Spring Destinations for a Colorful Visit
The weather warms, rain falls, and colorful flower blooms across the United States. From national parks where rare flowers grow to city centers lined with blooming trees, travelers are in store for colorful surprises. If you’re feeling the travel itch this spring but aren’t sure where to go, check out the ideas below.
Washington, DC
Washington DC is home to some of the best cherry blossom displays outside of Japan. You’ll also be able to enjoy public gardens as you wander through the city. In May, the city also hosts a Passport DC event that lets you learn about embassies, international food, and cultural performances.
Macon, Georgia
Macon, Georgia, has a reputation for cherry blossoms too. The city hosts the International Cherry Blossom Festival each year, which includes live concerts, a parade and more festivities. Macon is also a great spot for a small town adventure. Nearby, you’ve got hiking at Ocmulgee Mounds National Historic Park.
Death Valley National Park
Death Valley National Park isn’t a total wasteland. In fact, 2026 is the first superbloom in the park since 2016. The year’s abundant rainfall has led to ideal conditions for wildflowers in the park, making it one of the most unique and impactful times to visit the park. You’ll see scores of desert gold, desert five-sport, and other native species, which are rare desert flowers that not many people get to see in their lifetime.
Pinnacles National Park
The vast majority of wildflowers in Pinnacles bloom from March to May, giving you a short window to see California’s most popular flowers, including the California Poppy, the state’s official flower, along with unique native species like lupines and wild hyacinth. The Park is a fragile ecosystem, meaning it’s recommended that visitors stick to marked paths and avoid picking wildflowers.
21. What can visitors do in Washington, DC
A. Watch local carnivals. B. Explore public gardens freely.
C. Create global food in person. D. Admire the earliest cherry blossom shows.
22. What can we learn about Death Valley National Park
A. It is highly suitable for native species.
B. Wildflowers grow very well every year here.
C. Desert flowers are easily accessible to people.
D. Plenty of rain contributed to the growth of wildflowers.
23. What does the author suggest visitors do in Pinnacles National Park
A.Visit the park after May. B. Pick beautiful wild flowers.
C. Follow officially arranged routes. D. Enjoy the state’s official flower.
B
In the kitchen of Oakland restaurant Town Fare, chef and owner Michele McQueen prepared for an upcoming reservation. “It’s going to bring a big awareness to Town Fare,” she said. She cooked up her famous shrimp and grits, hoping to amaze a former NBA Champion, Festus Ezeli. “Mmm!” Ezeli said, after his first bite. Based upon several reactions like that, her hope became reality.
Through his social media channel “Festus Feasts,” Ezeli aims to give a leg up to local restaurants. It started as a fun hobby. But one of his early posts about a small restaurant actually made a real impact on that business.
“I got to play basketball for a living.” he said. “This community and many others, have really supported me to get to the position I’m in right now. I couldn’t have dreamt of this life. I want to give back.” So, how does he find the restaurants
Basically people recommend places. He and his team will reach out and go there. He’ll typically talk with the restaurant’s owner. “Tell me about having a restaurant in Oakland,” Ezeli asked McQueen. She says one of her challenges is that Town Fare is located inside the Oakland Museum, and sometimes people don’t know it exists. She believes Ezeli’s visit will help people learn about her restaurant.
Adam Mesnick, an owner of a sandwich restaurant in San Francisco, says the “Festus Feasts effect” is real. “You feel the locals come in and say, ’Hey, I saw Ezeli in here.’ I can imagine we’ll feel a lift for a long time coming.”
Ezeli never thought his love for food and for the region would lead to this kind of help, but he’s grateful it has. He said, “The least we can do is support the people who are doing a good job. That’s all I’m trying to do.”
24. Why did Michele McQueen cook her famous shrimp and grits
A. To impress a well-known figure.
B. To prepare for a cooking competition.
C. To attract more visitors to the museum.
D. To celebrate her restaurant’s new menu.
25. What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. manage. B. promote. C. reserve. D. select.
26. Why does the author mention Adam Mesnick in the passage
A. To prove the powerful influence of “Festus Feasts”.
B. To explain how to manage a restaurant successfully.
C. To introduce another popular local sandwich restaurant.
D. To show local customers love talking about famous stars.
27. What words can best describe Festus Ezeli according to the passage
A. Modest and creative.
B. Generous and ambitious.
C. Caring and responsible.
D. Considerate and humorous.
C
When rhinovirus (鼻病毒), the most common cause of the common cold, enters the nasal passages (鼻腔), the cells lining the nose activate a wide range of defenses designed to limit the virus and stop it from spreading. In a study published in the journal Cell Press Blue, researchers show that this early response plays a key role in whether a person becomes sick and how serious their symptoms become. The findings suggest that the body’s reaction to rhinovirus often matters more than the virus itself.
To closely observe how nasal cells fight the virus, the research team made a lab model of human nasal tissue. They grew nasal cells for four weeks and let the top of the tissue be exposed to air. Using this model, the researchers were able to monitor how thousands of individual cells respond together.
They also examined what happened when the cellular sensors (细胞传感器) responsible for finding rhinovirus were prevented. When nasal cells find rhinovirus, they release interferons (干扰素) that activate defenses, making it difficult for the virus to reproduce and spread. If interferon activity begins quickly, the virus can be controlled early. When the researchers held back this response, the virus spread rapidly, affecting many more cells and causing significant damage.
The team notes that their model includes fewer cell types than are present in the human body. During the real situation, additional cells, including immune cells, are drawn to the site to help fight the virus. The researchers say that understanding how these additional cell types in the nasal passages and airways influence the body’s response to rhinovirus will be an important focus of future work.
“The study advances the theory that the body’s responses to a virus, rather than the virus itself, are hugely important in determining whether or not a virus will cause illness and how serious the illness will be,” Foxman, a professor in Yale School of Medicine says, “Focusing on the response is an exciting way for novel cures.”
28. What did researchers do with the lab model
A. They prevented the entry of the virus.
B. They examined the spread of the virus.
C. They added interferons against the virus.
D. They watched nasal cells’ reaction to the virus.
29. What will the researchers probably centre on next
A. Studying how other cells affect responses.
B. Adding more cell types to their lab model.
C. Developing new medicines to kill rhinovirus.
D. Exploring ways to draw immune cells quickly.
30. What is Foxman’s attitude towards the study on rhinovirus
A. Critical. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. New Cures For Illnesses. B. Effective Ways Against Cold.
C. Nasal Cells Control Viruses. D. Early Reaction Fights Rhinovirus.
D
Monitoring city plant health traditionally requires lots of physical labor and plant knowledge. With cities becoming larger worldwide and city environments becoming more challenging, keeping track of plant health has also become more difficult. Could artificial intelligence (AI) hold the key to addressing this challenge
Now a joint team led by Professor Umezu’s Laboratory at Waseda University and Professor Shiojiri’s at Ryukoku University developed “Plant Doctor”, an artificial intelligence-based tool for monitoring plant health. It is a hybrid AI system that automatically discovers city tree health through video footage captured by ordinary cameras.
“Plant Doctor” combines two cutting-edge machine vision programs (算法) — YOLOv8 and DeepSORT — to identify and track individual leaves across video frames. The goal of these programs is to ensure that only the best images for each leaf are chosen for further processing. Then, a third program, called DeepLabV3Plus, performs detailed image segmentation (图像分割) to precisely judge leaf damage. The system can automatically find diseased areas on individual leaves, such as spots caused by bacteria, pests, and fungi.
One of the most attractive aspects of this approach is cost efficiency. The system can deal with video footage collected by countless cameras, turning routine services into opportunities to gather data without investing huge resources. Moreover, by using images rather than actual branches and leaves, “Plant Doctor” minimizes the damage to the plants in the process. The research team confirm the system using footage of city plants in Tokyo, gaining favorable results and remarkably accurate leaf health judgement across various city plants. Worth noting, beyond applications in the city, “Plant Doctor” could also be adapted for agricultural use, helping farmers monitor crop health and identify diseases before they spread.
Overall, the technology represents a significant step toward more sustainable plant health monitoring in the city and countryside, allowing plant experts to focus more on strategic measures rather than regular monitoring.
32. Why was “Plant Doctor” developed
A. To help grow more plants in city areas.
B. To find the causes of plant diseases directly.
C. To take the place of city cameras completely.
D. To solve difficulties in traditional plant monitoring.
33. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. The goals of the programs. B. The advantages of the system.
C. The working process of the system. D. The methods of processing leaves.
34. What is one of the advantages of “Plant Doctor”
A. It causes no damage to the plants.
B. It helps cut down on resource spending.
C. It depends on a small number of cameras.
D. It gives correct results by using real leaves.
35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To stress the importance of AI application.
B. To promote the wide use of smart cameras.
C. To offer strategic measures to preserve plants.
D. To introduce an AI tool for monitoring plant health.

If you think life always feels a little easier in the spring and summer, you’re onto something. Natural light offers a range of physical and mental benefits. 36 The key is getting natural light exposure without overdoing it. Here are some key benefits it brings to well-being, along with tips to get it safely year-round.
Natural light helps set your internal clock. Light governs sleep, appetite, immunity, and hormone (荷尔蒙) production. 37 Morning light exposure at the same time daily keeps things running smoothly. Just 10-20 minutes soon after waking helps, but even five minutes works.
Natural light might make it easier to fall — and stay — asleep. Morning light sets you up for proper melatonin (褪黑色素) release at night. People feel tired roughly 15 hours after seeing morning light. Research suggests daytime light enhances sleep quality and prevents nighttime waking. 38 .
Natural light could be an instant mood-booster. Sunlight’s mood-enhancing effect may be immediate. 39 Scientists assume light helps regulate serotonin (血清素) and dopamine (多巴胺) release. Longer daylight results in higher serotonin levels, improving emotional stability. Light is increasingly used to treat depression, including seasonal affective disorder.
40 Limit exposure during peak UV hours (10 a.m.-4 p.m.) by using broad-spectrum SPF 15 + suns cream or protective clothing. Experts also strongly recommend wearing UVA / UVB-blocking sunglasses to protect vision.
A. Consistent exposure is linked to better emotions.
B. Artificial light at night has a bad impact on sleep.
C. Of course, too much sunlight carries health risks.
D. It is necessary not to expose yourself to sunlight too long.
E. More daylight may also balance negative effects of light at night.
F. Without it, your biological clock becomes disordered, causing you to feel tired.
G. While natural light offers great benefits, it’s important to take measures in advance.

I stood in my son’s bedroom, staring at the backpack he’d left on his bed. It was the same one he’d 41 since middle school — worn, but stuffed with 42 . Next week, he would move across the country for college, and this backpack, once the center of his world, would 43 .

I folded the backpack carefully and 50 it in the closet. I didn’t need to keep it to 51 him. The love, the trust, and the quiet confidence I’d tried to give him would go 52 him.
That night, I sat on his 53 bed and smiled. Letting go wasn’t 54 . It was loving him enough to let him fly. The greatest gift I can give him is not my constant 55 , but the courage to stand on his own.

An Unforgettable Festival Experience
第二节 （满分 25 分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Alex was a typical teenager, with a love for skateboarding, video games, and everything adventurous. However, there was one thing that Alex disliked deeply: playing the piano.
From a young age, Alex’s parents had insisted on piano lessons, believing that music would foster self-control and creativity. But to Alex, the piano was a symbol of duty, a task that limited his freedom. The black and white keys seemed to laugh at his desire for color and adventure. Each note (音符) felt like a prison, trapping him when he’d rather be outside, under the open sky.
In months of practice, Alex’s fingers struggled with the keys. The notes were dull, and the classical pieces felt like a language Alex could not speak. The performances were the worst — Alex’s heart raced and palms grew sweaty. The spotlight seemed to burn with the heat of a thousand suns. He recalled the years spent in front of this piano awaiting his lessons to end, awaiting his life to begin and awaiting his parents to leave the room. So he could secretly slide out of the room on his skateboard. Yet, through it all, the piano remained a silent, firm presence in his life.
On a fresh autumn afternoon, as the leaves outside turned to fire and gold, Alex was listening to his teacher introducing a new piece. It was nothing like the dull classics that had bored Alex to tears. The melody (旋律) was lively, the rhythm fascinating. Totally attracted by the melody, Alex asked with curiosity, “What song is it ” His teacher answered, “It is Summer, a modern composition.” For the first time, Alex felt a spark of interest in practicing the piano.
Several weeks later, news came that a school talent show would be held. Hearing the news, Alex began to practice with a newfound enthusiasm. Day after day, he sat before the piano, playing the song with excitement. His fingers glided across the keys with growing confidence.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为 100 个左右；
（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The day of the school talent show finally arrived.

范文一：
An Unforgettable Festival Experience
Good morning, dear teachers and fellow students. Today I’d like to share an unforgettable Lantern Festival experience.
On the joyful Lantern Festival, my family and I gathered to make handmade lanterns together. Initially, we cut bamboo into delicate strips and joined them skillfully to construct a solid frame. Subsequently, we wrapped the frame with bright red paper and fixed it tightly with glue. To make our lanterns more attractive, we decorated them with elegant traditional patterns and wrote creative riddles on them. Eventually, our beautiful lanterns were finished, glowing softly in the room.
The experience filled me with joy and pride. I realized that Lantern Festival is not just about lanterns, but about the happiness of sharing traditions with loved ones. Thank you for your listening!
范文二：
An Unforgettable Festival Experience
Good morning, dear teachers and fellow students. I’m Li Hua. It’s an honour to be here and share my unforgettable Spring Festival experience.
On the Eve of last Spring Festival, my grandfather taught me to write the character “Fu” with a writing brush. He first showed me how to hold the brush properly and control the strength of my wrist. Then he demonstrated each stroke patiently, telling me to keep calm and focus. Under his patient guidance, I imitated his writing step by step. Finally, my final character “Fu” turned out vivid and lively, adding a festive glow to the whole house.
That experience touched me deeply. I realized the Spring Festival is not just about celebrations, but about family bonds and passing on our traditions. Thank you for your listening!

范文：
The day of the school talent show finally arrived. Nervous but determined, Alex stepped onto the stage. His fingers gliding smoothly across the keys, the music began with contemporary rhythms. Gradually, his nervousness faded as his hands danced from the gentle melody to the powerful chord, each note pouring out his inner emotions. As the final note lingered in the air, the audience erupted into thunderous applause. His parents rose to their feet with smiles spreading across their faces. At that moment, Alex remembered how Summer had first sparked his curiosity. He started to see the piano in a new light. It wasn’t just about hitting the right keys, but expressing emotions and telling stories. The notes that once felt like a prison became a pathway to freedom.

Hello, everyone, I’m going to tell you about my gap year. I decided I would take a gap year when I was in my last year of secondary school. My parents wanted me to go straight to university. They wanted me to get a degree and start working. But I didn’t want that. (17)
