Baby Beach in Maui, Hawaii
It scores the top spot for the calmest beach in the world with its calm waters. “Baby Beach is an ideal beach for families with toddlers,” Betts said. “Since the waters are so calm and shallow, it provides the perfect opportunity for children to splash around in the ocean.”

The Leshan Giant Buddha is a statue of Maitreya(弥勒佛) in a sitting posture. The Buddha is located in Sichuan Province, facing the Min, Qingyi and Dadu rivers. In December, 1996, the Buddha was included by UNESCO on the World Heritage List.
Facing the rivers, the Buddha has a symmetrical(对称的) posture and looks which have been beautifully captured in its solemn(庄严的) stillness. The statue was begun in the year 713 in the Tang Dynasty, and finished in the year 803. The Buddha is 71 meters high. And its 8.5-meter-wide instep(脚背) is big enough for one hundred people to sit on and the 24-meter-wide shoulder is large enough to be a tennis court.
It was a monk called Hai Tong who initiated the project. His concern was for the safety of the ordinary people who earned their living around the joint of the three rivers. Tempestuous and wild waters brought about numerous boat accidents and the simple people put the disaster down to the presence of a water spirit. So Hai Tong decided to carve a giant statue beside the joint of the three rivers thinking that the Buddha would bring the water spirit under control. Besides, the fallen stones dropped during the carving would reduce the water force there.
After 20 years' begging from door to door, he finally collected enough money for the plan. When some local government officials tried to get this amount of money, Hai Tong said that they could get his eyeball but not the money raised for the Buddha. After he dug out his eyeball, these officials ran away in fear. The project was half done when long-suffering Hai Tong passed away, and two Buddhists continued the work. After a total of 90 years' hard work, the project was eventually accomplished.
Having such a long history, the Buddha was nearly destroyed by the erosion(侵蚀) of wind and rain. And with its worldwide fame, the renovation of the Buddha has received extensive attention both at home and abroad. Then in 1962 the Chinese government began the repair work under the instructions of experts. And at present, the maintenance work is still in progress.
24.What was Hai Tong's purpose to build the statue
A.To gain fame.
B.To spread Buddhism.
C.To respect the water spirit.
D.To protect local people.
25.How did Hai Tong fund the project
A.By begging for money.
B.By working on the river.
C.By asking the government.
D.By building businesses.
26.Which word can best describe Hai Tong
A.Generous. B.Social. C.Devoted. D.Cruel.
27.Which column of a newspaper does this passage belong to
A.Innovation. B.Art and culture.
C.Policy watch. D.Forum trends.
C
Everyone loves a holiday! A little time off for some much-needed R & R(rest and relaxation) can be exactly the thing torejuvenate and refresh you from work. So if you're struggling to think of your next destination, then look no further. Don't waste time debating where to go, but let your blood decide.
Everybody has a lineage(血统). Recently, finding out more about our family origins has become popular. By the start of 2019, 26 million people had taken an AncestryDNA test at home, according to a report by MIT Technology Review. It is believed that this number is rising.
This trend has been noticed by opportunistic travel operators. Some are looking to provide a service that allows people to both track their family roots and travel to the destinations where their ancestors originated.
Airbnb, an online boarding marketplace, recently partnered with 23andMe, a DNA testing company, to offer recommendations that encourage travelers to walk in the footsteps of their forefathers. And they aren't the only ones.
The Shelbourne Hotel in Dublin has its own “genealogy butler(宗谱管家)”. Hellen Kelly offers advice to help guests track their Irish lineage using official records. This allows them to “fill in the blanks of their Irish ancestry”, she told Good Morning America.
The Conte Club, a luxury travel company, offers custom routes of travel based on DNA tests. “These experiences are about going deeper into who we really are,” says the Conte Club CEO Rebecca Fielding in an article in Condé Nast Traveler. “It might be the most meaningful trip we can take.”
So next time you think of going on a vacation, why not take a DNA test first Once you know how far you are from your family, take time to holiday back.
28.What does the underlined word “rejuvenate” in Paragraph 1 mean
A.Make one take a holiday.
B.Make one do a DNA test.
C.Make one return to work.
D.Make one feel lively again.
29.What is the main reason leading to the new travel way
A.The creativity of the travel agency.
B.The report by MIT Technology Review.
C.The competition of the boarding market.
D.The rising number of people tracking their lineage.
30.How does the writer convince us of the rise of the new travel way
A.By offering reasons.
B.By giving examples.
C.By making comparisons.
D.By analyzing information.
31.What's the writer's attitude to the new travel way
A.Doubtful. B.Negative.
C.Supportive. D.Uninterested.

Shuikou, a village in East China's Zhejiang Province, is home to 10,000 residents, and about 30 percent of them are engaged in the homestay business. The village has developed into one of the major rural tourist destinations in the Yangtze River Delta(长江三角洲) region over the years.
As cross-provincial tourism has resumed nationwide, the locals in Shuikou are back in business and looking forward to a full recovery in the local tourism industry.
The homestay owner Zheng Yunfang has been busy answering customers' calls, taking down their information, while checking the booking status of her hostelry(旅店) since early August. “Our 18 guest rooms were fully booked during the past few weeks, and we've received bookings up to November,” says Zheng, who runs Ziming Mountain Villa(别墅) in Shuikou. Most of her guests have been to her place before, and they often bring in new guests during their visits. “By the look of things, business shouldn't be a problem in the second half of the year.”
Just walking distance away from Zheng's villa, another local homestay owner, Song Chaofeng, has begun receiving visitors as well. He is starting to reap the rewards of an earlier promotion of his homestay on the short-video app, Douyin.
As an experiment, Song made a video featuring local food and landscapes earlier this year and uploaded it online after a bit of simple editing. “It was a total surprise that several thousand people watched it the next day,” says Song.
Tourist Qi Jia, from Shanghai, recently visited Song's place with her family after flipping through Song's Douyin account. “My child loves playing table tennis here, and my parents love the distinctive rural-style breakfast, with fresh and nutritious food that is picked right from the field. It feels right to come here,” she says.
At the moment, Song says he will focus on maintaining the quality of his homestay operations and updating his fans online on the latest developments. “Hopefully, they can all come here and experience what we can offer,” Song says.
32.What is the author's purpose in writing the passage
A.To show us the recovery of tourism.
B.To introduce the successful homestay examples.
C.To tell guests how to book homestay guest rooms.
D.To let us know about the village of Shuikou in Zhejiang Province.
33.Where is this passage most likely to be taken from
A.A history book. B.A travel website.
C.A book review. D.A science magazine.
34.Which word best describes Song Chaofeng's short-video promotion
A.Complex. B.Ordinary.
C.Uneasy. D.Rewarding.
35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A.Homestay as the rural approach pays off

I've reached the turn-around point of the day's kayaking(皮划艇) trip. Sweat runs down my cheeks as I 41 my fingers through the cool water. I look around. It's just me, a couple of seagulls, and shining freshwater to the horizon. This, I whisper to myself, is 42 .
Solo outings had never 43 my mind before because I always had loyal friends willing to tag along. But three years ago, I moved to Cleveland. Meeting close friends in a new city is 44 . And a worldwide health crisis made 45 impossible.
In October 2022, I decided to 46 a whole day on a solo hiking trip. I went to Cuyahoga Valley National Park to 47 the autumn leaves. Five miles in length, I couldn't remember the last time I'd felt so alive. I was more 48 of my surroundings than I'd ever been while hiking that day. I studied the markings of trees, focused my ears on each forest sound and did something I had almost never spared 49 for: I listened to my own thoughts. Every word in my mind pointed to a newfound 50 —solo hiking is my happy moment. From then on, I have adjusted myself to any solo activity.
Pride 51 through my body when I first launched my kayak. My chest, 52 tightened by nerves, was bursting with happiness as I finally reached the middle of the river that I'd long 53 standing on the shore before.
Adventuring alone has become like medicine for me! It's also pushed me to go 54 my comfort zone and to meet new people. Through meetups and social media, my adventure network has 55 . But at least once per month, I schedule time to hit nature with my favorite trail buddy: myself.

Karakul Lake, which literally means “Black Lake” in the local language, is anything but black. I've 56 (personal) witnessed the water changing from light purple 57 glowing blue and it is really spectacular. The lake's location along the Karakoram Highway near Kashgar makes 58 a wonderfully secluded place 59 very few tourists tend to travel. At the foot of the Muztag Mountain 60 (lie) a small village whose buildings are still made of mud and brick, a great place to buy a hand-made wool carpet from 61 (local). As always, be prepared to spend the night in a 62 (comfort) yurt(蒙古包). The area 63 (surround) the small Karakul Lake isn't quite green, but there is still plenty to do. While every lake offers some sort of horse or camel riding experience, Karakul is one of the few spots where you can completely circumnavigate(环航) the lake in 64 (little) than a few hours on horseback.
It's also possible 65 (hire) a guide to help you climb the neighboring mountain, but the safety record is 3 deaths in 2008 out of only 300 climbers according to one local.

It was summer, and my dad wanted to treat me to a vacation like never before. He decided to take me on a trip to the Wild West.
We took a plane to Albuquerque, a big city in the state of New Mexico.We reached Albuquerque in the late afternoon. Uncle Paul, my dad's friend, picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm in Pecos.
His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle. My dad and I spent the night in the guest room of the farm house listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby. Very early in the morning, Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast. “The day starts at dawn on my farm,” he said. After breakfast, I went to help Aunt Tina feed the chickens, while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze(吃草). I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses. They looked really cool.
In the afternoon, I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a horse ride, and he said yes, as long as my dad went with me. I wasn't going to take a horse ride by myself anyway. So, my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats, got on our horses, and headed slowly towards the mountains. “Don't be late for supper,” Uncle Paul cried, “and keep to the track so that you don't get lost!” “OK!” my dad cried back. After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight. It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks, the deep green pine trees, and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene. It looked like a beautiful woven(编织的) blanket spread out upon the ground just for us.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse.
We had no idea where we were and it got dark.

第二节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了位于中国新疆北部的喀拉库勒湖。喀拉库勒湖风景优美,值得游览。
56.personally 考查副词。此处修饰动词witnessed,应用副词。故填personally。
57.to 考查介词。固定搭配from...to...意为“从……到……”。故填to。
58.it 考查代词。句意:该湖位于喀喇昆仑公路沿线,靠近喀什,这使它成为一个非常僻静的地方……。根据句意可知,此处应用代词it指代上文中的The lake,作动词makes的宾语。故填it。
59.where 考查定语从句。设空处无提示词,分析句子可知,设空处引导定语从句,在定语从句中作地点状语,应用关系副词where引导。故填where。
60.lies 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。这是一个介词短语位于句首引起的完全倒装句,a small village是主语,设空处是谓语动词,此处描述一般事实,应用一般现在时,主语是单数形式,谓语也应用单数形式。故填lies。
61.locals 考查名词的数。根据语境可知,此处local表示“当地人;本地人”,为可数名词,空前无限定词,应用复数形式。故填locals。
62.comfortable 考查形容词。此处修饰名词yurt,应用形容词。故填comfortable。
63.surrounding 考查现在分词。分析句子可知,动词surround与被修饰词The area之间构成逻辑上的主动关系,所以应用现在分词作后置定语。故填surrounding。
64.less 考查固定短语。固定短语less than意为“少于;不到”。故填less。
65.to hire 考查动词不定式。此处为固定句型“It's possible to do...”,其中It是形式主语,真正的主语是动词不定式。故填to hire。
第四部分 写作
第一节
One possible version:
The Place I Desire to Visit
Among a great deal of wonderful scenery, Chengdu is the very place that I desire to visit. My reasons are as follows.
Above all, Chengdu is famous for its slow lifestyle, and people sitting in the yard and playing mahjong together can be seen here and there. So it's a great way to release ourselves from the rapidly changing world. Besides, the food there is worth a try such as spicy rabbit heads and Dandan noodles, which are very popular specialties. Most importantly, the giant panda that is regarded as a national treasure lives in Chengdu. People can watch pandas eating bamboos and having fun in the zoo.
I really hope to visit Chengdu one day and enjoy myself there!
第二节
One possible version:
Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse.Its unexpected appearance frightened my horse, which made it run wildly. I tried my best to control it, but in vain. Frightened as I was, I tried to keep my balance to prevent myself from falling off. Fortunately, minutes later, the horse stopped before a river, out of breath, and so did I. At that moment, my dad also came up. Seeing I was OK, he was quite relieved. But it was clear that we got lost.
We had no idea where we were and it got dark.We didn't know where the farm house was. What we could do was go back along the previous tracks slowly. But it was really difficult for us in such a dark situation. Just as we were at the point of desperation, we heard a faint voice from the distance. “It must be Uncle Paul,” I said. So we cried back with excitement. Finally, Uncle Paul safely brought us back home. What an amazing ride!
