Contrary to popular belief, winter is actually a good time to travel. Below, you’ll find recommendations for the best places to visit in winter in the USA.
Sequoia (红杉) National Park California
This park is famous for its giant sequoia trees. And though it’s impressive to walk among 250-foot sequoias, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing through Giant Forest Grove when the towering trees are dusted with snow is pure magic.
Accommodation: The centrally located Visalia Marriott is just 40 minutes from the park gate.
Charleston, South Carolina
Start your weekend getaway on a historic carriage ride downtown in cold winter. Clip-clop past the city’s churches, see where they stored all the gunpowder back in the 1700s and learn about Charleston’s past.
Accommodation: Located in the city’s historic heart, the Charleston Place hotel features plush rooms and excellent dining.
Keystone, Colorado
Ski report website On the Snow rates it the top resort for families, thanks to free parking; ski-in, ski-out lodgings; a kids-ski-free program; and beginner terrain (地形).
Accommodation: Keystone Lodge and Spa has cozy mountain-inspired rooms and lofts, a heated outdoor pool and hot tub.
Park City, Utah
Located just 40 minutes from Salt Lake City, the largest ski resort in the United States is known for its light, dry snow, sunny skies and variety of terrain.
Accommodation: Marriott’s Summit Watch is an affordable option located right in Park City, and it offers accessible rooms.

I was a volunteer with the city of Milpitas and was studying at Mission College. One night after going to class, I was heading home and decided to stop off at a burrito (墨西哥卷饼) restaurant. I got my burrito and started to head for my car when I was approached by a homeless man. He was very dirty and obviously very hungry. He asked me for some change to buy a little food. As I was pulling some change out, I had an idea.
I asked him to follow me back into the burrito restaurant to order. He was ashamed of the way he looked and said he did not want to go in there. But I insisted. When he finally followed me in, the people behind the counter (柜台) refused to let him in, but I told them that I was buying him dinner and he had a right to be there. After we argued over it for a while, they finally gave in. It seemed like he was relieved a bit to be sitting at a table. I asked him to order whatever he wanted. But he only ordered a burrito.
For someone who has been on the fringes (边缘) of society, he was very surprised at my generosity. But to me, it was what any “human being” should do or at least offer. You had to be there to see the look in his face. It reminded me when I was young, my mom brought out a big birthday cake for me on my birthday, with all the candy, chocolate and goodies that we were about to eat. I think he felt special, like he was getting attention, something that I could see he hadn’t experienced in a long time.
I often think about this story because, to me, it’s not just about helping someone out by feeding them. It’s more about giving them the respect and dignity of being a human being and allowing them to feel good about themselves.
24. Why did the homeless man approach the author
A. To ask for a lift. B. To beg for money.
C. To request a burrito. D. To seek company.
25. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. Where to sit in the restaurant.
B. What to order for the homeless man.
C. Whether to buy dinner for the homeless man.
D. Whether to allow the homeless man to enter the restaurant.
26. Why does the author mention his birthday in paragraph 3
A. To demonstrate his wonderful childhood.
B. To stress the importance of enjoying a feast.
C. To contrast his life with that of the homeless man.
D. To describe the happy feelings of the homeless man.
27. What does the author suggest doing in the last paragraph
A. Treating others with respect.
B. Fighting against the world of hunger.
C. Encouraging acts of bravery.
D. Paying attention to the homeless.
C
Stonehenge is a very famous stone circle located in southern England. For centuries,historians have been extremely confused by it. On Wednesday, researchers brought out new and unexpected information about the six-ton Altar Stone at Stonehenge.
For a long time, people believed that the Altar Stone, which lies in the middle of the well-known circle, came from Wales. However, new research shows that it actually came from Scotland, which is hundreds of miles away. This discovery raises new questions about how people transported the stone about 5,000 years ago. According to a study published in the journal Nature on Wednesday, the Altar Stone probably came from the Orcadian Basin in Scotland, at least 466 miles from Stonehenge.
Chris Kirkland, one of the experts, said this discovery of where the Altar Stone came from showed there was a high level of cooperation from local people during the Neolithic period. Moving such a huge stone from Scotland to southern England by land would have been extremely challenging. So, it’s likely they used a shipping route along the British coast.
Stonehenge is mainly made up of two kinds of stones: sarsen (砂岩) and bluestone. The large sarsen stones mostly came from an area about 16 miles north of the monument. The Altar Stone is considered a bluestone. Studies in the past have shown that most of Stonehenge’s bluestones came from Wales. To find out where the Altar Stone came from, geologists examined its chemical characteristics and analyzed the minerals in the rock. They found that the Altar Stone didn’t match the geology of Welsh rocks.
“While we can now say that this iconic rock is Scottish and not Welsh, the research will still very much be on to pin down where exactly in the north-east of Scotland the Altar Stone came from,” study co-author and Aberystwyth University professor Richard Bevins said.
English Heritage, the organization that looks after Stonehenge, called this an exciting discovery. They said in a social media post that the more we learn about Stonehenge, the more questions we get. The purpose of Stonehenge is still a puzzle. Some people think it was built for astronomical (天文的) reasons, while others think it was related to human sacrifice (祭祀).
28. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. The location of the Altar Stone.
B. The reason for building the Stonehenge.
C. The method of transporting the Altar Stone.
D. The discovery of the Altar Stone’s true origin.
29. What played a key part in the move of the stone
A. Teamwork. B. Superpower. C. Leadership. D. Creativity.
30. What does the underlined part “pin down” most probably mean
A. Find out. B. Look down. C. Take on. D. Set off.
31. What can we infer about the purpose of the Stonehenge
A. People think it a mystery forever.
B. People will bring it to light soon.
C. People hold different views on it.
D. People mostly consider it as a kind of sacrifice.
D
Killer whales hunt fish with sounds as clicks and buzzes — they choose and chase their prey (猎物) with sound waves. But a common feature of modern ocean life may be like a salmon’s invisible cloak (隐形斗篷), making the whales’ favorite meal harder to find. What is to blame Boat traffic noise.
Ocean noise has been increasing over the years, and an international research team recently reported in Global Change Biology that when the water got too noisy, whales spent more time looking for food but caught fewer fish. The study tracked every move and sound that individual killer whales made, as well as the sound reaching those whales. This is the first time scientists have linked noise reaching a given killer whale to their foraging (觅食) success, says lead author Jennifer Tennessen.
The noise problem is one that Tennessen views as chronic, yet possibly more straightforward to fix than declining fish populations or pollution — ships could simply slow down to make less noise. Fortunately, with the guidance of both governmental and nongovernmental groups, some ship operators are slowing down.
The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority in Canada reported in 2023 that 87 percent of ships slowed or moved over for southern resident whales in critical habitat, which led to a decrease of 4.2 decibels (分贝) compared to 2019, before slowdowns began. Washington ports and other local authorities join in a program of voluntary slowdowns in Washington waters called Quiet Sound, which offers information on killer whale locations. About 70 percent of ships follow Quiet Sound’s guidelines and voluntarily slow down in killer whale critical habitat.
The talk about innovations in propeller (螺旋桨) technology is also positive. A propeller, for example, is based on a design for a quieter drone propeller. If claims of a more efficient and quieter boat propeller are true, that’s good news for both reducing fuel use and quieting traffic.
Tennessen says increasing ship noise is a problem in oceans around the world. “We’re finally able to measure the impacts that it’s having on wildlife,” she says, “and we’re finding that the impacts are numerous.”
32. Why does the author mention a salmon’s invisible cloak
A. To introduce the feature of sound waves.
B. To describe the environment in whales’ hunting.
C. To emphasize the invisibility of salmons’ cloak.
D. To demonstrate the characteristic of whales’ hunting.
33. What do the statistics indicate in paragraph 4
A. Noise reduction is ineffective.
B. Ship operators ignore guidelines.
C. Quiet Sound prioritizes noise monitoring.
D. Voluntary slowdowns lead to noise reduction.
34. What is the significance of propeller technology innovations
A. To address noise issues.
B. To reduce fuel efficiency.
C. To follow Quiet Sound’s guidelines.
D. To help measure influences on wildlife.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Ships Slow Down for Whales
B. Boat Noise Clouds Whale Foraging
C. Killer Whales Battle Noise Pollution
D. Technology Innovations Silence Propellers

Easy Ways to Reduce Your Food Waste
Shop smart.
Most people tend to buy more food than they need. To avoid buying more food than you need, make frequent trips to the supermarket every few days rather than doing a big shopping trip once a week.
36 This will help you reduce impulse buying (冲动消费) and reduce food waste as well.
Store food correctly.
Improper storage leads to a massive amount of food waste. Many people don’t know how to store fruits and vegetables, which can lead to their eventually going bad. For example,potatoes, tomatoes, and onions should never be refrigerated (冷藏). 37
38
The consumer demand for perfect fruits and vegetables has led major supermarkets to buy only picture-perfect produce from farmers. This leads to tons of perfectly good food going to waste. It’s such a big issue that major supermarkets have started offering “ugly” fruits and vegetables at a discount in an attempt to reduce waste.
Pack your lunch.
Although going out to lunch with co-workers may be enjoyable, it is also costly and can contribute to food waste. 39 If you tend to have unfinished home-cooked meals, pack them up for a satisfying and healthy workday lunch.
Understand expiration (到期) dates.
“Sell by” and “Best by” are just two of the many confusing terms companies use on food labels to let consumers know when a product will most likely go bad. The truth is, most food that has just passed its expiration date is still safe to eat. “Sell by” is used to inform sellers when the product should be sold or removed from the shelves. 40 Neither of these terms means that the product is unsafe to eat after the given date.
A. Don’t be a perfectionist.
B. Get creative in the kitchen.
C. These items should be kept at room temperature.
D. “Best by” is a suggested date for consumers to use their products by.
E. A helpful way to reduce food waste is to bring lunch to work with you.
F. Additionally, try making a list of items that you need to buy and stick to that list.
G. Not surprisingly, industrialized countries waste more food than developing nations.

“Another new year,” Maggie thought as she headed out. She walked a few blocks to buy herself a gift. Suddenly, one store caught her attention. And as she entered the front door, a small bell announced her presence.
“Happy New Year,” a man greeted. “Hi,” Maggie replied, “you too.” “Can I help you find something ” he inquired. “I don’t really know what I want as my gift,” Maggie sighed. “Ah,when you don’t know what you want, get what you need,” he offered. After a brief moment of silence, the man smiled and claimed, “I have the perfect gift for you.” The man went to a shelf that had one item left on it. “This is what you need,” he said as he handed Maggie a box. “A doll ” Maggie asked, looking through the clean plastic on the front of the box. “It’s what you need and what will make you happy,” he replied. “It is a beautiful baby doll,” Maggie observed.“It looks expensive and I don’t know if I have enough money. How much is it ” “98 cents,” the man replied. Maggie asked in a surprising tone, “This doll is worth much more. How can you stay in business when you charge so little ” “We will be just fine,” the man smiled back at her, “and you will get a gift that will make you happy.”
The doll was quickly wrapped and returned to her. Maggie paid for the doll and left. She walked down the street in the direction of home. The sky was slowly darkening as the evening took over.
After a few minutes, she approached a woman and a young girl sitting on a bench (长凳) next to the sidewalk in front of a small park. Maggie decided to sit down on a nearby vacant bench and take in the atmosphere of New Year.
She noticed the woman was trying to comfort the little girl who was upset and sniffling (抽噎) . “We still have each other,” the woman comforted. “I know,” the young girl replied, “but I don’t know why somebody would steal presents on this day.”

这篇文章主要讲述了新年期间Maggie的一段温暖经历。在新年当天，Maggie出门想为自己买件礼物，偶然走进一家神秘的商店。店主以当你不知道想要什么时，就买你需要的为理念，推荐并仅以98美分的低价卖给她一个精美的洋娃娃。当Maggie回家路上，她遇到一对因礼物被偷而伤心的母女。故事在此处留下悬念。
Wish there was something I could do to help,” Maggie thought. Looking around, Maggie noticed the gift-wrapped doll box next to her on the bench. She looked back at the mother and daughter, aware of what she had to do. Maggie left the bench, with the doll box in her hands, and approached them. “Excuse me,” Maggie said, “you don’t know me but I would like to give you this gift since I overheard that your present had been stolen.” Maggie handed the gift-wrapped box to the little girl whose eyes were wide open.
Both mother and daughter were thankful. Tears of joy welling up in their eyes, the previous worry and concern were replaced by smiles. “I can’t thank you enough for your kindness.” the woman said in a choked voice, “Without your assistance, my daughter couldn’t have obtained the present. You have no idea what a surprise this is!” “I am happy to help!” Maggie replied as a warm feeling of joy came over her. Everyone had smiles on their faces, immersing themselves in the warm atmosphere. Only then did Maggie realize that it was kindness and love that made our world so beautiful!
