The best UK hidden beaches for the perfect holiday
If you’re considering where to go at Easter or other holidays and searching for some family holiday ideas, why not make the most of your time off by planning a trip to one of Britain’s best beaches Escape the bank holiday crowds, take a trip to one of these more secluded (僻静的)spots and make some wonderful memories on your own private piece of coastline.
Charming coves at Nanjizal Beach
Cornwall is known for having some of the best beaches in the UK. However, across peak times such as the Easter holidays, they can become overrun with holidaymakers.
Nanjizal Beach is usually very quiet, apart from those walkers who have made the hike on the coastal path from either Porthgwarra, Lands End or Sennen Cove. There are numerous coves to discover and the ruins of an old watermill too. If all of that walking has made you warm, it’s also a great spot for swimming, with inviting shallow water.
Don’t forget to pack a picnic though, as not only will you want to spend some time soaking in the salty sea air, it’s also a long walk back to the car.
Beautiful beaches at Rhu Point
With its white sands and crystal blue waters, Rhu Point might make you think that you’re in the Caribbean, rather than the west coast of Scotland, a wonderfully remote beach. It is simply attractive at low tide, and offers beautiful views once you arrive at the sandy shore. The walk to get there is also just as pretty; if the day is clear, there are some wonderful views over to the Isle of Skye.
Apart from some great rock pools nestling within the rocky outcrops (露出地面的部分), you can also collect shells which are common on the shoreline. If you’re looking for an Easter holiday getaway on a remote beach in a beautiful part of the country, this is a wonderful option.
1. What makes Nanjizal Beach an appealing place during peak times
A. Its easy accessibility to tourists.
B. A large number of coves and ruins to explore.
C. Its warm atmosphere due to large crowds.
D. The availability of various water sports.
2. What is one recommendation given to visitors planning a trip to Nanjizal Beach
A. Bringing along a guidebook for cave exploration.
B. Carrying a picnic for the long walk back to the car.
C. Leaving early to avoid heavy traffic on the coastal path.
D. Reserving a parking spot in advance to avoid inconvenience.
3. Why is Rhu Point considered a wonderful beach destination in Scotland
A. Its being close to the Isle of Skye.
B. Rich marine life and bird species.

Recently, video clips of Zhang Jianns, a sanitation (环卫) worker, directing foreigners have gone viral online. Her fluent English and confident feature showcased in the videos have deeply impressed the viewers, sparking curiosity about how an ordinary-looking sanitation worker had such impressive English skills.
Behind the hit lies a decade-long journey of persistence. In 2012, Zhang Jianna took on the role of a sanitation worker in the embassy (大使馆) area of Sanlitun in Beijing’s Chaoyang district. A special encounter while working has motivated Zhang to learn English by herself, which she continues with determination to this day. “My goal is quite simple. I just want to help whenever Someone is in need, whether asking for directions, visa procedures, or telling them about the embassy area I am responsible for,” said Zhang.
Thus, at the age of 40, Zhang began a personal challenge. Without a teacher, she began learning English from her children’s textbooks, starting with basic words and phrases commonly used for giving directions. With no fixed study hours, she used every spare moment. While others rested, she memorized vocabulary and practiced speaking. Upon arriving home after work, she would write down new knowledge points and review them until she thoroughly understood them. Over the years, she has filled over a dozen notebooks. Her memory posed her biggest challenge. “Learning English at an older age, I would easily forget the words I learned before. Persistence is the key to learning English. Learn step by step, learn every day,” Zhang said.
When asked about the greatest reward of learning English, Zhang said, “Growing up in a rural area without a college education, I sometimes feared being looked down upon. But every time I help a stranger in English, I feel incredibly accomplished.” “Tiring, but satisfying,” Zhang Jianna reflects on her work and language learning. “To serve others makes me happy, and it’s where I prove my self-worth,” said Zhang. “After retirement, I also want to introduce my hometown in English and improve local tourism,” she said, acknowledging that her inspiring journey has led to this new goal.
4. What aroused curiosity about Zhang Jianna
A. Her confident expression. B. Her role as a sanitation worker.
C. Her great fluency in English. D. Her friendly attitude to foreigners.
5. How did Zhang Jianna learn English
A. With the help of a teacher. B. Through watching videos online.
C. From her children’s textbooks. D. By attending language classes.
6. What does Zhang Jianna think of the greatest reward of learning English
A. Better job opportunities. B. Respect from family members.
C. Social recognition. D. Self-confidence.
7. What is Zhang Jianna’s future goal related to English learning
A. To promote local tourism in her hometown. B. To become a language teacher.
C. To work in an embassy abroad. D. To write a book in English.

Staff at the Xinglong Tropical Botanical Garden in south China’s Hainan Province were very busy during this summer holiday, as they were preoccupied with teaching children how to turn cocoa nuts into delicious chocolate. Through this hands-on approach, children gained an understanding of the cocoa plant itself and discovered the art of crafting their very own chocolate. Throughout the summer holiday period, the cocoa botanical garden was abuzz with activities, attracting an average of 3,000 visitors daily.
Similar to the cocoa botanical garden, various other locations across China are gaining popularity as destinations (目的地) for study tours.
In Bayannur City, Inner Mongolia, the Ulan Buhe Desert has hosted a group of enthusiastic young students as part of a summer study camp. The study trip begins with a 3km desert hike, during which the participants directly experienced the challenges of desertification control. Museums have become another popular destination for study tours. Nine museums in Suzhou introduced extended opening hours from 5 p.m. to 9 p. m.
A study tour provides students with practical learning opportunities that complement (补充) their theoretical knowledge gained through textbooks and classroom instruction The selection of destinations and activities for study tours is frequently designed to coincide with the subjects covered in the curriculum (课程).
“The primary difference between study travel and other forms of tourism lies in its focusing on acquiring knowledge during the journey,” said Luo Shugang, director of the Education, Science, Culture and Public Health Committee of the National People’s Congress. In the past decade, the study tour has undergone rapid development, presenting huge potential among various parts of the tourism industry, he said.
Experts pointed out that a key factor behind this trend is that an increasing number of parents realize the significance of practical learning experiences for their children.
8. Why were staff at Xinglong Tropical Botanical Garden busy during the summer holiday
A. They were instructing children how to make chocolate.
B. They were conducting research on cocoa plants.
C. They were managing the botanical garden.
D. They were making chocolate for visitors.
9. What does the underlined part “coincide with” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Give rise to. B. Agree with. C. Compete with. D. Make room for.
10. What sets study tours apart from other forms of tourism
A. The cost of the tour. B. The time of the trip.
C. The destinations visited. D. The approach to getting knowledge.

The appearance of text-to-video artificial intelligence (Al) technology has the potential to completely change advertising, movie trailers and short video industries, as Sora, a new AI model developed by US-based AI research company OpenAI—creator of chatbot ChatCPT—has recently become a global topic, experts said.
They added that the multimodal (多模态) large language model which can produce high-resolution video clips based on given texts, is an undoubted future development direction for generative AI and will bring strong motivation (动力) into a new round of industrial development.
Sora can generate videos up to a minute long while keeping visual (视觉的) quality, OpenAI said. It can make complex scenes with multiple characters, specific types of motion, and accurate (准确的) details of the subject and background. The model understands what the user has asked for and how those things exist in the physical world.
Liu Xingliang, director of the Beijing-based Data Center of China Internet, a research institute specializing in the internet industry, said Sora is undoubtedly a major breakthrough for AI. “It shows AI’s advanced ability to understand and create complex visual content and brings about huge opportunities and challenges for content creation, entertainment and film and television production industries. The video-generation model will help video content creators turn their ideas into reality at a faster speed and at a lower cost.” Liu said, adding that AI is expected to play a more important role in all aspects of human lives in the future. He said that with advancements in AI technology, traditional film and TV production processes and related business models will likely be reshaped.
Still, it does not necessarily mean the disappearance of traditional film and industries, and more effort is needed to explore new artistic forms and expression methods by integrating AI technology.
Meanwhile, experts say using text-to-video AI models raises concerns about ethics (道德准则), copyright protection, personal privacy leakage and data security. Ensuring the authenticity and transparency (透明性) of the content has become an important issue, and more effort is needed to make rules and regulations to ensure the healthy development of such technology.
12. What can be known about text-to-video AI technology
A. It is popular with movie trailers. B. It creates videos based on given pictures.
C. It will pose a threat to film-related industries. D. It can produce scenes lasting at least one minute.

A. By bringing an end to them. B. By attracting more people to them.
C. By increasing the production costs. D. By motivating them to explore new forms.
14. Which of the following can best describe Sora
A. Imperfect. B. Profitable. C. Time-consuming. D. Cutting-edge.
15. What would be the most suitable title for the text
A. The Impact of Text-to-Video AI on Creative Industries
B. Sora: The Next Breakthrough in AI-Powered Video Generation
C. Exploring the Ethical Rules of Text-to-Video AI Technology
D. Offering Opportunities and Challenges in AI-Driven Content Creation

Recently, video clips of Zhang Jianns, a sanitation (环卫) worker, directing foreigners have gone viral online. Her fluent English and confident feature showcased in the videos have deeply impressed the viewers, sparking curiosity about how an ordinary-looking sanitation worker had such impressive English skills.
Behind the hit lies a decade-long journey of persistence. In 2012, Zhang Jianna took on the role of a sanitation worker in the embassy (大使馆) area of Sanlitun in Beijing’s Chaoyang district. A special encounter while working has motivated Zhang to learn English by herself, which she continues with determination to this day. “My goal is quite simple. I just want to help whenever Someone is in need, whether asking for directions, visa procedures, or telling them about the embassy area I am responsible for,” said Zhang.
Thus, at the age of 40, Zhang began a personal challenge. Without a teacher, she began learning English from her children’s textbooks, starting with basic words and phrases commonly used for giving directions. With no fixed study hours, she used every spare moment. While others rested, she memorized vocabulary and practiced speaking. Upon arriving home after work, she would write down new knowledge points and review them until she thoroughly understood them. Over the years, she has filled over a dozen notebooks. Her memory posed her biggest challenge. “Learning English at an older age, I would easily forget the words I learned before. Persistence is the key to learning English. Learn step by step, learn every day,” Zhang said.
When asked about the greatest reward of learning English, Zhang said, “Growing up in a rural area without a college education, I sometimes feared being looked down upon. But every time I help a stranger in English, I feel incredibly accomplished.” “Tiring, but satisfying,” Zhang Jianna reflects on her work and language learning. “To serve others makes me happy, and it’s where I prove my self-worth,” said Zhang. “After retirement, I also want to introduce my hometown in English and improve local tourism,” she said, acknowledging that her inspiring journey has led to this new goal.
4. What aroused curiosity about Zhang Jianna

C. Her great fluency in English. D. Her friendly attitude to foreigners.
5. How did Zhang Jianna learn English
A. With the help of a teacher. B. Through watching videos online.
C. From her children’s textbooks. D. By attending language classes.
6. What does Zhang Jianna think of the greatest reward of learning English
A. Better job opportunities. B. Respect from family members.
C. Social recognition. D. Self-confidence.
7. What is Zhang Jianna’s future goal related to English learning

The appearance of text-to-video artificial intelligence (Al) technology has the potential to completely change advertising, movie trailers and short video industries, as Sora, a new AI model developed by US-based AI research company OpenAI—creator of chatbot ChatCPT—has recently become a global topic, experts said.
They added that the multimodal (多模态) large language model, which can produce high-resolution video clips based on given texts, is an undoubted future development direction for generative AI and will bring strong motivation (动力) into a new round of industrial development.
Sora can generate videos up to a minute long while keeping visual (视觉的) quality, OpenAI said. It can make complex scenes with multiple characters, specific types of motion, and accurate (准确的) details of the subject and background. The model understands what the user has asked for and how those things exist in the physical world.
Liu Xingliang, director of the Beijing-based Data Center of China Internet, a research institute specializing in the internet industry, said Sora is undoubtedly a major breakthrough for AI. “It shows AI’s advanced ability to understand and create complex visual content and brings about huge opportunities and challenges for content creation, entertainment and film and television production industries. The video-generation model will help video content creators turn their ideas into reality at a faster speed and at a lower cost.” Liu said, adding that AI is expected to play a more important role in all aspects of human lives in the future. He said that with advancements in AI technology, traditional film and TV production processes and related business models will likely be reshaped.
Still, it does not necessarily mean the disappearance of traditional film and industries, and more effort is needed to explore new artistic forms and expression methods by integrating AI technology.
Meanwhile, experts say using text-to-video AI models raises concerns about ethics (道德准则), copyright protection, personal privacy leakage and data security. Ensuring the authenticity and transparency (透明性) of the content has become an important issue, and more effort is needed to make rules and regulations to ensure the healthy development of such technology.

A. It is popular with movie trailers. B. It creates videos based on given pictures.
C. It will pose a threat to film-related industries. D. It can produce scenes lasting at least one minute.
