Put off by my daughter for the moment, I returned to my project. This time. Joe Kelly, author of six parenting books, reminded me that it's more important to support your children than to “help” them After more research, I finally considered one piece of advice from a psychologist Children model their behavior after their parents'. This means it's valuable to show them how to structure and complete a project.

There are five trillion (万亿) pieces of plastic in our oceans. Most of the plastic found at the bottom of the sea is waste such as plastic bottles and bags, designed to be used just once, then thrown away. Some researchers found that sea creatures living in the deepest reaches of the sea had small pieces of plastic in their stomachs and muscles. A huge whale washed ashore in Spain last year with 28 kilos of plastic in its stomach died.
This year Sir David calls for actions against plastic pollution and the UN leads a campaign against plastic pollution seen as one of the world's most pressing environmental issues. The European Union is set to approve a total ban on one-use plastics. Bangladesh (孟加拉国) became the first country to ban plastic bags in 2002, after floods linked to plastic waste. Since then. 54 countries have banned lightweight plastic bags. According to Greenpeace statistics, every minute of every day, the same amount of a truck of plastic enters the world's oceans Waste such as bottles, nappies and beer holders can last for up to 450 years in the environment Some plastics last for 1, 000 years.
Andy Sharpless, CEO of a non-profit group Oceana says, “Our focus on recycling is, unfortunately, making the problem worse. Recycling will never stop the flow of plastics into our seas, so to focus on recycling efforts is a fatal mistake. In fact, plastic bottles usually made from natural plastic, if recycled, can become something like clothes and carpets. This change in the quality makes the use of recycled plastic limited.”
“Governments need to do their part too,” Sharpless argues, “and big businesses need to shoulder more responsibility — as the central problem is the amount of plastic being produced.” “The solution needs to focus on both usage of plastic and making it in large quantities.” says TrewinRestorick. CEO of environmental behaviour change charity Hubbub.
8. What can we know about the plastic in the ocean
A. Plastic is polluting the oceans. B. Sea creatures are fed plastic.
C. Plastic can disappear in the seas. D. Plastic pollution has been taken seriously.
9. How does Andy Sharpless feel about current plastic recycling
A. Supportive. B. Critical. C. Indifferent. D. Appreciative.
10. What is TrewinRestorick's suggestion on how to deal with plastic pollution
A. Recycle more plastic. B. Raising awareness of environmental protection.
C. Limiting plastic production. D. Find alternatives to plastic.
11. In which part of a newspaper can we see this text
A. Opinion. B. Culture. C. Environment. D. Entertainment.

You are staring at a blank page 5, 000 words to go. You are well aware that your computer can write this thing for you. To use AI or not to use AI That is the question.
The rapid development of AI tools has led many people to question their impacts on academic life. During an event to educate students about AI and academic integrity, Emily Bonano, chief justice of the All-Campus Judicial Council (ACJC), which is responsible for hearing individual cases relating to academic integrity, stressed that although AI as a common tool is a recent development, its impacts on academic honesty are already clear. “People are using it practically like any common tool,” Bonanno said. “People run into issues where they make assumptions and say ‘Oh, I’m just going to use it’ or ‘It doesn’t really matter. It’s just a little paragraph’. But it does matter.”
The Academic Honesty Policy defines academic honesty as “Acting with truthfulness and sincerity in carrying out all aspects of our individual and collaborative (合作的) work, maintaining ownership of our work and acknowledging our debt to the work of others”. The use of AI tools in completing tasks might be thought of as the breach of academic integrity if it went against this policy, Bonanno said. She explained that using AI without an instructor’s permission might be considered as receiving or using unauthorized aid under the policy.
Many instructors prohibit the use of AI in their classrooms because it runs the risk of disregarding academic integrity, but there are exceptions. Professor Whitney is teaching a course called Writing About and With Artificial Intelligence, which examines the role that AI can play in writing and involves using AI tools to better understand how to write with them. Regardless of whether an instructor allows or forbids the use of AI, its rules should be laid out clearly, Bonanno said.
12. What do Emily Bonanno’s words in paragraph 2 imply
A. We should be careful about academic use of AI.
B. AI has been a major risk to academic integrity.
C. Occasional use of AI tools for tasks is acceptable.
D. AI is far from a common tool in the academic field.
13. What does the underlined word “breach” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Misinterpretation. B. Clarification
C. Representing D. Breaking.
14. Why is Professor Whitney mentioned
A. To present the practical application of AI. B. To show another view on using AI in class.
C. To stress the important role of AI in writing. D. To encourage the appropriate use of AI tools.
15. Which can be the suitable title for the text
A. Is AI a Real Threat to Education B. Will AI Be Prohibited Academically
C. Is Using AI Academically Dishonest D. Should You Use AI to Complete Tasks
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. C

【答案】Dear Professor Brown,
I'm Li Hua, president of the Student Union of Xinxing High School. Representing our school, I'm writing to convey my sincere appreciation to you for the lecture you gave us last week.
Through your lecture, we've learned body language is one of the most effective methods of expressing emotions. For example, smiling is the most universal expression of happiness.
Looking away from a person means showing no interest in the person. However, not all cultures greet people in the same way. The knowledge will be very beneficial when we communicate with people from other countries.
Best wishes.
Yours,

But despite their differences, they shared a strong bond that grew stronger as they got older.
One day in elementary school, Emma and Lily were walking to school when Emma noticed that Lily seemed a bit down. She asked her what was wrong, and Lily confided(吐露)that she was nervous about an upcoming test. Emma listened attentively and then suggested that they study together after school. Lily's face lit up, and she was grateful for her friend's support.
That afternoon, Emma and Lily sat down at the dining table in Emma's home with their textbooks and notes. They worked through problems together, taking tums to explain concepts. Emma was patient and encouraging, cheering Lily on when she got a question right and helping her correct her mistakes when she got stuck.
As they worked, Lily began to feel more confident and less anxious about the test. She realized that having a friend like Emma was a blessing, someone who would always be there to help and support her when she was “in trouble”. Meanwhile, Emma, in tum, felt grateful for the opportunity to be a good friend and make a positive difference in Lily's life.
Over the years. Emma and Lily experienced the ups and downs in life together. supporting each other through tough times and celebrating each other's achievements. They went on adventures, explored new interests, and shared countless laughs and memories.

There are five trillion (万亿) pieces of plastic in our oceans. Most of the plastic found at the bottom of the sea is waste such as plastic bottles and bags, designed to be used just once, then thrown away. Some researchers found that sea creatures living in the deepest reaches of the sea had small pieces of plastic in their stomachs and muscles. A huge whale washed ashore in Spain last year with 28 kilos of plastic in its stomach died.
This year Sir David calls for actions against plastic pollution and the UN leads a campaign against plastic pollution seen as one of the world's most pressing environmental issues. The European Union is set to approve a total ban on one-use plastics. Bangladesh (孟加拉国) became the first country to ban plastic bags in 2002, after floods linked to plastic waste. Since then. 54 countries have banned lightweight plastic bags. According to Greenpeace statistics, every minute of every day, the same amount of a truck of plastic enters the world's oceans Waste such as bottles, nappies and beer holders can last for up to 450 years in the environment Some plastics last for 1, 000 years.
Andy Sharpless, CEO of a non-profit group Oceana says, “Our focus on recycling is, unfortunately, making the problem worse. Recycling will never stop the flow of plastics into our seas, so to focus on recycling efforts is a fatal mistake. In fact, plastic bottles usually made from natural plastic, if recycled, can become something like clothes and carpets. This change in the quality makes the use of recycled plastic limited.”
“Governments need to do their part too,” Sharpless argues, “and big businesses need to shoulder more responsibility — as the central problem is the amount of plastic being produced.” “The solution needs to focus on both usage of plastic and making it in large quantities.” says TrewinRestorick. CEO of environmental behaviour change charity Hubbub.

C. Limiting plastic production. D. Find alternatives to plastic.
11. In which part of a newspaper can we see this text
A. Opinion. B. Culture. C. Environment. D. Entertainment.

You are staring at a blank page 5, 000 words to go. You are well aware that your computer can write this thing for you. To use AI or not to use AI That is the question.
The rapid development of AI tools has led many people to question their impacts on academic life. During an event to educate students about AI and academic integrity, Emily Bonano, chief justice of the All-Campus Judicial Council (ACJC), which is responsible for hearing individual cases relating to academic integrity, stressed that although AI as a common tool is a recent development, its impacts on academic honesty are already clear. “People are using it practically like any common tool,” Bonanno said. “People run into issues where they make assumptions and say ‘Oh, I’m just going to use it’ or ‘It doesn’t really matter. It’s just a little paragraph’. But it does matter.”
The Academic Honesty Policy defines academic honesty as “Acting with truthfulness and sincerity in carrying out all aspects of our individual and collaborative (合作的) work, maintaining ownership of our work and acknowledging our debt to the work of others”. The use of AI tools in completing tasks might be thought of as the breach of academic integrity if it went against this policy, Bonanno said. She explained that using AI without an instructor’s permission might be considered as receiving or using unauthorized aid under the policy.
Many instructors prohibit the use of AI in their classrooms because it runs the risk of disregarding academic integrity, but there are exceptions. Professor Whitney is teaching a course called Writing About and With Artificial Intelligence, which examines the role that AI can play in writing and involves using AI tools to better understand how to write with them. Regardless of whether an instructor allows or forbids the use of AI, its rules should be laid out clearly, Bonanno said.
12. What do Emily Bonanno’s words in paragraph 2 imply
A. We should be careful about academic use of AI.
B. AI has been a major risk to academic integrity.
C. Occasional use of AI tools for tasks is acceptable.
D. AI is far from a common tool in the academic field.
13. What does the underlined word “breach” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Misinterpretation. B. Clarification
C. Representing D. Breaking.
14. Why is Professor Whitney mentioned
A. To present the practical application of AI. B. To show another view on using AI in class.
C. To stress the important role of AI in writing. D. To encourage the appropriate use of AI tools.
15. Which can be the suitable title for the text
A. Is AI a Real Threat to Education B. Will AI Be Prohibited Academically
C. Is Using AI Academically Dishonest D. Should You Use AI to Complete Tasks
