M: I do a lot of shooting with my HD video camera--- all that takes up a lot of disk space. Anyway, this hard drive was only 300 dollars.

W: Don’t worry. Remember when you used to watch the neighbor’s kids on the weekends You can put that down.
M: Oh, really Cool! Now, the last section... Can I put you down as a personal reference
W: I’d be happy to do that, but I think they will want someone older than you, like a teacher or a parent... Why don’t you ask Mr. Nelson You were his favorite student.
M: Good idea.
10. Did you know that dragons have been popular legends in both Europe and Asia for over 3000 years There is a mention of a dragon in the Bible, but it is associated with evil and considered to be the devil. On the other hand, in China, the dragon is still a symbol of intelligence and power. But the image of the dragon in the East and West was influenced by hundreds of years of contact between Asia and Europe, and dragons came to have some similarities. It is believed that dragons were first imagined in the ancient Middle East.
In fact, there used to be a time when people even believed that they really existed. People used to think that dinosaur bones were dragon bones. It is not clear when people began to think that dragons could breathe fire, but both European and Asian dragons have been painted as having that capability. The Chinese dragon does not have legs or wings like the European dragon. The Russian dragon is often shown as having three heads. Dragons are still quite popular and can be seen in many movies and television programs.

21. B。细节理解题。根据 Eleanore 部分中的“... owner Roberta launched... Eleanore .. Named after Roberta's boat ...”可知Eleanore 这个名字来源于餐馆主人的船。
22. C。推理判断题。根据 Bertie's 部分中的“... the perfect place to celebrate parties and special group events.. up to 300 guests.”可知，Bertie’s最多可容纳300人就餐，是公司举办宴会的最佳选择。

B篇【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文，讲述了20岁的Edgar McGregor如何受到洛杉矶将举办2028年夏季奥运会的启发，开始了他的公园清理项目，并通过社交媒体Twitter记录和鼓励更多人参与，最终对环境做出了积极的贡献。
24. C。细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Edgar found out that Los Angeles would be the host of the 2028 Summer Olympic Games. Knowing the state of the national forest at the time, he feared that its grounds that were full of litter would make the city a ‘global embarrassment’, so he decided to make cleaning it up his new passion project. (Edgar发现洛杉矶将是2028年夏季奥运会的主办城市。考虑到当时国家森林的状况，他担心满是垃圾的地面会让这座城市成为一个“全球的尴尬”，所以他决定把清理垃圾作为自己的新爱好项目。”)可知，提到2028年夏季奥运会是为了介绍激发Edgar开始他的项目的原因。故选C。
25. A。推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Rain or shine. Edgar headed over to carry out his task.He worked through conditions like snowstorms, a record heat wave, and even a forest fire on the opposite side of the park. (无论晴雨，Edgar都会去执行他的任务。他在暴风雪中、创纪录的热浪中，甚至是在公园森林另一边大火的条件下工作。)”以及第五段“The more he did，the more treasures he discovered. In addition to a lot of old iPhones and cans, Edgar collected enough recyclables to earn around 30 dollars every few weeks, which he would donate to nonprofits. (他做的越多，发现的宝藏就越多。除了很多旧手机和罐头，Edgar还收集了足够的可回收物品，每几周就能赚30美元左右，再捐给非营利组织。)”可知，Edgar不管什么天气都坚持捡垃圾，并且会把通过捡垃圾赚到的钱捐给慈善机构。由此可以推理出Edgar是一个有决心的、关心他人的人。故选A。
26. C。细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Edgar plans to return to Eaton Canyon two or three times a week to keep up with the maintenance, but he is excited to start expanding his reach to new locations. ( Edgar 计划每周回 Eaton Canyon 两到三次以保持维护，但他也很兴奋地开始将他的影响力扩展到新的地点。)”可知，Edgar 的下一步计划是清理国家森林的其他部分。故选C。
27. A。主旨大意题。根据第一段“20-year-old Edgar McGregor decided to visit his local park，Eaton Canyon，day in and day out to pick up as much litter as he could fit in two buckets(提桶). Now, over 589 days and 19,00o Twitter followers later, he is more passionate than ever about his task to save the planet! (20岁的Edgar McGregor决定每天去当地的Eaton Canyon公园尽可能捡能装满两个提桶的垃圾。如今，589天过去了，Twitter上有了19000名粉丝，他对拯救地球的任务比以往任何时候都更有热情!)”可知，这篇文章主要介绍了一个环保英雄的故事。故选A。
C篇【语篇导读】本文是科普说明文。主要介绍了光污染的定义、造成的危害及防治建议等。
28. C。根据第二段可知，光污染是滥用各种人造光源而形成的，即不恰当地使用户外照明产品，可以是办公照明、汽车车灯、方位灯、路灯等。由此推断，光污染可以说是光技术的坏影响。
29. D。由第四段中的“It also leads to the release of greenhouse gases and global warming.”可知,光污染会造成更多温室气体的排放，从而引起全球变暖，D项符合文意。C项与文意相悖，A、B项无依据。
30. C。根据最后一段中的“Also, use only the required lighting equipment for both home and offices.”可知，在家里和办公室里只用必需的照明产品便可减少光污染，应选C项。
31. D。由文章最后两句，尤其是“Believe it or not, many people living in the urban areas cannot view clear sky and stars at night.”可知，光污染非常严重，据此推知光污染问题有待解决，应选D项，其他选项均与文章不符。
D篇【语篇导读】本文是一篇新闻报道。16岁的Kartik Pingle和18岁的Jasmine Wright两名高中生在距离地球约200光年的遥远太空中发现了四颗新行星，这使他们成为进行此类发现的“最年轻的天文学家”。文章主要介绍了他们发现这些行星的经过和对发现新行星的看法。
32. D 根据第二段“Together they focused on Tess Object of Interest (TOI) 1233, a near-by, bright sun-like star and here they found four planets rotating around the star. ‘We were looking to see changes in light over time,’ Pingle explained. ‘The idea is that if the planet transits the star, or passes in front of it, it would periodically cover up the star and decrease its brightness.’”可知，这两位学生是通过分析1233恒星亮度的变化来识别这四颗行星的。故选D。
33. D 根据第三段“While studying1233, Pingle and Wright had at least hoped to find one planet, but were overwhelmed with joy when a total of four were found.”可知，这次天文发现的独特之处在于一次性发现了不止一颗行星。故选D。
34. C 根据上文“We have long been studying planets beyond our solar system and with multi-planetary systems”以及下文“They are really blessed.”可知，Daylan认为这两位年轻学生真的很幸运，取得了成功。故选C。
35. A 根据最后一段“he said.‘I also think it is very beneficial to high school students, since they get exposure to cutting-edge research and this prepares them quickly for a research career.’”可知，这项研究对高中生有好处，可以使得他们的研究能力得到提升。故选A。
阅读七选五【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文，主要介绍了学校是否应该禁止使用手机。
36. C。根据下文“Some people doubt whether students are focused on their lessons or are instead distracted(使分心) by their devices, texting or even trying to cheat by taking photos of tests. There's also a chance they're playing games or watching videos on their phones instead of listening to the teacher. (有人对学生们是否专注于他们的课程或者是否被他们的移动设备分心表示怀疑，他们可能会发短信，甚至尝试通过偷拍测试内容来作弊。此外，还有人担忧学生们可能更喜欢沉迷于手机上的游戏或视频，而不是听老师的讲解。)”可知，下文都在描述学生的注意力被分散
了，所以空格处也应该描述手机很容易分散学生的注意力。C项“在上课期间学生很容易被他们的手机影响。”符合语境，故选择C项。
37. G。根据下文“For example，France has made a law that doesn't allow students under 15 to use mobile phones in school. (例如，法国已经实施了一项法律，禁止15岁以下的学生在学校使用手机。)”可知，空处说的是寻找监管学生使用手机的方法。G项“教育工作者正在努力找出控制学生使用手机的最佳方法。”符合语境，故选择G项。
38. F。根据上文“They are checking their phones, texting or going on social media.(他们一直查看手机，发消息，或者是使用社交媒体。)”可知，这里说的是学生使用手机的情况，F项“惊人地，一些学生每天花在手机上的时间甚至超过12个小时。”，选项中的even是针对上文情况的递进，符合语境，故选择F项。
39. D。根据下文“The teachers in these schools believe that students have grown up with mobile phones. (这些学校的老师认为学生们是伴随着手机长大的。)”可知，有的学校没有禁止学生上课使用手机，D项“然而，一些学校仍然没有选择禁止使用手机。”符合语境，故选择D项。
40. B。细节理解题。根据上文“Teachers think it's their job to teach students how to use mobile phones the right way as a learning tool. They also teach about how to use phones properly, including how to be responsible with social media and the internet. (教师们认为，教导学生如何正确地将手机作为一种学习工具使用是他们的职责。他们还教授如何恰当地使用手机，包括如何负责任地使用社交媒体和互联网。)”可知，这里表达的观点是支持使用手机的，B项“他们认为这是改变孩子教育的一部分”，选项中的they指代空格前的teachers，符合语境，故选择B项。
三、语言运用部分
完型填空
41. B 根据上文“Three years ago, her son brought home a drum set”可知，儿子带回一套鼓，点燃了她对音乐的兴趣。
42. A 尽管她年纪大了，她对打鼓展现出极大的决心和热情。
43. D 根据第一句背景以及下文内容可知，她成为了一个充满热情的鼓手。
44. B 根据下文“when she started learning her first song”可知，当她开始学习第一首歌的时候，她对演奏鼓的兴趣就开始产生了。
45. C 根据上文可知她原先只是一个农村妇女，所以当天儿子回家看到她在家积极打鼓时应该是非常吃惊的。
46. A 儿子看到她积极打鼓，所以建议她演奏一首歌。

语法填空
56. a。去当地的一家养老院。
57. located。过去分词作后置定语，nursing home与locate是被动关系。
58. whom。考查非限制性定语从句。在定语从句中，当关系代词指人，且位于介词之后时，用whom。
59. had taken。This/It was the first/second.. time后面的从句要用过去完成时。
60. to share。be eager to do sth
61. themselves。主语和宾语都是指the residents and the young volunteers，所以用反身代词。
62. company。company是accompany的名词形式。
63. with。that he made friends with是定语从句，修饰先行词the seniors，构成make friends with the seniors。
64. was concerned。I和concern之间是被动关系，根据后面的wouldn’t get along easily可以得知是过去担忧。
65. but/yet。和前面的分句之间是转折关系。

Dear Jeremy,
Hearing that you are addicted to playing computer games, I felt very worried. To begin with, it will make you waste too much valuable time which should be spent on your study. In addition, playing computer games for a long time will do harm to your health, especially to your eyes. Worse still, some games are full of violence, which will be harmful to your mental health.
Therefore, I strongly hope that you can break away from it. The earlier, the better. You can read more good books, take more exercise or participate in some social activities to broaden your horizons.
I hope the advice above will be helpful to you. Looking forward to your good news.
Yours,
Li Hua

At first, Kayla felt disappointed at her parents’ plan for the holiday. How eagerly she wanted to go out to play with her friends! Despite her great dissatisfaction, she had no choice but to do as arranged. First, Kayla was told to wash the breakfast dishes. After that, she was asked to give their puppy a bath, which was a big annoyance to her. She pursed her lips and muttered, “This is the last thing I want to do.” She went into the bathroom reluctantly, picked up the brush and began the work.
But things began to change as she was doing the chores. While brushing the puppy, she found it was a lot of fun with so many soap bubbles. Then followed the task with the yard where Kayla collected sticks. She supposed the small sticks basketballs, and shot them into a large trash can. Soon the work was done. Kayla was so proud to see how orderly the yard looked. The lemonade tasted sweeter after a hard day of work.2024-2025学年上学期高一年级12月份月考试卷

20-year-old Edgar McGregor decided to visit his local park, Eaton Canyon, day in and day out to pick up as much litter as he could fit in two buckets(提桶). Now, over 589 days and 19,000 Twitter followers later, he is more passionate than ever about his task to save the planet!

We all have an idea about the common types of environmental problems. However, light pollution may be a new term to many of us. But, the fact is, it does affect mankind, other living forms and the environment as a whole.
What is light pollution It presents all forms of misused man-made light. The obvious cause of light pollution is the use of outdoor lighting products improperly. It can be office lighting, car headlights, station lights. streetlights and many more.
Light pollution is harmful to both animals and plants. Upon studies, it is found that obvious effects are observed in the behaviour of nocturnal animals. Needless to mention, bright light at night makes it difficult for these animals to hunt, wander and perform their regular activities. Light pollution is directly or indirectly responsible for causing several diseases. Its effects are related to disturbance in the physical rhythm. It contributes to risks of developing cancerous cells. So, it’s nothing less than a threat to human health.
You have already seen the negative effects of light pollution on animals and human health. Apart from this, the actual cost of misused light is about millions of dollars every year. It also leads to the release of greenhouse gases and global warming. After all, fuels are used for producing electricity.
While outdoor lighting and using man-made lighting products are part of our modern lifestyle, some simple ways will surely help in reducing light pollution. For example, while installing outdoor lighting, make sure that they are pointed downwards. Also, use only the required lighting equipment for both home and offices. Believe it or not, many people living in the urban areas cannot view clear sky and stars at night. Let’s contribute our part in reducing the pollution.
28. What can we learn about light pollution
A. It has no effect on plants.
B. It contributes to most cancers.
C. It is a negative fruit of light technology.
D. It affects animals’ normal activities in the daytime.
29. How does light pollution affect the climate
A. It reduces temperatures by days and makes nights warmer.
B. It creates more clouds over parts of the Earth.
C. It stops the release of greenhouse gases.
D. It causes global temperatures to go up.
30. How can we contribute our part in reducing light pollution
A. Forbidding the use of outdoor lighting.
B. Using clean energy to produce electricity.

Two high school students have identified four new planets in distant space about 200 light years from the earth, making them “ the youngest astronomers” to make such a discovery.
Kartik Pingle, 16, and Jasmine Wright, 18, who both attended schools in Massachusetts, participated in the Student Research Mentoring Program (SRMP). With the help of Tansu Daylan, an MIT doctor for Astrophysics and Space Research, the students studied and analyzed data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS ). Together they focused on Tess Object of Interest (TOI) 1233, a nearby, bright sun-like star and here they found four planets rotating(旋转) around the star. “We were looking to see changes in light over time,” Pingle explained. “The idea is that if the planet transits(经过) the star, or passes in front of it, it would periodically cover up the star and decrease its brightness.”
While studying 1233, Pingle and Wright had at least hoped to find one planet, but were overwhelmed with joy when a total of four were found. “I was very excited and very shocked.” Wright said. “We knew this was the goal of Daylan’s research, but to actually find a multi-planetary system, and be part of the discovering team, was really cool.”
Three of the newly discovered planets are considered as “sub-Neptunes”, which are gaseous(气态的), but smaller than the Neptune that lives in our solar system.
“We have long been studying planets beyond our solar system and with multi-planetary systems, the two young students are kind of hitting the jackpot. They are really blessed.” Daylan said. “The planets originated from the same disk of matter around the same star, but they ended up being different planets with different atmospheres and different climates due to their different orbits.”
Daylan added that it was a “win-win” to work with Pingle and Wright on the study. “As a researcher, I really enjoy interacting with young brains that are open to experimentation and learning and have minimal prejudice,” he said. “I also think it is very beneficial to high school students, since they get exposure to cutting-edge research and this prepares them quickly for a research career.”
32. How did the two students identify the four planets
A. By interacting with other young talented brains.
B. By helping professor Tansu Daylan with the data.
C. By studying Neptune that lives in our solar system.
D. By analyzing the change of brightness of star 1233.
33. What can we learn about the discovery
A. It was made with an creative approach.
B. It was meant to be made by Tansu Daylan.
C. It was independently made by two young students.
D. It found more than one planet at a time by two young students.
34. What does the underlined phrase “hitting the jackpot” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Making a discovery difficultly. B. Achieving the goal easily.
C. Succeeding in something luckily. D. Performing a task carefully.
35. According to the text, what benefits does the study bring
A. It equips future astronomers with better researching abilities.
B. It arouses students’ interest in exploring the unknown universe.
C. It provides more viewpoints and thus promotes more discoveries.
D. It allows the scientists to work with young people without prejudice.

Mobile Phones in Education: A Double-Edged Sword
The widespread use of mobile phones has changed how we communicate daily, but their place in education is still a matter of debate. While some think of them as a trouble, others feel they can serve as a useful tool for learning. 36 Some people doubt whether students are focused on their lessons or are instead distracted(使分心) by their devices, texting or even trying to cheat by taking photos of tests. There’s also a chance they’re playing games or watching videos on their phones instead of listening to the teacher.
37 For example, France has made a law that doesn’t allow students under 15 to use mobile phones in school. The problem of students using mobile phones in class is a real worry. They are checking their phones, texting or going on social media. 38 Therefore, to deal with the problem, some schools have started using tech solutions. Schools have begun to use special boxes to keep students’ phones during school time, so they won’t be tempted to use them.
The idea of limiting mobile phone use isn’t just happening in a few schools. Over 30 schools in France have put some kind of limit on mobile phone use this year or last year, with different areas making their own rules about phones.
39 The teachers in these schools believe that students have grown up with mobile phones. Teachers think it’s their job to teach students how to use mobile phones the right way as a learning tool. They also teach about how to use phones properly, including how to be responsible with social media and the Internet. 40 In their eye, the technology has already existed, so schools should use it to help students and not fear it.
A. It’s apparent that mobile phones can destroy a child.
B. They regard it as part of changing education for children.
C. Students are often distracted by their mobile phones during class time.
D. However, a number of schools have decided against a complete ban on mobile phones.
E. In fact, with proper guidance. mobile phones can boost the learning experience.
F. Surprisingly, some students even devote up to 12 hours daily to their mobile phones.
G. Educators are exploring the most effective ways to monitor student mobile phone usage.

Holidays are not necessarily for fun or rest. Doing something meaningful can also gain special pleasure. When the final bell rang, the students were reminded that there was no school on Monday—the Labor Day. “Enjoy your extra day off,” said the teacher to her class. An extra day of fun suited Kayla just fine. She loved breaks. She wanted to go out to play with her friends. When the school bus dropped Kayla off, she ran into the house happily.
“How was school, Kayla ” asked her mom.
“It was great, Mom. I am excited about no school on Monday.”
“You just started back to school two weeks ago. Already in need of a break, huh ” asked Kayla’s mom with a laugh. Kayla slept in the next morning. Saturday was her favorite day of the week. It rained most of the day, so Kayla enjoyed playing video games inside. On Sunday, her friends came over and they played basketball for several hours.
Then it was Labor Day, you know, the extra day off that Kayla was so looking forward to. But Kayla was awakened early that morning by her dad. He told Kayla that in honor of Labor Day, the family would be cleaning both inside and outside the house. Kayla couldn’t believe it. This was a holiday. A day when she was supposed to be enjoying freshly squeezed lemonade while playing in her tree house. As Kayla wiped her eyes, she began to wonder if this was just a bad dream.
“Kayla, your breakfast is ready. We have a lot of work to do today. Let’s get a move on,” said Kayla’s mom. As she sat down at the kitchen table, Kayla asked her parents, “Are you serious about working today Isn’t Labor Day a holiday ”
“Yes, Kayla. It is,” replied her dad. “But your mom and I thought working hard today would make you appreciate why Labor Day was observed in the first place.”
