Los Angeles is famously known for its sun,surf and celebrities,but the city's rich history in sports is the cherry on top.Since its opening in 2020,SoFi Stadium has continued to set the standard for the fan experience.
SoFi Stadium is the home venue for both the Los Angeles Rams and the Los Angeles Chargers,with the Rams playing the most home games here each season.It also hosts the annual LA Bowl and,in 2026,several World Cup matches.Here is what you need to know before your visit.
Parking:There are several parking options.You can book parking in advance via ParkWhiz,an app that lets you purchase a parking pass for specific events.Buying a pass in advance helps you avoid higher rates on site.Parking can cost between $50 and $100.Tailgating (在停车场聚餐) is permitted at the "pink" lots:H,I,J,P and Q.
Transportation:For fans hoping to avoid parking,the City of Inglewood Park and Ride program offers off﹣site parking with a shuttle that runs every 15 minutes to and from the stadium.GTrans,Torrance Transit and the Metro C Line are also convenient options.
Hotels:There are plenty of hotels nearby.For a prime location,check out Sonder Lum Hotel,right across the street from the stadium,or the USC Hotel,a couple of miles north.Other options include the LAX airport hotels,all within three miles of the stadium.

文章大意:这是一篇关于 2026年洛杉矶 SoFi Stadium(索菲体育场) 观赛指南的阅读理解题,主要介绍了停车、交通、住宿及世界杯赛程信息。
(1)考查细节理解。题干句意为:这个月哪支球队将在该体育场进行最多的比赛?文章第二段明确提到:“SoFi Stadium is the home venue for both the Los Angeles Rams and Chargers...”(SoFi体育场是洛杉矶公羊队和闪电队的主场......)。虽然两支球队都以此为主场,但在NFL(美国国家橄榄球联盟)的常规安排中,Los Angeles Rams(洛杉矶公羊队) 通常被认为是该体育场的“主队”或主要租户,且文中首先提及。此外,结合常识,作为主场球队,他们在这里的比赛场次通常是最多的。故本题选B。
(2)考查细节理解。根据最后一段“Hotels”部分:“For a prime location, check out Sonder Lum Hotel right across the street from the stadium...”(为了绝佳的地理位置,可以看看就在体育场街对面的Sonder Lum酒店)。文中用了“right across the street”(就在街对面)来形容,这是距离最近的。其他选项都需要开车或有一定距离。故本题选A。
(3)考查细节理解。根据第三段“ Parking”部分:“You can book parking in advance via Park Whiz, an app that lets you purchase parking pass for specific events.”(你可以通过Park Whiz应用提前预订停车,该应用允许你购买特定活动的停车通行证)。虽然文中提到了“in advance”(提前),但选项B“Prepay the parking fee”(预付停车费)不如C“Obtain a parking pass”(获得停车通行证)准确,因为系统是通过购买通行证(Pass)来管理的,而不仅仅是预付费用。故选C。

Not long ago,my son Kevin asked me about the meaning of a word in a novel he was reading. "Look it up," I responded automatically.We were sitting next to a bookshelf holding at least three dictionaries.Kevin sighed dramatically. "Can't you just use your phone?"
A terrifying thought occurred to me. "Do you even know how to use a dictionary?"
"Of course," he scoffed. "Every chapter is a different letter." I laughed out loud.I had never thought of the dictionary as something read from beginning to end.
We pored over a paperback dictionary together.It took Kevin a few tries to find the word,and he was overwhelmed that an entire page could be devoted to words sharing the same three beginning letters. "How can there be this many words?" he asked,with alternating horror and awe.
I was just a bit older than Kevin when I decided to learn as many words as I could,marking every entry I looked up with a small penciled dot.The dictionary was a gift for my 13th birthday.Although neither of my parents went to college,they made clear that my education was a family priority.I marked up my dictionary because I enjoyed the process.I did it for the experience,not the result.
The dictionary was stolen at the end of my freshman year of college.When Kevin asked to see it,a small pain gripped my chest. "The book is gone," I said.
"That is so sad," he said. "But you still know all those words,even without the book."
I realized this was true.It was not the dictionary that got me there.It is not about the words themselves or how we learn them,but the wanting to know them—the curiosity (好奇心) and the appetite.
(1)What does Kevin usually do to get the meaning of word?
A.Use electronic devices.
B.Consult a paper dictionary.
C.Guess from the context.
D.Turn to his English teacher.
(2)How did Kevin feel while looking up the word in the dictionary?
A.Annoyed.
B.Disappointed.
C.Encouraged.
D.Astonished.
(3)What can we learn about the author's first dictionary?
A.It helped her through the college.
B.It was given to Kevin as a gift.
C.It bore witness to her efforts.
D.It was a valuable limited edition.
(4)What has the author come to realize about learning?
A.It is never too late to start.
B.Motivation is what really matters.
C.Children need role models.
D.Dictionaries are still a useful tool.

C
New York City is planting tens of thousands of trees each year.They provide shade,lower surface temperatures,absorb airborne carbon,and offer wildlife habitat along with just plainbeauty.What could go wrong?
Actually,something could,according to a new study.Oaks and sweetgums,which account for a majority of the city's trees,produce huge amounts of volatile compounds called isoprenes (异戊二烯).Harmless by themselves,isoprenes interact rapidly with nitrogen oxides emitted by vehicles to form ground﹣level ozone,a prime factor in many respiratory ailments such as asthma.
The research found that if the city maintains past species patterns,isoprene production in Manhattan will rise by about 140%,and summer ozone levels by as much as 30%.
"We're all for planting more trees.They bring so many good things." said study coauthor Roisin Commane. "But if we're not careful,we could make air quality worse."
But isoprene from trees alone is not to blame.Ozone cannot form without nitrogen oxides,emitted during the burning of fossil fuels by vehicles and industry.Many city dwellers remain oblivious to this connection,assuming trees can only ever clean the air. "If we lowered emissions significantly,trees would not be a problem," said lead author Dandan Wei. "It is the cars."
The Parks Department is aware of the issue.Like the study authors,scientist Novem Auyeung said trees should not be viewed as the enemy. "We could plant any trees we want,if we just rethink our car﹣centric lifestyle," she said.
In fact,the department has already reduced the proportion of oaks it plants in favor of a more diverse mix,mainly to protect against pests.Oaks are keystone species,providing food and habitat for native insects and birds.Importantly,northern red oaks can function in high temperatures when other trees shut down. "There are still wonderful reasons to have them around," said Commane.
(1)What does the new study imply regarding oaks and sweetgums?
A.The affect the growth of other trees.
B.They absorb less carbon than expected.
C.They harm people's health indirectly.
D.They raise the local temperature slowly.
(2)Which of the following may Commane suggest based on their study?
A.Cutting down the isoprene﹣producing trees.
B.Suspending tree﹣planting for a few decades.
C.Changing the species of trees in new plantings.
D.Removing isoprene released by existing trees.
(3)What does the underlined phrase"oblivious to"in paragraph 5 mean?
A.Honest about.
B.Unaware of.
C.Related to.
D.Optimistic about.
(4)What would Auyeung probably advocate?
A.Reducing car use in daily life.
B.Providing animals with new habitats.
C.Controlling population growth.
D.Doing more research on the problem.

文章大意:本文介绍了纽约市大规模种树的背景,引出一项新研究:以橡树和枫香树为主的树种会释放异戊二烯,这种物质与汽车尾气中的氮氧化物反应会生成地面臭氧,进而引发哮喘等呼吸系统疾病。文章指出,问题的根源是汽车尾气,但种植单一树种也会加剧问题,因此需要调整树种搭配,并改变以汽车为中心的生活方式。
(1)考查细节理解。文章第二段提到,橡树和枫香树会释放异戊二烯,这种物质本身无害,但会与汽车排放的氮氧化物反应,生成地面臭氧,而臭氧是哮喘等呼吸系统疾病的主要诱因。A项干扰其他树木生长,文中无依据;B项吸碳量低于预期,第一段只说树木整体吸碳,没有对比橡树吸碳能力;D项缓慢抬升局部气温,原文说树木整体降温,错误。故本题选C。
(2)考查推理判断。文章提到,研究作者Commune表示“我们都支持种更多树,但如果不小心,可能会让空气质量变差”;后文也提到公园部门已经减少了橡树的种植比例,改用更多样化的树种。C选项(Changing the species of trees in new plantings):调整新种植的树种,减少释放异戊二烯的树种,是合理的建议,与原文的倾向一致。A选项:文中提到橡树有重要的生态价值,Commune也说“它们仍有很多很棒的存在理由”,不会建议直接砍伐,排除。B选项:作者明确表示支持种树,只是要更谨慎,不会建议暂停几十年,排除。D选项:文中没有提到如何去除已释放的异戊二烯,这在现实中也不具备可行性,排除。故本题选C。
(3)考查词义猜测。文章第五段提到,“Many city dwellers remain oblivious to this connection, assuming trees can only ever clean the air.” 即很多城市居民认为树木只会净化空气,没有意识到树木与汽车尾气共同作用会加剧臭氧污染的联系。可知许多城市居民仍未能意识到这一关联,所以oblivious to表示未意识到、不知情,相当于Unaware of。A. Honest about(坦诚);C. Related to(相关);D. Optimistic about(乐观)均不符。.故本题选B。
(4)考查推理判断。文章第六段提到,科学家Auyeung表示“我们不必把树木当成敌人,如果我们重新思考以汽车为中心的生活方式,就可以种任何我们想种的树”。B:给动物新栖息地,不是她的观点;C:控制人口增长,全文无提及;D:针对问题做更多研究,她重点讲生活方式调整,而非科研。故本题选A。

Since the dawn of philosophy,thinkers from Plato to Kant have considered how beauty affects the human mind.Now,a new study from the University of Cambridge suggests that contemplating the beauty of artistic objects boosts our ability to think in abstract ways and see the bigger picture.
Researchers say engaging with beauty helps us escape the mental trappings of daily life and break our everyday patterns of thought,shifting us into a more expansive state of mind.
A team of Cambridge psychologists used the University's modern art gallery as a living laboratory.For the study,187 people visited an exhibition of handmade clay objects. "Ceramics (陶瓷) were ideal," said Professor Simone Schnall. "A glorious painting would be too striking.We needed art subtle in form,requiring focused contemplation."
Participants were split into two groups.The beauty group was asked to give a rating of how beautiful each object was,while the control group simply matched a line drawing with the artwork.The rating task,though simple,made all the difference.
The beauty group scored almost 14% higher than the control group in abstract thinking,and reported greater interest in life's bigger questions.They also felt more moved,enlightened and inspired.
Importantly,however,the beauty group felt no happier than the control group.The researchers asked about these feelings on purpose:by ruling out mood,they could pin down the true factor behind the improved thinking.It was the engagement with beauty itself,not the difficulty of the task or any passing good mood.
"People today are often tethered to their devices,thinking in very concrete terms," added Schnall. "Admiring beauty may be the ideal way to trigger the abstract,critical thinking increasingly lost in a world of screens." The findings,she suggests,point to a simple lesson:
encouraging people to slow down and engage with beauty can sharpen the way they think.
(1)What was the task of the "beauty group"?
A.Matching line drawings with objects.
B.Rating how beautiful each object was.
C.Creating their own clay subjects.
D.Describing their daily worries.
(2)According to the study,which group was more likely to think beyond daily life?
A.The beauty group,who showed greater interest in bigger questions.
B.The beauty group,who felt much happier after wards.
C.The control group,who showed stronger abstract thinking.
D.The control group,who felt more enlightened.
(3)Why did the researchers ask about the participants' feelings?
A.To compare the two groups' scores.
B.To judge their specific thinking patterns.
C.To measure the difficulty of the task.
D.To identify the true factor behind the results.
(4)What does the study encourage people to do?
A.Visit galleries more often.
B.Spend less time on screens.
C.Buy handmade ceramics.
D.Develop their critical thinking.

(3)第三段提到AI可以比人眼更细致地检查艺术品,还能预测画作老化,提前预防损坏。空处需要总结这些能力的作用。A选项“These capabilities make AI a powerful tool for art restoration.(这些能力使AI成为艺术品修复的强大工具。)”,承接前文的检测、预测功能,引出“保护与修复”这一主题。故本题选A。
(4)第四段开头提到AI可以为游客打造个性化体验,后文举例:好奇的孩子和专业艺术专家,面对同一幅画会得到完全不同的导览。空处需要解释AI如何实现个性化。D选项“It tailors recommendations to different ages and learning styles.(它根据不同年龄和学习风格定制推荐。)”,直接对应后文的例子,解释了个性化体验的实现方式。故本题选D。
(5)最后一段提到AI的应用引发担忧,因为系统会收集大量个人信息,后文提到“需要严格规则保护隐私”。空处需要说明数据收集带来的问题。B选项“Visitor data,if misused,could lead to serious privacy issues.(游客数据如果被滥用,可能导致严重的隐私问题。)”,承接前文的数据收集,引出后文的隐私保护措施,逻辑闭环。故本题选B。
When I was two years old,my family moved from Cincinnati to a little town in northeast Ohio called Cortland.The 41 that people only really knew Ohio for the three C's﹣Cleveland,Cincinnati,or Columbus(not Cortland!)﹣came quickly when I decided to go to school in central Pennsylvania.The truth is,I never considered myself"Midwestern"until I left Ohio.You'd think that people would realize that we were neighboring states,but the people at my"East Coast"school thought of Ohio as a whole different world.Half of my peers didn't even realize I lived 42 three and a half hours away."Do you have to fly home?Do you live on a farm?Is there even anything in Ohio worth seeing?"The 43 are never﹣ending.I was a unicorn in their eyes,a 44 .Or,on second thought,maybe just a country hick.Don't even get me started on the"pop"versus"soda"debate...
As I grow older,I'm more and more 45 for my small town roots.Sure,my friends and I loved to 46 about how bored we were in the middle of nowhere, 47 ,as I finish up my junior year of college,I'm convinced that it took 48 our small town to realize how much we actually did love it and what exactly we loved about it.
We grew up amongst corn fields,spent summers by Mosquito Lake,and learned to ride our bike on the hill with the rest of the kids in the neighborhood.We played kick ball and Red Rover in the empty lot down the street,caught snapping turtles in the creek and snakes in the shared vegetable garden behind the fence,and spent many an afternoon exploring the woods behind our houses.We counted the days until the county fair,prayed for snow days,we' re forced into corn hole competitions by our dads,never viewed burnt out headlights as anything other than padiddles,and have all run a red light at some point at one of the five stoplights in town.I might be showing my affinity toward the midwest lifestyle,but all of these things taught have taught me important life lessons.
For one,the pace of life isn't anxiety provoking and people really 49 connecting to each other.That means that you do more than just talk to your next door neighbors﹣in a lot of cases,they're truly an 50 of your family.So much of this 51 revolves around being outside and knowing the ins and outs of the town,being present and mindful of your 52 is a critical part of the culture.The gift of being able to grow up slowly is another invaluable treasure that I was given by my small town.Sure,there will always be a little bit of"keeping up with the Jones',"or rather the"advanced"girls,but I never felt pressure to rush through my childhood or to act older than I was﹣heck,I was still playing with American Girl dolls in middle school!
As I move through my college years,I 53 the visits to my little hometown.A huge perk has been the memories that I made with the people that I was lucky enough to know,and maybe wouldn't have if our school district didn't have just one building for each the elementary,middle,and high schools.There were no more than 130 kids in my public school graduating class and we had known each other since kindergarten.My life would be so different without the midwestern friendliness and hospitality that I've been exposed to through the years and which has acted as my compass growing up.I am grateful for the 54 that I had growing up and know that wherever my next adventure takes me,I can 55 my small town roots to lead me in the right direction.

正确答案
College life presents us with countless possibilities, ranging from academic pursuit to social connection and personal growth. However, true wisdom lies not in grasping everything at once, but in knowing what deserves priority. Taking both personal growth and sustainable development into account, my priority would be sleep first, study second and socializing third.
Sleep deserves top priority due to the fact that a well-rested mind not only allows me to absorb knowledge more efficiently,but also remain emotionally stable when facing pressure.On this foundation, study naturally comes second,enabling me to deepen professional knowledge,sharpen independent thinking as well as prepare myself for future challenges with lasting concentration. Socializing, though valuable in broadening horizons and developing cooperation, should be placed third, since meaningful relationships grow from sincerity rather than endless gatherings.
From my perspective, only when rest fuels learning and social life serves can college years lead us toward balanced development, lasting progress and a fuller version of ourselves.

Emily Sanders,a 25﹣year﹣old from Detroit,Michigan,set out on December 23rd with high hopes of reaching Toronto to meet her boyfriend for Christmas.Although she had heard about an approaching snowstorm,she didn't give it much thought.She assumed that much like in Michigan,police would simply detour (使绕道) traffic around any closed sections of the highway.But that didn't happen.As the snow came down more and more heavily,Emily was directed off the highway.She drove on for a while and found herself on an unfamiliar road toward a Canadian town.
The blinding whiteout made driving nearly impossible.At one point,Emily's car got stuck.After a struggle,she managed to free the vehicle and continued inching along the snow﹣covered road.As night fell,panic set in.While Emily was driving on a narrow stretch of road,her car slid into a ditch (沟).She tied to call for help but found no signal on her phone.Seeing no hope of immediate rescue,Emily decided to spend the night in her car.She wrapped herself in a blanket,waiting for morning.To stay warm,she ran her engine for a few minutes every now and then.Eventually,she fell asleep.
Emily awoke to a gentle knock on her car window.Standing outside were Daniel and his wife Rachel,who noticed the stranded (被困的) vehicle on their way home and stopped to see if they could help.When Emily rolled down the window,Rachel asked if she was okay and told her it was not safe to stay overnight in the car.With genuine warmth in her voice,Rachel said they could take Emily to a nearby cafe they knew.Grateful and relieved,Emily accepted the offer.In the cafe,the couple bought Emily a hot chocolate and listened patiently as she explained her desperate situation:she was about a hundred miles from her destination,her car was completely stuck,and her entire holiday plan could be ruined.
注意:
The couple suggested that Emily take a train to meet her boyfriend.________
Three days later,Emily came back to pick up her car.________
正确答案
The couple suggested Emily take the train to Toronto. They explained that her car was badly damaged and needed professional repair,which might take days.
Although disappointed about missing the direct driven, Emily realized this was the only safe option to keep her promise. Daniel kindly drove her to the nearest station,ensuring she boarded safely. On the train,watching the snowy landscape blur past, Emily felt a surge of gratitude not just for reaching her destination,but for the warmth of strangers. When she finally arrived in Toronto, her boyfriend rushed to hug her,relieved and overjoyed.She shared the story of Daniel and Rachel,realizing that the journey itself had become a precious gift of human kindness.
Three days later,Emily came back to get her car. The storm had passed,leaving the world sparkling under the winter sun.To her surprise,Daniel and Rachel were waiting by her repaired car with hot cocoa.“We couldn't let you face the cold again,” Rachel smiled.Tears welled up in Emily's eyes as she hugged them tightly. The car ran smoothly now,but what truly warmed her heart was the bond formed in hardship. She promised to visit them every Christmas,turning a near-disaster into a lifelong friendship.As she drove away,the golden sunlight seemed to wrap around her like a blanket of love, proving that even in the harshest winters kindness blooms like spring flowers.
