The five-week Farm to School program is a partnership between Escondido Union School District and the Farm to Institution Center. It encourages elementary school children to try vegetables they may not have tried before. “I think that understanding just the roots of where our food comes from and how it gets to our table is meaningful,” said Jeremy Lyche, principal of Bernardo Elementary School. “You saw the kids’ excitement today. They love it.” The students in Paul Erickson’s class have been in the program for over a month. “We’ve been doing multiple lessons where we’re learning about and teaching about local farms in our community, as well as some healthier choices like produce(农产品), just getting students to join in farming.” Erickson said. Once a week for the past five weeks, Alexis Anderson from the Farm to Institution Center has been coming by to teach these kids more about farming and what it takes to get fresh produce to their tables. Wednesday was the students’ last session in the program. She said the main takeaway for the kids is learning where their food comes from. “Eat and support local food because it not only benefits their community economically, but also benefits their health and just education overall of knowing what’s available,” Anderson said. After Wednesday’s lesson, the students went to the school garden for a game of bingo to identify the things they’ve learned. One of the goals of the school garden is for the students to try new things. For Escondido Union School District, the ultimate goal for the school garden is for the produce to end up in the cafeteria for the children to eat. But there are some health regulations the district still needs to overcome before that can happen. 4. What is the purpose of the Farm to School program? A. To promote local farms and their products. B. To provide money for school gardens. C. To get students to know the source of food. D. To motivate children to plant vegetables. 5. What does the underlined word “ takeaway” probably mean in Paragraph 4? A. Focus. B. Gain. C. Challenge. D. Inspiration. 6. Which is the benefit of eating locally according to Anderson? A. It supports the local economy. B. It reduces the food waste. C. It lowers food production cost. D. It improves farming skills. 7. What should the school district do to achieve their goal? A. Expand the garden to produce more food. B. Increase the variety of vegetables grown. C. Train more teachers to take part in the program. D. Ensure the produce meets health regulations. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了北县一个试点项目“农场到学校”项目，该项目旨在让学生了解营养和食物的来源。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A pilot program in North County is teaching students about nutrition and where their food comes from.(北县的一个试点项目正在教授学生关于营养和食物来源的知识。)”可知，农场到学校项目的目的是让学生了解食物的来源。故选C项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前文“Once a week for the past five weeks, Alexis Anderson from the Farm to Institution Center has been coming by to teach these kids more about farming and what it takes to get fresh produce to their tables. Wednesday was the students’ last session in the program.(在过去的五周里，来自农场到机构中心的亚历克西斯·安德森每周都会来一次，教这些孩子更多关于农业的知识，以及如何将新鲜农产品送到他们的餐桌上。周三是学生们参加该项目的最后一节课)”可知，亚历克西斯·安德森每周都会来一次，教这些孩子更多关于农业的知识，以及如何将新鲜农产品送到他们的餐桌上，所以孩子们的主要收获是了解他们的食物来自哪里，推知takeaway是“收获”之意，和B选项“Gain.(收益)”意思相近。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段““Eat and support local food because it not only benefits their community economically, but also benefits their health and just education overall of knowing what’s available,” Anderson said. (安德森说：“吃并支持当地的食物，因为这不仅有利于他们的社区经济，而且有利于他们的健康和了解可用食物的整体教育。”)”可知，吃当地食物的好处是支持当地经济。故选A项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“For Escondido Union School District, the ultimate goal for the school garden is for the produce to end up in the cafeteria for the children to eat. But there are some health regulations the district still needs to overcome before that can happen.(对于Escondido Union School District来说，学校菜园的最终目标是让农产品最终进入食堂，供孩子们食用。但在此之前，该地区仍需要克服一些卫生法规)”可知，学区应该确保农产品符合健康规定才能实现他们的目标。故选D项。 C Perhaps no one knows the power of imagination better than Chinese writer Liu Cixin. Until four years ago, Liu worked full-time as a computer engineer at a power plant in Shanxi province. He only wrote science fiction in his spare time. But it was during this time that Liu’s imagination took flight. He did what he might never have the chance to do in real life — wander in space, fight with aliens, and visit planets light-years away. But even with such a powerful imagination, Liu, 55, probably hadn’t expected that he would become the first Asian to win the Hugo Award, science fiction’s highest prize, in 2015. Perhaps neither did he think that former US president Barack Obama would read his novel The Three-Body Problem, nor that on Nov 9 in Washington DC, he would win the 2018 Arthur C. Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society. It’s the first time a Chinese writer has ever won the award. In his acceptance speech, Liu said that he owed his imagination to Arthur C. Clarke (1917—2008), a famous UK sci-fi author. He said that reading Clarke’s 1968 classic novel 2001: A Space Odyssey in the early 1980s had a great effect on him. “My mind opened up like never before. I felt like a narrow river finally seeing the sea,” Liu said. “That night, in my eyes, the starry sky was completely different from the past. For the first time in my life, I was awed (充满敬畏的) by the mystery of the universe.” But no matter how far away Liu’s imagination takes him, somehow his novels always stay rational (理性的). In The Three-Body Problem, for example, Liu tells a tale of aliens invading Earth. But unlike other alien stories, Liu talks more about relationships between civilizations, rules of survival, and the meanings of life. And in The Wandering Earth, Liu looks ahead to the day when our solar system comes to an end and humans have to look for a new place to live. However, all his visions and solutions are based on “hard science”. Liu’s works aren’t simply daydreams. 8. What can be inferred about Liu Cixin’s professional background as a computer engineer and his sci-fi writing? A. His engineering job provided technical knowledge that grounded his sci-fi in “hard science.” B. His work at the power plant directly inspired the plots of The Three-Body Problemand The Wandering Earth. C. He quit his job immediately after winning the Hugo Award to focus full-time on writing. D. His engineering skills made him more critical of traditional sci-fi’s lack of scientific rigor. 9. The passage mentions that Liu Cixin “stayed rational” in his novels despite his vast imagination. Which of the following best explains the significance of this balance? A. It distinguishes his works from other sci-fi that prioritize emotional storytelling over logic. B. It allows his speculative ideas (e.g., alien invasions, solar system collapse) to explore deeper themes like civilization survival. C. It reflects his belief that imagination without scientific basis is unworthy of being called “sci-fi.” D. It makes his novels more accessible to readers unfamiliar with complex scientific concepts. 10. Why does the author highlight that Liu Cixin was the “first Asian” to win the Hugo Award and the first Chinese writer to win the Arthur C. Clarke Award? A. To emphasize the global recognition of Chinese sci-fi’s growing influence. B. To criticize Western-dominated literary awards for overlooking Asian authors previously. C. To suggest that Liu’s success was due to his unique cultural perspective as a Chinese writer. D. To imply that these awards are less prestigious than others he might have won. 11. Liu Cixin compared reading 2001: A Space Odysseyto “a narrow river finally seeing the sea.” What does this metaphor reveal about the impact of Clarke’s work on him? A. It expanded his understanding of the universe and ignited his sense of awe toward cosmic mystery. B. It taught him technical writing skills that he later applied to his own novels. C. It made him realize that sci-fi should focus on individual rather than universal themes. D. It convinced him to abandon his engineering career to pursue writing full-time. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了中国科幻作家刘慈欣的成就、创作灵感来源以及其作品的特点，展现了他在科幻文学领域的影响力。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Until four years ago, Liu worked full-time as a computer engineer at a power plant in Shanxi province. (直到四年前，刘慈欣还在山西省的一家发电厂担任全职计算机工程师)”以及最后一段“However, all his visions and solutions are based on “hard science”. Liu’s works aren’t simply daydreams. (然而，他所有的构想和解决方案都基于 “硬科学”。刘慈欣的作品不仅仅是白日梦)”可知，刘慈欣的工程师工作为他提供了技术知识，使他的科幻作品以“硬科学”为基础。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But no matter how far away Liu’s imagination takes him, somehow his novels always stay rational (理性的). In The Three-Body Problem, for example, Liu tells a tale of aliens invading Earth. But unlike other alien stories, Liu talks more about relationships between civilizations, rules of survival, and the meanings of life. And in The Wandering Earth, Liu looks ahead to the day when our solar system comes to an end and humans have to look for a new place to live. However, all his visions and solutions are based on “hard science”. (但无论刘慈欣的想象力带他走多远，他的小说总能保持理性。例如，在《三体》中，刘慈欣讲述了一个外星人入侵地球的故事。但与其他外星故事不同，刘慈欣更多地谈论文明之间的关系、生存规则和生命的意义。在《流浪地球》中，刘慈欣展望了太阳系终结、人类不得不寻找新居住地的那一天。然而，他所有的构想和解决方案都基于“硬科学”)”可知，这种理性与想象力的平衡，使得他那些具有推测性的想法（如外星人入侵、太阳系毁灭）能够探讨更深层次的主题，如文明生存等。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Perhaps neither did he think that former US president Barack Obama would read his novel The Three-Body Problem, nor that on Nov 9 in Washington DC, he would win the 2018 Arthur C. Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society. It’s the first time a Chinese writer has ever won the award. (他大概也想不到，美国前总统巴拉克・奥巴马会阅读他的小说《三体》，更想不到2018年11月9日在华盛顿特区，他会荣获“阿瑟・C・克拉克想象力服务社会奖”，这是中国作家首次获此殊荣)”，文中提到刘慈欣是首位获得雨果奖的亚洲人以及首位获得阿瑟・C・克拉克奖的中国作家，结合他在国际上的知名度和其作品的影响力，可知作者强调这一点是为了突出中国科幻日益增长的全球影响力获得了国际认可。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段““My mind opened up like never before. I felt like a narrow river finally seeing the sea,” Liu said. “That night, in my eyes, the starry sky was completely different from the past. For the first time in my life, I was awed (充满敬畏的) by the mystery of the universe.” (刘慈欣说：“我的思想前所未有地开阔起来。我感觉自己就像一条狭窄的河流终于看到了大海。那天晚上，在我眼中，星空与以往完全不同。我生平第一次对宇宙的奥秘充满了敬畏。”)”可知，这个比喻揭示了克拉克的作品拓宽了他对宇宙的理解，并激发了他对宇宙奥秘的敬畏之情。故选A项。 D Picture this: you are running late to drop your kids off at school in the morning. On top of this, it is pouring rain outside. While you are driving down the highway, another car cuts you off. You begin to think they must be a rude person who is also a terrible driver. A couple of minutes later, you, yourself accidentally cut off someone. You inform yourself your action is a result of the fact that you are late for your child’s drop-off and you cannot see well because of the rain. Why is it that we automatically assume others’ negative actions are a result of who they are as a person while giving ourselves excuses? The actor-observer bias (偏差) is an explanation for this confusing phenomenon. When you explain someone’s behavior based on internal factors, like assuming the person who cuts you off is a rude person, but attributing (把……归因于) your own behavior to external situational factors, you are engaging in the actor-observer bias. So why does the actor-observer effect occur? The general explanation is that it occurs as a defense mechanism for maintaining high personal dignity. We would rather believe that our faults come from factors we cannot control because then we cannot change them and it is easier for us to accept the outcome. The actor-observer bias is the cause of many arguments between the actor and the observer as a result of a misunderstanding of the effect of external and internal factors. How can we stop thinking this way and become more sympathetic to the people around us? This is where it gets tricky because the observer’s internal attributions are an automatic process which means they occur almost immediately and unconsciously (无意识地). In order to become more sympathetic towards surrounding people in situations, we must make the attributions a controlled process. A controlled process is when the observer purposely focuses attention on something and is consciously aware of the process, unlike an automatic process. Knowing what the actor-observer effect is and how it can influence your own attributions is a good step toward becoming more sympathetic and kinder to people you interact with. 12. According to the passage, the actor-observer bias arises because people tend to: A. Assume others’ actions are driven by their inherent traits, but their own by temporary circumstances. B. Focus more on external factors when judging others’ behavior than their own. C. Blame others for intentional rudeness rather than accidental mistakes. D. Overlook situational influences when explaining both others’ and their own actions. 13. The author suggests that the actor-observer bias serves as a “defense mechanism for maintaining high personal dignity.” What is the underlying logic of this mechanism? A. By attributing others’ flaws to their character, we reinforce our belief in our own moral superiority. B. By blaming external factors for our mistakes, we avoid confronting our own limitations. C. By distinguishing between “who we are” and “what we do,” we preserve a positive self-image. D. By minimizing the impact of our actions, we reduce guilt and maintain social approval. 14. The passage states that overcoming the actor-observer bias requires making attributions a “controlled process.” Why is this challenging in practice? A. Controlled processes demand constant awareness and effort, which is cognitively exhausting. B. People are inherently resistant to changing their natural ways of interpreting behavior. C. External factors are often too complex to identify or measure accurately. D. The brain prioritizes speed over accuracy when processing social information. 15. Suppose you witness a stranger shout at a barista. Applying the actor-observer bias, which of the following best reflects how you (the observer) and the stranger (the actor) might interpret the same event? A. Observer: “He’s just a rude person.” Actor: “I’ve had a terrible day and needed to vent.” B. Observer: “He must be in a hurry.” Actor: “That barista was extremely slow.” C. Observer: “The barista probably made a mistake.” Actor: “I’m usually very patient.” D. Observer: “He’s having a bad day.” Actor: “The barista disrespected me first.” 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. A 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过举例和解释，详细阐述了“行动者-观察者偏差”这一心理现象，包括其产生的原因、影响以及如何克服这种偏差。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Why is it that we automatically assume others’ negative actions are a result of who they are as a person while giving ourselves excuses? The actor-observer bias (偏差) is an explanation for this confusing phenomenon.(为什么我们会自动认为别人的负面行为是他们个人本质的结果，而给自己找借口呢？行动者-观察者偏差是对这一令人困惑的现象的解释)”以及第二段“When you explain someone’s behavior based on internal factors, like assuming the person who cuts you off is a rude person, but attributing (把……归因于) your own behavior to external situational factors, you are engaging in the actor-observer bias.(当你基于内部因素来解释某人的行为时，比如认为插队的人是个粗鲁的人，但把自己的行为归因于外部情境因素时，你就陷入了行动者-观察者偏差)”可知，行动者-观察者偏差出现是因为人们倾向于认为别人的行为是由其内在特质驱动的，而自己的行为则是由外部的、暂时的情况所决定的。故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The general explanation is that it occurs as a defense mechanism for maintaining high personal dignity. We would rather believe that our faults come from factors we cannot control because then we cannot change them and it is easier for us to accept the outcome.(一般的解释是，它是一种维持高个人尊严的防御机制。我们宁愿相信我们的错误来自于我们无法控制的因素，因为这样我们就无法改变它们，我们也更容易接受结果)”可知，行动者-观察者偏差作为一种防御机制，其背后的逻辑是通过将自身错误归因于外部不可控因素，避免直接面对个人能力或性格的缺陷，从而维护“我是一个有能力、有道德的人”的自我认知。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“This is where it gets tricky because the observer’s internal attributions are an automatic process which means they occur almost immediately and unconsciously (无意识地).(这就是问题变得棘手的地方，因为观察者的内部归因是一个自动过程，这意味着它们几乎立即和无意识地发生)”和最后一段中“In order to become more sympathetic towards surrounding people in situations, we must make the attributions a controlled process. A controlled process is when the observer purposely focuses attention on something and is consciously aware of the process, unlike an automatic process.(为了对周围的人更加同情，我们必须使归因成为一个可控的过程。可控过程是指观察者有目的地将注意力集中在某件事上，并有意识地意识到这个过程，这与自动过程不同)”可知，克服行动者-观察者偏差需要将自动的无意识归因转变为有意识控制的归因过程，这要求持续的注意力投入和主动思考，而人类大脑的认知资源有限，长期保持这种状态会消耗大量精力，所以在实践中具有挑战性。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“When you explain someone’s behavior based on internal factors, like assuming the person who cuts you off is a rude person, but attributing (把……归因于) your own behavior to external situational factors, you are engaging in the actor-observer bias.(当你基于内部因素来解释某人的行为时，比如认为插队的人是个粗鲁的人，但把自己的行为归因于外部情境因素时，你就陷入了行动者-观察者偏差)”可知，观察者倾向于将陌生人的行为归因于内在特质 (如性格粗鲁)，而行动者则会将自身行为归因于外部情境 (如情绪压力)。A项“Observer: ‘He’s just a rude person.’ Actor: ‘I’ve had a terrible day and needed to vent.’(观察者：“他只是个粗鲁的人。”行动者：“我今天过得很糟糕，需要发泄一下。”)”符合行动者-观察者偏差中“观察者归因于内在特质，行动者归因于外部情境”的核心特征。故选A项。 Taking care of our skin is highly important, and healthy skin is key to protection from harmful elements.

E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了几种护肤的方法。 【16题详解】 上文“There are a lot of skincare advice and it may be confusing to choose which one is good for us. (有很多护肤建议，选择哪一个对我们有好处，可能会令人困惑)”提到有很多护肤建议，选择时可能会让人困惑，下文各部分小标题“Clean your skin properly (正确清洁皮肤)”，“Get enough sleep (保证充足的睡眠)”和“Have a proper diet (保持适当的饮食习惯)”讲具体的护肤技巧，可得出该空引出下文讲一些护肤技巧，G选项“这是一份你可以尝试的护肤技巧清单”切合语境，上文“skincare advice”是关键词。故选G项。 17题详解】 由上文“Clean twice, not once, according to Marie Claire. The first cleaning will simply remove all the surface make-up and dirt. (据Marie Claire说，清洁两次，而不是一次。第一次清洁只需去除所有表面化妆品和污垢)”可知，清洁有两次，第一遍清洁只是去除表面的化妆品和污垢，接下来应该讲更深层次的清洁，C选项“第二次清洁更深”切合语境。故选C项。 【18题详解】 该段选取小标题，需总结下文。由下文“Aside from applying moisturizers (润肤膏), our skin can become moist thanks to enough water intake. Drink six to eight glasses of water a day to ensure your metabolism (新陈代谢) works well, and good metabolism contributes to hydrated, supple and clearer skin. (除了使用润肤膏，我们的皮肤还可以因为摄入足够的水分而变得湿润。每天喝六到八杯水，以确保你的新陈代谢正常，良好的新陈代谢有助于保湿、柔软和清洁皮肤)”可知，本段主要讲皮肤还可以通过足够的水分摄入来保持湿润，A选项“喝足够的水”切合语境。故选A项。 【19题详解】 由小标题“Get enough sleep (保证充足的睡眠)”，上文“Sleep is nature’s most powerful beauty treatment (睡眠是大自然最强大的美容疗法)”和“Hair, face and body products also recover better when we are at rest.

Personally, I have long advocated for commencing musical training at an earlier juncture, as juvenile minds often exhibit a greater plasticity and aptitude for such disciplines; nevertheless, yielding to his unyielding persistence — a trait that bordered on the tenacious—I eventually consented to accept him as a pupil. Despite his earnest endeavors, Jackie struggled mightily with two foundational elements of pianism: the discernment and reproduction of accurate tonal quality, coupled with the internalization of basic rhythmic structures. At the conclusion of each instructional session, he would invariably utter a phrase that had by then become something of a refrain: “My mother will get to hear me play someday.” Yet, as the weeks wore on, his progress remained dishearteningly stagnant, leading me to regard his case as all but hopeless. My acquaintance with his mother was confined to fleeting glimpses — she would invariably wait in that same antiquated car, a silent spectator to his lessons, yet never once venturing inside the studio. Then, without warning, Jackie’s attendance at the lessons ceased abruptly. I entertained the notion of reaching out to him, but given his perceived lack of aptitude and the meager results we had achieved, I assumed — perhaps rather hastily — that he had elected to discontinue his studies. In truth, I cannot deny that a certain measure of relief accompanied this development; his presence was scarcely conducive to enhancing my reputation as an instructor. Several weeks elapsed before a communication arrived in the form of a letter, mailed to the residences of all current students, announcing the forthcoming recital. To my considerable surprise, Jackie himself was the one to retrieve this missive, and he promptly inquired whether he might be afforded the opportunity to perform at the event. I explained to him, with what I believed to be clarity, that the recital was intended solely for active participants — students who had maintained regular attendance and consistent practice — and not for those who had withdrawn. He countered by revealing that his mother had fallen seriously ill, rendering her unable to transport him to his lessons, yet despite this setback, he had persisted in his practice regimen with unwavering dedication. For reasons that remain somewhat obscure to me even now, I found myself acquiescing to his request. The evening of the concert finally arrived, and the high school gymnasium was thronged with the assembled parents, relatives, and well-wishers of the participating musicians. In my capacity as the organizer, I made a deliberate choice to schedule Jackie’s performance for the very end of the program. My reasoning was pragmatic: any potential disruption or subpar execution on his part would, I believed, be mitigated by its placement at the conclusion, thereby minimizing any adverse impact upon the overall success of the event. The recital proceeded with remarkable smoothness; each performer prior to Jackie delivered a rendering that was, by and large, competent and satisfying. Then, finally, the moment arrived for Jackie to take the stage. His attire was creased and unkempt, and his hair bore the unmistakable signs of having been hastily tousled, lacking any semblance of order. “Might his mother not have taken a moment to at least ensure that he combed his hair for this particular occasion?” I found myself reflecting, a tinge of disapproval coloring my thoughts. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；  2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Unexpectedly, Jackie chose Mozart’s Concerto 21 in C Major. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I held Jackie firmly in great joy, asking “How did you do it?” _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Unexpectedly, Jackie chose Mozart’s Concerto 21 in C Major. It was a piece known for its technical demands and emotional depth, far beyond what one would expect from a student of his level. As he began to play, I was immediately struck by the transformation. His fingers danced across the keys with precision and grace, producing a tonal quality that was both rich and nuanced. The rhythmic structures, once a struggle for him, now flowed effortlessly, carrying the audience along on a wave of musical beauty. It was as if all the hours of practice and dedication had culminated in this single, breathtaking performance. I held Jackie firmly in great joy, asking “How did you do it?” He looked up at me with a smile, his eyes shining with a mixture of pride and relief. “I practiced every day, even when it was hard,” he said simply. “And I did it for my mother. I wanted her to hear me play, even if she couldn’t come to the lessons.” His words touched me deeply, and I realized that Jackie had not only mastered the piano but had also discovered the true power of music — to connect hearts and bring joy even in the most challenging of times. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了杰基在母亲的坚持下开始学习钢琴，但他在音调和节奏方面进展缓慢，后来因母亲生病中断学习，却仍坚持练习，最终在音乐会上表现出色。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“出乎意料的是，杰基选择了莫扎特的C大调第21协奏曲。”可知，第一段可描写杰基演奏时的精彩表现，以及他的演奏对观众的影响。 ②由第二段首句内容“我高兴地紧紧抱住杰基，问他：‘你是怎么做到的？’”可知，第二段可描写杰基解释自己取得进步的原因，以及作者对杰基的看法发生的变化。 2. 续写线索：杰基演奏莫扎特协奏曲——杰基手指精准优雅——观众沉浸在音乐中——杰基解释进步原因——作者对杰基看法改变 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①闪耀：shine/glitter/glisten ②感动：touch/move/affect ③掌握：master/grasp/command 情绪类 ①令人惊叹的：breathtaking/awe-inspiring/amazing ②喜悦：joy/delight/happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1] It was a piece known for its technical demands and emotional depth, far beyond what one would expect from a student of his level.(运用了过去分词作后置定语和what引导宾语从句) [高分句型2] His fingers danced across the keys with precision and grace, producing a tonal quality that was both rich and nuanced.(运用了现在分词作伴随状语和that引导定语从句) [高分句型3] His words touched me deeply, and I realized that Jackie had not only mastered the piano but had also discovered the true power of music — to connect hearts and bring joy even in the most challenging of times.(运用了that引导宾语从句和not only...but also...连接并列谓语) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025-2026学年高三上学期广东省深圳市建文外国语学校两学部八月月考英语 2025.8 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号等填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 一、阅读理解：本大题共15小题，共37.5分。 A Architecture Summer School Course overview It will be an interesting design experience at the Royal College of Art School of Architecture.

B A pilot program in North County is teaching students about nutrition and where their food comes from. The five-week Farm to School program is a partnership between Escondido Union School District and the Farm to Institution Center. It encourages elementary school children to try vegetables they may not have tried before. “I think that understanding just the roots of where our food comes from and how it gets to our table is meaningful,” said Jeremy Lyche, principal of Bernardo Elementary School. “You saw the kids’ excitement today. They love it.” The students in Paul Erickson’s class have been in the program for over a month. “We’ve been doing multiple lessons where we’re learning about and teaching about local farms in our community, as well as some healthier choices like produce(农产品), just getting students to join in farming.” Erickson said. Once a week for the past five weeks, Alexis Anderson from the Farm to Institution Center has been coming by to teach these kids more about farming and what it takes to get fresh produce to their tables. Wednesday was the students’ last session in the program. She said the main takeaway for the kids is learning where their food comes from. “Eat and support local food because it not only benefits their community economically, but also benefits their health and just education overall of knowing what’s available,” Anderson said. After Wednesday’s lesson, the students went to the school garden for a game of bingo to identify the things they’ve learned. One of the goals of the school garden is for the students to try new things. For Escondido Union School District, the ultimate goal for the school garden is for the produce to end up in the cafeteria for the children to eat. But there are some health regulations the district still needs to overcome before that can happen. 4. What is the purpose of the Farm to School program? A. To promote local farms and their products. B. To provide money for school gardens. C. To get students to know the source of food. D. To motivate children to plant vegetables. 5. What does the underlined word “ takeaway” probably mean in Paragraph 4? A. Focus. B. Gain. C. Challenge. D. Inspiration. 6. Which is the benefit of eating locally according to Anderson? A. It supports the local economy. B. It reduces the food waste. C. It lowers food production cost. D. It improves farming skills. 7. What should the school district do to achieve their goal? A. Expand the garden to produce more food. B. Increase the variety of vegetables grown. C Train more teachers to take part in the program. D. Ensure the produce meets health regulations. C Perhaps no one knows the power of imagination better than Chinese writer Liu Cixin. Until four years ago, Liu worked full-time as a computer engineer at a power plant in Shanxi province. He only wrote science fiction in his spare time. But it was during this time that Liu’s imagination took flight. He did what he might never have the chance to do in real life — wander in space, fight with aliens, and visit planets light-years away. But even with such a powerful imagination, Liu, 55, probably hadn’t expected that he would become the first Asian to win the Hugo Award, science fiction’s highest prize, in 2015. Perhaps neither did he think that former US president Barack Obama would read his novel The Three-Body Problem, nor that on Nov 9 in Washington DC, he would win the 2018 Arthur C. Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society. It’s the first time a Chinese writer has ever won the award. In his acceptance speech, Liu said that he owed his imagination to Arthur C. Clarke (1917—2008), a famous UK sci-fi author. He said that reading Clarke’s 1968 classic novel 2001: A Space Odyssey in the early 1980s had a great effect on him. “My mind opened up like never before. I felt like a narrow river finally seeing the sea,” Liu said. “That night, in my eyes, the starry sky was completely different from the past. For the first time in my life, I was awed (充满敬畏的) by the mystery of the universe.” But no matter how far away Liu’s imagination takes him, somehow his novels always stay rational (理性的). In The Three-Body Problem, for example, Liu tells a tale of aliens invading Earth. But unlike other alien stories, Liu talks more about relationships between civilizations, rules of survival, and the meanings of life. And in The Wandering Earth, Liu looks ahead to the day when our solar system comes to an end and humans have to look for a new place to live. However, all his visions and solutions are based on “hard science”. Liu’s works aren’t simply daydreams. 8. What can be inferred about Liu Cixin’s professional background as a computer engineer and his sci-fi writing? A. His engineering job provided technical knowledge that grounded his sci-fi in “hard science.” B. His work at the power plant directly inspired the plots of The Three-Body Problemand The Wandering Earth. C. He quit his job immediately after winning the Hugo Award to focus full-time on writing. D His engineering skills made him more critical of traditional sci-fi’s lack of scientific rigor. 9. The passage mentions that Liu Cixin “stayed rational” in his novels despite his vast imagination. Which of the following best explains the significance of this balance? A. It distinguishes his works from other sci-fi that prioritize emotional storytelling over logic. B. It allows his speculative ideas (e.g., alien invasions, solar system collapse) to explore deeper themes like civilization survival. C. It reflects his belief that imagination without scientific basis is unworthy of being called “sci-fi.” D. It makes his novels more accessible to readers unfamiliar with complex scientific concepts. 10. Why does the author highlight that Liu Cixin was the “first Asian” to win the Hugo Award and the first Chinese writer to win the Arthur C. Clarke Award? A. To emphasize the global recognition of Chinese sci-fi’s growing influence. B. To criticize Western-dominated literary awards for overlooking Asian authors previously. C. To suggest that Liu’s success was due to his unique cultural perspective as a Chinese writer. D. To imply that these awards are less prestigious than others he might have won. 11. Liu Cixin compared reading 2001: A Space Odysseyto “a narrow river finally seeing the sea.” What does this metaphor reveal about the impact of Clarke’s work on him? A. It expanded his understanding of the universe and ignited his sense of awe toward cosmic mystery. B. It taught him technical writing skills that he later applied to his own novels. C. It made him realize that sci-fi should focus on individual rather than universal themes. D. It convinced him to abandon his engineering career to pursue writing full-time. D Picture this: you are running late to drop your kids off at school in the morning. On top of this, it is pouring rain outside. While you are driving down the highway, another car cuts you off. You begin to think they must be a rude person who is also a terrible driver. A couple of minutes later, you, yourself accidentally cut off someone. You inform yourself your action is a result of the fact that you are late for your child’s drop-off and you cannot see well because of the rain. Why is it that we automatically assume others’ negative actions are a result of who they are as a person while giving ourselves excuses? The actor-observer bias (偏差) is an explanation for this confusing phenomenon. When you explain someone’s behavior based on internal factors, like assuming the person who cuts you off is a rude person, but attributing (把……归因于) your own behavior to external situational factors, you are engaging in the actor-observer bias. So why does the actor-observer effect occur? The general explanation is that it occurs as a defense mechanism for maintaining high personal dignity We would rather believe that our faults come from factors we cannot control because then we cannot change them and it is easier for us to accept the outcome. The actor-observer bias is the cause of many arguments between the actor and the observer as a result of a misunderstanding of the effect of external and internal factors. How can we stop thinking this way and become more sympathetic to the people around us? This is where it gets tricky because the observer’s internal attributions are an automatic process which means they occur almost immediately and unconsciously (无意识地). In order to become more sympathetic towards surrounding people in situations, we must make the attributions a controlled process. A controlled process is when the observer purposely focuses attention on something and is consciously aware of the process, unlike an automatic process. Knowing what the actor-observer effect is and how it can influence your own attributions is a good step toward becoming more sympathetic and kinder to people you interact with. 12. According to the passage, the actor-observer bias arises because people tend to: A. Assume others’ actions are driven by their inherent traits, but their own by temporary circumstances. B. Focus more on external factors when judging others’ behavior than their own. C. Blame others for intentional rudeness rather than accidental mistakes. D. Overlook situational influences when explaining both others’ and their own actions. 13. The author suggests that the actor-observer bias serves as a “defense mechanism for maintaining high personal dignity.” What is the underlying logic of this mechanism? A. By attributing others’ flaws to their character, we reinforce our belief in our own moral superiority. B. By blaming external factors for our mistakes, we avoid confronting our own limitations. C. By distinguishing between “who we are” and “what we do,” we preserve a positive self-image. D. By minimizing the impact of our actions, we reduce guilt and maintain social approval. 14. The passage states that overcoming the actor-observer bias requires making attributions a “controlled process.” Why is this challenging in practice? A. Controlled processes demand constant awareness and effort, which is cognitively exhausting. B. People are inherently resistant to changing their natural ways of interpreting behavior. C. External factors are often too complex to identify or measure accurately. D. The brain prioritizes speed over accuracy when processing social information. 15. Suppose you witness a stranger shout at a barista. Applying the actor-observer bias, which of the following best reflects how you (the observer) and the stranger (the actor) might interpret the same event? A. Observer: “He’s just a rude person.” Actor: “I’ve had a terrible day and needed to vent.” B. Observer: “He must be in a hurry.” Actor: “That barista was extremely slow.” C. Observer: “The barista probably made a mistake.” Actor: “I’m usually very patient.” D. Observer: “He’s having a bad day.” Actor: “The barista disrespected me first.” Taking care of our skin is highly important, and healthy skin is key to protection from harmful elements. There are a lot of skincare advice and it may be confusing to choose which one is good for us. ____16____. Clean your skin properly Clean twice, not once, according to Marie Claire. The first cleaning will simply remove all the surface make-up and dirt. ___17___.

Personally, I have long advocated for commencing musical training at an earlier juncture, as juvenile minds often exhibit a greater plasticity and aptitude for such disciplines; nevertheless, yielding to his unyielding persistence — a trait that bordered on the tenacious—I eventually consented to accept him as a pupil. Despite his earnest endeavors, Jackie struggled mightily with two foundational elements of pianism: the discernment and reproduction of accurate tonal quality, coupled with the internalization of basic rhythmic structures. At the conclusion of each instructional session, he would invariably utter a phrase that had by then become something of a refrain: “My mother will get to hear me play someday.” Yet, as the weeks wore on, his progress remained dishearteningly stagnant, leading me to regard his case as all but hopeless. My acquaintance with his mother was confined to fleeting glimpses — she would invariably wait in that same antiquated car, a silent spectator to his lessons, yet never once venturing inside the studio. Then, without warning, Jackie’s attendance at the lessons ceased abruptly. I entertained the notion of reaching out to him, but given his perceived lack of aptitude and the meager results we had achieved, I assumed — perhaps rather hastily — that he had elected to discontinue his studies. In truth, I cannot deny that a certain measure of relief accompanied this development; his presence was scarcely conducive to enhancing my reputation as an instructor. Several weeks elapsed before a communication arrived in the form of a letter, mailed to the residences of all current students, announcing the forthcoming recital. To my considerable surprise, Jackie himself was the one to retrieve this missive, and he promptly inquired whether he might be afforded the opportunity to perform at the event. I explained to him, with what I believed to be clarity, that the recital was intended solely for active participants — students who had maintained regular attendance and consistent practice — and not for those who had withdrawn. He countered by revealing that his mother had fallen seriously ill, rendering her unable to transport him to his lessons, yet despite this setback, he had persisted in his practice regimen with unwavering dedication. For reasons that remain somewhat obscure to me even now, I found myself acquiescing to his request. The evening of the concert finally arrived, and the high school gymnasium was thronged with the assembled parents, relatives, and well-wishers of the participating musicians. In my capacity as the organizer, I made a deliberate choice to schedule Jackie’s performance for the very end of the program. My reasoning was pragmatic: any potential disruption or subpar execution on his part would, I believed, be mitigated by its placement at the conclusion, thereby minimizing any adverse impact upon the overall success of the event. The recital proceeded with remarkable smoothness; each performer prior to Jackie delivered a rendering that was, by and large, competent and satisfying. Then, finally, the moment arrived for Jackie to take the stage. His attire was creased and unkempt, and his hair bore the unmistakable signs of having been hastily tousled, lacking any semblance of order. “Might his mother not have taken a moment to at least ensure that he combed his hair for this particular occasion?” I found myself reflecting, a tinge of disapproval coloring my thoughts. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；  2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Unexpectedly, Jackie chose Mozart’s Concerto 21 in C Major. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I held Jackie firmly in great joy, asking “How did you do it?” _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
