After a few days watching my children use artificial intelligence-based learning tools,I can tell you the short answer is NO. Human intelligence is different from the computer's.For one,human intelligence cannot be measured.The brain is plastic,always developing and growing as we learn from our environments.In addition,human intelligence relies on human interaction.Exercising our intelligence is something we do naturally as we connect with others, consider the world around us and seek to improve our relationship with that world. In education,there has been a movement toward social-emotional and problem-based learning.So educators attempt to motivate interest in subjects and skills by turning learning moments into communal (problem- solving events.When we combine analytical learning with social-emotional learning,students become mastered in the material we want them to know and get more excited about the learning process. Using Al looks very different from this.AI learning often involves an individual working alone with a computer program.It can crowd source information to help students find facts about their environment,solve a problem and come up with a creative way forward.But Al doesn't force students to think through or keep anything.And simply being fed facts and information is not the same as "learning". It is fascinating to imagine that AI might cure what annoys us.Many parents don't have the resources in time, money or energy-to teach their kids at home.If AI could fill the gaps,how great,right?Yet the nature of Al "teaching"as it currently exists means that students merely level up without learning.When it comes to developing intelligence,nothing can beat what we humans have been doing,face to face,for centuries. 1.What do we know about human intelligence according to paragraph 2? A.It is measured easily. B.It is of great significance. C.It is related to education. D.It is changeable and interactive. 2.What can be inferred about Al learning from paragraph 4? A.It is widely used at school. B.It makes no difference to education. C.It helps develop students'intelligence. D.It does little help with students'true learning. 练习生高中英语·选择性必修第四册·YL 3.What is the author's attitude to Al learning? A.Unclear. B.Neutral.

This is especially true among young people in some English-speaking countries such as Australia,the UK,and the US.These days,if they haven't caught up with the latest popular Internet slang,chances are that they often feel out of the loop on social media. Take these posts by The Washington Post for example:"David Bowie dying is totes tradge"and"When Cookie hugged Jamal,it made me totes emosh".What on earth do these mean?Well,"totes"is a short form of the adverb “totally”.Likewise,“tradge”means“tragic”and“emosh”means“emotional". It seems that,for millennials those born between the early 1980s and late 1990s),typing in this abbreviated form is not only time-saving but also hip.Many millennial slang words are formed by what linguists call the practice of totesing-the systematic abbreviation of words,according to a recent article in The Washington Post. Some people think that millennial slang affects the English language negatively.However,Melbourne University linguist Rosey Billington doesn't agree. "When you are able to use language in a creative way,you show you are linguistically knowledgeable because you know the language rules well enough to use words in a different way,"Billington told News.com.au.Her view is backed up by two linguists,Lauren Spradlin,and Taylor Jones,from the City University of New York and the University of Pennsylvania respectively.The two believe that totes-speak is a highly-organized system that can only be used by speakers who have mastered English pronunciation. "The ability to break apart syllables and mix different sounds together is key.Totesing is about sounds,and it follows the sometimes complicated sound system of English,"Jones told The Washington Post.Totesing is not random.On the contrary,it has strict rules to follow.You need to be very fluent in the English language to be able to understand totes-speak. 1.What does the underlined phrase "out of the loop"in the second paragraph probably mean? A.Accepted easily. B.Bored and annoyed. C.Comfortable and relaxed. D.Unaware of certain information. 2.How does the author explain the phenomenon of totesing? A.By making comparisons. B.By listing examples. C.By giving descriptions. D.By analyzing cause and effect. 3.What is Lauren Spradlin's attitude toward the practice of totesing? A.Worried. B.Cautious. C.Positive. D.Critical. 1/75/1111 H 练习生高中英语·选择性必修第四册·YL 4.Which of the following might Taylor Jones agree with? A.Internet slang is mostly created by professional linguists. B.Totesing is mainly about making words easier to pronounce. C.Totesing should be promoted since it is cool,creative and time-saving. D.Totesing requires speakers to master the language's rules very well. B 子主题2 Buckley和“you've got Buckley's chance'”语篇类型记叙文词数3l8关键词phrase,Buckley [2022-2023江西名校联盟高二下联考]There's a phrase in Australia that is still widely in use today, "you've got Buckley's chance".It relates to a man named William Buckley. Born in Cheshire,England,Buckley had served in the Napoleonic Wars where he was wounded in action, before being accused of receiving stolen goods (a roll of cloth)and sentenced to transportation for life in 1802.Buckley arrived at Port Phillip Bay with more than 300 soldiers,settlers and prisoners in 1803,aged 23. However,the settlers failed to settle at Port Phillip Bay and they gave up the site they chose for their settlement.As the settlers prepared to leave for Tasmania,Buckley escaped with 2 other men.But after reaching the other side of Port Phillip Bay,the two tired,hungry and frightened men turned back for Sullivan Bay.

The key to her success was an ancient technology called the abacus.Stevenson used a practice called "mental abacus calculation",imagining the abacus in her mind and then using her fingers to work through the problems. From watching Stevenson,I knew that gaining skill at the abacus was more than a matter of counting beads,so I decided to sign up for an abacus course with my two daughters to see if we could also improve our math skills.I was one of the many who had some math doubts and I felt a touch of fear.My typical solution was avoidance,and if I had to calculate something like a percentage change,I would go online. Then after a few abacus classes and a good amount of practice,math seemed a little less frightening.I didn't become Euclid,the founder of geometry.But the practice brought my numerical fears down.This is a time-tested power of the abacus.Confidence grows easily in the device,and abacus students are less likely to be nervous about an upcoming math test,according to one study.Part of the reason,it seems,is that practice and outcomes appear to move in step. My kids gained much as well.My youngest daughter could work out those math problems that once baffled her, while my older child brought her abacus to school to show it to her classmates and teacher.These were just small successes for them,but that was how they finally developed confidence. 1.What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A.To prove the difficulty of math. B.To introduce the topic of the abacus. C.To show the high intelligence of Stevenson. D.To stress the importance of abacus learning. 2.What do we know about the author from paragraph 3? A.He was weak in math. B.He was good at computers. C.He regarded math as useful. D.He had a close relationship with kids. 3.What does the author realize from his learning experience? A.Knowledge starts with practice. B.It's never too late to learn. 1 8011 Unit 4 Never too old to learn C.Faith can move mountains. D.Practice makes perfect. 4.What does the underlined word "baffled"in the last paragraph mean? A.Bored. B.Inspired. C.Defeated.

Suddenly,he heard a soft voice."Kyle?What's wrong,honey?"Kyle looked up and saw his next-door neighbor,Mrs.Bennet.Kyle liked the sweet 80-year-old lady in a wheelchair,so he told her everything."I got a C on my math test,and both my teacher and mom were angry with me!"he complained,wiping his tears. The old lady patted his shoulders and smiled gently."How about I help you with your math,Kyle?I once used to be a math teacher. //81
