After having been just a buyer for some time, I wanted to sell something. I had many things around the house from my childhood that we no longer needed. I knew, with the help of my father, I could make money. One month after another, I enjoyed myself by selling things on my dad’s account. On December 9, 2020, I opened my own account and began to start my own business. Things were going great and then I realized that selling things around the house wasn’t making me the kind of money that I wanted to make, so I decided to turn my business into a resale shop. I went around to the garage sale and bought items at lower prices and sold them at higher prices. Last November, I went to a garage sale that was a little bit different. A single lady had many nice items that I knew I would sell quickly. I went up to her and started a conversation with her. Through the conversation, I knew she was jobless at the moment and needed money to support her family. I decided to sell any of her things for her to help her out. She looked at me for a moment and then broke into tears. I took away some of her things and over the next month, I made over $1,500 for her! She was so thankful for all of my help. I have never felt so happy to help someone in my life. I felt as if I had made a difference in this world and that my skills could be used to help someone who would really need it. 24. Why did the author sell things around the house? A. The author’s family was to move house. B. The author’s family was short of money. C. The things were not useful for his family. D. Their house was not large enough to hold the things. 25. What caused the author to set up a resale shop? A. He opened his own account. B. He expected to earn more money. C. He found a perfect position for his shop D. He cooperated with others to expand his business. 26. What happened to the lady mentioned in paragraph 3? A. She had a serious disease. B. She was injured in a traffic accident. C. She was unemployed during the time. D. She couldn’t return the money she had borrowed. 27. How did the author feel after the experience according to the last paragraph? A. Upset. B. Regretful. C. Embarrassed. D. Proud. C Two thousand years ago, lemurs (狐猴), the size of humans, and giant “elephant birds” wandered through Madagascar. A thousand years later, they were nearly gone. Now, a new study has figured out the mystery of their extinction. The new study can be traced back to 2012 when Jean-Aime Rakotoarisoa and a group of researchers created the Madagascar Genetic and Ethnolinguistic project to study the long-debated question of the ancestry (祖先) of the Malagasy, the island’s major native ethnic group. Though Madagascar is located about 425 kilometers off the east coast of Africa, the Malagasy language is similar to the Austronesian languages spoken7, 000 kilometers across the Indian Ocean. There’s long been a question about when and how people came to Madagascar, and how they influenced the large-bodied animals, their extinction including giant lemurs, elephant birds and turtles. Between 2012 and 2019, the team traveled to 257 villages around the island. They collected saliva (唾液) samples and musical, linguistic, and other social science data. In the new study, the scientists genetically analyzed the saliva and used a computer program to model Malagasy ancestry and estimate how it changed over generations They found the modern Malagasy population originates from a small ancestral Asian population. By 1,000 years ago, this small group had made it to the island. Other studies have found that at the same time, the population of Madagascar increased dramatically and that the lifestyle of the people changed as well. Before that, humans bad lived alongside animals and bunted in small groups. Then, they built large settlements, planted rice, and raised cattle in the field, archacological evidence shows. The researchers believe the population growth and these changes, paired with a hotter and drier climate, likely led to the disappearance of the giant creatures. The researchers agree that it took about 100 years, but they believe the changing climate played less of a role. Understanding humans’ role in the Madagascar extinction is urgent today, especially as modern giants such as elephants and rhinoceroses are threatened. We need to know what causes major changes, so we can save ourselves from a potentially terrible future. 28. Why did Jean-Aime Rakotoarisoa carry out a project in 2012? A. To set up a language database. B. To learn about the evolution of lemurs. C. To find out the mystery of the Malagasy. D. To assist native ethnic groups in conserving wildlife. 29. Why did the researchers study the Malagasy language? A. To see how many people spoke it. B. To compare it with other African languages. C. To understand how the Malagasy learned it well. D. To know how and when the Malagasy got to Madagascar. 30. Which may greatly influence the survival of giant creatures in Madagascar? A. Changes in the climate of the island. B. The conflict between Asian people and the native people. C. Hunting practices of humans living alongside the animals. D. The increasing population and the people’s activities. 31. What can be implied from the last paragraph? A. History should be taken as a mirror. B. Don’t put your eggs in one basket. C. Rome is not built in one day. D. It’s never too late to learn. D DeepSeek was a name that, until recently, was unknown even to the most enthusiastic followers of AI technology. It has rapidly become a household name, shocking the world with its powerful AI chatbot, an unexpected achievement from Asia as the world continues to adopt this revolutionary technology. Widely used across China as a virtual assistant and source of quick information, DeepSeek has become an overnight hit, with young people increasingly turning to the chatbot for therapy and mental health support, creating a new cultural phenomenon. What has sparked global interest in particular is that it has been produced for just a small amount of the cost of its Western rivals, such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT. The surprising popularity of DeepSeek has affected international markets, causing share prices of chip company Nvidia to drop dramatically and causing a wake-up call for Western AI firms. DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng, like many other Big Tech CEOs, has an academic background from a top university. He graduated in computer science and electronic information engineering from Zhejiang University and also has experience in finance. Liang’s background has positioned DeepSeek to compete effectively with US rivals like ChatGPT, influencing stock markets and shaking confidence among industry leaders. DeepSeek was created at just a small amount of the cost, casting doubt on the value of high-performance chips needed for such technology. Chip makers like Nvidia saw their share prices fall sharply as a result. DeepSeek’s cost-effective power comes from an efficient technique called Reinforcement Learning, or RL, a machine learning method that allows AI to learn and make decisions through trial and error to achieve the most suitable results. Despite DeepSeek’s initial success, it is important that a country’s self-dependence does not lead to technological isolationism (孤立主义). Sam Altman, CEO of US-based OpenAI, stated in a recent interview that he would like to work with China. Progressing such an important technology together is not only beneficial for both parties but also ensures that regulation (监管) of AI’s power can be carried out with universal standards. Open-source community learning could also help other nations advance their AI development. India has fallen behind China and the US in the AI race, with problems ranging from lack of capital, with a mere $1 billion compared to $500 billion in the US Stargate project, to a diverse range of languages that all need high-quality data sets. 32. Which can replace the underlined word “rivals” in paragraph 3? A. Competitors. B. Consumers. C. Organizers. D. Discoverers. 33. Why is ChatGPT mentioned in the fifth paragraph? A. DeepSeek can be competitive with ChatGPT. B. DeepSeek has got assistance from ChatGPT. C. ChatGPT and DeepSeek share some resources. D. ChatGPT and DeepSeek have influenced stock markets. 34. How can DeepSeek affect the chip industry? A. More chips will be needed. B. Chips may become cheaper. C Chips must be much smaller. D. Making chips will become more complex. 35. What can be a suitable title for the article? A. DeepSeek Shakes Confidence among Industry Leaders B. DeepSeek’s Cost-effective Power Comes from RL C. DeepSeek Inspires Global AI Cooperation D. DeepSeek Needs to Develop in China 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Lao Zi once said, “Care about what other people think about you and you will always be their prisoner.” Being people-pleasing or seeking self-worth through others’ approval is unproductive. ____36____. Why do we allow what others think of us to have so much power over how we feel about ourselves? If it’s true that you can’t please all people all of the time, wouldn’t it make sense to stop trying? ____37____. For social beings who desire love and belonging, wanting to be liked and caring about the effect we have on others is healthy and allows us to make connections.

As you become more capable of providing yourself with the approval you seek, your need for external (外部的) approval will start to disappear. ____40____. Imagine how much time we lose each moment we restrain (抑制) our authentic selves in an effort to be liked. If we base our worth on the opinions of others, we cheat (使失去) ourselves out of the power to shape our experiences and embrace life not only for others but also for ourselves. So embrace the old saying and love yourself as you’ll not regret it. A. Our desire to be loved will be satisfied. B. It’s also an exhausting way to go through life. C.

It brings a sense of achievement. However, losing is also an integral (不可或缺的) part of the experience. Mark was enthusiastic about playing football, After the game, Mark stared at the ground and sighed in disappointment. Players from the other team raced past Mark, celebrating their shocking victory. They’d scored the game-winning goal just a few seconds before the end of the game. “Just one word to describe a loss like that,” Mark said to his teammate Bill. “Terrible!” Bill sighed. “It was a tough one.” Bill ran toward the middle of the field to shake hands with the winning team. Mark walked slowly behind Bill. He unhappily shook hands with the winners, and then shut his eyes as the spring air cooled his sweaty face. “Unbelievable,” he repeated to himself as he sat on the bench and pulled his jacket on. “Let’s get some hot chocolate and watch the next game,” Bill said. There were eight teams in the YMCA league, so games would go on all the morning. “Sorry. I’m heading home,” Mark said, “I’ve had enough soccer for today.” As he reached the gate, Mark looked back to see the next two teams take the field. They were jumping and shouting, excited to play. “That was us a little while ago, before we were discouraged.” Mark thought. “So why have we lost the game?” Mark asked himself. “How did such a well-played game end up with such a terrible result?” It was still clear in his head: Mark had the ball deep on the opponent’s side of the field, trying to pass the ball to Bill or another teammate. His team had performed much better than the other team for most of the game, but failed within the last several seconds. Mark let out a deep breath. The morning was growing warmer. Perfect for soccer. Mark looked back toward the field again. He couldn’t see it, but he could hear the excited voices as the game continued. Then it occurred to him that his friends Kevin and John would participate in the football match that morning, too. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When Mark was walking out of the stadium, he saw a car stop by the side of the road. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then his friends Kevin and John began to prepare for the game and did some warm-up exercises. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 山西2024~2025学年高二年级4月份期中调研测试 英语试题 考生注意： 1. 本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2. 答题前，考生务必用直径0. 5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3. 考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径0. 5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 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。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。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

Furthermore, the product my mother received is different from what was advertised. It lacks the promised features and functions, which makes it a poor choice as a gift. Therefore, I would like a full refund and I hope that future orders can be delivered promptly to avoid similar inconvenience for customers and that the quality of your products should be guaranteed. I hope you’ll take my complaints into consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 【67题答案】 【答案】One possible version: When Mark was walking out of the stadium he saw a car stop by the side of the road. With the car horn (喇叭) sounding, Mark’s friends Kevin and John came out of the car. “How did you do?” Kevin asked eagerly. “Terrible!” Mark replied in a low voice, still trying to figure out how the opposing team scored the winning goal just seconds before the end of the game. John patted Mark on the shoulder, asking, “Is winning a game the only reason why you play soccer and what really matters when you are playing a game?” Hearing this, Mark didn’t want to go home but decided to follow his friends and watch their game.
