The following are four books about them. Who Was Princess Diana? A shy twenty-year-old girl stepped out of a horse-drawn coach and into the world spotlight. Although the storybook marriage didn’t have a happy ending, Diana learned to use her fame as a way to champion charitable causes near to her heart. She became the People’s Princess by showing care and concern for all people, including the homeless, the sick, and others in need. Who Was Charlie Chaplin? Charlie Chaplin sang on a London stage for the first time at the age of five. Performing proved to be his salvation (救星), providing a way out of a life of hardship and poverty. Success came early and made Chaplin one of the best loved people in the United States. This is a moving portrait of a multi-talented man — actor, director, writer, even music composer. Who Was Jules Verne? Born in France in 1828, Jules Verne always dreamed of adventure. He began writing adventure stories as a young man and became a popular writer throughout France. Known for mixing scientific discovery and literature in his books like Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and Around the World in 80 Days, Verne is often called “The Father of Science Fiction”. Who Is Ralph Lauren? Born in the Bronx, even as a teenager Ralph Lauren was known for his distinctive fashion sense, having a taste for both classic clothes and vintage looks like beat-up leather jackets. He got his start in the fashion business by selling ties that he designed. From ties he went on to create a global fashion empire. 1. Which word can best describe Diana? A. Easy-going. B. Kind-hearted. C. Hard-working. D. Open-minded. 2. What played a main role in Ralph Lauren’s business success? A. His special talent. B. His great determination. C. His childhood experience. D.

B Heman Bekele, the 15-year-old from Annandale who was named 2024 Kid of the Year by TIME, added another award to his list of achievements. The Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes named Bekele a winner, earning him an award of $10,000 to support his research. Bekele developed a bar of soap that helps treat skin cancer. He started the research process at age 11, inspired by the lack of affordable health care and high levels of sun exposure that happens to workers in Ethiopia in Africa, where he was born and raised. Bekele remembers seeing people there working outside in the sun without protecting their skin and he learned about the dangers of cancer from his parents. “When I came to America, I realized how serious the situation is,” Bekele recalls. “Right now there are no affordable and accessible alternatives (替代方案) to the really expensive treatment on the market.” A few years ago, Bekele came across imiquimod, a drug known for treating certain skin cancers. He started thinking about how to make it more accessible for those in the early stages of the disease. He imagined a bar of soap as a simple and affordable way to deliver this important medication, potentially reducing the high costs of skin cancer treatment. However, Bekele still needed to ensure that imiquimod would remain on the skin even after the soap is washed off. He solved this by mixing it with a kind of nanoparticle (纳米颗粒). This isn’t the first time the teen has earned national recognition for his invention. In 2023, he became America’s Top Young Scientist by 3M and Discovery Education. “A lot of people think that everything’s been done, and there’s nothing left for me to do,” Bekele told TIME. “To anybody having that thought, I’d say we’ll never run out of ideas in this world. Just keep inventing. Keep thinking of new ways to improve our world and keep making it a better place.” 4. What made Hem an Bekele start developing the cancer-fighting soap? A. The awards he received. B. The cruel reality he saw. C. His interest in making inventions. D. His curiosity about medical science. 5. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. Treating skin cancer. B. Washing off the soap. C. Reducing the costs of treating cancer. D. Making imiquimod remain on the skin. 6. What can we learn about Heman Bekele? A. He has won three famous titles. B. His research began in adulthood. C. He has always been living in Africa. D. His parents suffered from skin cancer. 7. What does Bekele try to express in the last paragraph? A. There is no end to learning. B. There is no limit to creativity. C. Hard work pays off in the end. D. Everyone can make a difference. C Chinese calligraphy, known as shūfǎ, is the art of writing Chinese characters as a form of aesthetic expression. The birth of Chinese calligraphy began with the formation of Chinese characters thousands of years ago, including the inscriptions (铭文) on animal bones and tortoise shells, and the ones carved on bronze vessels (青铜器皿). An important development of the calligraphic script is the widely known shiguwen, or the inscriptions on stone drums, upon which Qinshihuang unified the writing of characters. Shiguwen led to the invention of dazhuan (the large-seal script), and xiaozhuan (the small-seal script) that was simpler in structure. These were followed by lishu (the clerical script), kaishu (the regular script), xingshu (the running script) and caoshu (the cursive script). Practicing calligraphy becomes a carefree dance of the Chinese brush on paper, which is far beyond communicating the meanings of the characters being written. Calligraphy is not only about writing but emphasizes the beauty of each stroke (笔画), the balance of composition, and the expression of the artist’s inner spirit. Such writing unites Chinese people living in different corners of the country from all walks of life. Whether they are a scholar, a painter, a calligrapher or a common calligraphy lover, they share the pleasure brought by calligraphy. The role calligraphy plays in Chinese cultural tradition is also evident in the close link between it and painting. Normally, they are mentioned in a union as shuhua (calligraphy and painting). A Chinese painting often bears calligraphy, added by its creator or collectors and viewers. In 1926, Liang Qichao, a famous thinker and educator of modern China, gave a speech titled “A Guide to Calligraphy” at Tsinghua campus, during which he said that calligraphy is the most beautiful and convenient tool for entertaining… to calm one’s heart and mind. He went on to note that calligraphy shows the beauty of lines, the reflective glare of ink, and the strength of handwriting. 8. On which did Qinshihuang base the unified writing of characters? A. The inscriptions on shells. B. The inscriptions on bones. C. The inscriptions on stones. D. The inscriptions on vessels. 9. Which of the following appeared first? A. Lishu. B. Caoshu. C. Xingshu. D. Dazhuan. 10. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The history of calligraphy. B. The function of calligraphy. C. The combination of calligraphy and painting. D. The relationship between calligraphy and painting. 11. What’s the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To show the attraction of calligraphy. B. To teach people to enjoy calligraphy. C. To prove the importance of calligraphy. D. To encourage people to learn calligraphy. D Chinese startup DeepSeek’s launch of its latest AI models, which it says are better than industry-leading models in the United States at a low cost, is threatening to upset the technology world order. DeepSeek is a Hangzhou-based startup whose controlling shareholder is Liang Wenfeng, co-founder of quantitative hedge fund High-Flyer, based on Chinese corporate records. The company has attracted attention in global AI circles after writing in a paper that the training of DeepSeek-V3 required less than $6 million worth of computing power from Nvidia H800 chips. DeepSeek’s AI Assistant, powered by DeepSeek-V3, has overtaken (超过) ChatGPT to become the top-rated free application available on Apple’s App Store in the United States. This has raised doubts about some U.S. tech companies’ decision to pledge (承诺) billions of dollars in AI investment and shares of several big tech players, including Nvidia, have been hit. Below are some facts about the company shaking up the AI sector worldwide. The release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT in late 2022 caused serious competition among Chinese tech firms, who rushed to create their own chatbots powered by artificial intelligence. But after the release of the first Chinese ChatGPT equivalent (同等事物) — Ernie Bot, made by search engine giant Baidu, there was widespread disappointment in China at the gap in AI capabilities between Chinese and U.S. firms. The quality and cost efficiency of DeepSeek’s models have changed the situation. The two models that have been showered with praise by Silicon Valley executives and U.S. tech company engineers alike. DeepSeek-V3 and DeepSeek-R1, are on par with OpenAI and Meta’s most advanced models, the Chinese startup has said. They are also cheaper to use. The DeepSeek-R1, released on Jan. 20, 2025, is 20 to 50 times cheaper to use than the OpenAI o1 model, depending on the task, according to a post on DeepSeek’s official WeChat account. 12. What can we learn about DeepSeek’s latest AI models? A. Their launch has surprised the world. B. Their appearance isn’t well received. C. They don’t work as well as ChatGPT. D. They cost more money than ChatGPT. 13. What made people doubt U.S. tech companies’ decision about large investment in AI? A DeepSeek’s great success. B. OpenAI’s need of AI talents. C. OpenAI’s poor performance. D. DeepSeek’s unique technology. 14 How did people in China feel about Ernie Bot? A. Curious. B. Amazed. C. Annoyed. D. Unsatisfied. 15. What does the last paragraph focus on? A. The possible risks of DeepSeek’s models. B. The advantages of DeepSeek’s models. C. The future development of DeepSeek and OpenAI. D. The similarities between DeepSeek and OpenAI. 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。 Whatever your age, being physically active can help you lead a healthier and happier life. ____16____.

My father had put it best: “Some kids are good in school, and some aren’t. You’re just one of the kids who isn’t.” But I wasn’t satisfied with that answer. Ever since the first day of school, it had been drilled into my brain that I must work for academic success. Our principal told us many times about striving for greatness. But school wasn’t the worst of my troubles; my time at home had the greatest effect on me. Whether it was the glowing reports on my brothers, or even the A’s and B’s on their report cards, I felt I wasn’t as good. That I was inferior. By fourth grade, my self-confidence had dropped considerably and I became depressed. As I only had a couple of friends, and I wasn’t even sure if they liked me, I had no one to talk to. I would lie awake at night and wonder if my life had some meaning. Weren’t my brothers embarrassed by me? Did they see me as the failure of the family? The black sheep? Tears would soak my pillow. In high school, without special education, I had to find new ways to help myself do better in school. But the pain from the past six years had caught up with me, and I hated studying. I had had enough failure in my life. Why add more salt to the wound? One night during my sophomore year, I was working with my math teacher. I just wasn’t getting it, and it had been going on like that for a few weeks. My teacher finally had it, and started shouting at me in front of the entire crowd of kids. “How dumb can you be? We’ve been reviewing the same four math steps for three weeks now. If you don’t start shaping up soon, you’ll end up being a failure.” It was the first time that someone had said “You’re a failure” right to my face. 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。 I stormed out of the room and went back home, throwing myself into my mother’s arms. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ My mother’s words cheered me up and I decided to make a new beginning. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2024—2025学年海南高一年级阶段性教学检测（三） 英语 本试卷满分150分，测试时间120分钟。 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?

Yours, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 【47题答案】 【答案】 I stormed out of the room and went back home, throwing myself into my mother’s arms. Tears streaming down my face, I sobbed out what had happened in the math class and my long-pent-up feelings of being a failure. “Mom, am I really that stupid? Will I always be a failure?” I asked weakly. My mother gently stroked my back and said softly, “My dear, everyone has their own pace and strengths. Just because you find math difficult doesn’t mean you’re a failure. You’re kind-hearted, helpful, and have a lot of other good qualities. Don’t let one teacher’s words define you.” She held me tightly and told me that she believed in me and that I could succeed as long as I didn’t give up. My mother’s words cheered me up and I decided to make a new beginning. I started to face my studies with a positive attitude. For math, which I was weak in, I asked my teacher for extra help after class and spent more time doing exercises. I also found some learning methods that suited me, such as making study plans and summarizing knowledge points. In the process, I encountered many difficulties, but whenever I wanted to give up, I would think of my mother’s words. Slowly, I began to make progress. My grades in other subjects also improved. More importantly, I regained my self-confidence and realized that I was not a failure. I was just on my own path to growth. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
