The owners of a Dairy Queen in Phoenix remain puzzled—and slightly amused—as to why someone would steal their huge red spoon that decorates their restaurant.
“What are they going to do with such a huge spoon ” Puja Kalra, one of the owners, said on Wednesday. “But getting another spoon made, delivered and then fixed would cost us over $7,000.”
Puja Kalra and her husband, Raman Kalra, said the spoon was stolen sometime between late Friday and early Saturday. The 4.5-meter-tall spoon stood against the side of the building with the handle fixed to the wall. Their security camera caught two people taking it down very quickly and carrying it away on a motorbike. The couple reported the theft to Phoenix police and no suspects have been identified yet.
The Kalras, who are Indian immigrants, moved to Phoenix from Minnesota in 2007 and decided to join the fast food chain, Dairy Queen, which now owns 34 restaurants across the US that carry a standardized menu and decoration. This Phoenix one is the only Dairy Queen with the towering red spoon.
“With the spoon big enough to hold a small child, it was a popular photo spot,” Puja Kalra said. “Now, it looks empty and incomplete without that spoon.”
Meanwhile, they’re trying some creative strategies to spread the word about the spoon theft. Workers at the Phoenix location will start wearing “Where’s my spoon ” T-shirts with a red spoon and the Dairy Queen logo (徽标). They’ll also send out similar posters all around Phoenix.
The reward One Blizzard treat from every flavor of the standard summer menu.
In all seriousness, the couple would love to have the red spoon suddenly be returned. “We appeal to the persons. This spoon is too big to eat anything,” Rarnan Kalra said. “We want you to bring it back. We will not ask any questions.”
Dairy Queen is known for sending out free samples of their featured Blizzard ice cream in summer to promote sales.

Down the Central Valley in California, the roads are still destroyed by rainwater and farms are still flooded. But the benefits of the state’s destructively wet winter are on full display: a sea of colorful wild flowers spreading across the landscape like a wonderful painting.
“This is definitely one of the benefits to a wet year like we just had,” said Gabe Garcia, the head of the Bureau of Land Management. “Last year, this area looked like a lifeless desert. Now the flowers reach my knees.”
But the new life comes at the expense of thousands of Californians who have suffered in recent months. Estimates for economic damages from a series of storms in early January alone are in the billions of dollars. The state has already declared states of emergencies for 47 counties since the start of February.
“When you’re driving through the Central Valley and see water spread across the landscape, you’ll think of this as a really negative thing. However, I try to look at it as opportunities,” said Carson Jeffres, a researcher at the University of California. “It is an opportunity to show the value of wetlands in flood control during wet years like this. Most important of all, it is an opportunity to see what once it was.”
For centuries, Native Americans have learned to live in harmony with nature. But the landscape has been dramatically changed. Most wetlands have been long cut from the rivers and streams that nourished (滋养) them. Snow water from the southern Sierra Nevada mountains is channeled to a vast network of farms. The big floods are just recreating the wetlands that were here historically.
“This year, the few remaining wetlands are getting their share of water up and down the Central Valley, helping reduce the flood risks to the towns and farms that are slowly displacing them.” he continued.
28. What can we learn about the Central Valley in California
A. It was extraordinarily dry in history.
B. It seemed like a lifeless desert last year.
C. It is usually very wet in winter and spring.
D. It is known for colorful flowers every year.
29. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. The flower. B. The wetland. C. The desert. D. The flood.
30. What does Carson Jeffres mainly talk about in the last paragraph
A. The wetlands’ great value. B. The damages caused by floods.
C. The mismanagement of the farms. D. The sufferings for Native Americans.
31. What does the author most likely want to tell us
A. It is a good time to visit California now.
B. We should see bad things in a positive light.
C. We should learn to live in harmony with nature.
D. More lands should be returned to Native Americans.
D
Lacking connection can increase the risk for early death to levels comparable to smoking 15 cigarettes a day, according to a report, released by the US Surgeon General on Tuesday. The report also notes that about half of US adults are experiencing measurable levels of loneliness.
“The consequences of loneliness can be devastating, including a 29% increased risk of heart disease, a 32% increased risk of stroke, and a 50% increased risk of developing dementia (痴呆) for older adults,” it warns.
“In the last few decades, we’ve just lived through a dramatic pace of change. We move more, we change jobs more often, and we are living with technology that has greatly changed how we interact with each other. We can feel lonely even if we have a lot of people around us, because loneliness is about the quality of our connections,” said Surgeon General Dr. Murthy. “Millions of people in America are struggling in the shadows, and that’s not right. That’s why we issued this report to pull back the curtain on a struggle that too many people are experiencing.”
The study finds that, across age groups, people spent less time with each other in person than two decades ago and this was most obvious in young people aged 15~24 who had 70% less social interaction with their friends.
“I know that for some kids, being online has been a way to find community at a time when many of them have not been able to,” Murthy said. “What we need to protect against, though, are the elements of technology, and social media in particular, that seek to maximize the amount of time that our children are spending online at the expense of their in-person interactions.”
The report calls on workplaces, schools, community organizations, parents and other people to make changes that will strengthen the country’s connectedness. It advises people to join community groups and put down their phones when they’re catching up with friends. It also asks employers to think carefully about their remote work policies.
32. Which of the following best explains”devastating”underlined in paragraph 2
A. Serious. B. Beneficial, C. Lasting. D. Unavoidable.
33. Why do many Americans feel lonely according to Dr. Murthy
A. They are too busy to see their friends in person.
B. They fail to build up high-quality connections.
C. Most of them have to live alone or work remotely.
D. Many of them do not have access to the technology.
34. What does Dr. Murthy most probably suggest lonely children do
A. Stay away from digital technology.
B. Make best use of the time spent online.
C. Don’t find community on the Internet.
D. Avoid getting addicted to social media.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. The American Lifestyle Can Be Very Bad for Our Health
B. A Study Says That Americans Are the Loneliest People on the Planet
C. A New Report Calls for Combined Efforts to Handle the Loneliness in the US
D. Smoking Can Be Far More Harmful for Our Health Than Lacking Connections

There are many body languages. One of them is eye contact, which may have completely different meanings in different cultures across the globe.
In Western countries, it is a good thing to maintain eye contact with the speaker during a conversation, It is especially true in Spain, France, Germany and the United States. 36 . In addition, if you avoid eye contact, you’ll be considered to be unconfident.
Although all Middle East cultures cannot be grouped into one class, they do have similarities in their rules for the appropriateness of eye contact. 37 . On the other hand, intense eye contact between those of the same sex—especially between men—can mean “I am telling you the truth! I am genuine in what I say!”
38 . So it is more appropriate to have only brief eye contact in the Asian countries. It is particularly important between people of different social status. For example, if a Japanese man avoids looking someone in the eyes, he is not showing a lack of interest or self-confidence. 39
Learn how to use eye contact and other body languages wisely so that you are considered as a polite person. 40
A. It is often considered more polite to have only brief eye contact
B. Then you can better connect with people in a culture that is foreign to you
C. Instead, he is being polite and respectful according to the Japanese culture
D. In Asian culture, extended eye contact can be taken as a challenge of authority
E. Eye contact is good, but nonstop staring can make the speaker feel uncomfortable
F. On the one hand, only brief eye contact is permitted between a man and a woman
G. In these countries, you’ll be thought to lack interest if you look away from the speaker

“What’s that noise ” Meg asked her eight-year-old daughter, Haley. Looking down at Haley’s shoes, Meg realized that they were too old.
Meg and Haley were on their way home from school. It had just stopped raining, but water on the road had damaged the girl’s shoes.
Meg immediately took her daughter to a store to buy her a new pair of sneakers. Although she just had enough money for groceries, she thought getting Haley a new pair of shoes was more important.
“That one, yes, those pink shoes beside the blue shoes,” Meg instructed the shop assistant.
“How about these ” Meg heard Haley say.
Turning around, she saw Haley checking shoes in the section just for boys. Meg hesitated and approached her daughter.
“Mom, I want these limited-edition sneakers for Buddy. He always tells me how he wishes to wear such shoes,” Haley said.
Meg was shocked. Not only was she unable to afford two pairs of shoes, but she wondered why Haley was interested in getting her classmate Buddy a new pair.
“Buddy is from a very poor family. Poorer than us. His shoes are torn and ugly. Everybody laughs at him. Please, can we buy these shoes for him You can buy mine later,” Haley added.
Meg thought for a while and decided it would be best if she bought her daughter shoes for now. “You will be sick if you keep wearing your wet, torn shoes. I’m sorry, honey, but you need a new pair,” Meg insisted.
Haley sighed heavily and agreed. She was not excited to see the new pair of sneakers her mom had bought for her.
As Meg and Haley left, Bob, the shoe store owner who knew Meg well, walked to the limited-edition sneakers and sighed, too. He had overheard everything and knew what it was like to be poor. When he was a little boy, he had also been laughed at for his ugly shoes and it was his own experience that had inspired him to own a shoe store that sold footwear for people from all walks of life.
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。
Bob decided to help Buddy but didn’t know how.
Haley stayed up very late that night.

W: Hello everyone! I’m very happy to be invited to this program today. I’d like to share with you my impression of Paris, Actually, there’s something interesting to see in every corner of Paris: the old buildings, neighborhoods, and the historical monuments, The weather’s been great too, cool and dry. Some aspects of life here are different from those in the United States. The most obvious thing is that there is much more activity in the streets than in a typical US city. People gather together in open markets, cafes, parks, and squares. Then, of course, there’s the food. Food seems to be more important here. It’s beautifully shown in windows and markets, Everything is fresher and better tasting than at home, I’ve gained five pounds since I arrived, There are a few things that bother me, though, I’m still having a hard time with the language. People speak very fast and it’s hard to get them to repeat things. People, in general, are less warm here and it’s hard to make friends. I guess that can be true in any big city in a new country, but the French do seem to be less friendly than the people back home.

第一节
One possible version:
AI and English Learning
In order to explore the impact of AI on English learning and exchange ideas about its advantages and disadvantages, our class had a discussion on “AI and English Learning” last week.
Many students stressed the potential benefits of AI, such as providing more interesting English materials and instant feedback. However, some also expressed concerns about homework dishonesty.
Most important of all, this discussion inspired us to consider seriously the role of AI in English learning and how we can strike a balance between reliable traditional learning methods and creating engaging learning environments.
