Last weekend I visited Rome for the first time. 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 can't 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 couldn't tear my eyes away from it.
In Rome, there is a lot of food on offer for tourists but some of it isn't of very good quality. I made an effort to find reliable restaurants to taste the popular K12小学初中高中

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.

答案：B Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Which is much more significant to you when you are finding a job? Working experience or an advanced degree？Well, I believe diverse people have different answers. 1 Here are some reasons：
Above all, most of jobs don't require such a high degree，which means just some work, such as theoretical physics，archaeology, or literature, needs high academic qualification. 2 For example, when you are offering a department manager post, and there is a man who has already been a manager for three years but only has a master's degree and an inexperienced person with a doctor's degree, which one would you choose? Definitely the first one for the manager who doesn't acquire a doctor's degree but has rich working experience.
3 For instance, Bill Gates, who was the richest man in the world and one of the most successful merchants. What a wise choice when he decided to abandon studying so that he could gain more working experience instead of a doctor's degree！Or Steve Paul Jobs, who discontinued his study at the age of nineteen in order to become a member of a computer company just like Bill Gates. 4
5 Maybe you shouldn't have to gain an advanced or high degree, but that doesn't mean nothing. Probably a bachelor's degree is still necessary in this fiercely competitive society.
All in all, I think rich working experience is much more important than an advanced degree.
A．However, a degree is still required for most people. B．Meanwhile，rich working experience will draw more attention. C．Secondly，plenty of experience will bring you success much earlier. D．In my view, either working experience or an advanced degree counts. E．As for me, I will say working experience without hesitation.
F．As a matter of fact, more people with rich working experience become K12小学初中高中
小初高试卷教案类 successful.
G．From all of these, we can see that an advanced degree isn't so necessary as working experience.

8．解析：考查动词的时态和主谓一致。根据该句时间状语“for over 10 years”可知，此处应用现在完成时，又因who指代先行词Marleni Calcina，为单数，故填has done。
答案：has done
