Students will love exploring while also gaining invaluable experience by designing and conducting experiments. Sunscreen Experiment Kids often don’t enjoy being told they need sunscreen, so showing its power through demonstration can help them see its value. This science fair project uses simple white beads (珠子) that change color when exposed to UV rays (紫外线) so children can compare the effectiveness of different sunscreen products. Start this experiment by applying some of each sunscreen type on paper and placing both pieces of paper in direct sunlight for several hours. Sundial (日晷) Experiment Using a sundial to tell time is a fascinating science activity that helps students gain knowledge of shadows and the movement of sunlight across the sky. Through this hands-on experiment, students gain an opportunity to see how people in previous times knew time without clocks or watches. Start this experiment by asking students to identify an outdoor spot that receives sunlight all day, placing a flat board there, tracing the shadows onto it and noting where the shadows will fall at certain points of the day. Mineral Experiment Students learn to identify rocks and minerals through this simple experiment. They use a plate to test the hardness of various common minerals. They also observe how these minerals form crystals (晶体) and how they break apart differently from others. This lesson helps students understand the characteristics and uses of different minerals. Students can even form “companies” and compete to mine different types of rocks with specific features. 1．What is the main purpose of using beads in the sunscreen experiment? A．To compare the prices of sunscreen. B．To show the effectiveness of sunscreen. C．To analyze the impact of sunscreen on skin. D．To demonstrate chemical reactions in sunscreen. 2．How do students begin the sundial experiment? A．By building a sundial from beginning. B．By comparing different types of sundials. C．By measuring the length of their shadows. D．By identifying a sunny spot and using a flat board. 3．What does the mineral experiment allow students to do? A．Observe crystal formation. B．Learn geological history. C．Sell rocks they mine. D．Form companies. B Even while standing atop the podium at the 2025 Chengdu World Games, Chinese karate (空手道) champion Gong Li still felt chills down her spine when recalling her career-threatening injury. The 26-year-old defeated her Japanese opponent Sarara Shimada by 5-1 in the women’s kumite — 61 kg final, securing China’s first ever World Games gold medal in the sport. During the 20th Asian Senior Karate Championship last September, Gong suffered a severe injury and had to receive two surgeries. “I was on the verge of breaking down,” she recalled. “Many athletes never fully recover from such injuries. Some even have to retire.” It was her love for karate and an unshakable belief in herself that brought her back to the field she has always longed for and loved, Gong said. To compete at the World Games on home soil, Gong pushed through a tough eight-month recovery after surgery. “The pain was almost unbearable in the early stage of recovery,” she said. During recovery training, she realized her skills, physical conditioning and muscle strength had significantly declined, having no idea if she could ever return to her peak form. But Gong refused to give up. She wrote on her Weibo account: “I’ve always believed that karate is a sport that demands courage — not just to fight bravely in competitions, but also to fearlessly rise again after setbacks and injuries.” Gong believes the latest victory carries significance, not just because it marks her first victory after her horrific injury, but also because it makes up for the Tokyo Olympics four years ago. On Aug.7, 2021, she claimed a bronze medal. “Back then, I was too focused on winning and didn’t perform my best,” she admitted. The comeback journey has given Gong fresh insights into karate. With improvements in punches, kicks and throws, she now competes with greater calmness and determination. 4．What is special about Gong Li’s World Games victory? A．It’s Gong Li’s first try in an international event. B．It’s China’s first World Games victory in karate. C．It’s Gong Li’s last performance before she retires. D．It’s China’s first gold medal at this World Games. 5．What brought her back to the field according to Gong Li? A．The passion for the sport. B．Her strong desire to win. C．Her return to peak form. D．The pressure from fans. 6．Which words best describe Gong Li? A．Fearless and humorous. B．Determined and efficient. C．Courageous and reflective. D．Optimistic and imaginative. 7．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Overcoming Fears in Big Games. B．Gong Li’s Secrets to Championship. C．Returning from Injury to Victory. D．Gong Li’s Survival from Injuries. C Reaching for our phones upon waking, standing in the same point on the station platform — We all have habits that shape our lives. But you may underestimate the power habits have in your life. A new study finds most daily actions are done on autopilot. Habitual behaviour is made up of the things that we do without thinking, prompted (引起) by our environment and learned through repeated action. Meeting a familiar situation can cause a learned association, which in turn prompts a non-conscious (无意识的) desire to act. The sound of your alarm clock, for example, may be enough to prompt you to reach for your phone, without consciously deciding to. How much of our day-to-day lives are shaped by habit? To answer the question, we recruited (招募) 105 people, aged 18-73 years old, and sent messages to their phones six times a day over one week. Each message asked four questions: what were they doing when we interrupted them? To what extent was that action begun without conscious thought? To what extent was it performed automatically? And how much had they wanted to do it? The most commonly reported behaviour types were working or studying, and using a screen-based device. More importantly, 65% of all actions were done out of habit. However, this does not mean that we simply act mindlessly, without awareness or free will. Around one in three actions in our study were intentional but not habitual. People had consciously chosen to do them, probably because the action or setting was unfamiliar, or because their habits were not strong enough to generate influence. Crucially, 76% of all actions were things people intended to do. Habits develop when we repeatedly do things in certain settings. Several studies suggest that, with once-daily repetition, it takes around two months to form a habit. The time required for habit formation ranges considerably, though. One 2021 study found habit formation to take anywhere from 4 to 335 days. Therefore, habits aren’t free will’s enemy — they ease life. Problems arise when habits conflict with goals. When such conflicts occur, understanding how to change those habits becomes crucial. 8．What’s the purpose of paragraph 1? A．To compare different habits. B．To list people’s daily habits. C．To show the use of phones. D．To introduce the habitual behavior. 9．How are habits primarily developed? A．Through strong non-conscious desires. B．Through repeated actions in stable contexts. C．Through conscious choices in new situations. D．Through exposure to unfamiliar environments. 10．Why did the researchers send messages to participants’ phones? A．To monitor their screen time habits. B．To track their daily routine patterns. C．To remind them to form new habits. D．To collect data about their behaviors. 11．What will the text talk about next? A．Ways to break bad habits. B．Data about intentional actions. C．Approaches to designing a new study. D．Reasons why people hate changing habits. D As fast fashion overwhelms wardrobes and landfills, research suggests the future of fashion may lie in pixels (像素), not fabric. Studies indicate digital clothes worn in virtual environments (e-fashion) could bridge the gap between fast fashion consumption and environmental sustainability. E-fashion is rapidly developing beyond simple filters (滤镜) or gaming skins.Major brands now offer digital-only collections existing purely on-screen. These virtual clothes can change colour, shape, and even interact with physical items via technology. Crucially, they eliminate the environmental costs of traditional production, shipping, and waste-requiring no raw materials like polyester. Research reveals consumers, especially those seeking novelty and tactile experiences, value e-fashion for its creativity, customizability, and interactivity. Surprisingly, even consumers with a high need for physical touch are drawn to it, as they can mentally simulate tactile features, increasingly aided by VR headsets. Examples include AR runway show and virtual fitting rooms allowing try-ons from home. The concept isn’t entirely new. Digital self-presentation began in virtual worlds like Second Life, which hosted the first virtual fashion show in 2006. This early phase demonstrated the potential for fashion beyond physical restrictions but was limited by technology and reach. The foundational idea was digital identity expression, paving the way for today’s more immersive experiences. While it remains unclear if e-fashion is a fleeting trend, its environmental potential is significant. Unlike fast fashion reliant on cheap, non-recyclable materials and landfill turnover, digital clothes are produced, consumed, and abandoned digitally-removing raw material extraction, shipping emissions, and landfill waste. E-fashion has the potential to disrupt the fast fashion model profitably for brands, excite consumers, and benefit the planet. Although unlikely to replace physical fashion entirely, it can meaningfully reduce reliance on high-volume, low-value clothing and help reduce the industry’s environmental impact. As technology becomes more affordable and accessible, virtual couture (服装业) could become mainstream, fostering a new era of personalized, unique digital style. 12．What does the underlined word “eliminate” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．make up for. B．get rid of. C．do well in. D．add up to. 13．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about e-fashion? A．Its wide appeal to consumers. B．Its advantages over fast fashion. C．Its influences on economic activity. D．Its role in shaping consumption trends. 14．What does the author say about the future of e-fashion? A．It will expand around the world. B．It will bring great financial gains. C．It will reduce environmental impact. D．It will accelerate technology progress. 15．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．E-Fashion: A Sustainable Solution for Fast Fashion B．Fast Fashion’s Digital Challenge：Profits and Planet C．The Rise of Technology: Fashion’s Virtual Revolution D．Beyond Fabric: E-Fashion Won’t Replace Real Fashion 第二节（共5小题, 每小题2. 5分, 共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。 Sometimes, life throws us a curveball, leaving us feeling disconnected from ourselves and emotionally aimless. Here are simple steps to help you reconnect with your true self and support your emotional well-being. 16 Don’t overlook the power of human connection. Contact friends, family, or professional counselors to share your thoughts and feelings. Sometimes, just expressing your emotions can be incredibly relieving. Put away electronics While technology keeps us linked digitally, overuse of devices can separate us from the world more than they connect us. Be mindful about how you use your phone, tablet, or laptop, and spare time each day to unplug (拔掉……的电源), and engage with the world directly. 17 . Keep journals When life feels overwhelming, putting your thoughts on paper helps organize your feelings. This can be a self-reflective process. Try writing freely each morning, as if clearing fog from a mirror, or reflect at night to process the day’s waves. 18 . They show growth, clarifying (阐明) needs, and whispering truths you might otherwise miss. Spend time in nature 19 . Focus on the colors and movement of the trees, the feel of the grass under your feet. You might even just breathe and enjoy the feeling of the wind on your face, or the sound of birds singing, or children playing. Seek support If you remain feeling fully disconnected, there is absolutely nothing wrong with seeking professional support from a mental health professional. If your ankle (踝关节) hurts, you’re not going to try and heal it on your own, but you’re going to call in the professionals. 20 . If feelings of disconnection persist, get the specialized care that you need so you can re-center with yourself. A．Reach out B．Update your thoughts C．It’s the same thing with your mental health D．Over time, those pages become a map back to yourself E．When you get caught up in life’s confusion, step outside F．It’s important to tend to them so you don’t end up in a tough spot G．A short-time break from social media might also provide mental clarity 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, 共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。 Our 13-year-old son won a local “Hoop Shooting” competition and got to join the regional one. On a Saturday morning, we drove to Green Bay, Wisconsin. We hoped this would be his 21 to get into the state championships. Many good players came to the regional competition. My son waited 22 for his turn. After nearly an hour, he walked to the hoop. His first shot didn’t go in — it was a 23 . We could see he felt sad, and his eyes showed frustration. He tried again, but the ball missed once more. Still, he kept going. Finally, he 24 to make a few shots and got 20 points. When he left the hoop, he looked really disappointed. He was 25 that he didn’t make it —several players scored over 40 points, which was more than 26 his score. If he could decide, he would have left the game early and stayed in our hotel room. He might even have 27 himself for not playing better. But we saw this as a chance to help him 28 this hard moment in life. First, we let him talk about his frustration. Then we shared our thoughts on the 29 . We said, “We wouldn’t be here if you didn’t win the local competition. It’s okay to fail — 30 fails sometimes. What’s great is you didn’t stop trying when shots missed.” After that, we 31 to watch the rest of the game. We cheered for other players and even laughed at some funny parts. It turned out to be a nice afternoon, even though we felt bad at first. Life often gives us hard times. When you feel 32 by difficult things, don’t let them make you sad for long. As the old saying goes, “When life hands you lemons, make lemonade.” It’s not about never failing — it’s about getting back up after you fall. A few weeks later, my son talked about the competition again. He said, “I know I didn’t win, but I learned to keep trying.” This made us proud. He also decided to practice more. Every weekend, he asks his dad to play basketball with him. He wants to get better for the next 33 . One day, he told me, “Next time, I’ll aim more carefully. I won’t give up even if I miss a lot.” His words showed me he grew from this experience. It’s true that small failures can help us become 34 people. So, if you face a hard time, remember: it’s not the end. Take a deep breath, ask for help if you need it, and keep going. You might be surprised at how much you can 35 . 21．A．invitation B．opportunity C．announcement D．instruction 22．A．anxiously B．casually C．quietly D．quickly 23．A．success B．shame C．miss D．burden 24．A．wanted B．managed C．planned D．hoped 25．A．sure B．afraid C．glad D．surprised 26．A．half B．double C．all D．one 27．A．blamed B．excused C．praised D．helped 28．A．get through B．look for C．talk about D．think of 29．A．game B．story C．situation D．lesson 30．A．someone B．no one C．everyone D．anyone 31．A．stayed B．left C．forgot D．refused 32．A．happy B．defeated C．excited D．bored 33．A．trip B．exam C．competition D．party 34．A．kinder B．stronger C．smarter D．busier 35．A．learn B．teach C．share D．give 1. （共10小题；每小题1. 5分, 满分15分） For over 300 years, visitors to the Dai Temple at the foot of Taishan Mountain in Shandong Province have been able to find a natural place 36 (rest) under the huge ginkgo (银杏树) in the courtyard of the temple. 37 its long age, the 20-meter-tall tree still remains lush and vibrant, thanks in part to some major tree surgery 38 was performed just over a decade ago.

The air was filled with lively music and the excited cheers of students. Among the participants was Leo, a determined but not particularly athletic boy who had signed up for the challenging 1500-meter run. Though he wasn’t the fastest runner in his class, he had trained hard for this moment and made a promise to his friends that he would give it his all. As he stood at the starting line, Leo could feel his heart pounding like a drum. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves while focusing on the track ahead. The other runners looked confident and ready, which made him even more anxious. When the starting gun finally fired, all the competitors surged forward like arrows released from their bows. For the first lap, Leo managed to maintain a steady pace in the middle of the group. He could hear his classmates shouting encouragement from the stands, which gave him strength and motivation. However, as he entered the second lap, he began to feel the strain in his muscles and the burning in his lungs. The distance seemed to stretch endlessly before him. Then, just as he was rounding a curve, the runner beside him stumbled and accidentally bumped into him. Leo lost his balance completely and fell hard onto the rough track surface. A sharp pain immediately shot through his knee and hands. He watched helplessly as the other runners quickly passed him by, their figures growing smaller in the distance. For a moment, he just sat there, feeling the physical pain mixed with deep disappointment. The finish line now seemed like an impossible goal, and a tempting voice in his head suggested he should just quit and spare himself further embarrassment. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。 However, when looking up, Leo saw his classmates standing and cheering for him. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Slowly but steadily, Leo began to move forward again. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年高二上学期12月月考卷 英语·参考答案 第一部分 阅读理解（共两节, 满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2. 5分, 满分37. 5分） 1．B 2．D 3．A 4．B 5．A 6．C 7．C 8．D 9．B 10．D 11．A 12．B 13．A 14．C 15．A 第二节（共5小题, 每小题2. 5分, 共12. 5分） 16．A 17．G 18．D 19．E 20．C 第二部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分, 共15分） 21．B 22．A 23．C 24．B 25．A 26．B 27．A 28．A 29．C 30．C 31．A 32．B 33．C 34．B 35．A 第二节 （共10小题；每小题1. 5分, 满分15分） 36．to rest 37．Despite 38．which/that 39．left 40．a 41．originally 42．are 43．serving 44．preservation 45．have worked/have been working 第三部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 参考范文 Dear teachers, parents, and fellow students, Today marks a significant milestone in our lives.

Thank you for your listening. 第二节（满分25分） 【参考范文】 Paragraph 1 However, when looking up, Leo saw his classmates standing and cheering for him. Their voices growing even louder, he remembered the promise he had made to himself to never give up. Gritting his teeth, he used his trembling hands to push himself up from the rough track. His knee was still bleeding, but at that moment, he barely felt the physical pain. A new determination filled his heart, pushing him to continue. He knew that even if he had to walk, he would make it to the finish line. Every small step forward now felt like a victory in itself. Paragraph 2 Slowly but steadily, Leo began to move forward again. The crowd erupted in encouraging applause, recognizing his incredible courage. With each limping step, he grew stronger and more determined. He was now far behind all the other runners, but that no longer mattered to him. He was no longer running for a medal or for first place; he was running to prove himself that he could overcome any obstacles. When he finally crossed the finish line, the playground erupted in the loudest cheers of the day, the sun hugging him with the most glorious light. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
