Only 50 miles outside town was the farm. She thought about the farm all the time, especially the animals. When her family sold the farm and moved to nearby town, Emma was excited. But when she got to the new school, she felt very lonely. With a sigh, Emma turned her attention back to the present. The bus came to a stop. “Welcome to the Leinweber Nature Center,” her teacher said. “A guide will give us a lecture about animals, and then you’ll help to feed the baby squirrels (松鼠), now, I want everyone to find a partner.” Emma didn’t have any friends yet—who would be her partner? Emma got close to Julia, a talkative and outgoing girl. “Could I be your partner?” Emma asked uncertainly. “Sure,” said Julia warmly. Together, the girls walked into the center. After the lecture, a keeper showed them how to hold the bottle of milk for baby squirrels. Then the girls started to feed their own baby squirrels. After the babies fínished eating, the keeper asked, “Would you like to help feed the adult squirrels, too?” Emma was quick to volunteer, but when the keeper opened the first cage, the squirrel inside jumped out. Emma remained calm, held out her hand, made quiet sounds, and then quickly got it. “Wow!” Julia said. “You’re always so quiet, I thought you were afraid of everything.” The keeper asked Emma, “Would you be interested in volunteering to help out with the animals at the center?” “Interested? I would love to work here! What an opportunity!” Emma was excited. That afternoon, in the bus on the way back to school, Emma sat next to Julia, her new friend. A rush of newfound happiness washed over her. 11. How did Emma feel when she got to the new school? A. Lonely. B. Lucky. C. Surprised. D. Angry. 12. At the nature center, Emma and Julia ________.

Ways of feeding squirrels B Bert won a prize called Young Heroes for his “green” project (项目). This young person was now a university student. His love for insects (昆虫) grew deeper and he was protecting them for the future. ________. When he was around 4 or 5, he always loved to watch different insects, especially beautiful swallowtails (凤蝶). He learned an interesting fact about them. Their bright colors warned hungry animals that they tasted bad. And it was also fun to watch how they came into being. But the reason he really fell in love with them was that they were very accessible. For example, if you wanted to attract swallowtails, you planted some zinnias, a kind of bright flowers. Bert started a zinnia garden at his house where he raised a large number of swallowtails over the years. With the world’s swallowtail population falling, Bert wanted people to realize that if insects like swallowtails disappeared, all the others above them on the food chain would disappear too. To make the fact clear and easy to understand for other students, he also created a zinnia garden at his junior high school. Part of the joy for Bert was watching the younger students get excited when running after swallowtails. “Whenever a swallowtail lands on them, the young students will soon fall in love with these cute insects. They develop a new appreciation for them,” he said. Bert put his efforts into the environmental educational project and made it succeed. 16. After Bert was honored with Young Heroes, ________. A. he often gave speeches in public B. he set up his “green” project C. he became interested in swallowtails D. he went on protecting insects 17. Which of the following can be put in ________? A. Bert saved many swallowtails B. Bert had a dull childhood C. Bert found his love early in life D. Bert made a hard decision 18. The underlined word “accessible” in Paragraph 2 means “________”. A. dangerous to feed B. easy to get close to C. hard to raise D. safe to reach 19. The main reason for Bert to create a zinnia garden at school was ________. A. to watch students have fun B. to make his school more beautiful C. to stop swallowtails from disappearing D. to help kids learn about swallowtails 20. What would be the best title for the passage? A. A Bright Flower B. A Green Project C. A Colourful Garden D. A Warning Action C ①ChatGPT, a new chatbot model, has quickly become a hit all over the world because of its powerful conversational abilities. It can write emails, computer codes (代码), songs, poems, and even short stories, and has passed a number of tests within seconds. ②Experts around the world are discussing whether AI should be used in education.

AI powered education technologies can be used to make the learning experience more suitable：(适合的) for each student. As for teachers, AI can free them from doing some boring work so they can focus on their teaching. ⑤Since we cannot avoid ChatGPT and other AI powered apps from entering education, we should make efforts to make sure they have a positive influence on society and the future of education.
