The Most Popular National Parks in the US
Mount Rainier National Park
Located in Washington, Mount Rainier National Park is America’s fifth-oldest national park. Visit in the spring, and you’ll see waterfalls; come in the summer, and you’ll enjoy wildflowers; or arrive in the fall when the leaves put on a colorful show.
Joshua Tree National Park
Named for the trees native to the park, 1,200-square-mile Joshua Tree National Park in California is slightly larger than the state of Rhode Island. Much of the park is wilderness and includes parts of two deserts, the higher Mojave Desert and the lower Colorado Desert. There are 12 self-guided nature trails (小径), some as short as a half-mile, perfect for young children.
Bryce Canyon (峡谷) National Park
Despite its name, Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah is not a canyon at all. Instead, it is a collection of giant natural rocks up to 150 feet high. The red, orange and white colors of the rocks make for breathtaking views throughout the park. You can explore the rock formations on a scenic drive or up close and personally on a hike.
Grand Teton National Park
Located in Wyoming, Grand Teton National Park is home to various wildlife like bears, moose, otters and elk. There are several stand-out hiking trails. This park is connected to Yellowstone National Park by the John D. Rockefeller Jr. Memorial Parkway, so it’s incredibly easy to visit both parks in one trip.
21. Where is Joshua Tree National Park
A. In California. B. In Washington.
C. In Wyoming. D. In Utah.
22. What is Bryce Canyon National Park famous for

College professors these days face an ever - higher bar to draw the attention of their students, forced to compete with the smartphones and laptops in large lecture halls. But when your professor is a social media star, it’s a little bit easier. Tatiana Erukhimova, who teaches physics at Texas A & M University, has managed to get her students, as well as future generations, excited about the science.
Known as “Dr. Tatiana” to her students and online fan base, the professor performs physics tricks with endless energy and enthusiasm. Videos of her theatrical demonstrations have got hundreds of millions of views across social media platforms. In the kid - friendly videos, Erukhimova uses a range of everyday objects in her experiments, from pingpong balls and toilet paper to sweets, bicycle wheels and hair dryers. Her department’s online page has about 2.5 million subscribers.
It’s clear that she knows what it takes to get young people excited about a hard science. But it wasn’t always that way. When she first started teaching college freshman classes almost two decades ago, she struggled to attract the attention of her younger students. Fortunately, by the second semester, she found her footing, tweaking her approach to get her students interested in her classes.
She’s earned more than just recognition on social media. In October, she was honored with a national award for science outreach for leadership in bringing the excitement of physics through innovative education programs, including the well-attended annual TAMU Physics and Engineering Festival and the highly popular physics videos on social media.
As a leader in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) field in which women are underrepresented, she’s become a role model for some. Afiya Dhanani attended TAMU after seeing Erukhimova’s videos online. “Watching Dr. Tatiana do the experiments online, especially since she was a female leader, was more inspiring for me to even go into physics,” Dhanani said.
24. How does Tatiana make her students focus on her classes
A. By connecting abstract concepts with real life.
B. By stopping students bringing phones to class.
C. By adding interesting videos from the Internet.
D. By making herself approachable and easygoing.
25. What does the underlined word “tweaking” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Understanding. B. Continuing. C. Recording. D. Changing.
26. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Tatiana’s family life. B. Tatiana’s achievements.
C. Ways to celebrate festivals. D. Education programs in TAMU.
27. What does Dhanani want to tell us in the last paragraph
A. She wanted to become a role model. B. She inspired others to learn physics.
C. Tatiana has a positive impact on her. D. Tatiana has been very strict with her.
C
Climate change is stressing rainforests where the highly sensitive cocoa bean grows, but chocolate lovers need not despair, say companies that are researching other ways to grow cocoa or develop cocoa substitutes (替代品).
California Cultured, a plant cell culture company, is growing cocoa from cell cultures at a facility in West Sacramento, California, with plans to start selling its products next year. It puts cocoa bean cells and sugar water together so they reproduce quickly and reach maturity in a week rather than the six to eight months a traditional harvest takes, said Alan Perlstein, the company’s chief executive. The process also no longer requires as much water or labor.
The sales of chocolate candy around the world reached $ 238.5 billion in 2023, research website Statista reported. Sales in the United States alone reached more than $ 25 billion in 2023, the National Confectioners Association said. The price of cocoa rose quickly earlier this year because of demand and troubles with the crop in West Africa due to plant diseases and changes in weather. The region produces the most of the world’s cocoa.
The push to produce cocoa indoors in the US comes after other products, such as chicken meat, have already been grown in labs. It also comes as supermarket shelves fill with snack options — something that developers of cocoa alternatives say shows people are ready to try what looks and tastes like a chocolate chip cookie even if the chip contains a cocoa substitute.
While some are seeking to create alternative cocoa sources and substitutes, others are trying to improve the supply of cocoa where it naturally grows. Mars, which makes M& Ms and Snickers, has a research facility at University of California, Davis aimed at making cocoa plants more resilient so that they are able to recover more easily and quickly from unpleasant environments, said Joanna Hwu, the company’s senior director of cocoa plant science. The facility hosts a living collection of cocoa trees so scientists can study what makes them resistant to more diseases to help farmers in producing countries and ensure a stable supply of beans.
28. What can we say about products from California Cultured
A. They are produced at a quick speed. B. They have been on sale.
C. They require more labor to make. D. They contain no water.
29. What conclusion can we draw from paragraph 3
A. West Africa is facing an economic crisis.
B. The worldwide market for chocolate is huge.
C. The US produces the most cocoa in the world.
D. The supply of chocolate goes beyond its demand.
30. What does the author want to show by mentioning chicken meat
A. A reason for eating less chocolate. B. An inspiration for cocoa substitutes.
C. A method of keeping a balanced diet. D. A cause of picking more types of meat.
31. How does Mars deal with the challenge facing cocoa trees
A. By creating their alternatives. B. By growing them somewhere else.
C. By increasing their resistance. D. By planting them in large numbers.
D
Drinking some alcohol (酒) was once thought to have benefits for the heart, but better research methods have thrown cold water on that. “Drinking less is a great way to be healthier,” said Dr. Timothy Naimi, who directs the Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research at the University of Victoria in British Columbia.
Guidelines vary a lot from country to country but the overall trend is toward drinking less. The United Kingdom, France, Denmark, Holland and Australia recently reviewed new evidence and lowered their alcohol consumption recommendations. Ireland will require cancer warning labels on alcohol starting in 2026.
“People of my age are way more accepting of it,” said Tessa Weber, 28, of Austin, Texas. She stopped drinking this year because she’d noticed alcohol was increasing her anxiety. She liked the results — better sleep, more energy — and has stuck with it. “It’s good to reevaluate your relationship with alcohol,” Weber said.
How many drinks can you have per day That depends. Drinking raises the risk of several types of cancer, including colon, liver, breast and mouth and throat. Alcohol breaks down in the body into a substance called acetaldehyde, which can damage your cells and stop them from repairing themselves. That creates the conditions for cancer to grow.
“Thousands of US deaths per year could be prevented if people followed the government’s dietary guidelines, which advise men to limit themselves to two drinks or fewer per day and women to one drink or fewer per day,” Naimi said. One drink is the equivalent of about one12 - ounce (盎司) can of beer, a 5 - ounce glass of wine or a shot of liquor.
Naimi served on an advisory committee that wanted to lower the recommendation for men to one drink per day. That advice was considered and rejected when the federal recommendations came out in 2020. “The simple message that’s best supported by the evidence is that, if you drink, less is better when it comes to health,” Naimi said.
32. What is Tessa Weber’s attitude to the new guideline on alcohol drinking
A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Unconcerned. D. Unclear.
33. What do we know about acetaldehyde
A. It encourages people to drink less.
B. It benefits the repairs of heart cells.
C. It keeps alcohol from breaking down.
D. It contributes to the growth of cancer.
34. How much alcohol is a man recommended to drink at most per day by the US government
A. A 5-ounce glass of wine. B. A-6-ounce can of beer.
C. A 10-ounce glass of wine. D. A 12-ounce can of beer.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. New Research on Types of Cancer
B. Alcoholics Are on the Rise in the US
C. Risks and Benefits of Drinking Alcohol
D. Less Alcohol Is Better for Health

I was very active in sports and games when I was in primary school. I was good at the long jump and running. As a result, I was chosen to represent the school in the long jump and relay events at the District Sports Meet.
The event lasted two days. With no competitions for me on the first day, I cheered on my teammates and watched other athletes. Seeing our team do well in various events was encouraging. The successes of our team were not just victories; they were a source of inspiration. Each triumph (获胜) by our athletes was met with a round of applause and shouts of joy from our cheering section. Their achievements fueled my own motivation, and I could feel the excitement building within me. I was ready for my events.
On the second day, my long jump event was scheduled for the early afternoon. I felt confident, but when I got there I realized there were a lot of talented athletes. There was one young athlete in particular who jumped extremely far, wearing spikes (钉子鞋), making it harder for the rest of us. I was very nervous. At the end of the race, I tried my best, and although I jumped a good distance, I twisted (扭伤) my foot. I finished fourth, just missing out on a medal.
That was disappointing, but I reminded myself that we still had a chance in the 8×50 m relay, for which I was assigned to run the fifth leg. The race time arrived. We filed into our assigned spots and prepared for the race. After a tense minute or so, I heard the starter’s gun go off. When the first runners took off, I held my breath and watched our team runners keep up with the others. As they got closer, I realized we were at least in second place.
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。
My turn arrived, I nervously took the baton (接力棒) and began my run.

At last I lost the race, but when I got to the end, my team was there, still cheering me on.

My turn arrived, I nervously took the baton (接力棒) and began my run. I ran forward, giving it my all, but then I stumbled and fell down. I felt a quick pain and my heart sank. The race looked like it was getting away. The noise from the crowd disappeared as I struggled. But my friends’ calls for me to stand up cut through the silence. I saw the other runners moving fast, and I knew I had to keep going.
At last I lost the race, but when I got to the end, my team was there, still cheering me on. They were proud of my behavior instead of being disappointed, just as I was proud of my efforts. Even though I didn’t get a medal in the long jump or the relay, I showed I could keep going even when things were hard. I had faced challenges and pushed through, showing my courage. The applause from the crowd was a reward which meant more than any medal. The true victory is in the effort, not just the result.
