A
Spring breakers don’t need to spend a fortune to enjoy life in the sunshine for a week. U. S. News carefully
considered everything to bring you the best inexpensive spring break destinations.
Key West
This small island in the Florida Keys is known for its odd residents and best snorkeling（浮潜）opportunities.
While you’ll find plenty of spots for partying along rowdy Duval Street, you can also soak up some culture at the
Ernest Hemingway Home & Museum. Plus, Key West offers several budget-friendly vacation rentals, so you can
save your cash for bars and boat tours.
Panama City Beach
Panama City Beach is a tried-and-true Florida spring break location that is sure to please the masses. Scope
out a spot across the town’s 27 miles of white sand beaches to sunbathe, play volleyball or scan the horizon for
bottlenose dolphins. Hotel prices are reasonable if you book your accommodations in advance. Just note: This town
bans alcohol consumption on the beach during March, so you’ll have to enjoy your adult beverages elsewhere.
South Padre Island
With hotels offering nightly rates around $200 or less and DJs and celebrities holding court at nightclubs,
South Padre Island, Texas, is a hot spring break destination for college students. This South Texas local e is only
about 30 miles north of the U. S.-Mexico border, meaning you’ll get to enjoy warm weather without having to
leave the country. As an added bonus, the island offers a free public shuttle system, so budget-conscious travelers
won’t have to worry about spending money on a rental car.
21. What can tourists do in Key West?
A. Have a good surfing.
B. Bath e in the sun on the beach.
C. Throw a party anywhere on the island.
D. Visit the Ernest Hemingway Home & Museum.
22. What is special about Panama City Beach?

B. It is a perfect destination for spring vacation.
C. You can drink some wine on the beach in March.
D. You can see the bottlenose dolphins in person.

There comes a time when the old must give way to the new, and it is not possible to preserve everything from
our past as we move towards the future. Finding and keeping the right balance between progress and the protection
of cultural sites can be a big challenge.
Big challenges, however, can sometimes lead to great solutions. In the 1950s, the Egyptian government
wanted to build a new dam across the Nile in order to control floods, produce electricity, and supply water to more
farmers in the area. But the proposal led to protests. Water from the dam would likely damage a number of temples
and destroy cultural relics that were an important part of Egypt’s cultural heritage. After listening to different
voices, the government turned to the United Nations for help in 1959.
A committee was established to limit damage to the Egyptian buildings and prevent the loss of cultural relics.
The group asked for contributions from different departments and raised funds within the international community.
Experts investigated the issue, conducted several tests, and then made a proposal for how the buildings could be
saved. Finally, a document was signed, and the work began in 1960.
The project brought together governments and environmentalists from around the world. Temples and other
cultural sites were taken down piece by piece, and then moved and put back together again in a place where they
were safe from the water. In1961, German engineers moved the first temple. Over the next 20 years, thousands of
engineers and workers rescued 22 temples and countless cultural relics. Fifty countries donated nearly $80 million
to the project. When the project ended in 1980, it was considered a great success. Not only had the countries found
a path to the future that did not run over the relics of the past, but they had also learnt that it was possible for
countries to work together to build a better tomorrow.
The spirit of the Aswan Dam project is still alive today. If a problem seems too difficult for a single nation, the
global community can sometimes provide a solution.
24. What was the major concern regarding the construction of the new dam?
A. The damage to local farms.
B. The high cost of the construction.
C. The disapproval of local communities.
D. The potential harm to cultural remains.
25. How were the cultural sites rescued?
A. By rebuilding similar cultural sites.
B. By building fences around them.
C. By taking them down into pieces.
D. By removing and piecing them together again.
26. Which of the following best describes the Aswan Dam project?
A. International cooperation is not necessary for large-scale projects.
B. It is possible to achieve progress without sacrificing cultural heritage.
C. The opinions of experts should be ignored in favor of popular opinion.
D. Countries should always prioritize their own interests over global concerns.
27. What is the key to the success of the Aswan Dam project?
A. Trial and error. B. Adequate investment.
C. Global cooperation. D. Careful investigation.
C
Billions of people deal with a nail-biting habit at some point in their lives. Many will go to great lengths to try
to stop. And while not all of us are nail-biters, most of us do have a habit we’d like to kick. So what’s the best way
to break one?
Research shows that intentions alone often fail to lead to long-term behavior change. This isn’t to say you
can’t break a habit. Rather, by understanding the basis of habits, you can create better plans for changing them. For
example, we know habits are often affected by environments and routines. Lying in bed may cause you to endlessly
scroll through your phone, or watching TV on the couch may lead you to grab a sugary snack.
One of the most effective ways to manage behavior is to identify these locations or times of day. Then try to
modify them by changing your routine or creating obstacles that make it more difficult to perform the habit in that
space. Moving, switching jobs, or even starting a new schedule, are particularly great times to break a habit or build
a new one.
One 2005 study tracked university students’ exercising, reading, and TV-watching habits before and after they
transferred schools. When students were no longer around old environments and routines, their habits, even the
strong ones, significantly changed.
For behaviors like nail-biting, a practice called habit reversal training can be helpful. Developed by
psychologists in the 1970s, the aim is to change a habit by replacing it with another one that’s less detrimental. The
training requires you to analyze and understand your habit cues, so you can effectively step in at the right times. For
example, if you tend to bite your nails at work, keep a fidget toy at your desk in advance. Then, if a stressful email
comes in, use the toy when you feel the urge to bite your nails.
Breaking a habit takes time, so remember to give yourself grace and have patience through the process.
28. Why does the author mention “a nail-biting habit” in Para. 1?
A. To make a comparison. B. To make a conclusion.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To attract readers’ attention.
29. What is the best way to help us control our action?
A. Having intentions alone. B. Understanding the basis of habits.
C. Making practical plans. D. Adapting the environments or times.
30. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in Para.5 probably mean?
A. Harmful. B. Helpful.
C. Annoying. D. Time-consuming.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Difficulties in dealing with nail-biting. B. Significance of habit reversal training.
C. Useful tips on getting rid of a habit. D. Necessity of having grace and patience.
D
Predicting extreme weather events is a tricky business. Changing climate conditions have increased the
frequency of severe storms, floods, and heatwaves, along with larger wildfires. As a result, scientists are using
artificial intelligence（AI）techniques for more accurate forecasts that help to minimize damage and save lives.
Researchers at Pennsylvania State University have worked together with meteorologists （气象学家）to
analyze more than 50,000 weather satellite images to quickly identify storms. They found comma-shaped cloud
formations that often lead to severe weather such as hail, blizzards, high winds, and thunderstorms.
Computers were then taught using computer vision and machine learning to automatically detect these clouds
from satellite images, with almost 100 percent accuracy, in less than a minute. By refocusing meteorologists’
attention on potential storm cloud formation the AI tool helped predict 64 percent of severe weather events and beat
established detection systems.
Expensive supercomputers are often used to process vast amounts of data needed for accurate weather
prediction. But powerful Al methods can run on smaller computers. Climate risk and planning company ClimateAI
uses a technique to downscale global weather forecasts to a local scale, cutting down on costs and computing
power.
It uses a machine learning technique that pits two neural networks against each other. The neural networks -
designed to work like neurons connected in the brain-fight and train each other using global weather data until they
get a result.
Using this method ClimateAI researchers generate highly accurate and inexpensive local forecasts for hours or
days ahead. And because it is not as costly, it allows poorer countries affected by climate change to use forecasts to
change the way they farm, build bridges, roads, or homes, and adapt to extreme weather.
Average costs associated with extreme weather events in the United States have increased steadily since 1980.
These have costly impacts on cities’ basic services, infrastructure, housing, human livelihoods, and health. AI helps
us to calculate that risk and can be used as a preventive measure.
32. What can be inferred from Para.1?
A. Inaccurate forecasts minimize the destruction.
B. AI enhances accuracy in making weather prediction.
C. Less natural disasters are caused by climate change.
D. Changeable climate decreased the frequency of serious storms.
33. Which is NOT an advantage of AI tool?
A. Being steadier. B. Being cheaper.
C. Being quicker. D. Being more precise.
34. What is the function of Para.5?
A. To explain how ClimateAI works.
B. To introduce why AI methods are used.
C. To show where ClimateAI can be applied.
D. To identify what effects of the AI tool has.
35. What is the author’s attitude towards AI techniques in predicting extreme weather?
A. Critical. B. Approving.
C. Objective. D. Indifferent.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
For many, an act of kindness is its own reward. But Eva Hachey found her selflessness answered in ways she
could never have imagined.
For weeks, Eva Hachey had imagined adopting a golden Chihuahua with a white spot on its forehead. And
there he was, at her local SPCA in Fredericton, New Brunswick. The dog had been abused by his previous owners
and was timid. “He’d come to me, then back away and growl, then come back to me,” Hachey said. “After 15
minutes, the attendant picked him up and put him in my lap. He started giving me kisses. He stole my heart in that
moment.” She adopted the ten-month-old puppy on the spot and named him Bruno.
Bruno lived happily with Hachey and her 35-year-old daughter, Angel Hutchinson, for five months. Then, on
the evening of September 26, 2016, Hachey, 52 at the time, returned home as usual at 8 p. m. from her job as a
chiropractic assistant and office manager. And as usual, she ate supper in front of the TV in the living room.
Around 10: 30, a friend called, just as Bruno went into Hutchinson’s room to go to sleep for the night. Hachey and
her friend chatted a bit, and as Hachey hung up, she noticed the time was 11: 08.
“The next thing I remember was a male voice saying, ‘Eva, Eva, wake up.’ It was an emergency doctor,” said
Hachey. “I looked around, and the room was just full of people. And I said, ‘What are you doing in my house?’”
What they were doing was saving her life. By the time Hachey had hung up with her friend, Hutchinson was
fast asleep in her bedroom and Bruno was in his usual spot next to her under the blankets. Hachey believed Bruno
heard something odd then and possibly went to the living room to investigate.
注意：1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；
2. 请按如格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Unexpectedly, Bruno ran back to the bedroom and tried every means to awaken Hutchinson. _______
