Beaches tend to be a warm weather affair, but that doesn’t mean they’re any less beautiful in winter. Ready to find your perfect winter beach vacation spot Here’s where Americans love heading when the temperatures drop.
San Clemente, CA
San Clemente is a winter bird hideaway thanks to its views, trails, and marine life. Winter is the prime time to spot migrating gray whales. It’s also a great time to avoid the high summer heat while exploring trails along the dramatic cliffs and wandering down the one-mile beach. RVers and campers are also welcome, as San Clemente has a highly rated campground right on the beach.
The Golden Isles, GA
Along with those moody beach days, visitors to the Golden Isles can also soak up unique celebrations and festivals during the cooler months. That includes a two-month-long treasure hunt on Jekyll Island, along with the Holly Jolly Jekyll light parade and the Brunswick Christmas Parade. If you like to travel with Fido, head to the Golden Isles — during fall and winter, dogs are allowed back on the beaches!
Key West, FL
Located right on the border with the tropics, Key West doesn’t necessarily slow down for winter. Still, you can find sunshine adventures across the Keys, from Higgs Beach to Bahia Honda State Park. While the water is definitely cooler, you can still dive underwater into a breathtaking coral (珊瑚) paradise and swim to play with the fish throughout the coldest winter months in many parts of the Keys.
Perdido Key, FL
Perdido Key is an unspoiled island that’s often labeled a hidden jewel on the Gulf Coast. It’s a protected island where you can spot sea turtles, shorebirds, and the Perdido Key beach mouse. If you want a more outdoorsy experience, you can take tours of Perdido Key State Park and even camp at the Perdido Key RV Resort & Marina.

In the summer of 2019, I accompanied my 75-year-old partner Alex to a memory disorders clinic. After failing a series of mental tests, Alex was diagnosed with dementia (痴呆). The nurse advised Alex to sort out his finances and told me, “You’ll simply have to do more.”
Indeed, my life became filled with endless care tasks — zipping Alex’s jacket, helping him shower, and making all decisions for him. When I tried to search a Medicaid program for help, I hit one difficulty after another. One program offered only one day of assistance per week. The other, which offered three days of help, insisted that Alex could never be outside alone, a condition I refused to accept. I can’t decide which one to pick.
I emailed my physician friend Rachel for advice, and her response was this: “It sounds like you’re living in the land of bad choices.” Reading it, I felt as if my brain had been rearranged, to allow me to see the situation in a different way. Instead of chasing the “best” option, I only needed to pick the “least bad” one, which made decision-making easier.
I picked the three day care program. But Alex soon fell seriously ill and couldn’t care for himself; he was sent to a recovery facility an hour away — this farther one with trained staff was the better bad choice. A COVID outbreak followed, infecting Alex; the facility couldn’t treat him, and I had only 15 minutes to decide whether to send him to the hospital. I chose quickly. I was with him when he died there the next afternoon.
Three years later, when talking to those caring for dementia patients, I never tell them to “do more”. Instead, I pass on Rachel’s words. This shift in perspective, though simple, is truly helpful for anyone stuck in the land of bad choices.
4. What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph mean
A．More mental tests would be needed.
B．Alex would need full attention.
C．Further treatment would be refused to offer.
D．Medicaid program should be sought.
5. What do we know about the Medicaid programs
A．They had trained staff.

C．They were not fully satisfying.
D．They provided sufficient help.
6. How did the author probably feel after reading Rachel’s email

B．Relieved.
C．Confused.
D．Delighted.
7. What can we learn from this passage
A．Many hands make light work.
B．The least bad may be the best.
C．Every cloud has a silver lining.
D．Out of the frying pan into the fire.
C
In the past decade Google searches for “solo travel” have more than doubled. In Britain the share of travellers going on holiday by themselves has nearly tripled, says the Association of British Travel Agents, from 6% in 2011 to 17% in 2024. Why are so many people travelling alone
Just as Grand Tours became a ceremony for young noblemen, solo travel today is less about finding distant places than finding yourself. Hilton, a hospitality company, calls the trend “me-mooning” which is opposed to “honeymooning”. Meanwhile, those not searching for themselves are looking for an adventure. People “travel not to go anywhere, but to go”, as Robert Louis Stevenson, the author of Treasure Island, put it. Solo travellers describe the thrill of doing whatever they want, whenever they want. Research has shown that self-driven solitude can boost creativity and well-being.
And, rather than hanging out with the mates they have, many travel alone in order to meet new friends and lovers. The isolation of the pandemic made people “more open” to wandering with strangers, says Lee Thompson of Flash Pack, a tour operator. The firm, which uses the slogan “arrive solo, leave as friends”, now takes twice as many bookings as it did before Covid-19. Millennials and Gen Z are particularly keen on travelling: they spend a larger share of their income on trips than their older peers do. Many are postponing getting married and having children, so have the flexibility to head off on trip when they please.
On TikTok influencers advocate the virtues of independent travelling: “Stop waiting for someone to join you.” Women, in particular, are welcoming that trend. By one estimate, 84% of solo travellers are female. A century ago women were warned not to travel without a male companion; today many say they are not afraid to travel unaccompanied. Women today have the competence, and the time, to follow their feet.
8. What does “me-mooning” refer to
A．Remote destination exploration.
B．Group-focused adventures.
C．Solo travel for self-discovery.
D．Honeymoon for couples.
9. Why do some people travel alone according to Flash Pack
A．To boost their creativity and well-being.
B．To form new friendships and relationships.
C．To avoid the spread of pandemic.
D．To escape from their daily routines.
10. What can we know about Millennial and Gen Z tourists
A．They have flexible time and bigger budget for trips.
B．They are keen on travelling with mates.
C．They prioritize marriage and family over travel.
D．They behave like older generation.
11. What can we infer from last paragraph
A．Women are still unwilling to travel alone.
B．Most females prefer travelling accompanied by men.
C．Women face multiple challenges when travelling alone.
D．Women are embracing solo travel despite historical restrictions.
D
China’s space technology team has made an important breakthrough in combining AI and space technology. The self developed geographic information platform MerakGIS, created by the Hangzhou Center of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, has built a new intelligent system for space-air information processing. This system has caught wide attention from experts and people in the industry since it was released last month.
This platform creatively combines large language models with agent technology, shifting the traditional “human-computer interaction” mode to a more effective “human-machine cooperation” one. Users can simply input their questions or requirements, and the system intelligently explains complicated satellite pictures, combines diverse spatial (空间的) datasets, and does advanced studies. Now, users can complete satellite image interpretation, space data combining, and smart checking directly by using natural language instructions. This makes it much easier for non-experts to use. Even people with little technical training can use it easily and quickly.
To improve independent innovation, the team has worked together with Zhejiang University and Zhejiang Laboratory on technical research and achievement transformation. They have spent nearly two years solving key problems and testing the system again and again. Their continuous efforts focused on solving the problems of data working well together and making the AI algorithms (算法) better. At present, MerakGIS has been successfully used in the new energy field, providing stable spatial data services and management support for more than 1, 000 solar power stations across the country. It has helped these stations improve their work efficiency by about 30%.
This achievement combines high-precision “aerospace core” with intelligent “AI brain”, expanding the use of space-air information in strategic emerging industries and showing aerospace technology’s value in serving national economy and people’s livelihood. The team says they will keep improving MerakGIS and hope to apply it in more fields like agriculture and environmental protection in the future.
12. What is the primary purpose of creating MerakGIS
A．To develop new satellites.
B．To promote AI technology.
C．To attract worldwide experts.
D．To process space-air information.
13. Which is an innovation of the platform
A．It relies on satellite image analysis.
B．It cuts aerospace technology costs.
C．It operates through natural language.
D．It replaces human workers entirely.
14. What can be inferred about the platform’s development
A．It was finished within a month after being released.
B．It relied mainly on overseas labs for core technology.
C．It was tested once and applied immediately nationwide.
D．It took joint work to improve integration and algorithms.
15. Which of the following best describes the future of MerakGIS
A．Uncertain.
B．Profitable.
C．Doubtful.
D．Promising.

“What are you writing ”
Sighing, I slammed my notebook shut. My sister Bethany, two years older than me, is always poking her nose into my business. “Nothing,” I replied. I didn’t tell her I was entering a writing competition in case I didn’t win. Bethany is always winning at her dancing competitions, Mum has lots of bowling trophies (奖杯), and Dad is the top player at his golf club. I started ballet lessons when I was younger, but I was always facing the wrong way and bumping into (撞) everyone. I’m even worse at sport.
But I do love English at school, especially writing stories. Ms. Susan is my favorite teacher and she suggested I enter this competition. I felt a warm light when she said she thought my stories were excellent.
“Is it your secret diary ” Bethany yawned, opening the fridge. Mum arrived, loaded with shopping bags. “Who’s keeping a secret diary ” “Nobody. I’m keeping a notebook as I want to be a writer,” I said, annoyed.
Bethany snorted (哼), “Now she thinks she’s going to be the next Shakespeare.” “Our Maisie maybe will be a famous writer. All her teachers praise her composition,” Mum leapt to my defence.
“Ms. Susan says I should write about what I know, so you’d better watch out,” I told Bethany darkly. Bethany took a bottle of milk from the fridge and bounded (跳跃着跑) upstairs and yelled, “I don’t want to be in your stupid story!” “Ignore her,” Mum said. “Keep going with your story.”
Weeks passed, and the memory of the competition slowly faded beneath the busy rhythm of everyday life. Then one afternoon, as I was lazily scrolling through my e-mails, a notification (通知) from the competition organizers suddenly appeared.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

I read the e-mail 20 times before finally believing I succeeded.

Shopping in the Live Streaming Era
Nowadays, live-stream shopping is extremely popular among teenagers. Attracted by low prices and lively live shows, many of us tend to buy unnecessary goods blindly.
As far as I am concerned, we should keep rational when shopping online. We need to think twice before paying and develop healthy consumption habits. Never follow the trend to waste money.

I read the e-mail 20 times before finally believing I succeeded. I won the second prize in the writing competition. Filled with excitement, I shared the good news with my parents at once. They congratulated me warmly. Yet I was most eager to get my sister Bethany’s recognition. I handed my competition story to her nervously.
I held my breath as Bethany read my story, worried about her response. After a while, she raised her head and wore a gentle smile. She said she could feel the true feelings between us in the story and admitted she had been rude before. All the misunderstandings vanished. I truly understood that family love is the most precious thing in the world.
