She collects the butterfly eggs from the milkweed plants — the only food for these delicate creatures — alongside the highways. Each time she goes on her journey to the highways, she hopes these little eggs, which are as precious as hidden treasures, will hatch (孵化) into many beautiful creatures. They will slowly make the group which is getting smaller gradually breathe new life. But reality destroyed her hopes last year. Instead of being greeted by the green milkweed plants, she was met with the desolate sight of mowed stubs (修剪过的草茬) and destroyed eggs. The milkweed plants had been cut down, and all left were short stubs. She felt a deep sense of loss. “Is there really no hope for these delicate, flying creatures?” she whispered to herself, her heart as heavy as a big piece of lead. Even as pain consumed her, Robyn remained determined. She teamed up with other nature lovers. They reached out to Frank Coniglio, the city’s director of highway maintenance, urging him to cut the butterflies a break. At first, Frank was doubtful. He thought, “How important can this be? What difference will it make? It’s just some butterflies and plants.” But as Robyn and her friends poured out their worries, and kept explaining the importance of the issue, Frank began to understand. He finally realised, “What happens to the butterflies is going to happen to us, isn’t it?”, as if a light bulb had suddenly switched on in his mind. Frank went to work on studying more about monarch butterflies, and finally he supported their cause, and took decisive action. He stopped mowing in certain areas, drawing an invisible line of protection. So far, around 20 patches of milkweed plants, like oases in the urban desert, have been protected across the city. “We’re making a real difference,” Frank said proudly. Thanks to their combined efforts, the monarch butterflies now have a brighter future, and the city’s ecosystem is on the path to positive transformation. 24. As a nature advocate, Robyn Elman ________. A. grows some milkweed in her backyard B. raises butterflies alongside the highway C. collects butterfly eggs and hatches them D. studies milkweed and proves them valuable 25. How did Robyn feel upon seeing the mowed stubs? A. Upset and disappointed. B. Angry and annoyed. C. Embarrassed and ashamed. D. Terrified and confused. 26 What did Frank do to help protect the monarch butterflies? A. He raised the awareness of the public. B. He studied the local natural ecosystem. C. He protected milkweed in certain areas. D. He moved the butterflies to a safe place. 27. What can we conclude from this passage? A. Wildlife conservation takes a back seat to urban development. B. Government policies play a main role in wildlife conservation. C. The damage of habitats has long-term impact on the ecosystem. D. Commitment and cooperation cause positive ecological outcomes. C The Canadian philosopher Charles Taylor has described our times as the “Age of Authenticity,” meaning an era when people are willing to publicize their secrets and indulge (放纵) their urges, even if such a drive for personal truth crosses traditional boundaries of self-control. Once, this type of exhibitionism was the preserve of a few celebrities, but now anybody can get in on the act, such as the self-disclosure on social media. But the “Age of Authenticity” does not seem to have made us happier. Quite the reverse. One possible explanation for this paradox is that the lowering of self-control is an understandable but significant error in our collective thinking, and it takes us in exactly the wrong direction where happiness is concerned. Understanding how this happened can help you be happier in your own life. From a psychological perspective, two brain systems govern self-management: the behavioral activation system, which drives reward-seeking, and the behavioral inhibition system, which avoids punishment. When activation rises or inhibition falls, self-control decreases; when inhibition rises or activation falls, self-control increases. So which combination makes us happier overall — more of the behavioral activation system and less of the behavioral inhibition system, or the other way around? The answer is both. A team of eight psychologists showed this in a 2018 study on self-control in the Journal of Personality. The team fielded a series of undergraduate surveys. The researchers found that low levels of self-control were associated with the lowest levels of subjective well-being. Moving to a higher level of self-control increased the undergraduates’ happiness. Interestingly, the researchers also discovered a complete lack of self-control was associated with slightly higher momentary well-being, which might lead to negative social consequences for others. For your own well-being, and everyone’s, increasing self-control might be much better than lowering it. If you want to increase your self-control, be aware of the forces around you that may lower the activity of the inhibition system in your brain and thus push you toward lower self-control, such as anonymity (匿名), and social power. If you’re seeking to boost your self-control, shun any social media forum where your identity is hidden. If you possess an ability to publish material that many other people will read, see, or hear, you should ask yourself whether your desire to attract and retain an audience is leading you to abandon your privacy. Aristotle once wrote that “virtues are formed in a man by his doing the actions.” One important choice we have is to behave with either controlled grace or uncontrolled entitlement. Neither option is in reality more authentic than the other because, in becoming who we are through our choices, both paths are equally authentic; both embody who we’ve chosen to be as people. But only one path, that of controlled grace, leads to greater happiness for one and all. 28. “Age of Authenticity” means ______. A. a period when people exercise less self-control B. an era characterized by a return to traditional values C. a time when privacy of personal truth is encouraged D. an age where crossing traditional boundaries are urged 29. From the passage, we learn that ______. A. enhancing inhibition may improve long-term well-being B. increased activation leads to higher momentary happiness C. activation promotes reward-seeking by avoiding punishment D. lowering self-management triggers negative social consequences 30. People can improve self-control by ______. A maintaining privacy by reducing online presence B. employing social power to gain popularity online C. embracing anonymity when browsing public forums D. taking responsibility for what they post on social media 第三部分：书面表达（20分） 31. 假设你是红星中学高三学生李华，你的学校打算为外国留学生举办世界非物质文化遗产展示周（World Intangible(无形的，非物质的) Cultural Heritage Exhibition Week）活动，需要招募志愿者去介绍中国非物质文化遗产，你写信申请参加。 内容包括：1. 你对此次活动的看法；2. 陈述申请担任志愿者的理由。 注意： 1.词数 100 左右； 2.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Sir/Madam, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 北京市顺义牛栏山第一中学2025—2026学年 高二上学期1月月考英语试卷 共100分。考试时长60分钟。 第一部分：知识运用（共两节，40分） 第一节（共10小题；每小题2分，共20分） 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。 From the time he learned to walk, Imran Nuri heard from his parents time and time again, “You must strive to be the best at everything.” And Nuri followed their advice and graduated with honors from Ohio State University, then moved to Chicago, where he ____1____ a prime job as a national marketing director for a company.

Programmed to mimic human movements with precision, the robots rocked their bodies and even cracked jokes with their human counterparts, ____12____ (create) a perfect blend of tradition and innovation. The performance ended with a group bow, leaving viewers both entertained and inspired. Rarely do people know that the engineers ____13____ (prepare) the show for more than 3 months before the gala. In conclusion, tradition evolves, bridging generations through creativity. 【答案】11. equipped 12. creating 13. had prepared 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。今年春晚，配备先进技术的人形机器人与人类共演“二人转”，展现传统与创新融合，工程师为此筹备超三月。 【11题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这些人形机器人配备了先进的传感器和人工智能系统，与人类艺术家合作呈现了一场生动的“二人转” 表演，这是一种以幽默和节奏著称的中国东北民间舞蹈。此空考查非谓语，The humanoid machines与equip之间是被动关系，即机器人被配备先进的传感器和人工智能系统，所以应用过去分词作后置定语。故填equipped。 【12题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这些机器人经过编程可以精确模仿人类动作，它们摇摆着身体，甚至和人类搭档开玩笑，创造出传统与创新的完美融合。此空考查非谓语，the robots rocked their bodies and even cracked jokes with their human counterparts这一动作与create a perfect blend of tradition and innovation之间是主动关系，作伴随状语。故填creating。 【13题详解】 考查时态。句意：很少有人知道，工程师们在春晚之前已经为这个节目准备了三个多月。这里考查谓语动词，the engineers与prepare为主动关系，再根据before the gala可知，“准备节目”这一动作发生在“春晚”之前，而“春晚”是已发生的情况，所以“准备节目”是过去的过去，应用过去完成时，结构为“had + 过去分词”。故填had prepared。 B 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容或括号内所给词的恰当形式填空。 O. Henry, ____14____ real name was William Sydney Porter, was a celebrated American short-story writer known for his clever plots and unexpected twists. Born in 1862, he lived a life as dramatic as his tales, working various jobs before becoming a full-time writer. ____15____ made his stories unforgettable was their heartwarming humor and ironic endings, which often revealed deeper truths about human nature. Having spent years in prison for embezzlement(贪污罪), O. Henry turned his experiences into vivid storytelling, blending wit with emotional ____16____ (deep). That his stories remain widely read today shows how timeless themes like kindness and resilience connect readers across generations. O. Henry’s legacy lies in his ability ____17____ (turn) simple moments into unforgettable lessons, leaving audiences both moved and astonished. 【答案】14. whose 15. What 16. depth 17. to turn 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。欧・亨利本名威廉・西德尼・波特，其短篇小说以巧妙情节和意外结局闻名，经历丰富，作品主题永恒、影响深远。 【14题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：欧・亨利，他的真名是威廉・西德尼・波特，是一位著名的美国短篇小说家，以其巧妙的情节和出人意料的结局而闻名。此空考查非限制性定语从句，先行词为O.Henry，在后面的定语从句“_____ real name was William Sydney Porter”中，real name与O.Henry是所属关系，即“他的真名”，所以用关系代词whose引导。故填whose。 【15题详解】 考查主语从句。句意：让他的故事令人难忘的是其暖心的幽默和具有讽刺意味的结局，这些常常揭示出关于人性的深刻真理。“_____ made his stories unforgettable”是主语从句，在这个从句中，缺少主语，表示“……的东西/事情”，所以用连接代词what引导，且句首时首字母应大写。故填What。 【16题详解】 考查名词。句意：欧・亨利因贪污在监狱中度过了数年，他将自己的经历融入生动的故事讲述中，将机智与情感深度相结合。emotional是形容词，修饰名词，deep的名词形式为depth，意为“深度”，为不可数名词。故填depth。 【17题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：欧・亨利的遗产在于他有能力将简单的瞬间变成难忘的教训，让读者既感动又惊讶。ability后常接动词不定式作后置定语，the ability to do sth.，表示“做某事的能力”，所以这里用to turn。故填to turn。 C 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容或括号内所给词的恰当形式填空。 The biological clock, an internal system that regulates our sleep-wake cycle, plays a vital role in maintaining physical and mental health. Known as circadian rhythms, these 24-hour cycles____18____ (control) by a part of the brain which responds to light and darkness. However, disrupting these rhythms can lead to fatigue, weakened immunity, and even mood disorders. When exposed to artificial light at night, especially from screens, our bodies produce less melatonin, a hormone that promotes sleep. This explains why staying up late ____19____ (leave) us feeling exhausted. To optimize health, experts suggest establishing consistent routines, such as waking up at the same time daily and avoiding bright lights before bed. By respecting our biological clock, we can live in harmony ____20____ nature’s rhythm. 【答案】18. are controlled 19. leaves 20. with 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。生物钟调节睡眠周期，对身心健康至关重要，打乱节律有害，遵循它可与自然节奏和谐相处。 【18题详解】 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：这些被称为昼夜节律的24小时周期是由大脑中对光线和黑暗做出反应的一部分控制的。此空考查谓语动词。句子描述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时，these 24-hour cycles与control之间是被动关系，即周期被控制，所以用被动语态，且主语these 24-hour cycles是复数。故填are controlled。 【19题详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：这就解释了为什么熬夜会让我们感到疲惫。此空考查谓语动词，主语staying up late与leave为主动关系，句子描述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时；staying up late是动名词短语作主语，谓语动词用单数形式。故填leaves。 【20题详解】 考查固定搭配。句意：通过尊重我们的生物钟，我们可以与自然的节奏和谐相处。这里考查in harmony with，是固定搭配，意为“与……和谐相处”。故填with。 第二部分：阅读理解（共10小题；每小题4分，共40分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。 A FREE FAMILY DAY PASS National Trust Looking for the perfect day out this March?

She collects the butterfly eggs from the milkweed plants — the only food for these delicate creatures — alongside the highways. Each time she goes on her journey to the highways, she hopes these little eggs, which are as precious as hidden treasures, will hatch (孵化) into many beautiful creatures. They will slowly make the group which is getting smaller gradually breathe new life. But reality destroyed her hopes last year. Instead of being greeted by the green milkweed plants, she was met with the desolate sight of mowed stubs (修剪过的草茬) and destroyed eggs. The milkweed plants had been cut down, and all left were short stubs. She felt a deep sense of loss. “Is there really no hope for these delicate, flying creatures?” she whispered to herself, her heart as heavy as a big piece of lead. Even as pain consumed her, Robyn remained determined. She teamed up with other nature lovers. They reached out to Frank Coniglio, the city’s director of highway maintenance, urging him to cut the butterflies a break. At first, Frank was doubtful. He thought, “How important can this be? What difference will it make? It’s just some butterflies and plants.” But as Robyn and her friends poured out their worries, and kept explaining the importance of the issue, Frank began to understand. He finally realised, “What happens to the butterflies is going to happen to us, isn’t it?”, as if a light bulb had suddenly switched on in his mind. Frank went to work on studying more about monarch butterflies, and finally he supported their cause, and took decisive action. He stopped mowing in certain areas, drawing an invisible line of protection. So far, around 20 patches of milkweed plants, like oases in the urban desert, have been protected across the city. “We’re making a real difference,” Frank said proudly. Thanks to their combined efforts the monarch butterflies now have a brighter future, and the city’s ecosystem is on the path to positive transformation. 24. As a nature advocate, Robyn Elman ________. A. grows some milkweed in her backyard B. raises butterflies alongside the highway C. collects butterfly eggs and hatches them D. studies milkweed and proves them valuable 25. How did Robyn feel upon seeing the mowed stubs? A. Upset and disappointed. B. Angry and annoyed. C. Embarrassed and ashamed. D. Terrified and confused. 26. What did Frank do to help protect the monarch butterflies? A. He raised the awareness of the public. B. He studied the local natural ecosystem. C. He protected milkweed in certain areas. D. He moved the butterflies to a safe place. 27. What can we conclude from this passage? A. Wildlife conservation takes a back seat to urban development. B. Government policies play a main role in wildlife conservation. C. The damage of habitats has long-term impact on the ecosystem. D. Commitment and cooperation cause positive ecological outcomes. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了自然倡导者Robyn Elman和其他自然爱好者共同努力保护帝王蝶的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“She collects the butterfly eggs from the milkweed plants — the only food for these delicate creatures — alongside the highways. Each time she goes on her journey to the highways, she hopes these little eggs, which are as precious as hidden treasures, will hatch (孵化) into many beautiful creatures.(她沿着公路收集马利筋植物上的帝王蝶卵，而这些马利筋植物是这些脆弱生物唯一的食物来源。每次她踏上前往公路的旅程时，她都希望这些如同隐藏珍宝般珍贵的卵能够孵化出许多美丽的生物)”可知，Robyn Elman作为自然倡导者，会收集帝王蝶的卵并孵化它们。故选C。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“But reality destroyed her hopes last year. Instead of being greeted by the green milkweed plants, she was met with the desolate sight of mowed stubs (修剪过的草茬) and destroyed eggs. The milkweed plants had been cut down, and all left were short stubs. She felt a deep sense of loss. ‘Is there really no hope for these delicate, flying creatures?’ she whispered to herself, her heart as heavy as a big piece of lead.(但去年，现实粉碎了她的希望。她没有看到绿意盎然的马利筋植物，映入眼帘的却是修剪过的草茬和被毁的卵的荒凉景象。马利筋植物被砍倒了，只剩下短短的草茬。她感到深深的失落。“这些脆弱的飞行生物真的没有希望了吗？”她自言自语道，心情沉重得如同一块大石头)”可知，现实摧毁了她的希望，看到被修剪过的草茬和被毁坏的卵，她有一种深深的失落感，心里像铅块一样沉重，由此可推断她感到沮丧和失望。故选A。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Frank went to work on studying more about monarch butterflies, and finally he supported their cause, and took decisive action. He stopped mowing in certain areas, drawing an invisible line of protection. So far, around 20 patches of milkweed plants, like oases in the urban desert, have been protected across the city.(弗兰克开始着手深入研究帝王蝶，最终他支持了保护帝王蝶的事业，并采取了果断行动。他停止了在某些区域的修剪工作，划出了一条无形的保护线。到目前为止，全市已有大约20块马利筋植物区域得到了保护，宛如城市沙漠中的绿洲)”可知，Frank通过在某些地区停止修剪，保护了马利筋植物，以此来帮助保护帝王蝶。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“Thanks to their combined efforts, the monarch butterflies now have a brighter future, and the city’s ecosystem is on the path to positive transformation.(由于他们的共同努力，帝王蝶现在有了更光明的未来，而城市的生态系统也正朝着积极转变的方向迈进)”可知，Robyn和其他自然爱好者通过努力和合作，成功保护了帝王蝶的栖息地，使帝王蝶有了更光明的未来。由此可知，从文中我们可以总结到“投入和合作能带来积极的生态成果”。故选D。 C The Canadian philosopher Charles Taylor has described our times as the “Age of Authenticity,” meaning an era when people are willing to publicize their secrets and indulge (放纵) their urges, even if such a drive for personal truth crosses traditional boundaries of self-control. Once, this type of exhibitionism was the preserve of a few celebrities, but now anybody can get in on the act, such as the self-disclosure on social media. But the “Age of Authenticity” does not seem to have made us happier. Quite the reverse. One possible explanation for this paradox is that the lowering of self-control is an understandable but significant error in our collective thinking, and it takes us in exactly the wrong direction where happiness is concerned. Understanding how this happened can help you be happier in your own life. From a psychological perspective, two brain systems govern self-management: the behavioral activation system, which drives reward-seeking, and the behavioral inhibition system, which avoids punishment. When activation rises or inhibition falls, self-control decreases; when inhibition rises or activation falls, self-control increases. So which combination makes us happier overall — more of the behavioral activation system and less of the behavioral inhibition system, or the other way around? The answer is both. A team of eight psychologists showed this in a 2018 study on self-control in the Journal of Personality. The team fielded a series of undergraduate surveys. The researchers found that low levels of self-control were associated with the lowest levels of subjective well-being. Moving to a higher level of self-control increased the undergraduates’ happiness. Interestingly, the researchers also discovered a complete lack of self-control was associated with slightly higher momentary well-being, which might lead to negative social consequences for others. For your own well-being, and everyone’s, increasing self-control might be much better than lowering it. If you want to increase your self-control, be aware of the forces around you that may lower the activity of the inhibition system in your brain and thus push you toward lower self-control, such as anonymity (匿名), and social power. If you’re seeking to boost your self-control, shun any social media forum where your identity is hidden. If you possess an ability to publish material that many other people will read, see, or hear, you should ask yourself whether your desire to attract and retain an audience is leading you to abandon your privacy. Aristotle once wrote that “virtues are formed in a man by his doing the actions.” One important choice we have is to behave with either controlled grace or uncontrolled entitlement. Neither option is in reality more authentic than the other because, in becoming who we are through our choices, both paths are equally authentic; both embody who we’ve chosen to be as people. But only one path, that of controlled grace, leads to greater happiness for one and all. 28. “Age of Authenticity” means ______. A. a period when people exercise less self-control B. an era characterized by a return to traditional values C. a time when privacy of personal truth is encouraged D. an age where crossing traditional boundaries are urged 29. From the passage, we learn that ______. A. enhancing inhibition may improve long-term well-being B. increased activation leads to higher momentary happiness C. activation promotes reward-seeking by avoiding punishment D. lowering self-management triggers negative social consequences 30. People can improve self-control by ______. A. maintaining privacy by reducing online presence B. employing social power to gain popularity online C. embracing anonymity when browsing public forums D. taking responsibility for what they post on social media 【答案】28. A 29. A 30. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了加拿大哲学家提出“本真时代”人们少自控，研究表明提升自控力能增幸福感，呼吁以自控获更多快乐。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The Canadian philosopher Charles Taylor has described our times as the “Age of Authenticity,” meaning an era when people are willing to publicize their secrets and indulge (放纵) their urges, even if such a drive for personal truth crosses traditional boundaries of self-control.(加拿大哲学家查尔斯·泰勒将我们所处的时代描述为“本真时代”，意指这是一个人们愿意公开自己的秘密、放纵自己的欲望的时代，即便这种追求个人真实性的冲动会突破传统的自我控制界限)”可知，“本真时代”指人们减少自控、放纵冲动的时期。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“when inhibition rises or activation falls, self-control increases(当抑制上升或激活下降时，自我控制能力就会增强)”和第四段“The researchers found that low levels of self-control were associated with the lowest levels of subjective well-being. Moving to a higher level of self-control increased the undergraduates’ happiness.(研究人员发现，自我控制能力较弱的人主观幸福感最低。而提高自我控制能力则能提升大学生的幸福感)”可知，增强抑制能力（自我控制能力就会增强）可能会提升长期的幸福感。故选A。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“If you’re seeking to boost your self-control, shun any social media forum where your identity is hidden. If you possess an ability to publish material that many other people will read, see, or hear, you should ask yourself whether your desire to attract and retain an audience is leading you to abandon your privacy.(如果你想提升自我控制能力，就远离那些隐藏个人身份的社交媒体平台。如果你有能力发布他人会阅读、看到或听到的内容，你应该问问自己，你吸引并留住受众的欲望是否导致你放弃了个人隐私)”可知，人们可以通过对自己在社交媒体上发布的内容负责来增强自我控制能力。故选D。 第三部分：书面表达（20分） 31. 假设你是红星中学高三学生李华，你的学校打算为外国留学生举办世界非物质文化遗产展示周（World Intangible(无形的，非物质的) Cultural Heritage Exhibition Week）活动，需要招募志愿者去介绍中国非物质文化遗产，你写信申请参加。 内容包括：1. 你对此次活动的看法；2. 陈述申请担任志愿者的理由。 注意： 1.词数 100 左右； 2.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Sir/Madam, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Sir/Madam, Learning that volunteers are wanted for the upcoming World Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition Week, I’m writing to apply for the position.
