Something you can't miss in Macao Macao Tower AJ Hackett Bungee Jump
The Macao Tower, 338 meters tall, is the world's 10th highest tower, with a variety of
activities. One of the popular 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 commercial bungee jump in the world. Raise your arms and off you go!

Macao was colonized by Portugal before 1999. As a result, Portuguese culture can be found at 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.
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.

Every community has an ice cream store, but not all of them have a mission. When Charles Foreman opened his store, Everyday Sundae, he had a goal in mind, “My objective is to make a positive impact in my community by treating people like family and remembering them,” he said.
With his business slogan, “A place for community,” Foreman’s store has quickly gained
a devoted following. Customers visit to enjoy their favorite flavors; artwork and cards from them decorate the walls; and some purchase their paper napkins there to support the store. Foreman has also organized events like storybook readings accompanied by sweet treats for
children. What truly sets this business apart is the free ice cream that Foreman generously
gives out.
“You know when they come in, you can see it. It was natural to notice some of the kids have it and others don’t. So I'm going to sponsor them.” Foreman said as he talked about how he can tell when a visitor wants a treat they can’t afford. “I just want to do some positive things. I believe my community is missing a family-friendly ice cream shop.”
One day, Nicole Harkin, one of his regular customers, noticed Foreman give a free ice
cream to children without money. For Foreman, this was a constant gesture that had just gone
unnoticed, but Harkin reacted with surprise. She came back and handed him an envelope containing 100 dollars. Foreman was so touched by Harkin’s gift that he posted it on
高三级临门一脚模拟考试英语试卷 第 2 页 共 10 页
Instagram. Foreman and Harkin’s kind behaviors also moved other customers to cover Foreman’s free ice creams for people they didn’t know. Foreman’s ice cream fund has received many donations since then.
“When you see people doing their best, you want to do your best,” Foreman said.
“Everything is contagious, whether you do something negative or positive. We’re supposed to do all we can to help each other.”

Eating a traditional Mediterranean-type diet—rich in foods such as seafood, fruit, and nuts—may help reduce the risk of dementia(痴呆) by almost a quarter, a new study has revealed.
Experts at Newcastle University found that individuals who ate a Mediterranean-like
diet had up to 23% lower risk for dementia than those who did not. This research, published today in the journal BMC Medicine, is one of the biggest studies of its kind.
Scientists analyzed data from 60,298 individuals from the UK Biobank, including
individuals from across the UK, who had completed a dietary assessment. The authors scored individuals based on how closely their diet matched the key features of a Medierranean one. The participants were followed for almost a decade, during which time there were 882 cases of dementia.
高三级临门一脚模拟考试英语试卷 第 3 页 共 10 页
The authors considered each individual’s genetic risk for dementia by estimating what is known as their polygenic(多基因的) risk—a measure of all the different genes that are related to the risk of dementia. They found that there were similar associations between sticking to Mdierranean diet and dementia risk in individuals with higher and lower genetic risk for his condition, which may indicate that even for those with a higher genetic risk, having a better diet could reduce the likelihood of developing the condition.
Dr Janice Ranson, joint lead author on the paper, said, “Dementia impacts the lives of
millions of individuals throughout the world, and there are currently limited options for treating this condition. Our study shows a Medierranean diet that has a high intake of healthy plant-based foods may be important for future strategies to reduce dementia risk. For example, the dementia prevention efforts could go beyond general healthy diet advice and focus on choosing specific foods and nutrients.
The authors caution that their analysis is limited to individuals who self-reported their
ethnic background as white, British or Irish, as genetic data was only available based on European counties, and that further research is needed in a range of populations to determine the potential benefit.
28. What did scientists do during the study？
A. They scored the Mediterranean diet.
B. They tracked the participants’ health.
C. They collected data from 60,298 families.
D. They selected 882 potential dementia cases.
29. What can we infer about the Meidierranean diet from paragraph 4？
A. Its effect is closely related to the polygenic risk.
B. It increases one’s chance of developing dementia.
C. It can reduce dementia risk regardless of one’s genetic risk.
D. It can provide protection against various genetic diseases.
30. What are Dr Janice Ranson’s words mainly about？
A. Values of the study. B. Features of the study.
C. Elements of a healthy diet. D. Ways to deal with dementia.
31. What will further research most probably focus on？
A. Finding out more benefits of the Mediterranean diet.
B. Applying the findings to the treatment of dementia.
C. Involving participants of diverse races and nationalities.
D. Studying the rate of dementia within different age groups.

Soot (煤) pollution is speeding up climate-driven melting in Antarctica, a new study suggests, raising questions about how to protect the delicate continent from the increasing number of humans who want to visit.
“It really makes us question, is our presence really needed?” says Alia Khan, one of the
authors of the new study. “We have quite a large black carbon footprint in Antarctica, which is enhancing snow and ice melt.”
Black carbon is the leftover thing from burning plants or fossil fuels. Soot in Antarctica
comes primarily from waste gases of cruise ships(游轮), vehicles and airplanes, although
some pollution travels on the wind from other parts of the globe. The dark particles(微粒) coat white snow and absorb heat from the sun the way a black T-shirt does on a warm day. The blanket of dark bits speeds up melting that was already happening more quickly because of global warming.
When snow and ice are uncovered, they reflect an enormous amount of sunlight before
it can turn into heat. “These are the mirrors on our planet,” says Sonia Nagorski, a scientist at the University of Alaska Southeast. “When those mirrors are covered in a film of dark bits, they don’t send back that much light and heat. That means more heat is trapped on Earth, speeding up melting and contributing to global warming.”
As a scientist who personally visits Antarctica every year, Khan says she is troubled by
her own research results. On the one hand, she goes to Antarctica to collect crucial data about
how quickly the snow and ice there are disappearing. “But then when we come to conclusions like this it really does make us think twice about how frequently we need to visit the continent,” she says, “and what kind of regulations should be placed on tourism as well.” That could mean requiring that cruise ships and vehicles be electric, for example, or limiting the number of visitors each year.
32. What is Khan’s attitude towards human actions in Antarctica according to paragraph 2?
A. Angry and abusive. B. Cold and uninterested.
C. Doubtful and anxious. D. Admiring and delighted.
33. What is the main cause of soot pollution in Antarctica?
A. The quick melting of ice and snow.
B. The emission from various transport.
C. The remaining parts of burning plants.
D. The floating gases from other continents.
34. What do we know from Nagorski?
A. The covered ice is less reflective.
B. The melting speed of ice is slower than before.
高三级临门一脚模拟考试英语试卷 第 5 页 共 10 页
C. The dark blanket serves as a big mirror.
D. The sunlight gets increasingly stronger recently.
35. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. What made our planet so polluted? B. Who is to blame for air pollution?
C. Can electric vehicles save tourism? D. Are we welcome to the South Pole?

Being late is a tendency that some people cannot seem to shake. Many factors contribute to continual lateness, including time perception, time management and personality.
We all know someone who never seems to be on time, whether it’s to a lunch date or a
work meeting. 36
“It is likely that there’s a mechanism in the brain that causes some people to be late for meetings because they underestimate the time it will take them to get there,” Hugo Spiers, a
professor at University College London told Live Science. 37 Research suggests that
neurons in the hippocampus(海马体) acting as “time cells” contribute to our perception and memory of events, but why exactly some people continually underestimate time is unclear.
One factor may be how familiar we are with a space. For the 2017 study, Spiers asked
20 students who had newly moved to London to sketch a map of their college district and
estimate travel times to different destinations. The students’ space estimates expanded if they
knew an area well. 38 “If you’re very familiar with a space, you start to discount the
trouble it will take,” Spiers said.
Another environmental factor may be crowdedness. In a 2022 study in the journal Virtual Reality, researchers asked participants to estimate the length of more or less crowded
simulated (模拟的) subway trips. They found that crowded commutes felt like they took
10% longer than less busy rides. 39
40 Certain character features, such as reduced conscientiousness(责任心), can
cause some people to forget tasks that they had planned ahead of time.
A. Personality also plays a role in running late.
B. That was linked to it being an unpleasant experience.
C. We make time estimates based on how urgent the tasks are.
D. However, their estimates of travel time contracted with familiarity.
高三级临门一脚模拟考试英语试卷 第 6 页 共 10 页
E. But is there a good explanation for why some people are always late?
F. A region of the brain, called hippocampus, processes some aspects of time.
G. That’s because people who run late tell themselves and others they can be punctual.

Once, when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus (马戏). Finally, there was only one family between us and the ticket counter.
This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children, all probably under
the age of twelve. You could tell they didn’t have a lot of money.
Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children were well-behaved,
all of them standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents, holding hands. They were excitedly talking about the clowns, elephants, and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice.
It was clear that they had never been to the circus before. The father was at the head of
the pack, and the mother was holding her husband’s hand. The ticket lady asked the father
高三级临门一脚模拟考试英语试卷 第 9 页 共 10 页
how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded, “Please let me buy eight children’s tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.”
The ticket lady gave that price. The man’s wife let go of his hand, her head dropped.
The father leaned a little closer and asked,“How much did you say?” The ticket lady gave the price again. The man didn’t have enough money.
How could he turn and tell his eight children that he didn’t have enough money to take
them to the circus?
Actually we were not wealthy in any sense. So I understood how the kids would feel. I felt sorry for them.

how quickly the snow and ice there are disappearing. “But then when we come to conclusions like this it really does make us think twice about how frequently we need to visit the continent,” she says, “and what kind of regulations should be placed on tourism as well.” That could mean requiring that cruise ships and vehicles be electric, for example, or limiting the number of visitors each year.
32. What is Khan’s attitude towards human actions in Antarctica according to paragraph 2?
A. Angry and abusive. B. Cold and uninterested.
C. Doubtful and anxious. D. Admiring and delighted.
33. What is the main cause of soot pollution in Antarctica?
A. The quick melting of ice and snow.
B. The emission from various transport.
C. The remaining parts of burning plants.
D. The floating gases from other continents.
34. What do we know from Nagorski?
A. The covered ice is less reflective.
B. The melting speed of ice is slower than before.

Being late is a tendency that some people cannot seem to shake. Many factors contribute to continual lateness, including time perception, time management and personality.
We all know someone who never seems to be on time, whether it’s to a lunch date or a
work meeting. 36
“It is likely that there’s a mechanism in the brain that causes some people to be late for meetings because they underestimate the time it will take them to get there,” Hugo Spiers, a
professor at University College London told Live Science. 37 Research suggests that
neurons in the hippocampus(海马体) acting as “time cells” contribute to our perception and memory of events, but why exactly some people continually underestimate time is unclear.
One factor may be how familiar we are with a space. For the 2017 study, Spiers asked
20 students who had newly moved to London to sketch a map of their college district and
estimate travel times to different destinations. The students’ space estimates expanded if they
knew an area well. 38 “If you’re very familiar with a space, you start to discount the
trouble it will take,” Spiers said.
Another environmental factor may be crowdedness. In a 2022 study in the journal Virtual Reality, researchers asked participants to estimate the length of more or less crowded
simulated (模拟的) subway trips. They found that crowded commutes felt like they took
10% longer than less busy rides. 39
40 Certain character features, such as reduced conscientiousness(责任心), can
cause some people to forget tasks that they had planned ahead of time.
A. Personality also plays a role in running late.
B. That was linked to it being an unpleasant experience.
C. We make time estimates based on how urgent the tasks are.
D. However, their estimates of travel time contracted with familiarity.

E. But is there a good explanation for why some people are always late?
F. A region of the brain, called hippocampus, processes some aspects of time.
G. That’s because people who run late tell themselves and others they can be punctual.

Once, when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus (马戏). Finally, there was only one family between us and the ticket counter.
This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children, all probably under
the age of twelve. You could tell they didn’t have a lot of money.
Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children were well-behaved,
all of them standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents, holding hands. They were excitedly talking about the clowns, elephants, and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice.
It was clear that they had never been to the circus before. The father was at the head of
the pack, and the mother was holding her husband’s hand. The ticket lady asked the father

how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded, “Please let me buy eight children’s tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.”
The ticket lady gave that price. The man’s wife let go of his hand, her head dropped.
The father leaned a little closer and asked,“How much did you say?” The ticket lady gave the price again. The man didn’t have enough money.
How could he turn and tell his eight children that he didn’t have enough money to take
them to the circus?
Actually we were not wealthy in any sense. So I understood how the kids would feel. I felt sorry for them.
