When it was time to sit down and relax, Donna pulled out her red metal chair from her garage (车库), and I sat on an overturned plastic bucket (桶). It was fun to catch up on the news that we had missed during the long winter indoors. However, over the next few days, it turned out that we needed more than a chair and a bucket which were not quite comfortable. Donna decided we needed a bench. After dismissi ng unsuitable options from local stores, she found a perfect one online. The next day it arrived. Excitedly, she opened the box and started putting it together. We proudly high-fived each other as the pieces joined up and the bench started to look like one. After a few minutes’ assistance from a neighbour, it was complete. What's more, it was the perfect fit for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats. Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk,“What do you do on that bench?” Quick-thinking Donna called back,“It's our‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved—— after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a“Decision-Making Bench”; another time, whenDonna was caught napping, she insisted she was“meditating (冥想)“, adding yet another name. Last fall, with the temperature falling, we came to the end of sitting outdoors. We were faced with one problem—— what to do about it in the winter? Well, we sat down and thought and meditated and decided to put it in Donna's garage for the winter. When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots, and some flat, old boxes. But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome“The Bench” back into our lives. 24. Why did Donna decide to replace the chair and bucket? A. To lighten the carrying load. B. To attract more neighbours. C. To get better seating for chats. D. To adapt to warmer weather. 25. How did the bench get its various names? A. From items placed on it. B. From seasonal discussions. 高2028届10月月考英语试题 第 3 页共 8 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 C. From users’ activities on it. D. From Donna's creative ideas. 26. Why are pots and boxes mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To suggest the flowers would soon be planted. B. To show the bench was not serving its purpose. C. To describe the bench's practical use in winter. D. To explain why the bench needed winter storage. 27. Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage? A. Having fun with neighbors. B. Bonding through a bench. C. Cherishing the time together. D. Varying activities in the season. C If your day starts with a harsh alarm sound, you might want to rethink your wake-up routine.New research from the University of Virginia's School of Nursing suggests that the way you' re waking up could be putting unnecessary stress on your heart. Nursing doctoral student Yeonsu Kim studied 32 participants and found that being forced awake— like by a loud phone alarm — can lead to a significant morning blood pressure surge. This happens when your body is suddenly shifted from sleep to wakefulness. And it was found to be 74% higher in participants who were awakened by an alarm after five hours of sleep compared to those who woke up naturally. And that's no small concern — morning blood pressure surges have been linked to serious cardiovascular(心血管的) risks, including stroke and heart attack. The increase in blood pressure activates your sympathetic nervous system — the same system that sets off the“fight or flight” response. That can lead to a rapid heartbeat, anxiety, exhaustion, and even physical symptoms like headaches and nosebleeds. The good news? There are better, healthier ways to greet the day. Instead of relying on harsh alarms, many people are turning to gentler methods — and research backs them up. One popular option is a gradual light alarm, also known as a sunrise alarm clock. These devices imitate the rising sun by slowly increasing in brightness over a set period of time. The gentle light helps signal your body to reduce melatonin (褪黑激素) production and transition into wakefulness more naturally,reducing dizziness and morning stress. There are also alarm apps that use soft music or nature sounds that gradually get louder’ helping you wake without shocking your system. A 2020 study even found that melodic sounds — like a song you can sing along with — help reduce sleep inertia, a sleepy, heavy feeling that can linger for hours after waking up. Small changes can make a big difference in how your body starts the day and your heart will thank you for it! 28. What physical symptoms can be caused by activating the sympathetic nervous system? A. Nervousness and tiredness. B. Slower heartbeat. C. Improved sleep quality. D. Reduced melatonin levels. 29. What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph? A. The dangers of using traditional alarm clocks. B. The importance of getting enough sleep every night. C. The introduction and benefits of gradual light alarms. D. How melatonin affects our sleep quality. 30. What can be inferred from the research findings mentioned in the passage? A. People who wake up naturally never experience morning blood pressure surges. B. Gradual waking methods may lower the risk of heart-related diseases. C. Reducing melatonin production immediately improves cardiovascular health. 高2028届10月月考英语试题 第 4 页共 8 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 D. Loud alarms are the primary cause of strokes and heart attacks worldwide. 31. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To persuade us to stop using alarms. B. To criticize modern sleep habits. C. To compare different types of alarm sounds. D. To explain the dangers of sudden wake-up methods D A major reason why plastic bags and yogurt containers aren't recycled is that it's much more frugal to make these products from the ground up than to recover them. A new recycling technique reported in the journal Science promises a cost-effective way to transform these common plastic waste items into high-quality liquid fuels. What makes plastics useful, namely their strength and resistance to high temperatures, becomes an annoyance when it comes to recycling the materials. The strong carbon- carbon bonds in these plastics require very high temperatures to break, making the process energy- consuming. Once the bonds break, the smaller molecules(分子) that are created quickly form new bonds, giving unwanted chemicals. These byproducts then have to be broken down again adding time and complexity. Researchers developed a way to turn these plastics into useful fuels at temperatures below 100℃,without creating any side products. They conduct the chemical reaction in the presence of a new type of catalyst(催化剂) in a special acidic solution (酸性溶液). In these reaction conditions, as soon as the carbon bonds in the plastic break apart, new bonds form in a controlled way, giving off the chemicals called alkanes. The alkanes can be used either as a fuel or as raw material for new plastics.The entire reaction takes place in a single reaction container. It takes only three hours and occurs at70℃. By comparison, existing recycling techniques typically require two stages, take much longer and need temperatures of over 200℃. The catalyst that the researchers use is already used by some factories. But it will take more research to know whether the technique can be translated to more occasions. If so, such a one- step,low- cost method to turn single- use plastics into chemicals, fuels and high- value materials could go a long way in making the plastic economy sustainable. 32. What does the underlined word“frugal” mean in paragraph 1? A. Typical. B. Reliable. C. Reasonable. D. Economical. 33. What can we know about plastics from paragraph 2? A. They stretch easily and quickly. B. They fail to resist heat perfectly. C. They are stable in chemical properties. D. They are productive in poisonous gases 34. What does the new way of recycling plastics feature? A. Keeping new bonds from forming. B. Regulating acidity of the solution. C. Stressing cleanliness and speed. D. Extending functions of plastics. 35. What is researchers’ attitude toward the technique’ s wide application? A. Critical. B. Cautious C. Hopeless. D. Optimistic. 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最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Deal with Impossible People Most people know someone who seems to make every situation a negative and unmanageable one. 36 , as they likely don't see a problem with their behavior.

She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn't help weeping when she thought of the scolding from her mother.Having wandered in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However,with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave. The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked,“Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?” “Oh, yes... but I don't have money on me,” she replied. “That's nothing. I' ll treat you today,” said the man.“Come in.” The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently. “What is it?” asked the man kindly. “Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny.“Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!” Hearing the words, the seller smiled,“Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby.Can you number the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude to her?” Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock; she remembered Mother's familiar face and weathered hands.“Why did I not think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful, but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.” On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.续写部分为两段，开头语已为你写好。 Nearing the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath.
