Kurtz is a manager at Rust Belt Riders, a composting company based in Cleveland, Ohio. Its goal is to meet the challenge of climate change by recycling as much food waste as possible. “If we’re going to meet the climate goals, we have to deal with food waste,” Kurtz said. “It’s a huge part of the problem.” Wasted food winds up in landfills. As it breaks down, it creates methane (甲烷), which traps heat in the atmosphere and fuels climate change. The average family in the U.S. spends $1,500 per year on food that doesn’t get eaten. Businesses waste food too. That’s where Kurtz’s job comes in. Every day, Kurtz contacts grocery stores, restaurants, and other food-service businesses to tell them about the harmful effects of food waste. Then, he offers to help them cope with their extra food. So far, Rust Belt Riders has persuaded 300 companies and 2,800 households to do differently with their food waste. The company’s seven trucks and 30 employees pick up their clients’ extra food. Then they compost it, turning it into soil. Compost soil is much more than just dirt. It’s made up of five ingredients that combine to help plants grow. That’s why Kurtz and his colleagues offer a second service: They sell the composted, nutrient-rich soil to people and businesses that need it. In addition to households and businesses. Rust Belt Riders has teamed up with local schools. At Dentzler Elementary, in Parma, Ohio, Rust Belt Riders helps the kitchen staff compost its food leftovers. The 500 students place their food waste into bins during lunch periods. The bins are then collected by Rust Belt Riders. “This program has created a space for all students to become environmental supervisors (监督人) in their own cafeteria when they might not otherwise have the opportunity,” says Emily Cass, a farm-to-school coordinator at Dentzler. 4. What is the aim of Rust Belt Riders? A. To make compost soil. B. To fight climate change. C. To advocate food saving. D. To clean up the landfills. 5. What does Rust Belt Riders mainly do? A. Buy the wasted food from its clients. B. Teach students to compost food waste. C. Make compost soil with the collected food. D. Cooperate with schools to sell the compost soil. 6. Which of the following may Emily Cass agree with? A. Students could benefit a lot from the program. B. Students can supervise the environment in class. C. I’s wrong to make profits by selling compost soil. D. The cafeteria is the best place to compost food waste. 7. What is a suitable title for the text? A. A Method of Helping Plants to Grow B. Compost Soil — The Nutrient-rich Soil C. The Composting Revolution of Rust Belt Riders D. Robert Kurtz — An Environmental Conservationist 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Robert Kurtz成立Rust Belt Riders公司，进行堆肥革命，目标是通过回收尽可能多的食物垃圾来应对气候变化的挑战。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Kurtz is a manager at Rust Belt Riders, a composting company based in Cleveland, Ohio. Its goal is to meet the challenge of climate change by recycling as much food waste as possible.(Kurtz是位于俄亥俄州克利夫兰的堆肥公司Rust Belt Riders的经理。它的目标是通过回收尽可能多的食物垃圾来应对气候变化的挑战。)”可知，Rust Belt Riders的目的是应对气候变化。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The company’s seven trucks and 30 employees pick up their clients’ extra food. Then they compost it, turning it into soil.(该公司有7辆卡车和30名员工为客户运送额外的食物。然后将其堆肥，变成土壤。)”可知，Rust Belt Riders主要用收集的食物制作堆肥土壤。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Emily Cass所说“This program has created a space for all students to become environmental supervisors (监督人) in their own cafeteria when they might not otherwise have the opportunity (这个项目为所有学生创造了一个空间，让他们在自己的食堂里成为环境监督员，否则他们可能没有机会。)”可知，Emily Cass认为学生可以从这个项目中受益很多。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段中“Robert Kurtz finds himself right in the middle of a composting (堆肥) revolution. Kurtz is a manager at Rust Belt Riders, a composting company based in Cleveland, Ohio. Its goal is to meet the challenge of climate change by recycling as much food waste as possible. (Robert Kurtz发现自己正处于堆肥革命的中心。Kurtz是位于俄亥俄州克利夫兰的堆肥公司Rust Belt Riders的经理。它的目标是通过回收尽可能多的食物垃圾来应对气候变化的挑战。)”可知，本文主要讲述了Robert Kurtz成立Rust Belt Riders公司，进行堆肥革命，目标是通过回收尽可能多的食物垃圾来应对气候变化的挑战。C“Rust Belt Riders的堆肥革命”符合主题，故选C项。 C Overcoming learning disabilities has long been a challenge for educators and students alike. However, recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technology have shown promise in revolutionizing the way we approach education for students with learning disabilities. One of the most significant ways AI can assist is through the use of adaptive learning systems. These systems use algorithms (算法) to analyze a student’s performance and adjust the learning content and pace accordingly. This personalized approach allows them to progress at their own pace, without feeling overwhelmed or left behind. Furthermore, adaptive learning systems can identify areas where a student may be struggling and provide targeted support. Another way AI can support them is through natural language processing (NLP) technology. NLP enables computers to understand and interpret human language, allowing AI-powered tools to provide real-time feedback on a student’s written work. This can be particularly beneficial for students with dyslexia, who often struggle with spelling, grammar, and sentence structure. By providing immediate feedback, students can identify and correct their mistakes, leading to improved writing skills and increased confidence. AI can also play a role in developing their social and emotional skills. Many students with learning disabilities experience social isolation. AI-powered social robots can recognize and respond to human emotions, allowing students to engage in interactive conversations and activities that help develop their social and emotional intelligence. While the potential benefits of AI in education are clear, it is essential to recognize AI isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Educators must carefully consider the moral implications of using AI in the classroom and ensure these tools are used responsibly and with the best interests of the students in mind. Moreover, it is crucial to remember AI shouldn’t replace human educators but rather serve as a tool to enhance and support their efforts. Teachers play a vital role by providing empathy, understanding, and guidance that cannot be reproduced by a machine. By combining the power of AI with the skills and compassion of human educators, we can create a more inclusive and effective educational environment for all students. 8. How can adaptive systems help students with learning disabilities? A. By adjusting their learning methods. B. By analyzing their learning abilities. C. By satisfying their curiosity in learning. D. By offering personalized learning assistance. 9. What does the underlined word “dyslexia” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. A mental illness affecting human intelligence. B. A brain disease leading to lack of confidence in study. C. A language-related skill applied in the learning process. D. A learning disorder involving difficulty in reading and writing. 10. What is the value of AI-powered social robots? A. Engaging students in learning activities. B. Narrowing the social distance between people. C. Assisting learners to overcome social isolation. D. Helping learners adopt effective reading strategies. 11 What does the author say about AI in the last paragraph? A. It can’t provide understanding like human educators. B. It can’t create an inclusive learning environment. C. It can meet a wide range of learning needs. D. It can guarantee learners’ data security. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能在帮助学生克服学习障碍方面以及提高社交和情感技能方面可以发挥的作用。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“These systems use algorithms (算法) to analyze a student’s performance and adjust the learning content and pace accordingly. This personalized approach allows them to progress at their own pace, without feeling overwhelmed or left behind. Furthermore, adaptive learning systems can identify areas where a student may be struggling and provide targeted support.(这些系统使用算法来分析学生的表现，并相应地调整学习内容和节奏。这种个性化的方法可以让他们按照自己的节奏进步，而不会感到不知所措或落后。此外，适应性学习系统可以识别学生可能挣扎的领域，并提供有针对性的支持)”可知，适应性系统通过提供个性化的学习帮助有学习障碍的学生。故选D。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“who often struggle with spelling, grammar, and sentence structure”可知，who引导非限制性定语从句修饰先行词students with dyslexia，说明患有dyslexia的学生经常在拼写、语法和句子结构上挣扎，即存在包括读写困难的学习障碍。故划线词意思是“一种包括读写困难的学习障碍”。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“AI-powered social robots can recognize and respond to human emotions, allowing students to engage in interactive conversations and activities that help develop their social and emotional intelligence.(人工智能社交机器人可以识别并回应人类的情绪，让学生参与互动对话和活动，帮助发展他们的社交和情商)”可知，人工智能社交机器人的价值是帮助学习者克服社会孤立。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Moreover, it is crucial to remember AI shouldn’t replace human educators but rather serve as a tool to enhance and support their efforts. Teachers play a vital role by providing empathy, understanding, and guidance that cannot be reproduced by a machine.(此外，重要的是要记住，人工智能不应该取代人类教育工作者，而应该作为一种工具来加强和支持他们的努力。教师通过提供机器无法复制的同理心、理解和指导，发挥着至关重要的作用)”可知，人工智能不能像人类教育者那样提供理解。故选A。 D A new study has shown that playing an instrument or singing in a choir may promote your brain. It explains why generations of parents have told their children to practice their musical instruments. Parents have good reasons to lay emphasis on their children’s musical education since learning an instrument is not only associated with cognitive (认知的) performance but also intelligence scores in children. But does this musicality translate to better cognition later in life? A recent study in the International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry investigated this question by asking middle-aged and older people to complete a questionnaire on their lifetime musical experience before completing cognitive thinking tests. The results showed that musical people had better memory and executive function — the ability to stay focused on tasks, make a plan, and have self-control — than those with less or no musicality. A good memory is important for playing a musical instrument, such as playing music from memory, and this seems to translate to people’s cognitive performance. Similarly, executive function is required when playing an instrument, and it translates to improved cognitive performance too. Although most people in the study played an instrument for only a few years, this finding was similar, regardless of which instrument people played, or the level of musical proficiency (熟练) people acquired. What makes a difference, however, is whether people still play an instrument or only played in the past. Those who still play an instrument show higher cognitive performance. This makes sense as continued engagement in cognitively stimulating activities should result in continued brain health benefits while having played the guitar for three years at primary school might not have such a big impact on our cognitive performance later in life. 12. Why do parents stress children’s musical education? A. It has an effect on mental health. B. It helps children to go to collegc. C. It is beneficial to cognitive thinking. D. It contributes to good scores in study. 13. How does playing an instrument promote one’s brain? A. By stimulating the nerve cells. B. By developing great musicality. C. By bettering one’s learning ability. D. By improving one’s concentration. 14. What influences cognitive performance according to the study? A. Different instruments people play. B. Practicing continuity people keep. C. Musical proficiency people acquire. D. Live performances people engage in. 15. What message does the author seem to convey in the text? A. Musicality leads to success. B. Music affects children’s growth. C. Playing instruments boosts cognition. D. Instrument players have healthier brains. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了新研究显示，演奏乐器或参与合唱可能促进大脑发展，尤其在记忆力和执行功能方面，对中老年人的认知能力有积极影响。持续演奏乐器的人展现出更高的认知表现，强调了持续性在认知健康中的作用。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“It explains why generations of parents have told their children to practice their musical instruments. Parents have good reasons to lay emphasis on their children’s musical education since learning an instrument is not only associated with cognitive (认知的) performance but also intelligence scores in children.(这就解释了为什么几代父母都告诉孩子要练习乐器。父母有充分的理由重视孩子的音乐教育，因为学习乐器不仅与孩子的认知表现有关，还与孩子的智力得分有关)”可知，父母重视孩子的音乐教育是因为学习乐器不仅与认知表现有关，还与孩子的智力分数有关，即它对认知思考有益。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“The results showed that musical people had better memory and executive function — the ability to stay focused on tasks, make a plan, and have self-control — than those with less or no musicality.(研究结果表明，与那些音乐性较差或没有音乐性的人相比，有音乐的人有更好的记忆力和执行功能，即专注于任务、制定计划和自我控制的能力)” 以及第三段的“A good memory is important for playing a musical instrument, such as playing music from memory, and this seems to translate to people’s cognitive performance. Similarly, executive function is required when playing an instrument, and it translates to improved cognitive performance too.(良好的记忆力对于演奏乐器很重要，比如根据记忆演奏音乐，这似乎转化为人们的认知表现。同样，演奏乐器时也需要执行功能，这也会提高认知能力)”可知，演奏乐器需要良好的记忆力和执行功能，执行功能包括保持对任务的专注、制定计划和自控能力。所以，演奏乐器是通过提高注意力来提高认知表现。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“What makes a difference, however, is whether people still play an instrument or only played in the past. Those who still play an instrument show higher cognitive performance.(然而，不同的是，人们是仍然演奏一种乐器，还是只在过去演奏。那些仍然演奏乐器的人表现出更高的认知能力)”可知，研究表明，持续演奏乐器与否会影响认知表现，也就是说练习的连续性会影响认知表现。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段的“A new study has shown that playing an instrument or singing in a choir may promote your brain.(一项新的研究表明，在合唱团演奏乐器或唱歌可以促进你的大脑发育)”以及全文可知，演奏乐器或参与合唱可能促进大脑发展，尤其在记忆力和执行功能方面，对中老年人的认知能力有积极影响。持续演奏乐器的人展现出更高的认知表现，强调了持续性在认知健康中的作用。因此，作者想传达的信息是演奏乐器能提升认知能力。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Gamba has a lifelong fear of dentists. “It was much easier to accept the toothache,” he says. ______16______, there are times when you have to seek proper dental care. Fortunately, many dentists are specially trained in handling fearful patients. A variety of methods are also available to reduce pain and fear when you are in the dentist’s chair. The best dentists use simple methods to create a feeling of control. They gently explain what the patient will feel, and for about how long. They frequently ask the patient for permission to continue.______17______. Their working places are barely recognizable as a dentist’s office. Free of posters showing the horrors of dental diseases, some even have a fireplace in the waiting room and some have a treatment room overlooking a waterfall. ______18______, your body may still fear that chair. Here are some tips that may help you: ➢ Go to the dentist with someone you trust, such as a close relative who has no fear of dentists. If possible, ask him/her to sit with you during the treatment. ➢ ______19______. Listen to your own music on headphones — a new CD, not one you’ve heard a lot, so you’ll be a little more interested in it. Or find a dental clinic with a TV in the treatment room. ➢ Try relaxation techniques. Controlled breathing — I taking a big breath, holding it, and letting it out slowly — will slow your heartbeat and relax your muscles. As the pain from Gamba’s wisdom teeth worsened, he found support online through a forum for people with dental fear. He also found a dentist, who advertises his skill with fearful patients. “______20______,” Gamba says before going. But the dentist put him so at ease that he agreed to receive treatment right away. And it was painless, he says. A. Add your favorite songs to the playlist B. Shift attention while in the dentist’s chair C. It wouldn’t be possible without the dentists’ support D. I convinced myself that I was just going to talk with the dentist E. Even if your mind tells you you’ll be just fine in such circumstances F. Although you would never look forward to a spell in the dentist’s chair G. Some dentists even go out of their way to create a nonthreatening environment 【答案】16. F 17. G 18. E 19. B 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文属于说明文。作者详细解释了对于害怕牙医的人来说，如何在必要时寻求适当的牙科护理，并介绍了多种方法来减少在牙医椅子上的疼痛和恐惧。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Gamba has a lifelong fear of dentists. “It was much easier to accept the toothache,” he says. (甘巴一生都害怕牙医。“接受牙痛要容易得多，”他说。)”和下文“here are times when you have to seek proper dental care. (有时你必须寻求适当的牙齿护理。)”可知，甘巴害怕看牙医，忍受牙痛，但有时必须寻求适当的牙科治疗。因此，这里需要一个转折来引出即使不愿意也得面对的情况。故F选项“Although you would never look forward to a spell in the dentist’s chair (尽管你永远不会期待在牙医的椅子上度过一段时间)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选F。 【17题详解】 根据上文“The best dentists use simple methods to create a feeling of control. They gently explain what the patient will feel, and for about how long. They frequently ask the patient for permission to continue. (最好的牙医使用简单的方法来创造一种控制感。他们会温和地解释病人的感觉，以及持续多久。他们经常请求病人允许他们继续治疗。)”及下文“Their working places are barely recognizable as a dentist’s office. Free of posters showing the horrors of dental diseases, some even have a fireplace in the waiting room and some have a treatment room overlooking a waterfall. (他们的工作场所几乎看不出是一家牙医诊所。没有展示牙病可怕的海报，有些甚至在候诊室里有壁炉，有些甚至有一个可以俯瞰瀑布的治疗室。)”可知，此处应衔接关于牙医如何营造轻松环境的信息。因此，G选项“Some dentists even go out of their way to create a nonthreatening environment (有些牙医甚至不遗余力地创造一个无威胁的环境)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选G。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Their working places are barely recognizable as a dentist’s office. Free of posters showing the horrors of dental diseases, some even have a fireplace in the waiting room and some have a treatment room overlooking a waterfall. (他们的工作场所几乎看不出是一家牙医诊所。没有展示牙病可怕的海报，有些甚至在候诊室里有壁炉，有些甚至有一个可以俯瞰瀑布的治疗室。)”和下文“your body may still fear that chair. (你的身体可能仍然害怕那把椅子。)”可知，上文提到诊所环境的改变，如瀑布景观等，意在减轻身体上的恐惧感，下文说身体仍然害怕那把椅子。此处作为过渡句，指出即便心理上接受了，身体可能仍会有恐惧反应，E选项“Even if your mind tells you you’ll be just fine in such circumstances (即使你的理智告诉你在这种情况下你会没事的)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选E。 【19题详解】 根据下文“Listen to your own music on headphones— a new CD, not one you’ve heard a lot, so you’ll be a little more interested in it. Or find a dental clinic with a TV in the treatment room. (戴上耳机听你自己的音乐——一张新CD，不是你听过很多次的，这样你会对它更感兴趣。或者找一家在治疗室里有电视的牙科诊所。)”可知，本段主要讲述了一些帮助患者在牙医诊疗过程中分散注意力的方法，如听音乐或看电视等。B选项“Shift attention while in the dentist’s chair (坐在牙医椅上转移注意力)”能引起下文，符合题意。故选B。 【20题详解】 根据下文“But the dentist put him so at ease that he agreed to receive treatment right away. (但是牙医让他非常放松，以至于他同意马上接受治疗。)”可知，在此之前，甘巴内心是紧张的。D选项“I convinced myself that I was just going to talk with the dentist (我让自己相信我只是去和牙医谈谈)”表明了甘巴试图说服自己以减轻紧张情绪的状态，能引起下文，符合题意。故选D。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） It has been five years.

When I got home, Mum saw the flyer in my hand and asked, “What’s this?” “A flyer for a five-day art camp,” I explained. “But Emily can’t go.” “Would you like to attend?”Mum asked. “You’ve always loved art.” Her words reminded me of what Emily had said earlier: “Tessa, you’re the real artist. My brother thought the roses I painted were rocket ships.” I sighed. Mum patted my back. She knew I had a hard time jumping into something with no familiar faces around. “Maybe next year.” “Maybe,” I echoed. Then I told Mum I wanted to go outside to draw the Westons’ pine tree (松树). She nodded with an encouraging smile. As I walked into the bright sunshine, I couldn’t help but think about the art camp. I wished I felt a little bit braver. Emily could make friends with a whole bus of kids in ten minutes, but my stomach felt like a little boat tossed in a heavy storm when I was surrounded by strangers... By the time I started drawing, I had made up my mind to forget about the art camp. I began by drawing the pine tree’s strong and straight trunk, and then added the beautiful branches, making sure the upper ones lifted gently towards the sun. Lost in my work, I jumped when I heard Mr. Weston speak up, “You’ve done a great job showing the strength of that tree on paper.” “Thanks,” I smiled, glancing up. As I drew the needles to the branches, Mr. Weston told me something I never knew about pines: If you plant the root ball too deep, the tree dies. Their roots grow out, not down—to get enough water and grow tall. “You have a good eye, Tessa.”With these words, Mr. Weston nodded goodbye. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: His words made me pause and think. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next Monday, I signed up for the camp. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】His words made me pause and think. As I reflected on his wisdom, I realized that I had been burying my own roots too deep, suffocating my growth and potential, no matter how often I was told about my talent in drawing. I had always unknowingly turned a deaf ear, forgetting to spread my roots outward, to seek nourishment and reach for the sky. Encouraged by Mr. Weston’ s words, I decided to reassess my approach to life and started branching out . The next Monday, I signed up for the camp. Once I was there, I discovered that I didn’t have to be like Emily, jumping into some unfamiliar faces around to prove I was a real artist. From landscapes to portraits, and water color to oil painting, each brushstroke on the canvas was proof and brought me a lot of attention I had never experienced before. I began to make friends with other kids, the boat in my stomach rocking gently in calm waters. It was here that I truly flourished, drawing my own way to reach out for a whole new world. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者有绘画天赋，想要参加艺术营，又因为很难像朋友艾米丽一样融入群体而不敢于去参与。作者在画松树的时候遇到了Weston老师，老师的话给了作者启发。作者意识到应该重新评估自己对于生活的态度。作者决定去参加艺术营，在画画的时候专心致志，交到了朋友，也接触了一个全新的世界。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“他的话使我停下来思考。”可知，第一段可描写作者听了Weston老师的话之后对于自己生活态度的思考及想法的改变。 ②由第二段首句内容“下个星期一，我报名参加了艺术营。”可知，第二段可描写作者参加艺术营的经历和感受。 2.续写线索：引发思考——态度转变——决定参加艺术营——经历——感受 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①意识到：realize/be aware ②决定做某事：decide to do/make up one’s mind to do 发现：discover/spot 情绪类 ①受鼓舞的：encouraged/inspired ②平静的：calm/peaceful 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Kurtz is a manager at Rust Belt Riders, a composting company based in Cleveland, Ohio. Its goal is to meet the challenge of climate change by recycling as much food waste as possible. “If we’re going to meet the climate goals, we have to deal with food waste,” Kurtz said. “It’s a huge part of the problem.” Wasted food winds up in landfills. As it breaks down, it creates methane (甲烷), which traps heat in the atmosphere and fuels climate change. The average family in the U.S. spends $1,500 per year on food that doesn’t get eaten. Businesses waste food too. That’s where Kurtz’s job comes in. Every day, Kurtz contacts grocery stores, restaurants, and other food-service businesses to tell them about the harmful effects of food waste. Then, he offers to help them cope with their extra food. So far, Rust Belt Riders has persuaded 300 companies and 2,800 households to do differently with their food waste. The company’s seven trucks and 30 employees pick up their clients’ extra food. Then they compost it, turning it into soil. Compost soil is much more than just dirt. It’s made up of five ingredients that combine to help plants grow. That’s why Kurtz and his colleagues offer a second service: They sell the composted, nutrient-rich soil to people and businesses that need it. In addition to households and businesses. Rust Belt Riders has teamed up with local schools. At Dentzler Elementary, in Parma, Ohio, Rust Belt Riders helps the kitchen staff compost its food leftovers. The 500 students place their food waste into bins during lunch periods. The bins are then collected by Rust Belt Riders. “This program has created a space for all students to become environmental supervisors (监督人) in their own cafeteria when they might not otherwise have the opportunity,” says Emily Cass, a farm-to-school coordinator at Dentzler. 4. What is the aim of Rust Belt Riders? A. To make compost soil. B. To fight climate change. C. To advocate food saving. D. To clean up the landfills. 5. What does Rust Belt Riders mainly do? A. Buy the wasted food from its clients. B. Teach students to compost food waste. C. Make compost soil with the collected food. D. Cooperate with schools to sell the compost soil. 6. Which of the following may Emily Cass agree with? A. Students could benefit a lot from the program. B. Students can supervise the environment in class. C. I’s wrong to make profits by selling compost soil. D. The cafeteria is the best place to compost food waste. 7. What is a suitable title for the text? A. A Method of Helping Plants to Grow B. Compost Soil — The Nutrient-rich Soil C. The Composting Revolution of Rust Belt Riders D. Robert Kurtz — An Environmental Conservationist C Overcoming learning disabilities has long been a challenge for educators and students alike. However, recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technology have shown promise in revolutionizing the way we approach education for students with learning disabilities. One of the most significant ways AI can assist is through the use of adaptive learning systems. These systems use algorithms (算法) to analyze a student’s performance and adjust the learning content and pace accordingly. This personalized approach allows them to progress at their own pace, without feeling overwhelmed or left behind. Furthermore, adaptive learning systems can identify areas where a student may be struggling and provide targeted support. Another way AI can support them is through natural language processing (NLP) technology. NLP enables computers to understand and interpret human language, allowing AI-powered tools to provide real-time feedback on a student’s written work. This can be particularly beneficial for students with dyslexia, who often struggle with spelling, grammar, and sentence structure. By providing immediate feedback, students can identify and correct their mistakes, leading to improved writing skills and increased confidence. AI can also play a role in developing their social and emotional skills. Many students with learning disabilities experience social isolation. AI-powered social robots can recognize and respond to human emotions, allowing students to engage in interactive conversations and activities that help develop their social and emotional intelligence. While the potential benefits of AI in education are clear, it is essential to recognize AI isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Educators must carefully consider the moral implications of using AI in the classroom and ensure these tools are used responsibly and with the best interests of the students in mind. Moreover, it is crucial to remember AI shouldn’t replace human educators but rather serve as a tool to enhance and support their efforts. Teachers play a vital role by providing empathy, understanding, and guidance that cannot be reproduced by a machine. By combining the power of AI with the skills and compassion of human educators, we can create a more inclusive and effective educational environment for all students. 8. How can adaptive systems help students with learning disabilities? A. By adjusting their learning methods. B. By analyzing their learning abilities. C. By satisfying their curiosity in learning. D. By offering personalized learning assistance. 9. What does the underlined word “dyslexia” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. A mental illness affecting human intelligence. B. A brain disease leading to lack of confidence in study. C. A language-related skill applied in the learning process. D. A learning disorder involving difficulty in reading and writing. 10. What is the value of AI-powered social robots? A. Engaging students in learning activities. B. Narrowing the social distance between people. C. Assisting learners to overcome social isolation. D. Helping learners adopt effective reading strategies. 11. What does the author say about AI in the last paragraph? A. It can’t provide understanding like human educators. B. It can’t create an inclusive learning environment. C. It can meet a wide range of learning needs. D. It can guarantee learners’ data security. D A new study has shown that playing an instrument or singing in a choir may promote your brain. It explains why generations of parents have told their children to practice their musical instruments. Parents have good reasons to lay emphasis on their children’s musical education since learning an instrument is not only associated with cognitive (认知的) performance but also intelligence scores in children. But does this musicality translate to better cognition later in life? A recent study in the International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry investigated this question by asking middle-aged and older people to complete a questionnaire on their lifetime musical experience before completing cognitive thinking tests. The results showed that musical people had better memory and executive function — the ability to stay focused on tasks, make a plan, and have self-control — than those with less or no musicality. A good memory is important for playing a musical instrument, such as playing music from memory, and this seems to translate to people’s cognitive performance. Similarly, executive function is required when playing an instrument, and it translates to improved cognitive performance too. Although most people in the study played an instrument for only a few years, this finding was similar, regardless of which instrument people played, or the level of musical proficiency (熟练) people acquired.

When I got home, Mum saw the flyer in my hand and asked, “What’s this?” “A flyer for a five-day art camp,” I explained. “But Emily can’t go.” “Would you like to attend?”Mum asked. “You’ve always loved art.” Her words reminded me of what Emily had said earlier: “Tessa, you’re the real artist. My brother thought the roses I painted were rocket ships.” I sighed. Mum patted my back. She knew I had a hard time jumping into something with no familiar faces around. “Maybe next year.” “Maybe,” I echoed. Then I told Mum I wanted to go outside to draw the Westons’ pine tree (松树). She nodded with an encouraging smile. As I walked into the bright sunshine, I couldn’t help but think about the art camp. I wished I felt a little bit braver. Emily could make friends with a whole bus of kids in ten minutes, but my stomach felt like a little boat tossed in a heavy storm when I was surrounded by strangers... By the time I started drawing, I had made up my mind to forget about the art camp. I began by drawing the pine tree’s strong and straight trunk, and then added the beautiful branches, making sure the upper ones lifted gently towards the sun. Lost in my work, I jumped when I heard Mr. Weston speak up, “You’ve done a great job showing the strength of that tree on paper.” “Thanks,” I smiled, glancing up. As I drew the needles to the branches, Mr. Weston told me something I never knew about pines: If you plant the root ball too deep, the tree dies. Their roots grow out, not down—to get enough water and grow tall. “You have a good eye, Tessa.”With these words, Mr. Weston nodded goodbye. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: His words made me pause and think. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next Monday, I signed up for the camp. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5 AAACA 6-10 CBABA 11-15 CAACB 16-20CBBCB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
