At one pool there was a small waterslide, which gave the 22-year-old former competitive swimmer an idea: he would make a TikTok video in which he pretended to be a “professional waterslide tester”. Shooting down a slide in hard hat and vest (马甲) or smiling broadly in cool shades Pop soon became a social-media sensation. He was hired to “test” slides and other facilities at water parks, swimming pools and campsites all over France. Today, he has more than half a million followers on TikTok and his own real-life waterslide-testing business. No longer working as a lifeguard, he travels the country checking the condition of waterslides, trying them out to determine how fun they are and creating amusing videos to attract customers. “First of all, I check it without water, to make sure it's in an acceptable state,” explains Pop, who must keep up-to-date on water-park regulations. If he finds a waterslide needs work, which can hurt sliders, management will bring in a specialist repairer. “After that, I test it with water,” Pop says. Then he moves on to the fun, promotional aspect. Sometimes he takes over a leisure park and invites social-media influencers to enjoy it too. In 2022, he took 25 influencers to O'Gliss Park, an enormous water park on the Atlantic coast. Pop estimates he's tested around 700 French waterslides and is now eyeing water parks abroad, such as Switzerland, Portugal and Spain, where he has been testing slides during the winter. “It's the best job in the world,” declares Pop, whose videos have received 80 million views. I'm not behind a desk. “I’m active and outside in the sun. And I have a great popularity with customers. In fact, all the children tell me they want to be a waterslide tester!” 4. Why did Guillaume Pop take jobs at various pools after his workplace closed? A. To become a TikTok blogger. B. To continue his original work roles. C. To maintain his skills as a competitive swimmer. D. To enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of deserted pools. 5. How does Pop promote waterslides and water parks? A. He creates safety guidelines for water parks. B. He cooperates with social media influencers. C. He writes reviews about the condition of waterslides. D. He organizes competitions for the best waterslide testers. 6. How does Pop feel about his present job? A. Satisfied. B. Challenged. C. Puzzled. D. Embarrassed. 7. What can we say about Pop’s experience? A. Creativity meets opportunity in career success. B. Social media is posing threat to professional growth. C. Pop's success was purely accidental with no planning. D. Career success is unattainable without a traditional job. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. A 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Guillaume Pop从一名救生员转变为“专业水上滑梯测试员”的故事，Pop 通过在TikTok上发布视频，创造性地将自己的爱好和工作结合在一起，最终建立起自己的事业。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Guillaume Pop took jobs at various other pools that were virtually deserted to continue his previous career.”（Guillaume Pop在其他几乎空无一人的游泳池工作，继续着他之前的职业生涯。）可知，Pop 在其他游泳池找工作是为了继续他之前救生员的工作角色，故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Sometimes he takes over a leisure park and invites social-media influencers to enjoy it too.”（有时，他会接管一个休闲公园，并邀请社交媒体上有影响力的人也来玩。）可知，Pop 通过与社交媒体上的网红合作来推广水上滑梯和水上乐园，故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段引述Pop的话““It's the best job in the world,” declares Pop, whose videos have received 80 million views. I'm not behind a desk. “I'm active and outside in the sun. And I have a great popularity with customers. In fact, all the children tell me they want to be a waterslide tester!”（“这是世界上最棒的工作了。”视频观看量已经达到八千万的Pop声称，“我不是在坐办公室。我活跃在大太阳下。我在客户中大受欢迎。事实上，所有的孩子们都告诉我他们也想当滑梯测试员”）” 可知，Pop 对自己的工作感到非常满意，故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，原本只是一位普普通通救生员的Guillaume Pop，通过在社交媒体上发布创意视频走红，从而转型成为水上滑梯测试员，在事业上大获成功。他的故事告诉我们，创造性的想法如果能遇到好的机会，就有可能实现事业上的成功，与A选项“创造力在事业成功中遇到了机遇”描述相符，故选A。 C What constitutes a quality education? Today, quality is most often measured through the PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) standardized tests — and countries are ranked accordingly. The higher on that list, the better your education would be. But do these results and rankings still relate to what really matters today — and tomorrow? At first glance, the relationship between PISA and economic performance doesn’t seem too hard to pinpoint. Connections between high PISA rankings and “hard” variables such as GDP, performance, productivity — these are easy enough to draw up. But if we agree that the success of modern-day economies is based on more than children’s ability to read, write and do maths, what other variables might we draw up and how might we assess their presence? The rapid changes we’re experiencing in our societies are having a substantial impact on the likelihood that our children will find a satisfying path when they are older. Our society is changing dramatically. Rather than pinpointing the single role they’ll play, children may have to prepare for a series of roles, more so than we have been used to. Each developing child passes through our school system to reach their full potential as an adult in society. The current version of our education system requires each child to be measured against the same standards. We must all fit these particular norms, working towards meeting those specific criteria (标准) . Are we not wasting an awful amount of potential and harming both ourselves and society? We are entering an age when computers, robots and artificial intelligence will start to outperform humans in skills we score children against today: computation, applied writing, organization, decision tree-based problem solving. Replacing humans in such jobs makes as much economic sense as the replacement of horses by cars once did. In healthcare, in the service industry, this is already happening and there is every reason to believe it will continue. Roles likely to avoid such robotization for some time yet are those that centre around those precise qualities that make us unmistakably human: inventiveness, creativity, sympathy, entrepreneurialism, lateral thinking, cultural sensitivity, to name a few. What if we gave these more emphasis in schools? 8. What is the main purpose of PISA tests? A. To predict future job market trends. B. To evaluate the creativity of students. C. To measure a country’s economic levels. D. To assess students’ academic performance. 9. The author implies that the current education system may be failing to _______. A. prepare students for standardized tests B. ensure all students meet the same criteria C. compare different countries’ economic bases D. adapt students to society’s complexity and diversity 10. What’s the author’s attitude towards the development of AI in various industries? A. Unclear. B. Favorable. C. Doubtful. D. Dismissive. 11. What does the author mainly intend to convey through the text? A. Education should facilitate a broader set of skills. B. Economic indicators are sufficient to assess education. C. The PISA test is a reliable way to measure education quality. D. Lifelong learning is no longer necessary in the modern world. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。作者探讨了教育质量的真正含义以及PISA 测试是否能够全面评估教育质量。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“What constitutes a quality education? Today, quality is most often measured through the PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) standardized tests — and countries are ranked accordingly.(什么是素质教育？今天，质量通常是通过PISA（国际学生评估项目）标准化测试来衡量的，各国也相应地进行排名)”可知，PISA测试的主要用途是评估学生的学术表现，故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Rather than pinpointing the single role they’ll play, children may have to prepare for a series of roles, more so than we have been used to.(孩子们可能需要为一系列的角色做准备，而不是确定他们将扮演的单一角色，这比我们过去习惯的角色要多)”以及第四段“The current version of our education system requires each child to be measured against the same standards. We must all fit these particular norms, working towards meeting those specific criteria (标准) . Are we not wasting an awful amount of potential and harming both ourselves and society?(我们现行的教育体系要求用同样的标准来衡量每个孩子。我们都必须符合这些具体规范，努力达到这些具体标准。我们是不是浪费了大量的潜力，伤害了我们自己和社会)”可知，如今的社会要求孩子为一系列角色作准备，而不是以前的单一角色，但如今的教育体系还是用同样的标准来衡量每个孩子，即作者暗示当前的教育体系可能未能适应社会复杂性和多样性，故选D。 可知，作者暗示当前的教育体系可能未能适应社会复杂性和多样性，故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“In healthcare, in the service industry, this is already happening and there is every reason to believe it will continue.(在医疗保健和服务行业，这种情况已经发生，而且有充分的理由相信这种情况将继续下去)”可知，作者对AI在各行业的发展持赞成态度，故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The rapid changes we’re experiencing in our societies are having a substantial impact on the likelihood that our children will find a satisfying path when they are older. Our society is changing dramatically. Rather than pinpointing the single role they’ll play, children may have to prepare for a series of roles, more so than we have been used to.(我们的社会正在经历的快速变化对我们的孩子长大后找到一条令人满意的道路的可能性产生了重大影响。我们的社会正在发生巨大的变化。孩子们可能需要为一系列的角色做准备，而不是确定他们将扮演的单一角色，这比我们过去习惯的要多)”，结合文章作者讨论了PISA 测试与教育质量的关系，并提出教育应该更加注重培养学生的一系列技能，可知作者主要想通过这篇文章传达教育应该培养更广泛的技能。故选A。 D We all notice bright colors. People who opt for striking attire (服装) and shiny decorative items, hear everything from, “No one is going to miss you at the party” to, “I would never have the guts to wear that.” But according to research, those comments may be both accurate and expected. Adam D. Pazda and Christopher A. Thorstenson examined how we perceive people at first impression who wear bright colors. They specifically examined the effect of chroma, which means color intensity in a practical way. They found that targets, both male and female, who were wearing or surrounded by high-chroma colors were perceived as more open and extraverted (外向的) than in a low-chroma setting. They concluded that chroma is a variable of perception that can influence first impressions of personality. Drilling down further, they found that high-chroma colors enhanced some viewer perception on personalities, but not other traits: such as emotional stability, agreeableness, reliability, responsibility or innovation. These observations are important because some job capitalize on some of the traits (特征) inferred through bright colors. Pazda and Thorstenson recognize what job seekers no doubt consider as they look for a career to match their personal disposition: in some occupations, success is fueled by possessing certain personality traits. They give examples of industries such as sales and marketing as well as customer service where individuals with outgoing personalities tend to excel. Accordingly, applicants for these positions may be viewed more favorably and judged as more competent if they wear highly chromatic clothing. Regarding the generality of their results, Pazda and Thorstenson note that one of the drawbacks of their study was their use of participants living in the United States, which means their findings may not predict results in other cultures. They note the possibility that chroma may influence the perception of personality traits differently in non-Western countries, and that high-chroma clothing may be perceived as varying from social norms in other cultures. 12. What does the underlined word “guts” mean in paragraph 1? A. Sensitivity. B. Appearance. C. Courage. D. Elegance. 13. Which personalities are believed to relate to people wearing high-chroma colors? A Innovation and creation. B. Openness and extraversion. C. Responsibility and reliability. D. Emotional stability and agreeableness. 14. What does the last paragraph focus on? A. The possible limitation of the research. B. The explanation of the research methodology. C. The benefits of high-chroma colors in various jobs D. The universality of high-chroma colors across cultures. 15. Which of the following can best describe the overall tone of the text? A. Critical and skeptical. B. Informative and objective. C. Persuasive and promotional. D. Evaluative and judgmental. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要探讨了穿着鲜艳颜色对第一印象的影响。 【12题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词句中“I would never have the…to wear that”（我从来没有……穿那样的衣服）由此可知，这里that指的是穿醒目鲜艳的服装和佩戴闪耀夺目的配饰，由此可知，划线单词“guts”在这里表示敢于做某事的勇气，结合选项C项Courage“勇气”意思一致。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“They specifically examined the effect of chroma, which means color intensity in a practical way. They found that targets, both male and female, who were wearing or surrounded by high-chroma colors were perceived as more open and extraverted (外向的) than in a low-chroma setting.”（他们专门研究了色度的影响，色度指的是一种实用的色彩强度。他们发现，穿高色度衣服或被高色度颜色包围的目标，无论男性还是女性，都被认为比在低色度环境中更开放和外向。）可知，与穿高色度衣服的人个性特征相关联的是开放性和外向性。故选B项。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“Regarding the generality of their results, Pazda and Thorstenson note that one of the drawbacks of their study was their use of participants living in the United States, which means their findings may not predict results in other cultures.”（关于他们研究结果的普遍性，Pazda和Thorstenson指出，他们研究的一个缺点是他们使用了生活在美国的参与者，这意味着他们的研究结果可能无法预测其他文化的结果。）可知，最后一段的重点是研究可能存在的局限性。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，文章以客观的方式呈现了研究结果，没有表现出明显的批判、说服或评价的语气，因此整体语调是提供信息和客观的。故选B项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A love of reading opens the door to adventures, learning new things and a whole host of key language skills. ___16___ .

What better way to teach this than to show them the ropes yourself! If your children see you reading often, it is more likely to encourage them. This will also help to promote time away from screens.(重要的是，孩子们要把阅读看作是一件有趣和愉快的事情，而不是一项艰巨的任务。还有什么比亲自教他们诀窍更好的方法呢！如果你的孩子经常看到你读书，这更有可能鼓励他们。这也将有助于促进远离屏幕的时间)”说明本段主要介绍要以身作则，给孩子树立喜欢读书的榜样。B项“塑造一个好读者的样子”适合作本段的主旨句，统领全段。故选B。 【19题详解】 下文“If they are particularly drawn to a particular topic, like dinosaurs, try to find children’s books about that subject. This will help to reinforce that books are tools for learning more about the things we care about and they will be more likely to read if the subject matter is their favourite!(如果他们特别喜欢某个特定的主题，比如恐龙，试着找一些关于这个主题的儿童读物。这将有助于强化书籍是了解更多我们关心的事情的工具，如果主题是他们最喜欢的，他们更有可能阅读！)”说明要根据孩子的兴趣来选择书籍。空处引出下文，说明家长应该关注孩子的兴趣并提供相关书籍，所以D项“随着孩子的成长，注意他们的兴趣”符合语境。故选D。 【20题详解】 上文“Create a special reading time before bed or while taking public transportation. If available near you, check with your local library for information on story time programmes.(在睡前或乘坐公共交通工具时设定一个特殊的阅读时间。如果附近有，请向当地图书馆查询故事时间节目的信息)”说明了如何将阅读纳入日常生活中。空处总结前文，提供了一个将阅读作为日常生活一部分的建议，即通过参加图书馆的故事时间等活动，孩子们可以在享受阅读的同时进行社交，所以C项“这些聚会让孩子们享受书籍并进行社交”符合语境。故选C。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 After Grandmother passed away, our family moved to a new city, and Uncle Darren and Aunt Julia stayed in her old house.

The world outside my window, once full of life, now seemed like a distant, unreachable place. Each day was a repetition of the last, a cycle that mirrored my own struggle to regain my strength and find hope in a future that felt dark and uncertain. One afternoon, as I sat mindlessly by the window, a flash of movement caught my eye-a swallow (燕子) under the roof. It was a delicate creature, with its elegant wings. For a moment, it seemed to look at me, its eyes bright and curious, as if it recognized a fellow soul. “A swallow,” I whispered, looking at the lovely creature, whose liveliness formed a contrast with the silence of the room. The swallow’s daily visits became a comforting rhythm, as steady as the dawn’s arrival. Each time it appeared on that branch, it wasn’t just a sign of spring; it was like a friend. I found myself looking forward to its daily appearances. Its presence became a flicker (闪现) of warmth in my otherwise lifeless days. One day, the swallow was not alone; it had been joined by a mate. Together, they began the merry work of building a nest under the roof. Inspired by their joyful spirit, I decided it was time for me to take control of my own life. I began to set small, achievable goals, mirroring the swallows' tireless work on their nest. However, life can be unpredictable. Just when the nest was almost done, a storm blew in out of nowhere, tearing the nest apart. I watched from my window, my heart aching for the swallows and their broken dream. 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。 I was worried I would never see the beautiful creatures come back. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the swallows’ new nest took shape. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I was worried I would never see the beautiful creatures come back. Unexpectedly, the next morning, as the sun drove away the shadows of the night, I was greeted by the sight of the swallows. They were perched on the branch. They did not let the destruction of their nest prevent them from achieving their purpose. Instead, they started anew. They flew in and out of the courtyard once again, building under the roof. I was so touched by the sight that I had tears of joy and admiration. Finally, the swallows’ new nest took shape. The swallows’ nest stood as a reminder that even when life throws us off course, we have the power to navigate back to our intended path. The swallows had become more than just visitors to my window; they had become a source of inspiration. As the seasons changed, so did I. In time, the swallows welcomed their young, and I welcomed a new chapter in my life — a chapter of hope, strength, and the unwavering belief that even in the face of adversity, we can rise and rebuild. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，主要介绍了作者在经历冬日的寒冷与春天的期盼中，经历了从失落、孤寂到逐渐恢复心灵的过程。在窗口的静静等待中，一只燕子的出现为作者的生活带来了希望与慰藉，燕子的日常到访成为作者孤独日子中的一抹温暖。当燕子与其伴侣开始筑巢时，更是激发了作者重拾生活信心，开始设定小目标并努力实现的决心。然而，生活的波折再次显现，一场突如其来的风暴摧毁了燕子的巢穴。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句“我担心我再也见不到这些美丽的生物了。”可知，本段可描写燕子不惧挫折重建家，坚韧精神的激励作者重拾希望。 ②由第二段首句“燕子的新巢终于成形了。”可知，本段可描写燕子的新巢象征着希望和重生，作者也在燕子的启发下迎来了新的生活篇章。 2.续写线索：担心——燕子并没有离开——重新开始筑巢——作者被鼓舞——感悟——准备迎接生活的新篇章。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①坐在……上面：perch on/sit on ②阻止某人做某事：prevent sb. from doing sth./stop sb. from doing sth. ③重建：rebuild/reconstruct 情绪类 ①快乐：joy/happiness/delight ②鼓舞：inspiration/encouragement 【点睛】【高分句型1】Unexpectedly, the next morning, as the sun drove away the shadows of the night, I was greeted by the sight of the swallows.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】I was so touched by the sight that I had tears of joy and admiration.（运用了so…that…引导的结果状语从句） 听力1-5 CBCBB 6-10 CBBCC 11-15 ABCBC 16-20 ACCAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 绝密☆启用前 2025届高三年级开学调研检测（一） 英语 本试卷共8页，满分150分，考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 本试卷由四个部分组成，其中，第一、二部分和第三部分的第一节为选择题，第三部分的第二节和第四部分为非选择题。 2. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 3. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1. 5分，满分7. 5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

B When the pool where he worked as a lifeguard near Paris was closed, Guillaume Pop took jobs at various other pools that were virtually deserted to continue his previous career. At one pool there was a small waterslide, which gave the 22-year-old former competitive swimmer an idea: he would make a TikTok video in which he pretended to be a “professional waterslide tester”. Shooting down a slide in hard hat and vest (马甲) or smiling broadly in cool shades, Pop soon became a social-media sensation. He was hired to “test” slides and other facilities at water parks, swimming pools and campsites all over France. Today, he has more than half a million followers on TikTok and his own real-life waterslide-testing business. No longer working as a lifeguard, he travels the country checking the condition of waterslides, trying them out to determine how fun they are and creating amusing videos to attract customers. “First of all, I check it without water, to make sure it's in an acceptable state,” explains Pop, who must keep up-to-date on water-park regulations. If he finds a waterslide needs work, which can hurt sliders, management will bring in a specialist repairer. “After that, I test it with water,” Pop says. Then he moves on to the fun, promotional aspect. Sometimes he takes over a leisure park and invites social-media influencers to enjoy it too. In 2022, he took 25 influencers to O'Gliss Park, an enormous water park on the Atlantic coast. Pop estimates he's tested around 700 French waterslides and is now eyeing water parks abroad, such as Switzerland, Portugal and Spain, where he has been testing slides during the winter. “It's the best job in the world,” declares Pop, whose videos have received 80 million views. I'm not behind a desk. “I’m active and outside in the sun. And I have a great popularity with customers. In fact, all the children tell me they want to be a waterslide tester!” 4. Why did Guillaume Pop take jobs at various pools after his workplace closed? A. To become a TikTok blogger. B. To continue his original work roles. C. To maintain his skills as a competitive swimmer. D. To enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of deserted pools. 5. How does Pop promote waterslides and water parks? A. He creates safety guidelines for water parks. B. He cooperates with social media influencers. C. He writes reviews about the condition of waterslides. D He organizes competitions for the best waterslide testers. 6. How does Pop feel about his present job? A. Satisfied. B. Challenged. C. Puzzled. D. Embarrassed. 7. What can we say about Pop’s experience? A. Creativity meets opportunity in career success. B. Social media is posing threat to professional growth. C. Pop's success was purely accidental with no planning. D. Career success is unattainable without a traditional job. C What constitutes a quality education? Today, quality is most often measured through the PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) standardized tests — and countries are ranked accordingly. The higher on that list, the better your education would be. But do these results and rankings still relate to what really matters today — and tomorrow? At first glance, the relationship between PISA and economic performance doesn’t seem too hard to pinpoint. Connections between high PISA rankings and “hard” variables such as GDP, performance, productivity — these are easy enough to draw up. But if we agree that the success of modern-day economies is based on more than children’s ability to read, write and do maths, what other variables might we draw up and how might we assess their presence? The rapid changes we’re experiencing in our societies are having a substantial impact on the likelihood that our children will find a satisfying path when they are older. Our society is changing dramatically. Rather than pinpointing the single role they’ll play, children may have to prepare for a series of roles, more so than we have been used to. Each developing child passes through our school system to reach their full potential as an adult in society. The current version of our education system requires each child to be measured against the same standards. We must all fit these particular norms, working towards meeting those specific criteria (标准) . Are we not wasting an awful amount of potential and harming both ourselves and society? We are entering an age when computers, robots and artificial intelligence will start to outperform humans in skills we score children against today: computation, applied writing, organization, decision tree-based problem solving. Replacing humans in such jobs makes as much economic sense as the replacement of horses by cars once did. In healthcare, in the service industry, this is already happening and there is every reason to believe it will continue. Roles likely to avoid such robotization for some time yet are those that centre around those precise qualities that make us unmistakably human: inventiveness, creativity, sympathy, entrepreneurialism, lateral thinking, cultural sensitivity, to name a few. What if we gave these more emphasis in schools? 8. What is the main purpose of PISA tests? A. To predict future job market trends. B. To evaluate the creativity of students. C. To measure a country’s economic levels. D. To assess students’ academic performance. 9. The author implies that the current education system may be failing to _______. A. prepare students for standardized tests B. ensure all students meet the same criteria C. compare different countries’ economic bases D. adapt students to society’s complexity and diversity 10. What’s the author’s attitude towards the development of AI in various industries? A. Unclear. B. Favorable. C. Doubtful. D. Dismissive. 11. What does the author mainly intend to convey through the text? A. Education should facilitate a broader set of skills. B. Economic indicators are sufficient to assess education. C. The PISA test is a reliable way to measure education quality. D. Lifelong learning is no longer necessary in the modern world. D We all notice bright colors. People who opt for striking attire (服装) and shiny decorative items hear everything from, “No one is going to miss you at the party” to, “I would never have the guts to wear that.” But according to research, those comments may be both accurate and expected. Adam D. Pazda and Christopher A. Thorstenson examined how we perceive people at first impression who wear bright colors. They specifically examined the effect of chroma, which means color intensity in a practical way. They found that targets, both male and female, who were wearing or surrounded by high-chroma colors were perceived as more open and extraverted (外向的) than in a low-chroma setting. They concluded that chroma is a variable of perception that can influence first impressions of personality. Drilling down further, they found that high-chroma colors enhanced some viewer perception on personalities, but not other traits: such as emotional stability, agreeableness, reliability, responsibility or innovation. These observations are important because some job capitalize on some of the traits (特征) inferred through bright colors. Pazda and Thorstenson recognize what job seekers no doubt consider as they look for a career to match their personal disposition: in some occupations, success is fueled by possessing certain personality traits. They give examples of industries such as sales and marketing as well as customer service where individuals with outgoing personalities tend to excel. Accordingly, applicants for these positions may be viewed more favorably and judged as more competent if they wear highly chromatic clothing. Regarding the generality of their results, Pazda and Thorstenson note that one of the drawbacks of their study was their use of participants living in the United States, which means their findings may not predict results in other cultures. They note the possibility that chroma may influence the perception of personality traits differently in non-Western countries, and that high-chroma clothing may be perceived as varying from social norms in other cultures. 12.

The world outside my window, once full of life, now seemed like a distant, unreachable place. Each day was a repetition of the last, a cycle that mirrored my own struggle to regain my strength and find hope in a future that felt dark and uncertain. One afternoon, as I sat mindlessly by the window, a flash of movement caught my eye-a swallow (燕子) under the roof. It was a delicate creature, with its elegant wings. For a moment, it seemed to look at me, its eyes bright and curious, as if it recognized a fellow soul. “A swallow,” I whispered, looking at the lovely creature, whose liveliness formed a contrast with the silence of the room. The swallow’s daily visits became a comforting rhythm, as steady as the dawn’s arrival. Each time it appeared on that branch, it wasn’t just a sign of spring; it was like a friend. I found myself looking forward to its daily appearances. Its presence became a flicker (闪现) of warmth in my otherwise lifeless days. One day, the swallow was not alone; it had been joined by a mate. Together, they began the merry work of building a nest under the roof. Inspired by their joyful spirit, I decided it was time for me to take control of my own life. I began to set small, achievable goals, mirroring the swallows' tireless work on their nest. However, life can be unpredictable. Just when the nest was almost done, a storm blew in out of nowhere, tearing the nest apart. I watched from my window, my heart aching for the swallows and their broken dream. 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。 I was worried I would never see the beautiful creatures come back. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the swallows’ new nest took shape. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-5 CBCBB 6-10 CBBCC 11-15 ABCBC 16-20 ACCAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
