Visiting national parks in the winter reveals a different world of enchanted snow-coated landscapes and significantly fewer crowds. From the frost-covered trails of Acadia National Park in coastal Maine to the breathtaking peaks in Washington State, here are some of the best destinations for a winter getaway.
Denali National Park, Alaska
With its remote location and minimal light pollution, Denali National Park becomes a tranquil winter retreat. The aurora season, between September and April, is a perfect time to take photos of the northern lights. Winter activities include Denali’s famous snowshoeing trails, skiing, and dogsledding. February is especially popular for Winterfest, featuring races and outdoor celebrations.
Mount Rainier National Park, Washington State
One of America’s oldest national parks, Mount Rainier is a perfect winter playground for outdoor enthusiasts. Snowmobiling is allowed in certain areas, and the upper parking lot of Paradise Visitor Center provides a family-friendly space for sledding and snow sliding. After a day of adventure, travelers can warm up at the historic National Park Hotel, enjoying hearty meals and views of the icy peak.
Chaco Culture National Park, New Mexico
In northern New Mexico, Chaco Culture National Historical Park holds stone houses made by the Ancestral Puebloan from 850 and 1250 B.C. Accessible for most of the winter, the park can see fewer than 10 visitors a day in colder months. Those lucky few who do show up can enjoy quiet trails by day and stunning starry skies by night. Bring your camera — iconic landforms make striking photographs against a star-filled winter night.
1. Which park offers accommodations for travelers according to the text
A. Acadia National Park. B. Denali National Park.
C. Mount Rainier National Park. D. Chaco Culture National Park.
2. What do Denali and Chaco Culture National Park have in common
A. Large winter crowds. B. Ancient cultural relics. C. Various winter sports. D. Ideal photo spots.
3. Where does the passage come from
A. A personal diary. B. A travel magazine. C. A research paper. D. A history book.
B
Last fall, Joshua Barbeau, a freelance writer, logged onto a mysterious website called Project December. For years, Joshua had struggled with the lingering sorrow of losing his wife, Jessica, who died eight years ago.
Project December, powered by an advanced AI, can mimic (模仿) almost any writing style. By providing the AI with specific samples of a person’s speech, it can conduct human-like conversations. Driven by a mixture of curiosity and desperate longing, Joshua built an AI version of Jessica using her old texts. The initial interaction sent a shiver through his soul. The chatbot captured Jessica’s unique voice, even her habit of using jokes to soften serious statements. For months, it served as a shelter where Joshua could finally unburden his long-buried sorrow.
Yet the experience had a painful limit. Each chatbot had a fixed lifespan and would disappear permanently once its set time ended. Joshua realized that the digital version of Jessica would “die” as well, but he determined never to “reboot” her, fearing that treating her like a restartable video game would cheapen the experience. Fearing another loss, he limited his conversations with the chatbot, returning only briefly on special occasions, say, Jessica’s birthday. Despite occasional errors and confusion in the chatbot’s responses, Joshua did not feel disappointed. Instead, these moments reminded him of Jessica’s final days, when illness had clouded her memory. He corrected the chatbot gently, just as he once had in real life.
In the months that followed, he’d felt calmer and more optimistic. The chatbot did not erase his sorrow or solve all his problems, but it offered emotional release and gentle encouragement. The survivor’s guilt that had weighed on him for years gradually loosened its hold, and most of the time, he no longer felt selfish for seeking happiness. For Joshua, the chat logs preserved the spark of his beloved, offering a long-awaited chance to say goodbye.
4. Why did Joshua create the chatbot
A. To test the technical boundaries of AI. B. To reconnect emotionally with his wife.
C. To prove AI’s generative competence. D. To preserve the digital records of his wife.
5. What can we learn from paragraph 3
A. AI’s occasional faults depressed Joshua.
B. Joshua planned to create a new chatbot later.
C. Joshua wanted to prolong the chatbot’s company.
D. The technical errors made the experience less real.
6. What impact did the chatbot have on Joshua over time
A. He was lost in the virtual world. B. He completely got rid of his sadness.
C. He managed to find a new wife. D. He felt more composed and positive.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. A Digital Reunion with a Lost Love
B. A Romantic Memory of a Late Wife
C. Digital Echoes: How to Build an AI Companion
D. Project December: A Platform for Programmers
C
“This is a day in which my pride to be prime minister of Australia has never been greater. This is world-leading. This is Australia showing enough is enough,” Albanese said as the country’s under-16s social media ban came into effect on Wednesday. Albanese pointed to gathered media including those from the BBC, CNN and from Japan. He said the world was watching. The news has indeed turned heads globally. Some countries have already announced an intention to follow suit, including Malaysia, Indonesia, Denmark and Norway.
Many Australians support this ban with almost two-thirds of voters agreeing with the new rule. Major social media companies, including TikTok and Instagram, were asked to follow the ban. At first, some companies expressed resistance or concern, but they all said they would obey by the time the ban started. They use different methods, like checking faces or asking for ID, to verify (验证) users’ ages.
Carrying out the ban in practice, however, has proved far more difficult than designing it on paper. Large numbers of young people have already discovered methods to bypass the restrictions. The Prime Minister himself recounted that during a school visit, students openly admitted that many of their friends had “dodged it”. Online searches for ways to get around age-verification systems also surged dramatically, highlighting how quickly and creatively teenagers adapt to new rules.
In spite of these setbacks, Australia’s e-Safety Commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, has insisted that the government will not be discouraged. She described the policy as part of a “long game” to safeguard children’s well-being. Authorities plan to monitor how many underage users are removed from social media platforms and to conduct research on whether the ban leads to measurable improvements in teenagers’ mental health and academic performance, including standardized test results. Through this approach, the government hopes to position Australia as a global leader in developing new strategies to keep young people safe online.
Public reaction remains mixed. Some parents say it is a relief to have their children more present at home; others worry that isolated young people will lose vital online support. For Wayne Holdsworth, a Melbourne father whose son died after being bullied online, the law is a necessary step. He believes, combined with education, it will better equip teens to handle social media when they finally log back on at 16.
8. What did Albanese think of the ban in Paragraph 1
A. It was a global achievement. B. It was a universal standard.
C. It was a fruitless attempt. D. It was a vital intervention.
9. How did social media companies react to the ban
A. They found new ways to make profits. B. They fully supported the new policy.
C. They showed strong opposition to it. D. They respected regulatory power.
10. What does the e-Safety Commissioner’s “long game” imply
A. The ban will be continuously and globally updated.
B. The government prepares for persistent commitment.
C. Teenagers’ mental health will improve in an instant.
D. Underage users will access media platforms occasionally.
11. What is the main idea of the text
A. Many countries will copy Australia’s social media ban.
B. Australia’s under-16s ban meets support and challenges.
C. Social media companies put forward age verification.
D. Australian government gave way to public resistance.
D
In today’s fast-paced digital world, two powerful yet often overlooked approaches to learning are gaining attention: curiosity-driven inquiry and active content creation. The science podcast Tumble, for example, invites young listeners to explore real scientific questions — such as “Could dinosaurs burp ” or “What would happen if there were no trees ” — not by giving quick answers, but by walking them through how scientists investigate such mysteries. Episodes feature interviews with researchers, discussions of evidence, and honest admissions when answers remain uncertain. This mirrors how real science works: messy, collaborative, and full of wonder.
Equally valuable is the act of creating one’s own learning materials. As educators increasingly suggest, designing a quiz isn’t just a review tool — it’s a deep cognitive exercise. When students craft questions about a topic they care about, they must organize knowledge, anticipate misunderstandings, and distinguish between surface facts and core concepts. A well-structured quiz typically includes 9 to 12 questions of varied difficulty, uses clear language, and often adds a playful — but not misleading — distractor to its options to keep participants engaged.
Crucially, both approaches share a common principle: learning thrives when learners take ownership. Whether by asking bold questions like those on Tumble or by testing peers with self-made quizzes, students shift from passive recipients to active thinkers. Early classroom trials show that such methods improve long-term memory and boost motivation, especially among those who struggle with traditional learning.
Of course, these strategies work best with guidance. Teachers can help students refine their questions, evaluate sources, and interpret feedback. But the core message remains: when education starts with genuine curiosity and empowers creation, it doesn’t just transmit knowledge — it cultivates scientific habits of mind.
12. What is a key feature of the podcast Tumble
A. It provides accurate answers to all scientific questions.
B. It encourages memorization of basic scientific facts.
C. It reflects the real process of scientific investigation.
D. It replaces formal school science courses with audio.
13. The word “distractor” in Paragraph 2 most likely refers to ________.
A. a fun but tricky option in a quiz B. a visual aid to enhance engagement
C. a misleading and confusing question D. a difficult scientific term used in teaching
14.What is the author’s opinion of the teachers’ role
A. Teachers focus on knowledge transmission only. B. Teachers should be given priority in education.
C. Teachers act as guides rather than authorities. D. Teachers need to provide strict guidelines.
15. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To introduce digital learning tools for teenagers. B. To advocate curiosity-driven learning methods.
C. To explain steps to create podcasts or quizzes. D. To criticize excessive reliance on technology.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
New discoveries and technological breakthroughs are made every year. Yet, as the agricultural sector moves forward, many people in society are looking back to their roots in terms of the food they eat. A “locavore” movement has emerged in the United States, encouraging people to eat foods grown locally and sustainably. ____16____.
The United States’ agricultural output is among the highest in the world. Farms here are tremendously productive, thanks to advanced technology and massive inputs. ____17____. Professor Timothy Beach points out that this food system heavily depends on fossil fuels — both for machinery and fertilizer production. As global petrol reserves reduce, such dependence is turning into a growing threat to agricultural stability.
Despite these challenges, the move toward sustainability is growing stronger. Farmers like Louise Keckler run small farms that supply fresh produce through community-supported agriculture networks. ____18____. This freshness not only improves nutrition but also helps consumers understand how climate change affects food systems. This personal connection fosters greater environmental awareness.
Some experts also question whether the “locavore” movement is just a passing craze. ____19____. Professor Beach admits uncertainty but believes fully sustainable agriculture could still feed the nation. Professor Erin Barnett, however, calls it a lasting trend — a return to a more natural way of eating that aligns with human needs.
____20____. Urban residents are now growing tomatoes on balconies or herbs in window boxes. As Kirk Wilbur, a former urban farming advocate, notes, “No matter how small a space you have, you still have enough room to grow some food.” Local eating is no longer limited to rural areas — it’s becoming a lifestyle accessible to all.
A. In fact, the movement is expanding into cities
B. They can inspire more responsible consumption habits
C. However, this productivity comes at a high environmental cost
D. It shortens supply chains and strengthens producer-consumer ties
E. Many believe that global trade ensures food security better than local systems
F. Whether temporary or not, they agree it’s made supermarkets rethink sourcing
G. Through this model, households get food harvested only hours before delivery

Our city parks provide beauty and relaxation for all. However, during my recent visit, I noticed some uncivilized behaviors that ruined this shared treasure. People left litter like plastic bags and bottles on the ground, scribbled on benches and statues, and trampled on flower beds.
To protect these precious spaces, I propose we all dispose of trash properly. Besides, it is necessary that we respect public property and never damage it. And always remember to stay on designated paths to protect plants. After all, caring for parks is everyone’s duty.
Let’s act together to keep them clean and beautiful!
