All-Inclusive Family Vacation Ideas in the US
Here are a few family vacations in the US where everything's included.

Located on the northeast side of the island of Puerto Rico, this resort is next to El Yunque rainforest and is home to three swimming pools featuring a waterfall. Its inclusive meal plan package includes unlimited drinks, three meals per day and use of the tennis courts.
Grand Hotel—Mackinac Island, Michigan
In the upper Midwest, a stay at the nearly all-inclusive Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island has been one of the most popular family vacation ideas in the country since its opening in 1887. The hotel is only reachable by ferry(渡轮)(no cars allowed), and offers family vacation packages that typically include meals(breakfast and dinner) and resort facilities.

Florida's Sandpiper Bay All-Inclusive Resort offers something for everyone in the family: many swimming pools, water sports, golf, a kids' club and a private beach. And the resort is just two hours away from Walt Disney World and Universal Studios in Orlando.

Greg Heffley is the main character in Jeff Kinney's best-selling Diary of a Wimpy Kid series of books. Greg is a middle school student with big dreams. In his diary, he writes stories about his struggles to fit in and draws pictures to go with them.
Greg Heffley is a thin but ambitious kid with an active imagination and big plans to be rich and famous-he just has to survive middle school first. To make matters worse, Greg's lovable best friend, Rowley seems to sail through life and succeed at everything without even trying! As details of his extremely funny—and often disastrous—attempts to infill the pages of his journal, Greg learns to appreciate true friends and the satisfaction that comes from standing up for what is right.
The first live-action movie based on Diary of a Wimpy Kid came out in 2010. Now an animated film based on the original book is about to hit screens.
“The new Diary of a Wimpy Kid is going to feel a lot different from the live-action movie,” Kinney told TFK reporter Lucy Sandor. “Parts of that first movie were reimagined. But the animated version just came to life from the pages of the book,” he said.
Humor inspires Kinney to write. Whether it's a movie script or a book, he likes to start with jokes. “When I think of a joke, it often comes with a picture in my mind,” he said. “Then I write. And in the end, I do the drawings.”
Diary of a Wimpy Kid will be available on Disney beginning December 3.

As a type of dwelling(住宅) in China, cave dwellings(yaodong in Chinese) still can be found in many places of China. According to official statistics, there are still 40 million people living in such dwellings in China.
As early as the New Stone Age, using a wooden framework, grass and soil, families living in the middle reaches of the Yellow River built simple shallow caves in natural earth holes in the mountains. Over 4, 000 years ago, the real caves started to be constructed, which could be related to the natural surroundings. In the areas that were popular with such dwellings, there was very thick loess(黄土). People made full use of the loess layers to create the original cave dwellings.
A cave is usually 6-8 meters long, around 3 meters wide and around 3 meters high. From the outside, it comes in the shape of an arc(拱形), which presents the ancient opinion of “Heaven is round and Ground is square”. Furniture in these caves is very simple, such as a wooden table, wooden chairs and an earth sleeping platform(kang in Chinese).
The most important and unique characteristic of a cave dwelling is that the inside of it is cool in summer and warm in winter. The natural architectural features protect the cave dwellers from being affected by the changes of the environment or weather. Besides, its creation does not damage the environment or occupy farmland. Another feature is that you will feel quite quiet inside.
In Yan'an in northern Shaanxi, a family usually has 3 to 5 caves. The middle one is the chief house, in which the grandparents or parents live. At the bottom right of each dwelling, people usually leave a small pass for their pets, such as cats or dogs, to go through. When constructing the gate for the whole yard, there is a traditional taboo that none of the caves should be in line with the gate. Otherwise, bad luck may fall upon this family.
8.What can we know about cave dwellings
A. They were built using wood, grass, and bamboo.
B. They are a very popular kind of house in the world.
C. They have been around for about 2, 000 years.
D. They are usually found in areas with thick loess.
9.Which of the following best describes a cave
A. Arc-shaped. B. Square-shaped.
C. Round-shaped. D. Rectangular-shaped.
10.What is the most unique feature of a cave dwelling
A. It is quiet inside.
B. It does not occupy farmland.
C. It is environmentally friendly.
D. It is warm in winter and cool in summer.
11.What is the main purpose of the text
A. To describe the process of building traditional cave dwellings.
B. To introduce the unique architecture of cave dwellings to readers.
C. To discuss the historical and cultural significance of cave dwellings.
D. To explore the living conditions and lifestyles of people in cave dwellings.
According to cognitive scientist Ben Goertzel, the world is experiencing a historic moment in artificial intelligence(AI) technology. Goertzel acknowledges that there is plenty of hype(炒作)surrounding the technology but believes that the new large language models that power generative AI have the potential to change the world.
Goertzel believes that generative AI models—like the one that powers ChatGPT-have the potential to replace many tasks currently performed by human workers. Fast-food workers and news copy editors, for example, are impacted by AL.
“Tools like Grammarly decrease the need for human editors,” Goertzel said. “They don't entirely eliminate the job but they decrease that need. Automatic tools can be used for writing journalistic articles. They've been writing. . . sports score summaries and weather reports for a long time.”
Despite this, he identifies two main areas AI will not replace: jobs that rely on human interaction and require groundbreaking creativity.
“So one class of things that won't be eliminated are jobs where the essence is human contact,” like preschool teachers, political strategists, and artists.
Generative AI chatbots are so powerful that it's difficult to avoid wondering whether the system is conscious.
Goertzel says it doesn't matter.
“I don't think we need to resolve the open questions in the philosophy of consciousness to build human-level or even superhuman thinking machines,” he said. “But I think we can make these questions feel irrelevant.”
Goertzel's insights open a door to understanding the future of AI, and his optimism about the potential of AI to revolutionize the world serves as a powerful reminder of the impact AI may have on society. Whether viewed with excitement or caution, the advancements in AI will surely cause deep thought and discussion for years to come.
12.What does the underlined word “eliminate” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Remove. B. Repeat. C. Improve. D. Solve.
13.Who are likely to be replaced by AI according to Ben Goertzel
A. Artists. B. Fast-food workers.
C. Preschool teachers. D. Political strategists.
14.What is Goertzel's attitude toward a superhuman thinking machine
A. He likes it.
B. He thinks it puzzling.
C. He doesn't accept it as part of his life.
D. He suggests putting its philosophical questions aside.
15.What is the best title for the text
A. A World-Changing Breakthrough in AI
B. The Potential of AI in Fast-food Industry.
C. Ben Goertzel's Opinions on the Impact of AI.
D. The Advancements in Generative AI.

34.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。
“Would you say you are more of a scientist or an artist ” I commonly heard this question as I was preparing to start my neuroscience doctoral program, often after I told my teachers and classmates that I love writing poetry. I learned to respond, “A scientist” —not because it was necessarily true, but because I felt it would win me more respect. As an undergraduate, poetry had been a way for me to relax. But in grad school, I wanted to be seen as just as devoted to my work as those around me, who appeared completely undisturbed by nonscientific hobbies. So, I left my poetry by the wayside— but it wasn't long before I felt a huge void(空虚) in my life.
By the second year of my Ph. D. , my paper project had become very boring and tiring and I was starting to burn out. One afternoon, a student mentioned the weekly event held by the university's poetry club, of which she was a leader. After hearing how much I enjoyed poetry, she declared, “You should come!” A few days later, I sat in a crowded cafe, excited to be here and to be a part of it.
Through reading and writing poems, I rediscovered how to relax. However, I still worried about appearing less than fully dedicated to my science. So, when a senior grad student in my lab whispered, “I hear you love poetry!” I froze. My heart began to race. She went on to invite me to perform at our department's art gala(联欢会). “By the way, Cheryl will be performing!” she added.
I was surprised to discover that Cheryl, our lab's principal investigator, was a dancer. I excitedly sought her out, and we spoke for more than an hour about how science and art could intertwine(交织). She explained that my skill at picking up patterns in experimental results was the same one I used to create rhymes in my poems. With Cheryl as a model, I decided to perform at the gala, for once not feeling I had anything to hide.
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。
The night of the gala, I was amazed at the talent of the performers. _____________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Since then, I decided to be my whole self. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

32.答案:①and/or②personal③more popular④variety⑤as⑥Sales⑦preferred⑧to continue⑨drinking⑩who
解析:
①考查连词。句意:人们在早餐时、客人来访时以及(或者)工作时间的茶歇都喝它。“for breakfast, for when guests visit”和“for tea breaks at work”构成并列或选择关系,所以应用连词and或or。故填and/or。
②考查形容词。句意:人们在谈论个人问题时甚至会喝杯茶。此处作定语应用形容词personal表示“个人的”。故填personal。
③考查比较级。句意:然而,茶叶集团的研究表明,草药茶、水果茶和其他茶比传统的英式早餐茶更受欢迎。根据“than traditional English breakfast tea”和后文“Over half of the people said their favourite tea was not the traditional(超过一半的人说他们最喜欢的茶不是传统的)”可知,此处应用形容词popular的比较级more popular表示“更受欢迎的”。故填more popular。
④考查名词。句意:超过一半的人说他们最喜欢的茶不是传统的品种。此处作表语应用名词variety表示“种类,品种”。故填variety。
⑤考查介词。句意:超过五分之一的人选择绿茶作为他们最喜欢的饮料。choose...as意为“选择……作为……”,所以此处应用介词as表示“作为”。故填as。
⑥考查可数名词的单复数。句意:传统茶在英国的销量一直在下降。此处sale意为“销量”,为可数名词,通常用复数形式,根据助动词have可知,主语为复数形式。句首首字母应大写。故填Sales。
⑦考查一般过去时。句意:三年前的一项调查发现,54%的英国人更喜欢英式早餐茶。根据“Three years ago”可知,此处应用一般过去时。故填preferred。
⑧考查动词不定式。句意:新的研究表明,早餐茶的受欢迎程度可能会继续下降。be likely to do意为“可能做某事”,为固定搭配,所以此处应用to do不定式。故填to continue。
⑨考查动名词。句意:喝茶的最大原因是放松。动词drink意为“喝”,在介词for后应用动名词形式作宾语。故填drinking。
⑩考查定语从句。句意:大约85%喝伯爵茶和英式早餐茶的人会在里面放牛奶。在定语从句中缺少主语,且先行词为people,所以应用关系代词who或that。故填who/that。
33.答案:
Hello, everyone!
It’s well known that Chinese people attach great importance to labor, for it not only creates a better environment for us to live in but also advocates the spirit of diligence. As for me, there are various kinds of labour tasks to do, such as helping clean the house, washing dishes after dinner and sweeping floor. Doing all these chores helps me learn to be more independent and responsible, thus making me feel a sense of achievement.

One possible version:
The night of the gala, I was amazed at the talent of the performers. Chatting with the other performers, I found many of them were also graduate students. I realized many shared my concern that we might interpret a passion for art as a lack of passion for science. But over the course of the evening, I found myself at peace with the two halves of my identity, and I got the feeling that others felt that same peace, too.
Since then, I decided to be my whole self. While completing my Ph. D. , I often wrote poetry in my spare time, Some teachers and students have seen the value of this outside interest; others have been distrustful. But when I have my own doubts, I think of some famous figures, whose achievements remind me that art and science can balance and enhance each other. And now, if someone asks me whether I’m more of a scientist or an artist, I very proudly say, “Both.”
解析:
1.段落续写
由第一段首句内容“晚会当晚,我对表演者的才华感到惊讶。”可知,第一段可描写作者在晚会上见到了许多和作者一样对艺术有热情的研究生,发现了艺术和科学工作可以共存。
由第二段首句内容“从那以后,我决定做我自己。”可知,第二段可描写作者在科学工作之余,依然坚持了自己对艺术的热爱。
2.续写线索:参加晚会——发现热爱艺术的科学工作者——共同的担心——艺术和科学可以共存——坚持自己——感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类:
①意识到:realize/be aware of
②提高:enhance/improve
③询问:ask/inquire
情绪类
①担心:concern/worry
②怀疑的:distrustful/doubtful
