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.

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.

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 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. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要叙述了在美国前途无量的施一公，因为无法割舍的爱国之情，毅然告别美国，回到中国，为祖国服务，实现自己的中国梦。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“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.(回国后，他投入了所有的精力，疯狂地工作，决心做一件大事。他组建了一个生命科学研究小组。他每天在实验室里工作12到16个小时)”可知，施一公回中国是为了为祖国服务。故选D项。 【5题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段“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.(在美国，他前途无量。36岁时，他成为普林斯顿大学分子生物系历史上最年轻的教授，因为他的学术成就。40岁时，他成为普林斯顿大学的终身教授)”及第三段“When everything seemed perfect and admirable to others(当一切在别人看来似乎都是完美和令人钦佩的时候)”可知，施一公在美国有着非凡的学术成就，并最终成为普林斯顿大学的终身教授，有着完美的令人钦佩的生活，可推断他告别的是美国 “富足的”生活，affluent意为“富足的”。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“He is Shi Yigong, nicknamed ‘Da Niu’ (someone with extraordinary achievements) by Tsinghua students.(他就是施一公，被清华大学的学生戏称为‘大牛’（有着非凡成就的人）)”可知，他的学生给他取名“大牛”是为了显示他非凡的成就。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“‘So far as I’m concerned, awards are of no special meaning.’ Shi says calmly.(‘在我看来，奖项没有什么特别的意义。’ 施一公平静地说)”可知，施一公并不在乎自己获得的奖项，也就是不在乎奖项所代表的名声。故选A项。 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. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。研究表明玩耍时间可以让我们更好地准备面对意想不到的事情和解决问题。 8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“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.(孩子们玩耍的动机是什么孩子的一个显著特征是他们喜欢玩耍。他们绕着圈跑，撞到东西，在水坑里跳——没有任何目的，只是为了好玩。)”可知，孩子们玩耍的动机是游戏本身的纯粹乐趣。故选A。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段“But play isn’t just a way to let off steam and reduce stress. (但玩耍不仅仅是一种let off steam和减压的方式。)”可知，and前后并列的意思相近，reduce stress“减少压力”，意思就是relieve negative emotions.表示“缓解负面情绪”。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“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. (但是它的进化目的是什么呢？最可能的科学解释是，玩耍教会我们如何应对意外情况。世界是不可预测的，为了生存，我们需要适应新的情况。)”可知，游戏的进化目的让我们为未知的未来做好准备。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“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.(在一天中安排娱乐时间对提高工作效率很重要。游戏是一种基本的情感系统，在儿童发展和成人创造力中都是必不可少的。研究还表明，它能提高工作满意度、智谋和创新能力。更重要的是，当你面对新的挑战时，游戏可以拓宽你的经验，让我们准备好应对意想不到的事情。)”可知，游戏可以通过多种方式有益于个人生活。故选D。 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. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要围绕人们向ChatGPT等AI聊天机器人寻求心理健康支持这一现象，探讨AI是否具备真正的同理心，以及其与人类情感支持的差异。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“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.(有一天，我把自己所有的烦躁情绪都输入了ChatGPT，它立刻回复了我，并给出了一系列实用的建议。如今，数百万人已经开始向ChatGPT和聊天机器人寻求便捷且廉价的心理健康支持)”以及下文围绕AI是否能提供真正的情感支持、是否具备同理心展开的讨论可知，作者以自己的经历开篇，目的是引出本文的核心话题——人们向AI寻求情感支持及相关争议。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“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.(最近一项关于同理心的分析研究了1980年至2019年间发表的52项研究，结果表明，表现出同理心的人首先必须能够识别他人的感受)”可知，这项近期的分析显示，同理心始于对他人情感的识别。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“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.(在第一点上，近年来，人工智能驱动的聊天机器人在读取人类情感的能力上取得了进步，其中大多数由大型语言模型（LLMs）驱动，这些模型通过基于训练数据预测哪些单词最有可能一起出现来工作。通过这种方式，像ChatGPT这样的大型语言模型似乎能够识别我们的感受，并在大多数情况下做出适当的回应)”可知，AI能够基于训练数据进行预测，从而识别情感并给出回应，即提供数据驱动的反馈。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“But others worry about the consequences of people seeking emotional support from machines that can only pretend to care.(但也有人担心，人们向那些只能假装关心的机器寻求情感支持会带来后果)”以及最后一段中的“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.(归根结底，尽管在网上和多个聊天机器人聊过天，但我还是做了我一直知道必须做的事：拿起手机给朋友打了个电话)”可推断，作者认为ChatGPT的关心是假装的、人工的，无法替代人类真实的情感支持。故选D项。 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). Most markets have this sugar, but it may not always be clearly labeled. 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. So in consideration of the cost-saving characteristics, beets are an attractive alternative to sugarcane. ____19____ The first step involves washing and cutting up the beets, followed by passing them through a machine that forces hot water past the beet pieces. 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. So beet sugar sometimes can replace sugarcane sugar. A. Beets can be easily processed. B. But its source may be actually beets. C. The taste of cooked food is quite similar D. 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. Therefore, beet sugar processing factories began to be built in Europe. 【答案】16. B 17. G 18. F 19. D 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍甜菜作为糖的重要来源，其种植历史、相较于甘蔗的优势、制糖流程以及甜菜糖与蔗糖的使用差异。 【16题详解】 根据上文“You may think the white sugar you just bought is made from sugarcane (甘蔗),(你可能会认为你刚买的白砂糖是用甘蔗制成的，)”可知，此处应体现转折，说明实际来源可能并非甘蔗，而是甜菜，与前文“it may not always be clearly labeled”相呼应。B选项“But its source may be actually beets.(但它的来源实际上可能是甜菜)”中的its指代上文的the white sugar，通过but实现转折，衔接自然，符合语境。故选B项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“However, it was not until the 16th century that beets’ potential as a source of sugar was realized.(然而，直到16世纪，甜菜作为糖源的潜力才被发现)”以及下文“Later, they slowly spread to America.(后来，它们慢慢传播到了美洲)”可知，此处应体现甜菜制糖在欧洲的发展，承接上文的潜力被发现，引出下文向美洲的传播。G选项“Therefore, beet sugar processing factories began to be built in Europe.(因此，甜菜糖加工厂开始在欧洲建立)”中的therefore承接上文“潜力被发现”的结果，in Europe与下文spread to America形成地域上的先后顺序，符合语境。故选G项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“One key advantage of using beets for sugar is that compared to sugarcane, beets can be planted in cooler regions.(用甜菜制糖的一个关键优势是，与甘蔗相比，甜菜可以在较凉爽的地区种植)”以及下文“Beet sugar is also easier to produce, just requiring very basic processing.(甜菜糖也更容易生产，只需要非常基础的加工)”可知，此处应继续阐述甜菜制糖的优势，与上文的one key advantage呼应。F选项“Besides, beets are tougher and able to grow on land of poor quality.(此外，甜菜更坚韧，能够在质量较差的土地上生长)”中的besides承接上文的优势，补充了甜菜的另一个种植优势，与下文的生产优势形成并列，符合语境。故选F项。 【19题详解】 根据下文“The first step involves washing and cutting up the beets, followed by passing them through a machine that forces hot water past the beet pieces. 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...(第一步是清洗和切碎甜菜，然后将它们送入一台机器，让热水流过甜菜块。然后将得到的汁液与从甜菜中挤出的液体混合。接着将混合物加热，得到一种粘稠的甜味液体。最后，对这种液体进行进一步加工以获得甜菜糖……)”可知，本段核心围绕甜菜制糖的具体步骤展开，此处应引出“如何制作甜菜糖”这一话题。D选项“Let’s look at how exactly to make beet sugar.(让我们来看看究竟如何制作甜菜糖)”点明本段主旨，引出下文的步骤描述，符合语境。故选D项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Beet sugar and sugarcane sugar can be used equally in cooking.(甜菜糖和蔗糖在烹饪中可以同等使用)”以及下文“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.(虽然有些人能分辨出差异，但很多人无法分辨糖果是用甜菜糖还是蔗糖制作的)”可知，此处应体现两者在烹饪后的口感相似，才能解释“同等使用”和“难以分辨”的原因。C选项“The taste of cooked food is quite similar.(烹饪后的食物口感非常相似)”承接上文的“同等使用”，呼应下文的“难以分辨”，符合语境。故选C项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给四个选项A、B、C和D中，选出可以填入空表处的最佳选项。 The polar bear was a tiny point in a frozen white world.

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. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version Then, she slowly put it down with a look of disappointment after seeing the price. Letting out a sigh, she walked away, her eyes still lingering on it. I could tell how much she loved it but I knew she wouldn’t buy. Determined to give her a surprise, I waited until she was out of sight and quickly made the purchase My heart beat fast as I thought about what a surprise this would be on Christmas morning. With the figurine in my bag, I went home with my family. I placed it under the tree and waited eagerly for Christmas morning. The day finally came. My siblings and I tore into the treats and treasures our parents had lovingly put inside stockings and brightly wrapped packages. Then we began presenting gifts to parents. When my mom unwrapped my gift, she recognized the figurine instantly, and her face lit up with surprise and joy. She turned to me and hugged me tightly with tears in her eyes. Seeing her happy made me realize the joy of giving. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者为母亲挑选圣诞礼物的过程，展现了作者对母亲的爱与感激之情，以及赠予带来的快乐。 【详解】1.段落续写：①由第一段首句内容“随后，她看了一眼价格后，失望地缓缓将它放下了。”以及第二段首句内容“我把它放在了树下，然后满怀期待地等待着圣诞节的清晨”可知，第一段可描写作者悄悄买下了这个小雕像。 ②由第二段首句内容“我把它放在了树下，然后满怀期待地等待着圣诞节的清晨。”可知，第二段可描写作者的妈妈看到这个礼物后非常惊讶和高兴。 2.续写线索： 看到价格后，作者的妈妈又放下了这个小雕像离开了——作者趁此机会，赶紧买下了小雕像——作者将小雕像放在了圣诞树下——圣诞节那天，作者的妈妈打开作者的礼物后，立刻认出了小雕像——妈妈非常惊讶，同时也很感动，紧紧抱住了作者——看到妈妈如此开心，作者也感到很开心 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①购买：purchase/make a purchase ②意识到：realize/be conscious of ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment/amazement ②高兴：joy/happiness 【点睛】【高分句型1】My heart beat fast as I thought about what a surprise this would be on Christmas morning.(运用了as引导的时间状语从句和what引导的宾语从句) 【高分句型2】When my mom unwrapped my gift, she recognized the figurine instantly, and her face lit up with surprise and joy.(运用了when引导的时间状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 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?

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), 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.

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.

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. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
