D.$135 B I can't really remember a time when I haven't panicked about what I'm doing with my life.After high school,I enrolled in a social work degree,only to drop out a semester later.I then tried nursing,but faced the same problem.At 19 Ifoundit impossb todecide what creer Iwanted for the rest of my life. Most recently,I had a sad realisation at a birthday dinner that I was falling behind.I was 29,unmarried,and living with my parents,while my friends were getting married and buying houses.When youre surrounded by those kinds of life events,it's hard not to feel like you've gone wrong somewhere Adulthood is hard,and the gap between and adulthood is even harder.In the last six months,I've tried to embrace the chaos and near-failure of my late 20s.But it turns out there's a real,sociological name for this feeling so many of us are having-Odyssey Years. The term refers to the decade of wandering that between the ages of and 35.It centres on the idea that exploring is just as important as setting down.People should use these key years totry things ou take risks and fail repeatedly.It's about engaging with the world,eaming about discovering your skills and interests,and exploring potential careers.In short,it's about discovering yourself. The concept made me feel yalidated in all those weird,uncomfortable feelings I was having and reassured me that there was nothing wrong with me. Although I went home after that birthday dinner and cried myself to sleep,I woke up the next day knowing that being alone was not a problem.It was simply another adventure I was having. After years of worrying that I was doing life wrong,I've realised that an entire generation is going through the same crisis.Maybe it's time we embrace that. 24.Why does the author mention her college dropouts? A.To show her lack of persistence in goals. B.To explain why she still lives with parents. C.To illustrate the confusion of Odyssey Years. D.To criticize how Odyssey Years influence her. 25.Which person is experiencing the"Odyssey Years"? A.A middle-aged clerk returning to school.

D.Treasured. 27.What can we infer from the last paragraph? A.She takes comfort in shared struggle. B.Her generation is unique in history. C.She has fully recovered from anxiety D.People should never compare with others. Every three years,the OECD releases the results of the Programme for International Student Assessment(PISA), which measures the abilities of 15-year-olds.The latest results are worrying. In the 23 OECD-member countries,average scores peaked around 2012 and have fallen ever since.In maths and reading,15-year-olds now perform at levels that might have been achieved by 14-year-olds a decade ago. Low-performing students are falling further behind,and the gap between low-and high-performing students is the largest ever recorded by PISA The pandemic may partly explain the decline.Students taking this year's PISA tests were about ten when Covid-19 higher than before,and missing lessons can significantly hurt academic performance. Technology for reading.Andreas,head,arues technology is expected to offer convenience but phones and social media give young people less practice making sense of test-takersare now classed as"hastyreaders"who rush through reading tests while getting many answers wrong.Screens are clearly diverting children from books.Just 37%of nine-year-olds in America say they read for pleasure,down from nearly 60%in the 1990s.Declining literacy (could also hurt performance in maths and science. Schools also face growing challenges.Schleicher worries that excessive parental involvement may pressure schools to lower their standards and accept“mediocre(平庸的)work”.Some anti-.authority trends on social media may be making students less willing to follow teachers'instructions,leaving schools more chaotic.In one recent survey,teachers reported that the amount of time they spend on classroom discipline is creeping up. Test scores do not define a person.Yet educational achievement is strongly associated with higher earnings,better health and longer lives.Nationally,improvements in a country's braininess appear to track closely with later bursts of economic growth;economist Ludger Woessmann finds that increasing PISA test scores by 25 points cou push up annual GDP growth by half a percentage point.Anyone who cares about the youth of today-and in tum the societies of tomorrow-ought to be alarmed. 28.What do the latest PISA results show? A.Test scores are falling and gaps are widening. B.The education gap between countries is narrowing C.Younger students outperform older ones in reading. D.High-and low-performing students are closer in ability. 29.Which view of technology would Schleicher most likely support? A.Screens are making more people illiterate. B.Students have developed fast reading skills C.Technology should have benefited learning. D.Academic pressure can be reduced by technology. 30.What is implied about schools in paragraph 5? A.They prefer social media to traditional books. B.They have managed to resist parental pressure. C.They face technological and pandemic challenges. D.They are losing control over standards and order. 31.What is the author's main purpose in writing the text? A.To explain why PISA tests are changing B.To argue that technology should leave classrooms C.To warn about the wider effects of declining grades. D.To compare educational problems across OECD countries D Rain sounds may be calming for humans,but for plants,the sound of droplets is more like an annoying morning alarm.As water falls onto soil or into water,the vibrations ()are far stronger underground than on the surface,but 英语试题卷第6页共12页 new research suggests plants take advantage of this wake-up call. A study published in Scientific Reports exposed about 8,000 submerged rice seeds to rain sounds and found they germinated (between 30 and 40 percent faster than seeds kept in quiet but otherwise identical conditions.The results mark the first direct evidence that plants sense and respond to sounds in their environment,and researchers say it's likely that seeds from other plant species behave in the same way. To understand how seeds can"hear"the rain,scientists looked closely at tiny structures inside plant cells called these structures also act as acoustic ()sensors.When heavy raindrops hit the soil or water surface,they send powerful sound waves strong shake the seed and bounce the statoliths around inside the cels,sendingasignal to the seed that water has arrived and waking it up and begin the germination process "It is a little bit of an unusual effect that only an interdisciplinary effort between acoustic and plant scientists could have uncovered,says study lead author NicholasC.Makris at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology."think this paper is a really significant advance in our understanding of how plants respond to the energy produced by sounds in their environment,"says Heidi Appel,a biologist at the University of Houston.Researchers hope these findings will be an"ha!momentfor future scientists,raising new possibilities that urge researchers to look beyond the effects of rain itself. 32.What caused the different germination rates among the rice seeds in the study? A.The type of seeds B.The depth of the soil. C.The amount of water D.The exposure to sound 33.Which of the following best outlines the process of a seed being"awoken"by the rain according to the text? DThe seed knows water is coming. Statoliths are triggered to bounce. 3Heavy raindrops hit the soil surface 1The seed wakes up and begins to grow. 5Powerful sound movements travel underground. A.③-②-⑤-①-④ B.③-⑤-②-①-④ C.①-③-⑤-②-④ D.①-②-③-⑤-④ 34.What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A.The finding has revolutionized farming. B.Plant research now depends on acoustics. C.Plants may respond to other natural sounds D.Rain sounds are essential for plants'growth. 英语试题卷第7页共12页 35.What is the most suitable title for the text?
