Mustafa had to go through painful procedures after being diagnosed (诊断) with cancer at an early age. Her father expressed her sadness when she lost her hair after months of chemotherapy (化疗). “She saw children of her age jumping in playgrounds and spending hours styling their hair, while she couldn’t. Losing her hair made her hopeless, negatively impacting her response to treatment,” the girl’s father said. Coming from a less fortunate family, Mustafa now sits in a humble hairdresser’s in Cairo, sliding her fingers through her new long hair as she looks in the mirror with fresh enthusiasm. Behind that smile and renewed confidence is Salam, from Egypt, who has been personally funding and designing free wigs for children with cancer to give them power to defeat their illness. Salam took up his mission when he saw a viral video on social media of a young cancer patient who was excited at receiving a new wig. It was the moment when he decided to provide free wigs to children with cancer to lift up their spirits. “Many families can barely afford expensive cancer treatment costs, let alone costly cosmetic (美容) services that can play a huge role in restoring children`s confidence and giving them strength to continue their treatment,” said Salam. As part of the self-funded initiative, Salam purchases the necessary requirements to make a wig, while his father helps design hairstyles to serve different children. So far, Salam has helped over 15 children walk out of his shop empowered with big smiles. Despite the several challenges, Salam said making wigs gives him as much happiness as it does for his young customers. “Children need the emotional and moral support to go through this tough illness.” He added, “Losing their hair drives them to withdraw into themselves out of fear and embarrassment. I cannot help in their treatment, but I can help them get through it.” 4. Why are a toy and candy mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To suggest the girl’s age. B. To imply a serious illness. C. To show the shortage of toys. D. To highlight the value of the wig. 5. What can be learned from the father`s words? A. Hair style matters much. B. Sports benefit Mustafa. C. Hair loss depressed Mustafa. D. Mustafa’s treatment failed. 6. What led to Salam`s decision on the mission? A. His sympathy. B. Family support. C. Govemment fund. D. Mustafa’s enthusiasm. 7. What kind of person is Salam according to the passage? A. Cautious and creative. B. Inspiring and talented. C. Caring and determined. D. Ambitious and patient. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了一位来自埃及的叫萨拉姆的人，他一直为患有癌症的儿童个人资助和设计免费假发，给他们战胜疾病的力量，后来决定为患有癌症的孩子们提供免费的假发，让他们振作起来。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Five-year-old Mustafa is smiling for the first time in ages. She did not receive a new toy or her favorite candy; rather, she got a wig(假发).”（五岁的穆斯塔法这么多年来第一次露出了笑容。她没有收到新玩具或她最喜欢的糖果；相反，她得到了一顶假发。）以及第二段中“Mustafa had to go through painful procedures after being diagnosed(诊断)with cancer at an early age. Her father expressed her sadness when she lost her hair after months of chemotherapy(化疗).”（穆斯塔法在很小的时候就被诊断出患有癌症，不得不经历痛苦的手术。当她在数月的化疗后脱发时，她的父亲表达了她的悲伤。）可知，穆斯塔法因为被诊断患有癌症，经过数月的化疗后头发掉光了，因此相比于收到新玩具或者最喜欢的糖果，收到一顶假发对她来说是更有意义的。故第一段提到了玩具和糖果是为了突出假发的价值。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“She saw children of her age jumping in playgrounds and spending hours styling their hair, while she couldn’t. Losing her hair made her hopeless, negatively impacting her response to treatment,” the girl’s father said.”（她看到和她同龄的孩子在操场上蹦蹦跳跳，花上几个小时做发型，而她却不能。失去头发让她绝望，对她的治疗产生了负面影响，”女孩的父亲说。）可推知，我们能从父亲的话中了解到失去使穆斯塔法沮丧。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的““Many families can barely afford expensive cancer treatment costs, let alone costly cosmetic (美容) services that can play a huge role in restoring children’s confidence and giving them strength to continue their treatment,” said Salam.(“许多家庭几乎负担不起昂贵的癌症治疗费用，更不用说昂贵的美容服务了，而美容服务可以在恢复孩子们的信心、给他们继续治疗的力量方面发挥巨大作用，”萨拉姆说)”可知，萨拉姆很同情这些孩子的遭遇，所以开始行动起来。由此推知，萨拉姆的同情促使他决定执行这项任务。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中““Many families can barely afford expensive cancer treatment costs, let alone costly cosmetic(美容)services that can play a huge role in restoring children`s confidence and giving them strength to continue their treatment,” said Salam.”（萨拉姆说：“许多家庭几乎负担不起昂贵的癌症治疗费用，更不用说昂贵的美容服务了，而这些服务可以在恢复孩子们的信心、给他们继续治疗的力量方面发挥巨大作用。”）可知，萨拉姆很有爱心。根据最后一段中“Despite the several challenges, Salam said making wigs gives him as much happiness as it does for his young customers.”（萨拉姆说，尽管遇到了一些挑战，但制作假发给他带来的快乐和为他的年轻顾客带来的快乐一样多。）可知，萨拉姆是一个意志坚定的人。由此可知，萨拉姆是一个关心他人和有决心的人。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 In 1970s, a psychologist named J. P. Guilford conducted a famous study of creativity known as the nine-dot puzzle (九点谜题). He challenged research subjects to connect all nine dots using just four straight lines without lifting their pencils from the page. All the participants limited the possible solutions to those within the imaginary square. Only 20 percent managed to break out of the confinement (束缚) and continue their lines in the white space surrounding the dots. The fact that 80 percent of the participants were effectively blinded by the boundaries of the square led Guilford to jump to the sweeping conclusion that creativity requires you to go outside the box. The idea went viral. Overnight, it seemed that creativity experts everywhere were teaching managers how to think outside the box. The concept enjoyed such strong popularity that no one bothered to check the facts. No one, that is, before two different research teams-Clarke Burnham with Kenneth Davis, and Joseph Alba with Robert Weisberg-ran another experiment. Both teams followed the same way of dividing participants into two groups. The first group was given the same instructions as the participants in Guilford’s experiment. The second group was told that the solution required the lines to be drawn outside the imaginary box. Guess what? Only 25 percent solved the puzzle. In statistical terms, this 5 percent improvement is insignificant as this could be called sampling error. Let’s look a little more closely at the surprising result. Solving this problem requires people to literally think outside the box. Yet participants’ performance was not improved even when they were given specific instructions to do so. That is, direct and clear instructions to think outside the box did not help. That this advice is useless should effectively have killed off the much widely spread — and therefore, much more dangerous — metaphor (比喻) that out-of-the-box thinking boosts creativity. After all, with one simple yet brilliant experiment, researchers had proven that the conceptual link between thinking outside the box and creativity was a misunderstanding. 12. What did the nine-dot puzzle study focus on? A. Visual perception. B. Thinking patterns. C. Practical experience. D. Theoretical knowledge. 13. Why did the two research teams run the follow-up experiment? A. To test the catchy concept. B. To contradict the initial idea. C. To collect supporting evidence D. To identify the underlying logic. 14. Which of the following best describes the follow-up experiment? A. Groundless. B. Inspiring. C. Fruitless. D. Revealing. 15. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Puzzle Solving: A Key To Creativity B. Thinking Outside the Box: A Misguided Idea C. Nine-Dot Puzzle: A Magic Test D. Creative Thinking: We Fell For The Trap 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了20世纪70年代，一位名叫J. P.吉尔福德的心理学家进行了一项著名的关于创造力的研究，名为“九点谜题”, 这让吉尔福德得出了一个笼统的结论：创造力需要你跳出框框。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“He challenged research subjects to connect all nine dots using just four straight lines without lifting their pencils from the page. All the participants limited the possible solutions to those within the imaginary square. Only 20 percent managed to break out of the confinement (束缚) and continue their lines in the white space surrounding the dots. (他要求研究对象在不把铅笔从纸上拿起来的情况下，用四条直线把九个点连起来。所有的参与者都将可能的解决方案限制在虚方范围内。只有20%的人成功地打破了限制，在圆点周围的白色空间里继续他们的线条)”可推知，九点谜题研究的重点是思维模式。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The idea went viral. Overnight, it seemed that creativity experts everywhere were teaching managers how to think outside the box. The concept enjoyed such strong popularity that no one bothered to check the facts. No one, that is, before two different research teams-Clarke Burnham with Kenneth Davis, and Joseph Alba with Robert Weisberg-ran another experiment. (一夜之间，各地的创造力专家似乎都在教管理者如何跳出固有思维。这个概念非常受欢迎，以至于没有人费心去核实事实。在两个不同的研究小组——克拉克·伯纳姆和肯尼斯·戴维斯以及约瑟夫·阿尔巴和罗伯特·维斯伯格——进行另一个实验之前，没有人做过另一个实验)”可推知，两个研究小组进行了后续实验来测试这个吸引人的概念。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Yet participants’ performance was not improved even when they were given specific instructions to do so. That is, direct and clear instructions to think outside the box did not help. That this advice is useless should effectively have killed off the much widely spread — and therefore, much more dangerous — metaphor (比喻) that out-of-the-box thinking boosts creativity.(然而，即使给了参与者明确的指示，他们的表现也没有得到改善。也就是说，直接而明确的跳出思维定式的指示并没有帮助。这个建议是无用的，这应该有效地扼杀了广泛传播的——因此，更危险的——开箱即用思维促进创造力的比喻。毕竟，通过一个简单而出色的实验，研究人员已经证明，打破常规思考和创造力之间的概念联系是一种误解)”可推知，后续的实验很有启示意义。故选D。 15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“In 1970s, a psychologist named J. P. Guilford conducted a famous study of creativity known as the nine-dot puzzle (九点谜题). (20世纪70年代，一位名叫J. P.吉尔福德的心理学家进行了一项著名的关于创造力的研究，名为“九点谜题”)”及下文介绍可知，文章主要介绍了20世纪70年代，一位名叫J. P.吉尔福德的心理学家进行了一项著名的关于创造力的研究，名为“九点谜题”, 这让吉尔福德得出了一个笼统的结论：创造力需要你跳出框框。由此可知，Thinking Outside the Box: A Misguided Idea(跳出框框思考：一个被误导的想法)适合作本文最佳标题。故选B。 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s a struggle for many of us to get out of the sedentary (久坐的) lifestyle, despite our best intentions. ___16___, the biggest barriers are mental ones. Maybe it’s a lack of self-confidence that keeps you from taking positive steps, or you get easily discouraged and give up. You already know there are many ways and great reasons to exercise — from improving mood, sleep, and health to reducing anxiety. But knowing how and why to exercise can’t get you starting and sticking to your exercise plan. ___17___, you need to follow these steps which can make exercise less painful and more fun. ● Get rid of the all-or-nothing attitude. You don’t have to spend hours in a gym or force yourself into boring or painful activities you hate to experience the physical and emotional benefits of exercise. ___18___. In fact, adding just tiny amounts of physical activity to your weekly routine can have a great effect on your mental and physical health. ● Be kind to yourself. Don’t punish yourself if you miss a workout. ___19___. If you miss a day, consider it a rest day, and remember there’s always tomorrow. If you have a hard time sticking with your workout routine, just try something different. There are plenty of ways to stay active, and at the end of the day, you will find an exercise routine that works for you. ● ___20___. You are not out of shape overnight, and you’re not going to instantly transform your body either. Demanding too much, too soon only leads to dissatisfaction. Instead of paying attention only to results, focus on consistency (连贯性). A. Let it go and be patient B. Share the results with others C. Have reasonable expectations D. If you really want to make exercise a habit E. Remember a little exercise is better than nothing F. If you are having trouble in finding an exercise to do on a daily basis G. While practical concerns like a busy schedule can make exercise challenging 【答案】16. G 17. D 18. E 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。对于我们中的大多数人而言，摆脱久坐的生活方式是一件难事，而运动对于摆脱久坐有很多益处。本文介绍了如何使运动变得不那么痛苦且更有乐趣的方法。 【16题详解】 空前“It’s a struggle for many of us to get out of the sedentary (久坐的) lifestyle, despite our best intentions.(尽管我们有最好的意图，对我们中的许多人来说，摆脱久坐不动的生活方式是一场斗争)”说明对我们中的大多数人而言，摆脱久坐的生活方式仍是一件难事。空后“the biggest barriers are mental ones(最大的障碍是心理上的障碍)”说明最大的障碍是心理上的。空处内容很可能与心理障碍形成对比，且涉及阻碍我们运动的事情。G项“虽然繁忙的日程安排等实际问题可能会使锻炼具有挑战性”提到了现实生活中的一个实际问题——繁忙的日程，这能导致锻炼变得有挑战性，且与心理障碍形成对比。故选G。 【17题详解】 空前“You already know there are many ways and great reasons to exercise — from improving mood, sleep, and health to reducing anxiety. But knowing how and why to exercise can’t get you starting and sticking to your exercise plan.(你已经知道有很多方法和很好的理由去锻炼——从改善情绪、睡眠和健康到减少焦虑。但是知道如何以及为什么锻炼并不能让你开始并坚持你的锻炼计划)”说明尽管你知道锻炼的多种方法和重要原因，但这些无法帮助你开始并坚持锻炼计划。空后“you need to follow these steps which can make exercise less painful and more fun(你需要遵循这些措施，它们可以让锻炼少一些痛苦，多一些乐趣)”说明需要遵循这些措施以使锻炼变得不那么痛苦且更有乐趣。由此可知，空处内容应是关于让锻炼变成习惯。D项“If you really want to make exercise a habit (如果你真的想让锻炼成为一种习惯)”提供了一个前提条件，表示如果你真的想要使锻炼成为一种习惯，这与空后提到的需要遵循的步骤紧密相关。故选D。 【18题详解】 空前“Get rid of the all-or-nothing attitude. You don’t have to spend hours in a gym or force yourself into boring or painful activities you hate to experience the physical and emotional benefits of exercise.(摆脱孤注一掷的态度。你不必花几个小时在健身房或强迫自己做无聊或痛苦的你不喜欢的活动，为了体验锻炼对身体和情感的好处)”说明摒弃极端的态度，你不用长时间待在健身房或强迫自己做自己讨厌的单调或痛苦的活动来体验锻炼对身体和情感的益处。因此空处需要填入的内容应与对待运动的正确态度有关。E项“Remember a little exercise is better than nothing(请记住，一点运动总比没有好)”与空前提到的极端的态度形成对比，强调即使是少量的锻炼也好过完全不锻炼，且E项中的“a little exercise”与空后的“tiny amounts of physical activity”呼应。故选E。 【19题详解】 空前“Be kind to yourself. Don’t punish yourself if you miss a workout.(善待自己。不要因为错过了锻炼而惩罚自己)”暗示空处填入的内容应与对待错过锻炼的态度有关，尤其是在没有按时每天锻炼时如何保持积极的心态。A项中的“Let it go”与前文的态度一致，强调采取一种轻松态度——随它去吧。A项中的“be patient”呼应后文中的“at the end of the day, you will find an exercise routine that works for you (归根结底，您会找到适合您的锻炼进程)”，因此推断A项“放手，耐心等待”符合句意。故选A。 【20题详解】 根据最后三段的结构特点可知，空处是本段的主旨句。空后“You are not out of shape overnight, and you’re not going to instantly transform your body either. Demanding too much, too soon only leads to dissatisfaction. Instead of paying attention only to results, focus on consistency (连贯性).(你不会一夜之间走样，你也不会立刻改变你的身材。要求太多，太快只会导致不满。与其只关注结果，不如关注连贯性)”讲述你不是一夜之间变得不健康的，你也不可能立刻改变你的身体，接着指出要求太多和太快只会导致不满。由此可推知，本段主要讲述的是要有合理的锻炼期望。故选C。 第三部分语言知识运用(共三节,满分45分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Patrick, Scheels store`s fishing manager, always helps customers with their angling (垂钓) needs, but one ____21____ stood out. One day, a young boy named Xander entered the store with his mother, Brynn. Patrick noticed his eye were filled with ____22____ about the world of fishing. For nearly half an hour, they ____23____ their shared passion.

She did not receive a new toy or her favorite candy; rather, she got a wig (假发). Mustafa had to go through painful procedures after being diagnosed (诊断) with cancer at an early age. Her father expressed her sadness when she lost her hair after months of chemotherapy (化疗). “She saw children of her age jumping in playgrounds and spending hours styling their hair, while she couldn’t. Losing her hair made her hopeless, negatively impacting her response to treatment,” the girl’s father said. Coming from a less fortunate family, Mustafa now sits in a humble hairdresser’s in Cairo, sliding her fingers through her new long hair as she looks in the mirror with fresh enthusiasm. Behind that smile and renewed confidence is Salam, from Egypt, who has been personally funding and designing free wigs for children with cancer to give them power to defeat their illness. Salam took up his mission when he saw a viral video on social media of a young cancer patient who was excited at receiving a new wig. It was the moment when he decided to provide free wigs to children with cancer to lift up their spirits. “Many families can barely afford expensive cancer treatment costs let alone costly cosmetic (美容) services that can play a huge role in restoring children`s confidence and giving them strength to continue their treatment,” said Salam. As part of the self-funded initiative, Salam purchases the necessary requirements to make a wig, while his father helps design hairstyles to serve different children. So far, Salam has helped over 15 children walk out of his shop empowered with big smiles. Despite the several challenges, Salam said making wigs gives him as much happiness as it does for his young customers. “Children need the emotional and moral support to go through this tough illness.” He added, “Losing their hair drives them to withdraw into themselves out of fear and embarrassment. I cannot help in their treatment, but I can help them get through it.” 4. Why are a toy and candy mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To suggest the girl’s age. B. To imply a serious illness. C. To show the shortage of toys. D. To highlight the value of the wig. 5. What can be learned from the father`s words? A. Hair style matters much. B. Sports benefit Mustafa. C. Hair loss depressed Mustafa. D. Mustafa’s treatment failed. 6. What led to Salam`s decision on the mission? A. His sympathy. B. Family support. C. Govemment fund. D. Mustafa’s enthusiasm. 7. What kind of person is Salam according to the passage? A. Cautious and creative. B. Inspiring and talented. C. Caring and determined. D. Ambitious and patient. 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.

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 In 1970s, a psychologist named J. P. Guilford conducted a famous study of creativity known as the nine-dot puzzle (九点谜题). He challenged research subjects to connect all nine dots using just four straight lines without lifting their pencils from the page. All the participants limited the possible solutions to those within the imaginary square. Only 20 percent managed to break out of the confinement (束缚) and continue their lines in the white space surrounding the dots. The fact that 80 percent of the participants were effectively blinded by the boundaries of the square led Guilford to jump to the sweeping conclusion that creativity requires you to go outside the box. The idea went viral. Overnight, it seemed that creativity experts everywhere were teaching managers how to think outside the box. The concept enjoyed such strong popularity that no one bothered to check the facts. No one, that is, before two different research teams-Clarke Burnham with Kenneth Davis, and Joseph Alba with Robert Weisberg-ran another experiment. Both teams followed the same way of dividing participants into two groups. The first group was given the same instructions as the participants in Guilford’s experiment. The second group was told that the solution required the lines to be drawn outside the imaginary box. Guess what? Only 25 percent solved the puzzle. In statistical terms, this 5 percent improvement is insignificant as this could be called sampling error. Let’s look a little more closely at the surprising result. Solving this problem requires people to literally think outside the box. Yet participants’ performance was not improved even when they were given specific instructions to do so. That is, direct and clear instructions to think outside the box did not help. That this advice is useless should effectively have killed off the much widely spread — and therefore, much more dangerous — metaphor (比喻) that out-of-the-box thinking boosts creativity. After all, with one simple yet brilliant experiment, researchers had proven that the conceptual link between thinking outside the box and creativity was a misunderstanding. 12. What did the nine-dot puzzle study focus on? A. Visual perception. B. Thinking patterns. C. Practical experience. D. Theoretical knowledge. 13. Why did the two research teams run the follow-up experiment? A. To test the catchy concept. B. To contradict the initial idea. C. To collect supporting evidence D. To identify the underlying logic. 14. Which of the following best describes the follow-up experiment? A. Groundless. B. Inspiring. C. Fruitless. D. Revealing. 15. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Puzzle Solving: A Key To Creativity B. Thinking Outside the Box: A Misguided Idea C. Nine-Dot Puzzle: A Magic Test D.
