With this guide, you will find a picnic spot that is guaranteed to impress your guests. From an abandoned zoo to a rocky coast, here are some of the best places across the globe for an unforgettable outdoor meal. Old Zoo Picnic Area The first Los Angeles Zoo may have closed in the 1960s, but its remains still stand in Griffith Park, which is now fitted with picnic tables and outdoor facilities for guests to heat up their raw ingredients. You can look inside abandoned monkey cages and walk through the bear caves in between bites. Sports City This sporting center, once the training ground for top athletes, now consists of empty swimming pools and overgrown tracks. However, that doesn’t mean it has gone unused. In a city where public green space is a rare thing, the center has become a popular spot for locals to have picnics, read books, and simply relax in the shade. Ras Angela Marked with a sculpture of the continent, it is a peaceful spot to enjoy a picnic and beautiful ocean views. You can also lay out your towel on the nearby sandy beach and take a swim in the perfectly blue water. If you want a care-free experience, book one of our packages below (food and blankets included): Package Name Destination Price (Adult) Price (Child under 12) The History Explorer Old Zoo Picnic Area $40 $20 The City Oasis Sports City $30 $15 The Ocean Breeze Ras Angela $50 $25 Note: A $10 cleaning fee is charged per booking.

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, I found it impossible to decide what career I wanted 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 you’re 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 adolescence 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 usually occurs between the ages of 20 and 35. It centres on the idea that exploring is just as important as settling down. People should use these key years to try things out, take risks and fail repeatedly. It’s about engaging with the world, learning about other cultures, discovering your skills and interests, and exploring potential careers. In short, it’s about discovering yourself. The concept made me feel validated 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. B. A graduate following a fixed career plan. C. A teen choosing a major with parental guidance. D. A young adult trying jobs before finding passion. 26. What does the underlined word “validated” in Para. 5 mean? A. Justified. B. Challenged. C. Overlooked. 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. C 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 disrupted schooling, possibly affecting them more than older students. Its effects may persist: school absences remain higher than before, and missing lessons can significantly hurt academic performance. Technology is another concern, especially for reading. Andreas Schleicher, head of education at the OECD, argues technology is expected to offer convenience but phones and social media give young people less practice making sense of complex texts. More test-takers are now classed as “hasty readers”, 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 (读写能力) 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 could push up annual GDP growth by half a percentage point. Anyone who cares about the youth of today — and in turn 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 (震动) are far stronger underground than on the surface, but 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 (发芽) 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 statoliths. Normally, these statoliths rest quietly at the bottom of the cells due to gravity. However, Makris theorized that these structures also act as acoustic (声学的) sensors. When heavy raindrops hit the soil or water surface, they send powerful sound waves strong enough to shake the seed and bounce the statoliths around inside the cells, sending a signal 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 Nicholas C. Makris at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “I 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 “aha! moment” for 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? ① The seed knows water is coming. ② Statoliths are triggered to bounce. ③ Heavy raindrops hit the soil surface. ④ The seed wakes up and begins to grow. ⑤ Powerful 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. 35. What is the most suitable title for the text? A. Why Plants Need Rain B. Ear in the Ground C. Wake-up Call for Rice D. Secrets of Plant Cells 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Concerts were once seen mainly as entertainment. ____36____ Large music events can attract visitors from different places, increase spending on hotels, restaurants and shops, and bring people closer to local culture. Their impact has extended into many areas of local life. ____37____ More than 320,000 people attended its 13 performances, with nearly half traveling from smaller cities. This suggests that concerts are increasingly drawing audiences from beyond major urban centers. Fans are willing to travel long distances to see their favorite performers. Such movement can create a significant economic impact. ____38____ Tickets and food sold at the venue are only part of the picture. Visitors also spend money on accommodation, dining, transportation and shopping. In one study, a major tour generated nearly 9.5 billion units of local currency and created more than 118,000 man-days of employment in security, logistics (后勤) and event production. More importantly, the economic impact can reach businesses that are not directly involved in a concert. Money spent by visitors can move through different parts of the local economy. ____39____ For example, a restaurant may use its increased income to hire more workers or buy more supplies. Such spending can create further business opportunities and support more jobs. However, the growing concert economy also brings new challenges. Cities need better transportation, safer facilities and more efficient services to handle large crowds. Digital ticketing can also improve the concert experience and reduce problems such as ticket fraud (诈骗). ____40____ A. A major tour offers a revealing example. B. It is a common habit of concert spending. C. This creates a chain of economic activity. D. A large concert can generate income in many ways. E. The significance of these events has grown over time. F. They can create connections across different communities. G. With proper planning, concerts can play a larger role in urban life. 第三部分 英语知识运用（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，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 One evening, Katie picked up a worn novel from a Little Free Library and took it home.

He was quiet and often found it difficult to join conversations, so he had few close friends. While almost every student owned a B-bot, a smart robot that could connect to the Internet, Barney was one of the few who did not. His father finally bought him one for his birthday. Its name was Ron. Unfortunately, Ron was different from other B-bots. He was slow to understand social situations. Worse still, he often said the wrong thing at the wrong time. At first, Barney found Ron amusing. But as his classmates showed off their clever B-bots, Barney became self-conscious. The other students laughed at Ron’s mistakes and called him a “broken” B-bot. Some even refused to let Ron join their games. They also teased (嘲弄) Barney for having such a strange B-bot. Barney tried to ignore them, but he became increasingly embarrassed. Ron noticed this and stayed close to Barney, even though he did not know how to make things better. Seeing Barney struggle to make friends, Ron tried to help, but often misunderstood social situations. Once, he loudly announced, “Barney has no friends nearby,” making everyone laugh. One afternoon, things went too far. Barney was talking to some classmates when Ron suddenly announced, “Attention, everyone! Barney needs friends! Please raise your hand if you want to be his friend. Don’t be shy — Barney is waiting!” Several students burst into laughter. Barney’s face burned with embarrassment. “Why can’t you be like the other B-bots?” Barney shouted. “I wish I had never gotten you!” He stormed off, leaving Ron behind. That evening, Barney noticed that Ron was not at home. Worried that he might still be at school, he hurried back. At the playground, he heard a faint electronic beep (嘟嘟声) and followed the sound. He found Ron sitting alone on a bench. Ron was sitting there, working on another message. On his screen were several new versions, each an awkward attempt to help Barney make friends. One simply read, “Maybe I can be your friend first.” Ron kept trying, even after Barney had shouted at him. Barney stood quietly behind him, watching the screen. 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。 Paragraph 1: With mixed feelings, Barney slowly sat down beside Ron. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next morning, Barney entered the classroom proudly with his friend, Ron. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 西大附中等校高2027届高三上学期九月联合诊断考试 英语试题 （满分：150分；考试时间：120分钟） 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生先将自己的姓名、班级、考场/座位号、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 答选择题时，必须使用2B铅笔填涂；答非选择题时，必须使用0.5毫米的黑色签字笔书写；必须在题号对应的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写无效；保持答卷清洁、完整。 3. 考试结束后，将答题卡交回（试题卷自行保管，以备评讲）。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What is the man doing?

He's got a real mind of his own. He has good ideas and never just follows the crowd. But our teacher said he did so badly in the exams. W: Do you know why? Roger suffers from anxiety and lacks confidence. His brain is so active, and he thinks too much when it comes to exams. His intelligence actually works against him. M: I hope we can help him. It's a pity that he performed badly in the exams. We must try to help him by showing him how to keep calm in stressful situations. W: How do we do that? I can't say that I'm exactly an expert at dealing with stress, although I am better at it than I used to be. M: I can help him. I always think that going to the gym regularly is a great way to beat stress and anxiety. When you tire yourself out, you won't have the energy to be nervous. W: That is true. 听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 13. What does the man introduce first concerning the festival? A. The performances. B. The opening time. C. The organizers. 14.

She is also a successful history teacher. C. She is the oldest woman ever to finish the race. 18. What did Natalie Grabow do at 59? A. She took up tennis. B. She learned to swim. C. She retired early. 19. When did Natalie Grabow first take part in half-Ironman? A. At the age of 45. B. At the age of 50. C. At the age of 60. 20. How did Natalie Grabow feel about this year’s race? A. Relaxed. B. Satisfied. C. Disappointed. 【答案】17. C 18. B 19. C 20. B 【解析】 【原文】 A: On October 11th, over 1,600 athletes kicked off the 2025 Ironman World Championship triathlon in Hawaii. While 60 competitors failed to finish, 80-year-old Natalie Grabow made history as the oldest woman ever to complete the race, marking her 11th Ironman finish. Grabow has long been athletic. But when she was growing up, girls were more likely to be seen as cheerleaders than as athletes. When her kids were young, she began playing tennis. Then she took up running when she went back to work. After a while, some of her running buddies began to take part in triathlons. Grabow was also interested, so she decided to learn to swim. That's pretty impressive for a woman who couldn't swim until she was 59. Twenty years ago, she did her first half Ironman, and by her early 60s she qualified for the world championship. This year, racing alone in her age group, but during the same harsh conditions, she finished in 16 hours, 45 minutes, 26 seconds. She was so happy that she could still race in this sport at her age — tired but grateful. She plans to compete in at least 2 half Ironman races next year. 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Unusual Picnic Places Around the World There is nothing quite like a picnic with friends and family. With this guide, you will find a picnic spot that is guaranteed to impress your guests. From an abandoned zoo to a rocky coast, here are some of the best places across the globe for an unforgettable outdoor meal. Old Zoo Picnic Area The first Los Angeles Zoo may have closed in the 1960s, but its remains still stand in Griffith Park, which is now fitted with picnic tables and outdoor facilities for guests to heat up their raw ingredients. You can look inside abandoned monkey cages and walk through the bear caves in between bites. Sports City This sporting center, once the training ground for top athletes, now consists of empty swimming pools and overgrown tracks. However, that doesn’t mean it has gone unused. In a city where public green space is a rare thing, the center has become a popular spot for locals to have picnics, read books, and simply relax in the shade. Ras Angela Marked with a sculpture of the continent, it is a peaceful spot to enjoy a picnic and beautiful ocean views. You can also lay out your towel on the nearby sandy beach and take a swim in the perfectly blue water. If you want a care-free experience, book one of our packages below (food and blankets included): Package Name Destination Price (Adult) Price (Child under 12) The History Explorer Old Zoo Picnic Area $40 $20 The City Oasis Sports City $30 $15 The Ocean Breeze Ras Angela $50 $25 Note: A $10 cleaning fee is charged per booking. Moreover, bookings that include at least one child under 12 will receive a one-time $20 discount off the total price. 21. What can visitors do at the Old Zoo Picnic Area? A. Feed wild monkeys. B. Buy picnic ingredients. C. Watch live bear shows. D. Enjoy a self-cooked meal. 22. Why do locals choose to picnic in Sports City? A. To relax in a green place. B. To watch sports events. C. To do sports with friends. D. To swim in clear water. 23. How much do you pay for a beach picnic for two adults and an 8-year-old? A. $105. B. $115. C. $125. D. $135. 【答案】21. D 22. A 23. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍三处独特的野餐地点以及相关套餐价格与预订说明。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Old Zoo Picnic Area部分中“The first Los Angeles Zoo may have closed in the 1960s, but its remains still stand in Griffith Park, which is now fitted with picnic tables and outdoor facilities for guests to heat up their raw ingredients. (第一座洛杉矶动物园可能已于20世纪60年代关闭，但它的遗迹仍然矗立在格里菲斯公园中，如今那里配备了野餐桌和户外设施，供游客加热他们自带的生食材。)”可知，游客可以在这里享受自己烹饪的食物。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Sports City部分中“In a city where public green space is a rare thing, the center has become a popular spot for locals to have picnics, read books, and simply relax in the shade. (在一个公共绿地十分稀缺的城市里，这个中心已成为当地人野餐、读书以及在树荫下放松的热门场所。)”可知，当地人选择在此野餐是为了在一片绿地中放松。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格中The Ocean Breeze部分可知，成人每人$50，12岁以下儿童$25，所以两个成人和一个8岁儿童的费用为$50×2+$25=$125；根据最后一段Note中“A $10 cleaning fee is charged per booking. Moreover, bookings that include at least one child under 12 will receive a one-time $20 discount off the total price. (每次预订需支付10美元清洁费。此外，包含至少一名12岁以下儿童的预订将享受一次性总价减免20美元的优惠。)”可知，还需加$10清洁费，再减$20折扣，即$125+$10-$20=$115。 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, I found it impossible to decide what career I wanted 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 you’re 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 adolescence 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 usually occurs between the ages of 20 and 35. It centres on the idea that exploring is just as important as settling down. People should use these key years to try things out, take risks and fail repeatedly. It’s about engaging with the world, learning about other cultures, discovering your skills and interests, and exploring potential careers. In short, it’s about discovering yourself. The concept made me feel validated 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. B. A graduate following a fixed career plan. C. A teen choosing a major with parental guidance. D. A young adult trying jobs before finding passion. 26. What does the underlined word “validated” in Para. 5 mean? A. Justified. B. Challenged. C. Overlooked. 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. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. A 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述作者在人生道路上不断迷茫、试错，了解到“奥德赛时期”这一社会学概念后，认识到20至35岁探索自我是正常的人生阶段，内心获得慰藉。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Adulthood is hard, and the gap between adolescence 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.(成年本就不易，从青春期过渡到成年的这段时期更是难熬。过去半年里，我试着接纳自己二十多岁末期这种一团糟、屡屡受挫的状态。而事实证明，我们很多人都有的这种感受，在社会学上有一个专门的名词 ——奥德赛时期。)”可知，作者列举大学辍学的经历，是用来举例说明奥德赛时期的迷茫状态。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The term refers to the decade of wandering that usually occurs between the ages of 20 and 35. It centres on the idea that exploring is just as important as settling down. People should use these key years to try things out, take risks and fail repeatedly.(该术语指通常发生在20至35岁之间的一段探索期。其核心观点是探索和安定下来同样重要。人们应当利用这段关键时期去尝试、冒险，不断经历失败。)”可知，一名年轻成年人在找到热爱方向前不断尝试不同工作，属于奥德赛时期。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段“The concept made me feel validated in all those weird, uncomfortable feelings I was having and reassured me that there was nothing wrong with me.(这个概念让我那些奇怪又不安的感受validated，使我确信自己并没有问题。)”可知，这个概念证明了她之前的迷茫感受是正常合理的，validated此处含义为“证明合理、被认可”，和justified同义。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“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.(多年来我一直担心自己的人生走错路，现在我意识到整整一代人都在经历同样的困境。或许我们该接纳这一点。)”可知，发现很多人有着同样的挣扎，这让作者感到宽慰。 C 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 disrupted schooling, possibly affecting them more than older students. Its effects may persist: school absences remain higher than before, and missing lessons can significantly hurt academic performance. Technology is another concern, especially for reading. Andreas Schleicher, head of education at the OECD, argues technology is expected to offer convenience but phones and social media give young people less practice making sense of complex texts. More test-takers are now classed as “hasty readers”, 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 (读写能力) 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 could push up annual GDP growth by half a percentage point. Anyone who cares about the youth of today — and in turn 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. 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了最新PISA测试结果显示多国学生成绩下滑、差距扩大，分析了疫情、科技、学校管理等因素的影响，并警示成绩下降对未来的广泛负面后果。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“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. (在23个经合组织成员国中，平均分在2012年左右达到峰值，此后一直下降。在数学和阅读方面，15岁学生现在的表现水平可能相当于十年前14岁学生的水平。表现不佳的学生越来越落后，低分学生和高分学生之间的差距是PISA有史以来记录的最大差距)”可知，最新PISA结果显示分数下降且差距扩大。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Andreas Schleicher, head of education at the OECD, argues technology is expected to offer convenience but phones and social media give young people less practice making sense of complex texts. (经合组织教育与技能司司长安德烈亚斯·施莱歇尔认为，技术有望提供便利，但手机和社交媒体让年轻人更少练习理解复杂文本)”可知，他认为技术本应提供便利、惠及学习，但实际产生了负面影响。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“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. (Schleicher担心，家长的过度参与可能会迫使学校降低标准，接受“平庸的作业”。社交媒体上的一些反权威趋势可能会让学生不太愿意听从老师的指示，让学校变得更加混乱。在最近的一项调查中，教师们报告说，他们花在课堂纪律上的时间正在逐渐增加)”可推知，学校正在失去对标准和秩序的控制。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“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 could push up annual GDP growth by half a percentage point. Anyone who cares about the youth of today — and in turn the societies of tomorrow — ought to be alarmed. (考试分数并不能定义一个⼈。然而，教育成就与更高的收入、更好的健康和更长的寿命密切相关。在国家层面，一个国家智力水平的提高似乎与后来的经济增长爆发密切相关；经济学家Ludger Woessmann发现，将PISA测试分数提高25分可以使年度GDP增长提高0.5个百分点。任何关心当今青年——进而关心未来社会——的人都应该感到警惕)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了最新PISA测试结果显示多国学生成绩下滑、差距扩大，作者旨在警示成绩下降带来的更广泛的社会经济影响。 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 (震动) are far stronger underground than on the surface, but 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 (发芽) 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 statoliths. Normally, these statoliths rest quietly at the bottom of the cells due to gravity. However, Makris theorized that these structures also act as acoustic (声学的) sensors. When heavy raindrops hit the soil or water surface, they send powerful sound waves strong enough to shake the seed and bounce the statoliths around inside the cells, sending a signal 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 Nicholas C. Makris at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “I 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 “aha! moment” for 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? ① The seed knows water is coming. ② Statoliths are triggered to bounce. ③ Heavy raindrops hit the soil surface. ④ The seed wakes up and begins to grow. ⑤ Powerful 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. 35. What is the most suitable title for the text? A. Why Plants Need Rain B. Ear in the Ground C. Wake-up Call for Rice D. Secrets of Plant Cells 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍一项新研究：植物可感知雨声并借此加快种子发芽的相关原理与意义。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“A study published in Scientific Reports exposed about 8,000 submerged rice seeds to rain sounds and found they germinated (发芽) between 30 and 40 percent faster than seeds kept in quiet but otherwise identical conditions.(发表在《科学报告》上的一项研究将约8000颗浸水稻种置于雨声环境下，发现它们的发芽速度比安静环境、其余条件完全相同的种子快30%至40%。)” 可知，两组种子唯一变量是是否接触声音，所以造成发芽率差异的是声音刺激。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“When heavy raindrops hit the soil or water surface, they send powerful sound waves strong enough to shake the seed and bounce the statoliths around inside the cells, sending a signal to the seed that water has arrived and waking it up and begin the germination process.(当大雨滴击打土壤或水面时，会产生强大声波，足以震动种子，使细胞内的平衡石晃动，向种子传递水已到来的信号，唤醒种子并开启发芽过程。)”可知：雨声让种子“醒来”的顺序为：③大雨滴击打土壤表面 → ⑤强大的声波在地下传播 → ②平衡石受冲击晃动 → ①种子感知到水到来 → ④种子苏醒并开始生长，对应顺序③-⑤-②-①-④。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I think this paper is a really significant advance in our understanding of how plants respond to the energy produced by sounds in their environment... raising new possibilities that urge researchers to look beyond the effects of rain itself.(我认为该论文极大推进了我们对植物如何响应环境中声音能量的认知……开辟新思路，促使研究者不只局限于雨水本身的影响。)” 可推断，植物或许也能对其他自然声音作出反应。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“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 (震动) are far stronger underground than on the surface, but new research suggests plants take advantage of this wake-up call.(雨声对人类来说或许令人平静，但对植物而言，雨滴声更像恼人的晨间闹钟。当雨水落在土壤或水面时，地下的震动比地表强烈得多，但新研究表明植物会利用这个唤醒信号。）” 以及全文内容可知，文章核心讲述植物可以感知地下传来的雨滴声波信号，如同地下长了耳朵，因此标题为“地下的耳朵”。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Concerts were once seen mainly as entertainment. ____36____ Large music events can attract visitors from different places, increase spending on hotels, restaurants and shops, and bring people closer to local culture. Their impact has extended into many areas of local life. ____37____ More than 320,000 people attended its 13 performances, with nearly half traveling from smaller cities. This suggests that concerts are increasingly drawing audiences from beyond major urban centers. Fans are willing to travel long distances to see their favorite performers. Such movement can create a significant economic impact. ____38____ Tickets and food sold at the venue are only part of the picture. Visitors also spend money on accommodation, dining, transportation and shopping. In one study, a major tour generated nearly 9.5 billion units of local currency and created more than 118,000 man-days of employment in security, logistics (后勤) and event production. More importantly, the economic impact can reach businesses that are not directly involved in a concert. Money spent by visitors can move through different parts of the local economy. ____39____ For example, a restaurant may use its increased income to hire more workers or buy more supplies. Such spending can create further business opportunities and support more jobs. However, the growing concert economy also brings new challenges. Cities need better transportation, safer facilities and more efficient services to handle large crowds. Digital ticketing can also improve the concert experience and reduce problems such as ticket fraud (诈骗). ____40____ A. A major tour offers a revealing example. B. It is a common habit of concert spending. C. This creates a chain of economic activity. D. A large concert can generate income in many ways. E. The significance of these events has grown over time. F. They can create connections across different communities. G. With proper planning, concerts can play a larger role in urban life. 【答案】36. E 37. A 38. D 39. C 40. G 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍音乐会不再仅仅是娱乐活动，它带动地方经济发展，同时音乐会经济也面临一些挑战，合理规划能让音乐会在城市生活中发挥更大作用。 【36题详解】 上文“Concerts were once seen mainly as entertainment.(音乐会曾经主要被看作娱乐活动。)”介绍过去人们对音乐会的看法。后文“Large music events can attract visitors from different places, increase spending on hotels, restaurants and shops, and bring people closer to local culture.(大型音乐活动可以吸引来自各地的游客，增加酒店、餐馆和商店的消费，让人们更了解当地文化。)”说明音乐会更多方面的价值。选项E“The significance of these events has grown over time.(随着时间推移，这些活动的重要性不断提升。)”起到承上启下的转折作用。 【37题详解】 下文“More than 320,000 people attended its 13 performances, with nearly half traveling from smaller cities.(超过 32 万人观看了它的 13 场演出，其中近一半人来自小城市。)”列举了一场巡演的具体数据例子。选项A“A major tour offers a revealing example.(一场大型巡演就是一个很有说服力的例子。)”作为本段总起句，引出下文实例。 【38题详解】 上文“Such movement can create a significant economic impact.(这类流动能够产生巨大的经济影响。)”点明音乐会带来经济影响。后文“Tickets and food sold at the venue are only part of the picture.

Such spending can create further business opportunities and support more jobs.(例如，餐馆可以用增加的收入雇佣更多员工或采购物资，这类消费会创造更多商机，提供更多岗位。)”举例说明连锁效应。选项C“This creates a chain of economic activity.(这会形成一连串的经济活动。)”衔接上下文，概括这种经济连锁反应。 【40题详解】 上文“However, the growing concert economy also brings new challenges. Cities need better transportation, safer facilities and more efficient services to handle large crowds. Digital ticketing can also improve the concert experience and reduce problems such as ticket fraud (诈骗).(但是不断发展的音乐会经济也带来新挑战，城市需要更好的交通、更安全的设施和更高效的服务应对大量人群。电子票务也能改善观演体验，减少票务诈骗等问题。)”阐述音乐会经济存在挑战以及对应的解决办法。选项G“With proper planning, concerts can play a larger role in urban life.(做好合理规划，音乐会就能在城市生活中发挥更大作用。)”对本段进行总结收尾。 第三部分 英语知识运用（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，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 One evening, Katie picked up a worn novel from a Little Free Library and took it home. As she turned the pages, a folded sheet ____41____ from between them and fell beside her chair. The paper had ____42____ with age, but the handwriting was still clear. “Dear Jackie,” it began. The writer was Jackie’s grandmother. She recalled Jackie’s singing, laughter, and courage, all of which had filled her with ____43____. She loved watching Jackie grow into a kind, confident young woman. At the end, she ____44____ her granddaughter of her enduring love. Katie read the letter twice. It struck her that these simple words might mean far more to Jackie than they did to a ____45____. Yet Jackie had no way of knowing that the letter still ____46____. Katie wondered what it would take for her to find Jackie. She photographed the letter and shared it online, hoping someone might ____47____ the handwriting. For days, nothing happened. Then, one morning, a woman ____48____ the post, stared at the screen, and hardly dared to believe what she was seeing. It was Jackie. She knew the handwriting. She had treasured the letter for years, but while moving, she donated a box of old ____49____, believing the letter was safely ____50____ away. For more than two decades, she had ____51____ not known that she had lost it. Only then did she realize the letter had been inside one of her donations all along.

He was quiet and often found it difficult to join conversations, so he had few close friends. While almost every student owned a B-bot, a smart robot that could connect to the Internet, Barney was one of the few who did not. His father finally bought him one for his birthday. Its name was Ron. Unfortunately, Ron was different from other B-bots. He was slow to understand social situations. Worse still, he often said the wrong thing at the wrong time. At first, Barney found Ron amusing. But as his classmates showed off their clever B-bots, Barney became self-conscious. The other students laughed at Ron’s mistakes and called him a “broken” B-bot. Some even refused to let Ron join their games. They also teased (嘲弄) Barney for having such a strange B-bot. Barney tried to ignore them, but he became increasingly embarrassed. Ron noticed this and stayed close to Barney, even though he did not know how to make things better. Seeing Barney struggle to make friends, Ron tried to help, but often misunderstood social situations. Once, he loudly announced, “Barney has no friends nearby,” making everyone laugh. One afternoon, things went too far. Barney was talking to some classmates when Ron suddenly announced, “Attention, everyone! Barney needs friends! Please raise your hand if you want to be his friend. Don’t be shy — Barney is waiting!” Several students burst into laughter. Barney’s face burned with embarrassment. “Why can’t you be like the other B-bots?” Barney shouted. “I wish I had never gotten you!” He stormed off, leaving Ron behind. That evening, Barney noticed that Ron was not at home. Worried that he might still be at school, he hurried back. At the playground, he heard a faint electronic beep (嘟嘟声) and followed the sound. He found Ron sitting alone on a bench. Ron was sitting there, working on another message. On his screen were several new versions, each an awkward attempt to help Barney make friends. One simply read, “Maybe I can be your friend first.” Ron kept trying, even after Barney had shouted at him. Barney stood quietly behind him, watching the screen. 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。 Paragraph 1: With mixed feelings, Barney slowly sat down beside Ron. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next morning, Barney entered the classroom proudly with his friend, Ron. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文： With mixed feelings, Barney slowly sat down beside Ron. He looked at the messages and realized how hard Ron had tried to help him. Although Ron often made mistakes, he had never laughed at Barney or left him alone. Instead, he had stayed by Barney’s side when everyone else turned away. Barney gently touched Ron’s arm and said, “I’m sorry, Ron.” Ron’s screen lit up with a smile. Barney realized that he already had a friend who truly cared about him. The next morning, Barney entered the classroom proudly with his friend, Ron. When some classmates laughed at Ron, Barney did not hide or walk away. Instead, he stayed beside Ron and joined the others in a game. Ron still made a few silly mistakes, but Barney laughed and helped him try again. Gradually, the classmates stopped teasing them and began to accept Ron. Barney no longer cared whether his B-bot was as clever as the others’. He had learned that friendship was not about being perfect or fitting in, but about staying by someone’s side and accepting them for who they were. 【解析】 【导语】本文以男孩巴尼与他的智能机器人罗恩之间的相处为线索，讲述了巴尼因罗恩而被同学嘲笑，他对罗恩发脾气，但罗恩始终陪伴并帮他交朋友。最终巴尼意识到罗恩是真正的朋友，学会了接纳不完美，懂得了友谊的真谛。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可以写巴尼看到罗恩屏幕上笨拙却真诚的留言，内心受到触动，向罗恩道歉，并意识到罗恩一直把自己当朋友。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可以写巴尼带着罗恩走进教室后，面对同学们的嘲笑不再逃避，并帮助罗恩融入集体，同学们接受罗恩，巴尼由此明白了友谊的真正含义。 2. 续写线索：看到留言→道歉→内心触动→带罗恩进教室→不再逃避→帮助罗恩→同学接受→明白友谊真谛 3. 词类激活 行为类 接受：accept/welcome/embrace 触摸：touch/stroke/lay a hand on 情绪类 亮起来，露出笑容：light up/beam with delight/sparkle with excitement 聪明的：clever/smart/intelligent 【点睛】[高分句型1] Although Ron often made mistakes, he had never laughed at Barney or left him alone.（运用了Although引导让步状语从句） [高分句型2] He had learned that friendship was not about being perfect or fitting in, but about staying by someone’s side and accepting them for who they were.（运用了that引导宾语从句以及who引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $第一节听下面五段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。听下面的录音，回答第一小题。i don't like this.
