For high school students, just thinking about your career probably isn’t enough. You have to actively do some research and plan. Here are some of the best careers for the future and how you can get your foot in the door.
Registered Nurses
To become registered nurses, you’re going to need either an associate degree in nursing, a Bachelor of Science in nursing, or another officially approved diploma(文凭) from a nursing program. If you want to be a practicing physician, you’ll need a medical degree in your chosen field on top of your four-year degree.
Data Analysts
Big data is a growing field with profitable opportunities for college graduates. You are required to have a master’s degree in computer science or another related field. Data science is a traditionally male-dominated industry and only 26 percent are held by women. Thankfully, it is holding out an olive branch to females and there are some terrific programs specially designed for them to break into this dynamic field.
Plumbers (管道工) and Electricians
Not all of the best careers for the future will require a four-year undergraduate degree. There’s a serious demand for skilled positions jobs like plumbers and technicians. Many of these positions require a high school degree and often an associate degree in a related field but don’t necessarily require graduation from a four-year university.
Cybersecurity (网络安全) Experts
The average salaries for cybersecurity experts can start at $80, 000 for IT Security Consultants and can reach six figures for other positions such as a security director. The best way to start your path in cybersecurity is with a bachelor’s degree in computer science, information technology, engineering, or other related fields.
1. In which job will the gender distribution probably be more balanced
A. Data Analysts. B. Registered Nurses.
C. Cybersecurity Experts. D. Plumbers and Electricians.
2. To be a cybersecurity expert, which is the basic requirement
A. A master’s degree in computer science.
B. A certificate of high school graduation.
C. A bachelor’s degree in information technology.
D. A diploma officially approved from a medical program.
3. Where is the text probably taken from

On the outside 12-year-old Luna seems like your average kid. It's not until you get to know her that you learn that Luna is anything but average.
Born with a heart defect (缺陷)called dextrocardia, Luna has had three open-heart operations and continues to pursue her interests in art and fashion. But when Luna was approached by athletic shoe company Saucony to design a shoe for sale across the country, it came as quite a surprise.
“This is so incredible. I got to use my art and creativity for something new that I'd never thought I'd be able to design,“ Luna said. She is one of six patients from Boston Children's Hospital ( BCH) who have partnered with Saucony to design their own shoe to launch the Shoes with Soul campaign.
“Rather than just a donation, we wanted to create an experience and a moment that would not only raise money, but also awareness to highlight all the amazing work that's being done at BCH,“ says Chris, Saucony's vice president. “Specifically, we wanted to give some of the BCH kids an opportunity to share their story and their talents with the world. ”
Luna's design is fashion. u On the tongue ,they digitalized one of my drawings, and then on bottom it's a really bright pink color, and on the inside ,the sole of the shoe is actually another drawing I did of a sunset,“ she said. "Thinking about kids everywhere around the world wearing my shoe is amazing. It blows my mind.”
The income from the shoe sales will benefit the Boston Children's Hospital Cardiac Fitness Program, which encourages kids to “find your possible" through personalized exercise programs tailored for each individual patient's heart condition.
“It feels really good to help people and it's really something I can relate to,“ says Luna. “The advice I would give a kid or someone like me is never give up. There are a lot of kids out there with your condition and you're not alone.”
4. What can we learn from Chris' words
A. It's unwise to raise money.
B. It's optional to seek donations.
C It's wonderful to study art.
D. It's necessary to show kids' talents.
5. What does Luna mean by “It blows my mind" in paragraph 5
A. I'm overjoyed. B. ['m very serious.
C. My mind goes blank. D. My mind is racing.
6. Which of the following best describes Luna
A. Gifted and determined. B. Generous and serious.
C. Grateful and helpful. D. Creative and sensitive.
7. What is the text mainly intended to do
A. Tell us a story of a disabled girl.

D. Introduce a campaign with kid patients.
C
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in educational technology has brought convenience and efficiency to classrooms worldwide. However, despite these advancements, it is crucial to recognize the significant challenges it poses to the autonomy and professional judgment of instructors. One of the primary concerns associated with AI-driven tools in education is the depersonalization of instruction. These tools often rely on pre-packaged digital content and standardized solutions, leaving little room for instructors to tailor their teaching methods.
Each student possesses unique characteristics, including distinct learning styles, strengths, and weaknesses. Instructors, armed with their wealth of experience and expertise, are best positioned to customize their approaches to meet these individual needs. They know how to adapt to their students’ varying learning styles. However, AI-driven platforms restrict their ability to do so effectively, resulting in a one-size-fits-all approach that fails to engage and inspire students to reach their maximum potential.
The implications of this depersonalization are far-reaching. By diminishing(降低) the role of instructors as facilitators of meaningful educational interactions, we run the risk of preventing the growth of critical thinking and problem-solving skills among students.
Education should not merely focus on knowledge acquisition (习得), but should also develop the ability to analyze, evaluate, and apply that knowledge in real-world contexts. It should help one’s mind grow, not simply possess information. Through dynamic classroom discussions, cooperative projects, and hands-on activities, instructors play a vital role in cultivating these essential skills. AI-driven platforms, with their standardized solutions and automated features, are ill-equipped to provide the same level of engagement and intellectual stimulation as human instructors. While AI-driven platforms undeniably have their advantages, we must not lose sight of the importance of preserving instructors’ autonomy and the educational experience they provide.
8. Why do AI-driven tools fail to help instructors adjust their teaching methods
A. Their solutions will be challenged. B. They don’t have professional judgement.
C. Their digital content is set previously. D. They think little of the students’ autonomy.
9. What advantage do instructors have over AI-driven tools
A. They are more professional. B. They can satisfy individual needs.
C. They have higher efficiency. D. They adopt one-size-fits-all approach.
10. In which aspect does depersonalization in education influence on students
A. Their response in classroom discussions.
B. Their ability in solving real life problems.
C. Their willingness to cooperate with others.
D. Their adaptability to various learning styles.
11. What should education focus on apart from knowledge acquisition
A. Doing cooperative projects. B. Organizing hands-on activities.
C. Developing thinking ability. D. Evaluating students’ development.
D
Different forests in the western United States have unique combinations of trees and birds. One type has broad-leaved trees like ash and cottonwood, along with kingbirds. Anoher type has evergreen trees like pine and white spruce, along with juncos. Ecologists in the early twentieth century once claimed these ecological communities were precisely balanced systems, where every species had a specific role to play in a complex machine. They believed that removing or adding any plant, bird, or insect, could disrupt this balance and harm the habitat. One of these pioneer ecologists was Frederick Clements, who believed that in a specific climate area, ecological communities gradually moved toward the most balanced and integrated group of species in that region.
Clements was challenged by another pioneer ecologist, Henry Gleason, who took the opposite view. Gleason viewed the community as largely a group of species with similar tolerances to the stresses given by climate and other factors typical of the region. Gleason thought chance played a big role in where species lived. His concept suggests that nature is not highly integrated. Each species is responding individually to its surroundings. Gleason thought things could change in different ways, depending upon local conditions.
Who was right It now appears that Gleason was more accurate than Clements. The ecological community is mostly a random collection of species with similar responses to a particular climate. Ash trees are found in association with cottonwood trees because both can survive well on floodplains and the competition between them is not so strong that only one can survive.
This is not to say that precise harmonies are not present within communities. Most flowering plants rely on pollinators (传粉者). But if we see a precise balance of nature, it is largely a product of our perception, due to the false belief that nature, especially a complex system like a forest, seems so unchanging from one day to the next.
12. Early 20th century ecologists commonly claimed that___________.
A. each species plays a specific role in the community
B. new species need to be added as communities develop
C. maintaining precise balance in community is challenging
D. it is important to protect communities by removing certain species
13. According to Gleason, what influences where species live
A. How individualistic the species is. B. Their ability to tolerate the stresses there.
C. The number of similar species present. D. Their ways to integrate with other species.
14. Why does the author mention two kinds of trees in paragraph 3
A. To show greater species variety in floodplains.
B. To provide evidence to support Clements’ theory.
C. To give an example of species that prefer to live on floodplains.
D. To support the current view on how ecological communities develop.
15. The underlined word “perception” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to____________.
A. culture B. environment C. understanding D. education

52. 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。
If there’s one thing I can’t stand people saying, it’s “I’m not good at anything. I don’t have any talent.” I just don’t buy that at all. To me, everyone has at least one talent, and while it sometimes takes you a lifetime to find, it does exist. There was a time when I didn’t believe that. What changed my mind was a seemingly small event that took place in 2023.
At that time, I was a high school student. I was a funny-looking skinny boy named Eugene Orowitz, who weighed barely 100 pounds. I was a good student, but as far as I was concerned, in just about every other department I was a loser. I wanted to fit in, to be someone and do something well. But I hadn’t found anything I was good at. One sunny afternoon, our gym class went out to the school’s running track. The teacher taught us various track and field events. I was a loser in all of them. Then came the javelin (标枪). Suddenly something inside me began saying, “Try it! Try it!” I had to wait for my turn, though, because several others wanted a break at the javelin too. Shy and scared, I watched them, trying not to look too eager. Finally, when everyone had had a chance to throw-the best throw going about 30 yards-I looked at the teacher.
“Hey, Orowitz, you want to try ” he asked.
Embarrassed, I looked down, but managed to nod my head.
“Well, come on then,” he said impatiently, and handed me the javelin. Behind me I could hear some of my classmates laughing. As I grasped the javelin in my hand, I was seized with a strange feeling-a new-found excitement. For some crazy reason, I was relaxed over what I was about to do, even though I’d never done it before. I raised the javelin over my head, took six quick steps and let the thing go. The same voice that had urged me into throwing it, now told me it was a good throw.
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I watched as the spear took off.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The night I took the javelin home with me.

52. 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。
If there’s one thing I can’t stand people saying, it’s “I’m not good at anything. I don’t have any talent.” I just don’t buy that at all. To me, everyone has at least one talent, and while it sometimes takes you a lifetime to find, it does exist. There was a time when I didn’t believe that. What changed my mind was a seemingly small event that took place in 2023.
At that time, I was a high school student. I was a funny-looking skinny boy named Eugene Orowitz, who weighed barely 100 pounds. I was a good student, but as far as I was concerned, in just about every other department I was a loser. I wanted to fit in, to be someone and do something well. But I hadn’t found anything I was good at. One sunny afternoon, our gym class went out to the school’s running track. The teacher taught us various track and field events. I was a loser in all of them. Then came the javelin (标枪). Suddenly something inside me began saying, “Try it! Try it!” I had to wait for my turn, though, because several others wanted a break at the javelin too. Shy and scared, I watched them, trying not to look too eager. Finally, when everyone had had a chance to throw-the best throw going about 30 yards-I looked at the teacher.
“Hey, Orowitz, you want to try ” he asked.
Embarrassed, I looked down, but managed to nod my head.
“Well, come on then,” he said impatiently, and handed me the javelin. Behind me I could hear some of my classmates laughing. As I grasped the javelin in my hand, I was seized with a strange feeling-a new-found excitement. For some crazy reason, I was relaxed over what I was about to do, even though I’d never done it before. I raised the javelin over my head, took six quick steps and let the thing go. The same voice that had urged me into throwing it, now told me it was a good throw.
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I watched as the spear took off.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The night I took the javelin home with me.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I watched as the spear took off. My heart quickened as the Javelin sailed through the sky and finally inserted heavily into the ground, surpassing 30 yards. It turned out to be the best throw. At the sight of the result, all my classmates present burst into thunderous applause. At that moment, the teacher patted me on the shoulder, smiling to encourage me to join the school team and practice more. Suddenly, a surge of confidence rose up inside me and I felt I gradually fitted in my class.
That night I took the javelin home with me. I stared at the javelin, reflecting on what had happened in the gym class. A thought suddenly occurred to me that I should practice it hard. The following months witnessed my efforts in practicing javelin. Finally, the glory of the champion in a javelin competition enveloped me and a smile spread across my face when I stepped onto the award platform. At the moment, it downed on me that everyone has a talent as long as he or she can make attempts with courage.

A
For high school students, just thinking about your career probably isn’t enough. You have to actively do some research and plan. Here are some of the best careers for the future and how you can get your foot in the door.
Registered Nurses
To become registered nurses, you’re going to need either an associate degree in nursing, a Bachelor of Science in nursing, or another officially approved diploma(文凭) from a nursing program. If you want to be a practicing physician, you’ll need a medical degree in your chosen field on top of your four-year degree.
Data Analysts
Big data is a growing field with profitable opportunities for college graduates. You are required to have a master’s degree in computer science or another related field. Data science is a traditionally male-dominated industry and only 26 percent are held by women. Thankfully, it is holding out an olive branch to females and there are some terrific programs specially designed for them to break into this dynamic field.
Plumbers (管道工) and Electricians
Not all of the best careers for the future will require a four-year undergraduate degree. There’s a serious demand for skilled positions jobs like plumbers and technicians. Many of these positions require a high school degree and often an associate degree in a related field but don’t necessarily require graduation from a four-year university.
Cybersecurity (网络安全) Experts
The average salaries for cybersecurity experts can start at $80, 000 for IT Security Consultants and can reach six figures for other positions such as a security director. The best way to start your path in cybersecurity is with a bachelor’s degree in computer science, information technology, engineering, or other related fields.
1. In which job will the gender distribution probably be more balanced
A. Data Analysts. B. Registered Nurses.
C. Cybersecurity Experts. D. Plumbers and Electricians.
2. To be a cybersecurity expert, which is the basic requirement
A. A master’s degree in computer science.
B. A certificate of high school graduation.
C. A bachelor’s degree in information technology.
D. A diploma officially approved from a medical program.
3. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A health lecture. B. A school website.
C. A job advertisement. D. A science magazine.
B
On the outside 12-year-old Luna seems like your average kid. It's not until you get to know her that you learn that Luna is anything but average.
Born with a heart defect (缺陷)called dextrocardia, Luna has had three open-heart operations and continues to pursue her interests in art and fashion. But when Luna was approached by athletic shoe company Saucony to design a shoe for sale across the country, it came as quite a surprise.
“This is so incredible. I got to use my art and creativity for something new that I'd never thought I'd be able to design,“ Luna said. She is one of six patients from Boston Children's Hospital ( BCH) who have partnered with Saucony to design their own shoe to launch the Shoes with Soul campaign.
“Rather than just a donation, we wanted to create an experience and a moment that would not only raise money, but also awareness to highlight all the amazing work that's being done at BCH,“ says Chris, Saucony's vice president. “Specifically, we wanted to give some of the BCH kids an opportunity to share their story and their talents with the world. ”
Luna's design is fashion. u On the tongue ,they digitalized one of my drawings, and then on bottom it's a really bright pink color, and on the inside ,the sole of the shoe is actually another drawing I did of a sunset,“ she said. "Thinking about kids everywhere around the world wearing my shoe is amazing. It blows my mind.”
The income from the shoe sales will benefit the Boston Children's Hospital Cardiac Fitness Program, which encourages kids to “find your possible" through personalized exercise programs tailored for each individual patient's heart condition.
“It feels really good to help people and it's really something I can relate to,“ says Luna. “The advice I would give a kid or someone like me is never give up. There are a lot of kids out there with your condition and you're not alone.”
4. What can we learn from Chris' words
A. It's unwise to raise money.
B. It's optional to seek donations.
C It's wonderful to study art.
D. It's necessary to show kids' talents.
5. What does Luna mean by “It blows my mind" in paragraph 5
A. I'm overjoyed. B. ['m very serious.
C. My mind goes blank. D. My mind is racing.
6. Which of the following best describes Luna
A. Gifted and determined. B. Generous and serious.
C. Grateful and helpful. D. Creative and sensitive.
7. What is the text mainly intended to do
A. Tell us a story of a disabled girl.
B. Set a good example to the disabled.
C. Launch Saucony's new brand shoes.
D. Introduce a campaign with kid patients.
C
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in educational technology has brought convenience and efficiency to classrooms worldwide. However, despite these advancements, it is crucial to recognize the significant challenges it poses to the autonomy and professional judgment of instructors. One of the primary concerns associated with AI-driven tools in education is the depersonalization of instruction. These tools often rely on pre-packaged digital content and standardized solutions, leaving little room for instructors to tailor their teaching methods.
Each student possesses unique characteristics, including distinct learning styles, strengths, and weaknesses. Instructors, armed with their wealth of experience and expertise, are best positioned to customize their approaches to meet these individual needs. They know how to adapt to their students’ varying learning styles. However, AI-driven platforms restrict their ability to do so effectively, resulting in a one-size-fits-all approach that fails to engage and inspire students to reach their maximum potential.
The implications of this depersonalization are far-reaching. By diminishing(降低) the role of instructors as facilitators of meaningful educational interactions, we run the risk of preventing the growth of critical thinking and problem-solving skills among students.
Education should not merely focus on knowledge acquisition (习得), but should also develop the ability to analyze, evaluate, and apply that knowledge in real-world contexts. It should help one’s mind grow, not simply possess information. Through dynamic classroom discussions, cooperative projects, and hands-on activities, instructors play a vital role in cultivating these essential skills. AI-driven platforms, with their standardized solutions and automated features, are ill-equipped to provide the same level of engagement and intellectual stimulation as human instructors. While AI-driven platforms undeniably have their advantages, we must not lose sight of the importance of preserving instructors’ autonomy and the educational experience they provide.
8. Why do AI-driven tools fail to help instructors adjust their teaching methods
A. Their solutions will be challenged. B. They don’t have professional judgement.
C. Their digital content is set previously. D. They think little of the students’ autonomy.
9. What advantage do instructors have over AI-driven tools
A. They are more professional. B. They can satisfy individual needs.
C. They have higher efficiency. D. They adopt one-size-fits-all approach.
10. In which aspect does depersonalization in education influence on students
A. Their response in classroom discussions.
B. Their ability in solving real life problems.
C. Their willingness to cooperate with others.
D. Their adaptability to various learning styles.
11. What should education focus on apart from knowledge acquisition
A. Doing cooperative projects. B. Organizing hands-on activities.
C. Developing thinking ability. D. Evaluating students’ development.
D
Different forests in the western United States have unique combinations of trees and birds. One type has broad-leaved trees like ash and cottonwood, along with kingbirds. Anoher type has evergreen trees like pine and white spruce, along with juncos. Ecologists in the early twentieth century once claimed these ecological communities were precisely balanced systems, where every species had a specific role to play in a complex machine. They believed that removing or adding any plant, bird, or insect, could disrupt this balance and harm the habitat. One of these pioneer ecologists was Frederick Clements, who believed that in a specific climate area, ecological communities gradually moved toward the most balanced and integrated group of species in that region.
Clements was challenged by another pioneer ecologist, Henry Gleason, who took the opposite view. Gleason viewed the community as largely a group of species with similar tolerances to the stresses given by climate and other factors typical of the region. Gleason thought chance played a big role in where species lived. His concept suggests that nature is not highly integrated. Each species is responding individually to its surroundings. Gleason thought things could change in different ways, depending upon local conditions.
Who was right It now appears that Gleason was more accurate than Clements. The ecological community is mostly a random collection of species with similar responses to a particular climate. Ash trees are found in association with cottonwood trees because both can survive well on floodplains and the competition between them is not so strong that only one can survive.
This is not to say that precise harmonies are not present within communities. Most flowering plants rely on pollinators (传粉者). But if we see a precise balance of nature, it is largely a product of our perception, due to the false belief that nature, especially a complex system like a forest, seems so unchanging from one day to the next.
12. Early 20th century ecologists commonly claimed that___________.
A. each species plays a specific role in the community
B. new species need to be added as communities develop
C. maintaining precise balance in community is challenging
D. it is important to protect communities by removing certain species
13. According to Gleason, what influences where species live
A. How individualistic the species is. B. Their ability to tolerate the stresses there.
C. The number of similar species present. D. Their ways to integrate with other species.
14. Why does the author mention two kinds of trees in paragraph 3
A. To show greater species variety in floodplains.
B. To provide evidence to support Clements’ theory.
C. To give an example of species that prefer to live on floodplains.
D. To support the current view on how ecological communities develop.
15. The underlined word “perception” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to____________.
A. culture B. environment C. understanding D. education

For some crazy reason, I was relaxed over what I was about to do, even though I’d never done it before. I raised the javelin over my head, took six quick steps and let the thing go. The same voice that had urged me into throwing it, now told me it was a good throw.

A
For high school students, just thinking about your career probably isn’t enough. You have to actively do some research and plan. Here are some of the best careers for the future and how you can get your foot in the door.
Registered Nurses
To become registered nurses, you’re going to need either an associate degree in nursing, a Bachelor of Science in nursing, or another officially approved diploma(文凭) from a nursing program. If you want to be a practicing physician, you’ll need a medical degree in your chosen field on top of your four-year degree.
Data Analysts
Big data is a growing field with profitable opportunities for college graduates. You are required to have a master’s degree in computer science or another related field. Data science is a traditionally male-dominated industry and only 26 percent are held by women. Thankfully, it is holding out an olive branch to females and there are some terrific programs specially designed for them to break into this dynamic field.
Plumbers (管道工) and Electricians
Not all of the best careers for the future will require a four-year undergraduate degree. There’s a serious demand for skilled positions jobs like plumbers and technicians. Many of these positions require a high school degree and often an associate degree in a related field, but don’t necessarily require graduation from a four-year university.
Cybersecurity (网络安全) Experts
The average salaries for cybersecurity experts can start at $80, 000 for IT Security Consultants and can reach six figures for other positions such as a security director. The best way to start your path in cybersecurity is with a bachelor’s degree in computer science, information technology, engineering, or other related fields.

On the outside, 12-year-old Luna seems like your average kid. It's not until you get to know her that you learn that Luna is anything but average.
Born with a heart defect (缺陷)called dextrocardia, Luna has had three open-heart operations and continues to pursue her interests in art and fashion. But when Luna was approached by athletic shoe company Saucony to design a shoe for sale across the country, it came as quite a surprise.
“This is so incredible. I got to use my art and creativity for something new that I'd never thought I'd be able to design,“ Luna said. She is one of six patients from Boston Children's Hospital ( BCH) who have partnered with Saucony to design their own shoe to launch the Shoes with Soul campaign.
“Rather than just a donation, we wanted to create an experience and a moment that would not only raise money, but also awareness to highlight all the amazing work that's being done at BCH,“ says Chris, Saucony's vice president. “Specifically, we wanted to give some of the BCH kids an opportunity to share their story and their talents with the world. ”
Luna's design is fashion. u On the tongue ,they digitalized one of my drawings, and then on bottom it's a really bright pink color, and on the inside ,the sole of the shoe is actually another drawing I did of a sunset,“ she said. "Thinking about kids everywhere around the world wearing my shoe is amazing. It blows my mind.”
The income from the shoe sales will benefit the Boston Children's Hospital Cardiac Fitness Program, which encourages kids to “find your possible" through personalized exercise programs tailored for each individual patient's heart condition.
“It feels really good to help people and it's really something I can relate to,“ says Luna. “The advice I would give a kid or someone like me is never give up. There are a lot of kids out there with your condition and you're not alone.”
4. What can we learn from Chris' words
A. It's unwise to raise money.
B. It's optional to seek donations.
C. It's wonderful to study art.
D. It's necessary to show kids' talents.
5. What does Luna mean by “It blows my mind" in paragraph 5
A. I'm overjoyed. B. ['m very serious.
C. My mind goes blank. D. My mind is racing.
6. Which of the following best describes Luna
A. Gifted and determined. B. Generous and serious.
C. Grateful and helpful. D. Creative and sensitive.
7. What is the text mainly intended to do
A. Tell us a story of a disabled girl.
B. Set a good example to the disabled.
C. Launch Saucony's new brand shoes.
D. Introduce a campaign with kid patients.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. A 7. D

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in educational technology has brought convenience and efficiency to classrooms worldwide. However, despite these advancements, it is crucial to recognize the significant challenges it poses to the autonomy and professional judgment of instructors. One of the primary concerns associated with AI-driven tools in education is the depersonalization of instruction. These tools often rely on pre-packaged digital content and standardized solutions, leaving little room for instructors to tailor their teaching methods.
Each student possesses unique characteristics, including distinct learning styles, strengths, and weaknesses. Instructors, armed with their wealth of experience and expertise, are best positioned to customize their approaches to meet these individual needs. They know how to adapt to their students’ varying learning styles. However, AI-driven platforms restrict their ability to do so effectively, resulting in a one-size-fits-all approach that fails to engage and inspire students to reach their maximum potential.
The implications of this depersonalization are far-reaching. By diminishing(降低) the role of instructors as facilitators of meaningful educational interactions, we run the risk of preventing the growth of critical thinking and problem-solving skills among students.
Education should not merely focus on knowledge acquisition (习得), but should also develop the ability to analyze, evaluate, and apply that knowledge in real-world contexts. It should help one’s mind grow, not simply possess information. Through dynamic classroom discussions, cooperative projects, and hands-on activities, instructors play a vital role in cultivating these essential skills. AI-driven platforms, with their standardized solutions and automated features, are ill-equipped to provide the same level of engagement and intellectual stimulation as human instructors. While AI-driven platforms undeniably have their advantages, we must not lose sight of the importance of preserving instructors’ autonomy and the educational experience they provide.
8. Why do AI-driven tools fail to help instructors adjust their teaching methods
A. Their solutions will be challenged. B. They don’t have professional judgement.
C. Their digital content is set previously. D. They think little of the students’ autonomy.
9. What advantage do instructors have over AI-driven tools
A. They are more professional. B. They can satisfy individual needs.
C. They have higher efficiency. D. They adopt one-size-fits-all approach.
10. In which aspect does depersonalization in education influence on students
A. Their response in classroom discussions.
B. Their ability in solving real life problems.
C. Their willingness to cooperate with others.
D. Their adaptability to various learning styles.
11 What should education focus on apart from knowledge acquisition
A. Doing cooperative projects. B. Organizing hands-on activities.
C. Developing thinking ability. D. Evaluating students’ development.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. C
D
Different forests in the western United States have unique combinations of trees and birds. One type has broad-leaved trees like ash and cottonwood, along with kingbirds. Anoher type has evergreen trees like pine and white spruce, along with juncos. Ecologists in the early twentieth century once claimed these ecological communities were precisely balanced systems, where every species had a specific role to play in a complex machine. They believed that removing or adding any plant, bird, or insect, could disrupt this balance and harm the habitat. One of these pioneer ecologists was Frederick Clements, who believed that in a specific climate area, ecological communities gradually moved toward the most balanced and integrated group of species in that region.
Clements was challenged by another pioneer ecologist, Henry Gleason, who took the opposite view. Gleason viewed the community as largely a group of species with similar tolerances to the stresses given by climate and other factors typical of the region. Gleason thought chance played a big role in where species lived. His concept suggests that nature is not highly integrated. Each species is responding individually to its surroundings. Gleason thought things could change in different ways, depending upon local conditions.
Who was right It now appears that Gleason was more accurate than Clements. The ecological community is mostly a random collection of species with similar responses to a particular climate. Ash trees are found in association with cottonwood trees because both can survive well on floodplains and the competition between them is not so strong that only one can survive.
This is not to say that precise harmonies are not present within communities. Most flowering plants rely on pollinators (传粉者). But if we see a precise balance of nature, it is largely a product of our perception, due to the false belief that nature, especially a complex system like a forest, seems so unchanging from one day to the next.
12. Early 20th century ecologists commonly claimed that___________.
A. each species plays a specific role in the community
B. new species need to be added as communities develop
C. maintaining precise balance in community is challenging
D. it is important to protect communities by removing certain species
13. According to Gleason, what influences where species live
A. How individualistic the species is. B. Their ability to tolerate the stresses there.
C. The number of similar species present. D. Their ways to integrate with other species.
14. Why does the author mention two kinds of trees in paragraph 3
A. To show greater species variety in floodplains.
B. To provide evidence to support Clements’ theory.
C. To give an example of species that prefer to live on floodplains.
D. To support the current view on how ecological communities develop.
15. The underlined word “perception” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to____________.
A. culture B. environment C. understanding D. education
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C

52. 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。
If there’s one thing I can’t stand people saying, it’s “I’m not good at anything. I don’t have any talent.” I just don’t buy that at all. To me, everyone has at least one talent, and while it sometimes takes you a lifetime to find, it does exist. There was a time when I didn’t believe that. What changed my mind was a seemingly small event that took place in 2023.
At that time, I was a high school student. I was a funny-looking skinny boy named Eugene Orowitz, who weighed barely 100 pounds. I was a good student, but as far as I was concerned, in just about every other department I was a loser. I wanted to fit in, to be someone and do something well. But I hadn’t found anything I was good at. One sunny afternoon, our gym class went out to the school’s running track. The teacher taught us various track and field events. I was a loser in all of them. Then came the javelin (标枪). Suddenly something inside me began saying, “Try it! Try it!” I had to wait for my turn, though, because several others wanted a break at the javelin too. Shy and scared, I watched them, trying not to look too eager. Finally, when everyone had had a chance to throw-the best throw going about 30 yards-I looked at the teacher.
“Hey, Orowitz, you want to try ” he asked.
Embarrassed, I looked down, but managed to nod my head.
“Well, come on then,” he said impatiently, and handed me the javelin. Behind me I could hear some of my classmates laughing. As I grasped the javelin in my hand, I was seized with a strange feeling-a new-found excitement. For some crazy reason, I was relaxed over what I was about to do, even though I’d never done it before. I raised the javelin over my head, took six quick steps and let the thing go. The same voice that had urged me into throwing it, now told me it was a good throw.

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I watched as the spear took off.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The night I took the javelin home with me.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I watched as the spear took off. My heart quickened as the Javelin sailed through the sky and finally inserted heavily into the ground, surpassing 30 yards. It turned out to be the best throw. At the sight of the result, all my classmates present burst into thunderous applause. At that moment, the teacher patted me on the shoulder, smiling to encourage me to join the school team and practice more. Suddenly, a surge of confidence rose up inside me and I felt I gradually fitted in my class.
That night I took the javelin home with me. I stared at the javelin, reflecting on what had happened in the gym class. A thought suddenly occurred to me that I should practice it hard. The following months witnessed my efforts in practicing javelin. Finally, the glory of the champion in a javelin competition enveloped me and a smile spread across my face when I stepped onto the award platform. At the moment, it downed on me that everyone has a talent as long as he or she can make attempts with courage.
