Born in Ayrshire, in 1759 to William Burness, a poor farmer, Robert Burns was the eldest of seven children. He spent his youth working on his father’s farm, but in spite of being poor he also read a lot. His father employed a teacher for Robert and his younger brother Gilbert. At l5 Robert was the principal worker on the farm and this encouraged him to start writing. It was at this age that Robert wrote his first poem Handsome Nell.
When his father died in 1784, Robert and his brother became partners on the farm. However, Robert was more interested in the romantic nature of poetry than the hard work of farming.
However, at the point of giving up farming, his first collection Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect was published and received much praise from critics. This, together with pride of being a parent, made him stay in Scotland. He moved around the country, finally arriving in Edinburgh, where he joined the circles of the artists and writers who were called the “Ploughman Poet”.
In a matter of weeks he was changed from a local hero to a national celebrity (名人). The fame did not bring a fortune and he took up a job to make additions to the low income. While working he continued to write, contributing songs to the likes of James Johnson’s Scots Musical Museum and George Thomson’s A Select Collection of Original Scottish Airs for the voice. In all, more than 400 of Robert’s songs are still in existence.
The last years of Robert’s life were devoted to writing great poetic masterpieces such as The Lea Rig, Tam o’Shanter and A Red, Red Rose. At the age of 37, he died of heart disease caused by the hard physical work he did when he was young.
On the day of his burial tens of thousands of people came to watch and pay their respect. However, his popularity then was nothing compared to the heights it has reached since. On the anniversary (周年纪念) of his birth, Scots both at home and abroad celebrate Robert Burns with a supper — a celebration which would undoubtedly make him proud.

Artificial intelligence is making its way into classrooms suggesting a future where education is more personalized and active. AI’s ability to customize learning and provide immediate feedback could change how students learn, making education more effective and attracting.
Schools globally are starting to see the benefits of AI. For example, adaptive learning platforms can now tailor lessons to each student’s pace and style of learning, improving engagement and understanding. DreamBox Learning, an AI-powered math platform, has already showed how such technology can improve students’ abilities in problem solving.
However, there’s a notable concern raised alongside these advancements —the AI divide, or the growing gap between those who have access to advanced AI tools and those who do not. A 2023 report by the Educational Data Trust found that wealthier school districts are three times more likely to have adopted AI-powered learning platforms compared to the under-resourced districts. We don’t know what this technology will look like 10 years from now, but the current trend shuts out poor districts. It’s in the big dog’s best interest to do so, but it sucks anyways.
Addressing the AI divide requires a concerted effort. Policymakers have the power to level the playing field by supporting AI accessibility in all schools. Schools and educators have a role to play too. They must train their students to use AI as a tool. They can foster partnerships to share AI resources and focus on building universally essential skills like critical thinking and digital literacy. Tech companies and community groups have roles to play as well, such as offering AI expertise and support to schools lacking resources.
AI in education has both advantages and disadvantages, with the promise of transformative(带来变革的)learning coming alongside the risk of deepening divides. As we accept AI’s potential, we must also make sure that it serves as a tool for to help everyone, paving the way for a future where every student has the opportunity to succeed.
8. Why does the author mention “DreamBox Learning” in paragraph 2?
A. To show the advantages of AI.
B. To introduce an AI-powered social media platform.
C. To help students to solve math problems.
D. To improve students’ abilities in problem solving.
9 What is the author’s attitude towards AI in education?
A. Supportive. B. Disappointed. C. Objective. D. Critical.
10. What does the underlined word “concerted” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A Tough. B. Joint. C. Limited. D. Brief.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. AI in Education—A Double-edged Sword
B. AI in Education—A Great Success
C. AI in Media Platform—An Advanced Tool
D AI in Classroom—A Replacement for the Teacher

The store is three miles from my house. Right when I was about to turn on the road, my car said overheating, my engine locked up and the car shut off. My husband and I got out of the car, trying to push the car into a nearby repair shop. But it was too hard for us to push the car.
At first three different people asked us if we were okay and when we said no, they just drove off. It was like they just wanted to know if we needed help but not actually help.
Finally, a man calling himself David stopped his car and helped us push our car into the nearby repair shop. And then he asked if we were going to the store because he had to go into the store and at least inside we could get warm. We agreed, because we were going to the store, and so he took us to the store.
When we got inside the store, I realized this man was walking with a stick but it didn’t stop him from offering to help strangers, like us, trying to push a car through snow. We were so moved by his kind act that we helped him with his shopping, considering that he was disabled. We also bought what we needed. After that, we went to the checkouts together, and I paid the bill for David. He was very thankful. David knew that our car broke down and that we couldn’t drive, so he offered to drive us home. Soon, we arrived at our house. We thanked David again. Then he drove away.

Artificial intelligence is making its way into classrooms, suggesting a future where education is more personalized and active. AI’s ability to customize learning and provide immediate feedback could change how students learn, making education more effective and attracting.
Schools globally are starting to see the benefits of AI. For example, adaptive learning platforms can now tailor lessons to each student’s pace and style of learning, improving engagement and understanding. DreamBox Learning, an AI-powered math platform, has already showed how such technology can improve students’ abilities in problem solving.
However, there’s a notable concern raised alongside these advancements —the AI divide, or the growing gap between those who have access to advanced AI tools and those who do not. A 2023 report by the Educational Data Trust found that wealthier school districts are three times more likely to have adopted AI-powered learning platforms compared to the under-resourced districts. We don’t know what this technology will look like 10 years from now, but the current trend shuts out poor districts. It’s in the big dog’s best interest to do so, but it sucks anyways.
Addressing the AI divide requires a concerted effort. Policymakers have the power to level the playing field by supporting AI accessibility in all schools. Schools and educators have a role to play too. They must train their students to use AI as a tool. They can foster partnerships to share AI resources and focus on building universally essential skills like critical thinking and digital literacy. Tech companies and community groups have roles to play as well, such as offering AI expertise and support to schools lacking resources.
AI in education has both advantages and disadvantages, with the promise of transformative(带来变革的)learning coming alongside the risk of deepening divides. As we accept AI’s potential, we must also make sure that it serves as a tool for to help everyone, paving the way for a future where every student has the opportunity to succeed.
8. Why does the author mention “DreamBox Learning” in paragraph 2?
A. To show the advantages of AI.
B. To introduce an AI-powered social media platform.
C. To help students to solve math problems.
D. To improve students’ abilities in problem solving.
9. What is the author’s attitude towards AI in education?
A. Supportive. B. Disappointed. C. Objective. D. Critical.
10. What does the underlined word “concerted” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Tough. B. Joint. C. Limited. D. Brief.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. AI in Education—A Double-edged Sword
B. AI in Education—A Great Success
C. AI in Media Platform—An Advanced Tool
D. AI in Classroom—A Replacement for the Teacher
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文的体裁是议论文。文章探讨了人工智能在教育领域的应用,指出其能定制学习、提供即时反馈,使教育更个性化和有效。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“For example, adaptive learning platforms can now tailor lessons to each student’s pace and style of learning, improving engagement and understanding. DreamBox Learning, an AI-powered math platform, has already showed how such technology can improve students’ abilities in problem solving.(例如,适应性学习平台现在可以根据每个学生的学习速度和风格定制课程,从而提高参与度和理解力。DreamBox Learning是一个人工智能数学平台,它已经展示了这种技术如何提高学生解决问题的能力)”可知,作者提到DreamBox Learning是为了通过举例的方式来展示人工智能在教育中的优势,故选A项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据前文内容和最后一段“AI in education has both advantages and disadvantages, with the promise of transformative (带来变革的) learning coming alongside the risk of deepening divides.

【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段“Addressing the AI divide requires a… effort. Policymakers have the power to level the playing field by supporting AI accessibility in all schools. Schools and educators have a role to play too(解决 AI 鸿沟需要……努力。政策制定者有权通过支持所有学校使用人工智能来创造公平的竞争环境。学校和教育工作者也发挥着作用) ”可知解决 AI 鸿沟需要需要政策制定者、学校和教育工作者多方共同努力,可推知concerted意为“联合的,共同的”,与“joint”意思相近,故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“AI’s ability to customize learning and provide immediate feedback could change how students learn, making education more effective and attracting(人工智能的定制化学习和即时反馈能力可能会改变学生的学习方式,使教育更有效并吸引更多学生)”、第二段“Schools globally are starting to see the benefits of AI. For example, adaptive learning platforms can now tailor lessons to each student’s pace and style of learning, improving engagement and understanding.( 全球的学校开始看到人工智能的好处。例如,自适应学习平台现在可以根据每个学生的学习速度和风格来定制课程,提高参与度和理解力)”以及第三段“However, there’s a notable concern raised alongside these advancements —the AI divide, or the growing gap between those who have access to advanced AI tools and those who do not.( 然而,随着这些进步,人们提出了一个值得注意的问题——AI鸿沟,即那些能够使用先进AI工具的人和那些无法使用的人之间的差距正在扩大)”可知,文章探讨了人工智能在教育中的应用,提到了其带来的好处,如个性化学习、提高学习效果等,同时也指出了存在的问题,如造成地区之间的差距。所以文章的最佳标题是“AI in Education—A Double-edged Sword (教育中的人工智能——一把双刃剑) ”,故选A项。

【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:属于我祖父的那所老房子仍然处于良好状态。句子谓语动词是系动词was,空格处填入非谓语动词,The old house和belong to之间是主动关系,用现在分词短语作后置定语修饰The old house。故填belonging。
48. Occupied with ________ (多种多样的) research projects all day, he was tired out. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】various
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意:他整天忙于各种研究项目,累坏了。根据汉语提示和空格后的名词短语research projects可知,空格处应该用形容词various作定语,修饰后面的名词短语。故填various。
49. Some workers are _________ (legal) employed, but some are not. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】legally
【解析】
【详解】考查副词。句意:有些工人是合法受雇的,有些则不是。空格处修饰下文的动词employed作状语,应该用副词legally。故填legally。
50. Together, ________ (个人) can make a difference. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】individuals
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意:共同努力,个人才能有所作为。根据中文提示“个人”可知,空格处应该用名词为individual(单数)或individuals(复数)作主语。句子中Together暗示多个人的共同行动,因此需用复数形式 individuals,表示“每个个体联合起来”。故填individuals。
51. The best approach to ________ (explore) the puzzle is to keep your eyes open. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】exploring
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:探索谜题的最佳方法是睁大眼睛。作介词的宾语,explore应用动名词形式。故填exploring。
52. There we can get our car battery _________ (charge). (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】charged
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:在那里我们可以给汽车电池充电。短语:get sth. done“使……被……”,your battery和charge之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词charged作宾语补足语,故填charged。
53. ______ (satisfy) with the efforts that the students made, all the teachers nodded and smiled. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】Satisfied
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意:对学生们所做出的努力感到满意,所有的老师都点头微笑。 所给词是动词satisfy,意为“使满意”; 此处需要一个形容词作状语,表示“感到满意的”,修饰主语all the teachers的感受; 修饰人,用ed结尾的形容词,即satisfied,常用于结构(be) satisfied with...“对……感到满意”,形容词作状语。句首单词,首字母大写。故填Satisfied。
54. Every year our school _________ (award) scholarships to the excellent students. (所给词适当形式填空)
【答案】awards
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:每年我们学校都会给优秀学生颁发奖学金。此处为动词作谓语,根据时间状语“Every year”可知,句子描述习惯性动作,应用一般现在时;主语“our school”为单数,谓语动词award应用第三人称单数形式。故填awards。
55. His good ______ (perform) in school does credit to his mother. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】performance
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意:他在学校的良好表现为他的母亲赢得了荣誉。此处应用名词performance作主语,表示“表现”,不可数,故填performance。
56. I’ve fallen in love _________ English songs because they help me learn vocabulary. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】with
【解析】
【详解】考查介词。句意:我爱上了英文歌曲,因为它们帮助我学习词汇。fall in love with是固定短语,意为“爱上”,因此空格处用介词with,故填with。

第二节 读后续写(满分 20 分)
58. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Last night, I was trying to go to a store to buy a couple bottles of water and some food because the weather report said it was supposed to snow more heavily than the last time. I had to prepare some necessities for daily use in advance.
The store is three miles from my house. Right when I was about to turn on the road, my car said overheating, my engine locked up and the car shut off. My husband and I got out of the car, trying to push the car into a nearby repair shop. But it was too hard for us to push the car.
At first three different people asked us if we were okay and when we said no, they just drove off. It was like they just wanted to know if we needed help but not actually help.
Finally, a man calling himself David stopped his car and helped us push our car into the nearby repair shop. And then he asked if we were going to the store because he had to go into the store and at least inside we could get warm. We agreed, because we were going to the store, and so he took us to the store.
When we got inside the store, I realized this man was walking with a stick but it didn’t stop him from offering to help strangers, like us, trying to push a car through snow. We were so moved by his kind act that we helped him with his shopping, considering that he was disabled. We also bought what we needed. After that, we went to the checkouts together, and I paid the bill for David. He was very thankful. David knew that our car broke down and that we couldn’t drive, so he offered to drive us home. Soon, we arrived at our house. We thanked David again. Then he drove away.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;

When I wanted to check the bill, I realized I had left my wallet in David’s car.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next morning, I heard a knock on our door.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
When I wanted to check the bill, I realized I had left my wallet in David’s car. I burst into tears at the thought of so many important documents in my wallet. Worse still, I didn’t have David’s contact information. My husband and children were also very worried, and they suggested that I turn to the Internet for help. But I didn’t think it was going to work. I thought the only solution was to re-apply for various documents, such as bank cards, ID cards and so on. But I wanted to wait. I was hoping for a wonder.
The next morning, I heard a knock on our door. I hurried to open the door. To my great joy, there stood David, with my wallet in his hand. When he handed it to me, tears welled up in my eyes. I invited him in. He explained that when he got home, he found my wallet. He didn’t have my phone number, so he came to send it to me in person. I treated him to a big meal and we have become good friends ever since. That day, I realized there are always people who decide to help someone out, just like David did for us.
