Should Middle School Students Use AI to Help with Homework
In the age of technology, AI tools like ChatGPT are becoming common in classrooms. A recent survey shows that about three quarters of Shanghai middle school students have tried AI for homework. This raises an important question: Is it proper for teenagers to use AI for school assignments
Tom (Class 8, Grade 9): "AI helps me understand difficult concepts faster. Last week, I used an AI math solver when stuck on geometry(几何学). It didn't just give answers—it explained each step clearly. Now I can solve similar problems myself. AI is like having a patient tutor(导师) available 24/7." Jim (Class 5, Grade 9): "My cousin relied too much on AI for science reports. When the school banned AI tools last month, he couldn't even write a simple lab summary. Real learning requires struggle(挣扎，思考)—that's how our brains develop problem-solving skills."
Amelia (Class 3, Grade 8): "As the class monitor, I need to balance my schoolwork and club activities. AI helps me organize English essays efficiently. For example, it suggests better vocabulary while keeping my own ideas. This saves time for basketball practice and volunteer work." Gigi (Class 11, Grade 7): "AI-made history essays always get mistakes. Last month, an AI tool mixed up details about the Song Dynasty. Teachers want our original thoughts, not computer-generated(电脑合成的) words. How can we learn critical thinking if machines do all the work "
( ) 55. What percentage of Shanghai students have tried AI for homework according to the survey
30%. B. 50%. C.60%. D.75%.
( ) 56. How did Tom benefit from using AI for geometry
A.He got higher exam scores immediately.
B. He learned problem-solving steps clearly.
C. He finished homework faster than classmates.
D. He discovered new geometric theories.
( ) 57. Why does Amelia find AI useful for English essays
A. It writes complete essays automatically.
B. It improves vocabulary while keeping her ideas.
C. It corrects grammar mistakes perfectly.
D. It makes teachers give higher grades.
( ) 58. What happened when Jim's cousin couldn't use AI
He won a science competition. B. He failed to write a simple report.
C. He developed better handwriting. D. He created original lab equipment.
( ) 59. Why does the author write this passage
A.To advertise new AI products for students.
B.To present balanced arguments about AI usage.
C.To criticize modern education systems.
D.To explain how AI tools technically work.
( ) 60. Where can we probably read about this passage
In a travel guidance. B. On a noticeboard.
C.On a teenager forum. D. On a fashion magazine.
B. Choose the best answer and complete the passage (选择最恰当的选项完成短文)6%
Good communication is like building a strong bridge between people. It helps us understand each other better and solve problems more easily. Here are some useful tips to improve your communication skills.
First, always be a good ___61__. When someone is speaking, avoid interrupting them. Instead, focus on their words and show that you care by nodding or saying "I see." This makes the speaker feel valued.
Second, use simple and clear language. For example, instead of saying "I am experiencing dissatisfaction," you could say "I’m unhappy with this." Being direct helps everyone understand your ___62___ .
Third, pay attention to body language. Smiling and keeping eye contact show that you are friendly. On the other hand, crossing your arms might make you look ___63___ . A relaxed posture helps others trust you.
Fourth, ask questions when you don’t understand something. Saying "Could you explain that again " is better than pretending to know. Questions also let the speaker know you are ____64__ in the conversation.
Finally, always respect different opinions. You don’t have to agree with everyone, but you should listen patiently. For instance, if a friend says, "I think summer is the worst season," you could reply, "That’s interesting! Why do you think so " This opens a deeper ___65___ .
Remember, communication isn’t just about talking—it’s about connecting. With practice, you’ll find it easier to share ideas and ___66___ strong relationships.
( ) 61. A. speaker B. listener C. player D. actor
( ) 62. A. feelings B. mistakes C. hobbies D. decisions
( ) 63. A. confident B. polite C. impatient D. excited
( ) 64. A. lost B. worried C. surprised D. interested
( ) 65. A. secret B. problem C. discussion D. competition
( ) 66. A. forget B. avoid C. build D. break

Last winter, our school organized a charity sale to raise funds for children in mountain areas. As the monitor, I was responsible for managing the money box. On the first day, I noticed the donation box had a small hole, but I ignored it, thinking it wouldn’t cause problems.
By noon, several coins had slipped through the gap and rolled under the table. My classmate Lily pointed it out, but I didn't report it to the teacher because of fearing criticism. That evening, I counted the money and realized we’d lost nearly 50 yuan.
The next morning, I gathered courage and apologized to our teacher, Ms. Chen. To my surprise, she praised my honesty. Together, we fixed the box with tape. During the sale, I explained the reasons to donors, and many added extra coins to support us. By the end of the week, we’d collected 1,200 yuan, which is over our goal.
Ms. Chen later told me, “True responsibility means facing mistakes bravely and fixing them.” I felt less stressed but also understood that responsibility isn’t just about success—it’s about how we handle problems.
IV. Listen and fill in the blanks with the words you hear. (听短文完成下列内容。每空格限填一词)
Last month, our class was assigned a science project to create a model of a sustainable city. Mrs. Lee, our teacher, divided us into groups of four. My team included Emma, a creative thinker; Jack, skilled at building models; Lucy, who loved researching; and me, responsible for organizing tasks.
At first, we had difficulty agreeing on ideas. During our first meeting, Mrs. Lee reminded us, "True teamwork means listening and cooperating." We decided to combine both visions. Lucy found articles about renewable energy, and Jack sketched the layout. I created a timeline to ensure we finished on schedule.
One challenge arose later but we worked together, we fixed the issue in just 20 minutes.
On presentation day, our model impressed the class. Mrs.Lee praised our collaboration: "You didn’t just build a city—you built trust." We scored full marks, but the real reward was learning how shared effort turns challenges into achievements.
