Whether you’re a thrill-seeker looking for the world’s most intense roller coasters or a family planning a vacation filled with fun for parents and kids, theme parks have something for everyone. Disney and Universal rank first with their famous theme parks in the U. S. and abroad, but regional options offer unique experiences, rides, and themes that you won’t find anywhere else.
Tokyo DisneySea, Japan
Tokyo Disney Resort tops the must-visit list for many Disney theme park fans. Tokyo Disneyland is very similar to Magic Kingdom in Florida or Disneyland Park in California, but Tokyo DisneySea is unique with its nautical (海上的) theme, fantastical lands, and beautiful sections inspired by the Mediterranean, Arabian, and American coasts.
Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
This primarily indoor Ferrari-inspired theme park in Abu Dhabi is a must-visit for car and thrill lovers. It’s home to the world’s fastest roller coaster Formula Rossa, which reaches speeds of 149 mph. When visiting, make sure you also take advantage of the driving experiences, on which you can go around Yas Island behind the wheel of a Ferrari.
Tivoli Gardens, Denmark
One of the world’s oldest operating amusement parks, Tivoli Gardens is a must-visit attraction in the heart of Copenhagen. The park dates back to 1843, and it has rides, theaters, and restaurants spread across its charming grounds and gardens. During the holidays, the park is extra magical with its annual festival when the scene lights up with decorations.
Efteling, Netherlands
Efteling is the Netherlands’ largest and one of Europe’s most-visited amusement parks. Its imaginative rides, gardens, and attractions are themed to Dutch folklore and fairy tales, including a 15-acre Fairytale Forest with more than two dozen scenes. For example, adrenaline-seekers can line up for a thrill ride on the Flying Dutchman water coaster.

By tradition, on Lunar New Year, you’re supposed to put on new clothes, from inner to outer ones. If they’re the lucky red, all the better. You can never have too much luck.
But when you turn a multiple of 12-24, 36, 48, 60 and so on — the tradition gets extended: Red underwear every day of that lunar calendar year. When I first heard about the practice a few years ago, I considered it nonsense. It also seemed ridiculous to buy so many pairs in a color vivid under light clothes. My practical immigrant Chinese parents, an engineer and scientist, didn’t pass this tradition down. Adding another superstition (迷信) also seemed like a thing I could do without. But as I approach my fourth time around the wheel for the “Year of the Dragon,” — in what’s known as “ben ming nian” or the threshold year — I’ve been reflecting upon the milestones of those past intervals: puberty at age 12, moving across the country for a job at 24 and giving birth to my twin sons at 36.
The more I’ve looked into the practice, the more I realize the significance of its popularity. As an American-born Chinese, I have always adopted and adapted what comes from my birthplace. Logically, I know it won’t matter if I wear red or not, but for me, for now, this shared tradition strengthens my bond with my culture.
So often, life goes by so quickly before we could realize. Days become weeks, months, years and suddenly a dozen years go by. My newborns have grown into tweens and I’ve transformed from not quite middle-aged to now very much so. With the turn of the Lunar New Year, I value a chance to reflect on my past struggles and how I found a way through.
It’s a mindset we could all benefit from.
24. What is the tradition on Lunar New Year
A. Wearing lucky red clothes all year round.
B. Putting on new clothes from head to toe.
C. Never having too many lucky clothes.
D. Extending the superstition at a multiple of 12.
25. Why did the author mention her parents
A. To prove it is ridiculous to wear red clothes.
B. To honor her practical immigrant parents.
C. To blame her parents for not passing the tradition down.
D. To justify her not following the extended tradition.
26. What finally changed the author’s attitude to the practice
A. Her approaching the age of 48. B. Its connection with her culture.
C. Her illogical thinking patterns. D. Its popularity among immigrants.
27. What might the author do at her fourth time around the wheel
A. Reflect on her way through. B. Develop a new beneficial mindset.
C. Buy underwear in the vivid red. D. Realize time going by quickly.
C
A few months ago, I was in a cinema queue behind a man whose two sons were asking if they could have Tango Ice Blasts bright blue partly frozen drinks. The father hesitated for a moment. They’d already had too much sugary stuff that day, he said. “But it’s sugar-free,” replied one of the boys. That sealed the deal. The boys walked off happily into the cinema holding their drinks.
In an era when sugar is widely seen as enemy No.1, sugar-free drinks and treats, sweetened with low-calorie additives (添加剂), become well-liked and promise guilt-free sweetness. Some people deliberately choose low-sugar options in the hope of losing weight or managing diabetes; others just enjoy the taste.
But even if you aren’t seeking them out, it’s hard to avoid artificial sweeteners. In 2021, researchers looked at foods for sale in Hong Kong and found that sweeteners were present not just in products where you would expect them, such as sugarless chewing gum, but also in salad dressings, breads, instant noodles and many crisps.
They have become such a common part of our diet that environmental scientists have started looking for traces of them-particularly acesulfame potassium, which passes through the body largely undigested — as a marker for human waste in lakes and rivers.
The rise of sweeteners is, in part, a sign of the spectacular success of sugar taxes, which have been introduced in more than 40 countries since 2010. In the UK, the soft drinks industry tax was announced in 2016 and fully carried out in 2018, as part of a plan to “tackle childhood obesity”. The tax charged manufacturers 24p a litre for any drink with 8g or more of added sugar per 100ml. Almost all the major soft drinks brands in the UK cut the sugar content of their products and replaced the missing sweetness with some kind of artificial alternative. “Original” Coca-Cola and “blue” Pepsi were among the few drinks to keep their recipes the same. Once they became more expensive, compared to the sugar-free alternatives, their sales fell.
28. What made sugar-free drinks and treats popular
A. The public’s pursuit of health.
B. The taste of low-calorie additives.
C. People’s promise to manage diabetes.
D. Parents’ expectation of guilt-free sweetness.
29. Why is it hard to avoid artificial sweeteners
A. Because they are present in every food product.
B. Because they can be found in the environment.
C. Because they are widely used in our diet.
D. Because they are part of a plan to deal with obesity.
30. What did drink manufacturers in the UK do with the sugar tax
A. Major soft drinks brands reduced their products’ sugar content.
B. Coca-Cola and Pepsi refused to change their recipes.
C. Nearly all big soft drinks brands turned to artificial sweeteners.
D. Drink companies lowered the price to raise their sales.
31. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Sugar, Enemy No.1.
B. The Rise of Artificial Sweeteners.
C. The Secret to Health: Low-calorie Additives.
D. Scientific Facts Behind Health.
D
Imagine walking into your local grocery store on a freezing January day to pick up freshly harvested lettuce, fragrant basil, juicy sweet strawberries, and ripe red tomatoes — all of which were harvested at a local farm only hours before you’d arrived. You might be imagining buying that fresh produce from vertical (垂直的) farms where farmers can grow indoors year-round by controlling light, temperature, water, and oftentimes carbon dioxide levels as well. Generally, fresh produce grown in vertical farms travels only a few miles to reach grocery store shelves compared to conventional produce, which can travel thousands of miles by truck or plane.
Beyond providing fresh local produce, vertical agriculture could help increase food production and expand agricultural operations as the world’s population is projected to be over 9 billion by 2050. And by that same year, two out of every three people are expected to live in urban areas. Producing fresh greens and vegetables close to these growing urban populations could help meet growing global food demands in an environmentally responsible and sustainable way by reducing delivery chains to offer lower emissions, providing higher-nutrient produce, and completely reducing water usage and runoff.
Recently, USDA and the Department of Energy held a workshop focused on vertical agriculture. At this workshop, field experts shared presentations followed by small group discussions focused on areas such as plant breeding, pest management, and engineering. Workshop attendees worked together to identify the challenges, needs, and opportunities for vertical farming. A report on this workshop will be released to help inform Departmental strategic planning efforts for research priorities at USDA and funding opportunities for researchers.
Vertical agriculture presents potential opportunities to address food security. That’s why USDA already has some of these funding and research chances in place. The National Institute for Food and Agriculture has funding opportunities that could support future vertical agriculture conferences and research. Similarly, the Agricultural Research Service is working on a project to increase U.S. tomato production and quality in greenhouses and other protected-environments.
32. What is the advantage of vertical farms
A. Delivery chains can be extended.
B. Food yield can be increased.
C. Fresh produce can be sold by consumers.
D. Produce can travel long distance by truck or plane.
33. What does the underlined words “projected” mean in paragraph 2
A. suspected B. estimated C. proved D. displayed
34. What do we know about the workshop
A. A released report helps promote Departmental strategies.
B. Small group discussions concentrated on agricultural areas.
C. People attending the workshop shared presentations.
D. Researchers might benefit a lot from this workshop.
35. Why did USDA provide funding and research chances for vertical agriculture
A. To support future agricultural conferences.
B. To increase tomato production and quality.
C. To present potential chances to consumers.
D. To explore possibilities for food security.

If you’ve spent any time online in the first few weeks of 2023, you may have already picked up on the buzz surrounding ChatGPT. But what exactly is it 36
What is ChatGPT
ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence chatbot from OpenAI. It enables users to “converse” with it in a way that’s meant to copy natural conversation. 37 The easy-to-understand, easy-to-use, and free tool has already gained popularity as both an alternative to traditional search engines and as a tool for Al writing, among other things.
What does GPT stand for
38 While older AI chatbots could answer questions with detailed responses, ChatGPT uses a dialog format, which allows it to answer follow-up and clarifying questions, as well as recognize and reject inappropriate or dangerous requests (such as questions about illegal activity).
How to use ChatGPT to increase your work
39 Knowing how to effectively communicate with ChatGPT, or any generative AI model, is called prompt engineering. You can either include ChatGPT in your day-to-day work to conduct a research or to help you get started on a writing project while staring at a blank page.
40
ChatGPT uses natural language processing (NLP), an AI technology that deals with understanding, analyzing, and generating human-like language. It analyzes sample texts from the internet and conversations provided by real humans, and then ranks outputs based on the quality of the response. Providing occasional feedback from humans is a technique that can help fine-tune the output by improving both safety and reliability.
A. As a user, you can ask questions or make requests, and ChatGPT will respond.
B. ChatGPT has become a powerful tool to save time and energy.
C. In this article, you can find all you need to know about ChatGPT.
D. ChatGPT represents the future of all chatbots without doubt.
E. The “GPT” in ChatGPT is short for generative pre-trained transformer.
F. How does ChatGPT work
G. The technique to apply when using ChatGPT.

Seeing the United Parcel Truck pull into my driveway, I opened the garage door knowing that another package had arrived helping us with the Christmas in July Party we were putting together for the homeless children at a local charity.
As I stood watching the driver get the packages from the back of the truck, I saw Madison, my three-year-old granddaughter, picking weeds from the grassland. “These are for my mommy and daddy,” she replied, as she held out a hand full of worthless little weeds. I just smiled and nodded my head as I considered them not worth paying attention to.
The UPT driver walked into the garage and put the two packages down on the wooden bench. He and I stood talking about the numerous baseball gloves, baseball bats, helmets and baseballs sitting about the room. I told him I had been raised in a Jacksonville, Florida orphanage and that during my entire childhood I never once owned anything of my own. And that’s why I prepared these presents for the homeless children who would value these presents a lot.
After talking for a few minutes, the driver told me he had to leave. He waved and began walking back down the driveway. I turned around, locked garage door and began walking up onto the front porch (门廊). Just as I closed the gate, Madison came running up to where I was standing.
“My flowers, my flowers,” she screamed aloud. I soon realized that I had locked her weeds in the garage.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“We’ll get them later,” I told her. I turned around, walked back to the end of the porch and opened the gate.

Good afternoon!
I am Lihua. Welcome to our school! I’m privileged to share with you a traditional Chinese dish - Jiaozi, which symbolizes wealth and fortune when they are eaten on Chinese New Year’s Eve.
Featuring in diverse cooking methods, such as boiling, steaming and frying, they are one of people’s favourite dishes. The boiled dumplings are the most common ones. To make them, first, mince the meat, chop the Chinese cabbage into small pieces and mix them together as stuffing. Then fill the dumpling wrappers with the stuffing, fold the edges and press them together. The last step is to boil them in warm water. What matters most is to add water three times until they float to the surface.
Boiled dumplings taste best when served with vinegar. Now let’s have a bite!
读后续写
“We’ll get them later,” I told her. I just did not think a bunch of worthless weeds worth walking back down the stairs for. Putting my hand onto her small shoulder, I began persuading her to go back into the house. She stood there with tears welling up in her eyes. “I specially picked those flowers for mommy and daddy,” she sobbed. On seeing the little figure trembling, I did not have the heart to ignore her anymore. I sighed and decided to open the garage door just to stop her from crying.
I turned around, walked back to the end of the porch and opened the gate. No sooner had I unlocked the door than Madison ran past me, wearing a shining smile on her face. She couldn’t wait to grab the little treasures she had picked moments before. “Thank you, grandma. I love you! ” she beamed at me. All of a sudden, I realized what was worthless in my eyes might be precious for her. I knelt down, looked through the green, now lifeless weeds and smiled as I saw the beauty of a dozen beautiful red roses reflecting in her eyes. As is often the case, something valueless to adults means a lot to children.
【阅读答案】
A篇
21. A 细节理解题。根据“nautical theme”和“coasts”可以得出A选项。
22. D 细节理解题。Ferrari有the fastest roller coaster，选D。该公园是car and thrill lover必去的公园，但不能说明公园的大多数游客都是car and thrill lover，所以C不对。
23. C 推理判断题。文章介绍了除Disney和Universal（环球影城）以外的一些很有名的地区性的主题公园，因此目标读者应该是distinctive（有特色的）theme park seeker，所以C。D选项的only不对。B选项staycation“居家度假”。
B篇
24. B 细节理解题。第一段中介绍新年传统是“新年当天从里到外穿新衣，是红色就更好了。”第二段说本命年新年传统变为“本命年必须每一天内衣穿红色”。题目问的是“新年传统是什么？”，因此选B。注意D选项中的superstition指的就是“每天穿红色内衣”。
25. D 推理判断。前文作者认为“本命年每天穿红色内衣是荒唐的”，因此提父母没有把这个传统传下来是为自己没有本命年每天穿红色内衣找的理由，即D选项，justify（为……正名）。注意第二段的第一句话有the extended tradition的定义。
26. B 细节理解。根据第三段的中“I have always adopted and adapted what comes from my birthplace...but for me, for now, this shared tradition strengthens my bond with my culture.”可知“我原来总是采纳、适应来自我出生地的传统（即我不会全盘照搬）...现在对于我来说，本命年每日穿红内衣的这个传统加强了我和我的文化的纽带”，因此作者态度改变是因为这个传统的作用（即加强纽带）。
27. C 推理判断题。由文章最后两段可知作者对于本命年穿红色内衣的态度改变了，开始接纳这一传统，因此在她即将到达第四个本命年的时候，她可能会买红色内衣来穿，即C选项。
C篇
28. A 细节理解题。第二段“Some people deliberately choose low-sugar options in the hope of losing weight or managing diabetes; others just enjoy the taste”可知，无糖可乐变得流行是因为人们追求健康或喜欢这和口味，所以选A。
29. C 细节理解题。由第三段、第四段可知，甜味剂sweeteners在很多种食物中都存在（sweeteners were present not just in products where you would expect them），并且成为了日常饮食很常见的部分（They have become such a common part of our diet），因此选C。
30. C 细节理解题。从最后一段“Almost all the major soft drinks brands in the UK cut the sugar content of their products and replaced the missing sweetness with some kind of artificial alternative”可知，几乎所有的大型公司用人工替代品/甜味剂代替了削减掉的糖。
31. B 主旨要义题。文章主题为人工甜味剂，从无糖饮料的流行入手，讲述了甜味剂被广泛使用的现象和原因。
D篇
32. B 细节理解题。文章第一段讲的是垂直农业的运输优势，第二段的第一句讲的是provide fresh local produce, increase food production and expand agricultural operations，因此选B。
33. B 词义猜测题。人口预估会超过9 billion，A怀疑，C证明。
34. D 细节理解题。第三段最后一句“关于这个研习会的报告将会被公布，以帮助告知（农业）部在战略计划（strategic planning）上的努力，这些战略计划是针对美国农业部研究重点（research priorities）与研究者的资金补助（funding opportunities）”，因此选D。
35. D 推理判断题。由最后一段的前两句可知，USDA提供资助与研究机会是为了解决food security。
【七选五答案】 36-40.CAEBF
36. C 文章体裁为说明文，作为第一段的段尾句回答前句的内容并且总结下文内容。
37. A 解释前句“ChatGPT是模仿自然状态下的对话”，用户只需要跟ChatGPT对话就可以了。
38. E 下一段段首“GPT in ChatGPT is short for...”对应标题中的“stand for”，注意D选项的主语是ChatGPT不是GPT。
39. B 小标题说increase your work对应ChatGPT是一个强有力的节省时间精力的工具。
40. F 下一段主要内容是说ChatGPT使用NLP技术，分析sample texts和conversations。使用者提供feedback可以帮助微调输出。使用这个（反馈）技巧是how to use的一部分内容，非全部。

41. C 在这个小渔村每周都有很多渔船和游览的船只靠岸/着陆，用land。park指车辆停靠。
42. A The Seafood Shack（海鲜棚屋）是一个餐厅，因此餐厅每天的计划都是基于渔民每天能放下什么（海鲜），用be based on。
43. B 解析同42题，whatever Josh’s fishing boat has dropped off。倒数第二段的第一句能够看到同样的表达。
44. B 每天我们都会有一些讨论discussion，比如应该进什么海鲜。
45. D 但是情况总是在变changing，我们也不确定早上到底有什么样的海鲜被带给我们。
46. A 我们的贝类潜水员（卖贝类的贩子）randomly appear on any given day会在任意一天很随机地出现。randomly随机地，无规律地。casually随便地，不正式地。
47. C 他说：“我捕到了一些贝类”，一个小时之类，贝类就会出现在菜单menu上。此处注意不是table，我们（餐厅老板）采购了食材来决定今日的菜单，不是食材一买回来就做好了端桌上。
48. C Though表示转折，shellfish diver很很随性，但是fish dealer是一个很有计划性/规划/条理organised的人。

Good afternoon!
I am Lihua. Welcome to our school! I’m privileged to share with you a traditional Chinese dish - Jiaozi, which symbolizes wealth and fortune when they are eaten on Chinese New Year’s Eve.
Featuring in diverse cooking methods, such as boiling, steaming and frying, they are one of people’s favourite dishes. The boiled dumplings are the most common ones. To make them, first, mince the meat, chop the Chinese cabbage into small pieces and mix them together as stuffing. Then fill the dumpling wrappers with the stuffing, fold the edges and press them together. The last step is to boil them in warm water. What matters most is to add water three times until they float to the surface.
Boiled dumplings taste best when served with vinegar. Now let’s have a bite!

“We’ll get them later,” I told her. I just did not think a bunch of worthless weeds worth walking back down the stairs for. Putting my hand onto her small shoulder, I began persuading her to go back into the house. She stood there with tears welling up in her eyes. “I specially picked those flowers for mommy and daddy,” she sobbed. On seeing the little figure trembling, I did not have the heart to ignore her anymore. I sighed and decided to open the garage door just to stop her from crying.
I turned around, walked back to the end of the porch and opened the gate. No sooner had I unlocked the door than Madison ran past me, wearing a shining smile on her face. She couldn’t wait to grab the little treasures she had picked moments before. “Thank you, grandma. I love you! ” she beamed at me. All of a sudden, I realized what was worthless in my eyes might be precious for her. I knelt down, looked through the green, now lifeless weeds and smiled as I saw the beauty of a dozen beautiful red roses reflecting in her eyes. As is often the case, something valueless to adults means a lot to children.

W: From LOL to OMG, these are the texting initial words Americans can’t get enough of. These words are made up of the first letters of the words in a phrase, which makes it easier to use. My friends always talk to me with these special words, so I have to learn their meanings in order to use them regularly. They make our conversations more interesting, too. Sometimes my friends create new initial words, so I need to guess what they mean. Recently, I learned from a study on the app WordTips that the initialism for Laugh out loud”- LOL was the most common in the nation. TBH, which stands for “to be honest”, was the most popular in 7 states-Washington, Oregon, Minnesota, New Mexico, Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana. Some other findings of this WordTips study include statistics like which state’s texting initial words are used the most. In this category, Georgia swept the competition. In contrast, people in Idaho used the smallest number of initial words out of all 50 states. Besides the US, where I was born, I know people in other countries, like France and China, also use the texting initial words. But we should know these special words can only be used informally. It is rude if we use them in formal situations. For example, we hardly see initial words in the official news or letters.
