Here are some popular springtime destinations across the US, whether you’re looking for wildflowers,
beaches, or simply a good mood.
Central California Coast
Late spring here bears pleasant weather and a show of wildflowers that ranks among the best in the world.
Head to Carrizo Plain National Monument to witness colorful wildflowers among the sand at Oceano Dunes. If you
turn your eyes oceanward, you may also catch the gray whales’ yearly journey, which begins in March as the giant
animals travel south to Baja California.
Utah’s national parks
Utah’s national park corridor (走廊) involves some of the country’s most characteristic protected areas.Capitol Reef, Canyonlands and Arches are a winning choice when it comes to spring travel. It is cool. You may
meet with snow and ice early in the season. Some places begin flowering, making for some striking scenery. Spring
is a busy time to visit most of these parks, so plan ahead if you’ve got your heart set on certain campgrounds and
hotels.
Chicago, IL
As soon as the snow melts (融化), the city comes alive with social energy. Restaurants along the lake and river
begin putting out their chairs and folks take to the lakefront for walks and bike rides. Baseball season also begins
with the White Sox’s home opener in late March and the Cubs’ in early April. A visit in March may still be a little
chilly, but it’s also when Chicago comes alive with its famous St Patrick’s Day celebration — the city bursts with
parades.
Colorado Rockies
The Colorado Rockies experience is a blessing for the skiers. Snowstorms on warmer sunny afternoons make
for beautiful days. Plus, early spring usually has the deepest snow of the year and fewer crowds than the January to
February high season. Brechenridge is known for its long-lasting ski season, often staying open until May.
21. What features Central California Coast?
.
A Beautiful flowers. B. Changeable weather.
C. Diverse sea animals. D. Unique sand buildings.
22. What can a visitor enjoy in the destination full of social energy?
A. Taking bus tours. B. Playing basketball.
C. Visiting cultural sites. D. Experiencing a festival.
23. What do Utah’s national parks and Colorado Rockies have in common?

C. Camping is the most popular. D. They are great for snow seekers.

In 1922, aviator (飞行员) Bessie Coleman became the first African American woman to stage a public flight
in America. Her high-flying skills always amazed her audience.
Bessie was born on January 26, 1892, in Atlanta, Texas. She was one of 13 children to Susan and George
Coleman. Her father, who was of Native American and African American descent (血统), left the family when
Bessie was a child, never to come back. Her mother struggled to support the family. She ensured the presence of
her children at a traveling library. At 12 years old, Bessie began attending the Missionary Baptist Church in Texas.
After graduating, she embarked on a journey to Oklahoma to attend Oklahoma Colored Agricultural and Normal
University, where she completed only one term for the shortage of money.In 1915, at 23 years old, Bessie moved to Chicago, where she lived with her brothers. Not long after her move
to Chicago, she began listening to and reading stories of World War I pilots, which excited her interest in aviation.
In 1921, Bessie broke barriers and became the world’s first Black woman to earn a pilot’s license (执照).
Because flying schools in the United States didn’t allow black girls like her to enter, she took it upon herself to
learn French and move to France to achieve her goal. So hard did Bessie work that after only seven months, Bessie
earned her license from France’s well known Caudron Brother’s School of Aviation.
After returning to the U. S. in 1922, due to her exceptional tricks, Bessie became the first African American
woman in America to make a public flight. She also raised money to start a school to train African American
aviators, including girls, hoping to afford them opportunities that were not then available in America.
On April 30, 1926, Bessie was tragically killed at only 34 years old in an accident during a trial for a flight
show. Bessie remains a pioneer of women in the field of aviation.
24. What can be learnt from Paragraph 2?
A. Bessie moved a lot with her family.
B. Bessie enjoyed a comfortable childhood.
C. Bessie’s mother valued children’s education.
D. Bessie’s father was the bread earner of the family.
25. What inspired Bessie to learn to fly a plane?
A. The stories of pilots. B. Her major in university.
C. Her brothers’ encouragement. D. Her family’s income condition.
26. What was typical in America at that time according to the text?
A. Inequality in sex and race. B. Countless penniless families.
C. Underdeveloped flight training. D. Harmonious human relationship.
27. Which of the following can be used to describe Bessie?
A. Proud and skillful. B. Brave and caring.
C. Honest and modest. D. Generous and humorous.

Sweetgreen, a California-based restaurant chain, has made its latest innovation public, the Infinite Kitchen, at
its Willis Tower location in Chicago. This automated system transforms the salad-making process by combining
speed, accuracy, and freshness, offering an improved dining experience for customers.
The Infinite Kitchen, first introduced in select locations, uses a futuristic producing line of robotic chefs to
craft salads like Kale Caesar and Hummus Crunch with exacting standards. Ingredients are divided, mixed, and
maintained at ideal temperatures, ensuring consistency and quality. While robots handle the preparation, humanteam members manage machine refilling and finishing touches.
Chicago’s Willis Tower restaurant is the first to adopt a hybrid model, operating both traditional and
automated salad lines. This approach allows Sweetgreen to refine the Infinite Kitchen system while maintaining
the personal touch of human interactions. The automated kitchen also promises increased productivity, with a seven
percent reduction in workforce costs reported across participating locations.
Sweetgreen, founded in 2007, has grown into a national chain with 245 locations across the U. S., aiming to
improve fast food with fresh, healthy options. By next year, Sweetgreen plans to apply the technology to all new
restaurants.
The cost of installing (安装) the system, about $450,000-$550,000 per location, is seen as a contribution in
future savings. Sweetgreen co-founder Nicolas Jammet highlights that no employees have been laid off due to
automation; instead, they have been rearranged to customer-focused roles.
Despite challenges like reduced office lunch crowds in Chicago in the past three years, the Willis Tower
location continues to serve thousands of customers daily. The Infinite Kitchen aims to handle peak-hour demand
more effectively, speeding up service while maintaining high-quality meals.
As Sweetgreen looks to improve this technology, it’s preparing the way for a cooperative future between
humans and machines, aiming to “reimagine the fast food experience”. Robots deliver speed and accuracy, while
humans focus on providing a friendly, welcoming environment.
28. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Advantages of robotic chefs.
.
B Human’s role in the automated system.
C. Operating mode of the Infinite Kitchen.
D. Characteristics of salad produced by machine.
29. What does the underlined word “refine” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Repair. B. Upgrade. C. Recycle. D. Distinguish.
30. What have happened to the staff in Sweetgreen according to Nicolas Jammet?
A. Their salaries have gone up.
B. They have been out of work.
C. Their working intensity has increased.
D. They have new tasks in the restaurant.
31. What is the future of Sweetgreen probably like?
A. Promising. B. Demanding. C. Unchanging. D. Disturbing.
DIn recent years, second-hand shopping has gained popularity in the UK, particularly around Christmas time, as
more people choose to give pre-loved gifts. Charity shops, such as those run by Oxfam, have witnessed a
significant increase in customers. One busy afternoon in London’s Marylebone High Street, the Oxfam shop beat
the upper class retailers (零售商) in foot traffic, with shoppers looking for affordable yet meaningful presents.
Ollie Mead, who oversees shop displays for Oxfam in London, notes that since September, there’s been a
notable rise in people’s option for second-hand gifts. Oxfam stores offer a range of items, from toys to clothes, all
priced much lower than new goods. This tendency is part of a broader change, with UK consumers expected to
spend £2 billion on second-hand Christmas gifts this year, according to a report by Vinted and Retail Economics.
Apart from cost-of-living pressures, sustainability (可持续性) concerns have been a more important motivator
of this change. Many shoppers, like doctor Ed Burdett, are motivated by both the money savings and the desire to
give “things another life”. “It’s nice to spend less, and to know that it goes to a good place rather than a high street
shop,” Burdett explains.
Wayne Hemingway, co-founder of Charity Super Mkt, which places charity shops in untaken retail spaces,
says second-hand shopping at Christmas has become more mainstream. He notes that when he started selling
second-hand clothes decades ago, sales would drop during Christmas, but now his shops are seeing a 20% increase
in sales, similar to those of new stores.
Young consumers, especially those interested in sustainable fashion and the recycling economy, are firing this
movement. While some people, like 56-year-old Jennifer Odibo, still prefer to buy new items for Christmas, experts
like sociology researcher Tetyana Solovey see a switch in awareness. She believes that reusing items could become
a sustainable tradition, offering a fresh approach to holiday gifting.
Although some still view second-hand gifts as unconventional, many are embracing the idea of giving new life
to second-hand items, making it a more popular and sustainable choice this Christmas season.
32. Why is the Oxfam shop in London’s Marylebone High Street mentioned?
A. To explain the reasons for exchanging gifts.
B. To highlight its location in downtown London.
C. To show people’s preference for second-hand items.
D. To reflect people’s shopping habits during Christmas.
33. What is a greater driver of the change in this shopping practice?
A. Economic stress. B. Sustainability awareness.
C. Advertisements of retailers. D. Good quality of second-hand items.
34. What can we learn about Jennifer Odibo?
A. He prefers advanced stuff. B. He sticks to traditional practice.C. He jumps at new shopping ideas. D. He has a passion for gift exchange.
35. What is the suitable title of the text?
A. Innovative Approach of Promoting Sales.
B. Popularity of Leading a More Affordable Life.
C. Growing Tendency of Second-Hand Christmas Gifts.
D. New Life of Charity Shops Fired by Young Customers.

67. 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。
After the deadly hurricane Helene in October, Schenker’s house survived Helene well, but her friend Mary’s
entire home was destroyed. Schenker and Mary went to check out Mary’s home. They spent about four hours
digging through the mud, looking for any belongings of Mary’s.
During that process, Schenker found five individual photographs. She laid out the photos on the ground,
hoping they would be reunited with people. But thinking about the photos left behind kept Schenker up that night.
“They are little photographs that miraculously made it through all of this and now are sitting there. What if it rains
or what if the wind blows and they aren’t able to be reunited with their families? That would be such a great pity,”
she thought to herself.
So, Schenker went back the next day to get the photos and ended up finding more.
“It was a photo of a middle school basketball team. It was a photo of a beloved dog. I found a wedding photo
of a young couple,” she said to a reporter later. “You take photos because you have a moment you want to
remember and so, they are really special.”
Schenker took them home, dusted them off and categorized them in folders for safekeeping until they could be
returned to their owners.
Schenker found about 100 photos herself, but picked up about another 100 from other people who found them,
including search and rescue teams.
Realizing how many important family memories she now had in her possession, she started the Photos from
Helene Instagram page — a virtual lost-and-found. She hoped people would recognize the photos on her page and
that would help reunite them with their rightful owners.
The Instagram page is filled with school portraits, Christmas cards, images of childhood friends and families
on vacation. In one photo, a young girl was standing in front of a Christmas tree with a big smile.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Nancy recognized the photo of her standing before a Christmas tree and made comments under it.
