SoFi Stadium Events This Month
SoFi Stadium is the go-to destination in the heart of Los Angeles for sports fans.
Its calendar is always packed with headline-grabbing events.

Los Angeles Chargers v Los Angeles Rams Saturday, August 16 4:00 PM

Nearby Hotels
When attending an event at SoFi Stadium, you’re just a short walk or ride from
several comfortable and classy hotels. Right across the street, Sonder Lüm Hotel offers
spacious rooms and a rooftop pool. A mile away, the H Hotel Los Angeles, with its
stylish design, is ideal for a nice stay between events. For those seeking both comfort
and convenience, the Renaissance Los Angeles Airport Hotel is just a short drive away.
If you’re willing to drive a little further, the Ritz-Carlton Los Angeles promises
luxurious rooms and extensive leisure facilities — perfect for turning a game day into a
great weekend escape.
Parking
SoFi Stadium requires you to park strictly in your assigned zone, and guests must
enter through the exact gate indicated on their color-coded digital parking pass. If you
enter through the wrong access point, you’ll be turned around and redirected — so plan
ahead. Each parking zone consists of multiple lots, designed to efficiently manage
traffic across the venue’s network. Make sure to download your parking pass to your
smartphone before arrival. Upon entering the correct zone, parking staff will guide you
directly to a space. For those wishing to park near friends, all vehicles must have passes
for the same zone and arrive together — spaces cannot be saved.

Not long ago, my fifth-grade son Kevin asked me about the meaning of a word in a
novel. “Look it up,” I responded. “But my screen time is off,” he said. I looked
pointedly at the bookshelf that held at least three dictionaries, and Kevin sighed (叹气)
dramatically. “Can’t you just use your phone ” he asked. Suddenly it occurred to me
that he did not even know how to use a dictionary.
I took down one of the dictionaries, and we read it together for a few minutes
before I handed it to him. It took him a few tries to find the word in question. While
going through the pages, he kept saying, wide-eyed: “How can there be this many
words ” After a while, he looked at me and asked, “Do you know all these words,
Mom ” I smiled. “I definitely do not know all these words,” I said. “But that’s why this
is one of my favorite books.”
I had my first dictionary as a gift for my 13th birthday. I decided that I wanted to
learn as many words as I could and started marking every entry I looked up with a
pencil to measure my progress. I continued to make these pencil marks for years, and
when I went off to college, I packed that dictionary in my suitcase.
Kevin wanted to see the dictionary. I felt a small pain in my chest. The dictionary
was stolen at the end of my freshman year of college. “That’s so sad,” he said, “but you
still know all those words, even without the book.” I realized that this was true. I still
made it through the next three years of college, even without the book. And it wasn’t,
ultimately, the dictionary that got me there — not really.
高三七月检测(英语) 第 4 页 共 12 页
Now I understand that although my son may be learning differently, he is still
learning. It’s not about the words themselves or how we learn them, but the wanting to
know them, the curiosity and the appetite.
24. What does Kevin usually do to get the meaning of a word
A. Use electronic devices. B. Consult a paper dictionary.
C. Guess from the context. D. Turn to his English teacher.
25. How did Kevin feel while looking up the word in the dictionary
A. Annoyed. B. Disappointed. C. Encouraged. D. Astonished.
26. What can we learn about the author’s first dictionary
A. It helped her through college. B. It was given to Kevin as a gift.
C. It bore witness to her efforts. D. It was a valuable limited edition.
27. 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
In line with longstanding initiatives to expand its green spaces, New York City is
planting tens of thousands of trees each year. They provide shade, lower surface
temperatures, absorb a surprising amount of airborne carbon, remove tiny pollutants,
and provide wildlife habitat along with just plain beauty.
Something could go wrong, though, according to a new study. Oaks and
sweetgums, which currently account for a majority of the city’s trees, produce huge
amounts of a chemical substance called isoprene. Harmless by itself, isoprene interacts
rapidly with polluting nitrogen oxides released by vehicles, buildings and industry to
form ground-level ozone (臭氧) — a major factor in many breathing problems.
The research, carried out by scientists at the Columbia Climate School and other
institutions, found that if the city maintains past species patterns in new plantings,
isoprene production in Manhattan in coming decades will go up by about 140%, and
resulting summer ozone levels as much as 30%.
“We’re all for planting more trees. They bring so many good things,” said study
coauthor Róisín Commane. “But if we’re not careful, we could make air quality worse.”
高三七月检测(英语) 第 5 页 共 12 页
The Parks Department is not oblivious to the issue. A study carried out by some of
its researchers several years ago concluded that city trees did release isoprene. “We
didn’t make a big deal of that,” said Novem Auyeung, a Parks Department senior
scientist. She said trees should not be viewed as the enemy. “We could plant any trees
we want to, if we just rethink our car-centric lifestyle,” she said.
“We’re not going to go cutting down any big old oaks,” and neither will the
department completely stop planting new ones, said Auyeung. “You have to think about
what you would lose if you do that.” Oaks are keystone species, she pointed out,
providing food and habitat for native insects, birds and other animals.
28. What does the new study imply regarding oaks and sweetgums
A. They 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.
29. 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.
30. What does the underlined phrase “oblivious to” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Honest about. B. Unaware of. C. Related to. D. Optimistic about.
31. 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.
D
A team of Cambridge psychologists conducted an experiment to compare the
cognitive (认知的) effects of merely seeing art with actively judging how beautiful it is.
In the study, 187 people were invited to visit Kettle’s Yard gallery during an
exhibition of handmade clay objects. Participants were randomly divided into two
groups: the “beauty” group was asked to actively consider and then rate the beauty of
each object they viewed, while the control group just matched a line drawing of the
高三七月检测(英语) 第 6 页 共 12 页
object with the artwork itself. All participants were then tested on how they process
information, and whether it’s in a more practical or abstract way.
Across all participants, those in the beauty group scored almost 14% higher on
average than the control group in abstract thinking. While they were told the study was
about cognitive processes, participants were asked about interests, with around half
saying they had an artistic hobby. Among those, the effect was greater: those with an
artistic hobby in the beauty group scored over 25% higher on average for abstract
thinking than those with an artistic hobby in the control group.
Emotional states of participants were also measured by asking about their feelings
while completing the gallery task. Across all participants, those in the beauty group
reported an average of 23% higher levels of “transformative and self-transcendent
feelings” — such as feeling moved, enlightened and inspired — than the control group.
Importantly, however, the beauty group did not report feeling any happier than the
control group, suggesting that it was the engagement with beauty that influenced
abstract thinking, rather than any overall positivity from the experience.
“We usually think in very concrete terms when doing something on a screen,” said
Simone Schnall, senior author of the study. “It’s becoming much rarer to zone out and
just let the mind wander, but that’s when we think in ways that broaden our minds.
Admiring the beauty of art may be the ideal way to initiate the abstract cognitive
processes.”
32. What was the beauty group asked to do with the clay objects
A. Draw their outlines. B. Give each piece a rating.
C. Compare their prices. D. Make a copy of each piece.
33. Which participants got the highest score on average in the test
A. Beauty group, with an artistic hobby.
B. Beauty group, without an artistic hobby.
C. Control group, with an artistic hobby.
D. Control group, without an artistic hobby.
34. Why were the participants’ emotional states measured
A. To discover their attitudes towards art.
B. To identify their specific thinking patterns.
C. To examine the difficulty of the tasks.
D. To determine factors behind the test results.
高三七月检测(英语) 第 7 页 共 12 页
35. What is the major finding of the study regarding the appreciation of art
A. It enhances emotional ties. B. It needs critical thinking skills.
C. It creates positive feelings. D. It encourages abstract thinking.

Museums, once quiet places filled with history, are now full of digital excitement.
By using machine learning and advanced algorithms (算法 ), these institutions are
creating personalized visitor journeys, protecting delicate collections, and revealing
hidden stories. 36
AI transforms a standard museum trip into a personalized and interactive adventure.
Smart recommendation engines analyze data such as exhibit popularity and visitors’
past behavior to suggest specific exhibits and events, making each visit unique and
surprising. 37 These digital assistants engage visitors in dynamic
conversations and offer context-sensitive insights that deepen understanding and satisfy
curiosity.
Beyond visitor interaction, AI plays a crucial role in preserving priceless artworks.
Since the exhibits in museums sustain natural decay (破损) over time, early detection is
vital. AI can help identify the slightest signs of decay, such as cracks or discoloration,
which are often invisible to the human eye. 38 Moreover, by predicting
future decay patterns, AI helps museums take preventive measures and improve
preservation strategies.
AI also significantly enhances the educational value of museums,
particularly for children and families. 39 For instance, interactive
exhibits powered by AI can adjust their content and difficulty level based on the
user’s preferences and responses. This adaptability ensures that complex historical
concepts become accessible and engaging for young minds.
Looking ahead, the rapid advancement of AI promises both exciting possibilities
and ethical (伦理的 ) challenges. Museums are working together with AI ethicists to
develop fair algorithms. 40 Strict policies should be established to
protect visitors’ information.
高三七月检测(英语) 第 8 页 共 12 页
A. This capability allows for timely restoration.
B. Visitor data collection also raises privacy issues.
C. In short, AI is redefining the museum in all respects.
D. It tailors learning experiences to different age groups and learning styles.
E. Museums are not only places to store artworks, but also spaces for learning.
F. Furthermore, AI-powered virtual guides are replacing traditional tour guides.
G. AI is changing this by using image recognition technology to analyze exhibits.

短文。
It was June, the last day of school. My class of first-graders was eagerly
anticipating their summer vacation. To add a joyful flavor, I had some balloons brought
in, but for me, this holiday was bittersweet. I’d just moved to this city and couldn’t
afford to fly back to accompany Dad. He was desperately missing me, for it was his first
summer without me.
高三七月检测(英语) 第 11 页 共 12 页
When switching off the light on my way out, I noticed the balloons near the
window. Unsure what to do with them, I grabbed the thirteen strings and stuffed them
into the backseat of my car. Their rainbow of colors lifted my spirits and gratefully, I
didn’t feel so alone.
As the city was still foreign to me, I decided to go for a drive and soon found
myself winding down a stretch of road where the trees overhead covered each other.
The branches reminded me of two friends stretching out to greet each other. Before long,
a retirement home appeared. It was a place with a feeling of forgottenness and I spotted
a man sitting alone in the shade outside.
I felt a sudden urge to pull in. But the balloons in my backseat blocked my view —
then I knew what to do with them. Opening the door and grabbing one of the strings, I
waved to the man, and he smiled. His name was Daniel and he was about Dad’s age.
When I handed him the balloon, he grinned, “Thanks. It gives a little color to my life.”
While tying it to his chair, he looked happier than when I arrived. So I smiled, “You’re
welcome, Daniel. Perhaps I’ll see you again sometime.”
Unexpectedly, he replied, “Perhaps, but probably not. Visitors are always welcome,
but rarely come.” His words forced me to slide over an old chair next to his. Then we
began chatting about our lives and his voice always reminded me of Dad. I’d thought it
would be boring talking with a stranger. But it wasn’t; it was enlightening — I had been
feeling lonely, and so had Daniel, and so had the residents in the retirement home.

Dear David,
I’m delighted to share that I won first prize in our school’s “Capture Spring
on Campus” photography contest last week. My photo was taken in front of
the library, where a cherry blossom tree was in full bloom. Petals drifted down
like pink snow, while a few students sat on the grass reading and chatting,
creating a peaceful and lively scene.
Participating in the contest was truly rewarding. Not only did it push me to
observe my surroundings more carefully, but it also helped me appreciate the
subtle beauty of everyday campus life. Winning the prize has greatly boosted
my confidence and deepened my passion for photography.
What about the spring on your campus Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

Then I remembered the other twelve balloons in the backseat. An idea
occurred to me that I could give them to other residents in the retirement
home. The moment I made up my mind, I stood up quickly, raced to my car
and grabbed the balloons. Then I returned, asking Daniel if he could show me
around the retirement room and help me hand the balloons to others. Much to
my astonishment, Daniel agreed immediately, a beaming smile on his face.
Afterwards, Daniel introduced me to his friends with excitement. I presented
them the balloons one by one. Having received the balloons, each of them
grinned and thanked me genuinely. Seeing their wrinkled faces light up, I
realized how much a small act of kindness could mean, a huge sense of
1
delight surging through me.
Over the next six months, I visited Daniel often. Each time we could chat
about our recent lives. Moreover, I could turn to him for suggestions about my
problems I encountered in this city. His patience and guidance always
reminded me of my dad, which made me feel warm. After chatting, Daniel
would show me around and communicate with his friends. Times flew quickly
as I stayed with them. Though we had been strangers initially, never had I
imagined that we could grow close -- so close that the retirement home began
to feel like a second home. It was this enlightening experience that made me
aware that love and connection could take root and bloom, even in unfamiliar
places.
参考范文 1:
Then I remembered the other twelve balloons in the backseat. Thinking their
bright colors could lift the residents’ spirits as they did to me and Daniel, I
asked if I could bring them in. As soon as he heard my question, his eyes lit
up, and he nodded with a smile. With his okay, I jogged to the car, took the
strings of balloons, and walked behind him to visit the residents inside. One
by one, I gave out the balloons. Their faces lit up when they got the balloons,
making me happy. When I looked into Daniel’s thankful eyes, I knew the quiet
retirement home was coming alive, and my loneliness started to fade away.
Over the next six months, I visited Daniel often. My regular visits, along with
little gifts like bright balloons or pretty flowers, clearly made him and the other
residents happy. Daniel talked excitedly about his youth, while I told him funny
stories about my students and how much I missed Dad. His big smile showed
he had waited for me, and I did, too. Hearing his voice, which reminded me of
my dad’s, made me feel calm in this foreign city. When I went back home, I’d
tell Dad how amazing it was to meet Daniel and how those colorful balloon
strings had brought us all together and made everything feel warm and bright.
参考范文 2:
Then I remembered the other twelve balloons in the backseat. Prompted by the
idea that their rainbowy colors might lift the gloom as they did to me and
Daniel, I asked if I could bring them inside. Scarcely had he heard of my
request when his eyes lit up, nodding with beaming smiles. With his approval,
I jogged to the car, gathered the strings from the backseat, and followed his
lead to visit the residents inside. One by one, I handed the balloons out, and
their faces brightened as the colors reached them, injecting me with elation.
Meeting Daniel’s grateful eyes, I knew the once asleep retirement home had
been waking into life, and somehow my loneliness dissipated.
Over the next six months, I visited Daniel often. It was without doubt that my
frequent visits and the surprise I prepared—vibrant balloons or bunches of
flowers—uplifted him and the residents. Daniel shared his youth in high spirits
while I told him anecdotes about my life with students and how much I missed
2
Dad. From his grins, I could tell he had waited for the regular visits, and so
had I—for the voice that resembled Dad’s, comforting my restless mind in the
foreign city. When back home, I’d tell Dad how magical it was to encounter a
man who brought him back to me and how the strings of colorful balloons tied
us together and lit up everything.

and manageable. Unlike London, you don’t feel constant pressure here. (6)
M: Was this lifestyle why you first came
W: No, I originally came for a three-month project at a law firm. (7) After finishing it, they
offered me a permanent job. I took it and stayed.

Text 8 (第 11题为推断题)【AI音乐】
W: Dear listeners. The song we’ve just heard was made with an AI version of Jenny’s singing
voice.
M: Yeah. Earlier this year, Jenny announced that she’d let anybody make a song using her AI
voice as long as they were entitled and shared their profits with her. And in just a few
weeks, more than 300 new songs were created using her AI voice. (12)
W: Incredible. Just imagine: Jenny may have been at home, drinking a glass of wine, while her
AI-cloned voice worked hard to sing her songs. This could be an attractive new business
model for a pop star. (12)
M: Indeed. But some of our listeners called to say they want to hear Jenny’s real voice. Now
let’s play one of her greatest hits: “Show Me Your Love”. (13)
Text 9【古巴比伦食谱】
M: Dr. Evans, (14) you just said that these ancient texts are actually the recipes from ancient
Babylonia. Can you tell us more
W: Ancient Babylonia is home to many of the things that we use in our cooking today. I bet
about 50 percent of the energy you need every day comes from vegetables or animals that
originated in this area. (14)
M: Why have these texts taken so long to come to light
W: These ancient texts have been known since the 1920s but were thought to be medical texts.
(15) In the 1940s, Mary Hussey, an American scholar, suggested that they might be about
food. But people didn’t believe her until French author, Jean Bottéro, in the 1980s was
asked to write an article about cooking in the past. He had heard about the texts, so he
went to Yale University, and found out that they were indeed about food. (16)
Text 10【实验室安全须知】
Before we begin today’s experiment, let’s review the lab rules. First, safety glasses must be
worn at all times, even if you’re only watching. (17) Second, never mix chemicals unless the
instructions tell you to do so. Today we’re using a strong acid which can cause serious burns if it
touches your skin. If any chemical container is knocked over, don’t panic. Tell me
immediately and I’ll handle the cleanup. (18) Also, keep your hair tied back and avoid wearing
loose clothes. We will work in pairs. One person will handle the tools while the other records the
data. Switch roles after every three trials to ensure everyone gets practice. (19) Remember: the
goal is accurate data, not speed. If you finish early, do not start a new experiment. Instead,
clean your workspace thoroughly. (20) Any questions No All right. Let’s have a safe and
productive class.
