It is common that people always think crying is a sign of sadness. But it is not always the truth. When babies are hungry, they will cry to show their feelings and get tasty food. Then babies feel like being on cloud nine and of course stop crying. We also know that many people may think crying is a bad thing and it may be bad for their health. However, in fact, sometimes it is healthy to have some tears. According to the studies, some health problems have something to do with not crying enough. Sometimes people need to cry more because it helps them to get well. Different cultures have different ideas about crying. The people in Indonesia think that crying—unless done by a person who has lost a close friend—is unhealthy and that it can cause health problems. In some other cultures, people usually cry together when they are afraid of something and in times of sadness. People have been studying crying for a long time and here are two interesting studies about crying. A study of 5,000 people in 35 countries made by Professor Ad Vingerhoets found that women usually cried between 30 and 64 times a year while men usually cried 6 to 17 times a year. Vingerhocts thinks that women’s higher prolactin levels (催乳素水平) may cause women to cry more. Prolactin levels are especially higher when women are having babies. Besides that, according to another study, when 150 women were watching the film Steel Magnolias, scientists found 22 percent of them cried and the others didn’t. Those who cried felt more sadness for a long time. The study said crying can make people sadder, and it took people longer to get well. Crying may make people feel better only if it helps with their problems. Studies show comfort from a friend does make people feel that crying is a good idea. So next time you don’t feel good, you can talk with your friend and cry out to make yourself feel better. Try to have a good cry! 1．The underlined words “feel like being on cloud nine” in Paragraph 1 are closest in meaning to “________.” A．feel very great B．feel quite scared C．feel really thankful D．feel truly tired 2．The people in Indonesia think________.

A．most people prefer crying to smiling in daily life B．people may cry more after watching a sad movie C．one can stop crying quickly whenever he wants D．people may feel better after having a good cry （23-24八年级下·北京房山·期末）We have more or less trouble to face in our life. These things may give you too much stress (精神压力) which is bad for your development. What can you do to solve this kind of problem? As a student, managing all the schoolwork and getting good grades are at the top of your stress list. You have a large amount of schoolwork to do every day. Although your scores are not terrible, you may still worry that you are not as high as you have expected. Why not make a daily or weekly plan in such a case? In this way, you can save more time to study and even avoid being too tired by taking some breaks. Don’t be too strict with yourself. Just do what you can do. If you meet something beyond (超越) your ability, just go to your teacher for help—pick his or her brain or make any questions you don’t understand clear. Have you ever been anxious about not having many friends in school or not being in the same class with your best friends? Having a bad relationship (关系) with new classmates is also our common stress. It is important to choose your circle of friends. Don’t hide yourself in your own world and try to make friends when you participate in after-school activities. Make plans to meet your friends from other classes during break time. Know that everyone is different—do not compare yourself with others. You’ll be less stressed that way. Unhealthy eating habits and lack (缺乏) of sleep can also lead to stress. You are what you eat. Make healthy food choices that you can enjoy. Set a certain time to go to bed every night. Don’t play computer or mobile games before you sleep. Do see a doctor if your sleeping problem continues. The more successfully you deal with your stress, the better you will feel about yourself.

By 2021, that average had increased to 5 hours and 33 minutes per day. Do kids need help putting their devices down, or can they decide on their own? There are a lot of research studies show that too much screen time can have a negative effect (效果) on people. Therefore, some countries try to make people stay away from devices. People living in a village in India have agreed to turn off their televisions and phones for one and a half hours every evening. A community uses the siren (汽笛) sounds to remind people to turn off the televisions and phones at 19:00. At 20:30, a second siren sound rings to show that screen-free time is over. In this way, people can have screen-free time, which is called a “digital detox”. It is when a person stops using digital devices for a fixed time. Some people say that taking a break from electronic devices is good. Screen-free time allows kids to connect to the outside world and with family and friends. Seeing people face to face helps to cure (治愈) loneliness. Kids can be more active if they are not on their phones or watching TV all the time, which is beneficial (有益的) to health. However, there are people who hold different ideas. Digital devices allow friends and family far away from each other to stay in touch. Besides, screen time can be valuable-kids can read great books, discover interesting facts or learn about important things happening in the world. Is there a way to find a balance between digital devices and our life? I think so. The good way is to cut down kid’s usage of digital devices by setting time limits. What’s more, if parents offer kids activities they find valuable, such as sports and art activities they enjoy, they will be less likely to spend time on social media. Once they become used to these activities, they will feel surprised how little they think about their phone. 1．The underlined phrase “digital detox” in paragraph 2 means “________”. A．the place to reduce the screen time B．the game to turn off the television C．the device to connect with friends D．the time to stop using digital devices 2．What can we learn from the passage? A．Digital devices work as well as face-to-face communication. B．People in India have found a way to shorten the screen time. C．Limiting the usage of the phones can lead to their loneliness. D．Spending time with family is the easiest way to keep kids happy. 3．The writer may agree that ________. A．parents will feel worried if kids send the messages B．parents help kids set limit on what they see on devices C．kids may spend less screen time with the help of parents D．kids are likely to do less outdoor activities they enjoy 4．What is the writer mainly telling us? A．Causes and results about balanced life. B．Opinions and facts about digital devices. C．Choices and reasons about online activities. D．Problems and solutions about screen time. （23-24八年级下·北京昌平·期末） The classroom environment has kept up with new technologies. First, we had blackboards and chalk. Then whiteboards and markers. Now we have interactive (交互的) whiteboards. From big, heavy televisions that were wheeled between classrooms, to flat do-it-all screens. So, what could the school of the future look like? Improved courses Different from the old-school traditions in English, math, social studies and science, we’ll have more meaningful and colorful courses. Instead of limiting students’ choices, teachers can let students choose whatever they like according to their interests and needs for their future career. Schools can create more opportunities for students to get useful skills through real-world practice, like cooking, money management, fixing the computer and gardening. Students will develop their deep thinking, problem-solving and communication skills through these courses. The classroom environment For the school of the future, there will be no need to fight with heavy curtains or dust-covered blinds. And we’ll have smart glass. Windows can change their color to make up for light outside, protecting both our eyes and screens. As summers get hotter and winters become warmer and wetter, air-conditioned classrooms will become common. And they will be cleaner and more environment-friendly, with built-in air cleaners to remove bad stuff and dust from the air. Augmented (增强的) reality and AI Adaptive (适应的) learning systems driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI) have become part of schools by 2050. These systems will give each student a special learning plan based on how they can learn better and will offer leveled tests depending on how the student is doing. AI may be also used to analyse (分析) students’ work, helping teachers understand which students need more help on weak lessons before they fall behind. Students will be able to get teachers’ advice quickly, with what needed to be improved and more personal guidance, fit for a student’s advantages and weaknesses. Undoubtedly, the biggest development we’ve seen in recent years has been in great progress in technology, so we can be quite certain that it has the ability to change schools over the next 20 or 30 years. 1．The writer may advise students to take the courses that ________.

D．To show the importance of technology in changing future school. （23-24八年级下·北京通州·期末）It can be easy to spend a lot of time online, but it is important for you to know how often and why you go online. It can help you work out a healthier and happier balance (平衡) with time offline. Being online should improve our lives, not control them. If you always feel you need to check your mobile phones, it is probably time to take a break. Too much time online can make your study more difficult and it is bad for your health. It is important to remember that if you are constantly taking photos or chatting online, it can be hard to keep track of what is going on around you. This might have a serious influence on your connections with the people beside you, even if you don’t want to make them feel like you are not interested in them. Take breaks from the apps (应用程序) and games. You don’t need to stop using them, just trying turning off notifications during study hours, or setting time limits. You can consider which online activities you can do offline. Take a careful look at what online activities can become offline activities. For example, an online game can become in-person with a friend or family member instead. Of course, not everything has to be offline or online all the time. It is good for you to set boundaries (界限) with your friends. If your friend calls you in the middle of the night, or messages you when you are doing your homework, and you don’t see their messages until you are back online. Habits can be hard to break, but we can retrain our brains. Sometimes, just paying attention to the possible influences can help us know when it is time to make some changes. Talk with someone about it. Talking about how you feel with a family member or your friend may help you work out a plan for breaking old habits. They can also encourage you to stick to the plan. 1．You may spend too much time online when you ________. A．take breaks from online games B．keep checking your mobile phone for messages C．take a few photos with your mobile phone D．turn on notifications after you finish your homework 2．The words “keep track of” in Paragraph 3 are closest in meaning to ________.

It is good for you to have conversations with your parents. One of the biggest problems of parent-child communication is generational differences in communication. The newer generations often reach out to others through technology such as text messages, online chats or emails. Although the older generation is catching on, most still prefer a personal conversation or phone call. Consider that your parents’ generation has a stronger need for face-to-face conversation. Take the time to sit down and have a few minutes of conversation with them every day. Meaningful conversations allow you to truly understand one another. If your parents ask about your day, try to say more than a simple “fine” or “okay”. Don’t just talk about the difficult things. Don’t talk to your parents only when you have a problem. Talk to them about your everyday life and funny experiences. Ask them to share how their day goes. Take the time to learn more about your parents. You can start by asking other family members, such as your aunt, uncle and grandparents, for stories of your parents’ past. This knowledge about their history will give you more things to discuss. Be open and honest with your parents. If you make a mistake, you are probably afraid of how your parents will react (反应) when they know it. Bring it up to your parents and they will understand and help you. Bottling up feelings can make the relationship (关系) between you and your parents become worse. 1．Which shows the generational differences in communication? A．The older generation spend more time chatting online. B．It is more common for the newer generation to text messages. C．The newer generation have more face-to-face communication. D．It is more difficult for the older generation to have personal conversations. 2．Paragraph 3 mainly talks about ________. A．when you should talk about difficult things with your parents B．how you can know your parents better C．why you need to communicate more with your parents D．what you can talk about with your parents 3．We can learn from the passage that ________. A．we should answer our parents’ questions with a simple word B．it is better for our parents to learn about other family members C．we need to have meaningful conversations with our parents D．our mistakes make our relationship with our parents worse （23-24八年级下·北京顺义·期末）The Secret of Humans Beating AI “Dear Afu, who is Beyonce?” “Beyonce is an American singer, songwriter, actress, record producer, and dancer, who set a record with 32 Grammy wins…” “Good. Tell me how I can have two girlfriends.” “Are you crazy? If you do that, your secret won’t go undiscovered!” This was a conversation I had in a WeChat group called “Talking with your robot”, an account based on Chat Generative Pretrained Transformer technology. To me, the respondent was no different than a real person. ChatGPT as the new-generation talking AI has impressed global users, me included, ever since it surfaced online on Nov 30th, 2022. The new feature (功能) can answer questions, do translations, summarize essays and even draft codes for a computer program. It is as good as a human living inside a computer. ChatGPT is making life very convenient. A time might come when one hands it content and it produces a well-made PowerPoint presentation. That could, however, mean job losses (失业). After all, if a computer program can write code, then it would make a programmer redundant. That may be a worry, but it is still premature. ChatGPT has more advanced (先进的) learning features, but it still follows the same technological path. Its biggest advantage lies in the ability to carefully examine an ocean of data and rebuild words into a language, but it’s still not that creative. Artificial intelligence (人工智能) can quickly draw a picture, but that picture will be based on pictures it is fed. It can also write science fiction, but based on content about the future that it has read. In comparison (比较), a human brain imagines the future and then puts in efforts to realize it. AI can imagine a future with faster spaceships, but it can’t imagine a world of space elevators as humans can. So, there is no need to worry too much. By being creative there will be plenty of opportunities for humans to score over AI. 1．What’s the purpose of the dialogue in the beginning? A．To introduce the features of ChatGPT. B．To explore the creative abilities of humans. C．To explain how artificial intelligence works. D．To discuss the advantages of having two girlfriends. 2．The word “redundant” in Paragraph 7 probably means “_________”. A．unknown B．advanced C．creative D．unneeded 3．What can we learn from the passage? A．AI can paint whatever you want. B．ChatGPT can create new words by itself. C．AI can try its best to make its dream come true. D．ChatGPT can translate one language into another. 4．Which of the following statements would the writer agree with? A．AI can take the place of humans. B．Humans can beat AI with creativity. C．AI can share its experiences with humans. D．Humans can imagine a world of space elevators as AI. （23-24八年级下·北京顺义·期末）Can plants talk? Modern research has found something amazing: they do communicate with each other. It has been known for some time that plants use chemicals (化学物质) to communicate with each other. This happens when a plant gets attacked (攻击) by insects. The plant gives out chemicals from the leaves that are being eaten. This is like a warning, or a call for help: “I’m being attacked!” When another plant gets the chemicals, it starts to give out its own, different chemicals. Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others attract the wasps (黄蜂)! The wasps kill the insects that are eating the plants. Scientists hope to learn more about this plant warning system, so that we can use it to grow more crops. More surprisingly, plants also use sound to communicate. People can’t hear these sounds, but plants are making them. Some plants make noises with their roots. Corn and chili (辣椒)plants do this. Some trees make clicking noises when there is not enough water. Most surprisingly of all, plants have an amazing system of communication that can link nearly every plant in a forest. Scientists call this system the “wood wide web”. The wood wide web is linked underground by fungi (霉菌). It links the roots of different plants to each other. It is in some ways similar to the Internet we use. Using the wood wide web, plants can share information and even food with each other. However, it may lead to bad effects. Plants may use it to steal food from each other, or spread chemicals to attack other plants. Perhaps one day scientists will learn how to create a “firewall” to help prevent these attacks within the wood wide web. Scientists are learning more every day about the secret ways in which plants talk to each other. Maybe one day we will know enough about plant communication to be able to “talk” with them ourselves. 1．When plants are attacked by insects, they will_________. A．produce chemicals as a warning or a call for help B．send out chemicals to humans to ask for help C．control the wasps to kill the insects D．kill the insects by themselves 2．What’s the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 3．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．How Plants Give Warnings B．The Secret Language of Plants C．Why Scientists Do Research about Plants D．The Study about the Plant Warning System 记叙文阅读体裁训练 （23-24八年级下·北京延庆·期末）Max Parsons is a big fan of Arsenal Football Club. He says that Arsenal is like family to him. However, because of his deafness, he often felt left out. Luckily, things have improved since early 2023. The club now has a British Sign Language interpreter (翻译) to tell deaf fans like him what’s happening and help them enjoy the games. Arsenal is the first Premier League club to do so.

We were very happy.” This happiness didn’t just impact Arsenal’s deaf fans. Parsons said that when the non-deaf people around him saw the interpreter, they were eager to find out what was going on and share the happiness. They thought it was fantastic, and some even started to learn and practice sign language. It was nice to see that. Arsenal’s kind act has won high praise from the public.

It’s not a pretty place. There’s noisy traffic and the nearby buildings are gray and unloved. However, it has a patch (小块地) of beauty—a small garden called Pete’s Patch. Pete is one of the kids who wait here to change buses for nine minutes each day. In the past, it wasn’t a fun or pleasant place. There was nowhere nice to walk and the patch next to the station was littered with trash (垃圾). Pete had no choice because this was the only way. He felt like he was wasting his life away. There was nothing to look at, nothing to keep him busy, and hanging around like that each day drove him mad. He knew he couldn’t do anything to change the bus company’s timetable, but he could make the nine minutes more enjoyable for himself and others. He asked his mom for some trash bags. That week, he filled his nine minutes each day by picking up the trash. On the weekend, he asked his dad to drive down and take the trash bags to the dump (垃圾场). On Monday morning, the patch looked so much cleaner and nicer. Then next week, Pete began to pull weeds (杂草). One of his friends came to help. Soon the patch was looking good, but some dirty words on the walls of the bus station were really making him angry. Pete had an idea. He painted a mural (壁画) to cover the dirty words. When he started to work, more of his school friends joined him each day. Now Pete and his friends are proud of that patch, and they sure aren’t going to let anyone mess it up. They have even planted some fresh flowers. While waiting for their next bus, they walk through the patch and collect trash. One Monday, however, as he rode the bus to school, Pete looked, as usual, toward the patch. To his surprise, there was a sign on it. His friends had painted it.

One day his grandfather said to him, “Mario, I bet you a big bag of popcorn you don’t have as many friends as you think. I’m sure many are nothing more than acquaintance (略有交情，熟人) or partners.” Mario agreed to the bet without a second thought. However, he wasn’t sure how to test who were real friends, so he asked his grandpa. “Take this. It’s an invisible (透明的) ‘chair’. If you take it to school and manage to sit on it, you can tell who your real friends are.” his grandpa said. Mario took the special “chair” to school. At break time he asked everyone to form a circle, and stood in the middle, with his “chair”. Mario tried hard to sit on the “chair”. Having difficulty seeing it, he missed and fell down many times. Everyone had a pretty good laugh. “Wait, wait, just a small problem.” he said. But again he missed the seat, causing more surprised looks. Mario tried many times until, suddenly, he sat in mid-air... Then he finally experienced the magic that his grandfather had been talking about. Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas, and Diana-three of his best friends-holding him up with their strong arms, so he wouldn’t fall. Meanwhile, many others he had thought of as friends had done nothing but making fun of him, enjoying his every fall. And there the show came to an end. Leaving with his three friends, he explained to them the magic “chair” test. And he learned true friends are those who care for us, and not just any acquaintance who happens to be passing by.

Every day they are very busy trying to earn money, In their opinion, “I love you” is too hard for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more impossible. When my father is very tired from the hard work, it is difficult for him to control his bad moods. One day, my mother was sewing a quilt (缝被子). I silently sat down beside her and I asked in a very low voice, “Is there true love between you and dad?” My mother stopped her work and raised her head with surprise in her eyes. However, she didn’t answer at once. She continued to sew the quilt. I was very worried because I thought I had hurt her. I was in a great embarrassment and I didn’t know what I should do. But at last she said thoughtfully, “Susan, look at this thread (线). Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. It really makes the quilt strong. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen, but it’s really there. Love is inside.” I couldn’t understand her until the next spring. My father got sick. After they were back from hospital, my mother helped my father walk slowly for two months. My father had never been so kind. But after two months he still couldn’t walk by himself. We were worried about him. “Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day. “Susan, don’t worry about me,” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I could walk by myself after I was back from hospital, but I just like walking with your mom. I like this kind of life,” Reading his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply. 1．Why does Susan’s father have bad moods? A．Because he doesn’t love the family. B．Because he doesn’t cam much money.

Before and after school each day, he put on his wet suit, picked up his equipment, swam out beyond the surf line and waited to be challenged by his three-to-six-foot friends. One afternoon, the lifeguard reported over the phone to my husband Wilson that Leon’s eye was badly injured (受伤) by his board. Wilson rushed him to the hospital, where he received 26 stitches (缝针) from the corner of his eye to the bridge of his nose. I was on an airplane flying home from a meeting while Leon’s eye was being stitched. Wilson drove directly to the airport after they left doctor’s office. He greeted me at the gate and told me Leon was waiting in the car. “Leon?” I questioned. I remember thinking the waves must have been bad that day. “He’s been in an accident, but he’s going to be fine,” said my husband. A travelling working mother’s worst nightmare (噩梦) had come true. I ran to the car so fast that the heel of my shoe broke off. I swung open the door to see that my youngest son had a patch (眼罩) over his eye and was leaning toward me crying, “Oh, Ma, I’m so glad you’re home.” I cried in his arms, telling him how awful I felt about not being there when the lifeguard called. “It’s okay, Mom,” he comforted me. “You don’t know how to surf anyway.” “What?” I asked, confused by his logic. “I’ll be fine. The doctor says I can go back in the water in eight days,” said my son. I wanted to tell him he wasn’t allowed to go near water again until he was 35, but instead, I bit my tongue and hoped he would forget about surfing. For the next seven days, he kept pressing me to let him surf again. One day after I had repeated “No” to him for the 100th time, he beat me at my own game. “Mom, you taught us never to give up what we love,” he said. And I gave in. Back then, Leon was just a boy with a passion for surfing. Now he’s a man with a passion for surfing. And he’s a man with a responsibility. He is one of the top 25 professional surfers in the world. Passionate people stick to what they love and never give up. 1．What happened to Leon one afternoon while surfing? A．He lost his surfboard. B．He saved another surfer. C．He was injured by his board.

It is common that people always think crying is a sign of sadness. But it is not always the truth. When babies are hungry, they will cry to show their feelings and get tasty food. Then babies feel like being on cloud nine and of course stop crying. We also know that many people may think crying is a bad thing and it may be bad for their health. However, in fact, sometimes it is healthy to have some tears. According to the studies, some health problems have something to do with not crying enough. Sometimes people need to cry more because it helps them to get well. Different cultures have different ideas about crying. The people in Indonesia think that crying—unless done by a person who has lost a close friend—is unhealthy and that it can cause health problems. In some other cultures, people usually cry together when they are afraid of something and in times of sadness. People have been studying crying for a long time and here are two interesting studies about crying. A study of 5,000 people in 35 countries made by Professor Ad Vingerhoets found that women usually cried between 30 and 64 times a year while men usually cried 6 to 17 times a year. Vingerhocts thinks that women’s higher prolactin levels (催乳素水平) may cause women to cry more. Prolactin levels are especially higher when women are having babies. Besides that, according to another study, when 150 women were watching the film Steel Magnolias, scientists found 22 percent of them cried and the others didn’t. Those who cried felt more sadness for a long time. The study said crying can make people sadder, and it took people longer to get well. Crying may make people feel better only if it helps with their problems. Studies show comfort from a friend does make people feel that crying is a good idea. So next time you don’t feel good, you can talk with your friend and cry out to make yourself feel better. Try to have a good cry! 1．The underlined words “feel like being on cloud nine” in Paragraph 1 are closest in meaning to “________.” A．feel very great B．feel quite scared C．feel really thankful D．feel truly tired 2．The people in Indonesia think________.

By 2021, that average had increased to 5 hours and 33 minutes per day. Do kids need help putting their devices down, or can they decide on their own? There are a lot of research studies show that too much screen time can have a negative effect (效果) on people. Therefore, some countries try to make people stay away from devices. People living in a village in India have agreed to turn off their televisions and phones for one and a half hours every evening. A community uses the siren (汽笛) sounds to remind people to turn off the televisions and phones at 19:00. At 20:30, a second siren sound rings to show that screen-free time is over. In this way, people can have screen-free time, which is called a “digital detox”. It is when a person stops using digital devices for a fixed time. Some people say that taking a break from electronic devices is good. Screen-free time allows kids to connect to the outside world and with family and friends. Seeing people face to face helps to cure (治愈) loneliness. Kids can be more active if they are not on their phones or watching TV all the time, which is beneficial (有益的) to health. However, there are people who hold different ideas. Digital devices allow friends and family far away from each other to stay in touch. Besides, screen time can be valuable-kids can read great books, discover interesting facts or learn about important things happening in the world. Is there a way to find a balance between digital devices and our life? I think so. The good way is to cut down kid’s usage of digital devices by setting time limits. What’s more, if parents offer kids activities they find valuable, such as sports and art activities they enjoy, they will be less likely to spend time on social media. Once they become used to these activities, they will feel surprised how little they think about their phone. 1．The underlined phrase “digital detox” in paragraph 2 means “________”. A．the place to reduce the screen time B．the game to turn off the television C．the device to connect with friends D．the time to stop using digital devices 2．What can we learn from the passage? A．Digital devices work as well as face-to-face communication. B．People in India have found a way to shorten the screen time. C．Limiting the usage of the phones can lead to their loneliness.

First, we had blackboards and chalk. Then whiteboards and markers. Now we have interactive (交互的) whiteboards. From big, heavy televisions that were wheeled between classrooms, to flat do-it-all screens. So, what could the school of the future look like? Improved courses Different from the old-school traditions in English, math, social studies and science, we’ll have more meaningful and colorful courses. Instead of limiting students’ choices, teachers can let students choose whatever they like according to their interests and needs for their future career. Schools can create more opportunities for students to get useful skills through real-world practice, like cooking, money management, fixing the computer and gardening. Students will develop their deep thinking, problem-solving and communication skills through these courses. The classroom environment For the school of the future, there will be no need to fight with heavy curtains or dust-covered blinds. And we’ll have smart glass. Windows can change their color to make up for light outside, protecting both our eyes and screens. As summers get hotter and winters become warmer and wetter, air-conditioned classrooms will become common. And they will be cleaner and more environment-friendly, with built-in air cleaners to remove bad stuff and dust from the air. Augmented (增强的) reality and AI Adaptive (适应的) learning systems driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI) have become part of schools by 2050. These systems will give each student a special learning plan based on how they can learn better and will offer leveled tests depending on how the student is doing. AI may be also used to analyse (分析) students’ work, helping teachers understand which students need more help on weak lessons before they fall behind. Students will be able to get teachers’ advice quickly, with what needed to be improved and more personal guidance, fit for a student’s advantages and weaknesses. Undoubtedly, the biggest development we’ve seen in recent years has been in great progress in technology, so we can be quite certain that it has the ability to change schools over the next 20 or 30 years. 1．The writer may advise students to take the courses that ________. A．focus on useful skills B．create the opportunities C．help with classroom environment D．improve their English and science 2．What can we know about future schools according to the passage?

This might have a serious influence on your connections with the people beside you, even if you don’t want to make them feel like you are not interested in them. Take breaks from the apps (应用程序) and games. You don’t need to stop using them, just trying turning off notifications during study hours, or setting time limits.

For example, an online game can become in-person with a friend or family member instead. Of course, not everything has to be offline or online all the time. It is good for you to set boundaries (界限) with your friends. If your friend calls you in the middle of the night, or messages you when you are doing your homework, and you don’t see their messages until you are back online. Habits can be hard to break, but we can retrain our brains. Sometimes, just paying attention to the possible influences can help us know when it is time to make some changes.

It is good for you to have conversations with your parents. One of the biggest problems of parent-child communication is generational differences in communication. The newer generations often reach out to others through technology such as text messages, online chats or emails. Although the older generation is catching on, most still prefer a personal conversation or phone call. Consider that your parents’ generation has a stronger need for face-to-face conversation. Take the time to sit down and have a few minutes of conversation with them every day. Meaningful conversations allow you to truly understand one another. If your parents ask about your day, try to say more than a simple “fine” or “okay”. Don’t just talk about the difficult things. Don’t talk to your parents only when you have a problem. Talk to them about your everyday life and funny experiences. Ask them to share how their day goes. Take the time to learn more about your parents. You can start by asking other family members, such as your aunt, uncle and grandparents, for stories of your parents’ past. This knowledge about their history will give you more things to discuss. Be open and honest with your parents. If you make a mistake, you are probably afraid of how your parents will react (反应) when they know it. Bring it up to your parents and they will understand and help you. Bottling up feelings can make the relationship (关系) between you and your parents become worse. 1．Which shows the generational differences in communication?

Tell me how I can have two girlfriends.” “Are you crazy? If you do that, your secret won’t go undiscovered!” This was a conversation I had in a WeChat group called “Talking with your robot”, an account based on Chat Generative Pretrained Transformer technology. To me, the respondent was no different than a real person. ChatGPT as the new-generation talking AI has impressed global users, me included, ever since it surfaced online on Nov 30th, 2022. The new feature (功能) can answer questions, do translations, summarize essays and even draft codes for a computer program. It is as good as a human living inside a computer. ChatGPT is making life very convenient. A time might come when one hands it content and it produces a well-made PowerPoint presentation. That could, however, mean job losses (失业). After all, if a computer program can write code, then it would make a programmer redundant. That may be a worry, but it is still premature. ChatGPT has more advanced (先进的) learning features, but it still follows the same technological path. Its biggest advantage lies in the ability to carefully examine an ocean of data and rebuild words into a language, but it’s still not that creative. Artificial intelligence (人工智能) can quickly draw a picture, but that picture will be based on pictures it is fed. It can also write science fiction, but based on content about the future that it has read. In comparison (比较), a human brain imagines the future and then puts in efforts to realize it. AI can imagine a future with faster spaceships, but it can’t imagine a world of space elevators as humans can. So, there is no need to worry too much. By being creative there will be plenty of opportunities for humans to score over AI. 1．What’s the purpose of the dialogue in the beginning? A．To introduce the features of ChatGPT. B．To explore the creative abilities of humans. C．To explain how artificial intelligence works. D．To discuss the advantages of having two girlfriends. 2．The word “redundant” in Paragraph 7 probably means “_________”. A．unknown B．advanced C．creative D．unneeded 3．What can we learn from the passage? A．AI can paint whatever you want. B．ChatGPT can create new words by itself. C．AI can try its best to make its dream come true. D．ChatGPT can translate one language into another. 4．Which of the following statements would the writer agree with? A．AI can take the place of humans. B．Humans can beat AI with creativity. C．AI can share its experiences with humans. D．Humans can imagine a world of space elevators as AI. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了聊天机器人ChatGPT。 1．推理判断题。根据文章开头的对话内容及下文描述可知，开头对话旨在介绍ChatGPT的功能，包括回答问题等，故选A。 2．词义猜测题。根据“That could, however, mean job losses (失业).

Modern research has found something amazing: they do communicate with each other. It has been known for some time that plants use chemicals (化学物质) to communicate with each other. This happens when a plant gets attacked (攻击) by insects. The plant gives out chemicals from the leaves that are being eaten. This is like a warning, or a call for help: “I’m being attacked!” When another plant gets the chemicals, it starts to give out its own, different chemicals. Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others attract the wasps (黄蜂)! The wasps kill the insects that are eating the plants. Scientists hope to learn more about this plant warning system, so that we can use it to grow more crops. More surprisingly, plants also use sound to communicate. People can’t hear these sounds, but plants are making them. Some plants make noises with their roots. Corn and chili (辣椒)plants do this. Some trees make clicking noises when there is not enough water. Most surprisingly of all, plants have an amazing system of communication that can link nearly every plant in a forest. Scientists call this system the “wood wide web”. The wood wide web is linked underground by fungi (霉菌). It links the roots of different plants to each other. It is in some ways similar to the Internet we use. Using the wood wide web, plants can share information and even food with each other. However, it may lead to bad effects. Plants may use it to steal food from each other, or spread chemicals to attack other plants. Perhaps one day scientists will learn how to create a “firewall” to help prevent these attacks within the wood wide web. Scientists are learning more every day about the secret ways in which plants talk to each other. Maybe one day we will know enough about plant communication to be able to “talk” with them ourselves. 1．When plants are attacked by insects, they will_________. A．produce chemicals as a warning or a call for help B．send out chemicals to humans to ask for help C．control the wasps to kill the insects D．kill the insects by themselves 2．What’s the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 3．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．How Plants Give Warnings B．The Secret Language of Plants C．Why Scientists Do Research about Plants D．The Study about the Plant Warning System 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了植物之间的交流方式。 1．细节理解题。根据文中第二段中“This happens when a plant gets attacked by insects. The plant gives out chemicals from the leaves that are being eaten. This is like a warning, or a call for help: ‘I’m being attacked!’ ”可知，当植物受到昆虫攻击时，它们会产生化学物质作为警告或求助信号。故选A。 2．篇章结构题。根据文中“Can plants talk? Modern research has found something amazing: they do communicate with each other.”可知，第一段总领全文，引出下文介绍的植物之间的相互交流。文章中的第二、三、四段详细介绍了植物之间的交流方式。文章的最后一段总结上文，并给了人们进一步研究的希望。选项B符合文章结构。故选B。 3．最佳标题题。根据文中“Can plants talk?

It’s not a pretty place. There’s noisy traffic and the nearby buildings are gray and unloved. However, it has a patch (小块地) of beauty—a small garden called Pete’s Patch. Pete is one of the kids who wait here to change buses for nine minutes each day. In the past, it wasn’t a fun or pleasant place. There was nowhere nice to walk and the patch next to the station was littered with trash (垃圾). Pete had no choice because this was the only way. He felt like he was wasting his life away. There was nothing to look at, nothing to keep him busy, and hanging around like that each day drove him mad. He knew he couldn’t do anything to change the bus company’s timetable, but he could make the nine minutes more enjoyable for himself and others. He asked his mom for some trash bags. That week, he filled his nine minutes each day by picking up the trash. On the weekend, he asked his dad to drive down and take the trash bags to the dump (垃圾场). On Monday morning, the patch looked so much cleaner and nicer. Then next week, Pete began to pull weeds (杂草). One of his friends came to help. Soon the patch was looking good, but some dirty words on the walls of the bus station were really making him angry. Pete had an idea. He painted a mural (壁画) to cover the dirty words. When he started to work, more of his school friends joined him each day. Now Pete and his friends are proud of that patch, and they sure aren’t going to let anyone mess it up. They have even planted some fresh flowers. While waiting for their next bus, they walk through the patch and collect trash. One Monday, however, as he rode the bus to school, Pete looked, as usual, toward the patch. To his surprise, there was a sign on it. His friends had painted it.

One day his grandfather said to him, “Mario, I bet you a big bag of popcorn you don’t have as many friends as you think. I’m sure many are nothing more than acquaintance (略有交情，熟人) or partners.” Mario agreed to the bet without a second thought. However, he wasn’t sure how to test who were real friends, so he asked his grandpa. “Take this. It’s an invisible (透明的) ‘chair’. If you take it to school and manage to sit on it, you can tell who your real friends are.” his grandpa said. Mario took the special “chair” to school. At break time he asked everyone to form a circle, and stood in the middle, with his “chair”. Mario tried hard to sit on the “chair”. Having difficulty seeing it, he missed and fell down many times. Everyone had a pretty good laugh. “Wait, wait, just a small problem.” he said. But again he missed the seat, causing more surprised looks. Mario tried many times until, suddenly, he sat in mid-air... Then he finally experienced the magic that his grandfather had been talking about. Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas, and Diana-three of his best friends-holding him up with their strong arms, so he wouldn’t fall. Meanwhile, many others he had thought of as friends had done nothing but making fun of him, enjoying his every fall. And there the show came to an end.

Before and after school each day, he put on his wet suit, picked up his equipment, swam out beyond the surf line and waited to be challenged by his three-to-six-foot friends. One afternoon, the lifeguard reported over the phone to my husband Wilson that Leon’s eye was badly injured (受伤) by his board. Wilson rushed him to the hospital, where he received 26 stitches (缝针) from the corner of his eye to the bridge of his nose. I was on an airplane flying home from a meeting while Leon’s eye was being stitched. Wilson drove directly to the airport after they left doctor’s office. He greeted me at the gate and told me Leon was waiting in the car. “Leon?” I questioned. I remember thinking the waves must have been bad that day. “He’s been in an accident, but he’s going to be fine,” said my husband. A travelling working mother’s worst nightmare (噩梦) had come true. I ran to the car so fast that the heel of my shoe broke off. I swung open the door to see that my youngest son had a patch (眼罩) over his eye and was leaning toward me crying, “Oh, Ma, I’m so glad you’re home.” I cried in his arms, telling him how awful I felt about not being there when the lifeguard called. “It’s okay, Mom,” he comforted me. “You don’t know how to surf anyway.” “What?” I asked, confused by his logic. “I’ll be fine. The doctor says I can go back in the water in eight days,” said my son. I wanted to tell him he wasn’t allowed to go near water again until he was 35, but instead, I bit my tongue and hoped he would forget about surfing. For the next seven days, he kept pressing me to let him surf again. One day after I had repeated “No” to him for the 100th time, he beat me at my own game. “Mom, you taught us never to give up what we love,” he said. And I gave in. Back then, Leon was just a boy with a passion for surfing. Now he’s a man with a passion for surfing. And he’s a man with a responsibility. He is one of the top 25 professional surfers in the world.
