"Pull over Why "
"I can't remember if I put my backpack in the trunk (后备箱), and my homework is in it. Can you help me look " I knew I had to get him out of the car.
Grandpa opened the car door and headed out.
At that moment, a police car stopped around the corner. Before I knew it, Grandma and an officer were at our sides. Grandma, whom I had never seen cry, was sobbing (啜泣) as she hugged Grandpa and me.
With all the confusion, Grandpa seemed to 20． about taking me to school. We were all back into the car and Grandma started driving, when suddenly Grandpa turned and gave me a wink (眨眼). That's when I knew the old Grandpa was still there. He just came out when I least expected it.

（2024九上·西城期中）A sky full of courageSam rushed into Mom's study, excited. "Look at this!" He held up a bright blue tail feather. "It's a Western Bluebird! I've been looking for this one for ages!"
Mom smiled, "It's beautiful. Tomorrow, I get to fly a biplane over downtown Portland for the air show. Want to come with me "
Sam felt nervous about flying, especially in an open cockpit (开放式座舱) biplane. "No, thanks, Mom. Sorry," he said, ducking his head and heading upstairs. With each heavy step, he told himself that planes are safe and that he shouldn't be afraid to fly, especially as the son of Portland's best pilot.
Sam pulled out his feather book, eager to organize his collection. He opened his book to "W" and placed the new blue feather under "Western Bluebird." The next page, "V-Vaux's Swift (沃氏雨燕)," was empty. Every fall, groups of Vaux's Swifts fly through Portland on their way south. But they hadn't shown up this year, leaving people worried.
Then his friend Emily arrived and asked him to go to the Wildlife Care Center, where they volunteered. On their way, the air was smoky from wildfires. As they entered the room, Dr. Malone was holding a Vaux's Swift with a broken wing. "It had been found off course at Matthews Valley, most likely confused by the wildfire smoke," Dr. Malone told them. "And the flock (群) of swifts must be lost!" Sam was shocked and knew he had to act.
Suddenly an idea hit Sam. But his plan to find the swifts would work if only he had the courage to fly. That night, he lay in bed, holding the feather, repeating his wish: "I'm brave enough."
The next morning, he nervously told his mom, "I'm flying with you today. But, after the air show, we have to keep going to Matthews Valley." She was surprised but agreed.
After the show, Mom continued flying the red biplane to Matthews Valley, with Sam sitting behind her, holding a birdcage with the injured (受伤的) swift. "Matthews Valley is below us now," Mom shouted. "You have to find those birds soon. We have just enough gas to get back." Sam used binoculars (双筒望远镜) but saw nothing. He suggested they turn off the engine and fly slowly to hear better. Mom agreed, and the plane went silent.
Just then, Sam noticed a cloud of swifts high above. The injured swift called out, and the flock noticed it and quickly flew around the plane. More swifts joined, forming a group around them.
"Fly back home, Mom!" Sam said. "Let's see if they follow us." Mom restarted the engine and headed back to Portland. The swifts followed, and Sam felt excited.
"You did it, Sam!" Mom said, laughing. Sam knew she meant more than just finding the birds. As they flew, Sam forgot his fear and felt like part of the flock. He held out his arms, lifted his head, and led the swifts home.

（2024九上·西城期中）Creative Problem Solving (CPS) is a model for addressing problems and challenges in a creative way. It divides the creative problem solving process into three general areas: Exploring the Challenge, Generating Ideas, and Preparing for Action.
Exploring the Challenge
Exploring the Challenge involves selecting a broad goal, opportunity, or challenge and setting the direction for work.
* Objective Finding
In Objective Finding, students identify a problem or opportunity to address. They learn to look for problems and opportunities that will allow them to take action. For example, some students were asked to do a report on the town's 250th anniversary (周年庆典). It was not a "problem" in the sense that there was any difficulty, but it was an opportunity.
* Fact Finding
In Fact Finding, students learn as much about the situation as possible. For the 250th anniversary group, the curious students read town history, talked to local officials about planned celebrations, and spoke to community members about town activities long ago.
* Problem Finding
In Problem Finding, problem solvers identify sub-problems in their challenge. Students should list as many problem statements as possible before choosing the one that best expresses the problem they choose to address. The anniversary group's problem was something like "In what ways might we celebrate the town's 250th anniversary so that it will be remembered "
Generating Ideas
In this stage (阶段), problem solvers come up with as many varied and unusual ideas as possible for solving the problem. Afterwards, a smaller number of ideas usually are selected to continue the CPS process. The 250th anniversary group suggested numerous ideas for a community celebration: a town festival, a new time capsule (胶囊), and a variety of school projects.
Preparing for Action
* Solution Finding
In Solution Finding, the short list of ideas is evaluated (评估). Students probably find that the point totals may not always identify the best idea. Sometimes an idea may rank (评级) high but be impossible to carry out.
In the actual 250th anniversary group, building a time capsule did not outrank all other ideas, especially those concerning community involvement, but many class members loved that idea more than any other. They realized that for this project, class interest was truly important, so they gave it additional weight.
* Acceptance Finding
The final stage of the CPS process asks problem solvers to create a plan of action. They are to decide what needs to be done and who will be responsible for each task, and plan reasonable time frame.
The 250th anniversary group needed detailed plans to realize their ideas. This stage of the process, in which they thought about the details of cost, timing, and responsibilities for each project, allowed them to plan ahead, thus avoiding many difficulties later on.
27．The 250th anniversary group is mentioned to ________.
A．introduce a universal problem for students
B．share the writer's experience of doing CPS
C．stress the importance of creativity and teamwork
D．explain how CPS works in real-world situations
28．What does the phrase "gave it additional weight" most probably mean
A．Gave it a good run. B．Took it into consideration.
C．Put it on the top list. D．Paid little attention to it.
29．What is the passage mainly about
A．A novel model to deal with problems.
B．A creative way to enlighten learners.
C．A new method to generate varied ideas.
D．A practice to come up with solutions.
【答案】27．D
28．B
29．A
【知识点】科普类；说明文；推理判断；词义猜测；文章大意
【解析】【分析】短文大意：本文主要介绍了创造性解决问题（CPS）模型及其在实际应用中的步骤和方法。【点评】考查科普类阅读。本篇文章涉及推理判断题、词义猜测题和文章大意题三种题型。推理判断题时不能凭主观臆断推测或妄加猜测，必须忠实于原文，以材料所提供的相关事实和线索为依据，使做出的推理合乎文意。词义猜测题的解题方法包括利用指代关系、定义、定语、文章中的举例、比较的词语、构词法知识、上下文语境、因果关系来推测词义。文章大意题是在阅读和理解全文的基础上对文章进行归纳，概括和总结。不能只凭文中的只言片语而断章取义，需要在细读全文的基础上进行逻辑思维推理判断，从而获取文章中内含的信息。
27．推理判断题。根据In Objective Finding, students identify a problem or opportunity to address. "和"For example, some students were asked to do a report on the town's 250th anniversary (周年庆典). It was not a ‘problem' in the sense that there was any difficulty, but it was an opportunity.（在目标发现中，学生识别一个问题或机会来解决。他们学会寻找问题和机会，让他们采取行动。例如，一些学生被要求做一份关于建城250周年的报告。从有任何困难的意义上说，这不是一个"问题"，而是一个机会。）可知，在目标发现中，识别"做小镇250周年庆典的报告"是一个机会，而不是一个问题； 又根据The anniversary group's problem was something like "In what ways might we celebrate the town's 250th anniversary so that it will be remembered " （周年纪念小组的问题类似于"我们应该用什么方式来庆祝这个小镇的250周年纪念，这样它才会被人们记住？"）可知，解决问题中，明白这个问题类似于"我们应该用什么方式来庆祝这个小镇的250周年纪念，这样它才会被人们记住？"；综上本文通过250周年纪念小组是为了解释这个例子来说明CPS模型如何在现实生活中的应用运作的。故答案为D。
28．词义猜测题。根据They realized that for this project, class interest was truly important, so theygave it additional weight.（他们意识到，对于这个项目来说，课堂兴趣是非常重要的，所以他们___________）可知，他们意识到班级兴趣对这个项目非常重要，因此给予了更多的重视或优先考虑。所以gave it additional weight"表示"更多的重视"。 故答案为B。
29．文章大意题。根据Creative Problem Solving (CPS) is a model for addressing problems and challenges in a creative way.（创造性解决问题（CPS）是一种以创造性的方式解决问题和挑战的模式。）和全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了一种新颖的处理问题的模型（CPS）；文章详细阐述了该模型的三个主要阶段，并通过具体的例子说明了该模型的应用过程。结合选项，可知A novel model to deal with problems.一种处理问题的新模式。故答案为A。
六、D
（2024九上·西城期中）I remember once asking the famous painter Elizabeth Murray what she thought of her early works. She told me that a few didn't quite meet her own mark for what she wanted them to be. One of the works, in fact, so didn't meet her mark, that she had set it out in the rubbish in her studio, and her neighbor had taken it because she saw its value. At that moment, my view of success and creativity changed. I realized that success is a moment, but what we are always celebrating is creativity and mastery.
I started to understand this when I watched an archer. She first hit a seven ring, and then a nine, and then two tens, and then the next arrow didn't even hit the target. And I saw that gave her more tenacity (韧性), and she went after it again and again. For three hours this went on. So, success is hitting that ten ring, but mastery is knowing that it means nothing if you can't do it again and again. Mastery is not just the same as excellence, though. It's not the same as success, which I see as an event, a moment in time, and a title the world awards you. Mastery is not a commitment (投入) to a goal but to a continuous search. What gets us to push forward more is to value a near win.
Part of the reason that the near win is inbuilt to mastery is because the greater our proficiency (精通), the more clearly we might see that we don't know all that we thought we did. It's called the "Dunning-Kruger effect". The Paris Review got it out of James Baldwin when they asked him, "What do you think increases with knowledge " and he said, "You learn how little you know."
Success motivates us, but a near win can push us in an ongoing quest (探索). One of the most vivid examples of this comes when we look at the difference between Olympic silver medalists and bronze medalists after a competition. Thomas Gilovich and his team from Cornell studied this difference and found that the frustration silver medalists feel compared to bronze medalists, who are typically a bit happier to have just not received fourth place and not medaled at all, gives silver medalists a focus on follow-up competition.
The reason the near win driving us forward is because it changes our view of the landscape and puts our goals, which we tend to put at a distance, closer to where we stand. And this is what a near win does. It gets us to focus on what, right now, we plan to do to address that mountain in our sights.
We become, and continue to be, successful, strong and healthy not when we've done it all, but when we still have more to do. We build out of the unfinished idea, even if that idea is our former self. This is the dynamic of mastery. Coming close to what you thought you wanted can help you achieve more than you ever dreamed you pletion is a goal, but we hope it is never the end.
30．Why does the writer use the example in Paragraph 1
A．To introduce a change in the opinion.
B．To prove the value of creativity in art.
C．To show the result of a wrong judgement.
D．To stress the importance of a good neighbor.
31．What do you know about success and mastery from the passage
A．Most successes are driven by Dunning-Kruger effect.
B．Making every effort to win is what mastery underlines.
C．Success means going after excellence over and over again.
D．Knowing how little we know sets us on the path to mastery.
32．Which of the following most probably shows the effect of a near win
A．A writer penned a novel and became famous overnight.
B．A boxer, who lost in a close match, trained harder than before.
C．A scientist changed the research area after careful planning.
D．A teacher, who kept encouraging students, received an honor.
33．What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage
A．To explain the true meaning of mastery.
B．To inspire people to continue reaching higher.
C．To present the benefits of having the right goal.
D．To compare different ways to deal with a near win.
【答案】30．A
31．D
32．B
33．A
【知识点】说明文；自我提升；细节理解；推理判断；文章大意
【解析】【分析】短文大意：本文通过画家、弓箭手、奥运奖牌得主等例子，探讨了成功与精通的区别。指出成功是瞬间的事件，而精通是一种持续的追求和成长，近乎成功(near win)能推动人们不断前进，强调精通的真正含义在于持续的探索和提升。【点评】考查自我提升类阅读。本篇文章涉及细节理解题、推理判断题和文章大意题三种题型。细节理解题要根据题干中的关键词，找准相关句、段的内容，再仔细对照，不符合原文意义的选项要首先排除，反之，则是正确选项。做推理判断题不能凭主观臆断推测或妄加猜测，必须忠实于原文，以材料所提供的相关事实和线索为依据，使做出的推理合乎文意。文章大意题是段落的主题思想，标题或目的。解这种题目时，不能只凭文中的只言片语而断章取义，都需要在细读全文的基础上，结合所学语言知识、背景知识、生活常识、专业知识进行逻辑思维推理判断，从而获取文中内含的信息。
30．细节理解题。根据"One of the works, in fact, so didn't meet her mark, that she had set it out in the rubbish in her studio, and her neighbor had taken it because she saw its value. At that moment, my view of success and creativity changed.（事实上，其中一幅作品没有达到她的要求 ，她把它放在工作室的垃圾堆里，她的邻居拿走了它，因为她看到了它的价值。在那一刻，我对成功和创造力的看法改变了。）可知，作者在第一段介绍了画家Elizabeth Murray丢弃不满意的作品的例子，并说明自己在那一刻对成功和创造力的看法改变了；即第一段引用例子，是为了引出观点的变化 。故答案为A。
31．推理判断题。根据Mastery is not a commitment (投入) to a goal but to a continuous search. （精通不是对一个目标的承诺，而是持续不断的探索。）和The Paris Review got it out of James Baldwin when they asked him, "What do you think increases with knowledge " and he said, "You learn how little you know."（《巴黎评论》问詹姆斯·鲍德温："你认为什么东西随着知识的增长而增长？"他说："你学到的东西越少。"）可知，你认识到自己学到的东西越少，你就会不断地探索。所以意识到自己的知识有限才能引导我们走向精通之路。故答案为D。
32．推理判断题。根据Thomas Gilovich and his team from Cornell studied this difference and found that the frustration silver medalists feel compared to bronze medalists, who are typically a bit happier to have just not received fourth place and not medaled at all, gives silver medalists a focus on follow-up competition.（托马斯·吉洛维奇（Thomas Gilovich）和他来自康奈尔大学的团队研究了这种差异，发现银牌获得者与铜牌获得者相比感到沮丧，后者通常对没有获得第四名和根本没有获得奖牌感到更高兴，这让银牌获得者专注于后续的比赛。）可知，对于银牌得主而是是"差一点获胜"，因此银牌得主后续会更加努力地训练去赢得金牌；结合选项，可知B：A boxer, who lost in a close match, trained harder than before.一个拳击手在一场势均力敌的比赛中输了，他比以前更加刻苦地训练。符合题意，故答案为B。
33．文章大意题。根据短文内容可知，文章开篇通过例子引出对成功和精通的看法，接着阐述"精通不是对目标的承诺，而是持续探索""近乎成功推动持续追求"等内容，最后总结"精通的动态在于未完成的想法"，核心围绕"精通"的定义、内涵及与成功的区别展开。所以作者的主要目的是解释精通的真正含义 。故答案为A。
七、阅读表达 （第34-36题每题2分，第37题4分，共10分）
（2024九上·西城期中）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
Time capsules
A time capsule is a container (容器) that holds records or objects to show today's culture. Making a family time capsule can be a wonderful chance to present everyone's interests, record hopes for the future, and send your future selves an exciting treasure to see what you have saved! Here's everything you need to know to make a time capsule for your kids.
The first step is to decide when you're going to open it. This goal date will inform many parts of the process, including what you put in and where you hide it. For little kids, a date too far in the future won't sound fun, so I suggest a year or two as a starting point. Older kids may want to open it when they graduate from high school or achieve other important goals.
Once you've chosen a date, it's time to start collecting items (物品)! Find or make items symbolizing important parts of their lives. If your daughter is the family Sudoku (数独) champion, have her include a partially completed puzzle to see if her future self can solve the rest! The most important part of this step is that everyone chooses items with personal meanings. When you open the time capsule in the future, the memories will come flooding back, and everyone will have fun recalling each object's importance.
A time capsule isn't complete without a few items that show the "present times". A newspaper page with a funny story from this week is an excellent addition. A letter to your future self is an often overlooked (忽略) but memorable part of a time capsule.
Once you've collected everything for the time capsule, it's time to decide where you'll hide it. If you plan to hide it indoors, you'll need to choose a place that isn't easily found—you don't want to tempt (诱惑) those small hands! For an outdoor place, choose somewhere that won't get covered by large trees or walls in the coming years.
You can choose your best container according to its hiding place and the number of chosen items. Using a shoe box or other cardboard material is an easy choice for an inside location. If you want to hide it outdoors, stainless steel (不锈钢) is an excellent choice.
The last step is to hide the time capsule! Whether you're hiding it outside or placing it on a shelf in the garage, make sure to note where it's hidden. Future-you will be thankful for the clues!
Making a time capsule is a great way to encourage your kids to be creative, so grab everyone and get started today!

One hot summer day at my grandparents' house, I asked Grandma for some ice cream and sat on the porch. Before long, Grandpa joined me in eating ice cream. We laughed when a drop fell on Grandpa's belly. "Your mother will be angry with me for that."
"You mean my grandma," I corrected. Grandpa often 13． me with Mom when she was a little girl. Mom said Grandpa had Alzheimer's, which made him forget things.
"Yes, your grandma," Grandpa said softly.
Grandma came out as we finished our ice cream. "We're going shopping," she said, handing me a shopping list.
The phone rang inside.
"I'll be back in a minute." she said, leaving her handbag by Grandpa.
Grandpa found Grandma's 14． in her handbag and smiled. "How about we go to the store and surprise her "
My heart beat a little faster. I knew Grandpa was not supposed to drive anymore.
Grandpa pushed himself to his feet. "Come on, before she gets back." Though a little worried, I 15． him as he headed to the car.
"Grandpa," I whispered, "I think we should wait for Grandma."
Grandpa smiled at me warmly and took the shopping list from me with a determined look.
I felt relaxed as Grandpa slowly backed the car down the driveway.
Suddenly, I saw Grandma waving her arms 16． from the porch, screaming. "George! No!"
"Why is she so upset " Grandpa asked calmly.
As we neared the stop sign, the car sped up instead of slowing down. "Grandpa! You have to stop!" I shouted.
He didn't hear me and 17． through the intersection. Grandpa looked at his watch, causing the car to run into the opposite lane. I was too scared to speak.

"Grandpa, it's me, Melanie. I don't have school—it's summer," I said.
"Stop trying to distract (打扰) me or I'll miss the school," Grandpa said.
Suddenly, we were racing up behind a man on a red bicycle.
"Grandpa!" I screamed. "The bicycle!"
"Whoa!" Grandpa shouted, 18． the man just in time. He quickly turned the car and kept speeding up.
Tears filled my eyes. The man who once made me feel safe was now scaring me. It wasn't just the speeding car that frightened me; it was realizing that my old grandpa was gone. This confused man who had once taken care of me now needed me to take care of him.
I took a deep breath and forced my voice to sound 19． . "Hey, Dad. Do you think you can pull over real quick "
"Pull over Why "
"I can't remember if I put my backpack in the trunk (后备箱), and my homework is in it. Can you help me look " I knew I had to get him out of the car.
Grandpa opened the car door and headed out.
At that moment, a police car stopped around the corner. Before I knew it, Grandma and an officer were at our sides. Grandma, whom I had never seen cry, was sobbing (啜泣) as she hugged Grandpa and me.
With all the confusion, Grandpa seemed to 20． about taking me to school. We were all back into the car and Grandma started driving, when suddenly Grandpa turned and gave me a wink (眨眼). That's when I knew the old Grandpa was still there. He just came out when I least expected it.

（2024九上·西城期中）A sky full of courageSam rushed into Mom's study, excited. "Look at this!" He held up a bright blue tail feather. "It's a Western Bluebird! I've been looking for this one for ages!"
Mom smiled, "It's beautiful. Tomorrow, I get to fly a biplane over downtown Portland for the air show. Want to come with me "
Sam felt nervous about flying, especially in an open cockpit (开放式座舱) biplane. "No, thanks, Mom. Sorry," he said, ducking his head and heading upstairs. With each heavy step, he told himself that planes are safe and that he shouldn't be afraid to fly, especially as the son of Portland's best pilot.
Sam pulled out his feather book, eager to organize his collection. He opened his book to "W" and placed the new blue feather under "Western Bluebird." The next page, "V-Vaux's Swift (沃氏雨燕)," was empty. Every fall, groups of Vaux's Swifts fly through Portland on their way south. But they hadn't shown up this year, leaving people worried.
Then his friend Emily arrived and asked him to go to the Wildlife Care Center, where they volunteered. On their way, the air was smoky from wildfires. As they entered the room, Dr. Malone was holding a Vaux's Swift with a broken wing. "It had been found off course at Matthews Valley, most likely confused by the wildfire smoke," Dr. Malone told them. "And the flock (群) of swifts must be lost!" Sam was shocked and knew he had to act.
Suddenly an idea hit Sam. But his plan to find the swifts would work if only he had the courage to fly. That night, he lay in bed, holding the feather, repeating his wish: "I'm brave enough."
The next morning, he nervously told his mom, "I'm flying with you today. But, after the air show, we have to keep going to Matthews Valley." She was surprised but agreed.
After the show, Mom continued flying the red biplane to Matthews Valley, with Sam sitting behind her, holding a birdcage with the injured (受伤的) swift. "Matthews Valley is below us now," Mom shouted. "You have to find those birds soon. We have just enough gas to get back." Sam used binoculars (双筒望远镜) but saw nothing. He suggested they turn off the engine and fly slowly to hear better. Mom agreed, and the plane went silent.
Just then, Sam noticed a cloud of swifts high above. The injured swift called out, and the flock noticed it and quickly flew around the plane. More swifts joined, forming a group around them.
"Fly back home, Mom!" Sam said. "Let's see if they follow us." Mom restarted the engine and headed back to Portland. The swifts followed, and Sam felt excited.
"You did it, Sam!" Mom said, laughing. Sam knew she meant more than just finding the birds. As they flew, Sam forgot his fear and felt like part of the flock. He held out his arms, lifted his head, and led the swifts home.
24．How did Sam feel when he found the blue tail feather
A．Upset. B．Relaxed. C．Worried. D．Excited.
25．What happened to the flock of swifts
A．They got hurt in the air show.
B．They were saved by Dr. Malone.
C．They lost their way on the flight path.
D．They were locked in birdcages.
26．What was Sam like in the story
A．Smart and honest. B．Creative and energetic.
C．Brave and helpful. D．Shy and understanding.

（2024九上·西城期中）Creative Problem Solving (CPS) is a model for addressing problems and challenges in a creative way. It divides the creative problem solving process into three general areas: Exploring the Challenge, Generating Ideas, and Preparing for Action.
Exploring the Challenge
Exploring the Challenge involves selecting a broad goal, opportunity, or challenge and setting the direction for work.
* Objective Finding
In Objective Finding, students identify a problem or opportunity to address. They learn to look for problems and opportunities that will allow them to take action. For example, some students were asked to do a report on the town's 250th anniversary (周年庆典). It was not a "problem" in the sense that there was any difficulty, but it was an opportunity.
* Fact Finding
In Fact Finding, students learn as much about the situation as possible. For the 250th anniversary group, the curious students read town history, talked to local officials about planned celebrations, and spoke to community members about town activities long ago.
* Problem Finding
In Problem Finding, problem solvers identify sub-problems in their challenge. Students should list as many problem statements as possible before choosing the one that best expresses the problem they choose to address. The anniversary group's problem was something like "In what ways might we celebrate the town's 250th anniversary so that it will be remembered "
Generating Ideas
In this stage (阶段), problem solvers come up with as many varied and unusual ideas as possible for solving the problem. Afterwards, a smaller number of ideas usually are selected to continue the CPS process. The 250th anniversary group suggested numerous ideas for a community celebration: a town festival, a new time capsule (胶囊), and a variety of school projects.
Preparing for Action
* Solution Finding
In Solution Finding, the short list of ideas is evaluated (评估). Students probably find that the point totals may not always identify the best idea. Sometimes an idea may rank (评级) high but be impossible to carry out.
In the actual 250th anniversary group, building a time capsule did not outrank all other ideas, especially those concerning community involvement, but many class members loved that idea more than any other. They realized that for this project, class interest was truly important, so they gave it additional weight.
* Acceptance Finding
The final stage of the CPS process asks problem solvers to create a plan of action. They are to decide what needs to be done and who will be responsible for each task, and plan reasonable time frame.
The 250th anniversary group needed detailed plans to realize their ideas. This stage of the process, in which they thought about the details of cost, timing, and responsibilities for each project, allowed them to plan ahead, thus avoiding many difficulties later on.
27．The 250th anniversary group is mentioned to ________.
A．introduce a universal problem for students
B．share the writer's experience of doing CPS
C．stress the importance of creativity and teamwork
D．explain how CPS works in real-world situations

六、D
（2024九上·西城期中）I remember once asking the famous painter Elizabeth Murray what she thought of her early works. She told me that a few didn't quite meet her own mark for what she wanted them to be. One of the works, in fact, so didn't meet her mark, that she had set it out in the rubbish in her studio, and her neighbor had taken it because she saw its value. At that moment, my view of success and creativity changed. I realized that success is a moment, but what we are always celebrating is creativity and mastery.
I started to understand this when I watched an archer. She first hit a seven ring, and then a nine, and then two tens, and then the next arrow didn't even hit the target. And I saw that gave her more tenacity (韧性), and she went after it again and again. For three hours this went on. So, success is hitting that ten ring, but mastery is knowing that it means nothing if you can't do it again and again. Mastery is not just the same as excellence, though. It's not the same as success, which I see as an event, a moment in time, and a title the world awards you. Mastery is not a commitment (投入) to a goal but to a continuous search. What gets us to push forward more is to value a near win.
Part of the reason that the near win is inbuilt to mastery is because the greater our proficiency (精通), the more clearly we might see that we don't know all that we thought we did. It's called the "Dunning-Kruger effect". The Paris Review got it out of James Baldwin when they asked him, "What do you think increases with knowledge " and he said, "You learn how little you know."
Success motivates us, but a near win can push us in an ongoing quest (探索). One of the most vivid examples of this comes when we look at the difference between Olympic silver medalists and bronze medalists after a competition. Thomas Gilovich and his team from Cornell studied this difference and found that the frustration silver medalists feel compared to bronze medalists, who are typically a bit happier to have just not received fourth place and not medaled at all, gives silver medalists a focus on follow-up competition.
The reason the near win driving us forward is because it changes our view of the landscape and puts our goals, which we tend to put at a distance, closer to where we stand. And this is what a near win does. It gets us to focus on what, right now, we plan to do to address that mountain in our sights.
We become, and continue to be, successful, strong and healthy not when we've done it all, but when we still have more to do. We build out of the unfinished idea, even if that idea is our former self. This is the dynamic of mastery. Coming close to what you thought you wanted can help you achieve more than you ever dreamed you pletion is a goal, but we hope it is never the end.
30．Why does the writer use the example in Paragraph 1
A．To introduce a change in the opinion.
B．To prove the value of creativity in art.
C．To show the result of a wrong judgement.
D．To stress the importance of a good neighbor.
31．What do you know about success and mastery from the passage
A．Most successes are driven by Dunning-Kruger effect.
B．Making every effort to win is what mastery underlines.
C．Success means going after excellence over and over again.
D．Knowing how little we know sets us on the path to mastery.
32．Which of the following most probably shows the effect of a near win
A．A writer penned a novel and became famous overnight.
B．A boxer, who lost in a close match, trained harder than before.
C．A scientist changed the research area after careful planning.
D．A teacher, who kept encouraging students, received an honor.
33．What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage
A．To explain the true meaning of mastery.
B．To inspire people to continue reaching higher.
C．To present the benefits of having the right goal.
D．To compare different ways to deal with a near win.
七、阅读表达 （第34-36题每题2分，第37题4分，共10分）
（2024九上·西城期中）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
Time capsules
A time capsule is a container (容器) that holds records or objects to show today's culture. Making a family time capsule can be a wonderful chance to present everyone's interests, record hopes for the future, and send your future selves an exciting treasure to see what you have saved! Here's everything you need to know to make a time capsule for your kids.
The first step is to decide when you're going to open it. This goal date will inform many parts of the process, including what you put in and where you hide it. For little kids, a date too far in the future won't sound fun, so I suggest a year or two as a starting point. Older kids may want to open it when they graduate from high school or achieve other important goals.
Once you've chosen a date, it's time to start collecting items (物品)! Find or make items symbolizing important parts of their lives. If your daughter is the family Sudoku (数独) champion, have her include a partially completed puzzle to see if her future self can solve the rest! The most important part of this step is that everyone chooses items with personal meanings. When you open the time capsule in the future, the memories will come flooding back, and everyone will have fun recalling each object's importance.
A time capsule isn't complete without a few items that show the "present times". A newspaper page with a funny story from this week is an excellent addition. A letter to your future self is an often overlooked (忽略) but memorable part of a time capsule.
Once you've collected everything for the time capsule, it's time to decide where you'll hide it. If you plan to hide it indoors, you'll need to choose a place that isn't easily found—you don't want to tempt (诱惑) those small hands! For an outdoor place, choose somewhere that won't get covered by large trees or walls in the coming years.
You can choose your best container according to its hiding place and the number of chosen items. Using a shoe box or other cardboard material is an easy choice for an inside location. If you want to hide it outdoors, stainless steel (不锈钢) is an excellent choice.
The last step is to hide the time capsule! Whether you're hiding it outside or placing it on a shelf in the garage, make sure to note where it's hidden. Future-you will be thankful for the clues!
Making a time capsule is a great way to encourage your kids to be creative, so grab everyone and get started today!

32．推理判断题。根据Thomas Gilovich and his team from Cornell studied this difference and found that the frustration silver medalists feel compared to bronze medalists, who are typically a bit happier to have just not received fourth place and not medaled at all, gives silver medalists a focus on follow-up competition.（托马斯·吉洛维奇（Thomas Gilovich）和他来自康奈尔大学的团队研究了这种差异，发现银牌获得者与铜牌获得者相比感到沮丧，后者通常对没有获得第四名和根本没有获得奖牌感到更高兴，这让银牌获得者专注于后续的比赛。）可知，对于银牌得主而是是"差一点获胜"，因此银牌得主后续会更加努力地训练去赢得金牌；结合选项，可知B：A boxer, who lost in a close match, trained harder than before.一个拳击手在一场势均力敌的比赛中输了，他比以前更加刻苦地训练。符合题意，故答案为B。
33．文章大意题。根据短文内容可知，文章开篇通过例子引出对成功和精通的看法，接着阐述"精通不是对目标的承诺，而是持续探索""近乎成功推动持续追求"等内容，最后总结"精通的动态在于未完成的想法"，核心围绕"精通"的定义、内涵及与成功的区别展开。所以作者的主要目的是解释精通的真正含义 。故答案为A。
