Grand Canyon National Park
Grand Canyon National Park,a world-famous bucket-list destination,boasts splendid hiking trails and breathtaking views.The Colorado River flows through the massive canyon,creating perfect conditions for adventurous activities like whitewater rafting( 激流漂流)A helicopter ride enables visitors to view this natural wonder from a unique angle,while vast rock formations will leave people impressed by the greatness of nature.
Maui

Honolulu-Oahu
Honolulu-Oahu offers a perfect mix of urban lifestyle and seaside scenery.Although Waikikī Beach is extremely popular and al ways packed,some quieter beaches can serve as ideal choices for travelers longing for peace. Additionally, visitors can explore historic naval ( 海军的) memorials to learn about local history before ending their journey.

My PhD adviser informed me I had failed my qualifying exam at my third attempt,which meant the dismissal from the program.How was it possible that one exam—one hour of my life —could define me as unfit to be a scientist?
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started my PhD program.I struggled with my classes during my first year,spending countless hours studying in the library.I ended that year with increased confidence.But soon my confidence went away when I made my first attempt at the qualifying exam.I had switched research project 5 months earlier,after my first adviser left the university,so I wasn’t confident of going into the exam.Besides,I had never taken an oral exam before,so the experience was terrifying.
Once it was over,my committee told me I'd conditionally passed,which meant I had to take more time to study and prepare to talk about the topic further I was shaken but still hopeful.But when I retook the exam,I failed again.That's when I was told I'd have one more chance.
For the next 5 months,I asked my committee chairs for guidance and practiced answering oral questions.I even stopped doing lab work to focus on my exam preparations.I was all in.
When the exam was over,I left the room feeling a mix of fear and relief.But those feelings changed to disappointment the next day after I learned I'd failed.I speak Spanish at home,but I have difficulty translating even the simplest scientific concepts into Spanish.This made it difficult for me to comfortably speak the expected “language of science”.
My adviser requested to reinstate(使重返岗位)me to the PhD program,and I'm now back to working on my doctorate( 博士学位).I still have a little voice in the back of my head that I’m not good enough.But I try to stop it by surrounding myself with professors who support me and by staying focused on developing into the great scientist I know I can be.I am much more than that one-hour exam.

Nearly 30%ofU.S.children have a diagnosed allergy(过敏),suffering from symptoms such as hives,sneezing,or even life-threatening ones.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 delay ing 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,an 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( 湿疹)should be tested for allergies before food introduction,and children with a known egg allergy should be tested espcially 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 who can sit upright and swallow.
C.Children already exposed to peanuts. 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.Asingle 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.

The Nobel Prize economist,Philip Agion offered us his unique insights into artificial intelligence(AI)in the book Creative Destruction.
The rise ofAI 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.
Al 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 al ways 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

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。
Daylight is exactly what our mind and body need to stay energetic and healthy,especially during cold and dark winter months.Most people tend to pick up their phones the moment they wake up,which is actually an unhealthy habit.We are supposed to start our day with plenty of natural light. 36
Natural light sends clear signals to our brains and helps regulate our circadian( 生理的) rhythm.Gentle morning light encourages the production of melatonin,a key hormone that guarantees good sleep quality at night.It also helps reduce nighttime blood pressure and allows us to enjoy deep and relaxing sleep. 37 Related studies have proven that only after being exposed toenough natural light are people more energetic and less troubled by sleeping problems.
Modern lifestyle keeps us indoors for most ofthe time,resulting in a serious lack of sunlight.
38 Besides,more sunlight means more vitamin D for us,which helps us ease depression and anxiety.Even on cloudy days,we should also let sunlight reach us.
39 Checking phones right after waking up may cause stress and negative thoughts, while waking up slowly with soft natural light is the complete opposite,which helps relax our brain,develop creativity and restore energy.As the say ing goes,“A day begins with morning.” 40
A.Our waking style greatly influences daily feelings.
B.Phone screens provide people with warm light every morning.
C.Thus,natural light cannot easily be replaced by man-made light.
D.Winter weather stops people from going out and enjoying nature.
E.Outdoor natural scenery and sunlight are helpful to reduce stress.
F.Slow sunrise light can create a comfortable start to the day for us.
G.Or rather,we are supposed to open curtains and spend more time outdoors.

The rise of AI has given new meaning to the idea that capitalism renews itself through

Daylight is exactly what our mind and body need to stay energetic and healthy,especially
during cold and dark winter months.Most people tend to pick up their phones the moment they
wake up,which is actually an unhealthy habit.We are supposed to start our day with plenty of
natural light.36
Natural light sends clear signals to our brains and helps regulate our circadian (
rhythm.Gentle morning light encourages the production of melatonin,a key hormone that
guarantees good sleep quality at night.It also helps reduce nighttime blood pressure and allows
us to enjoy deep and relaxing sleep.37 Related studies have proven that only after being
exposed to enough natural light are people more energetic and less troubled by sleeping problems.
Modern lifestyle keeps us indoors for most of the time,resulting in a serious lack of sunlight.
38 Besides,more sunlight means more vitamin D for us,which helps us ease depression and
anxiety.Even on cloudy days,we should also let sunlight reach us.
39 Checking phones right after waking up may cause stress and negative thoughts,
while waking up slowly with soft natural light is the complete opposite,which helps relax our
brain,develop creativity and restore energy.As the saying goes,"A day begins with morning."
40
A.Our waking style greatly influences daily feelings.
B.Phone screens provide people with warm light every morning
C.Thus,natural light cannot easily be replaced by man-made light
D.Winter weather stops people from going out and enjoying nature
E.Outdoor natural scenery and sunlight are helpful to reduce stress
F.Slow sunrise light can create a comfortable start to the day for us
G.Or rather,we are supposed to open curtains and spend more time outdoors.
