A series of trains between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day add extra fun, especially for families. Here are four holiday trips to celebrate the season. All aboard!
Cascade Canyon Winter Train
This memorable five-hour steam (蒸汽) train ride takes passengers through the snowy ops of the Rockies and remote wilderness of San Juan National Forest. Enjoy a fireside lunch or a hike along the picture-like Animus River during your hour-long stop.
Aurora Winter Train
This seasonal train heads north from Anchorage to Denali, America’s highest mountain. You can stop after three hours at Talkeetna to ski down the mountain or continue on for another nine hours to Fairbanks for some breathtaking northern lights viewing. Trains leave every Saturday morning, with return trips every Sunday.
Amtrak California Zephyr
Long-distance train trippers love the Zephyr in any season, but winter adds the attraction of pretty snow outside the window as you go over the Rockies. Departing daily all winter from both Chicago and San Francisco, the 51-hour journey offers hotel-level service in a bedroom with a private bathroom and shower. Or, break up the trip with stops to sleep and ski in Denver or Salt Lake City.
The Polar Express
The Polar Express, a Caldecott Medal-winning children’s book and Tom Hanks’ movie, is re-created in 40 Polar Express rides in 24 states, putting more than a million annual passengers in train seats. The story is read and performed by onboard actors, while Santa and dancing chefs who serve hot chocolate and treats add to the fun on the way to the “North Pole”. Most of the rides will take you to scenic places like the Grand Canyon, Mount Rainier, and the Catskills.

Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin began to declare very strange plans every April Fool’s Day not long after starting their company more than a quarter century ago. One year, they posted a job opening for a Copernicus research center on the moon. Usually, their ideas were so absurd that people learned to laugh them off as another example of joke. That’s how their plan about Gmail was received when it was made public 20 years ago on April Fool’s Day.
They said it would be a free email service that would store about 13,500 emails each account before running out of space, while the other webmail services run by Yahoo and Microsoft could store just 30 to 60 emails. Besides the storage, they declared, Gmail would be equipped with Google’s search technology so users could quickly find an old email, photo or other personal information stored on the service. It would also automatically string together all of the communications about the same topic so they could be read as if it was a single conversation.
It was such a surprising concept that shortly after The Associated Press published a story about Gmail late on the afternoon of April Fool’s Day in 2004, readers began calling and emailing to inform the news agency that it had been fooled by the Google founders.
But The AP knew Google wasn’t joking about Gmail because an AP reporter had been invited to the company to see what they were working on. In his office, Page, then just 31 years old, showed the reporter how nicely Gmail operated. “I think people are really going to like this,” Page predicted.
As with so many other things, Page was right. Gmail now has more than 1.8 billion active accounts and has become the first building block in Google’s internet empire beyond its search engine. After Gmail came Google Maps and Google Docs with word processing applications. Then came the video site YouTube, followed by the introduction of the Android operating system that powers most of the world’s smartphones.
“That is part of the fun, making a product that people won’t believe is real,”said Marissa Mayer who helpedto design Gmail.
4. What does the word “absurd” underlined in paragraph 1 mean
A. Creative. B. Strange. C. Popular. D. Practical.
5. Compared with Gmail, the other webmail services _______.
A. could store less information B. were unsafe to store information
C. were more convenient to use D. could put all related mails together
6. Why did The AP decide to publish the Gmail story on April Fool’s Day in 2004
A. It was fooled by Page and Brin. B. It wanted to play a joke on the public.
C. It had accepted money from Google. D. It was sure the surprising story was true.
7. Which application came out first
A. Gmail. B. Google Maps. C. Google search. D. Google Docs.
C
Highly emotional music causes networks in the brain to release dopamine. This brain chemical plays a role in feelings of pleasure. It also turns on the brain’s motor network that makes us want to move. That physical response to a strong beat can be used to help people with brain-related disorders, research has shown. It aids their ability to time their body’s movements, which can help them with speech issues or trouble moving around.
Olivia Brancatisano, a researcher at Bond University in Robina, Australia, studies music and aging. She found that music can offer a number of benefits, from movement and emotion to communication and thinking. That led her to find music-based therapies (治疗) that might aid people who struggle in these areas.
Older people who have dementia (痴呆) may struggle to remember things. But they did better on mental (精神的) tasks while listening to music they knew and enjoyed. The selected music had to be highly emotional and personal, Brancatisano notes, Listening brought back memories and improved their attention. Since then, she has developed the Music Mind and Movement program for people with dementia.
Music helps young people, too. International students in Australia took part in a recent study at the University of Queensland in St, Lucia. Students may often feel lonely while far from home. Those in the Tuned In program, however, learned to better manage their anxiety using music. They also got better at identifying their emotions. That helped them take action when they were struggling.
The benefits of music seem to cover people of all ages. “We use it to meet basic human needs and to improve our emotional states,” says Brancatisano, “Now, more than ever, we have the ability to engage in music in a variety of ways. We can use it as a tool in everyday life to energize and comfort us.”
8. What is the purpose of the Music Mind and Movement program
A. To help students keep their spirits up.
B. To remind us to run as often as possible.
C. To benefit old people with a mental illness.
D. To show patients how to forget bad memories.
9. How did music affect the international students in the study
A. They felt more anxious in class. B. They tended to be less homesick.
C. They worked together to write music. D. They developed a popular music app.
10. What does Brancatisano suggest in the last paragraph
A. It’s a good practice to listen to music.
B. We struggle to meet our basic needs.
C. Music enables us to remain young.
D. There are plentiful free songs online.
11. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Classical Music Is People’s Top Choice
B. Happiness Is the Medicine of Daily Life
C. Both Physical and Mental Health Matters
D. Music Can Improve Our Overall Health
D
Stonehenge is hiding a secret: the source of one of its stones.
Researchers know that the prehistoric circle’s outer stones come from nearby areas in England. But even after a century of study, the Altar Stone near the center of Stonehenge remains difficult to understand.
The Altar Stone belongs to a group of Stonehenge building blocks known as the bluestones, which came from areas far from Stonehenge. Researchers have found that some of the bluestones come from as far as 225 kilometers away.
“It’s a massive job of transport,” says Richard Bevins, an earth scientist at Aberystwyth University in Wales. His team is looking for the source of the Altar Stone. Uncovering the stone’s origins could suggest which ancient groups of people contributed to the building.
Scientists have been working to find the rock’s origins since 1923. A report about the Altar Stone’s minerals back then suggested it might have come from a set of rocks in Wales near where other bluestones cane from. Bevins’ team decided to revisit the rock’s riddle with modern techniques.
In 2021, the team analyzed (分析) the Altar Stone’s chemical makeup using X-rays. The X-ray method showed that the Altar Stone has high levels of the element barium (钡). But the stone’s makeup didn’t seem to match the rocks in Wales.
In the new study, the team collected 58 samples (样本) from a wider area in England and Wales. Of the 58 sample stones, four had high barium levels similar to the Altar Stone. The team then compared the overall mineral makeup of those four stones with the Altar Stone. But none were a match.
“Maybe we’ve been looking in the wrong area, and maybe we’ve possibly been looking at rocks of the wrong age,” Bevins says, “It’s not clear exactly how old the Altar Stone is.” So scientists may need to consider stone sources that are younger than the ones they have looked at so far.
12. Where do the outer stones of Stonehenge come from
A. Wales, B. Scotland. C. Ireland. D. England.
13. What does paragraph 7 mainly tell us about the new study
A. Its sample. B. Its finding. C. Its preparation. D. Its application.
14. What will Bevins’ team probably do in the follow-up study
A. Date the Altar Stone. B. Make the 1923 report public.
C. Sell the sample stones. D. Move their office to the UK.
15. What can we learn about the Altar Stone
A. It looks pretty young. B. It was built by the locals,.
C. Its origin remains unknown. D. Its makeup is the same as others’.

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。
I always think of my mother as a superhero, because she never runs out of room in her heart for anyone or anything.
I could write about all of the wonderful things she has done, but I want to focus on one project she does every year that has shaped my whole family and everyone around us: She saves money, and she puts it in a little jar (罐子) that we refer to as “The Charity Jar”. Every year, she takes this money and puts it toward something—an act of kindness, anything that can help someone. Sometimes, she buys something for an organization that needs it.
If you ask her about this tradition, she will tell you that she is carrying on something that her mother used to do around the holidays. If you ask anyone else who knows her, however, they will tell you that she has a huge heart. She manages to get our whole family involved (参与) in this movement every year. Last year, she helped an organization where I volunteered—Ruth’s Place—a homeless women’s shelter in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.
I had been helping a professor run a writing workshop in the shelter when I noticed the wish list on the wall: warm clothes, a coffee maker and supplies. I told my mom, and within a day, she had already asked if our family wanted to help Ruth’s Place. We all agreed and decided that the coffee maker and supplies would be the best things for our family to work on together.
A few days later, Mom found a coffee maker online, and showed it to us. With a few clicks, it was on its way. She also baked(烘焙) fresh chocolate cupcakes for the women in the shelter. We gathered the rest of the supplies and called the shelter to find a day when we could deliver them.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
That day I drove my mom to the shelter very slowly. _______________________________________________________________________

Wildlife in Danger
Dear fellow students,
The earth is home to numerous species, each playing a vital role in maintaining the balance of our ecosystem. Sadly, human activities such as habitat destruction, poaching and pollution have pushed countless animal species towards the brink of extinction.
It is time for us to take immediate action to reverse this alarming trend. First, we can increase people’s awareness of wildlife conservation through handing out leaflets. Second, we can demand stricter laws against illegal poaching. Finally, we need to call for clean natural habitats for wildlife.
Let’s start to protect the wildlife hand in hand from now on.

【答案】
That day I drove my mom to the shelter very slowly. The anticipation of the women’s reactions to our gifts filled the car with a sense of warmth and purpose. As we arrived at the shelter, we were greeted by the grateful faces of the women. My mom, with her usual grace and humility, began to distribute the supplies we had brought. The coffee maker was received with cheers of joy, and the sight of fresh, homemade cupcakes brought smiles to their faces.
As we left, we were met with heartfelt thanks. The women at the shelter expressed their gratitude with warm hugs and words of appreciation. Their smiles were the best reward we could have asked for. As we drove away, my mom looked at me with a satisfied smile on her face. That day, I learned more than ever about the power of kindness and the difference one person can make. I realized that my mom, with her Charity Jar, was not just a superhero to me, but to everyone she touched with her acts of kindness.
