It grows food, supports farm-based education and offers opportunities for people to help build a stronger local food community. The farm is very active during the growing season, with farmers, youth, volunteers and employees on site. However, it is not open to the public without a prearranged tour or scheduled event. Open Volunteer Saturdays The farm invites volunteers to join its monthly Open Volunteer Saturdays, held on the third Saturday of the month from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. No farming experience is necessary. Volunteers may come for a one-time project or return for more regular work. Tasks vary with the season and may include planting, harvesting, mulching, infrastructure projects or other farm improvements. Registration is appreciated but not required, and drop-ins are welcome. Group Volunteer Opportunities Planning for a team? The farm arranges customized group volunteer days for schools, organizations and community groups. Groups may range from 5 to 150 participants. These group days are usually held on weekdays and last three to four hours. They are meant to build teamwork while making a practical contribution to the farm. To request one, share your preferred dates, estimated group size and any additional details through the online form. The Volunteer Manager will follow up with the next steps. Farm Tours Visitors who want to learn about the farm without joining volunteer work may request a tour. The farm welcomes individuals, university classes and large organizations. After a tour request form is submitted, a staff member will contact you within three to five business days. Regular public tours are also held during monthly volunteer events, usually from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Special group tours can be arranged by contacting the farm in advance. 1. What is needed to take part in an Open Volunteer Saturday? A. Previous farming experience. B. Online registration in advance. C. Regular monthly participation. D. Attendance on the specified date. 2. What is special about group volunteer days? A. They accept groups of any size. B. They are limited to school groups. C. They are tailored to different teams. D. They are approved upon submission. 3. What can be inferred about visiting the farm? A. Visitors can tour the farm within five days. B. The farm favors local educational institutions. C. Public tours involve visitors in volunteer work. D. Non-volunteers may visit by prior arrangement. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了匹兹堡的非营利农场Hilltop Urban Farm，介绍了开放志愿者周六活动、团体志愿者机会以及农场参观的相关信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Open Volunteer Saturdays部分“The farm invites volunteers to join its monthly Open Volunteer Saturdays, held on the third Saturday of the month from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. (该农场邀请志愿者参加每月一次的“开放志愿者周六”，活动时间为每月第三个周六上午9:00至12:00。)”可知，参加Open Volunteer Saturday需要在指定日期到场。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Group Volunteer Opportunities部分“The farm arranges customized group volunteer days for schools, organizations and community groups. (农场为学校、组织和社区团体安排定制化的团体志愿者日)”可知，团体志愿者日的特别之处在于它们是为不同团队量身定制的。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“However, it is not open to the public without a prearranged tour or scheduled event (然而，没有预先安排的参观或者预定活动，不对公众开放)”以及Farm Tours部分“Visitors who want to learn about the farm without joining volunteer work may request a tour. (希望了解农场但不想参加志愿活动的游客可以申请参观。)”可知，非志愿者可以通过事先安排来参观农场。 B “You’re holding the guitar wrong.” That was the first thing Fabián Carrera said in my first classical guitar lesson. I had not yet played a note. He lifted the neck of his own guitar, set my left foot on a small stool, and straightened my wrist. The adjustments looked slight, but suddenly the instrument rested against me instead of fighting me. Carrera began with “Happy Birthday.” I could copy the tune, so I relaxed. Then he played it again, letting his thumb carry one line while the fingers added another. Next came single notes, then chords that seemed to hide the melody (旋律) inside them. Within minutes the song I thought I knew had become a room with several doors, and I was lost at the entrance. I had come partly because I was tired of quick answers. As an English teacher, I had found the ease of AI had devalued language and the difficult work, perseverance, and focus needed to make meaning out of words. My students could produce answers faster than ever, yet I wondered whether they still knew what it felt like to stay with something difficult until it began to speak back. The guitar, with its hollow wooden body and unforgiving strings, offered no shortcut. When I later asked to learn “Asturias,” a Spanish piece I loved, Carrera laughed softly. Learning music, he said, was like preparing Thanksgiving dinner. Some dishes could be finished early and kept warm; others needed hours in the oven. “‘Asturias’ is the turkey,” he said. “We can begin now, but we won’t eat it today.” So I practiced. Carrera asked me to keep a log (日志), not because minutes mattered by themselves, but because attention needed evidence. Slowly, a clean note led to a phrase; a phrase began to carry feeling. “You’re building a castle,” Carrera told me. “Every hour you practice is another brick.” Back in my classroom, I stopped praising speed so easily. I asked students to reread, to cross out, to begin again. The guitar had taught me that learning is not the quick arrival at an answer. It is the slow shaping of a person who can hear more than before. 4. Why did the familiar tune leave the author “lost at the entrance”? A. The tune was played too fast. B. His new position bothered him. C. The song proved more complex. D. Several songs were mixed together. 5. What led the author to guitar lessons? A. A move into guitar teaching. B. The pull of effortful learning. C. A break from classroom work. D. The appeal of AI-made music. 6. Which description best fits “Asturias” in Carrera’s eyes? A. Simple and familiar. B. Discouraging but melodious. C. Festive and straightforward. D. Time-consuming but worthwhile. 7. How did the guitar lessons change the author’s classroom? A. He treated answers as the goal. B. He replaced reading with music. C. He valued process over product. D. He kept practicing logs for students. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者跟随吉他老师学习古典吉他的经历，通过对比AI带来的快捷答案，领悟到真正的学习需要耐心、专注与反复打磨的过程。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Carrera began with “Happy Birthday.” I could copy the tune, so I relaxed. Then he played it again, letting his thumb carry one line while the fingers added another. Next came single notes, then chords that seemed to hide the melody (旋律) inside them. Within minutes the song I thought I knew had become a room with several doors, and I was lost at the entrance.(卡雷拉以一曲《生日快乐》开场。我能够模仿这个曲调，于是放松了下来。接着他又弹奏一遍，大拇指弹奏一段旋律，其余手指同时叠加另一段。随后是单音，再之后是和弦，旋律仿佛就蕴藏在这些和弦之中。几分钟内，这首我以为自己熟悉的曲子变成了一个有多扇门的房间，而我在入口处迷失了方向)”可知。老师演奏时加入拇指与手指的不同声部、单音和弦隐藏旋律等内容可知，这首熟悉的曲子实际上比作者想象的要复杂得多，因此让他感到迷失。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“I had come partly because I was tired of quick answers. As an English teacher, I had found the ease of AI had devalued language and the difficult work, perseverance, and focus needed to make meaning out of words.(我来学琴部分原因是我厌倦了快捷的答案。作为一名英语老师，我发现人工智能的便捷贬低了语言以及从文字中创造意义所需的艰辛努力、毅力和专注)”可知，作者被需要付出努力的学习所吸引，从而开始吉他课。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Learning music, he said, was like preparing Thanksgiving dinner. Some dishes could be finished early and kept warm; others needed hours in the oven. “‘Asturias’ is the turkey,” he said. “We can begin now, but we won’t eat it today.”(他说，学习音乐就像准备感恩节晚餐。有些菜可以提前做好保温，还有些菜需要在烤箱里烤好几个小时“‘阿斯图里亚斯’就是火鸡，”他说。“我们现在可以开始了，但我们今天不会吃。”)”可知，在Carrera看来，这首曲子需要长时间的练习和等待，虽然耗时但值得投入，就像火鸡一样需要时间烹饪才能享用。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Back in my classroom, I stopped praising speed so easily. I asked students to reread, to cross out, to begin again. The guitar had taught me that learning is not the quick arrival at an answer. It is the slow shaping of a person who can hear more than before.(回到教室，我不再轻易赞美速度。我让学生重新阅读、划掉、重新开始。吉他教会我，学习不是快速得到一个答案，而是缓慢塑造一个能比以前听到更多东西的人)”可知，吉他课让作者不再看重速度和结果，而是更重视学习的过程。 C When biologist Keng-Lou James Hung visited a coastal habitat in San Diego, he expected to find a diverse bee community. The area looked healthy and nearly untouched. Yet almost every bee he saw was a western honey bee. This surprised him because the western honey bee is not native to California. Hung and his team counted bees visiting flowers and tracked how quickly pollen (花粉) disappeared. Their study, published in Insect Conservation and Diversity, found that wild western honey bees accounted for about 98% of the total bee biomass (生物量) in the area. By the end of a flower’s first day, roughly 80% of the available pollen had been removed. Why were wild western honey bees so successful? These honey bees live in colonies with thousands of workers and can tell one another where food is. Most native bees, by contrast, live and search for food alone. “It’s like a local grocery store trying to compete against Walmart,” Hung said. Pollen is essential food for young bees. If one species reaches flowers early and takes most of it, some native females may struggle to raise their young. Still, Hung is not calling for an end to beekeeping. Managed western honey bees are important to agriculture, especially when huge numbers are needed to pollinate crops such as California almonds. The problem depends on place. In Europe, western honey bees are native. In California’s natural areas, however, large wild populations may compete with more than 700 native bee species for limited food. Once wild colonies spread, controlling them is difficult. “Context is king,” Hung said. Putting more hives (蜂巢) on farms may support food production. Adding them to protected habitats could have a different result. For people hoping to help bees, simply counting bees is not enough. They also need to ask which species are present, how many of each there are, and whether flowers can feed them all. 8. What surprised Hung about the area? A. A rich diversity of bees. B. Undisturbed bee habitat. C. Sudden pollen disappearance. D. Western honey bee dominance. 9. What makes western honey bees similar to Walmart? A. Their effective team cooperation. B. Their strong internal competition. C. Their exceptional individual ability. D. Their reliance on government support. 10. Which saying best reflects Hung’s view in the last paragraph? A. Only the strong survive. B. One size does not fit all. C. Nature always finds a way. D. Many hands make light work. 11. Which is the best title for the text? A. Honey Bees: Helpers on the Farm, Rivals in the Wild B. Honey Bees: Essential Partners in California Farming C. Bee Conservation: Adding Hives to Protected Habitats D. Bee Conservation: The More Bees, the Better for Nature 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了生物学家Hung的研究发现，非加州本土的西方蜜蜂在当地自然栖息地占据绝对优势，会和本土蜜蜂竞争食物，同时也阐明了西方蜜蜂在农业生产中具备重要作用，是否引入西方蜜蜂需要结合具体场景判断。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Yet almost every bee he saw was a western honey bee. This surprised him because the western honey bee is not native to California.(然而，他看到的几乎每一只蜜蜂都是西方蜜蜂。这让他感到惊讶，因为西方蜜蜂并非加州本土物种)”可知，让Hung惊讶的是该区域西方蜜蜂占主导地位。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“These honey bees live in colonies with thousands of workers and can tell one another where food is. Most native bees, by contrast, live and search for food alone. “It’s like a local grocery store trying to compete against Walmart,” Hung said.(这些蜜蜂生活在有数千只工蜂的蜂群中，并且能互相告知食物的位置。相比之下，大多数本土蜜蜂独自生活和寻找食物。Hung说：“这就像一家本地杂货店试图与沃尔玛竞争。”)”可推知，西方蜜蜂像沃尔玛是因为它们有效的团队合作。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Context is king,” Hung said. Putting more hives (蜂巢) on farms may support food production. Adding them to protected habitats could have a different result. For people hoping to help bees, simply counting bees is not enough. They also need to ask which species are present, how many of each there are, and whether flowers can feed them all.(“环境决定一切，”Hung说。在农场放置更多蜂巢可能支持粮食生产。将它们添加到保护栖息地可能产生不同的结果。对于希望帮助蜜蜂的人来说，仅仅计算蜜蜂数量是不够的。他们还需要询问存在哪些物种，每种有多少，以及花朵是否能喂饱所有物种)”可知，Hung认为不同情境下（农场vs自然保护区）蜜蜂的作用和影响不同，不能一概而论，故“One size does not fit all.(不能用一个标准解决所有问题/不能一概而论)”最能体现他的观点。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第四段中“Managed western honey bees are important to agriculture, especially when huge numbers are needed to pollinate crops such as California almonds. The problem depends on place. In Europe, western honey bees are native. In California’s natural areas, however, large wild populations may compete with more than 700 native bee species for limited food.(人工饲养的西方蜜蜂对农业很重要，尤其是当需要大量蜜蜂为加州杏仁等作物授粉时。这个问题取决于地点。在欧洲，西方蜜蜂是本土物种。然而，在加州的自然区域，大量的野生种群可能与700多种本土蜜蜂争夺有限的食物)”以及最后一段的“For people hoping to help bees, simply counting bees is not enough. They also need to ask which species are present, how many of each there are, and whether flowers can feed them all.(对于希望帮助蜜蜂的人来说，仅仅计算蜜蜂数量是不够的。他们还需要询问存在哪些物种，每种有多少，以及花朵是否能喂饱所有物种)”可知，文章主要介绍了西方蜜蜂在农场中是有益的帮手，但在野外可能与本土蜜蜂竞争，成为竞争对手。故最佳标题是“Honey Bees: Helpers on the Farm, Rivals in the Wild(蜜蜂：农场里的帮手，野外的竞争对手)”。 D We can all think of certain voices that stick in our minds long after we hear them — perhaps a familiar voice, or that of a stranger from a brief conversation. We often explain this through familiarity or personal experience. But a study published in Nature Human Behaviour challenged that assumption by asking whether some voices possess intrinsic memorability. Researchers at the University of Chicago tested this in three experiments with over 3,000 participants. In the first two, separate groups of listeners heard recordings of different speakers. Each experiment used a different fixed sentence, read by every speaker. Some recordings were repeated later, and listeners pressed a key when they recognized a repeat. Holding the words constant allowed the team to focus on differences in memory linked to the voices themselves. A clear pattern emerged: certain recordings were consistently easier to remember across listeners. The same speakers also tended to be similarly memorable in both experiments. This suggested that memorability might belong to the speaker, and the third experiment tested the idea more directly. There, a mix of both sentences was used, requiring listeners to recognize the same speaker across different sentences. Again, certain speakers were easier to identify, strengthening the evidence for speaker-level memorability. The team next asked whether this memorability could be predicted. Software measured acoustic (声学的) features, including pitch (音高) and speaking speed. The researchers also considered accent and listener judgments of personality. Models built from these measures predicted which voices were more memorable. More importantly, a model trained on one sentence could still predict memorability when the same speakers said the other. The successful predictors were low-level acoustic features, though no single feature explained the effect. Taken together, the findings suggest that voice memorability is not entirely personal. Some voices seem consistently easier to remember, and part of that difference can be predicted from sound itself. Understanding why could help teachers and language-learning tools choose voices that stay in memory. 12. What does the underlined word “intrinsic” in paragraph 1 most probably mean? A. Artificial B. Acquired C. Built-in D. Short-term 13. Why was a fixed sentence used in each of the first two experiments? A. To reduce the effect of words. B. To test memory for the messages. C. To make repeats easier to notice. D. To make speakers equally memorable. 14. What did the third experiment help confirm? A. Voice memorability is linked to the speaker. B. Voice recognition relies on particular recordings. C. Repeated recordings strengthen listeners’ memory. D. Sentence changes make voices easier to recognize. 15. What might be an application of the finding? A. Ranking voices using personality tests. B. Selecting voices through sound features. C. Choosing voices with one particular pitch. D. Changing speakers’ gestures to improve memory. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述研究发现部分声音自带固有记忆度，可通过声学特征预测该特性。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“We often explain this through familiarity or personal experience. But a study published in Nature Human Behaviour challenged that assumption by asking whether some voices possess intrinsic memorability. (我们通常用熟悉感或个人经历来解释这一点。但一项发表在《自然·人类行为》上的研究对此假设提出了挑战，它探究了某些声音是否具有intrinsic可记忆性)”可知，人们通常认为对声音的记忆来自熟悉度或个人经历，但这项研究质疑该观点，探究一些声音是否具备本身固有的记忆属性。intrinsic意为“固有的，内在的”，与C项“Built-in”同义。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Holding the words constant allowed the team to focus on differences in memory linked to the voices themselves. (保持文字不变，研究团队就可以聚焦于与声音本身相关的记忆差异)”可知，前两个实验使用固定句子，保持文字内容不变，目的是减少文字本身带来的影响，把研究重点放在声音本身带来的记忆差异上。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“This suggested that memorability might belong to the speaker, and the third experiment tested the idea more directly. There, a mix of both sentences was used, requiring listeners to recognize the same speaker across different sentences. Again, certain speakers were easier to identify, strengthening the evidence for speaker-level memorability. (这表明可记忆性或许属于说话者本身，而第三项实验则更直接地验证了这一观点。在该实验中，研究者混合使用了两种句子，要求听者在不同句子中识别出相同的说话人。结果再次显示，某些说话人更容易被识别出来，从而进一步强化了‘说话人层面的可记忆性’这一证据)”可知，第三个实验确认了声音的记忆属性与说话者本身相关。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“The successful predictors were low-level acoustic features, though no single feature explained the effect. (成功的预测指标是低层次的声学特征，尽管没有任何单一特征能完全解释这种效果)”以及最后一段“Understanding why could help teachers and language-learning tools choose voices that stay in memory. (理解其中的原因，可以帮助教师和语言学习工具选择那些能让人记住的声音)”可知，该研究成果的应用方向是通过声音特征挑选更容易让人记住的声音。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How the Sunk Cost Fallacy (谬论) Can Drive Bad Decisions Imagine driving to a park, only to find that the weather has turned cold and rainy. You no longer expect to enjoy the hike, yet you set off because so much time has already been spent getting there. ____16____ Researchers call this the “sunk cost fallacy” — our tendency to hold on to past investments even when giving them up would be the better move. Why are people so reluctant to stop? The bias relates to our fear of loss. We dislike the thought of waste. ____17____ Humans also want to appear consistent, and changing course may seem like admitting a mistake. Psychologist Veronika Tait studied this tendency in more than 100 people. They considered situations such as investing time and effort in one sport, then realizing they preferred another. ____18____ Past costs cannot be recovered, but future losses can still be avoided. ____19____ A therapist, for example, might ask clients to name what they lose by remaining stuck — sleep, money, or peace of mind. You can then ask yourself: “Would I still make this choice if I had never made that investment?” Perseverance is often seen as strength and changing one’s mind as weakness. Yet updating our beliefs requires intellectual humility (谦逊). ____20____ Focus on what will be best moving forward. A. Letting go begins with an open mind. B. So consider what continuing may cost. C. Quitting can make earlier efforts feel wasted. D. That is why consistency usually leads to better decisions. E. This decision is driven by past investment, not future benefit. F. With enough patience, a failed investment may still be recovered. G. Participants who sacrificed more tended to stay with their original choice. 【答案】16. E 17. C 18. G 19. B 20. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了沉没成本谬论的内涵、人们难以止损的原因，并介绍了摆脱该思维误区的方法，告诫人们立足未来、理性做出决策。 【16题详解】 上文“You no longer expect to enjoy the hike, yet you set off because so much time has already been spent getting there.(你不再期待这次徒步，但因为已经花了很多时间赶到那里，你还是出发了)”列举了生活中的沉没成本事例，E选项“This decision is driven by past investment, not future benefit.(这个决定是由过往投入而非未来收益驱使的)”总结上文事例的本质，衔接下文对“沉没成本谬论”的定义。 【17题详解】 上文“The bias relates to our fear of loss. We dislike the thought of waste.(这种偏见与我们的损失恐惧有关，我们厌恶浪费的感觉)”点明人们不愿止损的一大原因，C选项“Quitting can make earlier efforts feel wasted.(放弃会让人觉得之前的努力付诸东流)”具体解释了人们害怕浪费、不愿停止的心理，与后文“Humans also want to appear consistent, and changing course may seem like admitting a mistake.(人们也希望保持行事一致，改变方向似乎是承认错误)”形成并列的两大原因，衔接紧密。 【18题详解】 上文“Psychologist Veronika Tait studied this tendency in more than 100 people. They considered situations such as investing time and effort in one sport, then realizing they preferred another.(心理学家维罗妮卡·泰特对100多人的这种倾向展开研究，让受试者考量投入时间精力从事一项运动后却发现自己更喜欢另一项运动的场景)”介绍相关心理学实验背景，G选项“Participants who sacrificed more tended to stay with their original choice.(付出更多的参与者往往会坚持最初的选择)”承接上文，给出本次实验的研究结果，印证了沉没成本谬论对人决策的影响。 【19题详解】 上文“Past costs cannot be recovered, but future losses can still be avoided.(过往的成本无法挽回，但未来的损失仍可以避免)”提出可以避免未来的损失，B选项“So consider what continuing may cost.(所以要考虑继续坚持可能付出的代价)”承接上文观点，顺势提出应对沉没成本误区的可行方法。 【20题详解】 上文“Yet updating our beliefs requires intellectual humility.(然而，更新认知需要理智的谦逊)”指出跳出固有思维的核心要求，A选项“Letting go begins with an open mind.(学会放手始于开放的心态)”承接上文的理智谦逊，点明摆脱沉没成本执念的关键，与下文“Focus on what will be best moving forward.(着眼于未来的最优选择)”呼应。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 81-year-old Kathryn Mount has long been an adventurous person, determined to keep her brave spirit ____21____ in old age.

Strong rain had caused the river to fill up, its current becoming fast and powerful. He forgot to bring the parts to keep his 10-foot kayak (皮艇) balanced, but thought it would be fine. Tall and heavy, Cal eased into the boat, started the motor, and headed across. Midway, rough waves overturned the kayak. One moment he was upright; the next, he was in the icy water, struggling to breathe. His life belt rode up around his throat, choking him. Heavy boots dragged him down. The fast current swept him farther from the boat, and there was no way to reach the bank. Just then, he spotted a thick branch hanging low over the water from a partially underwater tree. Reaching out with all his might, he grabbed it. The tree was firmly rooted — solid and steady, holding him against the current. Numb (麻木的) fingers found the whistle (口哨) on his fishing coat. He blew it with his last strength, praying someone would hear. The icy water was numbing his fingers, and his legs had given out. All he could think of was his wife Maria and their daughter Della. That morning, Johnny, a former soldier and lifeguard, had driven to the river with his four kids. He often kept a thick rope in his car trunk for outdoor activities. He parked on the bank nearby. As he stepped out, sharp whistles cut through the air. Running toward the sound, he shouted, “Hello? Are you okay?” A weak, trembling voice came back: “Not...good.” A warning bell went off in his mind — someone was in trouble. He sprinted (冲刺) to his car, grabbed the thick rope, and ran toward the voice. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Following the voice, Johnny saw Cal holding tight to the branch, face pale. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Once within reach, Johnny rushed forward, grabbed his collar, and dragged him ashore. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Following the voice, Johnny saw Cal holding tight to a branch, face pale. His eyes swept the scene — the tree, the rope, the current. His mind raced, forming a plan. He tied one end to the trunk, swung the rope over the low branch, and dropped it exactly beside Cal’s shoulder. “Pull it under your arms!” he yelled. Cal fumbled for the rope, caught it, and secured it under his arms. Johnny planted his feet against a rock, leaned back with his full weight, and pulled. The rope bit into his palms, but he kept pulling, feeling the current yield inch by inch. Once within reach, Johnny rushed forward, grabbed his collar, and dragged him ashore. He wrapped his coat around Cal. His eldest daughter ran up with a towel. Cal coughed, tears mixing with water. “My family...” he murmured weakly. Johnny gripped his arm firmly and said, “Stay awake for them.” Minutes later, the alarm bell echoed. Off the ambulance came medical workers. They gave Cal a quick check. Just as they helped him into the ambulance, he turned to Johnny, voice weak but clear. “I can’t thank you enough. You saved my life.” Johnny gave a soft, firm nod. “Glad you’re okay. Go home to your family. That’s all that matters.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了商店员工Cal在三月末的一个早晨前往Elk River钓鱼，因大雨导致河水暴涨，皮艇中途翻覆，他被急流冲走并被困在一棵半淹没的树旁，生命危在旦夕；前士兵兼救生员Johnny恰好在附近，听到哨声后携带粗绳前去救援的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可以写Johnny已经发现被困的Cal，接下来应描写Johnny观察现场环境后迅速制定救援方案，利用随身携带的粗绳搭建救援通道，指导Cal配合，以及Johnny在湍急水流中用力拉拽的艰难过程。 ② 由第二段首句内容可知，本段可以写Johnny已成功将Cal拉近岸边并拖上岸，接下来应描写上岸后的紧急保暖措施、Cal的身体反应与心理活动、救护车的到来、医护人员的初步检查，以及两人最后的对话和情感升华。 2. 续写线索：发现Cal被困河中→迅速评估环境并制定方案→将绳子一端绑在树上，另一端抛给Cal→Cal将绳子固定在腋下→Johnny用力拉拽，与急流对抗→成功将Cal拉近岸边→拖上岸并保暖急救→Cal虚弱中提及妻子女儿→救护车赶到，医护人员检查→Cal表达感激→Johnny安慰他回家团聚 3. 词汇激活： 行为类： ①.绑紧/固定：tie/fasten/secure ②.裹住/缠绕：wrap/enfold 情绪类： ①.虚弱的：weak/feeble ②.坚定的：firm/determined 【点睛】【高分句型1】The rope bit into his palms, but he kept pulling, feeling the current yield inch by inch.(运用了现在分词作状语) 【高分句型2】Just as they helped him onto the stretcher, he turned to Johnny, voice weak but clear.(运用了as引导的时间状语从句和独立主格结构) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年全市高三年级9月学习质量综合评估 英 语 注意事项： 1．答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 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，监考员将试卷、答题卡一并交回。 4．本试卷考试时间为120分钟，满分为150分。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

It grows food, supports farm-based education and offers opportunities for people to help build a stronger local food community. The farm is very active during the growing season, with farmers, youth, volunteers and employees on site. However, it is not open to the public without a prearranged tour or scheduled event. Open Volunteer Saturdays The farm invites volunteers to join its monthly Open Volunteer Saturdays, held on the third Saturday of the month from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. No farming experience is necessary. Volunteers may come for a one-time project or return for more regular work. Tasks vary with the season and may include planting, harvesting, mulching, infrastructure projects or other farm improvements. Registration is appreciated but not required, and drop-ins are welcome. Group Volunteer Opportunities Planning for a team? The farm arranges customized group volunteer days for schools, organizations and community groups. Groups may range from 5 to 150 participants. These group days are usually held on weekdays and last three to four hours. They are meant to build teamwork while making a practical contribution to the farm. To request one, share your preferred dates, estimated group size and any additional details through the online form. The Volunteer Manager will follow up with the next steps. Farm Tours Visitors who want to learn about the farm without joining volunteer work may request a tour. The farm welcomes individuals, university classes and large organizations. After a tour request form is submitted, a staff member will contact you within three to five business days. Regular public tours are also held during monthly volunteer events, usually from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Special group tours can be arranged by contacting the farm in advance. 1.

What can be inferred about visiting the farm? A. Visitors can tour the farm within five days. B. The farm favors local educational institutions. C. Public tours involve visitors in volunteer work. D. Non-volunteers may visit by prior arrangement. B “You’re holding the guitar wrong.” That was the first thing Fabián Carrera said in my first classical guitar lesson. I had not yet played a note. He lifted the neck of his own guitar, set my left foot on a small stool, and straightened my wrist. The adjustments looked slight, but suddenly the instrument rested against me instead of fighting me. Carrera began with “Happy Birthday.” I could copy the tune, so I relaxed. Then he played it again, letting his thumb carry one line while the fingers added another. Next came single notes, then chords that seemed to hide the melody (旋律) inside them. Within minutes the song I thought I knew had become a room with several doors, and I was lost at the entrance. I had come partly because I was tired of quick answers. As an English teacher, I had found the ease of AI had devalued language and the difficult work, perseverance, and focus needed to make meaning out of words. My students could produce answers faster than ever, yet I wondered whether they still knew what it felt like to stay with something difficult until it began to speak back. The guitar, with its hollow wooden body and unforgiving strings, offered no shortcut. When I later asked to learn “Asturias,” a Spanish piece I loved, Carrera laughed softly. Learning music, he said, was like preparing Thanksgiving dinner. Some dishes could be finished early and kept warm; others needed hours in the oven. “‘Asturias’ is the turkey,” he said. “We can begin now, but we won’t eat it today.” So I practiced. Carrera asked me to keep a log (日志), not because minutes mattered by themselves, but because attention needed evidence. Slowly, a clean note led to a phrase; a phrase began to carry feeling. “You’re building a castle,” Carrera told me. “Every hour you practice is another brick.” Back in my classroom, I stopped praising speed so easily. I asked students to reread, to cross out, to begin again. The guitar had taught me that learning is not the quick arrival at an answer. It is the slow shaping of a person who can hear more than before. 4. Why did the familiar tune leave the author “lost at the entrance”? A. The tune was played too fast. B. His new position bothered him. C. The song proved more complex. D. Several songs were mixed together. 5. What led the author to guitar lessons? A. A move into guitar teaching. B. The pull of effortful learning. C. A break from classroom work. D. The appeal of AI-made music. 6. Which description best fits “Asturias” in Carrera’s eyes? A. Simple and familiar. B. Discouraging but melodious. C. Festive and straightforward. D. Time-consuming but worthwhile. 7. How did the guitar lessons change the author’s classroom? A. He treated answers as the goal. B. He replaced reading with music. C. He valued process over product. D. He kept practicing logs for students. C When biologist Keng-Lou James Hung visited a coastal habitat in San Diego, he expected to find a diverse bee community. The area looked healthy and nearly untouched. Yet almost every bee he saw was a western honey bee. This surprised him because the western honey bee is not native to California. Hung and his team counted bees visiting flowers and tracked how quickly pollen (花粉) disappeared. Their study, published in Insect Conservation and Diversity, found that wild western honey bees accounted for about 98% of the total bee biomass (生物量) in the area. By the end of a flower’s first day, roughly 80% of the available pollen had been removed. Why were wild western honey bees so successful? These honey bees live in colonies with thousands of workers and can tell one another where food is. Most native bees, by contrast, live and search for food alone. “It’s like a local grocery store trying to compete against Walmart,” Hung said. Pollen is essential food for young bees. If one species reaches flowers early and takes most of it, some native females may struggle to raise their young. Still, Hung is not calling for an end to beekeeping. Managed western honey bees are important to agriculture, especially when huge numbers are needed to pollinate crops such as California almonds. The problem depends on place. In Europe, western honey bees are native. In California’s natural areas, however, large wild populations may compete with more than 700 native bee species for limited food. Once wild colonies spread, controlling them is difficult. “Context is king,” Hung said. Putting more hives (蜂巢) on farms may support food production. Adding them to protected habitats could have a different result. For people hoping to help bees, simply counting bees is not enough. They also need to ask which species are present, how many of each there are, and whether flowers can feed them all. 8. What surprised Hung about the area? A. A rich diversity of bees. B. Undisturbed bee habitat. C. Sudden pollen disappearance. D. Western honey bee dominance. 9. What makes western honey bees similar to Walmart? A. Their effective team cooperation. B. Their strong internal competition. C. Their exceptional individual ability. D. Their reliance on government support. 10. Which saying best reflects Hung’s view in the last paragraph? A. Only the strong survive. B. One size does not fit all. C. Nature always finds a way. D. Many hands make light work. 11. Which is the best title for the text? A. Honey Bees: Helpers on the Farm, Rivals in the Wild B. Honey Bees: Essential Partners in California Farming C. Bee Conservation: Adding Hives to Protected Habitats D. Bee Conservation: The More Bees, the Better for Nature D We can all think of certain voices that stick in our minds long after we hear them — perhaps a familiar voice, or that of a stranger from a brief conversation. We often explain this through familiarity or personal experience. But a study published in Nature Human Behaviour challenged that assumption by asking whether some voices possess intrinsic memorability. Researchers at the University of Chicago tested this in three experiments with over 3,000 participants. In the first two, separate groups of listeners heard recordings of different speakers. Each experiment used a different fixed sentence, read by every speaker. Some recordings were repeated later, and listeners pressed a key when they recognized a repeat. Holding the words constant allowed the team to focus on differences in memory linked to the voices themselves. A clear pattern emerged: certain recordings were consistently easier to remember across listeners. The same speakers also tended to be similarly memorable in both experiments. This suggested that memorability might belong to the speaker, and the third experiment tested the idea more directly. There, a mix of both sentences was used, requiring listeners to recognize the same speaker across different sentences. Again, certain speakers were easier to identify, strengthening the evidence for speaker-level memorability. The team next asked whether this memorability could be predicted. Software measured acoustic (声学的) features, including pitch (音高) and speaking speed. The researchers also considered accent and listener judgments of personality. Models built from these measures predicted which voices were more memorable. More importantly, a model trained on one sentence could still predict memorability when the same speakers said the other. The successful predictors were low-level acoustic features, though no single feature explained the effect. Taken together, the findings suggest that voice memorability is not entirely personal. Some voices seem consistently easier to remember, and part of that difference can be predicted from sound itself. Understanding why could help teachers and language-learning tools choose voices that stay in memory. 12. What does the underlined word “intrinsic” in paragraph 1 most probably mean? A. Artificial B. Acquired C. Built-in D. Short-term 13. Why was a fixed sentence used in each of the first two experiments? A. To reduce the effect of words. B. To test memory for the messages. C. To make repeats easier to notice. D. To make speakers equally memorable. 14. What did the third experiment help confirm? A. Voice memorability is linked to the speaker. B. Voice recognition relies on particular recordings. C. Repeated recordings strengthen listeners’ memory. D. Sentence changes make voices easier to recognize. 15. What might be an application of the finding? A. Ranking voices using personality tests. B. Selecting voices through sound features. C. Choosing voices with one particular pitch. D. Changing speakers’ gestures to improve memory. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How the Sunk Cost Fallacy (谬论) Can Drive Bad Decisions Imagine driving to a park, only to find that the weather has turned cold and rainy. You no longer expect to enjoy the hike, yet you set off because so much time has already been spent getting there. ____16____ Researchers call this the “sunk cost fallacy” — our tendency to hold on to past investments even when giving them up would be the better move. Why are people so reluctant to stop? The bias relates to our fear of loss. We dislike the thought of waste. ____17____ Humans also want to appear consistent, and changing course may seem like admitting a mistake. Psychologist Veronika Tait studied this tendency in more than 100 people. They considered situations such as investing time and effort in one sport, then realizing they preferred another. ____18____ Past costs cannot be recovered, but future losses can still be avoided. ____19____ A therapist, for example, might ask clients to name what they lose by remaining stuck — sleep, money, or peace of mind. You can then ask yourself: “Would I still make this choice if I had never made that investment?” Perseverance is often seen as strength and changing one’s mind as weakness. Yet updating our beliefs requires intellectual humility (谦逊). ____20____ Focus on what will be best moving forward. A. Letting go begins with an open mind. B. So consider what continuing may cost. C. Quitting can make earlier efforts feel wasted. D. That is why consistency usually leads to better decisions. E. This decision is driven by past investment, not future benefit. F. With enough patience, a failed investment may still be recovered. G. Participants who sacrificed more tended to stay with their original choice. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 81-year-old Kathryn Mount has long been an adventurous person, determined to keep her brave spirit ____21____ in old age.

Strong rain had caused the river to fill up, its current becoming fast and powerful. He forgot to bring the parts to keep his 10-foot kayak (皮艇) balanced, but thought it would be fine. Tall and heavy, Cal eased into the boat, started the motor, and headed across. Midway, rough waves overturned the kayak. One moment he was upright; the next, he was in the icy water, struggling to breathe. His life belt rode up around his throat, choking him. Heavy boots dragged him down. The fast current swept him farther from the boat, and there was no way to reach the bank. Just then, he spotted a thick branch hanging low over the water from a partially underwater tree. Reaching out with all his might, he grabbed it. The tree was firmly rooted — solid and steady, holding him against the current. Numb (麻木的) fingers found the whistle (口哨) on his fishing coat. He blew it with his last strength, praying someone would hear. The icy water was numbing his fingers, and his legs had given out. All he could think of was his wife Maria and their daughter Della. That morning, Johnny, a former soldier and lifeguard, had driven to the river with his four kids. He often kept a thick rope in his car trunk for outdoor activities. He parked on the bank nearby. As he stepped out, sharp whistles cut through the air. Running toward the sound, he shouted, “Hello? Are you okay?” A weak, trembling voice came back: “Not...good.” A warning bell went off in his mind — someone was in trouble. He sprinted (冲刺) to his car, grabbed the thick rope, and ran toward the voice. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Following the voice, Johnny saw Cal holding tight to the branch, face pale. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Once within reach, Johnny rushed forward, grabbed his collar, and dragged him ashore. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
