Then I grew less trusting and quitted 9 any excuse.When the students at my new school didn't finish homework,I never asked why.Instead,I just sighed loudly and recorded a zero in the grade book.I soon gained the 10 I thought I wanted. One day,Anthony approached me."Could I talk to you?"he asked 11."I know you said no excuse,but I don't want you to think I'm 12 because I often come without my homework."He then looked up at me for the first time."It's just that...my dad moved out,and my mom works at night,so I have to look after my little brothers.Often,they cry a lot,and it's hard for me to_13” I was about to ask why he didn't tell me earlier when I suddenly realized why.So I changed the 14."Would it help if you stayed after school and worked on it before you go home?" He nodded hard. Anthony became the first student in my after-school study session.Several days later,Terrell joined him,followed by Sandy and Randy.Before long,I had a room full of students.Their stories were not amusing,but all very 15 The power company 16 our lights because we couldn't pay the bill.

ON TRACK Screenless fitness trackers are the new trend in wearable workout gear.The first new Fitbit since 2023 enters that market,which competitors like Whoop and Oura have muscled into in recent years.The Fitbit Air is considerably cheaper than those options,and integrates with Google's updated Health app.The tracker covers basic metrics like heart rate,blood oxygen and motion data during activity and sleep.All data is processed in the app,with an AI coach available for an additional $7.99 per month. Google Fitbit Air ￡84.99，store.google.com GOOD TIMING If time is running out to meaningfully slow down climate change,here's a watch to both monitor the countdown and also feel slightly better about it.Detrash is a British watchmaking brand using recycled ocean plastics,steel and fashion industry offcuts (to create its timepieces.The watches-from dress to dive styles-come in at under E500.Most lines are limited editions,so if you see one you like,time is probably running out. Detrash Midnight Flamingo' From f375,detrash.com PLASTIC PROGRESS Up to 500,000 tonnes of textile microplastics enter the oceans every year,much from washing machines.Now,effective microplastic filters are being introduced,including a 2025 Moonshot Prize winner.Developed by Bristol-based Matter,the Regen filter can be built 2028届10月英语月考试卷 4 into machines or bought separately and installed at home.The company claims 97%effectiveness. It needs emptying every six weeks,with no replacement filters required. Regen Microplastic Filter From f199,matter.industries 19.Which is one of the advantages of the Fitbit Air? A.It is more affordable. B.It works without any app C.It offers free AI coaching. D.It gathers more health data. 20.What do the Detrash watch and the Regen filter have in common? A.They are offered in limited editions B.They reduce environmental pollution. C.They are made from recycled plastics. D.They need regular replacement of parts 21.In which section of a magazine would you probably find this passage? A.Smart Living.B.Wearable Tech. C.User Reviews. D.Green Innovations. B In early 2018,I was training for the London Marathonthe first and only marathon I would ever run in my life.I had treated myself to an expensive fitness watch that tracked my time,pace and splits. At the end of my final training run-an exhausting 21 miles(34km)I threw myself down on the floor the moment I got home,only to see my watch had failed me.Twenty-one miles briefly flashed on the screen before it went blank and disappeared for ever.I screamed in pain.That tragic image of me crying on my living room floor pretty much sums up my relationship with exercise tracking technology. It can be a total joy to watch your data change on running apps as you get stronger and faster. I once got a kick out of it,but at some point it became a stick I used to punish myself.I would watch my pace,compare it with other people's or criticize myself for not doing it 30 seconds faster. I never really recognized exercise tracking as a problem.It seemed to me that tracking was the route to self-improvement,and the point was to improve,wasn't it?The point was to be better. In the past year,the concept of"being better"has taken on a different meaning.My mental health dropped,and things that were once easy such as brushing my teeth became unimaginably difficult.Being better stopped meaning getting faster or stronger.It meant taking care of myself 2028届10月英语月考试卷 and feeling some joy in a day.Once I started getting better,I reflected on what in my life made me happy and what did not.So,I stopped tracking my runs and simply deleted years'worth of data that was once very important to me and now meant nothing. What has become very clear to me since I quit tracking my runs is that I genuinely love doing them.I run around my local park with a silly little smile on my face.I love it so much.But I do not love running quickly.I do not like races.I do not want to be pushed to be faster.Things I notice about my runs now include:how my legs feel and how my mind feels afterwards-clear and focused.I notice dogs,the smell of the wild plants along the canal and the sunshine (OK, wind and rain)on my face. I am better.Or sometimes I am worse.But either way I'm slowly plodding along,and that's good enough. 22.The author cried after the final training run because she A.had to stop working out B.became physically worn out C.lost the data on the watch D.felt a sharp pain in the legs 23.The author used to view exercise tracking as .A.a fun hobby for enjoyment B.a strong need for recognition C.a method of escaping punishment D.a way of being a better runner 24.What does "being better"mean to the author now? A.Getting pleasure out of winning races. B.Being more focused on her life goal. C.Freeing herself from demanding tasks D.Improving her overall well-being. 25.What can we conclude from this passage? A.Adjustment brings happiness. B.Passion is the key to success. C.Sports contribute to happiness. D.Success equals self-improvement. C A machine can now not only beat you at chess,it can also outperform you in debate.Last week,in a public debate in San Francisco,a software program called Project Debater beat its human opponents,including Noa Ovadia,Israel's former national debating champion. Brilliant though it is,Project Debater has some weaknesses.It takes sentences from its library of documents and prebuilt arguments and strings them together.This can lead to the kinds of 2028届10月英语月考试卷 6 errors no human would make.Such wrinkles will no doubt be ironed out,yet they also point to a fundamental problem.As Kristian Hammond,professor of electrical engineering and computer science at Northwestern university,put it,"There's never a stage at which the system knows what it's talking about.” What Hammond is referring to is the question of meaning,and meaning is central to what distinguishes the least intelligent of humans from the most intelligent of machines.A computer works with symbols.Its program specifies a set of rules to transform one string of symbols into another.But it does not specify what those symbols mean.Indeed,to a computer,meaning is irrelevant.Humans,in thinking,talking,reading and writing,also work with symbols.But for humans,meaning is everything.When we communicate,we communicate meaning.What matters is not just the outside of a string of symbols,but the inside too,not just how they are arranged but what they mean. Meaning emerges through a process of social interaction,not of computation,interaction that shapes the content of the symbols in our heads.The rules that assign meaning lie not just inside our heads,but also outside,in society,in social memory,social conventions and social relations.It is this that distinguishes humans from machines.And that's why,however astonishing Project Debater may seem,the tradition that began with Socrates and Confucius will not end with artificial intelligence. 26.Why does the author mention Noa Ovadia in the first paragraph? A.To explain the use of a software program. B.To show the cleverness of Project Debater. C.To introduce the designer of Project Debater. D.To emphasize the fairness of the competition. 27.What does the underlined word"wrinkles"in Paragraph 2 refer to? A.Arguments. B.Doubts. C.Errors. D.Differences. 28.What is Project Debater unable to do according to Hammond? A.Create rules. B.Comprehend meaning. C.Talk fluently. D.Identify difficult words. (29.What can we learn from the last paragrapH? A.Social interaction is key to understanding symbols. B.The human brain has potential yet to be developed. C.Ancient philosophers set good examples for debaters. 2028届10月英语月考试卷 7 D.Artificial intelligence ensures humans a bright future. D Genetic variation is what allows a species to adapt as climate changes,new diseases arise,and novel enemies come on the scene.A slightly different genetic makeup can ensure at least some individuals will still do OK in times of crisis.But just as the number of species is declining worldwide,so,too,is the genetic diversity within many species. Until 2022,governments focused primarily on preventing species from disappearing.That year,however,when updating the United Nations's Convention on Biological Diversity treaty( )participating countries agreed to start to look at genetic diversity as well. The first step toward slowing the trend is understanding it.Conservation biologist Catherine Grueber from the University of Sydney and many colleagues gathered 882 papers written between 1985 and 2019 that tracked diversity changes within 628 individual species by analyzing their DNA atat least two time points.The team used complex statistical analyses to make the data comparable,enabling them to identify trends and correlate loss of genetic diversity with floods, habitat destruction,or other disturbances.They also tracked what happened in the face of various conservation measures,such as legally protecting a species or setting aside and protecting habitat. Two-thirds of the populations analyzed exhibited a decline in diversity,Grueber and her colleagues report.That included species already known to be at risk,but it also included more common species.The implication is that those species may be less able to bounce back than expected during environmental change,says Alicia Mastretta-Yanes,a conservation geneticist. Some conservation efforts,such as ecological restoration or reducing pests(),didn't help much,the analysis found.But certain actions did seem to help,such as efforts to expand and protect habitat,introduce new individuals to declining populations,or connect two isolated populations. "It was pretty impressive that they were able to track what human disturbances and conservation actions had done,"says Moises Alonso,an evolutionary geneticist who authored a preprint last year indicating that protecting existing habitat won't be enough to prevent genetic diversity losses for many species."We needed something like this,"he says. Conservation scientists emphasize the importance of continuing to monitor populations.But DNA methods aren't always practical,some note."It is relatively hard and expensive to measure genetic diversity directly,"Mastretta-Yanes says. To get around that,Mastretta-Yanes and others published a paper in Ecology Letters last year 2028届10月英语月考试卷 8 that used proxy (measures,such as population size,to evaluate genetic diversity in 919 species.The method,which only required about 3 hours of work per species,indicated that 58% of the species have populations that are too small to maintain their genetic diversity.The fact that these different approaches found declining diversity "makes both results more convincing," Mastretta-Yanes says."Finally,genetic diversity is getting the attention it deserves." 30.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A.Challenges of collecting DNA data for diversity research. B.Findings on genetic diversity changes over the past 30 years. C.Research methods applied to track genetic diversity changes. D.Impacts of human disturbances on diversity of different species. 31.What can be learned from Grueber's study? A.Habitat extension and population management preserve diversity. B.The diversity of common species tends to decline more severely. C.At-risk species better resist the impact of environmental changes. D.Ecosystem recovery and pest control drive population rise. 32.Mastretta-Yanes holds that DNA methods A.will soon be replaced by proxy measures B.lack practicality due to their costs and complexity C.may get in the way of monitoring species populations D.require a large population size to achieve high accuracy 33.What is the purpose of this passage? A.To identify more effective methods applied in gene research. B.To advocate for using DNA methods exclusively in conservation efforts. C.To warn people of the threat posed by environmental changes on species. D.To draw people's attention to effective measures against loss of diversity. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上 将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When you get in a car,you expect it will have functioning brakes.When you pick up medicine at the drugstore,you expect it won't be polluted.But it wasn't always like this.The 2028届10月英语月考试卷 safety of these products was terrible when they first came to market.It took much research and regulation to figure out how users can enjoy the benefits of these products without getting harmed. 34 Social media risks are everywhere.The dangers that algorithms designed to maximize attention represent to teens have become impossible to ignore.Other product design elements, often called"dark patterns,"designed to keep people using for longer,also appear to tip young users into social media overuse.35They say it's their users'fault for engaging with harmful content in the first place,even if those users are children or the content is financial trickery.They also claim to be defending free speech. 36 Under the Digital Services Act,which came into effect in Europe this year, platforms are required to take action to stop the spread of illegal content and can be fined up to 6 percent of their global incomes if they don't do so.If this law is enforced,maintaining the safety of their algorithms and networks will be the most financially sound decision for platforms to make. Despite these efforts,two things are clear.First,online safety problems are leading to real, offline suffering.Second,social media companies can't,or won't,solve these safety problems on their own.37 Even safety issues like cyberbullying that we thought were solved can pop right back up.As our society moves online to an ever-greater degree,the idea that anyone,even teens,can just"stay off social media"becomes less and less realistic.38) A.And those problems aren't going away. B.The current issues aren't really about offline suffering. C.Platforms already have systems to remove violent or harmful content. D.Similarly,social media needs product safety standards to keep users safe. E.It's time we should require social media to take safety seriously,for everyone's sake. F.Internet platforms,however,have shifted blame on the consumers whenever criticized. G.Some authorities are taking steps to hold social media platforms accountable for the content. V.阅读表达（共4小题；第39、40每小题2分，第41题3分，第42题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 What makes some people incapable of apologizing even when they're clearly in the wrong? People who cannot apologize often have deep feelings of low self-worth.When their delicate 2028届10月英语月考试卷 6 ego()cannot absorb the blow of admitting they were wrong,their defense-meehanisms-kick in they may place blame and even argue about basic facts to prevent the threat of having to lower themselves by offering an apology. Unfortunately,many of us mistakenly interpret these people's defensiveness as a sign of psychological strength.That's because outwardly they appear to be tough individuals who refuse to back down.But this doesn't show that they're strong-it shows that they're weak. Admitting that we're wrong is emotionally uncomfortable and painful to our sense of self.In order to take responsibility and apologize,our self-worth needs to be strong enough to absorb that discomfort.Indeed,if our self-worth is higher and more stable,we can tolerate the temporary discomfort that such an admission involves-without the walls around our ego falling down But if our self-worth is seemingly high but actually breakable,that discomfort can go through our defensive walls and score a direct hit to our ego.Indeed,the more fixed one's defense mechanisms are,the more delicate the ego they're protecting. The mistake we often make when faced with someone who is habitually incapable of apologizing is to become angry and try to win our argument with them.But the sad reality is that we can never win.In these situations,the best we can do is make our points as calmly and as convincingly as we can and then disengage from the argument when it becomes unproductive-like when they disagree with the facts,come up with silly excuses or turn to mean remarks. 39.Why can't some people apologize? 40.What do many people mistakenly think of a non-apologizer's defensiveness? 41.Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why. >When you are trying to win an argument with a non-apologizer,the best way is to express your anger and make your point as calmly and convincingly as possible. 42.In addition to what is mentioned in the passage,what else can you do if your friend refuses to apologize to you?(In about 40 words) V.语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，共15分） 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个恰当的单词，在 给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式作答。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 2028届10月英语月考试卷 11 A So the media is (43)(largc)responsiblc for giving people false ideas and unhealthy pictures,(44)lead to misbehavior against other people,and can create a dangerous cycle among individuals as they attempt to do the same or even (45)(bad) things to others.The sad reality is,no one is turning off their televisions or disconnecting from these influences.The only way programming of this sort will change is when people no longer buy into it,demand it,and watch it.
