Text 10
Well, I remember the first time I went abroad. I was eleven years old at the time，and we had a school trip to Paris. We took a coach to London airport to catch the plane，and it was about a three-hour drive, down the motorway, and about halfway we stopped at a service station and had lunch. And then we got back on the coach and continued our journey to the airport and when we were nearly at the airport, the teacher suddenly remembered she had left our passports in the service station. So we went all the way back there. Finally, we got on the plane, and arrived in Paris. After we got to Paris, I bought some cream cakes. They were so good that I ate five cream cakes... and I was sick. Then I didn't get out of bed for three days... I was so ill.

第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Take a Trip to Alaska's Distant Aleutian Islands
Natural landscapes
Halfway between the United States and Japan is Alaska's Adak Island. It is one of the remote Aleutian islands. It is a place best known for its natural beauty. The coast is home to rich wildlife. Purple lupine flowers can be seen along roads through grassy hills. Hot springs cover the landscape. Snow－topped mountains and the Great Sitkin volcano rise in the distance.
Locals
Adak Island is home to the native Aleut people. In town, fewer than 100 people live fulltime in old military houses. These houses sit in mostly empty neighborhoods with other buildings in need of repair.
Activities
It is not easy to get to Adak Island. It requires a four－hour plane trip from Anchorage. People visit Adak to hunt, watch birds, climb mountains, or examine one of the many abandoned military bases. People also come to hike. There are many beautiful hikes on the island. One at Finger Bay offers views of the volcano. A hike to Lake Bonnie Rose includes an old abandoned military building built into hills.
At Horseshoe Bay, brave people can climb down a rope to the coast below and nearby hot springs. At Clam Lagoon, people can watch harbor seals and sea lions playing in the water and warming themselves on the rocks.
For bird watchers, the area is wonderful. And Adak's strange “National Forest” is also worth a visit. This is a small collection of evergreen trees in an otherwise nearly treeless landscape.
Charge for 8 days
The single price: $1，400 per person
The group price: $1，200 per person (over 2 persons)
Accommodation and train tickets included

Raj Patel was 5, traveling with his family to India from England. A young girl, no older than 12, approached their car, carrying a crying baby, begging for money and food. “My parents embarrassingly pushed some money out to her from the window，” Patel says. “Since then, the journey has been to figure out why this stuff happens.”
Upon returning to England, Patel decided to rent out his toys and raise money to stop hunger. It didn't take him long to realize his attempts would not fix the problem. While attending Oxford University, Patel had an idea to shift his major to mathematics, believing that mathematics could handle the crisis of hunger and poverty (贫困). But as he dived deeper into the topic, he learned the political and systemic side of the story. So he changed his undergraduate degree back to economics and added the study of philosophy and politics to his pursuits (事业).
After graduation, he worked for the World Bank and the United Nations. But even that, he says, didn't lead to workable solutions (解决方案).
His first book，Stuffed and Starved, was a breakout work written for a general audience. While living in Africa, Patel created a number of documentaries but none gained much popularity until he met Anita Chitaya, an activist in Bwabwa, a remote village in Malawi. Anita works with a local organization that has fought hunger in Malawi for decades. She helps farmers to experiment with crops to grow more nutritious food. Her story evolved into an 11-year project—The Ants & the Grasshopper, which earned the Moving Mountains Award.
As the decade of research, filming and editing carries on, this drought-stricken village goes from being self-sufficient through sustainable farming practices to struggling to grow enough nutritious food and access clean, drinkable water. Climate change ended up being another part of the story.
Patel knows that he needs to find other ways to reach audiences. He released a widely shared YouTube video about capitalism, chicken nuggets (鸡块) and the global hunger crisis. He's given 20-minute TED Talks that summarize the intentions of his books. No matter what gets thrown his way, Patel seems to course-correct in order to continue pursuing his mission.

A humanoid robot can relay video and touch sensations to a person wearing a haptic (触觉内) feedback suit and a virtual reality (VR) headset hundreds of kilometres away, offering a way for people to attend events without travelling.
The iCub3 robot is a 52-kilogram, 125-centimetre-tall robot with 54 joints across its body. Its head contains two cameras where a human's eyes would be, and an Internet-connected computer where the brain would go. Along with the cameras, sensors covering its body send data to the robot's “brain”. These sensations are then reproduced on a suit and VR headset worn by a remote human operator.
When the operators react to what they see and feel, the suit's sensors pick up the movements and the robot matches them. “The key is to translate every signal and bit of digital data that can be sent through the network.” says Stefano Dafarra, who was part of the iCub3 team. There can be a small delay of up to 100 milliseconds to capture and transmit the visual shots, but the operator can ease this by moving slightly slower than normal.
The team demonstrated the robot at the Venice Biennale, where it wandered through an exhibition while its operator stood 290 kilometres away in Genoa. Dafarra hopes people will use the iCub3 to attend events remotely, reducing the need to travel. “But at present, a fall could be hugely damaging to the robot, and it's uncertain whether it could stand up again on its own，” he says.
“iCub3 is an interesting robot and offers clear advantages from the previous versions.” says Jonathan Aitken, whose laboratory owns a prior version of the robot. However, he is disappointed that the team wasn't clear in its research about the data transmission requirements of the new version of the robot. “It would be good to know just how much data was required, and what the upper and lower bounds were.” he says.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个人形机器人可以将视频和触觉传递给数百公里外穿着触觉反馈服和戴着虚拟现实耳机的人，让人们无需旅行就能参加活动。这项技术可能应用于虚拟旅游，但是仍有不足，需要改进。
28．What's the principle behind the humanoid robot
A．It conveys sensations to the wearer and acts accordingly.
B.It receives commands from an operator through the Internet.
C．The cameras take pictures and then interact with the sensors.
D．The computer in the robot processes the data and gives orders.
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。文章第二段讲到“Along with the cameras, sensors covering its body send data to the robot's ‘brain’. These sensations are then reproduced on a suit and VR headset worn by a remote human operator.”可知，人形机器人背后的原理是它将这些感知传达给佩戴者并据此行动。故选A。
29．Which aspect of life may the technology be applied to
A．Medical consultation.
B．Sports events.
C．Outdoor workouts.
D．Virtual tourism.
答案：D
解析：推理判断题。文章第一段“A humanoid robot can relay video and touch sensations to a person wearing a haptic (触觉内) feedback suit and a virtual reality (VR) headset hundreds of kilometres away, offering a way for people to attend events without travelling.”以及倒数第二段讲到“The team demonstrated the robot at the Venice Biennale, where it wandered through an exhibition while its operator stood 290 kilometres away in Genoa.”可知，这项技术可能应用于虚拟旅游。故选D。

As Geoffrey Hinton, widely seen as the godfather of artificial intelligence, warns about growing dangers from how it is developing, businesses are scrambling to see how they can use the technology to their advantage.
Recently, the hot topic is how to employ ChatGPT style technology across their businesses as quickly as possible. A boss looked at his computer, entered the transcript of a customer complaint call, and asked ChatGPT to respond to it based on set of rules. In about a minute it came up with a very credible answer, which was 85% accurate but only cost 1% of the cost of employing staff. The good news for all is the pure enhancement to productivity．
Technology has improved the quality of life. A lot of innovation has made our entertainment time more enjoyable. But the real shock has been that these technologies are usable in a commercial context, not just for “low-cognitive, repetitive” tasks，i. e. robotic-tasks likely to be automated.
The surprise has been how employable the technology is to highly creative, high-value work. Specifically, creating an image, or music, or coding a programme can be achieved in seconds rather than weeks of briefing and refining. So the good news is that rapid employment of this technology could solve the longstanding productivity crisis. The bad news is that it could occur so rapidly as to overtake workers' ability to adapt in time, creating social crisis. Could we face in call centers and creative studios in the 2020s, the equivalent of what happened in the coal mines in the 1980s
Some individuals have started to suggest that states should provide a basic income due to the possibility of AI leading to job loss. The response of tech enthusiasts is that “You won't be replaced by an AI, but you might be replaced by someone who knows how to use AI”. But they used to say that's why everybody should learn how to code. That might not be such wise career advice any more.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了被广泛视为人工智能教父的杰弗里·辛顿(Geoffrey Hinton)警告称，人工智能的发展方式带来的危险越来越大，企业正在争先恐后地寻找如何利用这项技术为自己服务。
32．What do we learn about ChatGPT
A．It improves customers' satisfaction.
B．It enhances productivity and reduces cost.
C．It perfects customers' ability to summarize.
D．It revolutionizes the business with accuracy.
答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中“A boss looked at his computer, entered the transcript of a customer complaint call, and asked ChatGPT to respond to it based on set of rules. In about a minute it came up with a very credible answer, which was 85% accurate but only cost 1% of the cost of employing staff. The good news for all is the pure enhancement to productivity.”可知，关于ChatGPT我们知道，它提高了生产率，降低了成本。
33．How has technology influenced individuals
A．By enriching leisure time.
B．By increasing dependence.
C．By simplifying people's work.
D．By reshaping entertainment forms.
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中“Technology has improved the quality of life. A lot of innovation has made our entertainment time more enjoyable.”可知，科技是通过丰富闲暇时间来影响个人的。
34．What does the underlined word “equivalent” in Paragraph 4 mean
A．Alternative. B．Opposite.
C．Similarity. D．Reference.
答案：C
解析：词义猜测题。根据第四段中“The bad news is that it could occur so rapidly as to overtake workers' ability to adapt in time, creating social crisis.”以及画线单词句中“Could we face in call centers and creative studios in the 2020s，...what happened in the coal mines in the 1980s？”可推知，人工智能的发展可能会造成社会危机，画线词所在句应该讲述不好的事情，此处为我们会在呼叫中心和创意工作室面临类似于20世纪80年代煤矿发生的事情吗？故可猜测，画线单词equivalent为“类似”的意思。
35．What is the author's attitude towards the application of AI
A．Intolerant. B．Favorable.
C．Indifferent. D．Objective.
答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段可推知，对人工智能的应用，作者并未有明确或褒或贬的个人观点，可得出作者对人工智能持客观的态度。

Here are some ways you can change your inner thoughts to stop stress having an effect on your mental and physical health.
Exercise
Exercise can be used as a tool to enable you to deal with stress. The feel-good chemicals released (释放) by the brain when you exercise give a sense of well-being and calm. __36__ You can then face any trouble in your life with more confidence.
Keep a journal
__37__ You can keep a diary to write down your thoughts and record successes you are thankful for. This will make sure the positive things are more important in your mind. This can remind you that whatever stress there is, good things are still happening to you and you're still progressing and succeeding in life.
Connect with others
Having some people who support you helps you to feel calm. When you meet with difficulties, there are people who will have your back. You feel much less stressed when you have friends and family on your side. Build your support network by giving to others when they need you.__38__
Improve your sleep
Tiredness, the inability to think straight and sleep deprivation (缺乏) make you feel stressed. Improving sleep quality itself does a lot in reducing stress. __39__ You can also try practicing breathing and relaxation. Keep your bedroom as a cool and calm place.
Prioritize yourself
Make sure you are giving yourself some time in your week. __40__ Schedule “me time” and time to practice self-care. Spare time to do what you enjoy and find fun. It's necessary to help you feel strong and able to deal with stress.
A．Be really strict with work-life dividing line.
B．Don't be afraid to ask for the same in return.
C．It's of great importance to choose someone you trust.
D．Put aside some screen-free time before going to bed.
E．Be organized, prepared and on time for jobs that matter to you.
F．People often care about what doesn't go right instead of what goes well.
G．Challenging yourself to keep working out can make you build self-respect.

40．答案：A
解析：根据空后的“Schedule ‘me time’ and time to practice self-care. Spare time to do what you enjoy and find fun.”可知，我们应该划分出工作时间和生活时间。选项A与下文内容一致，指的是要划分工作和生活的界限，让自己在空闲时间做自己喜欢的事情。故选A。
第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
On a spring day last year, I stood in the back of the cafeteria at the middle school where I worked. While the students were eating lunch, one of our teachers took the stage next to a load of __41__ items. “Today is Lost and Found Day，” she said. “I'm going to __42__ these things up, and if you see something that __43__ you, please come get it.” I must have missed the __44__， but I'd been all ears.
As the teacher held up hats, gloves and backpacks, my mind __45__—as it often did—to my 24-year-old son, Jake. He was serving in a voluntary program in South Africa. I hadn't seen him in more than a year, but we were __46__ him home in just a few days. It __47__ seemed real, and I couldn't wait to have him in my arms.
My __48__ was drawn back to the teacher onstage. “There's just one more，” she called out. She pulled back the stage __49__. “Who does this belong to？” Jake was standing there wearing a(n) __50__ smile and holding a bunch of flowers. I tried __51__ to hold back the tears as he hurried toward me. The students __52__ and cheered.

第二节(满分25分)
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。
Avoiding people in a small town requires the skills of a spy.So Brad Ryan moved like a ghost, taking precautions to stay far away from the woman who he thought had broken his heart. He had not seen or spoken to Grandma Joy for six years.
One day, he received a call from his mom, saying his elder sister had announced her engagement and a wedding date had been set for a Duncan Falls church. Brad's heart sank, because Grandma Joy would be there. But he loved his sister, and there was no way he'd miss the wedding.
Despite Joy Ryan's first name, there were lots of sufferings and regrets instead of joy in her life. She grew up in a home with no electricity, running water or plumbing. She attended a one-room schoolhouse. And she suffered the loss of two sons. She was a widow (寡妇) for 14 years. She lived a small life that stopped at the edge of the county line. And she'd never had the chance to see what she called the great outdoors other than a trip to see relatives in Louisiana.
“My earliest memory of her is when I was 3.” said Brad. “We'd walk to Blue Rock State Park, which is close in her house. She'd help me lift rocks in the creek (小溪) to find crawfish. We'd hold them in our hands and talk about how beautiful it was being in nature. No one in my family thought like that.”
However, as Brad entered adolescence, he was growing emotionally distant from his family, with occasional quarrels. One day, a violent conflict broke out between Brad and his father. Brad turned to his grandma, hoping for help or just a kind word. But he got neither. He found Grandma Joy was in his father's side. “That was the end of my relationship with Grandma Joy.” he said.
At the wedding venue, on seeing Grandma Joy, thin and gaunt (憔悴的). Brad found himself thinking a lot about her and the happy time they spent together. It puzzled him why that memory in particular stayed with him. Now grandma, 78, walked unsteadily into the Duncan Falls church.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Brad hesitantly walked over to her.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After that day, Brad decided not to leave any regrets in his grandma's life.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
参考范文：
Brad hesitantly walked over to her. He gave grandma his arm to help her walk steadily. Stunned but delighted, grandma was about to say something when she was interrupted by Brad, “Grandma, I owe you an apology.” Grandma was overwhelmingly moved, saying that she should have given Brad more patience and understanding. That was a great regret for her in those years. They looked at each other with understanding smiles, their eyes glittering with tears of happiness. As the wedding ceremony began, they took seats next to each other, hand in hand.
After that day, Brad decided not to leave any regrets in his grandma's life. He began to spare more time to accompany grandma, taking her on trips to enjoy the most impressive scenery in the world. During the trips, Brad and grandma shared their life stories, sorrows and joys. Traveling far from Duncan Falls was life-changing for grandma as well as Brad himself. They were not just traveling partners, not just a grandmother and grandson, but friends. For Grandma Joy, her life was eventually full of joys. For Brad, he realized if he hadn't reached out to his grandma, it would be a lifelong regret.
【导语】 故事讲述了布拉德·瑞恩与乔伊奶奶之间的复杂关系。在小镇中，他避开与她的接触，但在姐姐的婚礼上重新联络。一个道歉改变了一切，两人重建联系并开始共同旅行，分享生活故事和欣赏美景。这种转变不仅让乔伊奶奶找到喜悦，也使布拉德意识到珍惜时光的重要性。他们从祖孙转变为朋友，彼此填补了心中的遗憾。
【详解】 1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“布拉德犹豫地走向奶奶。”和第二段首句“从那天开始，布拉德决定不在奶奶的生活中留下任何遗憾。”可知，第一段可写：布拉德主动和奶奶解开心结，与此同时，奶奶也表述此事是她的遗憾。
②由第二段首句内容“从那天开始，布拉德决定不在奶奶的生活中留下任何遗憾。”可知，本段可写布拉德了解奶奶的想法，并且带奶奶一起尽力实现，不留遗憾。
2．续写线索：
布拉德和奶奶关系不好——参加姐姐婚礼会遇到奶奶——介绍奶奶曾经生活困苦且充满遗憾——和奶奶一起在公园的美好场景——和奶奶关系破裂：布拉德和家人吵架，奶奶站在了父母的一边——很久不见，布拉德看到奶奶走进姐姐的礼堂——与奶奶解开心结——帮助奶奶不留遗憾的生活。晚练3 Section Ⅲ Using Language

[2024·烟台高二检测]David Brown is known as the world's fastest completely blind runner. He was diagnosed with Kawasaki disease at 15 months old, which led him to completely lose his sight by age 13.
Brown says he was living in fear for a number of years until he discovered his passion for running. After winning an essay contest, he earned the ticket for the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008.It was at that time that he knew he wanted to compete himself.
Paralympic runners train and compete alongside sighted guides. At the Rio Games in 2016, Brown and his partner Jerome Avery ran 10.99 in the men's 100-meter dash to take home the gold. Brown made his way to running from another sport. He explains that he lost his left eye when he was 3, and lost vision in his right eye over time. He played basketball as a kid, but was increasingly getting injured because he couldn't see the ball coming.“ I took the opportunity to run on the playground, and realized I had some speed there，” he says.
He pursued his passion at the Missouri School for the Blind.Brown started at the school when he was 11, and it was there that he really started running track.
He got to his first Paralympic games by writing about running. Brown was one of the 25 winners of an essay contest that got to attend the event in Beijing. He says he wrote about how he used sports to overcome obstacles, noting that as he grew up he struggled with depression.
It's important to be in sync (同步) with your running partner. His new partner Steward says he doesn't have to slow down when running with Brown, because he's fast. “A 10- or 11-second race doesn't require much speaking，” Steward says.“ It's also an honor，” Brown says. He notes that Paralympic runners can't do what they do without guides like Steward, who could theoretically run solo but choose not to. He calls it “a great honor”．

Students in Melanie Good's “Physics and Science Fiction” course watched a clip (片段) from the movie Interstellar, showing an astronaut who has returned to Earth and is about to be reunited with his daughter. The students had just spent an hour learning about Einstein's theory of special relativity.
They knew that, because this astronaut had shot off at enormous speeds an explored near enormous gravitational fields in search of other worlds, his clock would run more slowly than his daughter's, stuck back on Earth. The astronaut was now 124 Earth years old, but he looked exactly like a 48-year-old, while his daughter was now elderly.
One student raised her hand. She understood how the time on two clocks could pass at different speeds, but why didn't bodies still age at the same rate Good, who is a lecturer from the Department of Physics & Astronomy in the University of Pittsburgh, took some time to eventually convince the student that relativity's predictions were accurate.
“I try to teach the physics first and then tie it into the sci-fi，” Good explained after class. While the course attracts mostly humanities majors trying to fulfill a science credit, it doesn't shy away from the toughest concepts in physics.
The trouble with using this kind of fiction as a teaching tool, she allowed, is that no single science fiction work gets everything right. However, she said, “It's OK to suspend disbelief. It's science fiction. Interstellar, for instance, does a pretty good job as an aid to teaching Einstein.”
Gurudev Dutt, an associate professor in Physics & Astronomy, taught the course prior to this semester.“Science fiction is probably what inspired me to get into science in the first place，” he said; perhaps it will inspire others. Bad examples can even be instructive for students, he noted, such as examining the absurdity of Superman flying around the world in the opposite direction of its rotation (转动), to turn back time.
Good said her class this semester also emphasizes the scientific method and how it can be a fruitful approach to academic inquiry in general.
5．Why did Good ask her students to watch a movie in class
A．To offer them a break from study.
B．To analyze the reasonability of fiction stories.
C．To illustrate the actual use of the theory of special relativity.
D．To use science fiction as a medium to discuss scientific concepts.
6．Why did the author mention one student's question in Paragraph 3
A．To highlight the student's strong desire to learn.
B．To explain how science fiction is related to physics education.
C．To demonstrate the difficulty of teaching complex scientific ideas.
D．To emphasize the importance of students asking questions in class.
7．What is the problem of Good's way of teaching
A．Lack of scientific accuracy in some science fiction works.
B.The difficulty of attracting science majors to a physics course.
C．The challenge of finding a science fiction work regarding physics.
D．Inability to cover all physics concepts mentioned in science fiction works.
8．What is Dutt's attitude toward some bad scientific examples in science fiction
A．They are sources of amusement.
B．They are too absurd to be referenced.
C．They have the potential to inspire the study of science.
D．They may be science phenomena yet to be explained.

A__体裁：说明文__主题语境：创作科幻小说__难度：★★☆☆☆
Hard science fiction stories are those in which the science is based on our understanding of the universe today, but allows for an important assumption. For example, a story that involved interplanetary space travel might assume a technology that we don't have today but all of the other science would be based on what we know. Including these things in a science fiction story can be a challenging task for a non-scientist.
Not being a trained scientist, I have always been fascinated by science. I took science classes in both high school and college. But my biggest lessons about science, the scientific method and the evolution (演变) of our knowledge of the universe came from reading Isaac Asimov's science essays.
As a hard science fiction writer, it is my job to illustrate science realistically and accurately, and yet I also have to try to imagine what reasonable changes and advances we might make in the future. I thought it might be useful for me to outline how I managed to stay informed about science and how that creates ideas for my stories.
I read New Scientist and Scientific American regularly, which keeps me up-to-date on those areas of science that most interest me. Oftentimes, the articles in New Scientist will cite journals on a subject that is important to a story I am writing. The book review columns in these magazines often have books of interest and I will note any that interest me and add them to my list.
With my most recent story, Take One for the Road, one reviewer found some difficulty believing my characters could have walked on the surface of Mercury. The reviewer said that if I'd only added one line indicating how they'd done this, it would have helped the story be more believable. It did teach me a good lesson.
Keeping up with science isn't easy. Isaac Asimov wrote an essay called The Sound of Panting which was about how difficult it was just to keep up with one's field. But it helps in my stories, and also makes me better informed about science.
1．How does the author describe hard science fiction
A．By giving an example.
B．By quoting a definition.
C．By making a comparison.
D．By providing a research result.
2．What contributed most to the author's knowledge of the universe
A．Taking science classes.
B．Reading a writer's essays.
C．Writing space travel fiction.
D．Participating in scientific research.
3．In what way does the author keep up with science now
A．By subscribing to science magazines.
B．By joining professional associations.
C．By following science news websites.
D．By contributing to book review columns.
4．What did the author think of the reviewer's comment on his recent story
A．It was unfair. B．It was confusing.
C．It was insightful. D．It was interesting.

[2024·福建三明高二下期末]How AI will transform education is very important to schools such as mine, teachers such as me, and hardworking care-givers such as the parents in my community. Could AI get our children to grasp new concepts and skills Might AI be better equipped to help them exploit their own intelligence After a few days watching my children use artificial intelligence-based learning tools, I can tell you the short answer is NO.
Human intelligence is different from the computer's. For one, human intelligence can not be measured. The brain is plastic, always developing and growing as we learn from our environments. In addition, human intelligence relies on human interaction. Exercising our intelligence is something we do naturally as we connect with others, consider the world around us and seek to improve our relationship to that world.
In education, there has been a movement toward social-emotional and problem-based learning. So educators attempt to motivate interest in subjects and skills by turning learning moments into communal (共有的) problem-solving events. When we combine analytical learning with social- emotional learning, students become mastered in the material we want them to know and get more excited about the learning process.
Using AI looks very different from this. AI learning often involves an individual working alone with a computer program. It can crowd source information to help students find facts about their environment, solve a problem and come up with a creative way forward. But AI doesn't force students to think through or keep anything. And simply being fed facts and information is not the same as “learning”．
It is fascinating to imagine that AI might cure what annoys us. Many parents don't have the resources—in time, money or energy—to teach their kids at home. If AI could fill the gaps, how great, right Yet the nature of AI “teaching” as it currently exists means that students merely level up without learning. When it comes to developing intelligence, nothing can beat what we humans have been doing, face to face, for centuries.
5．What do we know about human intelligence according to Paragraph 2
A．It is measured easily.
B．It is of great significance.
C．It is related to education.
D．It is changeable and interactive.
6．What can be inferred about AI learning from Paragraph 4
A．It is widely used at school.
B．It makes no difference to education.
C．It helps develop students' intelligence.
D．It does little help with students' true learning.
7．What is the author's attitude to AI learning
A．Unclear. B．Neutral.
C．Disapproving. D．Favorable.
8．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Could AI Really Teach Students
B．Should students Use AI Frequently
C．How Students Use AI in Their Study
D．How Teachers Interact with Students

A__体裁：记叙文__主题语境：人物故事__难度：★★★☆☆
[2024·河北保定六校联考高二下期中]When Alex Lin was 11 years old, he read an article about e-waste. The article said that people were dumping (倾倒) their e-waste in places it should never go. This was dangerous, the article said, because e-waste contains poisonous chemicals. These harmful substances can get into crops, animals, water supplies—and people.
“I was really worried，” Alex remembers. He showed the article to a few of his classmates. They were worried, too. “What if it's happening here We could be poisoning the environment and not even know it.”
“Maybe we can help，” Alex said. They made this their next project. First, they had to find out what the situation was in their town.So they sent out a survey. What they found amazed them: Of the people who answered the survey, only one in eight even knew what e-waste was, let alone how to properly dispose of (处理) it. One man had dug a huge hole in his backyard and dumped about 50 old Mac computers inside it.
Alex and his friends went into action. They advertised in the local newspaper, asking residents to bring their unwanted electronics to the school parking lot. The drive lasted two days, and they collected over 21，000 pounds of e-waste.
The next step was to set up a permanent e-waste drop-off center for the town and to find a company to recycle the waste. That was when Alex and his friends learned another scary fact about e-waste—some recycling companies don't dispose of e-waste safely themselves. Instead, they ship it overseas to countries where local environmental laws are not enforced (施行) and kids their age work at picking apart and burning e-waste with no protection. After a while, these kids get very sick. “We checked carefully online to make sure the company we chose didn't do this，” Alex says.
Because of the work of people like Alex and his team, more and more people are getting the message about safe disposal of e-waste.
1．What concerned Alex and his classmates
A．Their town was polluted on purpose.
B．People were ignorant of e-waste in their town.
C．Many good electronic devices were thrown away.
D．There were many low-quality electronic devices.
2．How did Alex find the survey results
A．Comforting. B．Amusing.
C．Misleading. D．Alarming.
3．Why did Alex's team check carefully online
A．To find a safe e-waste disposal method.
B．To learn more about the danger of e-waste.
C．To select a responsible recycling company.
D．To interpret international environmental laws.
4．What does Alex's story tell us
A．We might make a difference if we care.
B．We can start small but should dream big.
C．We should respect the wisdom of crowds.
D．We should borrow nothing from tomorrow.
B__体裁：说明文__主题语境：生活方式蠕变__难度：★★★☆☆
Lifestyle creep, sometimes called lifestyle inflation, is when living expenses and non-essential expenditures grow with income. In bad cases of lifestyle creep, this unnecessary spending can cut into savings.
Lifestyle creep is most visible among high earners, but anyone can fall into this trap. Who hasn't justified eating out more often every week after receiving a 1 or 2 percent raise The temptation of a more costly lifestyle is difficult to resist. If you're making enough money to afford a larger apartment, shouldn't you move to a larger apartment
Improving your standard of living as your income increases isn't an objectively bad thing, but when that habit cuts into your savings efforts, it can be a major financial risk. As Katie Waters, a financial planner at Stable Waters Financial, says, “Something's got to give.”
Then how to avoid lifestyle creep It just takes the same moderation and planning you used when you had a smaller income. If you can, head off lifestyle creep from the beginning by giving your raise or bonus money a purpose immediately. This can be to pay down debt, save for a house, or add to retirement accounts. This way, you won't be tempted to spend it on a non-necessity. If you fear you've already fallen victim to lifestyle inflation at any level, you can still turn your spending around. If you are putting all your expenses on your credit card, Waters recommends rearranging so only routine, fixed monthly expenses are on the card. “The monthly variable costs—food, clothing, personal care, purchases for the home, the list goes on—are where your money slips away easily.” Waters says, “Calculate your possible savings each pay period and put that money into a separate checking account.”
“As with all things, the secret to managing your finances like an adult is a constant strive for balance，” Waters says. “Have fun along the way, but don't__let__the__tail__wag__the__dog．”
5．What can we learn about lifestyle creep
A．It contributes to a pay raise.
B．It refers to a high living standard.
C．It sometimes affects a person's savings.
D．It only traps people with a high income.
6．Why does the author quote Katie Waters' words in Paragraph 3
A．To list the bad consequences of lifestyle creep.
B．To stress the importance of giving in one's life.
C.To show that lifestyle creep is quite understandable.
D．To support that lifestyle creep can cause financial problems.
7．What can be done to avoid lifestyle creep
A．Put all the expenses on a credit card.
B．Save the bonus money for a non-necessity.
C.Increase the monthly costs on food and clothing.
D．Set different checking accounts for specific purposes.
8．What do the underlined words “don't let the tail wag the dog” in the last paragraph mean
A．Don't bite the hand that feeds you.
B．Don't put the cart before the horse.
C．Don't do one thing under the cover of another.
D．Don't count the chicken before they are hatched.

层级二 主题阅读训练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲的是Alex Lin和他的团队如何关注并成功解决电子垃圾问题，提高公众对电子垃圾危害和处理方式的认知，以及他们为确保电子垃圾得到安全处理所做的努力。
1．答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中“What if it's happening here We could be poisoning the environment and not even know it.”可推知，亚历克斯和他的同学们担心的是人们对他们镇上的电子垃圾一无所知。故选B。
2．答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中“What they found amazed them: Of the people who answered the survey, only one in eight even knew what e-waste was, let alone how to properly dispose of (处理) it. One man had dug a huge hole in his backyard and dumped about 50 old Mac computers inside it.”可推知，亚历克斯认为他们的调查结果是令人担忧的。故选D。
3．答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“That was when Alex and his friends learned another scary fact about e-waste — some recycling companies don't dispose of e-waste safely themselves.”和“We checked carefully online to make sure the company we chose didn't do this ”可推知，亚历克斯的团队在网上仔细搜索是为了选择一家负责任的回收公司。故选C。
4．答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中“‘Maybe we can help，’ Alex said. They made this their next project.”，倒数第三段“Alex and his friends went into action. They advertised in the local newspaper, asking residents to bring their unwanted electronics to the school parking lot. The drive lasted two days, and they collected over 21，000 pounds of e-waste.”，倒数第二段中“The next step was to set up a permanent e-waste drop-off center for the town and to find a company to recycle the waste.”和最后一段“Because of the work of people like Alex and his team, more and more people are getting the message about safe disposal of e-waste.”可知，本文主要讲的是Alex Lin和他的团队如何关注并成功解决电子垃圾问题，提高公众对电子垃圾危害和处理方式的认知，以及他们为确保电子垃圾得到安全处理所做的努力。由此推知，Alex的故事告诉我们：如果我们在意，我们可能会有所作为。故选A。
B
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍“生活方式蠕变”是什么，对人们生活的影响以及如何避免生活方式蠕变。
5．答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中“In bad cases of lifestyle creep, this unnecessary spending can cut into savings.”可知，生活方式蠕变有时会影响一个人的储蓄。故选C。
6．答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段“Improving your standard of living as your income increases isn't an objectively bad thing, but when that habit cuts into your savings efforts, it can be a major financial risk. As Katie Waters, a financial planner at Stable Waters Financial, says, ‘Something's got to give.’”可推知，作者在第三段引用凯蒂·沃特斯的话是为了支持这种生活方式的蠕变会导致财务问题的观点。故选D。
7．答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中“Then how to avoid lifestyle creep It just takes the same moderation and planning you used when you had a smaller income.”以及“‘The monthly variable costs—food, clothing, personal care, purchases for the home, the list goes on—are where your money slips away easily.’ Waters says, ‘Calculate your possible savings each pay period and put that money into a separate checking account.’”可知，为特定目的设置不同的支票账户能避免生活方式的蠕变。故选D。
8．答案：B
解析：词句猜测题。根据画线句上文“As with all things, the secret to managing your finances like an adult is a constant strive for balance ”可知，沃特斯说与所有事情一样，像成年人一样管理财务的秘诀是不断努力保持平衡。即不应该让财务影响自己的生活，而是应该努力保持财务平衡，即“不要本末倒置”。故画线句意思是“不要本末倒置”。故选B。
Ⅱ.七选五
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人工智能对营销行业的几点影响。
1．答案：F
解析：设空处承上启下，起过渡作用。设空处上文指出随着技术的不断革新，市场营销行业也在不停地发展，设空处下文转而指向AI对行业的影响，F符合语境。F项中的“One of the most significant recent developments”与上文中的“is constantly developing”相照应。

解析：设空处位于段首，起提领话题的作用。根据小标题及本段内容可知，本段主要说明可以通过AI分析大量的客户数据，D项符合语境。D项中的“Customer analysis”与小标题中的“Customer Insights”相照应。
3．答案：B
解析：设空处承接上文，与下文为补充说明的关系。设空处上文指出AI对营销行业的内容创作产生了影响，设空处应当在此基础上进一步解释说明，B项符合语境。B项中的“generate a wide range of content types”与小标题“AI-Generated Content”和上文中的“content creation”相照应，且B项中的“a wide range of content types”概括下文提到的一些语篇类型。
4．答案：G
解析：设处承接上文，与上文为解释说明的关系。设空处上文指出AI对广告宣传也产生了影响，设空处应当作出进一步解释说明，G项符合语境。G项中的“advertising”与小标题中的“Advertising”和上文中的“advertising”构成原词复现。
5．答案：E
解析：设空处位于段末，起总结全段主旨，与小标题呼应的作用。设空处上文引用线上零售商的例子说明可以利用AI分析用户浏览和购买数据，从而确定最有效的广告投放，设空处应当在此基础上进行总结说明，E项符合语境。E项中的“campaigns”与小标题中的“Advertising”构成同义复现，且E项中的“deliver more effective campaigns and generate higher sales”与上文中的“identify the most effective ad placements”相照应。晚练4 单元语基自查
