I was born in Mexico City, and raised in San Luis Potosi and Monterrey. I started learning how to cook by watching my mother and my grandmothers. My passion for cooking started at the age of 14 in Monterrey. Then, at age 17, I was contracted to work in New Orleans and cooked for three years. After that, I moved to Houston in 1990, where I fell in love and then had my first two beautiful children. We moved to Richmond in 1995 due to the unemployment of work in Houston.
Living in Richmond, I saw many opportunities come up. I was one of the first ones in Richmond to open a food trailer (活动房屋) business on Jefferson Davis Highway in 2000. We were at this location for about two years, and then we decided to open a restaurant nearby on the same road towards the market. We moved to that location in 2007. Our business was going very well until my husband died, which forced us to close our restaurant.
After sadly closing the business, I worked at Tio Pablo as the head cook. I was there for approximately 3 - 4 years, and then headed to Rancho T. I later started working a second job with Commercial Taphouse. After being with Taphouse from 2018, I worked until it closed in 2022. I then saw the opportunity to open my business again. I said to myself, “It’s time to reopen my business back up after so long. ”
So now you can find me cooking seven days a week aboard my own food truck, El Taconazo, parked at 3227 Broad Rock Blvd. We have various dishes from tacos to hot, delicious soups like menudo on Sundays, and posole. Anyway, the traditional Mexican food I cook always attracts a crowd.
I do my work with passion. I invariably give my 100% to ensure that my customers are happy and come back and visit us. My business may be small, but what makes it big is my happy
customers returning.

Global travel is getting busier and busier, and this begs a question: Is there such a thing as an off-season anymore?
Recently, ForwardKeys, a Spain-based travel data and analysis company, collected some numbers in three of the world’s most popular beach destinations: Thailand, Hawaii and the Maldives. Here’s the math: take the total number of tourists in a year and divide that figure by 12, which works out to an average of around 8% per month. Then, you can create a graph (图表) to see which months are higher or lower than that average.
“In Thailand, low season typically lasts from April to September with April and May being really hot,” says Olivier Ponti, a director at ForwardKeys. “During this low season, the tourist volume each month covers over 7% of the annual total. That means very, very little seasonality.”Arguably, the biggest single factor affecting what we know as “peak season” travel is weather. A 2023 survey from the European Travel Commission reported that European travelers cited weather as their number-one factor in deciding where to go on vacation, with 8% of respondents saying they were concerned about extreme weather in European destinations.
Climate may be an important factor in booking a holiday, but it’s not the only one. ForwardKeys’ Ponti, a father of two, notes that many travelers have to plan their trips at the same
time because they’re working around school schedules.
But every family’s situation is different. For those whose kids are grown or who don’t have kids at all, there’re more opportunities to travel.
Ann Woodward, a childfree American, makes a point of learning school schedules in her area so that she can plan around them. “I’m generally trying not to go to touristic attractions during those periods. I call it hiding,” she laughs. Woodward spent much of her youth traveling and has already checked off many of the big places that attract the most crowds, which means she can now go to less busy areas during an off-season. “For me, the challenge is about finding the joy in those low seasons,” she says.
8．What does Olivier Ponti mean?
A．Tourists find ways to fight overtourism.
B．Off- season travel doesn’t exist anymore.
C．More tourists enjoy traveling in low seasons.
D．Peak-season travel is getting uncontrollable.
9．What is the most important factor in European’s booking a holiday according to the 2023 survey?
A．School plans.B．Economic budget.
C．Technology.D．Climate.
10．Why is Ann Woodward mentioned in the text?
A．She is a travel enthusiast.B．She likes busier areas.
C．She has flexible schedules.D．She has unique travel habits.
11．What does the underlined phrase “checked off” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A．Visited.B．Avoided.C．Examined.D．Remembered.
If a stranger knocked on your door asking for using your phone, would you help? How about lending them five dollars for the bus, if they said they’d return and pay you back?
Nowadays, many people find it hard to trust strangers. A recent study found that our ability to trust strangers may be more than just a social or psychological trait (特征) — it could be rooted in our DNA．This is important, as it turns out that trusting people might actually live longer and healthier lives compared to more skeptical people.
Two main theories have appeared to explain why some people are more trusting than others. One suggests trust is a stable trait shaped by early life experiences. The other thinks it’s influenced by a person’s ongoing evaluation of the social environment. We can easily imagine that the answer to the question “Would you say that most people can be trusted? ” would depend on whether you’d been robbed the day before or if you’d had your dropped wallet returned.
This is where the recent research comes in. A professor of Lund University, Edgerton and his coworkers have been doing research about trust. In their most recent study, involving 33, 882 Danish blood donors, their analyses identified a single gene (基因), PLPP4, which was strongly associated with the trait of trusting others. They discovered that the PLPP4 gene explained 6% of the variation in social trust within the study population. If you take two people who have similar education and life experiences, this gene alone could account for 6% of the difference in how much they trust others.
They suspect that the PLPP4 gene may somehow soften our “fight-or-flight” survival mechanism. If our fight-or-flight system is less intense when we encounter new people, it makes sense that tending to trust others could have huge health benefits. Indeed, if trusting others acts as something against stress, it may lower the risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease.
As people continue to uncover the mysteries of trust, one thing is clear: Understanding its genetic roots may hold the key to developing healthier communities in the world.
12．What might affect people’s trust levels according to the existing theories?
A．Their childhood habits.B．Their social experiences.
C．Their personal abilities.D．Their communication skills.
13．What does the recent study focus on?
A．The ways to develop survival ability.B．The mental cause of trust.
C．The connection between trust and a gene.D．The features of different genes. 14．What does the text say about trusting others?
A．It could bring health benefits.B．It helps to develop the world faster.
C．It lessens the intense stress in work.D．It causes better survival mechanisms. 15．What might be the best title for the text?
A．Theories That Explain Why You Are Trusted
B．Experiences Can Make You Grow Dependable
C．A Link Between Biology and Social Science
D．A Gene Influences How Trusting You Are
Thanks to scientific and technological developments, billions of people today are living a better life than that of kings of centuries ago. 16 After all, despite all the progress we've made, the world faces many challenges in the 21st century: climate change, poverty and cancer, etc.
Our best hope of dealing with these challenges is to make science and technology more productive. One practical way to achieve this is through the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and laboratory automation. AI systems already possess superhuman scientific powers. They can remember massive volumes of facts and learn from huge datasets. 17 These powers are highly praised even by human scientists.
18 Robots can now carry out most of the laboratory tasks humans can. Then there’re AI Scientists: AI systems integrated with laboratory automations that are capable of carrying out the closed-loop (闭环) automation of scientific research. These systems automatically generate hypotheses (假设) to explain observations, design experiments to test these hypotheses, interpret the results and then repeat the cycle.
Within the last year or so, the world has been astonished by the success of Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, which have achieved ground-breaking performance on a wide range of conversation- based tasks. 19 This is associated with their capacity to read all the scientific literature and act as a source of scientific knowledge.
However, the application of AI to science has the potential for harm. As a step towards preventing this, some scientists have prepared the Stockholm Declaration on AI for Science.
20 They urge all scientists working with AI to sign.
A．They can carry out perfect logical reasoning.
B．Today, laboratory automation is increasingly advancing.
C．AI has the potential to transform the very process of thinking.
D．These LLMs show great potential for super-charging AI Scientists.
E．There’re now about 100 AI Scientists worldwide, working in various areas.
F．However, it is deeply surprising how little appreciated this astonishing fact is.
G．This commits the signees to the responsible and healthy development of AI for science.

47．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。

The crowd was shouting in the dark. There were hundreds of young people, teenagers and young adults, and most were boys. Then there was Tony Hawk, the world’s most beloved skateboarder. Tony and his fellows arrived like rock stars at our local skate park to perform their most appealing moves. They would twist (扭动) and throw themselves in circles, only to make brilliant landings on skateboards that seemed to be part of their bodies.
All the kids adored Tony Hawk. They studied his every move and spent hours practicing the masterful techniques he’d perfected. And I was a bystander, a mother who spent countless nights at these skate parks, watching as my child and the other kids took to the air. We were a homeschooling family, so time was ours. I watched in awe as flying children moved themselves up toward the heavens, hoping they might touch the sky.
The night when Tony showed up with his fellow athletes to perform for his fans might be one of the most memorable evenings of my life. Immediately after their amazing presentation, Tony pushed his way through the massive crowd because it was the only route he could take to
exit the skate park. Excited children and adults followed him, asking him to sign their boards. I noticed my son’s eager eyes and I was determined to get Tony’s signature on my son’s skateboard, no matter what it took. I held the board tightly under my arm. Working my way down the steep incline (陡坡), I strategically plotted my path, departing from my husband and son. There was no time for errors.
I had to reach Tony for my little boy — my little skateboarder, one of Tony’s most adoring fans, who pushed my son to stick to skating through his online videos when my son wanted to give up. I pushed through masses of people; there was no stopping me. It was a tight squeeze (挤), with the crowd crying for his attention. Finally, I pushed right through with an inner determination that seemed to come from a power greater than myself.
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。

As I approached Tony, I shouted as loudly as my lungs would permit, “TONY, FOR MY SON!”
