I was able to get there and pull the little swan out of the gap finally. Oh, I really hoped it wasn’t injured, but at least it was alive and swimming!
In spring, I become more physically active. Things around don’t make us, but nature does, and it keeps us going. I am positive that all of us have a little piece of nature in our own neighborhoods. Somewhere we will be reminded why natural life is so important—because we grow with it! Personally, I am happy that baby birds can put a smile on my face! I struggle for having a small number of “things” in life, and being filled with simple reality—at one with Nature.

C
Modern inventions have speeded up people’s lives amazingly. Motor-cars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour. Aireraft cross the world a day, while computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. Every year motor-cars are produced which go even faster each new computer boasts (吹嘘) of saving precious seconds in handling tasks.
All this saves time, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel that they have been left bebind in another time zone. Again, spending too long at computers results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have dange according to some seientists; too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains, a consequence we do not like to think about.
However, what do we do with the time we have saved Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing, or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imaginations take us into another world.
There was a time when some people’s lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors faeed; they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modern machinery has freed people from that primitive existence.
8. The new products become more and more time-saving beeause_________.
A. our love on speed seems never-ending
B. time is limited
C. the prices are increasingly high
D. the manufacturers boast a lot
9. What does“the days”in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Imaginary life. B. Simple life in the past.
C. Times of inventions. D. Time for constant activity.
10. What is the author’s attitude towards the modern technology
A Critical. B. Objective. C. Optimistic. D. Negative.
11. What does the passage mainly discuss
A. The present and past times. B. Machinary and human beings.
C. Imaginations and inventions. D. Modern technology and its influence.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述现代科技发明极大的提高了人们的生活，但同时也带来了一些影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. (事实上，这种对速度的热爱似乎永无止境。)”可知，因为我们一直追求速度，对速度的热爱永不停息，所以新产品越来越省时，故选A。
【9题详解】
短语猜测题。根据第三段 “when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imaginations take us into another world. (当时我们可能静静地听收音机里的故事，让想象力把我们带入另一个世界。)”及第四段“There was a time when some people’s lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. (曾经有一段时间，有些人的生命只是致力于耕种土地或照顾牛。那里没有多任务处理；他们的生活以更温和的速度继续，并以熟悉的模式进行。对于这样的生活方式，我们可能会羡慕很多东西。)”可知，the days是指过去那种慢节奏的、生活简单的日子。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“However, what do we do with the time we have saved Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing, or even just one thing at a time. (但是，我们该如何利用节省的时间呢？当然不会放松，至少看起来是这样。我们习惯于不断的活动，以至于我们发现很难坐下来什么都不做，甚至一次只做一件事。)”及最后一段“There was a time when some people’s lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors faeed; they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modern machinery has freed people from that primitive existence. (曾经有一段时间，有些人的生命只是致力于耕种土地或照顾牛。那里没有多任务处理；他们的生活以更温和的速度继续，并以熟悉的模式进行。对于这样的生活方式，我们可能会羡慕很多东西。然而，在我们这样做之前，我们必须考虑我们的祖先所承担的艰巨任务。他们赤手空拳地耕种，经常生活在饥饿的边缘，不得不用木头和石头制作工具。现代机械将人们从原始的生活方式中解放出来。)”可知，一方面作者对于现代发明给人们带来的便利予以肯定，另一方面又承认了它的负面影响，所以作者的观点是中立的、客观的。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Modern inventions have speeded up people’s lives amazingly. (现代发明惊人地加快了人们的生活。)”及“However, what do we do with the time we have saved Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing, or even just one thing at a time. (但是，我们该如何利用节省的时间呢？当然不会放松，至少看起来是这样。我们习惯于不断的活动，以至于我们发现很难坐下来什么都不做，甚至一次只做一件事。)”可知，本文主要讲述了现代发明提高了人们的生活，同时讲述了它所带来的负面影响。故文章主要讨论现代技术及其影响，故选D。
D
Processed foods—cheap, convenient, and beloved by many Americans—have once again been proven harmful to our health. Higher consumption of ultra-processed foods was associated with an increased risk of heart disease and death, according to a study carried out this week in the Journal American College of Cardiology.
Past research has also linked these preservative-laden (含防腐剂的) foods to weight gain, cancer, and early death. Many studies, including the recent cardiology paper, have proven the health risks are higher for people who eat a greater quantity of processed foods.
Each daily serving of ultra-processed food—such as a single protein bar or a 12 oz can of soda—was associated with a 7% increase in the risk of dying of cardiovascular disease and a 9% increase in the risk of dying due to heart disease, based on data from more than 3,000 adults followed for nearly 20 years.
Still, processed foods are “ubiquitous” in our diets, lead author Filipa Juul said in a press release. Although we know they’re bad for our health, ultra-processed foods account for more than half of the daily calories in the average American diet. Even seemingly healthy options like protein bars, breakfast cereals, and most industrially produced breads are filled with preservatives and added sugar, salt, and fat.
“As a poor diet is a major risk factor for heart disease, it represents a critical target in prevention efforts,” Juul, a researcher at the New York University School of Public Health, said in the press release. The authors recommended taxing (征税) processed foods with added sugar as a possible incentive (刺激) to reduce consumption.
More importantly, they acknowledged the need to make more nutritious choices available and affordable, especially for populations that have historically lacked that access. “Ultimately, the goal should be to make the unhealthy choice the hard choice and the healthy choice the easy choice,” Robert J. Ostfeld, MD, MSc, and Kathleen E. Allen, MS, RD, wrote in an editorial accompanying the study.
12. How does the author illustrate the effect of ultra-processed food in paragraph 3
A. By giving examples. B. By listing figures.
C. By analyzing causes. D. By making predictions.
13. What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Unavoidable. B. Priceless. C. Complicated. D. Luxurious.
14. What does the last paragraph focus on
A. Methods of reducing consumption.
B. Different factors for heart disease.
C. The accessibility of healthy food.
D. The necessity of resisting processed foods.
15. What is the best title of the text
A. Taxing Processed Foods Remains an Urgent Task
B. Mysteries of Heart Diseases Have Been Uncovered
C. Choosing Your Diet Carefully Makes a Great Difference
D. Eating Ultra-Processed Foods Increases Heart Disease Risk
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了一项研究发现，食用过多的超加工食品会增加患心脏病和死亡的风险。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段内容“Each daily serving of ultra-processed food—such as a single protein bar or a 12 oz can of soda—was associated with a 7% increase in the risk of dying of cardiovascular disease and a 9% increase in the risk of dying due to heart disease, based on data from more than 3,000 adults followed for nearly 20 years.”（根据近20年来跟踪的3000多名成年人的数据，每天食用一份超加工食品，如一块蛋白棒或一罐12盎司的苏打水，心血管疾病死亡风险增加7%，心脏病死亡风险增加9%。）可知，第三段中列举了“7%”和“9%”等具体的数据来说明食用超加工食品对身体的危害，由此可知，作者在第三段中通过列出数字说明超加工食品的影响。故选B项。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线单词下文“Although we know they’re bad for our health, ultra-processed foods account for more than half of the daily calories in the average American diet.”（尽管我们知道超加工食品对我们的健康有害，但超加工食品占美国普通饮食中每日热量的一半以上。）可知，虽然我们知道超加工食品对我们的健康有害，但这些食品仍在我们的日常饮食中占很大比重，由此可知，加工食品在我们的饮食中“无处不在”，不可避免，“Unavoidable”意为“不可避免的”，能够表达画线单词在句中所要表达的意思。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句““Ultimately, the goal should be to make the unhealthy choice the hard choice and the healthy choice the easy choice,” Robert J. Ostfeld, MD, MSc, and Kathleen E. Allen, MS, RD, wrote in an editorial accompanying the study.”（“最终，我们的目标应该是让不健康的选择成为艰难的选择，让健康的选择变成容易的选择，”医学博士Robert J. Ostfeld和医学博士Kathleen E. Allen在研究报告的一篇社论中写道。）可知，医学博士呼吁我们让健康食物的选择变成容易的选择，让人们更容易买到健康的食物，由此可知，最后一段关注的是健康食品的可及性。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段关键句“Higher consumption of ultra-processed foods was associated with an increased risk of heart disease and death, according to a study carried out this week in the Journal American College of Cardiology.”（本周在《美国心脏病学杂志》上进行一项研究表明，食用过多的超加工食品会增加患心脏病和死亡的风险。）可知，本文主要介绍了一项研究发现，食用过多的超加工食品会增加患心脏病和死亡的风险，“Eating Ultra-Processed Foods Increases Heart Disease Risk”意为“食用超加工食品增加心脏病风险”，选项能够概括文章主要内容。故选D项。

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It all began with a perfect gift. A couple of months before I started high school, my parents gave me the greatest gift any teenage boy could ask for: a smartphone. I lived on that phone all summer with my face buried in its screen. I held multi-day marathon messages with every friend to keep in contact with them. I ignored my family and my surroundings. Being connected was more important than being present.
So, I felt extremely displeased when I learned about my father’s travel arrangements for our family vacation that year. “This year,” my dad said, “we’ll be doing something special. We’re going camping.”
His excitement was met with a disappointed sigh (叹气). But I wasn’t too annoyed. It wasn’t my dream vacation but it was still a vacation. I remained uninfluenced throughout the packing, planning and, of course, the instructions that went in one ear and out the other. I fixed my mind on the screen in my hands so much that the first time I raised my eyes was when we drove across a bridge on the way to our campsite.
I stared out the window and saw a fast-moving river. The air blowing into the car was hot and smelled of trees. But none of that mattered to me. The reason why I had looked up was for something far more serious. More shocking. My phone no longer had service.
Then my dad revealed that he had chosen a destination where there was no phone signal, and my phone — my lifeline — would be useless until we returned home. I would be trapped in the forest for four days with no way to contact the outside world.
On the first day, I shouted. I bargained. I begged. However, nothing would add signal bars (信号条) to my phone service. I went to bed angry that night, thinking I would be bored to death the next day.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Without my phone, however, I found a totally different world the next morning.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The four days passed in a flash, full of fun activities.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Without my phone, however, I found a totally different world the next morning. Animals created sounds that were both loud and peaceful. My anger turned into peace, then little interest and, finally, excitement. With each minute passing, I sank deeper into a more peaceful world. The unique sight that met my surprised eye nearly took my breath away. For the first time, I thought camping in a destination where there was no phone signal might not be so bad.
The four days passed in a flash full of fun activities. I hiked. I swam. I fished. No sooner had I caught sight of my bad making a fire than I joined him, and after several false starts, we finally made it. I jumped high in the air, wild with joy. Dad told me stories of his life. When the vacation came to an end, I was extremely amazed that I hadn’t thought of my phone once. I hadn’t felt the need to keep in contact with anyone. It dawned on me that what mattered most were the moments I was sharing with just my father and nature.

Ingredients are carefully and sustainably sourced, and pasta-making classes are periodically offered for kids and adults.

Spring lifts our spirits and makes us full of energy. It’s a time for Nature to bring us back to life after a cold season. I live not far from a park, which is one of the largest gardens in Japan, and famous for its near 10,000 plum trees(李子树). I am fortunate to have them all outside my backyard, and take advantage of the walking paths daily.
I see the same trees and swans(天鹅) every day, but that day was different. At the edge of the small lake, I saw some new-born black swans. They were pretty and cute. They stayed with their mom. While taking a few photos of the sunset, I was interrupted(打断)by a high sound going on for some time.Therefore, I turned around and saw one little swan was stuck by two stones. Its mother was trying to make it out but failed. I tried to get near but the mother was ever so angry! She wouldn’t allow me to get close, so I turned to an old man sitting on the bench and said, “Excuse me; the baby swan can’t move and I want to help it, but the mother is extremely angry! Could you please do me a favor ”
After hearing my words, the man smiled at me first and then agreed to help me. He drove the mother away with great efforts, and for several times, he was almost hurt by the mother. Thanks to him, I was able to get there and pull the little swan out of the gap finally. Oh, I really hoped it wasn’t injured, but at least it was alive and swimming!
In spring, I become more physically active. Things around don’t make us, but nature does, and it keeps us going. I am positive that all of us have a little piece of nature in our own neighborhoods. Somewhere we will be reminded why natural life is so important—because we grow with it! Personally, I am happy that baby birds can put a smile on my face! I struggle for having a small number of “things” in life, and being filled with simple reality—at one with Nature.

Modern inventions have speeded up people’s lives amazingly. Motor-cars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour. Aireraft cross the world a day, while computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. Every year motor-cars are produced which go even faster each new computer boasts (吹嘘) of saving precious seconds in handling tasks.
All this saves time, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel that they have been left bebind in another time zone. Again, spending too long at computers results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have dange according to some seientists; too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains, a consequence we do not like to think about.
However, what do we do with the time we have saved Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing, or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imaginations take us into another world.
There was a time when some people’s lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors faeed; they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modern machinery has freed people from that primitive existence.
8. The new products become more and more time-saving beeause_________.
A. our love on speed seems never-ending
B. time is limited
C. the prices are increasingly high
D. the manufacturers boast a lot
9. What does“the days”in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Imaginary life. B. Simple life in the past.
C. Times of inventions. D. Time for constant activity.
10. What is the author’s attitude towards the modern technology
A. Critical. B. Objective. C. Optimistic. D. Negative.
11 What does the passage mainly discuss
A. The present and past times. B. Machinary and human beings.
C. Imaginations and inventions. D. Modern technology and its influence.
D
Processed foods—cheap, convenient, and beloved by many Americans—have once again been proven harmful to our health. Higher consumption of ultra-processed foods was associated with an increased risk of heart disease and death, according to a study carried out this week in the Journal American College of Cardiology.
Past research has also linked these preservative-laden (含防腐剂的) foods to weight gain, cancer, and early death. Many studies, including the recent cardiology paper, have proven the health risks are higher for people who eat a greater quantity of processed foods.
Each daily serving of ultra-processed food—such as a single protein bar or a 12 oz can of soda—was associated with a 7% increase in the risk of dying of cardiovascular disease and a 9% increase in the risk of dying due to heart disease, based on data from more than 3,000 adults followed for nearly 20 years.
Still, processed foods are “ubiquitous” in our diets, lead author Filipa Juul said in a press release. Although we know they’re bad for our health, ultra-processed foods account for more than half of the daily calories in the average American diet. Even seemingly healthy options like protein bars, breakfast cereals, and most industrially produced breads are filled with preservatives and added sugar, salt, and fat.
“As a poor diet is a major risk factor for heart disease, it represents a critical target in prevention efforts,” Juul, a researcher at the New York University School of Public Health, said in the press release. The authors recommended taxing (征税) processed foods with added sugar as a possible incentive (刺激) to reduce consumption.
More importantly, they acknowledged the need to make more nutritious choices available and affordable, especially for populations that have historically lacked that access. “Ultimately, the goal should be to make the unhealthy choice the hard choice and the healthy choice the easy choice,” Robert J. Ostfeld, MD, MSc, and Kathleen E. Allen, MS, RD, wrote in an editorial accompanying the study.

13. What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in paragraph 4 mean

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It all began with a perfect gift. A couple of months before I started high school, my parents gave me the greatest gift any teenage boy could ask for: a smartphone. I lived on that phone all summer with my face buried in its screen. I held multi-day marathon messages with every friend to keep in contact with them. I ignored my family and my surroundings. Being connected was more important than being present.
So, I felt extremely displeased when I learned about my father’s travel arrangements for our family vacation that year. “This year,” my dad said, “we’ll be doing something special. We’re going camping.”
His excitement was met with a disappointed sigh (叹气). But I wasn’t too annoyed. It wasn’t my dream vacation, but it was still a vacation. I remained uninfluenced throughout the packing, planning and, of course, the instructions that went in one ear and out the other. I fixed my mind on the screen in my hands so much that the first time I raised my eyes was when we drove across a bridge on the way to our campsite.
I stared out the window and saw a fast-moving river. The air blowing into the car was hot and smelled of trees. But none of that mattered to me. The reason why I had looked up was for something far more serious. More shocking. My phone no longer had service.
Then my dad revealed that he had chosen a destination where there was no phone signal, and my phone — my lifeline — would be useless until we returned home. I would be trapped in the forest for four days with no way to contact the outside world.
On the first day, I shouted. I bargained. I begged. However, nothing would add signal bars (信号条) to my phone service. I went to bed angry that night, thinking I would be bored to death the next day.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Without my phone, however, I found a totally different world the next morning.
