From coastlines to bustling big cities, the United States is home to countless diverse destinations, making it tough to judge which ones deserve to be labeled the most worthy places to visit in the USA. Therefore, U.S. News takes numerous factors into account, ranging from scenic attractions and dining options to travelers’ votes, to select and rank the nation’s top visiting spots.
Grand Canyon National Park
Grand Canyon National Park, a world-famous bucket-list destination, boasts splendid hiking trails and breathtaking views.

Maui
Maui wins travelers’ hearts with idyllic beaches and thick green landscapes. Visitors can enjoy coastal driving, snorkeling or relaxing on special black-sand beaches. Watching the sunrise at Haleakalā National Park is an extraordinary experience. Besides, tasting local seafood and typical Hawaiian desserts is also an essential part of the trip.
Honolulu-Oahu
Honolulu-Oahu offers a perfect mix of urban lifestyle and seaside scenery. Although Waikiki Beach is extremely popular and always packed, some quieter beaches can serve as ideal choices for travelers longing for peace. Additionally, visitors can explore historic naval memorials to learn about local history before ending their journey.

Guangzhou — My grandmother’s universe was tiny—a little apartment floating above the noisy wet market, where the air always smelled of fish and fresh dough. I showed up just twice a year, like a guest who never really stayed. But every morning, without fail, I’d wake to the gentle tap-tap-tap of her spoon against that old pot. A quiet bowl of congee (白粥) would be waiting, steam rising like soft whispers in the hazy light.
At thirteen, I treated my English like a superpower. But my broken Cantonese It stumbled and cracked—each word feeling like I was letting part of her go. When she asked, “Did you sleep well ” I answered in English, “Yes, thanks.” She would smile, push the bowl closer and say, “Eat while it’s hot.” That one word hot was the only anchor I had in a language that felt like home — yet couldn’t fully hold me.
Years rolled by. I won speech contests, obtained a British passport and began to call London “home”. The more I built myself there, the more I forgot her world behind me. When university acceptance came, I zipped my suitcase shut—my heart already flying over oceans. The night before I left, she slipped into my room and pressed a lunch box into my backpack. “For the journey,” she said in Cantonese. I nodded politely, giving a distracted smile, already miles away. It wasn’t until I was mid-air, floating between two worlds, that I opened it. Congee, was cool but still sweet-smelling, and under the lid, were written four characters neatly: “归来平安”
I never saw her again.
Today, whenever I smell rice boiling in an empty London kitchen, the market noise returns—the clatter of spoons, the crack of chopsticks, the woman who offered love without a shared language. My passport gives me borders; the congee erases them. I have learned that identity is not a label to choose, but a story to taste—one spoonful at a time. Even it’s like a voice that says, “You’re from here, too.”
24. What first reminded the author of her grandmother each morning
A. The smell of fresh dough. B. The noise from the wet market.
C. The whispers of her grandmother. D. The sound of her grandma’s spoon.
25. How did the writer feel about her Cantonese in her early teens
A. Ashamed and distant. B. Confident and proud.
C. Ambitious and curious. D. Indifferent and bored.
26. What best describes Grandmother’s way of showing love
A. Giving expensive gifts. B. Teaching the author Chinese.
C. Preparing simple but considerate food. D. Encouraging the author to study abroad.
27. What does the author’s story convey
A. Blood is thicker than water. B. East or west, home is best.
C. True kindness will go a long way. D. A good beginning is half the battle.
C
Nearly 30% of U. S. children have a diagnosed allergy(过敏), suffering from symptoms such as hives, sneezing, or even life-threatening anaphylaxis. Large studies have confirmed that introducing potential food allergens within the first year of life significantly minimizes the danger of developing allergies later.
A decade ago, doctors recommended delaying common food allergens until after the first few years. This view changed in 2015 when the LEAP study provided strong evidence that introducing peanuts to infants(幼儿) around four months old can lower peanut allergy risk by up to 80%. Follow-up studies on eggs, cow’s milk, and multiple common allergens showed similar benefits. Today, experts strongly recommend early introduction. Priya Katari, a pediatric allergist, suggests introducing all common allergens—egg, milk, soy, wheat, peanut, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, and sesame—at four to six months of age, when the child can sit upright and swallow safely without choking.
This recommendation applies to most children, including those with a family history of allergies. However, there are two exceptions: children with severe eczema should be tested for allergies before food introduction, and children with a known egg allergy should be tested especially before trying peanut butter. Otherwise, serious reactions after first exposure are rare in infants under one year, though possible. Parents can start with a tiny amount, such as a quarter-teaspoon of thinned peanut butter, monitor for ten minutes, and then offer a full serving of two teaspoons.
Once introduced, the allergen must remain in the child’s diet regularly. Peanut currently has specific guidelines: two teaspoons three times a week. Experts agree that just a taste may not build tolerance; taking them at a regular basis is essential. Parents need not worry about exact amounts but should ensure a varied diet including fruits, vegetables, and protein. As Martha Hartz from Mayo Clinic advises, “Whenever you introduce solid food, go ahead and introduce whatever your family eats.”
28. What can be inferred about the LEAP study
A. It suggested delaying all allergens. B. It focused mainly on eggs and milk.
C. It overturned previous medical advice. D. It was the first study on food allergies.
29. Which group needs allergy tests before food introduction
A. Children with family allergy history.
B. Children already exposed to peanuts.
C. Children who can sit upright and swallow.
D. Children with severe eczema or egg allergy.
30. What do experts suggest about maintaining tolerance
A. Regular exposure is vital. B. Exact amounts matter most.
C. A single taste is enough for life. D. Peanut butter should be avoided.
31. What does the text mainly talk about
A. Infants should avoid peanuts until age three.
B. Early introduction reduces the risks of allergies.
C. Delaying allergens until after the first year is advised.
D. Allergy tests are required for children before solid foods.
D
The Nobel Prize economist, Philip Agion offered us his unique insights into artificial intelligence (AI) in the book Creative Destruction.
The rise of AI has given new meaning to the idea that capitalism renews itself through “creative destruction”—replacing outdated technologies with new ones, however cruel the process. Since the industrial age began in the mid-18th century, each wave of invention has followed this pattern. But now machines can think and learn, making potential economic disruption(扰乱) far greater than ever before.
Ideally, policymakers would have time to ease the transition. Businesses tend to change their working practices relatively slowly, which gives governments space to adjust. However, current conditions are unfavorable. Global growth was weak and jobs were hard to find. The regional conflicts and wars have worsened matters. When this bad situation is combined with new labour-saving technology, it creates a dangerous mix that could destroy jobs rapidly on a large scale.
AI optimists point to history: every past technological wave created more jobs than it destroyed. But two potential problems arise, the author notes. First, there is no guarantee that history will repeat itself—AI may prove more transformative and disruptive than ever before. Second, the jobs destroyed by AI might be better paid than those created. In the past, machines freed humans to do more creative tasks; this time, machines might do the clever work, leaving humans with boring and badly-paid jobs.
A research report envisions an AI-driven crisis by 2028. Automation wipes out well-paid jobs, reducing consumer spending power. Still, machines can work 24 hours a day without holidays or sick days, but they do not buy cars or drinks. So while each company benefits from adopting AI, economy-wide demand drops. That causes cost-cutting, more automation, and fresh layoffs. This doom loop could eventually lead to a stock market crash. The countries quickest to embrace AI, such as the United States, would be most fragile.
The author concludes that the outcome depends on whether AI helps humans do their jobs better or makes them abandoned. In the first case, optimists are right; in the second, they are totally wrong.
32. What does the author say about AI compared to past inventions
A. It follows exactly the same pattern. B. It causes less economic disruption.
C. It has greater destructive potential. D. It has created more jobs than before.
33. Why does the author doubt the optimists’ historical argument
A. Wars always block progress. B. AI may be more transformative.
C. Governments lack management skills. D. Past technologies were less advanced.
34. What does the underlined words “doom loop” in paragraph 5 refer to
A. Rapid job creation. B. An error on AI system.
C. Job loss and falling demand. D. A government rescue plan.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Past Inventions’ Job Creation
B. The unavoidable AI Doom Loop
C. Governments’ Easing of AI Transition
D. AI’s more destructive Creative Destruction

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Jordan had always considered himself responsible. He kept track of his assignments, turned in homework on time and rarely got into trouble. Teachers praised him for being reliable, and his classmates trusted him. That was why he felt confident when his history teacher announced a group research project that would last for several weeks. Without hesitation, Jordan volunteered to be the leader of his group, and certainly he could manage the task.
At first, everything went smoothly. Jordan divided the work clearly and wrote down each person’s role. He promised to send reminders before deadlines and keep everyone updated if anything changed. His classmates seemed relieved to have someone organized in charge. Jordan noticed their reactions and felt quietly proud. Being trusted made him feel capable.
One afternoon, however, things began to go wrong. Jordan received an email from his teacher with updated instructions for the project, including a change to the final deadline. He opened it on his phone while walking home. Several students passed by, talking about other assignments. Jordan read the message quickly, told himself he would deal with it later and put the phone into his pocket.
After dinner that evening, Jordan first helped his younger sister with her homework. By the time he sat down at his desk, he had forgotten the email. The next day at school, his group met to discuss progress, still unaware of the new deadline. Jordan realized his mistake only when the teacher mentioned the updated date in class. It had been moved up by a week. His stomach tightened. He glanced at his group members, who exchanged confused looks. No one said anything, but Jordan sensed their concern. The responsibility he had once felt proud of now felt heavy. For the rest of the day, Jordan avoided his group members. He considered explaining that he had not seen the email at the next group meeting. After all, no one could prove he had.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
That night, Jordan could not focus on his studies.
Soon, he received messages from the other group members.

Ranking My Career Choice Essentials
When choosing a career, I rank interest and passion first, followed by salary and self-development, and social recognition last.
Passion drives us to stick to jobs and overcome difficulties. Good salary offers stable life and room for self-improvement. As for social praise, it’s just external praise and can’t support long-term career growth.
读后续写范文
That night, Jordan could not focus on his studies. Deep guilt washed over him for hiding his mistake. Instead of making excuses, he decided to take full responsibility. He typed a sincere apology message to all group members, admitting he had ignored the updated deadline and promising to take extra work to catch up.
Soon, he received messages from the other group members. Surprisingly, no one blamed him. They said everyone might make careless mistakes and they were willing to cooperate to finish the task ahead of time. Moved by their kindness, Jordan organized a group meeting the next day, dividing extra tasks fairly. This experience taught him true responsibility means facing mistakes bravely rather than escaping them.
