D.Consulting with the users beforehand. B When I was a child I was often told what not to eat."You don't want to get fat"was on constant repeat throughout my childhood.It really messed up my relationship with food- something that took me years to overcome.Because of this,I'm careful not to comnect what my kids weigh with their worth as people.I encourage my daughter to make healthy snack choices and often dissuade()her from a second dessert.But one day when I heard her saying"I think I'm too fat,"my heart sank.It made me wonder if giving her advice on snacks was having an unintentionally negative impact. According to Charlotte Markey,a professor of psychology,food is one of the rare subjects where,as parents,saying less is more."There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through,but I'm not convinced that food is one of them,"she says.'It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren't necessarily healthy." Instead,she recommends applying a well-known concept among nutrition experts called the "Division of Responsibility,"where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times,and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume- even if that means occasionally eating more cookies than carrots. Allowing kids to eat what they want also exposes them to the natural consequences of their 高三12月份月考英语试卷 LAJ LHr1g decisions."When your child says,'My stomach hurts,'you can say,'Well you had a lot of sugary foods and you might feel better if you made some other choices,""says Markey."Let them feel like they have some control over it." I've been trying out these strategies and I've found that when I'm less restrictive,they do make better decisions."Feeding is a long game,"says Markey."The food you have available makes a huge difference.Even if they don't eat it,they're seeing it.And then all of a sudden it clicks." 4.What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph? A.She is upset by her kids'weight. B.She is critical of the way she was fed. C.She is interested in making food. D.She is particular about what she eats. 5.Which of the following would Markey disapprove of? A.Allowing kids to eat cookies occasionally B.Offering various foods to kids at fixed times. C.Explaining to kids the risks of taking snacks. D.Talking with kids about school at mealtimes. 6.What should kids do according to the "Division of Responsibility"? A.Make diet decisions on their own. B.Share their food with other kids. C.Eat up what is provided for them. D.Help their parents do the dishes. 7.What does the author think of the strategies she has been following? A.Workable. B.Costly. C.Complex. D.Contradictory. C As the global population continues to expand,traditional farming methods are struggling to provide enough food.However,an innovative agricultural company in Compton,Los Angeles, may have the solution.Their revolutionary farming system could transform food production, offering remarkable efficiency and sustainability. It's far from the storybook picture of a farm-no mud,no boots,no hens pecking in the yard. Unlike conventional farms,this high-tech facility operates without soil,heavy machinery,or pesticides.Instead,it relies on automation and advanced plant science to maximize output,Using precisely calibrated (LED lighting and nutrient delivery systems,the facility produces 高三12月份月考英语试卷 3 up to 350 times more yields compared to traditional farms while using just 10%of the water--and it can be replicated(复制）)almost anywhere.. The entire process-from planting seeds to packaging produce-is automated.From the moment a worker tips seeds into the sowing machine,robots take over.Nearly 80 plant scientists study best growing conditions for each plant,working with over 100 engineers who translate these findings into hardware and software solutions. "Plants are really just little software programs,"explains one of the scientists.By studying plant DNA without changing it,scientists can program qualities like growth,flavor,and nutrition For instance,exposing plants to blue light at specific growth cycles creates leaves with a satisfying crunch at harvest.The same principles can enhance antioxidant levels in vegetables by up to 40%.Since crops never contact soil,pesticides,or human hands,they require no washing-reducing both water waste and pollution risks. One of the greatest threats to the natural world is habitat loss due to farmland expansion.If successful,farms like this could reduce deforestation while meeting food demands.Yet the high costs-including energy-intensive artificial lighting-may block global adoption,particularly in developing nations where infrastructure(基a础设施)is limited. Could this be the future of agriculture?With its incredible efficiency,minimal environmental impact,and potential for worldwide replication,this high-tech farming model may soon become essential in feeding our growing world-if the challenges of scaling and affordability can be overcome. 8.What is the main feature of the innovative farming system? A.It demands water-free technology. B.It gets high yields with little input C.It is widely introduced in the world. D.It mixes old and new farming methods 9.What is the scientists'major role in the process of the farming system? A.They are gene editors. B.They are machine operators. C.They are system monitors. D.They are plant programmers. 10.What may limit the worldwide spread of this farming system? A.Low public acceptance. B.Great farmland loss. C.Poor production facilities D.High energy demands 11.What is the author's attitude toward the future of agriculture? A.Optimistic B.Pessimistic. C.Indifferent. D.Doubtful. 高三12月份月考英语试卷 D Neil Shubin's Ends of the Earth provides readers with a comprehensive overview of the geology(地质学)，oceanography,.glaciology(冰J川学)，geopolitics,,and climatology of the planet's polar regions:Antarctica and the Arctic.Shubin integrates stories about his own fieldwork experiences in these places with these topics and argues that polar science provides an angle to see the natural world and the extraordinary ways we have come to know it. Shubin explains climate cycles'influence on world-wide glaciation.The "Snowball Earth" assumption suggests Earth was covered in ice twice:one 710 million years ago and the other 660 million years ago.After each freezing period,Earth's temperature rose quickly and the ice disappeared completely.These climatic changes affected the movement of early human ancestors, whose travels were influenced by habitat,glacial,and climate changes of the planet. Shubin notes that the stories of the poles have largely been told by men who were explorers first and scientists second.To correct this,he highlights the work of three trailblazing women researchers in polar geology:Margaret Bradshaw,one of the first women to lead field teams in Antarctica;Maureen Raymo,who studies land weathering and the carbon cycle;and Mary Dawson,a paleontologist who discovered that the Arctic was warm 50 million years ago and animals could travel between continents. While these regions seem remote from civilisation,Shubin reveals the impacts of pole changes on the other parts of the globe.These include increased greenhouse gas release,sped-up global warming,changes to animal populations,and the reemergence of diseases like anthrax. One of the most important impacts is on the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC),an ocean current that brings warm water to the north Atlantic and keeps Europe "warm" relative to other locations at the same latitude )A collapse of the AMOC,which some experts argue is already occurring,could bring colder weather to these countries. "Having led my own explorations to polar regions for several decades,I feel the work has become a part of me,"writes Shubin."But the opposite is also true:our lives become part of the landscape.Following this line of reasoning,we find it important to remember that our lives in nonpolar regions affect what happens at the poles. 12.What does Shubin's book aim to do? A.Share his own travel stories. B.Offer insights into polar science. C.Present tips for polar explorations. D.Discuss the geopolitics of the poles. 高三12月份月考英语试卷 13.What does the underlined word "trailblazing"in paragraph 3 mean? A.Fascinating. B.Inspiring. C.Pioneering. D.Promising. 14.What can be learned from paragraph 5? A.Climate cycles restore polar balance. B.Polar changes escape human control. C.Human activities.shape polar eco-system. D.Tourism growth outweighs polar protection. 15.What is the best title for the text? A.Trailblazing Women Researchers in Polar Geology B.Climate Cycles and Their Impact on Polar Glaciation C.Neil Shubin's Fieldwork Experiences in Polar Regions D.Ends of the Earth:Polar Science and Global Connections 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。 AI's Place in Today's Schools Artificial intelligence is entering classrooms worldwide.This technology brings exciting possibilities for both teachers and students. Personalized learning stands out as a key benefit.16 They then offer exercises matching that student's level and speed.For example,a student struggling with math might get simpler problems first.This approach helps everyone progress more effectively. Teachers gain valuable support from AI too.Grading homework and tests takes less time with AI assistance.Teachers can then focus more on guiding students directly.Furthermore,AI identifies topics where many students face difficulties.17 Accessibility improves significantly with AI.Students with hearing challenges can use tools that turn speech into text.Those with vision problems can have texts read aloud. 18 Therefore,classrooms become more inclusive places. 19 AI handles schedules and tracks resources efficiently.Finding free classrooms or books takes minutes instead of hours.This efficiency frees staff's time for more important tasks. Of course,multiple challenges remain.Protecting student data is extremely important. 20 We must address these issues carefully.Still,AI clearly offers powerful ways to improve education for many when used wisely. 高三12月价月考英语试卷 A.School management also becomes smoother. B.AI tools can study how each student learns best. C.Such tools ensure learning materials reach everyone. D.Thus,education extends beyond traditional classrooms E.Teachers often require extra training to use Al effectively. F.This insight allows teachers to adjust their lessons accordingly. G.Without proper protection,student data may fall into wrong hands. 第二部分语言运用（共两节，每小题1分，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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I love needles.They have a variety of uses,from creating vivid designs out of wool to providing medical 21.Each needle I own represents a different 22 in my life.

For weeks,I imagined the towering palaces,the red-and-gold gates,and the stories hidden in every corner.Finally,the day arrived,and there I was,standing in the heart of Beijing,staring up at the most magnificent buildings I had ever seen. The Forbidden City was even more incredible in real life.The golden roofs shone under the 高三12月份月考英语试卷 0 sun,the delicate carvings told silent tales of emperors and warriors,and the vast courtyards made me feel like I had stepped into a fairy tale.Every turn revealed something new-a dragon statue, a marble staircase,a hidden garden-and I couldn't stop taking pictures,desperate to capture every detail.My parents laughed as I dragged them from one spot to another,insisting on yet another photo. What struck me most were the colors.The imperial yellow of the rooftops against the deep red walls looked brighter than any picture could show.Even the stone pathways seemed to glow with centuries of footsteps.I remembered running my fingers along a carved marble railing, wondering how many hands had touched that same spot over six hundred years. The place was packed with tourists,all murmuring in different languages,their faces filled with the same amazement as mine.Some pointed at the architecture,others posed for pictures, and a few just stood quietly,taking it all in.The energy was infectious-everyone seemed to feel the magic of this ancient place. As the afternoon wore on,we followed the crowd toward the exit.The sea of people was overwhelming,and I,being small for my age,grasped my father's hand tightly,afraid to get lost in the rushing crowd.The noise,the heat,and the excitement made everything feel like a blur-until suddenly,I looked down at the large hand I was holding-the wrong watch,the wrong-colored ring. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (②)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位避作答。 My blood turned to ice. There he was,just three people away. 高三12月份月考英语试卷 10
