编者按：这是上海市最后一次通过调频广播（FM89.9）向全社会公开播出高考听力试题内容。自2025年1月起，听力考试改为听说考试，形式改为机考。此前，北京、天津等多地均有通过调频广播播出听力内容的先例，后相继取消，只有上海坚持至今。
Section A
Directions: In Section A, you will hear 10 short conversations between two speakers. At the end of each conversation, a question will be asked about what was said.

**Questions 11 to 13 are based on the following passage: **
Popcorn is a popular snack, but its origin dates back thousands of years. Back then, in North America, native people first discovered corn burst open when heated. In 1519, when the Spanish army conquered some parts of north America, a soldier first saw popcorn when he met the native people. Popcorn was important to the natives as food and as decorations for their head dresses on great occasions. Around 1612, French explorers around the Great Lakes in America met native people who use heated sand to make popcorn. Story has it that a native man brought a bag of popcorn to celebrate the big harvest in 1621. In America, popcorn gained popularity at fierce starting from the late 19th century due to its affordability and ease of consumption on the go. The mass production and commercialization of popcorn began during the early 20th century, with the invention of the device designed specifically for making this snack. However, popcorn didn’t become popular among movie-goers until the mid-20th century. Today, it is enjoyed worldwide both in its traditional form and with various flavors.

**Questions 14 to 16 are based on the following passage: **
In today's class I’ll introduce the scientific method. It is a process used by scientists to explore the natural world and acquire new knowledge. It follows 5 steps: observing, proposing an explanation, experimenting, analyzing, and making conclusions.
First, a scientist observes interesting things in the world. For example, he might notice that plants grew bigger when watered daily. Based on his observations, he then comes up with a possible explanation that needs to be proved. In our example, the scientists assumes that watering plants daily helps them grow larger.
After that, he designs and carries out experiments to test this explanation. He might set up an experiment where some plants are watered daily, while others are not, to see if there’s a difference in growth between the two groups. After collecting data from his experiments, the scientist analyzes it to determine whether his explanation is supported. In our example, the growth of both groups of plants would be measured and compared.
Finally, the scientist draws a conclusion about what he has learned. If his explanation was correct, he might adjust it to be more specific or test it further. If it was incorrect, a new explanation would be needed for his observations. So, if the watered plants didn’t grow larger, he would need to consider alternative explanations and test them instead.
- What is the passage mainly about?
- According to the passage, what is the next step after a scientist comes up with an explanation for his observations?
- If watering plants didn’t make them grow larger, what will the scientist need to do?
