C Chongqing: A Futuristic City in China! Darren Watkins Jr., a 20-year-old American internet celebrity known as IShowSpeed (with 37 million YouTube fans), recently took his followers on an exciting virtual tour of Chongqing, China! From eating spicy chili-oil ice cream to riding a train that passes through a 19-story building, his 6.5-hour livestream (直播) showed the world why this city is so magical. Why Is Chongqing Special? Mega City: Chongqing is a special city (called a "municipality") in southwest China. Over 30 million people live here! It’s as big as Austria and five times larger than Beijing. Futuristic Sights: The city has mind-blowing buildings, like Liziba Station where trains run through a residential tower, the 112-meter-long Huangguan Escalator (the tallest in Asia when built), and the "8D Overpass" connecting 20 ramps. Old Meets New: With 3,000 years of history, Chongqing mixes ancient traditions (like spicy hotpot) with neon-lit skyscrapers and dazzling night views. Fun Moments from the Livestream Crowds Everywhere: When Speed visited Jiefangbei (a busy area like New York’s Times Square), excited fans surrounded him, and he reminded everyone to stay safe. Crazy Adventures: He tried spicy ice cream with local influencer Chen Rui, rode a train through a building, and stood on a 72-meter-high overpass, saying, “It feels like floating in the clouds!” Global Fans Amazed: The livestream got 7.3 million views. Foreign viewers commented: “French media described China wrong! Chongqing is cooler than sci-fi movies!” and “I need to visit China now!” 英语学科八年级期中诊断 第3页 (共9页) Chen Rui said, “Chongqing is full of energy.

D A new report shows that “artificial intelligence (AI)” is the hottest field for job seekers! Over half of workers looking to change jobs want to switch to AI-related roles. The report, made by a big job website in China, asked 37,980 people about their future jobs. 57% of workers want AI jobs like AI engineering because they offer higher salaries ( 薪水) , exciting challenges, and good career growth. Searches for AI jobs grew by 200% this year compared to last year! Companies need more AI experts. Top industries workers want to join: 1. AI (49.2%) 2. New Energy (41.7%) 3. High-Tech Factories (36.3%) AI skills are important now! 45% of workers think using AI tools is a must-have skill for office jobs. 12% want to leave their jobs if their company doesn’t teach them AI. But the big problem is that there isn’t enough AI experts! By 2030, China will need 6 million AI workers, but there might be 4 million fewer people than needed. Many AI jobs require a master’s or PhD degree, but not enough students have these yet. What are schools doing? Over 500 universities in China now teach AI majors. Top schools like Tsinghua University are adding more spots for interdisciplinary talents combining AI with other subjects like medicine or design. "The prevalence of DeepSeek has accelerated the penetration of AI technologies across industries. As demand for AI talent rises, companies are increasing recruitment salaries," Li Qiang, executive vice-president of Zhaopin, told Xinhua News Agency. Data from Zhaopin shows that in February, job openings for algorithm engineers rose 46.8 percent, machine learning specialists 40.1 percent and deep learning professionals 5.1 percent, all year-on-year increases. The average monthly salaries for these positions also increased during the same period, with algorithm engineers earning 23,510 yuan 英语学科八年级期中诊断 第4页 (共9页) ($3,237), machine learning specialists 21,534 yuan and AI teachers 24,015 yuan, with an average monthly salary of 15,792 yuan. The number of AI teachers surged 112.4 percent in the month after Spring Festival, which had the biggest salary increase in February. Despite rising interest, the gap between market demand and AI talent cultivation persists. Wang Liang, a researcher at the Institute of Automation at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, told Xinhua News Agency that AI needs different types of talent: People who invent new AI technology. People who build real AI products. People who use AI in different industries like healthcare or farming. In the future, the demand for AI talent will become more specialized across different levels and fields," Wang said. "Universities should focus on differentiated AI talent cultivation when designing their programs and courses." 36. What percentage of workers want to change to AI jobs because of better salaries and career growth? A. 12.3%. B. 45.4%. C. 57.2%. D. 49.2%. 37. Which job had the BIGGEST salary increase in February? A. AI Teachers. B. Algorithm Engineers. C. Machine Learning Experts. D. Deep Learning Professionals. 38. What does the underlined word "interdisciplinary" mean in the third paragraph? A. Focusing on one skill. B. Mixing different fields of study. C. Working alone. D. Ignoring technology. 39. What is the MAIN problem discussed in the text? A. AI jobs are too easy. B. There isn’t enough AI experts! C. All workers hate their current jobs. D. Schools are closing AI programs. 40. Why are Chinese universities creating new AI programs? A. To reduce salaries for engineers. B. To stop using AI in factories. C. To replace human teachers with robots. D. To prepare more students for high-demand AI jobs. 第二节 阅读七选五(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 10 分) Children are natural scientists, and are very interested in the world around them. 41 There's no need for a lot of scientific terms (科学术语) or modern labs. You only have to share your children's interests. Here are some tips: Listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-old children to talk about science as a job. The children asked me “textbook questions” about schooling, the money I got and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing each other silently. Finally I said, “Now that we've finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?” After a long wait, a boy put up his hand, “Have you ever seen a rabbit eat? When I try eating grass like that, I get ill. Why?” 42 43 Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after asking a question, many teachers usually wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When teachers increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children give better answers. 英语学科八年级期中诊断 第5页 (共9页) Watch your language. When the child is having a science discussion, don't jump in with “That's right” or “Very good”. 44 But in talking about science, these words make a child think that the discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying, “That's interesting” or “I've never thought of it that way before”, or coming up with more questions or ideas. 45 Let children look at their hands through a microscope(显微镜),and they'll understand why you want them to wash before dinner... B. Give children time to think. C. Use praise like “Perfect answer!” to motivate them. D. Helping them enjoy science can be easy. E. Encourage kids to ask their own questions. F. This began a lot of questions that lasted nearly two hours. G. These words work well when encouraging a child to help others. 第三部分 语言运用(共三节,满分 35 分) 第一节 补全对话(共 5 小题;每小题 1 分,满分 5 分) Sandy: Hey, Peter!
