When 14-year-old Clara opened the dusty box in her grandmother’s room, a cracked violin lay inside. Two strings were missing, and the wood had faded, but it still looked elegant. Though her parents often said, “Focus on math and science, not daydreams,” she felt a connection to the instrument. Each night after homework, she secretly cleaned it with a piece of cloth.
At school, Clara borrowed library books on violin repair. She learned to replace strings using spare parts from broken guitars. When she needed better tools, she offered to do the cleaning at Mr. Thompson’s music shop every Tuesday. Finally, the violin came back to life. The kind owner taught her how to maintain the violin and how to play it. For months, her fingertips hardened from pressing the strings. Her progress was slow but continuous. Still, she didn’t tell her parents about her secret practice.
The turning point came on a rainy April evening. Hearing a beautiful folk tune coming out of her room repeatedly, her mother stopped outside her door. “Why not join the community concert?” she suggested hesitantly. Clara’s heart raced — she got support. On the performance day, her father joked backstage, “Play loud enough for Grandma to hear,” hiding his nerves.
Clara’s performance of Amazing Grace began shakily, but as memories of her restoration efforts and Mr. Thompson’s patience surfaced, she became more confident and played the tune more skillfully. Midway, she noticed her grandmother wiping tears, and her parents holding hands. The applause sounded like summer thunder.
Now, the repaired violin has above Clara’s desk. Her parents still remind her to study, but they also save concert notices from newspapers. “Maybe music and math aren’t so different.” her father joked recently. “Both need practice and heart.”
4. Why did Clara hide her violin practice at first?
A. She feared damaging the instrument. B. She lacked proper training resources.
C. Her parents valued study over music. D. Her grandmother disliked loud sounds.
5. When did Clara’s family begin to change their attitude?
A. After she replaced the strings. B. After her dad joked backstage.
C. After her mom heard her practice. D. After she performed in the concert.
6. What did the audience think of Clara’s performance?
A. Shaky. B. Impressive. C. Sad. D. Imaginative.
7. What does the story mainly tell us?
A. Music wins. B. Talent wins. C. Memory lasts. D. Effort counts.
C
Sustainability is no longer a trend—it’s a necessity. As consumers get more eco-conscious, the beverage (饮料) industry is under pressure to reduce its carbon footprint. Among all drinks, tea is the one that leads the way in sustainability. This ancient drink has an eco-friendly consumption model, from sustainable packaging to minimal processing.
Sustainable packaging is becoming a big focus in the tea industry. Companies are moving away from traditional plastic-linked tea bags to designing products that break down into harmless natural materials. Some brands are using plant-based wrappers and填补 tins to reduce waste. Loose leaf tea is one of the best ways to reduce packaging waste as it removes the need for individually wrapped tea bags.
Water shortage in agriculture is a growing issue, so how to conserve water is key in tea farming. Tea plants are more water-efficient than coffee, which requires lots of irrigation (灌溉). Many tea farms gather rainwater to reduce dependence on fresh water. Some tea herbs like rooibos and chamomile grow in dry conditions and require minimal irrigation, so they are super eco-friendly. In short, choosing tea over other drinks helps with global water conservation.
Moreover, tea is lightweight, so transporting it has a lower environmental impact than heavy bottled drinks. Apart from that, many tea varieties can be sun dried or minimally processed, reducing carbon emissions.
Supporting sustainable brands encourages the industry to adopt greener practices. But for ordinary people, choosing tea over other drinks may seem to have a more lasting impact. Whether you enjoy green tea, black tea or refreshing iced blends, your choice makes a difference. Tea is more than just a drink—it’s a step toward a healthier planet.
8. What major change have tea companies made in packaging?
A. Focusing on sustainable design. B. Turning to advanced materials.
C Increasing plastic-linked packaging. D. Using individually wrapped bags.
9. How does the tea industry contribute to water conservation?
A. Tea herbs require more water for growing.
B. Tea plants absorb rainwater less efficiently.
C. Tea companies introduce eco-friendly equipment.
D. Tea farms depend on recycled water for irrigation.
10. What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph?
A. To support sustainable tea brands.
B. To encourage a tea-drinking lifestyle.
C. To analyze the impact of choosing tea.
D. To praise green practices in tea farming.
11. Where is the text most probably taken from?
A. A scientific report. B. An environmental blog.
C. A tea-making magazine. D. An agricultural guidebook.
D
Limited by fixed schedules and the same materials, traditional classrooms often struggle to address individual learning styles and frequently fail to satisfy different needs for learning. Now, educational tools powered by AI help analyze students’ strengths and weaknesses in real time, enabling educators to offer more personalized guidance.
A 2023 UNESCO report revealed that schools adopting AI instructors saw a 34% improvement in math scores globally, signaling the possibility of the technology to bridge educational gaps and offer better learning resources. Initial research in the countryside of India showed a 40% reduction in dropout rates, with teachers reporting improved ability to address individual struggles.
Researchers at Stanford University worked on a project and developed an AI system that tracks eye movements and response time during online learning. By studying data from 50,000 students, the AI system identifies the confusion invisible to human teachers. For instance, it discovers students’ brief hesitation in solving equations (方程), and offers targeted instruction. “It’s not about replacing teachers but giving them superhuman insight,” said the project leader, Dr. Emily Zhou.
Meanwhile, a 2024 Cambridge study explored generative (生成的) AI’s role in lesson planning. Teachers input teaching goals, and the AI produces content — calibrating vocabulary for non-native speakers or creating personalized physics exercises. In a survey, 78% of educators reported saving five or more hours weekly. However, 62% expressed concerns about overdependence on AI-generated materials that lack sensitivity culturally. Researchers are now training models to recognize regional languages and traditions, aiming to balance educational gaps within different cultures.
Experts predict AI could complete 30% of administrative (行政的) tasks by 2026, freeing teachers for teaching and guiding students. Challenges include data privacy and equal access to technology. As Dr. Zhou noted, “The goal isn’t perfect algorithms (算法) or replacing humans but improving human potential through thoughtful tech partnerships.”
12. What was a key-finding of the Stanford University study?
A. AI could track students’ response time. B. AI could reduce students’ dropout rates.
C. AI could recognize students’ confusion. D. AI could improve students’ math scores.
13. What does the underlined word “calibrating” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Adjusting accurately. B. Selecting accidentally.
C. Replacing completely. D. Memorizing carefully.
14. Why are many people worried about AI-generated materials?
A. They lack true emotions. B. They rely on former models.
C. They contain regional dialects. D. They ignore cultural differences.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Development of AI Technology B. The Risks of AI in Modern Education
C. What Challenges AI Brings to Humans D. How AI Changes Teaching and Learning

When 14-year-old Clara opened the dusty box in her grandmother’s room, a cracked violin lay inside. Two strings were missing, and the wood had faded, but it still looked elegant. Though her parents often said, “Focus on math and science, not daydreams,” she felt a connection to the instrument. Each night after homework, she secretly cleaned it with a piece of cloth.
At school, Clara borrowed library books on violin repair. She learned to replace strings using spare parts from broken guitars. When she needed better tools, she offered to do the cleaning at Mr. Thompson’s music shop every Tuesday. Finally, the violin came back to life. The kind owner taught her how to maintain the violin and how to play it. For months, her fingertips hardened from pressing the strings. Her progress was slow but continuous. Still, she didn’t tell her parents about her secret practice.
The turning point came on a rainy April evening. Hearing a beautiful folk tune coming out of her room repeatedly, her mother stopped outside her door. “Why not join the community concert?” she suggested hesitantly. Clara’s heart raced — she got support. On the performance day, her father joked backstage, “Play loud enough for Grandma to hear,” hiding his nerves.
Clara’s performance of Amazing Grace began shakily, but as memories of her restoration efforts and Mr. Thompson’s patience surfaced, she became more confident and played the tune more skillfully. Midway, she noticed her grandmother wiping tears, and her parents holding hands. The applause sounded like summer thunder.
Now, the repaired violin has above Clara’s desk. Her parents still remind her to study, but they also save concert notices from newspapers. “Maybe music and math aren’t so different.” her father joked recently. “Both need practice and heart.”
4. Why did Clara hide her violin practice at first?
A She feared damaging the instrument. B. She lacked proper training resources.
C. Her parents valued study over music. D. Her grandmother disliked loud sounds.
5. When did Clara’s family begin to change their attitude?
A. After she replaced the strings. B. After her dad joked backstage.
C. After her mom heard her practice. D. After she performed in the concert.
6. What did the audience think of Clara’s performance?
A. Shaky. B. Impressive. C. Sad. D. Imaginative.
7. What does the story mainly tell us?
A Music wins. B. Talent wins. C. Memory lasts. D. Effort counts.

Sustainability is no longer a trend—it’s a necessity. As consumers get more eco-conscious, the beverage (饮料) industry is under pressure to reduce its carbon footprint. Among all drinks, tea is the one that leads the way in sustainability. This ancient drink has an eco-friendly consumption model, from sustainable packaging to minimal processing.
Sustainable packaging is becoming a big focus in the tea industry. Companies are moving away from traditional plastic-linked tea bags to designing products that break down into harmless natural materials. Some brands are using plant-based wrappers and填补 tins to reduce waste. Loose leaf tea is one of the best ways to reduce packaging waste as it removes the need for individually wrapped tea bags.
Water shortage in agriculture is a growing issue, so how to conserve water is key in tea farming. Tea plants are more water-efficient than coffee, which requires lots of irrigation (灌溉). Many tea farms gather rainwater to reduce dependence on fresh water. Some tea herbs like rooibos and chamomile grow in dry conditions and require minimal irrigation, so they are super eco-friendly. In short, choosing tea over other drinks helps with global water conservation.
Moreover, tea is lightweight, so transporting it has a lower environmental impact than heavy bottled drinks. Apart from that, many tea varieties can be sun dried or minimally processed, reducing carbon emissions.
Supporting sustainable brands encourages the industry to adopt greener practices. But for ordinary people, choosing tea over other drinks may seem to have a more lasting impact. Whether you enjoy green tea, black tea or refreshing iced blends, your choice makes a difference. Tea is more than just a drink—it’s a step toward a healthier planet.
8. What major change have tea companies made in packaging?
A. Focusing on sustainable design. B. Turning to advanced materials.
C. Increasing plastic-linked packaging. D. Using individually wrapped bags.
9. How does the tea industry contribute to water conservation?
A. Tea herbs require more water for growing.
B. Tea plants absorb rainwater less efficiently.
C. Tea companies introduce eco-friendly equipment.
D. Tea farms depend on recycled water for irrigation.
10. What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph?
A. To support sustainable tea brands.
B. To encourage a tea-drinking lifestyle.
C. To analyze the impact of choosing tea.
D. To praise green practices in tea farming.
11. Where is the text most probably taken from?

Limited by fixed schedules and the same materials, traditional classrooms often struggle to address individual learning styles and frequently fail to satisfy different needs for learning. Now, educational tools powered by AI help analyze students’ strengths and weaknesses in real time, enabling educators to offer more personalized guidance.
A 2023 UNESCO report revealed that schools adopting AI instructors saw a 34% improvement in math scores globally signaling the possibility of the technology to bridge educational gaps and offer better learning resources. Initial research in the countryside of India showed a 40% reduction in dropout rates, with teachers reporting improved ability to address individual struggles.
Researchers at Stanford University worked on a project and developed an AI system that tracks eye movements and response time during online learning. By studying data from 50,000 students, the AI system identifies the confusion invisible to human teachers. For instance, it discovers students’ brief hesitation in solving equations (方程), and offers targeted instruction. “It’s not about replacing teachers but giving them superhuman insight,” said the project leader, Dr. Emily Zhou.
Meanwhile, a 2024 Cambridge study explored generative (生成的) AI’s role in lesson planning. Teachers input teaching goals, and the AI produces content — calibrating vocabulary for non-native speakers or creating personalized physics exercises. In a survey, 78% of educators reported saving five or more hours weekly. However, 62% expressed concerns about overdependence on AI-generated materials that lack sensitivity culturally. Researchers are now training models to recognize regional languages and traditions, aiming to balance educational gaps within different cultures.
Experts predict AI could complete 30% of administrative (行政的) tasks by 2026, freeing teachers for teaching and guiding students. Challenges include data privacy and equal access to technology. As Dr. Zhou noted, “The goal isn’t perfect algorithms (算法) or replacing humans but improving human potential through thoughtful tech partnerships.”
12. What was a key-finding of the Stanford University study?
A. AI could track students’ response time. B. AI could reduce students’ dropout rates.
C. AI could recognize students’ confusion. D. AI could improve students’ math scores.
13. What does the underlined word “calibrating” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Adjusting accurately. B. Selecting accidentally.
C. Replacing completely. D. Memorizing carefully.
14. Why are many people worried about AI-generated materials?
A. They lack true emotions. B. They rely on former models.
C. They contain regional dialects. D. They ignore cultural differences.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Development of AI Technology B. The Risks of AI in Modern Education
C. What Challenges AI Brings to Humans D. How AI Changes Teaching and Learning
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了人工智能如何改变教学与学习。

【20题详解】
根据后文“Experiencing such embarrassing moments helps you learn so much about the world. Don’t let the fear of embarrassment stop you from doing something important, especially on health and safety.(经历这样的尴尬时刻能让你对这个世界有更深入的了解。不要因为害怕尴尬而放弃去做重要的事情,尤其是在健康和安全方面)”可知,后文提到尴尬时刻助人成长,本句与之呼应,强调其积极意义。故A选项“经历尴尬是成长过程中的正常现象”符合语境,故选A。

【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意:在位于四川省崇州市的白熊盆景园内,46岁的辛克莱在宁静的环境中全神贯注地照料着几十盆盆景树。此处修饰名词surroundings,应用形容词peaceful,意为“宁静的,平静的”。故填peaceful。
【37题详解】
考查反身代词。句意:他在中国生活了20多年,称自己为“成都老居民”。describe oneself as...为固定搭配,意为“把自己描述为……”,主语是He,所以此处用反身代词himself。故填himself。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意:他对中国盆景的兴趣可以追溯到1986年,当时他和祖母一起参观了世界博览会。pay a visit to...为固定短语,意为“参观……”,所以此处填介词to。故填to。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在温哥华举行的展览期间,他们在中国馆停留,在那里辛克莱被古老而奇妙的中国文化所吸引,包括太极和盆景。分析句子结构可知,此处为非谓语动词作后置定语,修饰exhibition,hold与exhibition之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词held。故填held。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:在温哥华举行的展览期间,他们在中国馆停留,在那里辛克莱被古老而奇妙的中国文化所吸引,包括太极和盆景。此处为关系词引导的定语从句,先行词为place,在从句中作地点状语,所以用关系副词where。故填where。
41题详解】
考查冠词。句意:对我来说,四川盆景是最独特的盆景风格。根据most unique可知,此处是形容词的最高级形式,最高级前要加定冠词the。故填the。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这也像坐过山车,充满乐趣。be like doing sth.为固定搭配,意为“像做某事”,所以此处用动名词riding。故填riding。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:为了更深入地探索盆景艺术,辛克莱和他的妻子在崇州租了一个传统的小院子,崇州是传统四川盆景的发源地之一,并将其命名为“白熊盆景园”。此处为非谓语动词作目的状语,所以用动词不定式To explore,句首单词首字母大写。故填To explore。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:经过多年的研究,他逐渐形成了自己的盆景风格。此处修饰动词developed,应用副词gradually,意为“逐渐地”。故填gradually。
【45题详解】
考查动词语态和时态。句意:到目前为止,这位成都著名的盆景艺术家已经完成了500多件盆景作品。根据时间状语So far可知,此处应用现在完成时,主语over 500 bonsai pieces与complete之间是被动关系,所以用现在完成时的被动语态,其结构为“have/has been +过去分词”,主语是复数,所以用have been completed。故填have been completed。

My family just moved here from St. Louis. It was my first day at a new high school and the very day of soccer tryouts (选拔赛). Soccer is my life, played soccer, went to soccer games, and watched soccer on television with Mom and Dad. They even got me a magazine about soccer.
We left very early in the morning, planning to be at our new home before classes began. If everything had gone perfectly, there would have been time for me to find my new classes, meet people, and even warm up before the tryouts.
However, while we were driving to my new home, our car suddenly stopped working on the highway under the hot sun. We waited anxiously for two hours for a rescue, only to spend another two hours arranging for a rental car. The whole time, my heart was pounding with worry, afraid that I would miss the tryouts.
Finally, we arrived at the new school. The moment I got out of the cat, I rushed towards the headmaster’s office to report, out of breath. “Oh, Tina I think you’re too late for the tryouts. Coach Turner said they’d end at 3 pm,” said Headmaster Morgan. She glanced up at the clock and shook her head, “They’re almost finished.” Feeling defeated, I bit my lower lip and held back tears. All of a sudden, I saw the latest soccer magazine in my backpack. At that moment, my favorite words from the magazine rang in my head good player never gives up, even when the game seems lost.”

【答案】One possible version:
“I m so sorry, but our car broke down”, I explained to the headmaster. I know I’m late, but I’ve been playing soccer my whole life. “This means everything to me. Please give me a chance to show what I can do.” I stared at the headmaster and begged, holding onto a tiny hope. Headmaster Morgan looked hesitant at first, her brows furrowed. But seeing the determination in my eyes, she let out a sigh and picked up the phone. “Coach Turner? There’s a determined girl here.” My heart raced as Headmaster Morgan finally pointed outside. “Go to the field quickly!”
“Three minutes,” Coach Turner said, rolling a soccer ball toward me. Without hesitation, I sprang into action. The wind rushed past my ears, and I could only hear the intense beating of my own heart. Sweat dripped down my neck as three defenders charged. I passed right, moved left, and then shot with my left foot. Finally, the ball flew over the goalkeeper’s hands, and went into the net. The coach’s eyes widened in surprise. I held my breath, waiting for his decision. “Welcome to the team,” Coach Turner announced, and I couldn’t help breaking into a huge smile. I knew it was my love for soccer that kept me from giving up.
