Passage 1
(2023辽宁抚顺一模)
Artificial intelligence helps teachers identify which of their students have learning difficulties,according to a new study.
Teachers make more accurate assessments of learning difficulties among their students if they are given AI-generated feedback(反馈) rather than an “expert solution” written by a qualified professional.Researchers believe that because the AI analyzed the teacher’s own work,it’s easier for the teacher to understand than a “model answer” prepared beforehand.
“Teachers play a critical role in recognizing the signs of disorders and learning difficulties in pupils and referring them to specialists,” said Riikka Hofmann.“Unfortunately,many of them feel that they have not had sufficient opportunity to practice these skills.AI could provide an extra level of individualized feedback to help them develop these essential competences.”
Trainee teachers were asked to assess fictionalized students for potential learning difficulties,based on evidence including examples of their work,school behavior records and written texts of conversations with parents.Half of the trainees received the “expert solution”,typical of the material given to trainee teachers,while the other half received AI-generated feedback on their approach,highlighting where they could improve.The trainees then completed similar follow-up assessments,and were graded both on the accuracy of their diagnoses(诊断) and on how well they had used the evidence.Trainees who received the AI feedback scored significantly higher than those who worked with the pre-written expert solutions.
While the researchers said this does not mean AI is preferable to one-to-one feedback from a skilled expert,this is not always available for trainee teachers.“We are not arguing that AI should replace teacher-educators:new teachers still need expert guidance on how to recognize learning difficulties in the first place,” said Dr Michael Sailer.“It does seem,however,that AI-generated feedback helped these trainees to focus on what they really needed to learn.When personal feedback is not readily available,it could be an effective substitute(代替物).”

Passage 2
(2023河北石家庄二模)
Every holiday season,Patricia Gallagher fills her car with stuffed animals and drives around Philadelphia.She gives them not to kids but to seniors.
Patricia’s holiday tradition started in 2009.“I just got this idea to call two nursing homes at random and ask if I could come and read It Was the Night Before Christmas,” she said.She brought some of her kids’ stuffed animals for the seniors to hold while she read.“But when I went to gather them and take them back to go to the next nursing home,nobody wanted to give up their stuffed animals,” she added.It was then and there that she realized the power of a simple holiday gift.
Patricia wanted to continue her tradition of giving,so she put an ad online,asking for gently used stuffed animals.In her first two years of collecting,she received more than 11,000 donated stuffed animals.She said sometimes local schools would hold stuffed animal collections on her behalf,or a child who outgrew their toys would donate.After receiving too many,Patricia started capping how many she would collect at a time,and said she could only take in about 250 stuffed animals each week during the holiday season.Then,she took them to nursing homes.

Spreading joy isn’t just a holiday pastime for Patricia.She is also known as the “Happy Flower Lady” around Philadelphia,because she collects old flowers from stores and passes them out to anyone who needs a pick-me-up.
“When you give,you really do get more back,” Patricia said.“Every morning,whether it’s the flowers or the stuffed animals,I have a purpose.”

句意:她在费城也被称为“快乐花女”,因为她从商店收集旧花,并把它们分发给任何需要提神的人。
