The AJ Hackett Macao Tower Bungee Jump is 233 meters high, making it a Guinness World Record as the highest commercial bungee jump in the world. Grab this chance and tick off this item on your bucket list. Grab a traditional Portuguese dinner Macao was colonized by Portugal before 1999. As a result, Portuguese culture is deeply immersed into many corners of Macao. Many Portuguese settled and opened Portuguese restaurants in the special administrative region, but the flavor is more adaptable to Chinese people. One of the must-try local foods in Macao is the Portuguese egg tart. Visit a museum Macao, as a tiny little city with only an area of 30.5 square kilometers, has 23 eye-catching museums. Due to its unique history, both Eastern and Western historical sites can be found. Many of them are preserved for cultural heritage, tourist spots or museums, such as the Grand Prix Museum, Maritime Museum and Wine Museum. Pop into a casino Well known as the “Las Vegas of the Orient”, Macao has 33 casinos. Among all, the Venetian is the most popular. With a huge shopping mall and gorgeous Vegas-style design, it is a must-go spot for both tourists and locals who want to enjoy leisure time. Selfie at the Ruins of St. Paul The Ruins of St. Paul is the signature landmark of Macao. The ruins consist of the St. Paul’s College and the Church of St. Paul, built in 1583. However, after three intense fires in 1595, 1601 and 1835, the church was seriously damaged. Miraculously, after the vigorous cycles of rebuilding and fires, the hugefaçade (正面) and the front stairway remain unburned. Watch the Macao Grand Prix The Macao Grand Prix is a major worldwide car-racing event held annually, featuring over 300 top drivers every year. Racing through the small streets and roads over this tiny city, the Macao Grand Prix circuit is the only street circuit racing in the world for car and motorcycle events. Thus, it is also well-known as one of the world’s most demanding circuits. The Grand Prix runs annually in November every year for about four days. 1. Why is Macao Tower well-known to adventurers? A.

In which column of China Daily can you read this passage? A. Economy & Finance. B. International News. C. Science & Technology D. Culture & Lifestyle B “I want to work full-time in China, honey.” An overseas call awakened the wife from sound sleep. “Why?” asked the wife with surprise, in a drowsy voice, from the other side of the ocean. In the United States, he had a great future ahead. At the age of 36, he became the youngest professor in the history of the Department of Molecular Biology at Princeton University, for his academic achievements. At 40, he became a tenured(终身的) chair professor at Princeton. When everything seemed perfect and admirable to others, he firmly decided to say goodbye to Princeton University, to an affluent life in the United States, and return to China. The news spread explosively. Many expressed confusions; many tried to persuade him; many made fun of him; and still many waited to have a good laugh at him. He said patriotism is the plainest feeling of a person. Who doesn’t love his motherland, after all? In his heart, the American dream is already something past; the Chinese dream is rising. After returning to China, he devoted all his energy, worked like crazy, and determined to do something big. He formed a life science research team. Every day, he works 12 to 16 hours at his laboratory. He is Shi Yigong, nicknamed “Da Niu” (someone with extraordinary achievements) by Tsinghua students. His given name, Yigong, comes from an idiom that means “devoted to public interest whole-heartedly”. “So far as I’m concerned, awards are of no special meaning.” Shi says calmly. In his 18 years of study in the United States, he never forgot his Chinese dream. In the next 18 years, the Chinese dream will be more beautiful and greater by the efforts of Shi Yigong and the likes of him. 4. Why was Shi determined to return to China? A. To look for a better career. B. To reunite with his wife. C. To live a quieter life. D. To serve his motherland. 5. What does the underlined word “affluent” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Busy. B. Miserable. C. Wealthy. D. Adventurous. 6. Why is Shi Yigong called “Da Niu” by his Tsinghua students? A. To show his unusual achievements. B. To support his life science research. C. To introduce his endless energy in work. D. To praise his honesty. 7. What can we know about Shi Yigong? A. He doesn’t care much about reputation. B. He is the youngest professor in history. C. His decision was well-received. D. His Chinese dream will be realized in 18 years. C One of the defining characteristics of children is that they play. They run around in circles, crash with things, and jump in puddles — not with any purpose in mind, but simply for the fun of it. And that’s exactly how psychologists define play: as a self-directed, intrinsically (内在地) motivated activity with no purpose outside the activity itself. Play is what we do just for the joy of it. In children, play is seen as normal and natural, and as a powerful way to learn. But as we grow up, we come to see play as unnecessary. We may fault ourselves for playing when we could be getting things done. At best, we see play as reward for a long day’s work, a means to uplift ourselves or a way to relax before diving back into the troubles of our everyday lives. But play isn’t just a way to let off steam and reduce stress. Fitting playtime into your day is important for working productivity. Play is a basic emotional system, essential in both child development and adult creativity. Studies also show that it increases job satisfaction, resourcefulness and innovation. More importantly, play prepares us to tackle the unexpected by broadening the breadth of experiences you have to draw from when meeting new challenges. What separates play from real life is the lack of risks. Play provides a safe environment to learn cognitive (认知的), motor and social skills and to make mistakes without serious consequences. When a soldier on the battlefield tries to avoid enemy fire, it may cause them psychological damage because their life is on the line. But if you do the same movement in a game, you’re probably having a good time. Like other basic drives such as eating, play is pleasurable. But what evolutionary purpose does it serve? The most possible scientific explanation is that play teaches us how to address the unexpected. The world is unpredictable, and to survive, we need to adapt to new situations. Play is a way of experimenting with various combinations to see what works and developing flexible responses to unforeseen events. We’re not born with an understanding of how the world works. Play is how we figure it out. 8. What is the motivation for children to play? A. The pure joy of playing itself. B. Their keen interest in everything. C. Their desire to challenge themselves. D. The working productivity they receive form playing. 9. What do the underlined words “let off steam” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Get fresh experience. B. Brave the difficulties. C. Relieve negative emotions. D. Become powerful gradually. 10. What is the evolutionary purpose of play? A. To improve adults’ creativity. B. To prepare us for the unknown future. C. To help with the psychological damage. D. To boost children’s cognitive development. 11. What can we learn about play from this passage? A. Play comes to be the best source of entertainment. B. Play promotes creativity and exploration in us all. C. Play serves little practical purpose in evolution. D. Play benefits personal lives in numerous ways. D One day I typed into ChatGPT all about my upset feelings and it at once responded, offering a list of practical advice. Nowadays millions of people are already turning to ChatGPT and chatbots (聊天机器人) for convenient and inexpensive mental health support. Some experts say this is a blessing. After all, AI, not influenced by embarrassment and burnout, might be able to express empathy (同理心) more openly and tirelessly than humans. But others worry about the consequences of people seeking emotional support from machines that can only pretend to care. Some even wonder if the rise of so-called empathetic AI might change the way we interact with one another. Indeed, empathy is one of our species’ defining qualities, developing as it did in pace with social interaction. One recent analysis about empathy looked at 52 studies published between 1980 and 2019, which shows that the person who shows empathy must first be able to recognize how the other person is feeling. They must also be affected by those emotions and differentiate between themselves and the other person, understanding that the other person’s feelings aren’t their own while still being able to imagine their experience. On the first point, in recent years, AI-powered chatbots have made progress in their ability to read human emotions, most powered by large language models (LLMs) that work by predicting which words are most likely to appear together based on training data. In this way, LLMs like ChatGPT can seemingly identify our feelings and respond appropriately most of the time. But when it comes to the other standards, AI still misses the mark in many ways. All of this helps to explain conversations like the ones I had with ChatGPT. At the end of the day, in spite of talking to multiple chatbots online, I did what I knew I had to do all along: I picked up my phone and called a friend. 12. What is the function of the writer’s example in the first paragraph? A. To question the use of AI. B. To attract readers to read. C. To introduce the topic of the passage. D. To suggest the theme of the passage. 13. What does the recent analysis show about empathy? A. It calls for clear communication. B. It starts with emotional recognition. C. It rules out individual difference. D. It depends on rich imagination. 14. What can AI do according to paragraph 4? A. Provide data-driven feedback. B. Recognize one’s real desire. C. Update large language models. D. Predict one’s behavior. 15. What does the author think of ChatGPT? A. Its development should be sped up. B. Its intelligence is winning more favor. C. Its application should be strictly managed. D. Its artificial kindness is no match for humans. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A large part of the world’s total sugar supply comes from beets (甜菜).

You may think the white sugar you just bought is made from sugarcane (甘蔗), ____16____ Beets have been an important crop in human agriculture for centuries, with evidence of their planting dating back to ancient civilizations in Europe. However, it was not until the 16th century that beets’ potential as a source of sugar was realized. ____17____ Later, they slowly spread to America. One key advantage of using beets for sugar is that compared to sugarcane, beets can be planted in cooler regions. ____18____ Beet sugar is also easier to produce, just requiring very basic processing.

The resulting juice is then combined with liquids squeezed from the beets. The mixture is then heated, leading to a thick, sweet liquid. Finally, the liquid is further processed to obtain beet sugar, which is chemically nearly the same with sugarcane sugar. Beet sugar and sugarcane sugar can be used equally in cooking. ____20____ While some people are able to tell a difference, many others can’t tell whether a candy has been made with beet sugar or sugarcane sugar.

Let’s look at how exactly to make beet sugar. E. In most cases, people tend to eat sugarcane sugar. F. Besides, beets are tougher and able to grow on land of poor quality. G.

My mom was no exception. She brought us to Union Station to help us buy Christmas presents for each other, and for her. Because of Mom, my siblings (兄弟姐妹) and I would get to experience the joy of giving. I wanted to find her something special. The pleasant smell of chocolates reached my nose and I wanted to stay. Normally, when we came here, the candy makers were what I wanted to see most, but today I had a mission. So we walked on. We explored many stores selling jewelry, purses, toys, clothing and treats, but nothing caught my eye. I just wanted something unique for Mom. I didn’t know what, but I knew I would recognize it when I saw it. All of a sudden there it was, the perfect gift for her! On one of the stands sat a figurine (小塑像) of a lion and a lamb lying down together. It would go well with a drawing of a similar scene Mom had hung on the wall. I had heard her talk about how long she had owned the picture and who had drawn it for her. I knew it was very special. I turned the figurine over to check the price and yes, it was expensive as was expected, but I could afford it! I had saved some extra money in my pocket from babysitting the neighbor kids, so I had more money than what Mom had given me. But she was standing nearby. No way could I make the purchase without her knowing. A moment later, she noticed the very same figurine. I watched her eyes light up. She picked it up and turned it over. 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。 Then, she slowly put it down with a look of disappointment after seeing the price. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I placed it under the Christmas tree and waited eagerly for Christmas morning. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 石家庄二中西校区2025-2026学年度第一学期期末模拟考试 高一年级英语学科试题 （时间：120分钟，分值：150分） 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?

Seeing her happy made me realize the joy of giving. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
