Realizing that a drop-off center alone was not a sustainable solution, Alex took his efforts to the state level in 2006. He spoke at the state house, advocating for a new e-waste bill that would outlaw the dumping (倾倒) of e-waste. Along with other supporters, he engaged with lawmakers, presented slideshows, and gathered over 370 signatures. Ultimately, the bill was passed into law.

D Recently the topic of “school subject colors” has become a heated debate. Everyone seems to have strong opinions about which colors are associated (关联) with which school subjects, even if they graduated from school a long time ago. People associate school subjects with colors subconsciously (下意识地). There could be lots of reasons for these color associations, but the most common explanation is that they're based on something people learned as a kid. At many schools, kids were asked to use color folders to keep their notes and homework in. Many people got so used to using the same colors over and over again that they still associate those colors with subjects to this day. Of course, the color of each subject is different depending on the school kids went to and the teachers they had as well as their personal preferences. For that reason, not everyone agrees on colors. However, a few associations are more widely accepted. For example, science, which nearly everyone thinks is green, does not spark much debate. It includes classes like chemistry, biology, and physics and they are closely related to nature. When people think of nature and the environment, green is a key color because so many things in nature are green. People could also choose colors based on how the subjects make them feel. For example, if a subject makes them happy and excited, they might call it yellow. However, if a subject makes them angry, they could associate it with red. As for blue, if a subject is fun and relaxing, then it's likely that blue comes to mind first. There are no right or wrong answers for the school subject debate. While the exact reason varies from person to person, it's a fascinating topic to focus on. It goes to show that just because we see something one way and someone else sees it another way doesn't mean it's wrong. It's just two different viewpoints. 12. Where do most people think their color associations come from? A. Their personal preferences. B. Their grades of each subject. C Their school experience as a kid. D. Their teachers' teaching methods. 13. What does the underlined word "spark" in paragraph 3 most likely mean? A. Cause. B. Reduce. C. Flash. D. End. 14. Which color will an relaxing subject probably remind people of? A. Yellow. B. Red. C. Blue. D. Green. 15. What is the best title of the passage? A. Who Likes Associating Colors to School Subjects B. How People Associate Colors with School Subjects C. Why People Debate over Associations with Subjects D. What Colours People Associate with Certain Subjects 二. 七选五（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。 Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning and put the blame on the alarm clock.

Whether it was sunny or cloudy, hot or cold, I cannot remember, but I do remember it was a Saturday because the shopping mall was packed with people. I was with my mom. Mom is short and skinny. It is easy to overlook her in a crowd simply because she is nothing extraordinary to see. On that day we walked down the road, taking quick looks at window boutiques (精品店) because we both knew we wouldn’t be buying much, like always. I remember I was looking up at the people we passed as we walked. Ladies wore five-inch heels (高跟鞋) that clicked importantly on the floor and bright, luxury clothing. An uneasy feeling started to settle in my chest. I tried to push it out, but once it took root it refused to go. It got more unbearable with every second until I could deny it no longer; I was ashamed of my mother. We were in a high-class neighborhood, I knew that. We lived in a small, overpriced apartment building that hung on to the edge of our county that Mom chose to move to because she knew the schools were good. As I looked at the passers-by and then turned accusing eyes on Mom. I realized for the first time that we didn’t belong there. I could see the deep wrinkles around Mom’s eyes and mouth. She wore cheap, old clothes, and shoes with the soles (鞋底) worn down. Her eyes were tired from working long hours to make ends meet and her hair was too gray for her age. I looked at her, and I was ashamed. My mom is nothing extraordinary, yet at that moment she stood out because she was just so plain. Saying I’d meet her at the clothes store around the corner, I hurried away to the bathroom. I didn’t want to be seen with her, although there was no one important around to see me anyway. When I finally made my way to the store with hesitant steps, I found that Mom wasn’t there. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 With no other options, I had to search the other stores in the area for her. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I felt ashamed of myself, facing Mom’s offer. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2026届高二年级第一学期8月月考英语试卷 时间100分钟 卷面满分120分 一. 阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Rome can be pricey for travelers, which is why many choose to stay in a hostel (旅社).

He persuaded his school to integrate computer refurbishment into the curriculum, enabling students to collect, restore, and distribute 260 computers to children in need.(Alex和他的团队认识到再利用的重要性，它的效率是回收的七倍，他们开始探索翻新旧电脑的方法。他说服学校将电脑翻新纳入课程，使学生能够收集、修复并将260台电脑分发给有需要的儿童。)”和第五段的“Realizing that a drop-off center alone was not a sustainable solution, Alex took his efforts to the state level in 2006. He spoke at the state house, advocating for a new e-waste bill that would outlaw the dumping of e-waste. Along with other supporters, he engaged with lawmakers, presented slideshows, and gathered over 370 signatures. Ultimately, the bill was passed into law.(Alex意识到，单靠一个接送中心并不是一个可持续的解决方案，于是在2006年将他的努力扩展到了州一级。他在州议会大厦发表讲话，倡导一项新的电子垃圾法案，该法案将禁止倾倒电子垃圾。他与其他支持者一起，与立法者接触，播放幻灯片，并收集了370多个签名。最终，该法案被通过成为法律。)”可知，亚历克斯和他的团队通过设立项目、建立接送中心、将电脑翻新纳入学校课程、倡导立法改革等方式展示了创新精神，他们通过持续努力解决电子废物管理问题并产生重大影响，表明了他们具有解决问题的创新精神并且坚定不移地去解决问题，因此B项“有创新精神的和坚定的”为正确选项。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“Recognizing the importance of reuse, which is seven times more efficient than recycling, Alex and his team began exploring ways to returnish the old computers. He persuaded his school to integrate computer refurbishment into the curriculum, enabling students to collect, restore, and distribute 260 computers to children in need.(Alex和他的团队认识到再利用的重要性，它的效率是回收的七倍，他们开始探索翻新旧电脑的方法。他说服学校将电脑翻新纳入课程，使学生能够收集、修复并将260台电脑分发给有需要的儿童。)”可知，Alex和他的团队意识到再利用的重要性，这比回收更有效，他们翻新电脑，分发给有需要的儿童，从而延长电子产品的使用寿命，减少浪费。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Today’s technology should not become tomorrow’s poison.(今天的技术不应该成为明天的毒药。)”可知，该句话强调了安全和负责任地处置电子废物的重要性，以防止电子产品中发现的有毒物质对环境和健康造成危害，即旧的电子产品应该得到妥善处理。故选D。 D Recently, the topic of “school subject colors” has become a heated debate. Everyone seems to have strong opinions about which colors are associated (关联) with which school subjects, even if they graduated from school a long time ago. People associate school subjects with colors subconsciously (下意识地). There could be lots of reasons for these color associations, but the most common explanation is that they're based on something people learned as a kid. At many schools, kids were asked to use color folders to keep their notes and homework in. Many people got so used to using the same colors over and over again that they still associate those colors with subjects to this day. Of course, the color of each subject is different depending on the school kids went to and the teachers they had as well as their personal preferences. For that reason, not everyone agrees on colors. However, a few associations are more widely accepted. For example, science, which nearly everyone thinks is green, does not spark much debate. It includes classes like chemistry, biology, and physics and they are closely related to nature. When people think of nature and the environment, green is a key color because so many things in nature are green. People could also choose colors based on how the subjects make them feel. For example, if a subject makes them happy and excited, they might call it yellow. However, if a subject makes them angry, they could associate it with red. As for blue, if a subject is fun and relaxing, then it's likely that blue comes to mind first. There are no right or wrong answers for the school subject debate. While the exact reason varies from person to person, it's a fascinating topic to focus on. It goes to show that just because we see something one way and someone else sees it another way doesn't mean it's wrong. It's just two different viewpoints. 12. Where do most people think their color associations come from? A. Their personal preferences. B. Their grades of each subject. C. Their school experience as a kid. D. Their teachers' teaching methods. 13. What does the underlined word "spark" in paragraph 3 most likely mean? A. Cause. B. Reduce. C. Flash. D. End. 14. Which color will an relaxing subject probably remind people of? A. Yellow. B. Red. C. Blue. D. Green. 15. What is the best title of the passage? A. Who Likes Associating Colors to School Subjects B. How People Associate Colors with School Subjects C. Why People Debate over Associations with Subjects D. What Colours People Associate with Certain Subjects 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人们是如何将学校学科和颜色联系起来的。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“People associate school subjects with colors subconsciously (下意识地). There could be lots of reasons for these color associations, but the most common explanation is that they're based on something people learned as a kid.(人们下意识地把学校的科目和颜色联系起来。这些颜色联想可能有很多原因，但最常见的解释是它们是基于人们小时候学到的东西)”可知，大多数人认为他们的颜色联想来自于他们小时候的学校经历。故选C项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“However, a few associations are more widely accepted. For example, science, which nearly everyone thinks is green, (然而，一些联系被更广泛地接受。例如，科学，几乎所有人都认为是绿色)”可知，科学和绿色联系在一起是几乎所有人同意的，不会引发太多争论。由此推知，划线单词表示“引发，触发”，与cause同义。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“As for blue, if a subject is fun and relaxing, then it's likely that blue comes to mind first. (至于蓝色，如果一个主题是有趣和放松的，那么很可能首先想到的是蓝色)”可知，一个轻松的主题会让人想起蓝色。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Recently, the topic of “school subject colors” has become a heated debate. Everyone seems to have strong opinions about which colors are associated (关联) with which school subjects, even if they graduated from school a long time ago.(最近，关于“学校主题色彩”的话题成为了人们热议的话题。每个人似乎都对不同的颜色和不同的科目有不同的看法，即使他们已经从学校毕业很久了)”及下午介绍可知，文章主要讲述了人们是如何将将学校科目和颜色联系起来的。由此可知，How People Associate Colors with School Subjects(人们是如何将颜色与学校科目联系起来的)可以作为文章标题。故选B项。 二. 七选五（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。 Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning and put the blame on the alarm clock.

E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何帮助人们制定一个计划去调节生物钟，确保起床不再是一件令人头疼的事。 【16题详解】 上文“In fact, the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resting your body clock(事实上，早晨轻松起床的关键在于让你的生物钟休息。)”指出让你的生物钟休息，能帮你早晨轻松起床，空处应该承接上文，指出怎样能让你的生物钟休息，从而实现早上轻松起床，C项“A better plan for sleep can help.(一个更好的睡眠计划会有所帮助。)”符合，引起下文，下文“Here is how to make one.(以下是制作一个睡眠计划的方法。)”中的one代指选项提到的“A better plan”，故选C。 【17题详解】 分析文章结构可知，此处是本段中心句。下文“In order to make a change, you need to decide why it’s important. Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise or just be better prepared for your day? Once you are clear about your reason, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make.(为了做出改变，你需要决定为什么它是重要的。你想准时起床和家人一起吃早餐，做些运动或者只是为你的一天做更好的准备吗？一旦你清楚了你的理由，告诉你的家人或室友你想要做的改变。)”可知，本段主要讲要找到自己的动机，B项“Find the right motivation.(找到正确的动机。)”符合，能概括本段内容，故选B。 【18题详解】 下文“That’s a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer.(如果你买一个带定时器的咖啡机，你可以多睡一刻钟。)”指出，作者建议买一个带定时器的咖啡机，这样就能节约15分钟喝咖啡的时间，让你多睡15分钟，由此可知，空处应该引起下文，指出你在咖啡馆排队会浪费15分钟时间，所以作者建议买一个带定时器的咖啡机，G项“Reconsider the 15 minutes you spend in line at the cafe to get coffee.(重新考虑一下你在咖啡馆排队买咖啡的15分钟。)”符合，其中“the 15 minutes”呼应下文的“a quarter-hour”，故选G。 【19题详解】 根据本段中心句“Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends.(周末保持你的睡眠/起床时间表)”可知，本段主要建议人们在周末也要坚持自己的作息时间，上文“But compensating (弥补) on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week, a recent study found(但最近的一项研究发现，周末的补偿实际上会让你在接下来的一周更加困倦。)”指出如果周末没有保持自己的作息时间，而是多睡觉，这实际上让自己下周更困倦，由此可知，此处强调我们应该要保持自己的作息时间，F项“Stick to your set bedtime and wake-up time, no matter the day it is.(不管是哪一天，都要坚持你设定的睡觉时间和起床时间。)”符合，对上文做出总结，故选F。 【20题详解】 上文“After you’ve tried a new method for a week, take a look at your record.(在你尝试了一个星期的新方法之后，看看你的记录。)”指出我们在尝试新方法后，要自己做好记录同时进行评估，下文“If not, take another look at other methods you could try.(如果没有，再看看其他你可以尝试的方法。)”指出尝试的新方法如果不起作用，要改变方法，由此可推知，空处应该与下文对应，指出如果方法奏效，要继续使用，E项“If the steps you take are working, keep it up.(如果你采取的措施奏效了，那就坚持下去。)”符合，故选E。 三. 完形填空（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。 We took the bus every day that summer many years ago.

Whether it was sunny or cloudy, hot or cold, I cannot remember, but I do remember it was a Saturday because the shopping mall was packed with people. I was with my mom. Mom is short and skinny. It is easy to overlook her in a crowd simply because she is nothing extraordinary to see. On that day we walked down the road, taking quick looks at window boutiques (精品店) because we both knew we wouldn’t be buying much, like always. I remember I was looking up at the people we passed as we walked. Ladies wore five-inch heels (高跟鞋) that clicked importantly on the floor and bright, luxury clothing. An uneasy feeling started to settle in my chest. I tried to push it out, but once it took root it refused to go. It got more unbearable with every second until I could deny it no longer; I was ashamed of my mother. We were in a high-class neighborhood, I knew that. We lived in a small, overpriced apartment building that hung on to the edge of our county that Mom chose to move to because she knew the schools were good. As I looked at the passers-by and then turned accusing eyes on Mom. I realized for the first time that we didn’t belong there. I could see the deep wrinkles around Mom’s eyes and mouth. She wore cheap, old clothes, and shoes with the soles (鞋底) worn down. Her eyes were tired from working long hours to make ends meet and her hair was too gray for her age. I looked at her, and I was ashamed. My mom is nothing extraordinary, yet at that moment she stood out because she was just so plain. Saying I’d meet her at the clothes store around the corner, I hurried away to the bathroom. I didn’t want to be seen with her, although there was no one important around to see me anyway. When I finally made my way to the store with hesitant steps, I found that Mom wasn’t there. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 With no other options, I had to search the other stores in the area for her. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I felt ashamed of myself, facing Mom’s offer. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】With no other options, I had to search the other stores in the area for her. Anxious to meet her again, I was afraid of the awkwardness that had accompanied us. Reluctantly and impatiently, my will to search decreased. But my assumptions were misguided. Mom stood in a high-end store, clutching an extravagant sweater. “This will suit you,” she said. I nearly nodded in haste. Upon closer inspection, her weary yet joyful expression as she offered me the sweater silenced me, revealing her profound love. I felt ashamed of myself facing Mom’s offer. I was frozen in disbelief, tears streaming down my face. The expensive sweater in her hands contrasted fiercely with her worn, inexpensive clothes, a proof of her sacrifice in buying me new ones. Her constant fatigue and plain appearance stemmed from her tireless efforts to provide for me. Despite her plain appearance, her unwavering love for me shone bright.
