The Great Wall In 1987, the Great Wall was included on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The Great Wall was continuously built from the 3rd century BC to the 17th century AD on the northern borders as a great military defence project of Chinese dynasties. It begins in the east at Shanhaiguan in Hebei Province and ends at Jiayuguan in Gansu Province to the west, with a total length of more than 20,000 kilometers. The Palace Museum In 1987, the Palace Museum was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Carrying 5,000 years of Chinese history and culture, the wonderful architectural complex is thus recognized as one of the most famous cultural heritages in China and the world. Peking Man Site at Zhoukoudian Peking Man Site at Zhoukoudian was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. With a large number of relics, it is one of the most comprehensive, systematic and valuable early Paleolithic human sites in the world. The museum offers rich and detailed exhibitions. The Summer Palace In 1998, UNESCO included the Summer Palace on its World Heritage List, The history of the Summer Palace can date back to 1750 during the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. It is a masterpiece of Chinese garden art, combining natural landscapes with manmade structures. Its beautiful scenery and unique design make it a popular destination for tourists and a source of inspiration for artists and architects. 1. What is special about the Great Wall? A. It’s the most visited tourist attraction. B. It has the longest period of construction. C. It’s famous for its architectural complex. D. It carries 5,000 years of history and culture. 2. What do the Palace Museum and Peking Man Site at Zhoukoudian have in common? A. They were built during the Qing Dynasty. B. UNESCO included them the same year. C. They are particularly favored by architects. D. They show the life of early Paleolithic human. 3. Which site will attract a college student majoring in landscape architecture? A. The Great Wall. B. The Palace Museum. C. Peking Man Site at Zhoukoudian. D. The Summer Palace. B In a generation dominated by digital screens and fast-paced content, the simple act of picking up a book is losing its essence. Fortunately, two Indian college students, Heet Doshi,20, and Om Thakkar, 19, both book enthusiasts who found themselves struggling to find like-minded people, decided to create a space where people could connect, share ideas, and form bonds over their love for books. Thus, “Your Reading Circle” was born in September 2023, a space for passionate readers to gather and share books and stories. Then in early 2024, the co-founders came across the concept of mini-libraries in Perumkulam, a village in Kerala, where three public libraries were set up every few hundred metres to make reading accessible. Inspired by this, they thought of replicating the mode in Ahmedabad to encourage the city’s reading culture further. However, the journey was not smooth. Initially, they had no idea how to get permission to set up libraries in public parks or where to gather books and find funds. But they were determined to bring the idea to life. Eventually, after dedicating a lot of time and efforts, they installed the first library at Parimal Garden. It was centrally located near colleges, drawing people from all age groups. The success of the first library motivated the two, and soon, more parks across Ahmedabad witnessed the arrival of mini-libraries. These libraries are free and accessible to all, more than just places to borrow books. They have turned into centers for conversation, learning, and community-building. The co-founders have noticed that the libraries are playing an important role in promoting the reading culture in parks and gardens. “People who previously spent their time glued to their phones are now picking up books and reading in the parks. I see at least 20 people near the libraries, browsing the books and engaging in discussions,” Heet observes. The libraries have even caught the attention of people outside Ahmedabad. “Individuals from across India, as well as from places like Australia, Canada, and the US, have reached out to express their appreciation for the initiative,” he adds. 4. What does the underlined word “replicating” mean in paragraph 2? A. Modelling on. B. Depending upon. C. Researching into. D. Adjusting to. 5. What was a problem facing the co-founders at the start of the mini-libraries? A. They lacked funding for their project. B. They failed to attract like-minded people. C. They couldn’t afford a space to store books. D. They had no experience in organizing events. 6. How have the mini-libraries contributed to the community? A. They have increased the park attendances. B. They have taken the place of traditional schools. C. They have transformed phone addicts into book lovers. D. They have promoted the interaction and bonding among people. 7. Which of the following best describes the impact of the mini-libraries? A. Short-lived. B. Predictable. C. Far-reaching. D. Unidentifiable. C Mention the 1970s and most people will have an opinion. It will be mixed up with memories of strikes and power cuts in London. Go deeper and there were plenty of pubs and in a world where television was limited to three channels, and cinema chains that often changed their programs twice weekly. Best of all, though, was live music. Every town had its established venue for touring bands but London enjoyed a number of smaller locations that hosted rock, folk or jazz acts several nights a week. Many of these were Irish owned or managed, and part of a tradition where providing live music was part and parcel of running a pub. In fact, there were an awful lot of bands and singers you could see on a regular basis within 25 miles of London. Even better, admission was free in many of the smaller venues. The concentration of so much of this in such a small geographical area was a comparatively recent development, and can be traced to the impact the 1973 oil price rise had on the record industry. Against the background of the strikes and power cuts that everyone experienced, would-be rock stars found that touring up and down the UK in a van and staying overnight in hotels suddenly became extremely expensive. It was hardly surprising that bands concentrated on venues closer to home to lower traveling and accommodation costs. There were other factors at work too. It’s worth remembering that the London of the 1970s was a city with a constantly declining population. There were many empty houses as well as local authority flats that were “hard to let”. And commercial space too, which meant plenty of recording and rehearsing(排练) studios. Forget the negative comments of the 1970s, the strikes and power cuts. We should celebrate the sounds that came out of the pubs half a century ago as part of our rich musical heritage. 8. What is the purpose of paragraph 1? A. To recall the memories of London. B. To show the unstable life in London. C. To introduce the emergence of live music. D. To reveal the severe situation of people’s life. 9. Why did many bands perform in venues closer to their homes? A. To reach a larger audience. B. To avoid strikes and power cuts. C. To take advantage of free admission. D. To reduce travel and accommodation costs. 10. What contributed to the concentration of live music venues in London? A. The decline in commercial space. B. The abundance of empty houses. C. The popularity of television channels. D. The lack of cheap accommodation. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. The rise of London’s live music in the 1970s. B. The history of the development of London. C. The contributions London made to music. D. The views of London in the 1970s. D You can talk to an AI chatbot about pretty much anything, from help with daily tasks to the problems you may need to solve. Its answers reflect the human data that taught it how to act like a person; but how human-like are the latest chatbots, really? As people turn to AI chatbots for more of their Internet needs, and the bots get incorporated into more applications from shopping to health care, a team of researchers sought to understand how AI chatbots reproduce human empathy, which is the ability to understand and share another person’s feelings. A study led by UC Santa Cruz Professor Magy Seif El-Nasr and Stanford University Researcher Mahnaz Roshanaei, explores how AI chatbots evaluate and perform empathy. To do so, the researchers asked both a group of humans and AI chatbots to read short stories of human positive and negative, and rate their empathy toward each story on a scale of 1 to 5, and compared the responses. The stories came from real human experiences, which were made completely anonymous (匿名的). They also had AI chatbots perform the same rating task after being informed about a set of features including gender, perspective, or similarity of experiences. Overall, the researchers found that when it comes to offering an emotional response, AI chatbots are overly empathetic, particularly in response to sad stories. “They are very emotional in terms of negative feelings, and they try to be very nice,” Roshanaei said. “But when a person talks about very positive events happening to them, AI chatbots don’t seem to care.” This over-empathizing situation was also present when they are told that the person they were chatting to was a female. “It’s happening because the data comes from humans, and humans have biases toward other humans,” Roshanaei explained. This acts as a warning that the technology is not quite ready to be used with sensitive populations such as teenagers, or those with mental health conditions. “This shows that even though AI is amazing, it still has a lot of big gaps in comparison to humans,” Roshanaei said. 12. Why did the researchers conduct the study? A. To test the reliability of AI chatbots. B. To explore the potential of AI chatbots. C. To figure out how understanding AI chatbots are. D. To compare the intelligence of AI chatbots and humans. 13. How may AI chatbots most likely respond to an uplifting story? A. Express intense excitement. B. Call the story’s realness into question. C. Display minimal emotional engagement. D. Ask follow-up questions about specific details. 14. What is Roshanaei’s attitude toward current AI technology? A. Critical. B. Objective. C. Optimistic. D. Unconcerned. 15. What’s the best title for the text? A. Emotional AI Begins to Catch on. B. AI Chatbots Struggle with Empathy. C. How AI Chatbots Reform Healthcare. D Why AI Chatbots Surpass Humans in Empathy. 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。 As environmental concerns grow, having an environmentally friendly home is becoming increasingly important to many people. ___16___?

Every Tuesday afternoon, in a small classroom behind the school library, students gathered for something called “Words Unspoken”. It was advertised as a poetry club, but it was more than that. It was run by Ms. Carter, the school counselor, who also happened to be a published poet. At first, no one really knew what to expect. Samantha hadn’t planned on joining. She preferred staying invisible. She had been in low spirits ever since she didn’t do well in the exams. She had mastered silence. Words, especially spoken ones, felt powerless for her. But when Ms. Carter handed her a flyer with a gentle smile and said that there was no pressure and that it was just a space to write, something in her stirred (被唤起). On the first day, there were only six students. Some were theater kids, and others looked like they belonged on the soccer field. Samantha almost turned around at the door, but Ms. Carter’s soft voice pulled her in. “We’re not here to be perfect,” she said. “We’re here to be honest.” That first session, Ms. Carter asked them to write a poem beginning with the words “I am…”. Samantha stared at the page. Her hand trembled. After twenty minutes, all she had written was: “I am tired of pretending I’m okay.” She didn’t read it aloud, and she didn’t need to. Just writing it made her chest feel a little lighter. Each week, the group explored different types of poetry—free verse, haiku and cinquain. They wrote about everything: the ache of being misunderstood, the quiet joy of a sunny morning, the happiness of being praised by the teachers and so on. There were no grades, no judgment—just pages and pens and voices finding their rhythm. For Samantha, poetry therapy became a lifeline. She began to carry a small notebook everywhere. On the bus, she’d write about the way the clouds mirrored her thoughts. Slowly, the silence inside her began to change. Instead of feeling empty, it started to fill with words. 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。 One Tuesday afternoon, Ms. Carter invited them to write a poem titled “The Person I’m Becoming”. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When Samantha finished reading her poem, there was a burst of applause. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 高二期末教学质量检测 英语 注意事项： 1．答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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。 1．What did the man do yesterday?

She thought, “This time that I must write the poem as soon as possible, reading it aloud in front of my classmates.” In reality, what she was eager to become was a writer like Ms. Carter. Afterwards, she held her pen, beginning to write her own poem. Approximately 20 minutes later, Samantha completed the writing. Suddenly a bright light streamed through the window, flooding the opening and spreading in a wide circle on the ceiling, which seemed to inspire her. She jumped to her feet, and walked to Ms. Carter, asking politely, “Can I read my poem?” Ms. Carter nodded with a smile. When Samantha finished reading, there was a burst of applause. It was the first time that she had been well recognized by the classmates. Moreover, Ms. Carter hugged her excitedly, saying, “Well done, my kid. I am glad you are becoming a writer. In the future you will become an outstanding writer.” Several years later, Samantha attained her dream. She owed her success to my Ms. Carter who is a beacon in her life on the road to writing. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
