Many experts have praised AI’s groundbreaking potential to help people become way more efficient at their jobs, and a lot of educators have been trying it out for themselves, including me.
I’ve used ChatGPT, an AI-powered tool that can instantly answer seemingly any instruction, in my job. Of course, there are potential downsides to the new technology. It can produce inaccurate or one-sided responses based on faulty data it collects, and it has the potential to cause huge data privacy problems. Despite those risks, I have used such AI-powered tools to plan lessons, provide feedback on student assignments, and respond to parent emails. And I’m looking for other ways to use the technology to make my job easier.
Take two other teachers, for example. Mike Kerr, a high school English teacher in Tennessee, uses ChatGPT to reduce Lexile levels-the measure of an individual’s reading ability and the difficulty of a text -for his students. High school students are often required to read relatively complex classic novels. The reading homework “can be a real big task for an English learner in their first couple of months here”. To help them, Kerr uses ChatGPT to give summaries of works of literature, which saves him from having to read all the assigned literary works, so he can have more time to better guide them through the text.
April Edwards, a 6th grade social studies teacher in Texas, shares ways that she uses AI in her instruction on a social media platform. “I use AI to help create lesson plans, presentations, to write emails, and to create checklists.AI is a great resource to use as a starting point for a task or to give you ideas,” Edwards said. She has not introduced AI to her students, because she wants to fully understand it before allowing students to use it in the classroom. “My goal is to show them how to use AI responsibly and effectively and demonstrate that to my students. If I am using AI irresponsibly, then so will they,” Edwards said.
4. How does the author regard ChatGPT
A. It is of high accuracy. B. It is undervalued.
C. It brings some convenience. D. It often misleads users.
5. What does Mike Kerr use AI to do
A. Reduce teaching pressure. B. Help with students’ homework.
C. Summarize English lessons D. Go through the complex classics.
6. What is April Edwards’ attitude towards students’ using AI
A. Supportive. B. Worried. C. Opposed. D. Cautious.
7. Which can be the best title of the text
A. Can AI improve instruction B. Why is AI changing education
C. Should teachers apply AI to teaching D. How can ChatGPT encourage study
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. A
【解析】

As is a very common phenomenon, students are listening to music while studying or doing homework. In libraries, many choose to isolate themselves from the outside wearing headphones, and the same is true of some offices. Whether or not there is isolation, however, what these people have in common is that they see music as a tool that can improve concentration and productivity in general.
But is it true Does music really help us focus better on what we’re doing, whether it’s memorizing text, studying complex topics, or writing projects
Scientific studies have been carried out on this subject for many decades among other things, because if music can be used to improve the performance of students or workers, this information can be very useful for organizations able to finance this type of study.
For example, the results of a study were published in 1972 and it was designed to try to better understand the relationship between listening to melodies and changes in productivity. Through a series of observations, there was an increase in the performance of workers when listening to music from loudspeakers.
However, this study was the daughter of its time, and was only used to study a very specific and representative working context of the time: that of factories. Workforce tasks were repetitive, predictable and boring, and the music acted as a stimulant of mental activity. As the work was more rewarding and enjoyable, the productivity results were also better.
Other research that took place later served to reinforce (加强) the idea that music improves the performance of routine tasks. This was good news, but what about the most complex and creative jobs — those which cannot be carried out by machines What about studying complex academic programs, which cannot be memorized literally but need to be understood and mentally worked on
8. How does the author find the idea that music can improve concentration
A. Curious. B. Opposed. C. Supportive. D. Doubtful.
9. What was the finding of the study in 1972 about listening to music
A. It didn’t make any difference. B. It improved workers’ efficiency.
C. It held back the creative workers. D. It made workforce tasks more boring.
10. What was the shortcoming of the study in 1972
A. The lack of researchers. B. The short time of research.
C. The limitation of times. D. The small number of participants.
11 What would be talked about in next paragraphs
A. How listening to music affects creative jobs.
B. Whether listening to music helps routine tasks.
C. Why people like listening to music when working.
D. What kind of music helps people improve their performance.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了虽然过往的一些研究表明听音乐可以帮助人们提升工作表现，但是作者对此充满怀疑，认为这些研究没有涉及复杂而有创造性的工作。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“But is it true Does music really help us focus better on what we’re doing, whether it’s memorizing text, studying complex topics, or writing projects (但这是真的吗？音乐真的能帮助我们更好地专注于我们正在做的事情吗，无论是记忆课文，学习复杂的主题，还是写课题)”可知，作者对上文提到的音乐可以提升注意力和生产力的研究结果提出了质疑，认为这可能并不适用于所有事情。由此可知，作者对音乐能够提高注意力持怀疑态度。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Through a series of observations, there was an increase in the performance of workers when listening to music from loudspeakers. (通过一系列的观察，工人们在听扩音器播放的音乐时，工作表现有所提高)”可知，1972年的这项研究发现听音乐提高了工人的工作效率。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“However, this study was the daughter of its time, and was only used to study a very specific and representative working context of the time: that of factories. Workforce tasks were repetitive, predictable and boring, and the music acted as a stimulant of mental activity. (然而，这项研究是当时的产物，只用于研究当时一个非常具体和具有代表性的工作环境：工厂。工作任务是重复的、可预测的和无聊的，音乐起到了刺激精神活动的作用)”可知，1972年的这项研究有其时代局限性，其研究对象仅限于当时典型的工厂的工作环境。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“This was good news, but what about the most complex and creative jobs — those which cannot be carried out by machines What about studying complex academic programs, which cannot be memorized literally but need to be understood and mentally worked on (这是个好消息，但对于那些最复杂、最具创造性的工作——那些机器无法完成的工作——又该怎么办呢？那么学习复杂的学术课程呢？这些课程不能逐字地记忆，而是需要理解和思考)”可知，作者对做复杂而有创造性的工作、学习复杂的学术课程时，听音乐能否提升效果深感好奇。由此推知，接下来的段落应该会探讨听音乐如何影响这些有创造性的工作。故选A项。
D
While Huawei’s official website does not call Mate 60 Pro a 5G smartphone, the phone’s wideband capabilities are on par with other 5G smartphones, raising a related question: As a leader in 5G technology, has Huawei managed to develop a 5G smartphone on its own
The answer is not simple. Huawei, as a pioneer in global 5G communication equipment, has played a leading role in the commercialization of 5G technology, with its strong system design and fields such as baseband chips (基带芯片), baseband processors and 5G modems.
However, basebands and modems are not the only aspects that define 5G wireless communication. The stability and high-quality signals of a 5G smartphone also depend on other critical components such as RF transceivers (射频收发器) and RF front ends and antennas (天线) . These components are largely dominated by four US high-tech giants—Qualcomm, Avago Technologies, Ansem and Qorvo—which account for a surprising global market share.
Huawei has faced significant challenges in getting critical components because of the sanctions imposed by the United States which are primarily responsible for the inability of the Chinese company to launch 5G smartphones in the past three years. However, Mate 60 Pro, despite not being labeled a 5G device, exhibits mobile network speeds comparable to Apple’s latest 5G-enabled devices, offering a stable communication experience. This suggests Huawei has, over the past three years, overcome the 5G development and production limits due to the US sanctions by cooperating with domestic partners, and establishing an independent and controllable stable supply chain.
Considering that Huawei has not explicitly marketed this device as a 5G smartphone, it is possible that it is yet to fully overcome some key core technological and componential shortcomings. For the time being, we can consider Huawei’s Mate 60 Pro as 4.99G. But when combined with the satellite communication capabilities of Mate 60 Pro, it is clear Huawei has been trying to find more advanced wireless communication solutions for smartphones and making significant progress in this attempt. This should be recognized as a remarkable endeavor, even a breakthrough.
12. What do the underlined words “on par with” mean in Paragraph 1
A. as poor as. B. as good as. C. worse than. D. better than.
13. Why was it tough for Huawei to develop a 5G smartphone three years ago
A. Its system design and fields needed to be updated.
B. It only focused on the commercialization of 5G technology.
C. It was unwilling to cooperate with high-tech giants in America.
D. It lacked critical components mainly controlled by US high-tech giants.
14. What does Paragraph 4 centre on
A. The US sanctions. B. Critical components.
C. Apple’s latest 5G-enabled devices. D. Progress in Mate 60 Pro.
15. What is the text mainly about
A. Huawei faced with significant challenges
B. Huawei’s Mate 60 Pro—a 5G smartphone
C. Huawei’s Mate 60 Pro—a remarkable breakthrough
D. Huawei leading in global 5G communication equipment
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述了华为研发智能手机Mate 60 Pro取得的重大突破。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线部分所在句“While Huawei’s official website does not call Mate 60 Pro a 5G smartphone, the phone’s wideband capabilities are on par with other 5G smartphones(虽然华为官方网站并未将Mate 60 Pro称为5G智能手机，但这款手机的宽带功能与其他5G智能手机on par with)”可知，while引导让步状语从句，前后文是转折关系，因此推断尽管华为官网并没有说明Mate 60 Pro是5G智能手机，但是这款手机的宽带功能却与5G手机的功能一样好。因此推断划线部分与B项一致。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“Huawei has faced significant challenges in getting critical components because of the sanctions imposed by the United States which are primarily responsible for the inability of the Chinese company to launch 5G smartphones in the past three years(由于美国实施的制裁，华为在获得关键零部件方面面临重大挑战，这是过去三年这家中国公司无法推出5G智能手机的主要原因)”可知，因为缺少主要由美国高科技巨头控制的关键部件，三年前华为很难研发出5G只能手机。故选D。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段的“However, Mate 60 Pro, despite not being labeled a 5G device, exhibits mobile network speeds comparable to Apple’s latest 5G-enabled devices, offering a stable communication experience. This suggests Huawei has, over the past three years, overcome the 5G development and production limits due to the US sanctions by cooperating with domestic partners, and establishing an independent and controllable stable supply chain.(然而，Mate 60 Pro尽管没有被贴上5G设备的标签，但其移动网络速度与苹果最新的5G设备相当，提供了稳定的通信体验。这表明华为在过去三年中，通过与国内合作伙伴合作，克服了美国制裁造成的5G研发和生产限制，建立了独立可控的稳定供应链。)”可知，本段的焦点是说明华为Mate 60 Pro的进展。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，根据最后一段的“But when combined with the satellite communication capabilities of Mate 60 Pro, it is clear Huawei has been trying to find more advanced wireless communication solutions for smartphones and making significant progress in this attempt. This should be recognized as a remarkable endeavor, even a breakthrough.( 但结合Mate 60 Pro的卫星通信功能，很明显华为一直在努力为智能手机寻找更先进的无线通信解决方案，并在这一尝试中取得了重大进展。这应该被认为是一项非凡的努力，甚至是一项突破。)”可知，本文主要讲述了华为Mate 60 Pro智能手机取得的非凡的突破。故选C。

It’s December and there’s a definite chill in the air. The last thing you probably feel like doing in winter is opening a window, turning down the central heating and shifting workouts from a warm, cosy gym to the outdoors. ____16____ Here’s how experts say we can embrace it.
Hop off the treadmill (跑步机) and head outdoors for a greater fitness effect. Cold as it seems outdoors, running, cycling or walking in winter not only are good for you, but also make you feel easier once you get moving. Provided conditions are not freezing, our bodies tend to respond positively to colder weather pared with exercising in the heat, there is less stress on the heart. ____17____
Cool your bedroom to burn extra calories and sleep well. Underfloor heating and a quilt might make your bedroom feel cosy but they won’t help you sleep.____18____By gradually cooling the temperature in your bedroom you could drop off more easily and burn more calories even as you sleep.
Turn down the central heating to improve your blood sugar control. Studies have shown how repeated exposure to colder temperatures removes sugar from the blood quickly, a risk factor for diabetes (糖尿病). ____19____ That would just make the household cold and uncomfortable, so we should reduce it slowly so that nobody notices.
____20____ One of the simplest ways to inject the benefits of colder temperatures into your lifestyle is cold water in the shower, which could potentially have a profound effect on mood. Additionally, the cold-water shower can stimulate leukocytes, blood cells that fight against infection.
A. Take an outdoor dip to relieve stress.
B. Therefore, it is likely to feel less of an effort.
C. Neither will they better your health and fat-burning potential.
D. The key is not to lower the temperature by several degrees suddenly.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“科目三”舞蹈最近在国内外社交平台上非常流行，并分析了其背后原因。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：截至12月10日，该舞蹈在短视频平台上的观看量已超过88.8亿次，人们普遍认为该舞蹈起源于中国南方广西壮族自治区的一种婚礼舞蹈。非限制性定语从句修饰先行词the dance，先行词指物，关系词替代先行词在从句作主语，用关系代词which。故填which。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：截至12月10日，该舞蹈在短视频平台上的观看量已超过88.8亿次，人们普遍认为该舞蹈起源于中国南方广西壮族自治区的一种婚礼舞蹈。短语be thought to do表示“被认为……”，originate用不定式形式。故填to originate。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意：这支舞蹈迅速走红，并被改编成各种版本——各种肤色、各行各业的人都跳起了这支有趣的舞蹈。修饰名词versions应用形容词various/varied作定语。故填various/varied。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意：为什么“科目三”舞蹈一炮而红？hit意为“很受欢迎的人（或事物）”，为可数名词，表示泛指，且instant的发音以元音音素开头，应用不定冠词an。故填an。
【45题详解】
考查代词。句意：如今，年轻人寻求以个性化和不同的方式表达自己。express oneself意为“表达自己”。主语为young people，应用反身代词themselves。故填themselves。
【46题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：让年轻人在日常生活中释放身心的疲惫，享受原始的快乐和纯粹的幸福。主语Young people与谓语动词allow构成被动关系，且陈述事实用一般现在时，主语为Young people，谓语用复数形式。故填are allowed。
【47题详解】
考查名词。句意：让年轻人在日常生活中释放身心的疲惫，享受原始的快乐和纯粹的幸福。作动词enjoy的宾语，应用名词happiness，不可数。故填happiness。
【48题详解】

【50题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：此外，舞蹈没有特定的类型，动作也没有固定，给每个人留下了创造自己风格的空间。分析句子结构，空前是完整的句子，且前后没有连接词连接，所以空处应用非谓语动词。根据句意，这种舞蹈没有特定的类型和动作，使得每个人都有创作空间，表示自然而然的结果，leave应用现在分词形式，作结果状语。故填leaving。

Last year, our city called on the citizens to sort and recycle rubbish, but I became a volunteer in my neighbourhood. After dinner, I got to the place that different rubbish should be thrown into different bin. Then came an old lady, carrying a bag of kitchen waste with plastic bottles in them. I helped her pick out of the recyclable bottles with patient. After that, more people came and I show them how to classify the rubbish mixing in their bags. When the kitchen waste was taken away, I finished my job. Although tired, I felt happily and went home with strong sense of achievement.
【答案】
【解析】
【分析】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了作者作为志愿者参与垃圾分类的活动。虽然很累，但作者感到很开心，参与志愿者活动使作者获得了强烈的成就感。
【详解】1.考查连词。句意：去年，我们的城市呼吁市民对垃圾进行分类和回收，然后我成了社区的一名志愿者。but前后的内容在逻辑上可以是承接关系，因此but改成and；也可以理解成为因果关系，因此but改成so。故将but改为and或so。
2.考查定语从句的引导词。句意：晚餐后，我到达了将不同垃圾倒入不同垃圾箱的地方。分析句子结构可知，place是定语从句的先行词，它在从句中作地点状语，应使用where引导定语从句。故将that改为where。
3.考查名词的数。句意：晚餐后，我到达了将不同垃圾倒入不同垃圾箱的地方。different修饰可数名词bin，bin要使用复数形式。故将bin改为bins。
4.考查人称代词。句意：那时有一位老人，提着一袋厨房垃圾，里面装有塑料瓶。指代前面的a bag应该使用it。故将them改为it。
5.考查固定短语。句意：我和她一起帮助她从可回收瓶中挑选出来。pick out这个固定短语可直接接宾语bottles。故将of去掉。
6.考查名词。句意：我耐心地帮助她挑选可回收的瓶子。介词with后接名词作宾语，patient的名词是patience。故将patient 改为patience。
7.考查时态。句意：之后，更多的人来了，我向他们展示了如何对袋中的混合垃圾进行分类。and前后的谓语动词在时态要保持一致，因此show应使用一般过去时showed。故将 show改为showed。
8.考查过去分词。句意：之后，更多人来了，我向他们展示了如何对袋中的混合垃圾进行分类。rubbish承受mix的动作，应使用mix的过去分词作后置定语修饰rubbish。故将mix 改为mixed。
9.考查形容词作表语。句意：虽然很累，但我感到很开心，带着强烈的成就感回到家。feel为联系动词，后接形容词作表语。故将happily改为happy。
10.考查冠词。句意：虽然很累，但我感到很开心，带着强烈的成就感回到家。此处为泛指意义，a/an… sense of achievement：一种……成就感。strong为以辅音音素开头的单词，其前使用不定冠词a。故在strong前加a。
【点睛】抓住定语从句“三要素”是学好定语从句的关键。构成定语从句的三个要素是先行词、引导词及从句其它内容。在具体分析时，有三个步骤：一找先行词，二判断先行词在从句中充当成份，三确定引导词。第2小题考查定语从句的引导词。句意：晚餐后，我到达了将不同垃圾倒入不同垃圾箱的地方。分析句子结构可知，place是定语从句的先行词，它在从句中作地点状语，应使用where引导定语从句。故将that改为where。

【答案】 My Experience in Joining a School Club
Last year, in order to step out of my comfort zone and enrich my school life, I attended a debate club. On each Friday afternoon, we would gather in the school library to discuss a variety of topics, ranging from current events to philosophical debates. Then we chose one topic, prepared arguments, and engaged in a friendly debate with each other. In the end, the winners were presented with a specially-designed medal.

Many experts have praised AI’s groundbreaking potential to help people become way more efficient at their jobs, and a lot of educators have been trying it out for themselves, including me.
I’ve used ChatGPT, an AI-powered tool that can instantly answer seemingly any instruction, in my job. Of course, there are potential downsides to the new technology. It can produce inaccurate or one-sided responses based on faulty data it collects, and it has the potential to cause huge data privacy problems. Despite those risks, I have used such AI-powered tools to plan lessons, provide feedback on student assignments, and respond to parent emails. And I’m looking for other ways to use the technology to make my job easier.
Take two other teachers, for example. Mike Kerr, a high school English teacher in Tennessee, uses ChatGPT to reduce Lexile levels-the measure of an individual’s reading ability and the difficulty of a text -for his students. High school students are often required to read relatively complex classic novels. The reading homework “can be a real big task for an English learner in their first couple of months here”. To help them, Kerr uses ChatGPT to give summaries of works of literature, which saves him from having to read all the assigned literary works, so he can have more time to better guide them through the text.
April Edwards, a 6th grade social studies teacher in Texas, shares ways that she uses AI in her instruction on a social media platform. “I use AI to help create lesson plans, presentations, to write emails, and to create checklists.AI is a great resource to use as a starting point for a task or to give you ideas,” Edwards said. She has not introduced AI to her students, because she wants to fully understand it before allowing students to use it in the classroom. “My goal is to show them how to use AI responsibly and effectively and demonstrate that to my students. If I am using AI irresponsibly, then so will they,” Edwards said.
4. How does the author regard ChatGPT
A. It is of high accuracy. B. It is undervalued.
C. It brings some convenience. D. It often misleads users.
5. What does Mike Kerr use AI to do
A. Reduce teaching pressure. B. Help with students’ homework.
C. Summarize English lessons D. Go through the complex classics.
6. What is April Edwards’ attitude towards students’ using AI
A. Supportive. B. Worried. C. Opposed. D. Cautious.
7. Which can be the best title of the text
A. Can AI improve instruction B. Why is AI changing education
C. Should teachers apply AI to teaching D. How can ChatGPT encourage study
C
As is a very common phenomenon, students are listening to music while studying or doing homework. In libraries, many choose to isolate themselves from the outside wearing headphones, and the same is true of some offices. Whether or not there is isolation, however, what these people have in common is that they see music as a tool that can improve concentration and productivity in general.
But is it true Does music really help us focus better on what we’re doing, whether it’s memorizing text, studying complex topics, or writing projects
Scientific studies have been carried out on this subject for many decades among other things, because if music can be used to improve the performance of students or workers, this information can be very useful for organizations able to finance this type of study.
For example, the results of a study were published in 1972 and it was designed to try to better understand the relationship between listening to melodies and changes in productivity. Through a series of observations, there was an increase in the performance of workers when listening to music from loudspeakers.
However, this study was the daughter of its time, and was only used to study a very specific and representative working context of the time: that of factories. Workforce tasks were repetitive, predictable and boring, and the music acted as a stimulant of mental activity. As the work was more rewarding and enjoyable, the productivity results were also better.
Other research that took place later served to reinforce (加强) the idea that music improves the performance of routine tasks.

While Huawei’s official website does not call Mate 60 Pro a 5G smartphone, the phone’s wideband capabilities are on par with other 5G smartphones, raising a related question: As a leader in 5G technology, has Huawei managed to develop a 5G smartphone on its own
The answer is not simple. Huawei as a pioneer in global 5G communication equipment, has played a leading role in the commercialization of 5G technology, with its strong system design and fields such as baseband chips (基带芯片), baseband processors and 5G modems.
However, basebands and modems are not the only aspects that define 5G wireless communication. The stability and high-quality signals of a 5G smartphone also depend on other critical components such as RF transceivers (射频收发器) and RF front ends and antennas (天线) . These components are largely dominated by four US high-tech giants—Qualcomm, Avago Technologies, Ansem and Qorvo—which account for a surprising global market share.
Huawei has faced significant challenges in getting critical components because of the sanctions imposed by the United States which are primarily responsible for the inability of the Chinese company to launch 5G smartphones in the past three years. However, Mate 60 Pro, despite not being labeled a 5G device, exhibits mobile network speeds comparable to Apple’s latest 5G-enabled devices, offering a stable communication experience. This suggests Huawei has, over the past three years, overcome the 5G development and production limits due to the US sanctions by cooperating with domestic partners, and establishing an independent and controllable stable supply chain.
Considering that Huawei has not explicitly marketed this device as a 5G smartphone, it is possible that it is yet to fully overcome some key core technological and componential shortcomings. For the time being, we can consider Huawei’s Mate 60 Pro as 4.99G. But when combined with the satellite communication capabilities of Mate 60 Pro, it is clear Huawei has been trying to find more advanced wireless communication solutions for smartphones and making significant progress in this attempt. This should be recognized as a remarkable endeavor, even a breakthrough.
12. What do the underlined words “on par with” mean in Paragraph 1
A. as poor as. B. as good as. C. worse than. D. better than.
13. Why was it tough for Huawei to develop a 5G smartphone three years ago
A. Its system design and fields needed to be updated.
B. It only focused on the commercialization of 5G technology.
C. It was unwilling to cooperate with high-tech giants in America.
D. It lacked critical components mainly controlled by US high-tech giants.
14. What does Paragraph 4 centre on
A The US sanctions. B. Critical components.
C. Apple’s latest 5G-enabled devices. D. Progress in Mate 60 Pro.
15. What is the text mainly about
A. Huawei faced with significant challenges
B. Huawei’s Mate 60 Pro—a 5G smartphone
C. Huawei’s Mate 60 Pro—a remarkable breakthrough
D. Huawei leading in global 5G communication equipment
