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 dismissing 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, when Donna 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. 4. 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. 5. How did the bench get its various names? A. From items placed on it. B. From seasonal discussions. C. From users’ activities on it. D. From Donna’s creative ideas. 6. 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. 7. 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. 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了作者和邻居唐娜在户外放置长椅，长椅吸引邻居们一起聊天、思考、做决定，最终成为邻里情谊象征的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“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 dismissing unsuitable options from local stores, she found a perfect one online. The next day it arrived.(然而，在接下来的几天里，我们发现仅仅一把椅子和一个水桶是远远不够的，它们并不舒适。唐娜决定我们需要一个长凳。在排除了当地商店里那些不合适的选择后，她在网上找到了一个完美的长凳。第二天，它就送过来了)”以及“What’s more, it was the perfect fit for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats.(此外，对于两位七十多岁的老人来说，这里正是进行午后闲聊的理想场所)”可知，唐娜决定把椅子和桶换成长凳是为了让聊天时有更好的座位。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Then, the name gradually evolved — after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating (冥想) “, adding yet another name.(随后，这个地方的名称逐渐演变而来——有一次，一位邻居独自静静地坐着沉思，他便称其为“决策长凳”；还有一次，当唐娜被发现正在打盹时，她坚称自己是在“冥想”，于是又赋予了它另一个名称)”可知，长凳的名字来源于使用者在长凳上的活动。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“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.(在接下来的几个月里，我几次瞥见那张长椅，只见它孤零零地立在那里，上面放着空花盆和一些扁平的旧箱子。但如今漫长的冬季已过去，温暖的阳光下春天的花朵即将绽放，而我们这些邻居也准备好迎接“那张长椅”重回我们的生活了)”可知，长凳上放着空花盆和旧盒子，说明长凳在冬天没有发挥它的作用。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合最后一段中“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.(但如今漫长的冬季已过去，温暖的阳光下春天的花朵即将绽放，而我们这些邻居也准备好迎接“那张长椅”重回我们的生活了)”可知，文章讲述了作者和邻居唐娜在户外放置长椅，长椅吸引邻居们一起聊天、思考、做决定，最终成为邻里情谊象征的故事。B选项“通过长椅进行联结”最符合文章标题。 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! 8. 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. 9. 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. 10. 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. D. Loud alarms are the primary cause of strokes and heart attacks worldwide. 11. 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 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了突然被闹钟叫醒会使血压急剧上升，增加心血管疾病风险，同时介绍了更健康的唤醒方式。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“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.(血压升高会激活交感神经系统 —— 也就是触发“战斗或逃跑”反应的系统。这可能导致心跳加速、焦虑、疲惫，甚至出现头痛、流鼻血等身体症状。)”可知，激活交感神经系统会引发焦虑（紧张）和疲惫。故选A项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“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 production and transition into wakefulness more naturally, reducing dizziness and morning stress.(一种流行的选择是渐进式光线闹钟，也被称为日出闹钟。这类设备通过在设定时间内缓慢增加亮度来模拟日出。柔和的光线有助于提示身体减少褪黑激素分泌，更自然地过渡到清醒状态，减少头晕和早晨的压力。)”可知，该段核心是介绍渐进式光线闹钟及其好处。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“And that’s no small concern — morning blood pressure surges have been linked to serious cardiovascular risks, including stroke and heart attack.(这是一个不小的问题 —— 早晨血压飙升与严重的心血管风险有关，包括中风和心脏病发作。)”以及第四段中“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 production and transition into wakefulness more naturally, reducing dizziness and morning stress.(许多人不再依赖严厉的警报，而是转向更温和的方法——研究也支持了他们的观点。一种流行的选择是渐进式光线闹钟，也被称为日出闹钟。这些装置模仿太阳升起，在一段固定的时间内缓慢增加亮度。柔和的光线可以帮助你的身体减少褪黑素的产生，更自然地过渡到清醒状态，减少头晕和早晨的压力。)”可推断出，渐进式唤醒方式可能会降低患心脏病相关疾病的风险。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“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.(弗吉尼亚大学护理学院的一项新研究表明，你醒来的方式可能会给你的心脏带来不必要的压力。)”及后文对突然被闹钟叫醒的危害介绍可知，本文的主要目的是解释突然唤醒方法的危害。故选D项。 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 at 70℃. 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. 12. What does the underlined word “frugal” mean in paragraph 1? A. Typical. B. Reliable. C. Reasonable. D. Economical. 13. 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. 14. 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. 15. What is researchers’ attitude toward the technique’s wide application? A. Critical. B. Cautious. C. Hopeless. D. Optimistic. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍一种新型塑料回收技术，它低温一步反应，可将塑料垃圾转化为烷烃燃料，但该技术大规模推广仍有待更多研究。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“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.(塑料袋和酸奶容器无法回收的一个主要原因是，从头生产这些产品比回收利用它们要frugal。)”可知，此处指塑料袋和酸奶容器重新生产比回收更加划算省钱，所以猜测frugal表示“省钱、经济的”，和economical同义。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“What makes plastics useful, namely their strength and resistance to high temperatures, becomes an annoyance when it comes to recycling the materials.(让塑料具备实用价值的特性，也就是它们的强度与耐高温性，在回收这些材料时却成了麻烦。)”可知，塑料强度高、耐高温，即化学性质稳定。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“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.(在这些反应条件下，塑料中的碳键一经断裂，新化学键就会以可控方式形成，产生被称为烷烃的化学物质。)”以及“It takes only three hours and occurs at 70℃. By comparison, existing recycling techniques typically require two stages, take much longer and need temperatures of over 200℃.(该反应仅耗时三小时，在70摄氏度下发生。相比之下，现有的回收技术通常分为两个阶段，耗时更长，并且需要200摄氏度以上的高温。)”可知，新回收方法洁净，反应速度快。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“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.(但还需要更多研究，才能确定这项技术能否应用到更多场景。如果可行，这种一步到位、低成本的方法能将一次性塑料转化为化学品、燃料和高价值材料，会大大助力塑料经济实现可持续发展。)”可知，研究者对这项技术的广泛应用持谨慎态度，认为还需要进一步研究验证。 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. ___16___, as they likely don’t see a problem with their behavior. Here are tips to help you navigate interactions with these people. Avoid getting defensive. Stay calm, and be aware that you will never win in an argument with impossible people — they are referred to as “impossible”for a reason. In their mind, you are the problem. ___17___. They’ve already decided that your opinion doesn’t matter and your defence is a decorative evidence. Adjust your strategy. ___18___, so treat it like a game. Learn the impossible person’s strategy, and develop counter strategies ahead of time. Eventually you’ll find what works and what doesn’t, plus you’ll probably feel better as you realize you’ re three steps ahead, outwitting (智胜) them at every turn. Just remember your ultimate goal is to help free yourself mentally, not become the person’s master. ___19___. Impossible people offer valuable life experiences. After dealing with them, you will be able to get along with most other people more easily. Try to keep perspective, and realize that what may seem crazy to you may be another person’s only way of coping. Try to view these interactions as a way to build strengths such as flexibility, grace, and tolerance. Watch out for picking up impossible people’s characteristics. You tend to pick up on the behavior of those around you. For this reason, you could find yourself adopting the very characteristics that you dislike by accident. You may engage in the same illogical behavior in response to the impossible person. ___20___. A. Accept the situation B. Consider what you can learn C. Catch yourself when you start to do this D. Sometimes you can’t leave the situation E. So nothing you say can convince them to see your side of the story F. Pointing out that these people are difficult and demanding won’t help G. An impossible person is convinced that they have already made a mistake 【答案】16. F 17. E 18. D 19. B 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了应对难相处的人的方法，包括避免防御、调整策略、接受从他们身上学习以及注意不沾染他们的不良特性等。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Most people know someone who seems to make every situation a negative and unmanageable one.(大多数人都认识一些似乎会把每种情况都变得消极且难以处理的人。)”以及下文 “as they likely don’t see a problem with their behavior.(因为他们可能看不到自己行为存在的问题。)”可知，此处讲述指出这些人有问题是没有用的，由此可知，此空应阐述指出这些人难相处是没有帮助的，F选项“Pointing out that these people are difficult and demanding won’t help(指出这些人很难相处且要求苛刻是没有帮助的)”符合语境，起到承上启下的作用。故选F项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Stay calm, and be aware that you will never win in an argument with impossible people — they are referred to as “impossible” for a reason. In their mind, you are the problem.(保持冷静，并意识到在与难相处的人的争论中你永远不会赢—— 他们被称为“难相处的人”是有原因的。在他们心里，你才是问题所在。)”可知，此处讲述与难相处的人争论时的情况，由此可推断，此空应阐述与难相处的人争论时的情况，E选项“So nothing you say can convince them to see your side of the story(所以你说的任何话都无法说服他们站在你的立场看问题)”承接上文，进一步说明了与他们争论时的结果，符合语境。故选E项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Adjust your strategy.(调整你的策略。)”以及下文“so treat it like a game.(所以把它当作一场游戏。)”可知，此处讲述有时不能摆脱与难相处的人的相处，所以要调整策略，D选项“Sometimes you can’t leave the situation(有时你无法摆脱这种情况)”与下文为因果关系，起到承上启下的作用，符合语境。故选D项。 【19题详解】 根据下文“Impossible people offer valuable life experiences. After dealing with them, you will be able to get along with most other people more easily. Try to keep perspective, and realize that what may seem crazy to you may be another person’s only way of coping. Try to view these interactions as a way to build strengths such as flexibility, grace, and tolerance.(难相处的人提供了宝贵的人生经验。在与他们打交道后，你将能够更轻松地与大多数其他人相处。试着保持客观，并且意识到对你来说可能看似疯狂的事情可能是另一个人唯一的应对方式。试着把这些互动看作是培养诸如灵活性、优雅和宽容等优点的一种方式。)”可知，此处讲述从与难相处的人的相处中可以学习到东西，B选项“Consider what you can learn(考虑你能学到什么)”为祈使句，且概括了本段的主题，起到了总领下文的作用，符合语境。故选B项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“For this reason, you could find yourself adopting the very characteristics that you dislike by accident. You may engage in the same illogical behavior in response to the impossible person.(出于这个原因，你可能会发现自己意外地采用了你不喜欢的那些特性。你可能会以同样不合逻辑的行为来回应那个难相处的人。)”可知，此处讲述要注意避免沾染难相处的人的不良特性，C选项“Catch yourself when you start to do this(当你开始这样做的时候要及时察觉自己)”中的do this指的是上文的“adopting the very characteristics that you dislike by accident.”，起到了总结上文的作用。故选C项。 第三部分英语知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节完形填空(共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分) Cristina has been diving with sharks for the last twenty-five years.

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 remember 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. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Nearing the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Nearing the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. The scene of her mother anxiously pacing back and forth outside the house flashed through her mind, making her heart ache. She raised her hand to knock on the door, but hesitated for a moment. Memories flooded in: how her mother would tuck her in at night, how she would patiently wait for her to come home from school every day, and how she would prepare her favorite meals without complaint. ‌“I was so stupid,” she murmured to herself, tears welling up again. Finally, she mustered up the courage and knocked on the door. A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. She looked up and saw her mother’s worried yet relieved face. Her mother’s eyes were red, and there were faint traces of tears on her cheeks. ‌“Where have you been? I’ve been looking for you everywhere,” her mother said, her voice trembling with emotion. Jenny threw herself into her mother’s arms, sobbing, ‌“Mum, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have quarreled with you and run out of the house. I’m so grateful for everything you’ve done for me.” Her mother patted her back gently, saying, ‌“Silly girl, I’m the one who should be sorry. I shouldn’t have scolded you so harshly.” In that warm embrace, Jenny realized that her mother’s love was the most precious gift in the world. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物情绪变化为线索展开，讲述Jenny因和母亲吵架离家，得到陌生人一碗面的帮助后，在陌生人的点醒下，意识到母亲的付出，决心回家道歉。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“快到门口时，珍妮深吸了一口气。”可知，第一段可描写Jenny在门口回忆母亲的付出，内心充满愧疚，最终鼓起勇气敲门的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“一个温柔的触碰落在她的头发上，把她的思绪拉了回来。”可知，第二段可描写母亲开门后，两人的互动，Jenny道歉，母亲表达担忧，母女和解的场景。 2. 续写线索：门口愧疚回忆——鼓起勇气敲门——母亲开门显担忧——Jenny道歉——母女拥抱和解 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①敲门：knock on the door/rap on the door ②低语：murmur/whisper ③拍：pat/tap 情绪类 ①犹豫：hesitate/waver ②担忧的：worried/anxious 【点睛】[高分句型1] The scene of her mother anxiously pacing back and forth outside the house flashed through her mind, making her heart ache.(运用了现在分词making作结果状语) [高分句型2] I’m so grateful for everything you’ve done for me.(运用了省略关系代词that的限制性定语从句) [高分句型3] In that warm embrace, Jenny realized that her mother’s love was the most precious gift in the world.(运用了连词that引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 资中二中高2028届10月月考英语试卷 第一部分听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

An instruction on how to upload contents to online libraries B Last spring, my neighbor Donna and I, both in our seventies, spent several hours in the glorious sunshine enjoying the new season. 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 dismissing 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, when Donna 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. 4. 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. 5. How did the bench get its various names? A. From items placed on it. B. From seasonal discussions. C. From users’ activities on it. D. From Donna’s creative ideas. 6. 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. 7. 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! 8. 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. 9. 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. 10. 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. D. Loud alarms are the primary cause of strokes and heart attacks worldwide. 11. 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 at 70℃. 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. 12. What does the underlined word “frugal” mean in paragraph 1? A. Typical. B. Reliable. C. Reasonable. D. Economical. 13. 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. 14.

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 remember 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. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Nearing the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
