One such sunrise struck Franco Cagnoli with a spiritual calling that led him to go on a mission that affected both the village and him deeply.Rocca Calascio has seen no resident since 1957. Depopulation of rural or mountain villages in Italy began with the resettlement of villagers in the early 20th century, accelerating after World War Two when people were attracted to urban jobs.However, like many places, the area is enjoying a revival(复苏)and now home to some families. “To put it in romantic terms, there is a love story between me and the ancient building,” Cagnoli said as he showed visitors round the castle of Rocca Calascio. The castle, with foundations dating back about 1,000 years, is one of the highest in Europe. It began as a tower in a line of connected structures to control and protect the land that stretched inland from the Adriatic Sea.Cagnoli, now 39, first saw Rocca Calascio when he was 16. He was on a road trip to find himself. “I arrived here as the morning sun lit up the castle. I was blinded by the light and since that day something inside me has changed,” he said. “I thought it was the most beautiful place. I felt special energies, deciding to help its rebirth.” He’s now the castle’s caretaker and head of a cooperative whose members guide visitors.“Besides temporary visitors, the complete revival has much to do with permanent residents. People of the previous generation didn’t appreciate the land they lived on,” Valeria Befani, a resident in the village, said. “Today’s teenagers, like my children, are proud of their land and arehappy if they can stay here.”4．What inspired Cagnoli to help revive Rocca Calascio?A．His trip to find himself.B．The impressive scene of the village.C．His love for ancient buildings.D．The historical importance of the castle. 5．How was Rocca Calascio affected by World War Two?A．Its population loss speeded up.B．It got left behind in economy.C．Its buildings were damaged.D．It was known by more people.6．Why was the castle built?A．To attract people to visit.B．To reduce attack from waves.C．To strengthen coastal defense.D．To protect the connected structures. 7．What might Befani agree with?A．Views of different generations vary greatly.B．Reviving Rocca Calascio has a long way to go.C．Teenagers are proud of their hometown.D．The future of Rocca Calascio is full of promise.For more than 200 years ancient buildings have been reconstructed. Reasons for the reconstruction of Roman architecture in particular are many. People like to be surrounded by reconstructions of ancient ruins, where they can learn in an accurate and real manner that is similar to in a museum.In Reconstructions of Ancient Roman Architecture, Anita Rieche, an archaeologist by profession who has an in-depth understanding of this topic, presents a long series of Roman building reconstructions. In the introduction, she divides these reconstructions into groups and deals with the multiple factors influencing them. This is very helpful to the readers as it enables them to distinguish the 1:1 reconstructed models from the original buildings. The reader will also better understand the intentions behind and problems that happened during the establishment of reconstructed ancient buildings.In what follows, using selected examples, the author takes us through the broad range of stadiums, temples and mansions that one can visit throughout the world. Rieche confines herself largely to a thorough but impartial (不偏不倚的) analysis of the buildings. However, I would havedesired more personal, deeper thoughts of the author on those challenging reconstruction projects. Obviously, a book like this cannot cover all existing reconstructions — the number is countless. Surprisingly the Limes Museum in Aalen fails to appear in the book, except for a small sentence.Nevertheless, Anita Rieche offers the reader a very informative and useful guide to the facsimiles (复制本) of Roman architecture; it also offers a specified view of what lies under the surfaces of reconstructed buildings. It gives a clear overview of the various forms and functional contexts of reconstruction in archaeology. For travelers who especially enjoy virtual or actual revivals of the past, it’s an enjoyable reading.8．What can we know about the reconstruction of Roman buildings?A．It applies the latest technology.B．It helps people learn in a real way.C．It has been conducted for decades.D．It has the same function as museums. 9．How does the book help readers understand reconstructed ancient buildings?A．By ranking them.B．By introducing their stories.C．By comparing them with original ones.D．By grouping them and analyzing influential factors.10．What does the underlined word “confines” mean in paragraph 3?A．Limits.B．Adapts.C．Commits.D．Exposes. 11．What does the author think of the book?A．Practical and detailed.B．Reasonable and enjoyable.C．Insightful and thoughtful.D．Forceful and comprehensive.“There are few things more delightful than seeing a child’s eyes light up as they pick up a present and wonder what might be inside,” says Chaz Firestone, an assistant professor of psychological science, “What our work shows is that your mind is able to track the information they are seeking. Just as they, might be able to tell what’s inside the box by shaking it around, you can tell what they are trying to figure out when they shake it.”A team of researchers recently conducted a fascinating study to look into the science behind this present-guessing phenomenon. They asked 500 volunteers to watch two videos, each showing someone shaking a box of objects with different intentions. In one video, the person wasattempting to determine the number of items inside the box, while in the other, they aimed to identify the shapes of the objects. Surprisingly, within a few seconds, the study participants were able to accurately determine the intention behind each shake.According to the researchers, this ability to quickly distinguish the purpose behind a shake involves numerous mental calculations and observations of subtle (细微的) cues to understand what someone is trying to learn from their surroundings. Yet, we seem to do it easily. “The way you would shake a present to find out if it’s one thing or many things, or if it’s a small thing or a big thing, can be subtly different,” says Sholei Croom, a graduate student. “But people are amazing at picking up on such differences.”While the study focused primarily on gift-shaking, it opens the door to a deeper understanding of human perception and cognitive abilities. In the future the team would like to pursue whether people observe the difference between what you want to do and what you want to learn. They’re also interested in when these skills emerge in human development and if it’s possible to build computational models to detail exactly how observed physical actions show cognitive intent.12．What does the new study focus on about the box-shaking?A．The motivation to recognize the goals.B．The interaction between vision and thought.C．The way to track the information with mind.D．The psychological insights into emotions.13．What did the participants do in the experiment?A．Report their opinions on videos.B．Identıfy various shaking ways.C．Infer the meaning of the shaking.D．Guess the contents in the box.14．The ability that people can reveal the purpose of subtle movements is based on ______.A．the comprehension of small clues B．the quicker reaction to movementsC．the surroundings people are in D．the prediction of the next move15．What is the possible head of the last paragraph?A．Applications Are Promising B．Tell Hand from HeadC．Where the Research Will Go D．Limitation Still ExistsWhy are Police Officers Called Cops?Police officers are often referred to as cops. 16 Some argue the term is shortened from “copper” and comes from copper badges (徽章) worn by a policeman. Others say that it stands for “Constabulary of Police”.General agreement on the word origins of “cop”, however, suggests that the term is based more on the policeman’s job than on his clothing or job title. In Latin, the verb capere can be defined as “to capture.” In French, the verb is caper. “To cop” in English is to seize or to take.17Some also believe that the Dutch word kapen, which also loosely translates to “to steal or take”, is related to policemen being called coppers or cops. Essentially, the police force was there to take criminals off the streets. 18 And since American English especially draws from German, French, and Latin, the specific language origin of kapen or capere creates a ready path to the term “cop”.19 And it is no longer considered rude. However, certain other terms for police officers are definitely unwelcome. While British Police might not mind being called “bobbies”, no police members like to be referred to as “pigs” or the “fuzz”. Some don’t mind the term the “heat” as applied to the whole police force, but the police force does not generally take kindly to terms given to them by criminals.The term “cop” is in such common usage now that a show documenting their work on the job is called Cops. Even though J. Edgar Hoover once highly objected to the term, it is now fine to refer to a policeman or a police woman as a cop. 20A．The term is slightly less familiar to people.B．So, the Latin, Dutch, and French terms are all similar.C．These words define some of what a police officer does.D．The profession of a police officer was not respected then.E．But the origins of this nickname are something of a debate.F．However, the term “police officer” is generally most correct.G．Today it is appropriate to call members of the police force cops.二、完形填空One day, my children and I found a homeless, small cat trapped in a burning box.
