My Brother Is Away (Sara Greenwood. illustrated by Luisa: Uribe) It's never easy to explain that a family member is kept in prison, and it can be especially hard for children.

And will he still love her? A gentle and hopeful story for kids about very adult situations and complex feelings. (For ages 5 to 8) Eyes that Kiss in the Corners (Joanna Ho, illustrated by Dung Ho) This book is brilliantly written because it focuses both on how the characters' eyes look and on how they see. Focusing on a young girl who takes pride in her "eyes that kiss in the corner and glow like warm tea", Joanna Ho's lyrical intergenerational story combines with Dung Ho's warm and often magical imagery to bring us a celebration or how we see the world - and how we see ourselves. (For ages 4 to 8) Rez Dogs (Joseph Bruchac) When COVID-19 hits, Malian is visiting her grandparents.

A travel journal B In late spring and early summer each year. tens of millions of butterflies come out of their chrysalises (蚕) in the butterfly valley in southwest China's Yunnan province. For butterfly expert Yang Zhenwen, it is the busiest time of the year, but he greets it with great enthusiasm. Before the break of dawn, Yang has already arrived at the observation point, diligently tending to the needs of the awakening butterflies. "Due to warmer temperatures, the 'butterfly explosion' this year-oceurred slightly -earlier than usual, and the size of the butterflies is larger than that in previous years," said 46-year-old Yang, curator (馆长) of ,。 the butterfly valley museum. "We expect that there will be about 80 million to 10o million butterflies in the valley during this year's 'butterfly explosion'. That seems so crazy," said Yang. According to Yang, in the valley, more than 320 butterfly species have been identified in specimens or photographs, including the rarest, most primitive, largest and smallest butterflies in China Besides Yang, many local villages have also assumed the role of butterfly guardians However, the journey toward achieving human-butterfly harmony was far from easy. Some two decades ago, the villagers had little awareness of butterfly protection, believing wrongly that butterflies could endanger their food crops. They viewed them as pests that should be removed. In 1998, Yang began his journey at the agricultural science station in Ma'an'di Township, the very place where the butterfly valley lies. "It was there that I got into a frequent dilemma - the local villagers, seeking to protect their crops, would often turn to pesticides to kill the butterflies,"he said. "However, my sincere love for these creatures forced me to prevent them from harming the delicate insects." Now, the development of ecotourism relying on butterfly resources has successfull transformed the once impoverished(贫 困的) township. More villagers have started engaging in butterfly breeding. "Protecting the forests, conserving water sources and preserving butterflies have become conscious actions within the local community," said Yang. He describes the butterfly valley as a "dream-making machine", which extends the "butterfly dream" of harmonious coexisteuce between humans and nature. 5o.

However, recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AD 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 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 t_ 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 61. 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 62. 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 63. What is the value of AI-powered social robots? A. Engaging students in learning activities B. Assisting learners to overcome social isolation C. Narrowing the social distance between people. D. Helping learners adopt effective reading strategies. (4. What does the author say about AI in the last paragraph A. It can guarantee learners' data security. B. It can meet a wide range of learning needs C. It can't create an inclusive learning environment C D. It can't provide understanding like human educators. 65. According to the article, which of the following is not considered an advantage of A in education? A. Providing personalized learning support B. Boosting students'social and emotional skills C. Offering writing feedback through NLP technology D. Making human educators unnecessary in the classroom 五、阅读表达(5题,5分) 阅读下面短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题 My teacher Peter Bullock proved that science wasn't boring and made physics great fun. In every lesson he would produce one of those worksheets in purple ink that smelled fresh from the machine. Every. sheet contained a poem or a joke and we looked forward to them being handed out. I've kept them all to show to my own children. There was one poen in particular that's stayed in my memory, which went ln early days Man measured Time By sunrise and sunset sublime: As well as being able to turn physics into poetry, Peter had energy and passion and conveyed the sense that science was part of the world around you and not a dull. boring academic discipline. I'm sure he was sticking pretty much to the standard topics-waves and electricity and so on--but he managed to convert everything into a joke or a story and did so in a clever and imaginative way. Peter Bullock was not only an exciting teacher, but also the man who founded the debate club in my school. He encouraged me to take part and express mvself in a forcefu way that l've been doing ever since-and getting paid for it. That made me what I am today-a commercial lawyer Peter Bullock taught me throughout my secondary schooling and I took physics. chemistry and maths at A-level. Everyone in his class enjoyed learning. He was inspiring He turned me on to the idea that the things you are interested in might seem dull on the surface, but you can still excite others. For example, when I tell people I'm interested in law, they may think: "How boring." I guess being a physics teacher is much the same Peter showed me that what matters is how you convey your own passion so that you excite other people. ⊙南开中学2024-2025学年度第一学期阶段性 质量监测（二） 高二英语试卷 答案 一听力理解 1-5 CAABC 6-10 CBABC 11-15 BBACA 二、单项选择 16-20 DACBC 21-25 ABCCD 26-30 ABCDB 三、完型填空 31-35 BACDA 36-40 CABAD 41-45 CBCCD 46-50 BDBAC 四、阅读理解 51-55 ABCDB 56-60 BCBBC 61-65 DDBDD 五、阅读表达 66.Because every sheet contained/had a poem or a joke Or:Because there was a poem/a joke on every sheet.
