On March 28 and 29, a motorcycle made by ZXMOTO, a Chinese motorcycle brand, won both races at the Portuguese round of the Superbike World Championship (WSBK), a global motorcycle competition.The triumph marks the first time a Chinese motorcycle brand has won this event. It has broken the decades-long dominance of major foreign motorcycle brands such as Italy’s Ducati, Germany’s BMW, and Japan’s “Big Four”.In the WSBK, motorcycles are modified (改装) from mass-produced street bikes, so it is not only a speed competition but also a stage to show companies’ production ability.The winning motorcycle, launched by ZXMOTO this year, has a self-developed engine that allows it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in only 2.8 seconds. Its electronic control system and frame are also independently developed.Zhang Xue, 39, founder of ZXMOTO, has witnessed China’s motorcycle industry growth. He has worked as a mechanic, a rider, and an engineer. In 2013, he began building motorcycles in Chongqing, and founded ZXMOTO in 2024, focusing on independent engine R&D.ZXMOTO’s victory not only realizes Zhang’s dream but also shows the progress of Chinese motorcycle manufacturing, boosting the industry’s confidence and changing the international community’s view on China’s motorcycle sector.4. What can we learn about ZXMOTO’s victory in the Portuguese round of WSBK A. A Chinese motorcycle brand has never won such a competition before.B. It merely shows ZXMOTO’s excellent speed performance of its motorcycles.C. It broke the 20-year-long dominance of foreign motorcycle brands.D.

ZXMOTO’s victory reflects the progress and strength of China’s motorcycle manufacturing.D. The difficulties Chinese motorcycle brands faced in developing high-performance engines before.【答案】4. A 5. B 6. A 7. CCOver the past few weeks, many people in China have started raising “lobster” — and no, not the mouthwatering seafood. Chinese users have adopted this phrase to describe the process of setting up and training an AI agent called OpenClaw, which uses a red lobster as its logo.For some years, we have had generative AI models like ChatGPT. While they are useful, they passively wait for prompts (提示词) to respond. Also, they can tell users what to do, but cannot perform the task for them.OpenClaw, developed by Austrian software engineer and entrepreneur Peter Steinberger, promises to be “the AI that actually does things”, according to its website. It sends emails, manages calendars, books flights, controls smart home devices and more.What truly sets OpenClaw apart is its long-term “memory”. As reported by Computer Network, the AI keeps data even after being closed, enabling it to “remember” past conversations. Over time, it learns your preferences, tracks your projects and sends you proactive (积极主动的) notifications.Such proactiveness is supported by “heartbeat”, a built-in timer that is used regularly. As Claire Vo, chief technology officer of US startup LaunchDarkly, explained on social media platform X, OpenClaw’s “heartbeat” occurs every 30 minutes and can be adjusted by the user. With each tick, the AI wakes up to check for tasks that are ready to run. This enables the AI to continue working without user interaction.However, OpenClaw’s abilities come with serious risks. In February, researchers found over 40,000 instances of OpenClaw online, with more than 60 percent having problems that could allow hackers to gain control, reported CGTN. On March 8 and 10, the Chinese government issued two official alerts — the first-ever warnings specifically about an agentic AI.The risks are made worse by Moltbook, a social network launched in January, where the AI agents share posts with each other, and humans can only observe, reported Forbes. “Although it gained attention for showcasing AI-to-AI interactions, early findings revealed that it exposed entire databases,” Dr Shaanan Cohney from Australia’s University of Melbourne told Forbes.8. What can we learn about generative AI models like ChatGPT from the passage A. They can do tasks actively without prompts.B. They have long-term memory like OpenClaw.C. They wait for prompts to react inactively.D. They can control smart home devices automatically.9. What makes OpenClaw different from other AI A. It needs a browser tab open all the time.B. It has long-term memory and can work proactively.C. It only provides information but does nothing.D. It was developed by a Chinese engineer.10. What is the function of OpenClaw’s “heartbeat” A. It helps the AI remember users’ preferences forever.B. It allows AI agents to share posts with each other.C. It protects users from hackers and security risks.D. It enables the AI to wake up to check tasks every half an hour.11. Why did Chinese government issue official alerts about OpenClaw A. Because it may contribute to severe safety threats.B. Because it is too expensive for ordinary users.C. Because it cannot work well in chat apps.D. Because it has no long-term memory.【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. ADHow does a cow scratch an itch on its back An Austrian cow named Veronika has a solution that could change how we view livestock. For the past decade, Veronika has been observed by her owner occasionally picking up sticks with her mouth, maneuvering the ends to reach areas of her body she can’t otherwise reach.Veronika’s innovative behavior is reported in a new study — the first to describe tool use in a pet cow, according to the researchers. It was published Monday in the journal Current Biology. “What this tells us is that cows have the potential to innovate tool use, and we have ignored this fact for thousands of years,” lead author Antonio J. Osuna-Mascaró said in an email.When the study authors first saw the video of Veronika using a stick to scratch herself, it was clear that the behavior was intentional and not accidental. To test her tool-use capabilities, the researchers performed a series of controlled trials in which they placed a deck brush in front of the cow in various orientations.The researchers found that not only was Veronika displaying true tool use — when a tool serves a functional purpose and allows the subject to extend its own bodily limits — but she had a clear preference for how the tool was used. She would readjust her grip depending on what side of the brush she wanted, what part of her body she was targeting.This is extremely surprising because the only other solid example of multipurpose tool use that we know of belongs to the chimpanzees of the Congo Basin, Osuna-Mascaró said. While chimpanzees have the advantages of hands and opposable thumbs, Veronika still surprised the researchers with the control she had with her mouth.Cows and other highly intelligent and emotional animals are far too often written off as being dumb and lacking emotions. Detailed research shows they are fully sentient (有感觉能力的) beings with very active brains and rich and deep emotional lives.The researchers don’t believe that Veronika is the “Einstein of cows”. It is likely that there are many other cows, bulls and farm animals with this ability that have gone unnoticed. “We know more about the tool use of wild animals on remote islands than we do about the cows we live with,” Osuna-Mascaró said.12. What does the underlined word maneuvering probably mean A. throwing B. breaking C. moving skillfully D. hiding13. According to the researchers, why is Veronika’s behavior considered “true tool use” A. Because she uses the tool to get food.B. Because the tool performs a useful function and go beyond its physical abilitiesC. Because she was trained by her owner to do so.D. Because she uses the tool in the same way chimpanzees use tools with their hands.14. What can be inferred from the study about cows A. They are less intelligent than most exotic animals.B. They have been underestimated in terms of intelligence.C. They can use tools with their feet.D. They are the only farm animals capable of tool use.15. What can we learn from the last paragraph A. Veronika is the most intelligent cow ever discovered.B. The researchers believe Veronika is exceptionally rare among cows.C. Humans know less about common farm animals.D. Only cows and bulls, not other farm animals, may have tool-use ability.【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15.

Particularly themed on English classics such as Little Women, Wuthering Heights and Gone with the Wind, this collection had guided me to explore the mysterious world of English literature. In return, I received an electronic watch with eye-catching bright red.Through this activity, not only did we rediscover the value of second-hand items, but it also brought joy and satisfaction to participants.第二节（满分25分）47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。It was July, the final day of the school year. My class of six-year-old students was eagerly looking forward to their summer break. To make the day more cheerful, I arranged for some balloons to be delivered, yet for me, this vacation was a mix of happiness and sadness. I had recently moved to this city and didn’t have enough money to take a flight home to be with my father. He was longing for me deeply, since this was his first summer without my company.As I turned off the light before leaving, I spotted the balloons by the window.Not knowing what to do with them, I gathered the thirteen strings and put them in the backseat of my car. Their colorful colors brightened my mood, and thankfully, I no longer felt so isolated.Since I was still unfamiliar with the city, I chose to take a drive and before long, I found myself driving along a winding road where the trees overhead covered each other. The branches reminded me of two friends reaching out to welcome one another. Soon, a nursing home came into view. The place had an air of being forgotten, and I noticed a man sitting by himself in the shadow outside.I suddenly felt an urge to drive in. However, the balloons in my backseat were blocking my sight — at that moment, I realized how to use them. I got out, took hold of one of the strings, waved at the man, and he smiled back. He introduced himself as Daniel, and he was roughly the same age as my father. As I gave him the balloon, he beamed and said, “Thanks. This adds a bit of brightness to my life.” As he fastened it to his chair, he appeared more joyful than when I first saw him. So I replied with a smile, “You’re welcome, Daniel. Maybe we’ll meet again one day.’To my surprise, he responded, “Maybe, but it’s not likely. People are always invited to visit, but they seldom show up.” What he said forced me to pull an old chair closer to him. We began chatting about our lives, and the sound of his voice constantly brought my father to mind. I had imagined that having a conversation with a stranger would be dull. But it wasn’t; instead, it was enlightening — I had been feeling lonely, Daniel had felt the same, and so had the other residents of the nursing home.注意：(1) 续写词数应为150个左右；(2) 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置 作答。Then I remembered the other twelve balloons in the backseat.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Over the next six months, I visited Daniel often.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】范文Then I remembered the other twelve balloons in the backseat. When I asked if I could bring balloons inside, Daniel nodded, “It’s been a while since something cheerful came through the door.” Hearing this, I jogged to the car, gathered the strings from the backseat and the balloons were immediately freed, floating gloriously in the air. One by one, I handed them out to the residents inside, whose faces softened and even brightened up as the colors reached them. I could hear it, this sudden rustle of joy.Over the next six months, I visited Daniel often. Sometimes with balloons, sometimes with drawings my students made, our visits always began in the shade outside. Though he never said so, I could tell he waited for me. I did too for his voice, low and soft, was so much like Dad’s. I was grateful for the silence we shared when words weren’t needed. Through these visits, the city felt less foreign, but more like home. When I made it back home some day, I would tell Dad how a man brought him back to me, and how a handful of balloons, unexpectedly, lit up everything.辽宁朝阳市2025-2026学年高二下学期5月期中英语试题第一部分 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。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播两遍。1.

On March 28 and 29, a motorcycle made by ZXMOTO, a Chinese motorcycle brand, won both races at the Portuguese round of the Superbike World Championship (WSBK), a global motorcycle competition.The triumph marks the first time a Chinese motorcycle brand has won this event. It has broken the decades-long dominance of major foreign motorcycle brands such as Italy’s Ducati, Germany’s BMW, and Japan’s “Big Four”.In the WSBK, motorcycles are modified (改装) from mass-produced street bikes, so it is not only a speed competition but also a stage to show companies’ production ability.The winning motorcycle, launched by ZXMOTO this year, has a self-developed engine that allows it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in only 2.8 seconds. Its electronic control system and frame are also independently developed.Zhang Xue, 39, founder of ZXMOTO, has witnessed China’s motorcycle industry growth. He has worked as a mechanic, a rider, and an engineer. In 2013, he began building motorcycles in Chongqing, and founded ZXMOTO in 2024, focusing on independent engine R&D.ZXMOTO’s victory not only realizes Zhang’s dream but also shows the progress of Chinese motorcycle manufacturing, boosting the industry’s confidence and changing the international community’s view on China’s motorcycle sector.4.

The difficulties Chinese motorcycle brands faced in developing high-performance engines before.COver the past few weeks, many people in China have started raising “lobster” — and no, not the mouthwatering seafood. Chinese users have adopted this phrase to describe the process of setting up and training an AI agent called OpenClaw, which uses a red lobster as its logo.For some years, we have had generative AI models like ChatGPT. While they are useful, they passively wait for prompts (提示词) to respond. Also, they can tell users what to do, but cannot perform the task for them.OpenClaw, developed by Austrian software engineer and entrepreneur Peter Steinberger, promises to be “the AI that actually does things”, according to its website. It sends emails, manages calendars, books flights, controls smart home devices and more.What truly sets OpenClaw apart is its long-term “memory”. As reported by Computer Network, the AI keeps data even after being closed, enabling it to “remember” past conversations. Over time, it learns your preferences, tracks your projects and sends you proactive (积极主动的) notifications.Such proactiveness is supported by “heartbeat”, a built-in timer that is used regularly. As Claire Vo, chief technology officer of US startup LaunchDarkly, explained on social media platform X, OpenClaw’s “heartbeat” occurs every 30 minutes and can be adjusted by the user. With each tick, the AI wakes up to check for tasks that are ready to run. This enables the AI to continue working without user interaction.However, OpenClaw’s abilities come with serious risks. In February, researchers found over 40,000 instances of OpenClaw online, with more than 60 percent having problems that could allow hackers to gain control, reported CGTN. On March 8 and 10, the Chinese government issued two official alerts — the first-ever warnings specifically about an agentic AI.The risks are made worse by Moltbook, a social network launched in January, where the AI agents share posts with each other, and humans can only observe, reported Forbes. “Although it gained attention for showcasing AI-to-AI interactions, early findings revealed that it exposed entire databases,” Dr Shaanan Cohney from Australia’s University of Melbourne told Forbes.8. What can we learn about generative AI models like ChatGPT from the passage A. They can do tasks actively without prompts.B. They have long-term memory like OpenClaw.C. They wait for prompts to react inactively.D. They can control smart home devices automatically.9. What makes OpenClaw different from other AI A. It needs a browser tab open all the time.B. It has long-term memory and can work proactively.C. It only provides information but does nothing.D. It was developed by a Chinese engineer.10. What is the function of OpenClaw’s “heartbeat” A. It helps the AI remember users’ preferences forever.B. It allows AI agents to share posts with each other.C. It protects users from hackers and security risks.D. It enables the AI to wake up to check tasks every half an hour.11. Why did Chinese government issue official alerts about OpenClaw A. Because it may contribute to severe safety threats.B. Because it is too expensive for ordinary users.C. Because it cannot work well in chat apps.D. Because it has no long-term memory.DHow does a cow scratch an itch on its back An Austrian cow named Veronika has a solution that could change how we view livestock. For the past decade, Veronika has been observed by her owner occasionally picking up sticks with her mouth, maneuvering the ends to reach areas of her body she can’t otherwise reach.Veronika’s innovative behavior is reported in a new study — the first to describe tool use in a pet cow, according to the researchers. It was published Monday in the journal Current Biology. “What this tells us is that cows have the potential to innovate tool use, and we have ignored this fact for thousands of years,” lead author Antonio J. Osuna-Mascaró said in an email.When the study authors first saw the video of Veronika using a stick to scratch herself, it was clear that the behavior was intentional and not accidental. To test her tool-use capabilities, the researchers performed a series of controlled trials in which they placed a deck brush in front of the cow in various orientations.The researchers found that not only was Veronika displaying true tool use — when a tool serves a functional purpose and allows the subject to extend its own bodily limits — but she had a clear preference for how the tool was used. She would readjust her grip depending on what side of the brush she wanted, what part of her body she was targeting.This is extremely surprising because the only other solid example of multipurpose tool use that we know of belongs to the chimpanzees of the Congo Basin, Osuna-Mascaró said. While chimpanzees have the advantages of hands and opposable thumbs, Veronika still surprised the researchers with the control she had with her mouth.Cows and other highly intelligent and emotional animals are far too often written off as being dumb and lacking emotions. Detailed research shows they are fully sentient (有感觉能力的) beings with very active brains and rich and deep emotional lives.The researchers don’t believe that Veronika is the “Einstein of cows”. It is likely that there are many other cows, bulls and farm animals with this ability that have gone unnoticed. “We know more about the tool use of wild animals on remote islands than we do about the cows we live with,” Osuna-Mascaró said.12. What does the underlined word maneuvering probably mean A. throwing B. breaking C. moving skillfully D. hiding13. According to the researchers, why is Veronika’s behavior considered “true tool use” A. Because she uses the tool to get food.B. Because the tool performs a useful function and go beyond its physical abilitiesC. Because she was trained by her owner to do so.D. Because she uses the tool in the same way chimpanzees use tools with their hands.14. What can be inferred from the study about cows A. They are less intelligent than most exotic animals.B. They have been underestimated in terms of intelligence.C. They can use tools with their feet.D. They are the only farm animals capable of tool use.15. What can we learn from the last paragraph A. Veronika is the most intelligent cow ever discovered.B. The researchers believe Veronika is exceptionally rare among cows.C. Humans know less about common farm animals.D. Only cows and bulls, not other farm animals, may have tool-use ability.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Build Better Discipline and Self-ControlMost of us can gain a lot from improving our discipline and self-control.

My class of six-year-old students was eagerly looking forward to their summer break. To make the day more cheerful, I arranged for some balloons to be delivered, yet for me, this vacation was a mix of happiness and sadness. I had recently moved to this city and didn’t have enough money to take a flight home to be with my father. He was longing for me deeply, since this was his first summer without my company.As I turned off the light before leaving, I spotted the balloons by the window.Not knowing what to do with them, I gathered the thirteen strings and put them in the backseat of my car. Their colorful colors brightened my mood, and thankfully, I no longer felt so isolated.Since I was still unfamiliar with the city, I chose to take a drive and before long, I found myself driving along a winding road where the trees overhead covered each other. The branches reminded me of two friends reaching out to welcome one another. Soon, a nursing home came into view. The place had an air of being forgotten, and I noticed a man sitting by himself in the shadow outside.I suddenly felt an urge to drive in. However, the balloons in my backseat were blocking my sight — at that moment, I realized how to use them. I got out, took hold of one of the strings, waved at the man, and he smiled back. He introduced himself as Daniel, and he was roughly the same age as my father. As I gave him the balloon, he beamed and said, “Thanks. This adds a bit of brightness to my life.” As he fastened it to his chair, he appeared more joyful than when I first saw him. So I replied with a smile, “You’re welcome, Daniel. Maybe we’ll meet again one day.’To my surprise, he responded, “Maybe, but it’s not likely. People are always invited to visit, but they seldom show up.” What he said forced me to pull an old chair closer to him. We began chatting about our lives, and the sound of his voice constantly brought my father to mind. I had imagined that having a conversation with a stranger would be dull. But it wasn’t; instead, it was enlightening — I had been feeling lonely, Daniel had felt the same, and so had the other residents of the nursing home.注意：(1) 续写词数应为150个左右；(2) 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置 作答。Then I remembered the other twelve balloons in the backseat.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Over the next six months, I visited Daniel often.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 展开更多...... 收起↑ 资源列表 辽宁省朝阳市2025-2026学年高二下学期5月期中考试英语试卷答案.docx 辽宁省朝阳市2025-2026学年高二下学期5月期中考试英语试卷（.docx
