A
Where to Travel in October
There are plenty of experiences to fill the month with wonder.While autumn leaf-peeping
beckons travellers to places like New York City's Central Park,spring blossoms and off-peak
deals are among the main draws for destinations in the Southern Hemisphere.Elsewhere,
Egypt is perfect for extending summer a little further while Madagascar welcomes a new
generation of ring-tailed lemurs.
Madagascar
The final few weeks of the dry season make this tropical island off the eastern coast of
Africa a calm,lush pocket of paradise,and this month its wildlife population springs into
action.Ring-tailed lemurs enter their breeding window;the proud parents and their goggle-
eyed babies can best be spotted in Isalo National Park.
Argentina
October marks the arrival of spring in Argentine Patagonia.Trails have opened for the
season in Los Glaciares National Park,offering ideal hiking conditions,while bird species like
the strange-tailed tyrant can be observed with fresh feathers in the Ibera wetlands.Elsewhere
in Patagonia,the region's biggest gastronomical fair guarantees a heavenly week for food-
lovers.
New York City
Whether it's admiring Central Park's golden leaves,sipping coffees or spending cosy
afternoons indoors,New York City's autumn is perfect for discovering the city in a new light.
Now is the ideal time to benefit from lower prices and a flurry of unique events.Off-Broadway
Week (5-18 October)offers two-for-one tickets to a host of shows and plays.
Egypt
Egypt's peak desert heat has started to dissipate in October,making way for more
comfortable exploration of the country's representative archaeological sites in Cairo,Luxor
and Aswan.A brief transitional season also brings about slightly lower prices as well as fewer
crowds.
21.Which destination is a favorable place for taking a hike?
A.Madagascar.
B.Argentina.
C.New York City.
D.Egypt.
22.What do New York City and Egypt have in common for travellers in October?
A.They are famous for ancient adventures.
【高三英语第3页(共10页)】
B.Tourists can enjoy special theatre events.
C.They are perfect for admiring golden leaves.
D.Visitors can get the benefits of reduced prices.
23.Where is this passage probably taken from?
A.A travel brochure.
B.A science magazine.
C.A local news website.

B
I still remember the morning I set off for my first day back at university at the age of 42
With a rucksack on my back and a carefully packed lunch,I found myself wondering what my
classmates would be like and whether I would stand out for all the wrong reasons.Beneath
the nervous excitement was a deeper concern:the future I once felt confident about no longer
seemed secure.
多
Across the UK,this feeling is becoming increasingly common.More and more adults are
returning to education,often at considerable financial cost,in search of work that feels
stable,meaningful or simply sustainable.Changes in technology,combined with economic
uncertainty,have made many traditional career paths less reliable than they once were.
After two decades spent working towards senior status in the creative industries,it was
frustrating to find myself applying for roles far below my experience and pay grade.
Leadership jobs in media were difficult to find,and after five years freelancing(从事自由职
k),I struggled to get back in.So I swallowed my pride and sent my CV out for retail and
administration roles-the jobs I'd last done in my early twenties.
佳
Gradually,it became clear that short-term fixes were not enough.Rather than continuing
to chase shrinking opportunities,I decided to retrain in psychotherapy.This choice was not an
escape,but a turning point:a practical step towards a profession that values human
connection and long-term purpose.
Looking back,returning to university has reshaped how I see both work and success.
Studying again has restored a sense of direction that is not determined only by the market.It
has taught me that starting over does not mean failure,but adjustment.In a world where
careers are increasingly fragile,learning may be one of the most reliable ways to move
forward.
24.Why did the author decide to go back to university at 42?
但
A.To escape from his family responsibilities.
B.To meet new people and make more friends.
C.To pursue a more stable and rewarding career.
D.To improve his skills in the creative industries.
25.What can we know about the author from Paragraph 3?
A.He refused to take low-paid jobs
B.He doubted his own working experience.
C.He gained great success in freelance work.
D.He failed to return to his previous industry.
【高三英语第4页(共10页)】
26.Which of the following words can best describe the author?
A.Ambitious and strict.
B.Humorous and generous.
C.Practical and adaptable.
D.Cautious and conservative.
27.What does this passage mainly convey?
A.Market changes lead to professional failure.
B.It is never too late to learn and adjust oneself.
C.Adult education is gaining popularity in the UK.
D.Traditional career paths are disappearing gradually.
C
London buses have a cool secret.Viewed from above,they are often white,not red.This
heat-reduction measure,which began in 2004 with the intention of making journeys more
comfortable for passengers,was complete by 2020.But buses still struggle to cope with rising
temperatures.
One of the solutions may be to make them even whiter.A group at University College
London (UCL),led by Ioannis Papakonstantinou,has painted the tops of two buses with
material that reflects 93%of sunlight.Commercial white paint manages 84%.The difference
might sound small,but it takes the new coating over a critical point:it emits more heat than
it absorbs from the sun.
Radiative coatings are coming to market.And not a moment too soon.Climate change
makes space-cooling increasingly necessary.It accounted for 10%of the world's electricity use
封
in 2025,up from 6%in 1990.And,working by pumping heat out of buildings,air-
conditioners help create urban "heat islands".
The secret of radiative cooling lies in materials that treat visible and infrared(红s外线的)
light differently.At any given wavelength,a substance can be a good emitter or a good
reflector,but not both.Yet to cool below the temperature of its surroundings,an object must
reflect energy from the sun while emitting its own pent-up heat.
The group at UCL mixes particles of aerogel(气凝胶)into a polymer(聚合物).
Differences between the light-bending abilities of the aerogel and the polymer,and the fact
that the particles are about the same size as the wavelength of light,both cause incoming light
rays to bounce off the aerogel particles,giving the paint its high reflectivity.Meanwhile,the
线
aerogel and the polymer permit the paint to shed heat directly into outer space.
The group's work is not yet ready for mass production,but other radiative coatings are
already on sale.i2Cool,a company in Hong Kong,includes particles made of a variety of
materials in a range of sizes to do the reflecting.i2Cool says that it has covered 850,000
square metres of buildings with its coatings-an area equivalent to 119 football pitches-and
thus avoided 14,000 tonnes of air-conditioning-related carbon-dioxide emissions.Which is,as
it were,the coolest thing of all.
28.What can we learn about the UCL group's new coating?
A.It comes to the market too soon.
B.It was first used on London buses in 2004.
【高三英语第5页(共10页)】
C.It makes buses absorb more heat than they emit.
D.It reflects more sunlight than the commercial white paint.
29.How do radiative coatings cool an object according to the passage?
A.By absorbing invisible and infrared light.
B.By pumping heat out of the object with electricity
C.By reflecting sunlight while releasing the object's own heat.
D.By mixing aerogel with polymer to block all wavelengths.
30.What does the example of i2Cool indicate?
A.UCL's new coating has entered mass production.
B.Radiative coatings are practical and eco-friendly.
C.Cooling coatings will replace air-conditioners soon.
D.Hong Kong leads the world in cooling technology.
31.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.Whiter Paint,Cooler Planet
B.London Buses:A Cool Secret
C.i2Cool:Coating the World in White
D.How Air-Conditioners Heat Up Cities
D
Every three years the OECD releases the results of international school tests sat by 15-
year-olds all across the world,which take a measure of young people's learning ability as they
approach the end of their compulsory education.The latest data,published on September
8th,suggest that scores in mathematics,reading and science have fallen further.In reading,
the decline is actually speeding up.
Zoom out,and the dominant story is of long-term decline.The average scores in the 23
OECD-member countries reached a peak around 2012 and have been falling ever since.
What is causing this decline?The impact of technology on children's learning-and on
their reading skills in particular-has a role.Phones and widespread access to social media
mean young people are getting less practice making sense of complex texts,argues Andreas
Schleicher,head of education at the OECD.Screens are clearly distracting children from
books:the number of nine-year-olds in America who say they read them for pleasure has
fallen from nearly 60%in the 1990s to 37%0 now.Declining reading could well be dragging
down marks in other subjects-because reading well is key to progressing in subjects such as
maths and science,too.
Tackling these challenges requires first-rate policies.What countries could serve as
models?Britain's march up the rankings deserves more attention than it has received.The
nation made its curriculums more knowledge-rich.It made exams stricter,and toughened
inspections.Politicians also sought to steer schools away from newfangled styles of
instruction that are fashionable but untested,and back towards methods that are more dyed-
in-the-wool.These policies have had some protective effect on school marks.
Test scores are not the measure of a person,nor proof that they are destined for failure or
【高三英语第6页(共10页)】
success.But good grades are highly predictive of fatter earnings,better health and longer
lives.At the national level,improvements in a country's braininess track closely with later
economic growth.It's time for school-reformers to hit the books.
32.What can we learn about the OECD international school tests?
A.The results of the tests are published every two years.
B.They are held to test students finishing compulsory education.
C.They show reading scores are dropping at a faster rate.
D.The tests examine students'ability to tackle real-life problems.
33.According to Andreas Schleicher,what is the cause of the decline?
A.A lack of practice in grasping complicated texts.
B.Weak foundation in mathematics and science.
C.Increased difficulty of math,science and reading.
D.Too much exposure to reading for pleasure in the school.
34.What does the underlined word dyed-in-the-wool in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Strict and unpopular.
B.Fashionable but untested.
C.Modern and newly-invented.
D.Traditional and well-established.
35.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Test scores can fully decide a person's future.
B.Falling test scores call for urgent school reform.
C.Technology alone explains the fall in students'reading ability.
D.Britain's education reforms should be copied by all countries.

What do you usually tell yourself when something goes wrong?If you make a mistake,
do you immediately think,"I'm not good enough,"or can you step back and ask,"What can
I learn from this?"36.The way we interpret difficult experiences can greatly influence
our feelings and future actions.
Positive thinking is often misunderstood as pretending everything is fine.37.It
means looking at a difficult situation without automatically assuming the worst.Instead of
thinking,"This always happens to me,"you might think,"This is difficult,but I can figure
out what to do next."This small shift can make challenges feel more manageable.
38.Once failure is expected,we tend to pay more attention to evidence that confirms
our worries.A mistake becomes proof that we are incapable,while our progress is easily
overlooked.A more balanced mindset helps us see both problems and chances.We admit
mistakes,but we are less likely to let one bad experience define the whole situation.
Positive thinking also adjusts our reaction to setbacks.People believing their abilities can
be improved by effort are ready to restart after failures.They seek strategies and adjust
methods for self-improvement.39.Instead,it lies in trusting you can handle
unsuccessful outcomes properly.
【高三英语第7页(共10页)】
This is why positive thinking is less about being cheerful all the time and more about
developing a healthier relationship with uncertainty.You cannot control everything that
happens to you,but you can influence the meaning you give to those experiences.Sometimes,
a better thought does not change the situation immediately.40.
A.Our thoughts shape what we notice
B.It does not promise constant success
C.Our worries stop us from facing real-life failures
D.It is impossible for us to avoid difficulties in daily life
E.Yet its real meaning goes far beyond simple cheerfulness
F.Small differences in thinking can produce powerful results
G.It simply gives you enough space to respond instead of react

LEGO isn't just for kids,and this 85-year-old grandma proves it.She was given her first
LEGO set by her grandson,who wanted to keep her 41 after she moved from China to

At 94,my mother remains energetic and fiercely independent.She has always insisted on
handling daily errands on her own,refusing to become a burden for her children living far
away.When a vacuum cleaner she had long desired went on sale at a national electronics(
chain,she firmly decided to drive herself to the nearest store to get one.
Unfortunately,the popular model had completely sold out by the time she pulled into the
store's parking lot.A sales assistant told her that the product was still in stock at another
branch in Melbourne.However,that store was a full-hour's drive from where Mum stayed.
Though still active in daily life,Mum's physical condition could not support such a long tiring
journey.She begged the staff to transfer the vacuum to the local outlet for her,only to receive
a cold and firm refusal.Standing in the queue,she felt helpless and greatly disappointed by
the indifferent service.
Just then,a woman waiting right behind her stepped forward.She volunteered to make
the long trip to the distant branch,pick up the vacuum cleaner and deliver it straight to
封
Mum's home.
Mum sensed the woman's genuine kindness and accepted the unexpected offer.She placed
the order and gave the stranger her home address.The moment Mum rang me and told me
what she had done,my heart sank instantly.Panic flooded my mind.A total stranger now
knew my elderly mother's home address!All sorts of frightening possibilities crowded into
my head.I warned Mum of potential tricks and begged her to cancel this risky arrangement
without delay.But Mum trusted the woman's gentle manner and refused to listen to my
persuasion.We even had a sharp quarrel over the phone.Trapped thousands of kilometres
away from Melbourne,I could do nothing but wait restlessly,overwhelmed by heavy worry
and lingering doubt.
