The northern city has an expansive food scene with many different global cuisines packed into its many neighborhoods. Here are 4 of Manchester’s best restaurants. Hawksmoor If you like a good steak, immediately book a table at Hawksmoor. Hawksmoor is also known for its massive Sunday roast, available from lunchtime on Sundays, and it’s the sort of spot where you can go for a burger at the bar. Ask your server about the Shaky Pete’s Ginger Brew, a cocktail that is representative at Hawksmoor. Yuzu Yuzu is your best choice for good Japanese food in the city. It’s a Japanese tapas bar, which means Yuzu serves everything from sashimi to tempura to gyoza in a way that allows the guest to try it all. It’s open for lunch and dinner, and reservations (预订) are recommended. Hispi Head to South Manchester to discover Hispi, a casual restaurant serving some of the most delicious dishes in the city. The menu is familiar, with selections like smoked lamb and miso-glazed squash. There’s a special Sunday lunch menu serving two or three courses, and families are welcome thanks to a beautiful kids menu. Hispi is part of a popular group of restaurants, including Burnt Truffle and Sticky Walnut. Book in advance, if possible. Mana Mana has been Manchester’s first Michelin-starred restaurant since 1977, which is by reservation only. Everything is presented as a set menu with an optional wine pairing, but you get to make a few choices along the way. Go for the shorter lunch menu if you want to get the experience on a budget. 21. What is special about Yuzu? A. It is available from breakfast time. B. It offers Japanese food. C. It serves most delicious dishes. D. It gives away a wine pairing. 22. Why is Hispi a suitable place for families to eat in? A. Because of its good location. B. Because of its casual atmosphere. C. Because of its Sunday lunch menu. D. Because of its children’s menu. 23. Which of the following is a Michelin-starred restaurant? A. Hawksmoor. B. Yuzu. C. Hispi. D. Mana. B Blue Planet is an amazing series, making the diversity of life in our seas and oceans accessible to all. And Blue Planet II took a critical step by also highlighting the challenges affecting our oceans. One such issue is that of plastic pollution, something I have researched for over 20 years. I have written more scientific papers on the topic than anyone else — but science alone is of limited value unless communicated. That’s especially important with plastic pollution where actions by all of us, in daily life, are needed to make a difference. There has been a marked increase in interest in plastic pollution; some in the field call this “the Blue Planet II effect”. Michael Gove, for example, was apparently drawn by the images of plastic bags in one episode. Images of seabirds eating plastic goods were particularly shocking. A few minutes of coverage by Blue Planet II has done more to raise awareness than the decades of underlying research could ever have done alone. A step change in awareness is one thing, but what’s actually changed since the series went on air in October 2017? In 2018, twice as many volunteers participated in the Great British Beach Clean than the year before, and they reported on average a 16 per cent decrease in the number of items collected. This is a fantastic achievement, but clean-up on its own will not fix the problem. More systemic change is required, and that will take time. Over the last 60 years, we have become accustomed to the convenience of single-use plastics. It has become acceptable for items to be used in an instant, even though the resultant waste persists for decades. In my view, the challenge going forward lies in matching potential solutions to the specific uses of plastic. How and where should we adopt the different strategies — reduce, reuse, recycle, biodegrade, compost? Evidence about the problem is now clear, but evidence about which specific actions to take, and in which circumstances, is far less clear. 24. According to the writer, what is an achievement of Blue Planet II? A. It has given scientists inspirations for their work. B. It has revealed how fast the oceans are shrinking. C. It has aroused people’s interest in plastic pollution. D. It has become one of the most popular TV series globally. 25. The Great British Beach Clean is mentioned in paragraph 3 in order to ________. A. cast doubt on the real effect of clean-up B. suggest a possible solution to ocean pollution C. indicate how much we rely on single-use plastics D. imply that Blue Planet II has brought about change 26. According to the writer, what is a real challenge now? A. Making “the Blue Planet II effect” last longer. B. Collecting more evidence for plastic pollution. C. Dealing with different kinds of plastic properly. D. Communicating the harm of plastic to the public. 27. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A. Blue Planet II: Did It Have an Impact on Plastic Pollution? B. Blue Planet II: How Did It Win the Hearts of the Public? C. Blue Planet II: How Did We Take Full Advantage of It? D. Blue Planet II: Did It Work Against Science? C Born in 1940 in Nyeri, Kenya, Wangari Maathai spent her childhood in the Kenyan countryside and her young adult life in the United States. She studied biology at Mount St. Scholastica College in Kansas, then obtained a master’s degree from the University of Pittsburgh. After returning to Kenya and pursuing her PhD at the University of Nairobi, Wangari became the first woman in East Africa to receive a doctor’s degree. In the 1970s Wangari was an active member of the National Council of Women of Kenya. Women came to the council in part to search for solutions to the environmental problems — deforestation and desertification had caused many of the resources women relied on for food and clean water to decrease. Fuelled by her knowledge of biology and her passion for helping others, Wangari decided to take action. Wangari had two goals in mind: to help restore environmental resources and give women the ability to support their families in a self-sufficient, sustainable way. To achieve her goals, she came up with a practical but impactful idea: to plant trees. The trees would reduce the effects of deforestation, in addition to providing food and firewood for local families. Wangari’s plan inspired the formation of the Green Belt Movement in 1977, an organisation dedicated to environmental conservation and poverty reduction in Kenya. As the Green Belt Movement grew, Wangari began to focus on several different but interconnected causes: environmental conservation and human rights. In the late 1980s, she called on her community to oppose the construction of a skyscraper in Uhuru Park, Nairobi’s central public space. In 1999 she led a protest against the privatisation (私有化) of Karura Forest in Nairobi, during which Green Belt Movement members were beaten by private guards. Despite facing ongoing opposition and even danger, Wangari’s belief in her work was never shaken. Wangari served on the boards of countless environmental organisations, and spoke to members of the United Nations. Due to her tireless work Wangari received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004. 28. How did Wangari’s knowledge of biology inspire her to take action? A. By providing knowledge for her PhD research. B. By motivating her to start the Green Belt Movement. C. By realizing the environmental problems women faced. D. By helping her come up with the idea of planting trees. 29. What was the main goal of the Green Belt Movement? A. Privatisation of Karura Forest. B. Improvement of forest plantation. C. Construction and expansion of skyscrapers. D. Environmental protection and poverty relief. 30. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The belief Wangari hold. B. The efforts Wangari made. C. The success Wangari achieved. D. The challenges Wangari faced. 31. Which of the following best describes Wangari Maathai? A. Honest and hard-working. B. Patient and unselfish. C. Considerate and generous. D. Determined and inspiring. D Choosing to forget something might take more mental effort than trying to remember it, researchers at the University of Texas discovered. Their findings suggest that in order to forget an unwanted experience, more attention should be focused on it. “Decades of research has shown that we have the ability to forget something out of our own free will, but how our brains do that is still being questioned. Once we can figure out how memories are weakened and think out ways to control this, we can design treatment to help people rid themselves of unwanted memories,” said Jarrod Lewis-Peacock, the study’s senior author. Memories are dynamic constructions of the brain that regularly get updated, adjusted and reorganized through experience. The brain is constantly remembering and forgetting information, and much of this happens automatically during sleep. Their findings not only confirmed that humans have the ability to control what they forget, but also that successful intentional forgetting requires more activity than what is required to remember. “A proper level of brain activity is important to this forgetting mechanism. Too strong, and it will strengthen the memory; too weak, and you won’t change it,” said Tracy Wang, lead author of the study. “Importantly, it’s the intention to forget that increases the activation of the memory, and when this activation hits the sweet spot at the appropriate level, that’s when it leads to later forgetting of that experience.” The researchers also found that participants were more likely to forget scenes than faces. “We’re learning how these mechanisms in our brain respond to different types of information, and it will take a lot of further research before we understand how to use our ability to forget,” said Lewis-Peacock. “Hopefully, we can find out how we process and get rid of those really strong, sticky emotional memories, which can have a powerful effect on our health and well-being.” 32. What remains a puzzle to researchers? A. How our memories can be strengthened. B. How our brains voluntarily forget something. C. What effect unwanted memories have on our brains. D. Whether our brains can voluntarily forget something. 33. Which of the following can best describe memories? A. Active. B. Lasting. C. Casual. D. Ridiculous. 34. What can we learn from the text? A. It requires less attention to forget than to remember. B. The more active the brain is, the faster it forgets. C. Humans can’t keep memories under control. D. Humans forget faces less easily than scenes. 35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. What it takes to forget an unwanted experience B. Strong memories have a great influence on health C. Forgetting uses more brain power than remembering D. How to train our brains to voluntarily forget something 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Touchdown spaces are simple work spaces that may be employed as a replacement for a larger office. 36 They can also refer to a cubicle (小隔间) in a business setup that provides a place for individuals to work. Rental agreements can be signed on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. 37 One cubicle may have a telephone, some type of Internet access, a desk, and a chair. An overhead light may also be provided. In addition, the individual space will be supplied with any other items needed, such as printers, pencils, notepads, and other tools which are common in an office environment. One ideal customer for a touchdown space is someone who is starting his or her own business and wants a space outside the home for work-related tasks. 38 However, renting a cubicle is often much less expensive and may include some of the amenities (便利设施) that come along with a rented office space. A touchdown space is also taken advantage of by business people who are in town for a short period of time. Rather than working in a hotel room, the visiting business professionals will rent a desk for them during their stay in town. 39 Not every city recently offers touchdown spaces as a replacement for larger offices. 40 One of the best ways of locating a rental touchdown space is identifying any business setup resources within the town locally. A. However, the idea is really gaining more attention. B. They can be a rented work space within a working office. C. Doing so allows these people to separate work time from personal time. D. Touchdown spaces often include a few basics needed for doing business. E. In today’s office environments, different tasks require different work spaces. F. Touchdown spaces, at the very least, require a table, a chair, and Internet access. G. They usually have limited money, and renting even a small office is not practical. 三、完形填空（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Jerry Goode headed into the woods for a camping trip with his fishing equipment.

As we drafted a menu, they asked about my family’s traditions. “We always have a big turkey,” I said, closing my eyes. “Mom bakes it with butter, and it’s so juicy.” “We should cook a turkey together!” Maria said, clapping her hands. Juanita nodded eagerly. “My family never made turkey at Christmas. This will be an adventure!” My heart sank. I’d never roasted a turkey before. Mom always handled it, and I’d survived college on microwave meals. What if I ruined Christmas? “Don’t worry,” Juanita said. “We’ll learn as a team.” That night, we gathered on the sofa, with laptops open. Maria searched for Latin American spices (香料), Juanita studied her aunt’s secret sauce (酱料) recipe, and I looked through cooking blogs for roasting tips. We created a detailed to-do list, assigning tasks like shopping, decorating and sauce-making. On the morning of Christmas Eve, our “turkey hunt” began. The first store had only frozen ones, and the fresh turkeys at the second were really expensive. “This is our last chance,” I said, struggling to carry a12-pounder to the register. On the way home, we picked up colorful paper, shining string lights, and extra supplies for side dishes. In the kitchen, memories of Mom making turkey flooded my mind. I could still picture her standing in our kitchen back in Detroit, her hands skillfully moving as she prepared the turkey. I reached for the butter, just like I’d seen her do countless times, and gently spread it under the turkey’s skin. Then, following the steps I’d memorized, I stuffed the turkey with onions, copying the precise way Mom always did. Just as I finished, Maria came over with a small bowl. She surprised us by brushing the turkey with a mixture of orange juice and honey. “My grandma used to do this,” she said. “It’ll make the skin more delicious.” Finally, we placed the turkey into the oven (烤箱) with hopeful smiles and went to get the living room ready for Christmas. 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。 However, caught up in decorating the living room, we forgot the timer. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Then we carried the turkey to the living room and placed it on the table. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 《2028届高二10月检测（英语）》参考答案 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 B C B B A B B B C A 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 B C C B A C B C C B 题号 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 答案 B D D C D C A D D B 题号 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 答案 D B A D C B D G C A 题号 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 答案 D B C A A C D B A D 题号 51 52 53 54 55 答案 C D B A D 56. a 57. of 58. pictures 59. to learn 60. started 61. best 62.

More importantly, it teaches me to never give up. When I lose a point, I learn to focus and try harder for the next one. Playing badminton has made me more determined not only on the court but also in my studies. It shows me that practice and a positive attitude are key to improvement in anything. 67. However, caught up in decorating the living room, we forgot the timer. When the smoke alarm went off, the turkey’s skin was slightly blackened. “No!” I panicked, feeling like our first shared Christmas would be ruined. But Maria quickly grabbed a knife, her eyes steady. “We can just cut off the burnt bits and it’ll still be delicious,” she said, cutting them away. Juanita joined in, waving her spicy sauce. “With this, even cardboard would taste great!” Their laughter melted my anxiety. I added herbs and orange slices, turning the turkey into a colorful centerpiece. Then we carried the turkey to the living room and placed it on the table. The plates were already waiting, along with glasses filled with fresh juice. The moment I cut into the turkey, steam rose, revealing tender, butter-kissed meat. Maria poured her honey-orange mixture over the slices, while Juanita’s sauce added a spicy kick. As we passed the turkey plate around, sharing bites and stories, the burnt edges became a source of laughter. The imperfect turkey, born from our combined efforts, tasted like home — a reminder that Christmas isn’t about perfection, but the warmth of shared moments with friends. 1. 【原文】M: I think this is the most boring subject — all those things to memorize: people, places, dates! W: Hey! But the stories are so cool! We can learn from our past mistakes. 2. 【原文】M: It’s Friday already. Jim’s supposed to come back today. Why isn’t he here yet? W: Oh, he decided to put off his return date. He’ll be back the day after tomorrow. 3. 【原文】W: I’m busy year in and year out, but now I’ve done nothing. M: You’ve done a lot, my darling! 4. 【原文】M: Have you seen Alice? Is she still as cute as she was in high school? W: Well, she’s not as skinny. She ought to do a little more exercise. M: What about that dark, dark hair? W: It’s gray now. 5. 【原文】M: Susan, there’s too much noise. Turn off the TV. W: No, wait. That’s Born in China. It’s a documentary about the birth and growth of giant pandas, snow leopards and golden monkeys in their habitats in China. M: Sounds great. Turn it down, please. I’m working on my papers. 6—7. 【原文】W: What a day! It has been raining from early morning. I don’t like the weather at all. Footprints are everywhere on the floor. M: I rather enjoyed it. Imagine walking in the rain relaxed and light-hearted. What’s more, it’s not that hot and the air feels fresher. I feel alive. W: I don’t think so. Rainy days make me a little bit tired and blue. I prefer fair weather with blue sky and clear sun. M: As you wish, the weather forecast said it would be sunny again in the late afternoon. 8—9. 【原文】W: Right, I think I’ve got everything. M: OK. Let me see. Mm, it’s a long list, isn’t it? W: Yes. And we need to remember, we’re going by train. And we’ve only got our backpacks. So we can’t carry that much. M: You’re right. We need to decide what’s really necessary and what we don’t really need. W: Let’s go through the list again and cross out the things that aren’t as important. M: Mm. Do we really need to take a cooking pot? It’ll be quite heavy to carry. Maybe we’ll have to buy food there. We can keep going on energy bars during the day to save money. 10—12. 【原文】W: Hi, my name is Anne Smith. M: Hi. I’m Bill Harrington. W: Mr. Harrington, I need to ask you a few questions before I show you what we have. First, what price can you accept? M: Somewhere between 800 and 900 rent a month. W: Okay. Did you have a particular place in mind? M: Well, I would like to live somewhere near the university or at least on the bus line. I have a class to attend early in the morning. W: Okay. Are there any other things you would like to have? For example, a dishwasher, a swimming pool or the air conditioner? M: I would certainly like to have a dishwasher and something of like this air conditioning would be necessary. Oh, yes. And two bedrooms will be nice. W: Okay. Here are photos of the flats that meet your requirements. M: Thank you. This one past the street looks nice. I would like to see it and the one on Main Street.

You can take the No. 12 bus. It will take you there directly. M: How far is it from here? W: It’s about five kilometers. If you are in a hurry, you can take the subway. It’s much faster. M: How long does it take to get there by subway? W: Only about ten minutes. And the subway station is just two blocks away from here. M: OK. How much is the ticket? W: It’s ¥3 for adults and half price for students. Are you a student? M: Yes, I am a student of this city’s university. I’m going there to watch a football match. W: Oh, great! The match starts at 7 o’clock tonight, right? You still have plenty of time. M: Yes, thank you so much for your help. W: You’re welcome. 17—20. 【原文】W: My husband and I took a 15-day tour of China provided by Top China Travel last year. It was more expensive than a regular tour, but it was worth it. Not much local people actually understand and speak English, so having a guide to take us around was a great help. We had a different guide in each area, and all of them were great. They provided an overall view of their area, including the main sights and picked an excellent restaurant for our lunches, so we were able to sample lots of different local foods. We had a Ford just for us. The guide basically picked us up at the airport or train station and ended his assignment after checking us in for our flight or train ride to the following city. We couldn’t have done everything we did without the service of the organization. The only issue we had is that we missed the cultural night show in Xi’an, since we arrived there too late that night. The following day after touring the Terracotta Soldiers we left in the afternoon for our next stop. Other than this, Top China Travel made our China experience a memorable one. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
