As a young girl growing up in France, Sarah Toumi dreamed of becoming a leader who could make the world a better place. Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children.
Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification (沙漠化). “Within10 years rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor. I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification.
Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change. She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable (可持续的) crops, using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers (肥料) rather than chemicals.
In 2012, Toumi continued her dream to fight the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action. “I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.”
By September2016 more than 130, 000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 percent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. She expects to plant l million trees by 2028. In the next couple of years, Toumi hopes to extend the programme to Algeria and Morocco.
4. How did Toumi’s holiday trips to Tunisia influence her
A. They fired her enthusiasm for helping others. B. They helped her better understand her father.
C. They made her decide to leave the country. D. They destroyed her dream of being a teacher.
5. What is the main cause of the desertification of Tunisia’s farmland
A. Cold weather. B. Soil pollution. C. Low rainfall. D. Forest damage.
6. Why did Toumi set up Acacias for All in Tunisia
A To create job opportunities for young people. B. To promote the protection of their farmland.
C. To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers. D. To help the children obtain a basic education.
7. Which of the following can be the best title to the text
A. Saving Water in Africa B. Fighting Poverty in North Africa
C. Holding back the Sahara D. Planting Trees in Tunisia
C
Overcoming learning disabilities has long been a challenge for educators and students alike. However, recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technology have shown promise in revolutionizing the way we approach education for students with learning disabilities.
One of the most significant ways AI can assist is through the use of adaptive learning systems. These systems use algorithms (算法) to analyze a student’s performance and adjust the learning content and pace accordingly. This personalized approach allows them to progress at their own pace, without feeling overwhelmed or left behind. Furthermore, adaptive learning systems can identify areas where a student may be struggling and provide targeted support.
Another way AI can support them is through natural language processing (NLP) technology. NLP enables computers to understand and interpret human language, allowing AI-powered tools to provide real-time feedback on a student’s written work. This can be particularly beneficial for students with dyslexia, who often struggle with spelling, grammar, and sentence structure. By providing immediate feedback, students can identify and correct their mistakes, leading to improved writing skills and increased confidence.
AI can also play a role in developing their social and emotional skills. Many students with learning disabilities experience social isolation. AI-powered social robots can recognize and respond to human emotions, allowing students to engage in interactive conversations and activities that help develop their social and emotional intelligence.
While the potential benefits of AI in education are clear, it is essential to recognize AI isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Educators must carefully consider the moral implications of using AI in the classroom and ensure these tools are used responsibly and with the best interests of the students in mind. Moreover, it is crucial to remember AI shouldn’t replace human educators but rather serve as a tool to enhance and support their efforts. Teachers play a vital role by providing empathy, understanding, and guidance that cannot be reproduced by a machine. By combining the power of AI with the skills and compassion of human educators, we can create a more inclusive and effective educational environment for all students.
8. How can adaptive systems help students with learning disabilities
A. By adjusting their learning methods. B. By analyzing their learning abilities.
C. By satisfying their curiosity in learning. D. By offering personalized learning assistance.
9. What does the underlined word “dyslexia” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. A mental illness affecting human intelligence.
B. A brain disease leading to lack of confidence in study.
C. A language-related skill applied in the learning process.
D. A learning disorder involving difficulty in reading and writing.
10. What is the value of AI-powered social robots
A. Engaging students in learning activities. B. Narrowing the social distance between people.
C. Assisting learners to overcome social isolation. D. Helping learners adopt effective reading strategies.
11. What does the author say about AI in the last paragraph
A. It can’t provide understanding like human educators.
B. It can’t create an inclusive learning environment.
C. It can meet a wide range of learning needs.
D. It can guarantee learners’ data security.
D
When families get together, we hope for fun times characterized by love and bonding, but we often find that family conflicts occur during these times as well. In fact, in most families, there are longstanding patterns of interaction and roles that people traditionally play within these interactions. These interactions can be positive, but when they’re negative, they can bring high amounts of stress to a family gathering.
How often have you had an experience where you knew you were going to see your family and could predict in advance what annoying or frustrating interactions you might have with certain family members, and things went exactly as you’d hoped they wouldn’t While you can’t control the actions of others, you can control your response to their actions, which can alter the whole dynamic and create more positive interactions. In fact, Dr. Kathleen Kelley Reardon, USC Marshall School professor estimates that 75% of how people treat us is under our control because of this.
“Communication is like chess where every move one person makes influences the choices of the other,” says Reardon. “A good rule of thumb is to not say what you would normally say in response to any provocation. If you think you’re being blamed for something, instead of getting your back up, try saying, “There’s some truth to that” or “I hadn’t thought of it that way but I see your point.”
If you’re anticipating conflict the next time you get together with certain people, you may want to think about things ahead of time and identify patterns you’ve experienced before, think about potential choice points, and consider alternative responses you may choose.
Try to come up with a few solutions for each possibility and think about what would feel right for you. Rather than getting caught up in the usual conflict and hurt feelings, try to imagine what tone you’d like the conversation to take, and see if you can lead the interaction in that direction with your own responses at pivotal choice points.
Learning better conflict resolution skills, knowing what to avoid in a conflict, and how to cool off when upset can also help immensely.
12 What can we know in the first two paragraphs
A. Enjoyable family gatherings are preferred.
B. Patterns of interaction are changeable in a family.
C. There are rarely family conflicts in most families.
D. Neither the actions of others nor yours can you control.
13. What should we do if we are blamed by someone according to Reardon
A. Convey your point to him or her.
B. Deny there’s some truth to that.
C. Get your back up and argue with him or her.
D. Make him or her know that you understand them.
14. Which is improper to deal with a conflict with family members
A. Predict the conflict and find a way to solve them.
B. Imagine what tone you'd like the conversation to take.
C. Get caught up in the usual conflict and hurt feelings.
D. Learn conflict resolution skills and know what to avoid in a conflict.
15. Which of the following best states the theme of the passage
A. Find Best Times to Have Family Gatherings
B. Change negative interactions into positive ones
C. Realize the importance of family relationships
D. Resolve Family Conflicts and Relieve Stress

We are familiar with an old saying that “Clothes make the man”, which means good-looking outfits may possibly make a person better respected and look more like a true gentleman.____16____. Naturally, he may be well respected and gracefully treated even though he doesn’t seem so respectable as others imagine. Instead, if a man is poorly or commonly dressed, he can’t avoid being looked down upon and unfairly treated,____17____. As far as these people are concerned, what one wears is taken as an essential signal of status and an expression of characteristics. Consequently, clothes do seem to help make a good impression on others, and gain more respect.
____18____. I think the good impression one leaves on others based on clothes doesn’t last long. Only good internal quality and beauty will impress people forever and never fade. ____19____. On the contrary, when people who are fascinated by a person’s clothes eventually find out that he is an undesirable person, they would think he is pretentious and may even treat him with contempt (蔑视). On top of this, people who attach too much importance to clothes would waste their time and money on it. Besides, it adversely affects their effort on the things that really matter.
In summary, ____20____. Nothing can count more than good internal quality in building up the man. Therefore, only one’s internal beauty and knowledge are more decisive of a person’s value.
A. clothes do help in making an initial image, but do not make the man
B. As a result, all the people spare no money to buy expensive fine clothes
C. Clothes just make a man look better but will in no sense make a better person
D. But I have a different view on this issue
E. Thus, a man should be always dressed like a gentleman
F. for many people judge others only by the way they dress
G. If a man is well dressed, he will probably gain more confidence and dignity

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
I am the kind of person who is shy and doesn’t express himself much among others. I spend a significant amount of time on introspection (内省). I lack the ease to engage in conversations with others. But I find this, on the other hand, can be an advantage.
Once, as a school boy, I wondered if I, such an introverted (内向的) person, would be considered eccentric (古怪的). And I was even afraid that I could possibly get nowhere in my study.
I went to school, where I was just an average student and struggled with shyness. My parents had high expectations, hoping I would finally be able to secure the first position at the end of the sixth grade. However, achieving that was no easy job. Given the keen competition between classmates and my then situation, it was challenging to stand out. I inquired with my friend, Tom, who consistently ranked first, and he revealed that his two aunts had been helping him, providing tutoring support.
Asking for help was never easy for me; my shyness stopped me from seeking assistance. I believed that I had to depend on myself — it was my sole responsibility to learn and educate myself. This mindset surprisingly ignited (激发) a race within me to claim the top position in my class. However, I realized there were barriers on my path — several subjects troubled me. And I understood that achieving the first position would take a couple of years of hard work.
I embarked on (开始) this journey when I was in the fourth grade. Attention focused in class and more time spent after class I found I was gradually on the right track. By the fifth grade, work on my study was progressing steadily and improvement was obvious. Even Tom showed his surprise or I could say envy. But I knew my performance in writing still needed improving. And I knew, though without additional support, I could count on myself.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The journey continued into the sixth grade.

Overcoming learning disabilities has long been a challenge for educators and students alike. However, recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technology have shown promise in revolutionizing the way we approach education for students with learning disabilities.
One of the most significant ways AI can assist is through the use of adaptive learning systems. These systems use algorithms (算法) to analyze a student’s performance and adjust the learning content and pace accordingly. This personalized approach allows them to progress at their own pace, without feeling overwhelmed or left behind. Furthermore, adaptive learning systems can identify areas where a student may be struggling and provide targeted support.
Another way AI can support them is through natural language processing (NLP) technology. NLP enables computers to understand and interpret human language, allowing AI-powered tools to provide real-time feedback on a student’s written work. This can be particularly beneficial for students with dyslexia, who often struggle with spelling, grammar, and sentence structure. By providing immediate feedback, students can identify and correct their mistakes, leading to improved writing skills and increased confidence.
AI can also play a role in developing their social and emotional skills. Many students with learning disabilities experience social isolation. AI-powered social robots can recognize and respond to human emotions, allowing students to engage in interactive conversations and activities that help develop their social and emotional intelligence.
While the potential benefits of AI in education are clear, it is essential to recognize AI isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Educators must carefully consider the moral implications of using AI in the classroom and ensure these tools are used responsibly and with the best interests of the students in mind. Moreover, it is crucial to remember AI shouldn’t replace human educators but rather serve as a tool to enhance and support their efforts. Teachers play a vital role by providing empathy, understanding, and guidance that cannot be reproduced by a machine. By combining the power of AI with the skills and compassion of human educators, we can create a more inclusive and effective educational environment for all students.
8. How can adaptive systems help students with learning disabilities
A. By adjusting their learning methods. B. By analyzing their learning abilities.
C. By satisfying their curiosity in learning. D. By offering personalized learning assistance.
9. What does the underlined word “dyslexia” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. A mental illness affecting human intelligence.
B. A brain disease leading to lack of confidence in study.
C. A language-related skill applied in the learning process.
D. A learning disorder involving difficulty in reading and writing.
10. What is the value of AI-powered social robots
A. Engaging students in learning activities. B. Narrowing the social distance between people.
C. Assisting learners to overcome social isolation. D. Helping learners adopt effective reading strategies.
11. What does the author say about AI in the last paragraph
A. It can’t provide understanding like human educators.
B. It can’t create an inclusive learning environment.
C. It can meet a wide range of learning needs.
D It can guarantee learners’ data security.

When families get together, we hope for fun times characterized by love and bonding, but we often find that family conflicts occur during these times as well. In fact, in most families, there are longstanding patterns of interaction and roles that people traditionally play within these interactions. These interactions can be positive, but when they’re negative, they can bring high amounts of stress to a family gathering.
How often have you had an experience where you knew you were going to see your family and could predict in advance what annoying or frustrating interactions you might have with certain family members, and things went exactly as you’d hoped they wouldn’t While you can’t control the actions of others, you can control your response to their actions, which can alter the whole dynamic and create more positive interactions. In fact, Dr. Kathleen Kelley Reardon, USC Marshall School professor estimates that 75% of how people treat us is under our control because of this.
“Communication is like chess where every move one person makes influences the choices of the other,” says Reardon. “A good rule of thumb is to not say what you would normally say in response to any provocation. If you think you’re being blamed for something, instead of getting your back up, try saying, “There’s some truth to that” or “I hadn’t thought of it that way but I see your point.”
If you’re anticipating conflict the next time you get together with certain people, you may want to think about things ahead of time and identify patterns you’ve experienced before, think about potential choice points, and consider alternative responses you may choose.
Try to come up with a few solutions for each possibility and think about what would feel right for you. Rather than getting caught up in the usual conflict and hurt feelings, try to imagine what tone you’d like the conversation to take, and see if you can lead the interaction in that direction with your own responses at pivotal choice points.
Learning better conflict resolution skills, knowing what to avoid in a conflict, and how to cool off when upset can also help immensely.
12. What can we know in the first two paragraphs
A. Enjoyable family gatherings are preferred.
B. Patterns of interaction are changeable in a family.
C. There are rarely family conflicts in most families.
D. Neither the actions of others nor yours can you control.
13. What should we do if we are blamed by someone according to Reardon
A. Convey your point to him or her.
B. Deny there’s some truth to that.
C. Get your back up and argue with him or her.
D. Make him or her know that you understand them.
14. Which is improper to deal with a conflict with family members
A. Predict the conflict and find a way to solve them.
B. Imagine what tone you'd like the conversation to take.
C. Get caught up in the usual conflict and hurt feelings.
D. Learn conflict resolution skills and know what to avoid in a conflict.
15. Which of the following best states the theme of the passage
A. Find Best Times to Have Family Gatherings
B. Change negative interactions into positive ones
C. Realize the importance of family relationships
D. Resolve Family Conflicts and Relieve Stress
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. D

We are familiar with an old saying that “Clothes make the man”, which means good-looking outfits may possibly make a person better respected and look more like a true gentleman.____16____. Naturally, he may be well respected and gracefully treated even though he doesn’t seem so respectable as others imagine. Instead, if a man is poorly or commonly dressed, he can’t avoid being looked down upon and unfairly treated,____17____. As far as these people are concerned, what one wears is taken as an essential signal of status and an expression of characteristics. Consequently, clothes do seem to help make a good impression on others, and gain more respect.
____18____. I think the good impression one leaves on others based on clothes doesn’t last long. Only good internal quality and beauty will impress people forever and never fade. ____19____. On the contrary, when people who are fascinated by a person’s clothes eventually find out that he is an undesirable person, they would think he is pretentious and may even treat him with contempt (蔑视). On top of this, people who attach too much importance to clothes would waste their time and money on it. Besides, it adversely affects their effort on the things that really matter.
In summary, ____20____. Nothing can count more than good internal quality in building up the man. Therefore, only one’s internal beauty and knowledge are more decisive of a person’s value.
A. clothes do help in making an initial image, but do not make the man
B. As a result, all the people spare no money to buy expensive fine clothes
C. Clothes just make a man look better but will in no sense make a better person
D. But I have a different view on this issue
E. Thus, a man should be always dressed like a gentleman
F. for many people judge others only by the way they dress
G. If a man is well dressed, he will probably gain more confidence and dignity

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
I am the kind of person who is shy and doesn’t express himself much among others. I spend a significant amount of time on introspection (内省). I lack the ease to engage in conversations with others. But I find this, on the other hand, can be an advantage.
Once, as a school boy, I wondered if I, such an introverted (内向的) person, would be considered eccentric (古怪的). And I was even afraid that I could possibly get nowhere in my study.
I went to school, where I was just an average student and struggled with shyness. My parents had high expectations, hoping I would finally be able to secure the first position at the end of the sixth grade. However, achieving that was no easy job. Given the keen competition between classmates and my then situation, it was challenging to stand out. I inquired with my friend, Tom, who consistently ranked first, and he revealed that his two aunts had been helping him, providing tutoring support.
Asking for help was never easy for me; my shyness stopped me from seeking assistance. I believed that I had to depend on myself — it was my sole responsibility to learn and educate myself. This mindset surprisingly ignited (激发) a race within me to claim the top position in my class. However, I realized there were barriers on my path — several subjects troubled me. And I understood that achieving the first position would take a couple of years of hard work.
I embarked on (开始) this journey when I was in the fourth grade. Attention focused in class and more time spent after class, I found I was gradually on the right track. By the fifth grade, work on my study was progressing steadily and improvement was obvious. Even Tom showed his surprise or I could say envy. But I knew my performance in writing still needed improving. And I knew, though without additional support, I could count on myself.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The journey continued into the sixth grade.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The day arrived when the headmaster declared the exam results.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
The journey continued into the sixth grade. I, as usual, worked independently. And I found a good thing. Isolated and single-minded, I could have all my attention focused on my study. Evidently, that mattered a lot. I had managed to achieve good scores in writing and I was well on my way. But that wasn’t enough to secure the first position yet. With the terminal exam approaching, the classroom was just like a competitive arena, all my classmates preparing hard for the academic battle. This, however, further stimulated the race within me. I, on my own initiative, formulated strategies to win, resolving not to let anyone take the first position from me. When finally the exam came, I, exceptionally calm and confident, gave it my all.
The day arrived when the headmaster declared the exam results. As I waited, the headmaster began with the top performers in Grade one. The tension grew as each name was called. Eventually, he announced the first position in the sixth grade. It was claimed by our class. I was nervous. He called MY name. It was ME! The first one in Grade six! I lived up to my parents’ expectations! The feeling was indescribable, and I was just in a state of shock and happiness. Teachers and classmates, including Tom, sent me their congratulations. Guess how I reacted then I shied away and slid back to the classroom. Over time, I have accepted who I am, for being introverted, as it turns out, can be a facilitator rather than a killer of my accomplishments.

As a young girl growing up in France, Sarah Toumi dreamed of becoming a leader who could make the world a better place. Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children.
Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification (沙漠化). “Within10 years rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor. I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification.
Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change. She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable (可持续的) crops, using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers (肥料) rather than chemicals.
In 2012, Toumi continued her dream to fight the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action. “I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.”
By September2016 more than 130, 000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 percent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. She expects to plant l million trees by 2028. In the next couple of years, Toumi hopes to extend the programme to Algeria and Morocco.
4. How did Toumi’s holiday trips to Tunisia influence her
A. They fired her enthusiasm for helping others. B. They helped her better understand her father.
C. They made her decide to leave the country. D. They destroyed her dream of being a teacher.
5. What is the main cause of the desertification of Tunisia’s farmland
A. Cold weather. B. Soil pollution. C. Low rainfall. D. Forest damage.
6. Why did Toumi set up Acacias for All in Tunisia
A To create job opportunities for young people. B. To promote the protection of their farmland.
C. To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers. D. To help the children obtain a basic education.
7. Which of the following can be the best title to the text
A. Saving Water in Africa B. Fighting Poverty in North Africa
C. Holding back the Sahara D. Planting Trees in Tunisia

We are familiar with an old saying that “Clothes make the man”, which means good-looking outfits may possibly make a person better respected and look more like a true gentleman.____16____. Naturally, he may be well respected and gracefully treated even though he doesn’t seem so respectable as others imagine. Instead, if a man is poorly or commonly dressed, he can’t avoid being looked down upon and unfairly treated,____17____. As far as these people are concerned, what one wears is taken as an essential signal of status and an expression of characteristics. Consequently, clothes do seem to help make a good impression on others, and gain more respect.
____18____. I think the good impression one leaves on others based on clothes doesn’t last long. Only good internal quality and beauty will impress people forever and never fade. ____19____. On the contrary, when people who are fascinated by a person’s clothes eventually find out that he is an undesirable person, they would think he is pretentious and may even treat him with contempt (蔑视). On top of this, people who attach too much importance to clothes would waste their time and money on it. Besides, it adversely affects their effort on the things that really matter.
In summary, ____20____. Nothing can count more than good internal quality in building up the man. Therefore, only one’s internal beauty and knowledge are more decisive of a person’s value.

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
I am the kind of person who is shy and doesn’t express himself much among others. I spend a significant amount of time on introspection (内省). I lack the ease to engage in conversations with others. But I find this, on the other hand, can be an advantage.
Once, as a school boy, I wondered if I, such an introverted (内向的) person, would be considered eccentric (古怪的). And I was even afraid that I could possibly get nowhere in my study.
I went to school, where I was just an average student and struggled with shyness. My parents had high expectations, hoping I would finally be able to secure the first position at the end of the sixth grade. However, achieving that was no easy job. Given the keen competition between classmates and my then situation, it was challenging to stand out. I inquired with my friend, Tom, who consistently ranked first, and he revealed that his two aunts had been helping him, providing tutoring support.
Asking for help was never easy for me; my shyness stopped me from seeking assistance. I believed that I had to depend on myself — it was my sole responsibility to learn and educate myself. This mindset surprisingly ignited (激发) a race within me to claim the top position in my class. However, I realized there were barriers on my path — several subjects troubled me. And I understood that achieving the first position would take a couple of years of hard work.
I embarked on (开始) this journey when I was in the fourth grade. Attention focused in class and more time spent after class I found I was gradually on the right track. By the fifth grade, work on my study was progressing steadily and improvement was obvious. Even Tom showed his surprise or I could say envy. But I knew my performance in writing still needed improving. And I knew, though without additional support, I could count on myself.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The journey continued into the sixth grade.

As a young girl growing up in France, Sarah Toumi dreamed of becoming a leader who could make the world a better place. Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children.
Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification (沙漠化). “Within10 years rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor. I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification.
Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change. She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable (可持续的) crops, using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers (肥料) rather than chemicals.
In 2012, Toumi continued her dream to fight the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action. “I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.”
By September2016, more than 130, 000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 percent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. She expects to plant l million trees by 2028. In the next couple of years, Toumi hopes to extend the programme to Algeria and Morocco.
4. How did Toumi’s holiday trips to Tunisia influence her
A. They fired her enthusiasm for helping others. B. They helped her better understand her father.
C. They made her decide to leave the country. D. They destroyed her dream of being a teacher.
5. What is the main cause of the desertification of Tunisia’s farmland
A. Cold weather. B. Soil pollution. C. Low rainfall. D. Forest damage.
6. Why did Toumi set up Acacias for All in Tunisia
A. To create job opportunities for young people. B. To promote the protection of their farmland.
C. To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers. D. To help the children obtain a basic education.
7. Which of the following can be the best title to the text
A Saving Water in Africa B. Fighting Poverty in North Africa
C. Holding back the Sahara D. Planting Trees in Tunisia
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. C
C
Overcoming learning disabilities has long been a challenge for educators and students alike. However, recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technology have shown promise in revolutionizing the way we approach education for students with learning disabilities.
One of the most significant ways AI can assist is through the use of adaptive learning systems. These systems use algorithms (算法) to analyze a student’s performance and adjust the learning content and pace accordingly. This personalized approach allows them to progress at their own pace, without feeling overwhelmed or left behind. Furthermore, adaptive learning systems can identify areas where a student may be struggling and provide targeted support.
Another way AI can support them is through natural language processing (NLP) technology. NLP enables computers to understand and interpret human language, allowing AI-powered tools to provide real-time feedback on a student’s written work. This can be particularly beneficial for students with dyslexia, who often struggle with spelling, grammar, and sentence structure. By providing immediate feedback, students can identify and correct their mistakes, leading to improved writing skills and increased confidence.
AI can also play a role in developing their social and emotional skills. Many students with learning disabilities experience social isolation. AI-powered social robots can recognize and respond to human emotions, allowing students to engage in interactive conversations and activities that help develop their social and emotional intelligence.
While the potential benefits of AI in education are clear, it is essential to recognize AI isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Educators must carefully consider the moral implications of using AI in the classroom and ensure these tools are used responsibly and with the best interests of the students in mind. Moreover, it is crucial to remember AI shouldn’t replace human educators but rather serve as a tool to enhance and support their efforts. Teachers play a vital role by providing empathy, understanding, and guidance that cannot be reproduced by a machine. By combining the power of AI with the skills and compassion of human educators, we can create a more inclusive and effective educational environment for all students.
8. How can adaptive systems help students with learning disabilities
A. By adjusting their learning methods. B. By analyzing their learning abilities.
C. By satisfying their curiosity in learning. D. By offering personalized learning assistance.
9. What does the underlined word “dyslexia” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. A mental illness affecting human intelligence.
B. A brain disease leading to lack of confidence in study.
C. A language-related skill applied in the learning process.
D. A learning disorder involving difficulty in reading and writing.
10. What is the value of AI-powered social robots
A. Engaging students in learning activities. B. Narrowing the social distance between people.
C. Assisting learners to overcome social isolation. D. Helping learners adopt effective reading strategies.
11. What does the author say about AI in the last paragraph
A. It can’t provide understanding like human educators.
B. It can’t create an inclusive learning environment.
C. It can meet a wide range of learning needs.
D It can guarantee learners’ data security.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. C 11. A
D
When families get together, we hope for fun times characterized by love and bonding, but we often find that family conflicts occur during these times as well. In fact, in most families, there are longstanding patterns of interaction and roles that people traditionally play within these interactions. These interactions can be positive, but when they’re negative, they can bring high amounts of stress to a family gathering.
How often have you had an experience where you knew you were going to see your family and could predict in advance what annoying or frustrating interactions you might have with certain family members, and things went exactly as you’d hoped they wouldn’t While you can’t control the actions of others, you can control your response to their actions, which can alter the whole dynamic and create more positive interactions. In fact, Dr. Kathleen Kelley Reardon, USC Marshall School professor estimates that 75% of how people treat us is under our control because of this.
“Communication is like chess where every move one person makes influences the choices of the other,” says Reardon. “A good rule of thumb is to not say what you would normally say in response to any provocation. If you think you’re being blamed for something, instead of getting your back up, try saying, “There’s some truth to that” or “I hadn’t thought of it that way but I see your point.”
If you’re anticipating conflict the next time you get together with certain people, you may want to think about things ahead of time and identify patterns you’ve experienced before, think about potential choice points, and consider alternative responses you may choose.
Try to come up with a few solutions for each possibility and think about what would feel right for you. Rather than getting caught up in the usual conflict and hurt feelings, try to imagine what tone you’d like the conversation to take, and see if you can lead the interaction in that direction with your own responses at pivotal choice points.
Learning better conflict resolution skills, knowing what to avoid in a conflict, and how to cool off when upset can also help immensely.
12. What can we know in the first two paragraphs
A. Enjoyable family gatherings are preferred.
B. Patterns of interaction are changeable in a family.
C. There are rarely family conflicts in most families.
D. Neither the actions of others nor yours can you control.

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
I am the kind of person who is shy and doesn’t express himself much among others. I spend a significant amount of time on introspection (内省). I lack the ease to engage in conversations with others. But I find this, on the other hand, can be an advantage.
Once, as a school boy, I wondered if I, such an introverted (内向的) person, would be considered eccentric (古怪的). And I was even afraid that I could possibly get nowhere in my study.
I went to school, where I was just an average student and struggled with shyness. My parents had high expectations, hoping I would finally be able to secure the first position at the end of the sixth grade. However, achieving that was no easy job. Given the keen competition between classmates and my then situation, it was challenging to stand out. I inquired with my friend, Tom, who consistently ranked first, and he revealed that his two aunts had been helping him, providing tutoring support.
Asking for help was never easy for me; my shyness stopped me from seeking assistance. I believed that I had to depend on myself — it was my sole responsibility to learn and educate myself. This mindset surprisingly ignited (激发) a race within me to claim the top position in my class. However, I realized there were barriers on my path — several subjects troubled me. And I understood that achieving the first position would take a couple of years of hard work.
I embarked on (开始) this journey when I was in the fourth grade. Attention focused in class and more time spent after class, I found I was gradually on the right track. By the fifth grade, work on my study was progressing steadily and improvement was obvious. Even Tom showed his surprise or I could say envy. But I knew my performance in writing still needed improving. And I knew, though without additional support, I could count on myself.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The journey continued into the sixth grade.

【答案】范文
The journey continued into the sixth grade. I, as usual, worked independently. And I found a good thing. Isolated and single-minded, I could have all my attention focused on my study. Evidently, that mattered a lot. I had managed to achieve good scores in writing and I was well on my way. But that wasn’t enough to secure the first position yet. With the terminal exam approaching, the classroom was just like a competitive arena, all my classmates preparing hard for the academic battle. This, however, further stimulated the race within me. I, on my own initiative, formulated strategies to win, resolving not to let anyone take the first position from me. When finally the exam came, I, exceptionally calm and confident, gave it my all.
The day arrived when the headmaster declared the exam results. As I waited, the headmaster began with the top performers in Grade one. The tension grew as each name was called. Eventually, he announced the first position in the sixth grade. It was claimed by our class. I was nervous. He called MY name. It was ME! The first one in Grade six! I lived up to my parents’ expectations! The feeling was indescribable, and I was just in a state of shock and happiness. Teachers and classmates, including Tom, sent me their congratulations. Guess how I reacted then I shied away and slid back to the classroom. Over time, I have accepted who I am, for being introverted, as it turns out, can be a facilitator rather than a killer of my accomplishments.
