04 Writing Workshop—Reading Club 2 Part Ⅰ Vocabulary & Grammar 1 A [河南洛阳2023高二期中] When parents ask “What grade did you get?”, there is a common follow-up question: “So who got the highest grade?” Many educators select and publicly announce the “best student” in a class or school. The practice of making social comparisons is so common in daily life that the negative effects caused by social comparisons are usually ignored. One well-known strategy to get rid of social comparisons is to provide children with participation awards. Such awards, however, may not abolish social comparisons. High-performing children who receive the same prize as low-performing ones may feel unjustly treated and look down on the latter group. More generally, those who receive unwarranted （无正当理由的） rewards may come to believe they deserve to receive the recognition. 刷阅读理解 2 How, then, can we make children feel proud of themselves and motivate them without the unwanted side effects? A better approach is to use temporal （时间的） comparisons—encouraging children to compare themselves with their past self rather than with others. Researchers recently conducted a study, where 583 children were asked to do a reading-and-writing exercise designed to influence the kind of comparisons they would make: social comparisons or temporal comparisons. Results showed children who compared themselves with others said they wanted to be superior to such people, while those who compared themselves with their past self said they wanted to improve rather than be superior. Temporal comparisons changed children’s goals away from a desire for superiority and towards self-improvement. 刷阅读理解 3 What, then, can parents and teachers do with this knowledge? Parents and teachers can praise children’s improvement over time to let them know they are making progress. Also, teachers can create learning contexts that track children’s own progress over time, such as report cards that display their changes in learning and performance. Of course, temporal comparisons are not a panacea; we should never push children too much to improve themselves. The road towards self-improvement is paved with struggles and setbacks. Rather than making children feel bad for those failures, we should encourage them to learn from their imperfect past self—and thus help youngsters become better than before. 刷阅读理解 4 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了进行社会比较的做法在日常生活中非常普遍，但这种比较存在一些不良影响，父母和老师可以通过鼓励孩子与过去的自己进行比较，而不是与他人进行比较来激励孩子们成长。 1.What can we know about the strategy mentioned in Paragraph 2?( ) D A.It is in high-performing children’s favour. B.It stresses the importance of teamwork. C.It may make all the children more confident. D.It may discourage high-performing children. 解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的High-performing children who receive the same prize as low-performing ones may feel unjustly treated可知，给孩子参与奖的这种方式会让表现优异的孩子感到不公平，结合选项可知，该策略会让表现优异的孩子感到沮丧。故选D项。 刷阅读理解 5 2.What does the research finding suggest?( ) B A.Children have a desire to feel proud of themselves. B.Temporal comparisons make for self-improvement. C.Children need to be exposed to various comparisons. D.Social comparisons give children a sense of superiority. 解析 细节理解题。根据第四段中的Temporal comparisons changed children’s goals away from a desire for superiority and towards self-improvement.可知，让孩子与过去的自己进行比较可以帮助孩子们把目标从超越他人转移到自我提升上来，故时间比较有助于自我提升。故选B项。 刷阅读理解 6 3.What does the underlined word “panacea” in the last paragraph most probably mean?( ) A A.A perfect solution. B.A regular routine. C.A major priority. D.A huge benefit. 解析 词义猜测题。根据最后一段中的we should never push children too much to improve themselves和The road towards self-improvement is paved with struggles and setbacks.可知，作为家长，不应该逼迫孩子去自我提升，通往自我完善的道路很艰难，故此处表示时间比较虽然有效，但不是万灵药。A项（一个完美的解决方案）与画线词意思相近，故选A项。 刷阅读理解 7 4.Which of the following may the author agree with?( ) C A.Failure can be avoided by equality. B.Comparisons will lead to failure. C.Failure is an opportunity to learn. D.Comparisons are difficult to abolish. 解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中画线词后的Rather than making children feel bad for those failures, we should encourage them to learn from their imperfect past self—and thus help youngsters become better than before.推知，作者认为失败是学习的机会。故选C项。 刷阅读理解 8 核心词汇 1.get rid of 摆脱；除去 2.look down on 轻视；蔑视 3.deserve vt. 应得；应受到 刷阅读理解 9 B [浙江温州2024适应性考试] The integration of artificial intelligence （AI） and educational technology （EdTech） has brought incomparable convenience and efficiency to classrooms worldwide. However, despite these advancements, it is crucial to recognise the challenges these AI-driven tools pose to the autonomy and professional judgement of instructors. One of the primary concerns is the depersonalisation of instruction. These tools often rely on pre-packaged digital content and standardised solutions, leaving insufficient room for instructors to tailor their teaching methods. Each student possesses unique characteristics. Instructors, armed with their wealth of experience and knowledge, are best positioned to tailor their approaches to these individual needs. However, AI-driven tools restrict their ability to do so effectively, resulting in a one-size-fits-all approach that fails to inspire students to reach their maximum potential. 刷阅读理解 10 EdTech companies offer step-by-step solutions to textbook problems. These are intended to act as study aids. However, some students employ this feature as a means to merely copy solutions without comprehending concepts. Consequently, instances of cheating at assignments and exams become widespread. While these tools may offer convenience, students may use external resources or cooperate with others during quizzes, affecting the honesty of their learning outcomes. 刷阅读理解 11 The implications of this depersonalisation and the increase in academic dishonesty are far-reaching. By decreasing 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 only focus on knowledge acquisition, but should also develop the ability to analyse, evaluate, and apply that knowledge in real-world contexts. It should help one’s mind grow, not simply memorise information. Through dynamic classroom discussions, cooperative projects, and hands-on activities, instructors play a crucial role in developing these essential skills. While AI-driven EdTech tools undeniably have their virtues, we must not lose sight of the importance of preserving instructor autonomy and educational experience. Instead of relying only on pre-packaged content and standardised solutions, these tools should be designed to empower instructors to adapt and customise their approaches while taking full advantage of the benefits of technology. 刷阅读理解 12 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人工智能应用于教学过程中的益处及存在的问题。人工智能与教育技术的融合为世界各地的课堂带来了无与伦比的便利和效率。然而，尽管取得了这些进步，认识到这些人工智能驱动的工具对教师的自主性和专业判断构成的挑战仍至关重要。 刷阅读理解 13 1.What do the underlined words “the depersonalisation of instruction” in Paragraph 2 refer to? ( ) B A.Instructors’ dependence on AI. B.The universal approach to all questions. C.The insufficient resource of AI-driven tools. D.The specially designed method for different individuals. 解析 词义猜测题。根据画线部分下文可知，每个学生都有自己独特的特点，而教师拥有丰富的经验，可以为这些个人需求量身定制教学方法。但是人工智能依靠的是提前输入的数据和标准化的解决方案，无法针对每个学生的特点作出调整。由此可推知，画线处所在句表达的是人们担忧人工智能这种“标准化的解决方案”，即问题的通用解决方案，本段最后一句中的a one-size-fits-all approach也是提示。故选B项。 刷阅读理解 14 2.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?( ) B A.A possible solution. B.A further problem. C.A well-meant intention. D.A suggested application. 解析 主旨大意题。根据第三段中的However, some students employ this feature as a means to merely copy solutions without comprehending concepts. Consequently, instances of cheating at assignments and exams become widespread.可知，第三段主要介绍了一些学生会利用人工智能驱动的工具在作业和考试中作弊，即人工智能驱动的工具进一步产生的问题。故选B项。 刷阅读理解 15 3.In what aspect do students suffer most with AI-driven EdTech education?( ) A A.Thinking skills. B.Teamwork building. C.Interest development. D.Knowledge acquisition. 解析 细节理解题。根据第四段中的By decreasing 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.可知，在人工智能驱动的教育中，学生在思维能力方面受到的影响最大。故选A项。 刷阅读理解 16 4.What is conveyed about AI-driven EdTech tools in the last paragraph?( ) D A.They should be used widely. B.Their benefits deserve our attention. C.Their resources need enriching. D.They should support instructor autonomy. 解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，虽然人工智能驱动的教育技术工具有其优点，但我们不能忽视教师的自主权和教育经验的重要性。这些工具的设计不应只依赖于输入数据和标准化的解决方案，而应使教师能够在充分利用技术优势的同时调整和定制他们的方法。由此可知，人工智能驱动的教育技术工具应该支持教师拥有自主权。故选D项。 刷阅读理解 17 进阶词汇 1.acquisition n. 获得；习得 2.customise vt. 定做，定制 熟词生义 1.tailor 熟义：n. 裁缝 生义：vt. 按需定制 2.arm 熟义：n. 手臂；［pl.］武器 生义：vt. 装备；配备 刷阅读理解 18 [福建三明2024高二期中联考] I was 10 years into my career, happily working as a researcher.
