Four things that you can't miss in Macao
1. Macao Tower AJ Hackett Bungee Jump
The Macao Tower, 338 meters tall, is the world's 10th highest tower, with different activities, such as gambling, eating and entertainment.
One of the most welcomed activities is the bungee jump. The AJ Hackett Macao Tower Bungee Jump is 233 meters high, making it a Guinness World Record as the highest bungee jump in the world. Persuade yourself to have a try!
2. Grab a traditional Portuguese dinner
Macao was colonized（殖民化）by Portugal before 1999. As a result, Portuguese culture deeply influenced many comers. Many Portuguese settled and opened Portuguese restaurants in the special region, but the flavor is more adaptable to Chinese people.
3. Enjoy a Portuguese egg tart(葡式蛋挞)
One of the must-try local foods in Macao is the Portuguese egg tart. This dessert is different from the traditional Cantonese egg tart(广式蛋挞). One of the visible differences is the slightly burned caramel top. Among all bakeries selling Portuguese egg tarts, tourists prefer to go to Lord Stow's Bakery in Coloane.
4. Visit a museum
Macao, as a 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(保留) for cultural heritage, tourist spots or museums, such as the Grand Prix Museum, Maritime Museum and Wine Museum.
21. If you are fond of bungee jump, where can you enjoy it
A. St. Paul’s College B. Wine Palace
C. Macao Tower D. Stow’s Bakery
22. Which is the visible difference beteween Portuguese egg tart and Cantonese egg tart

On James Owen’s 70th birthday, he saw a video of himself walking with difficulty up to the stage where he was giving a talk. “I looked like an old man,” says Owen, who built a successful career on Wall Street.
He was about 25 pounds overweight and had chronic trouble with his back, knees, and shoulders. But instead of giving in to age, Owen decided to set an ambitious five-year goal: He wanted to be pain-free, and he decided the way to get there was through exercise—even though at the time he couldn’t do a single push-up.
Owen began his new exercise regimen（养生计划）by walking, though he became out of breath after five minutes. But that didn’t discourage him. He kept at the walks every day, along with some stretching. Once he had those basics done, he started weight lifting and hired a personal trainer to teach him and to design a routine he could follow on his own. The last piece was finding other activities he enjoyed, which turned out to be cycling and swimming.
In less than five years, Owen was able to do three sets of 50 push-ups each and walk for miles each day. And yes, he was free of aches and pains.
Owen used his experience to write a book called Just Move! A New Approach to Fitness After 50, in which he details how older adults can safely get off the couch and add more movement to their lives. The key: getting started, even if you walk just three blocks, which was all he could manage at first. “Think of it as movement, not exercise,” he says. “The key is slow and steady progress.”
Now 81 and retired, Owen exercises an hour a day, six days a week. “It is the best investment I’ve ever made in my life,” he says.
24. Why did Owen make up his mind to do exercise
A. To celebrate his 70th birthday. B. To get rid of his physical pain.
C. To write a book about exercise. D. To find a hobby after retirement.
25. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. The exercise he preferred to do. B. The routine his trainer designed for him.
C. The difficulty he met during exercise. D. The process he undertook to keep fit.
26. What advice did Owen give to the people after 50 in his book
A. They should invest on Wall Street. B. They should only do some slow exercise.
C. They should do exercise step by step. D. They should exercise an hour a day
27. what does the underline word “investment” in the last paragraph mean
A. Input B. Money C. Solution D. Impression
C
By the age of seven months, most children have learned that objects still exist even when they are out of sight. But it is something that self-driving cars do not have. And that is a problem. For a self-driving car, a bicycle that is momentarily hidden by a passing truck is a bicycle that has disappeared. How to give AI the reasoning ability for a seven-month-old child is now a matter of active research.
Modern AI is based on the idea of machine learning. If an engineer wants a computer to recognize a stop sign, he does not try to write thousands of lines of code that describe every pattern of pixels（像素）which could possibly indicate such a sign. Instead, he writes a program that can learn for itself, and then shows that program thousands of pictures of stop signs. Over many repetitions, the program gradually works out what features all of these pictures have in common.
Similar techniques are used to train self-driving cars to operate in traffic. But they do not understand many things a human driver takes for granted. In a recent paper in Artificial Intelligence, Mehul Bhatt of Orebro University in Sweden, describes a different approach. He and his colleagues took some existing AI programs which are used by self-driving cars and bolted onto them a piece of software. In tests, if one car momentarily blocked the sight of another, the reasoning-enhanced software could keep track of the blocked car, predict where and when it would reappear, and take steps to avoid it if necessary. The improvement was not huge. On standard tests Dr Bhatt’s system scored about 5% better than existing software.
However, the question goes beyond self-driving cars to the future of AI itself. “I don’t think we’re taking the right approach right now,” Dr Marcus, who studies psychology and neural science at New York University, says, “It’s not actually the answer to AI. We haven’t really solved the intelligence problem.” One way or another, then, it seems seven-month-olds still have a lot to teach machines.
28. Why does the author mention seven-month-old children in the first paragraph
A. To explain a rule. B. To prove a theory.
C. To make a prediction. D. To lead to a topic.
29. How does the author explain “machine learning” in paragraph 2
A. By using data. B. By listing facts.
C. By introducing a concept. D. By giving an example.
30. What do we know about Dr Bhatt’s system
A. It improves self-driving cars greatly.
B. It makes self-driving cars safer than before.
C. It has the intelligence of a seven-month-old child.
D. It uses the same method as previous machine learning.
31. What is Dr Marcus’s attitude to the present situation of AI
A. Dissatisfied. B. Favorable. C. Uninterested. D. Unclear.
D
Climate change leads to a threat to the world’s sandy beaches, and as many as half of them could disappear by 2100, a new study has found. Even by 2050 some coastlines could be unrecognizable from what we see today, with 10% to 12% facing severe erosion (侵蚀).
Using updated sea level rise predictions, the researchers analyzed how beaches around the world would be in a future with higher seas and more damaging storms. They also considered natural processes like wave erosion, as well as human factors—like coastal building developments, all of which can affect a beach’s health. The study found that sea level rise is expected to outweigh these other factors, and that the more heat-trapping gases humans put into the atmosphere, the worse the influences on the world’s beaches are likely to be.
It’s hard to overstate just how important the world’s beaches are. They cover more than one third of the world’s coastlines, and protect coastal areas from storms. Beaches are also important economic engines, supporting relaxation, tourism and other activities. And in some areas, the beach is more than a vacation destination. In places like Australia, life near the coast revolves around the beach for much of the year.
Some of the world’s most popular beaches are already taking action. Places like Miami Beach are trucking in thousands of tons of sand to patch up (修复) badly eroded shorelines, while others have built sea walls and breakwaters in an attempt to hold precious sand in place. But the financial and environmental costs of these projects are huge, and scientists say rising seas and more powerful storms, supercharged by a warmer climate, will make this a losing battle.
However, the researchers did find that humans have some control over what happens to the world’s beaches. If the world’s governments are able to stick to modest cuts to heat-tapping gas pollution, the researchers found that 22% of projected beach losses by 2050 could be prevented, a number that grows to 40% by 2100 if greenhouse gases are limited.
32. Which is the biggest contributor to severe beach erosion
A. Sea level rise. B. Damaging storms.
C. Wave erosion. D. Coastal building.
33. What can we infer from Paragraph 3
A. Most Australians live on beach tourism.
B. It is hard to protect coastal beaches.
C. One third of storms take place near beaches.
D. Beaches are of great significance to our lives.
34. People use various methods to protect beaches except ________.
A. Building breakwaters to keep sand in place.
B. Trucking in thousands of tons of sand to repair eroded shorelines.
C. Developing coastal buildings.
D. Building sea walls to hold sand in place.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Climate change is doing harm to our lives.
B. Half beaches could disappear by 2100.
C. Governments are taking action to fight wave erosion.
D. The beach is more than a vacation destination.

Many friendships go through tough times, but a difficult fight may leave your relationship beyond repair. However, if you really care about this person, it will be worth the effort to fix a broken friendship. 36
Be the first one to reach out. If you aren’t talking to each other, someone will have to make the first move. Let it be you this time! 37 You need to try a few different ways to reach them.
38 Explain what you feel is the problem and be honest about it. Then ask them to do the same. Really listen and don’t cut in. This way, you both get to tell your side of the story and get everything out on the table.
Apologize（道歉）to them and accept their apology. Even if you didn’t do anything and you believe the situation is their fault, opening with an apology sets the tone. You could say, “I’m really sorry that things have gotten to this point. 39 ” If you did something wrong, apologize to them frankly. If they apologize to you, accept their apology kindly.
Take things slowly. If you and your best friend had a major falling out, hanging out every day after school as you used to do probably isn’t the healthiest way to rebuild things. 40
This will give you both time to heal and rebuild your friendship together.
A. Communicate about the problem honestly and openly.
B. It shows that you’re serious about settling things.
C. Examine the way you treat each other.
D. The following tips will help you know how to make it.
E. I want things to be better between us.
F. Instead, you should start slowly with occasional hangouts or phone calls.
G. Thus, you should stop making an argument and trust your friend.

M: Hi, I’m Chris from Florida. Last year, I moved to London, where I’m working for an American company. It’s been a big change, and there have been lots of things to get used to. For example, in the U.S. we drive on the right, while here in Britain I’ve had to get used to driving on the left.
What else Well, the weather in Florida is usually great, so I’m used to lots of sunshine, and I used to sunbathe a lot. In London it rains so much. I don’t think I’ll ever get used to it, and I always remember to take my umbrella with me.
Food in England is different, too. In America, I used to eat a lot of Mexican food. Here in England, people love Indian food, so I’m getting used to the different tastes. At the company where I work, it’s quite different. I used to work from 9 a.m. till 11 p.m. I hated working so late. Here in England, I start at 8:30 a.m., but finish at 5 p.m. On Friday evening English people like to go to the club with friends, but in America I used to go to the gym. I love sports.
Is there anything else Some of the words are different. The subway is called the “underground” in London, and British people call the fall “autumn”.

这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了由于气候的变化尤其是海平面的上升，到2100年，可能有多达一半的沙滩消失，甚至到2050年，一些海岸线也可能无法从我们今天看到的情况中辨认出来，其中10%到12%的海岸线将面临严重的侵蚀。
32. 细节理解题。由第二段中的“They also considered natural processes like wave erosion, as well as human factors—like coastal building developments, all of which can affect a beach’s health. The study found that sea level rise is expected to outweigh these other factors, and that the more heat-trapping gases humans put into the atmosphere, the worse the influences on the world’s beaches are likely to be. (研究人员还考虑了海浪侵蚀等自然过程，以及沿海建筑开发等人为因素，所有这些因素都会影响海滩的健康。研究发现预计海平面上升将超过这些其他因素，而且人类向大气中排放的吸热气体越多，对世界海滩的影响可能就越严重)”可知，海平面上升是造成严重海滩侵蚀的最大因素。故选A项。
33. 推理判断题。由第三段“It’s hard to overstate just how important the world’s beaches are. They cover more than one third of the world’s coastlines, and protect coastal areas from storms. Beaches are also important economic engines, supporting relaxation, tourism and other activities. And in some areas, the beach is more than a vacation destination. In places like Australia, life near the coast revolves around the beach for much of the year. (很难夸大世界海滩的重要性。它们覆盖了世界三分之一以上的海岸线，保护沿海地区免受风暴的侵袭。海滩也是重要的经济引擎，支持休闲、旅游和其他活动。在一些地区，海滩不仅仅是度假目的地。在澳大利亚等地，海岸附近的生活在一年的大部分时间里都围绕着海滩)”可知，从第三段中推断出海滩对我们的生活意义重大。故选D项。
34. 细节理解题。由第四段中的“Places like Miami Beach are rucking in thousands of tons of sand to patch up (修复) badly eroded shorelines, while others have built sea walls and breakwaters in an attempt to hold precious sand in place. (迈阿密海滩等地正在用成千上万吨的沙子修补严重侵蚀的海岸线，而其他一些地方则建造了海堤和防波堤，试图将珍贵的沙子保留在适当的位置)”可知，人们用成千上万吨的沙子修补严重侵蚀的海岸线，建造了海堤和防波堤来保护海滩，并未提及B项“开发沿海建筑”来保护海滩。故选C项。
35. 主旨大意题。由第一段“Climate change leads to a threat to the world’s sandy beaches, and as many as half of them could disappear by 2100, a new study has found. Even by 2050 some coastlines could be unrecognizable from what we see today, with 10% to 12% facing severe erosion (侵蚀). (一项新的研究发现，气候变化对世界沙滩构成威胁，到2100年，多达一半的沙滩可能消失。甚至到2050年，一些海岸线也可能无法从我们今天看到的情况中辨认出来，其中10%到12%面临严重侵蚀)”可知，本文主要讲述了由于气候的变化尤其是海平面的上升，到2100年，可能有多达一半的沙滩会消失，A项“到2100年，一半的海滩可能消失”符合句意。故选B项。

40．根据上句“If you and your best friend had a major falling out, hanging out every day after school as you used to do probably isn’t the healthiest way to rebuild things. ”如果你和你最好的朋友大吵了一架，像你以前那样每天放学后一起出去玩可能不是重建关系的最健康的方式。可知设空处应该提出重建关系的好的方式是什么。故F项：Instead, you should start slowly with occasional hangouts or phone calls.（相反，你应该从偶尔的闲逛或打电话开始慢慢来）。故选F项。

范文
Dear Eric,
I’m glad to know you’re coming to China to travel in the winter vacation. Here are some tips for you during your stay here.
You can take the plane if you travel to a faraway place. By the way, the high-speed railway, which is fast and comfortable, is very popular in China today. While shopping, you can use your credit card or cash. But there’s a new and
interesting way of paying called Alipay or WeChat pay. As for the weather, it’s cold in winter here. So do wear thick and warm clothes. Hotels are easy to find and the Chinese food is distinctive and delicious. I’m sure you will enjoy yourself here.
Looking forward to seeing you soon.
Yours,
Li Hua
