From friendships to work stress, more Chinese people are now using AI tools like DeepSeek to talk about their problems. They share feelings with the chatbot (聊天机器人) and get warm advice. This is called “AI therapy (疗愈)”, which is becoming popular online. But can robots really take the place of human therapists (治疗师)?
Around the world, 45 percent of people who needed mental (心理的) health care in 2024 did not get it because it was too expensive or there weren’t enough doctors, according to Huntington Psychological Services. Daniel Lowd, a professor (教授) at the University of Oregon, believes AI could help solve these problems. “If people can find some support and ideas by talking to ChatGPT or chatbot Claude, then I think that’s wonderful,” Lowd told Newsweek. Li Yong, a doctor at the Jiangsu Province Hospital, agreed with Lowd, saying that AI meets people’s needs for emotional (情绪上的) support to a point.
However, AI has its limits. Human therapists understand feelings deeply through face-to-face talks and create personalized treatment (个性化治疗) plans—something robots can’t fully copy. Another problem is safety. AI might act like a therapist without proper training or rules. It can’t be as responsible (负责的) as human therapists.
Experts believe the key to safe AI therapy is strict government control. For example, Wysa, an AI mental health app, follows strict medical standards (标准) in the UK . As AI becomes part of daily life, finding a balance (平衡) between its benefits (效益) and risks is important. While AI offers quick help, human connection keeps irreplaceable for serious emotional needs.
32. What is “AI therapy”?
A. Making friends with an AI chatbot. B. Looking for comfort and advice from a chatbot.
C. Using AI tools in our daily lives. D. Treating illnesses with the help of AI.
33. What problems can chatbots solve according to Daniel Lowd?
A. Not enough time to relax. B. The high price of going to hospitals.
C. The great need for mental health care. D. Terrible relations between people.
34. What is a problem with AI chatbots according to the passage?
A. They cannot offer different treatment plans.
B. They don’t get proper training,
C. They cannot be responsible for their advice,
D. They might take away jobs from human therapists.
35. What do experts think about “AI therapy”?
A. It brings more risks than benefits.
B. It is good but needs strong control.
C. It will completely change the health care industry.
D. People shouldn’t depend too much on AI chatbots.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了人工智能疗法的好处和坏处。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据“From friendships to work stress, more Chinese people are now using AI tools like DeepSeek to talk about their problems. They share feelings with the chatbot (聊天机器人) and get warm advice.”可知,人工智能疗法指人们与聊天机器人分享感受并获得安慰建议的行为。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Around the world, 45 percent of people who needed mental (心理的) health care in 2024 did not get it because it was too expensive or there weren’t enough doctors, according to Huntington Psychological Services. Daniel Lowd, a professor (教授) at the University of Oregon, believes AI could help solve these problems.”可知,人工智能可解决心理医生短缺这一迫切需求。故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据“AI might act like a therapist without proper training or rules. It can’t be as responsible (负责的) as human therapists.”可知,人工智能可能会像一个没有适当训练或规则的治疗师,它不可能像人类治疗师那样负责任,即人工智能不能为自己的建议负责。故选C。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Experts believe the key to safe AI therapy is strict government control.”可知,专家认为人工智能疗愈很好,但是需要严格管控,故选B。
D
We arrived at our new house in the city. I took my dog Max with me. Grandpa offered to keep Max on his farm but I refused.
Although I would visit Grandpa every weekend, I couldn’t give up Max for five days a week! Dad and Mom started cleaning the new house and I took a chain (链条), tied it to Max’s neck and walked him to the yard. I felt sorry when he looked at me with sad eyes. He wanted to run freely. At last, Friday came and we packed to go to the farm to visit Grandpa.
“Let’s walk Max to the car,” Mom said. As soon as Mom opened the door, Max ran away. Mom and I jumped into the car and caught up to him, who was running beside the road with his tongue sticking out (舌头外伸). Then he ran quickly into the road.
A coming car came to a sudden stop. Mom shouted “Sorry” to the driver. We ran after Max all the way to the park before he was ready to get into the car. Finally, we got back to Grandpa’s farm. Returning to this old place, Max seemed to be back to his happy days. He ran across the field happily, leaving the vegetables in a mess. He barked at the chickens and scared them to fly in every direction and ran after the birds. “He loves the life on the farm, doesn’t he?” laughed Grandpa. I pretended (假装) not to hear it.

However, my heart broke because of his sad sounds—he was begging! ____▲____. As I watched Max run to the farm, I couldn’t help crying. Mom said, “Dear, this is what true love is all about.”

Dear Mr. Hunt,
My problem is that I can’t get on with my parents and I am under too much pressure these days. Every school night, I have to study until really late, so I don’t get enough sleep.
But my parents think I am not good enough. As a result, my parents take me to many after-school lessons. You know I have too much homework and too many after-school lessons make me feel more tired. I think they don’t understand me.
At home I always feel lonely and nervous. What’s worse, I get angry easily. What can I do?

I hope things will be better for you soon.
Robert Hunt
【答案】例文
Dear Sad and Fourteen,
It’s not easy being your age, and it’s normal to have these feelings. Why don’t you talk about these feelings with your family? Too much pressure is not good for a kid’s development. You should explain to them that you feel too tired because of too many after-class lessons. And maybe your parents can cut out some of them so that you can have time to relax. What’s more, you had better make good use of time to do homework and sleep earlier. Remember: learn to relax and be in control of your life!
I hope things will be better for you soon.
Robert Hunt

Breaks get longer: Students can have more fun during the breaks between classes
During the breaks between classes, Xiao Jingsheng from Beijing Shangdi Experimental School often had to run to the toilet and then back to class with no time for anything else. But now things are different. “I can have more time to rest and share interesting things with my classmates,” said the 14-year-old.
Starting this autumn term, students at primary and middle schools in Beijing have longer breaks between classes-from 10 minutes to 15 minutes. Students now can spend more time outside, so they can be healthier and happier. Many schools have space for reading, playing the piano and even playing with animals.
“We have some ducks and rabbits in our school!” said Zhang Boren, a 13-year-old from Beijing 101 Middle School Kuangda Campus. “We can play with them or exercise on the playground. Getting closer to nature is relaxing.”
29. What do we know about Xiao Jingsheng from Para 1?

30. According to Para 2, what is a good thing about students having longer breaks?

C. They can stay outside longer. D. They can leave school earlier.
31. What does Zhang Boren like about the longer breaks?

D. He can play with animals and exercise outside

From friendships to work stress more Chinese people are now using AI tools like DeepSeek to talk about their problems. They share feelings with the chatbot (聊天机器人) and get warm advice. This is called “AI therapy (疗愈)”, which is becoming popular online. But can robots really take the place of human therapists (治疗师)?
Around the world, 45 percent of people who needed mental (心理的) health care in 2024 did not get it because it was too expensive or there weren’t enough doctors, according to Huntington Psychological Services. Daniel Lowd, a professor (教授) at the University of Oregon, believes AI could help solve these problems. “If people can find some support and ideas by talking to ChatGPT or chatbot Claude, then I think that’s wonderful,” Lowd told Newsweek. Li Yong, a doctor at the Jiangsu Province Hospital, agreed with Lowd, saying that AI meets people’s needs for emotional (情绪上的) support to a point.
However, AI has its limits. Human therapists understand feelings deeply through face-to-face talks and create personalized treatment (个性化治疗) plans—something robots can’t fully copy. Another problem is safety. AI might act like a therapist without proper training or rules. It can’t be as responsible (负责的) as human therapists.
Experts believe the key to safe AI therapy is strict government control. For example, Wysa, an AI mental health app, follows strict medical standards (标准) in the UK . As AI becomes part of daily life, finding a balance (平衡) between its benefits (效益) and risks is important. While AI offers quick help, human connection keeps irreplaceable for serious emotional needs.
32. What is “AI therapy”?
A. Making friends with an AI chatbot. B. Looking for comfort and advice from a chatbot.
C. Using AI tools in our daily lives. D. Treating illnesses with the help of AI.
33. What problems can chatbots solve according to Daniel Lowd?
A. Not enough time to relax. B. The high price of going to hospitals.
C. The great need for mental health care. D. Terrible relations between people.
34. What is a problem with AI chatbots according to the passage?
A. They cannot offer different treatment plans.
B. They don’t get proper training,
C. They cannot be responsible for their advice,
D. They might take away jobs from human therapists.
35. What do experts think about “AI therapy”?
A. It brings more risks than benefits.
B. It is good but needs strong control.
C. It will completely change the health care industry.
D. People shouldn’t depend too much on AI chatbots.
D
We arrived at our new house in the city. I took my dog Max with me. Grandpa offered to keep Max on his farm but I refused.
Although I would visit Grandpa every weekend, I couldn’t give up Max for five days a week! Dad and Mom started cleaning the new house and I took a chain (链条), tied it to Max’s neck and walked him to the yard. I felt sorry when he looked at me with sad eyes. He wanted to run freely. At last, Friday came and we packed to go to the farm to visit Grandpa.
“Let’s walk Max to the car,” Mom said. As soon as Mom opened the door, Max ran away. Mom and I jumped into the car and caught up to him, who was running beside the road with his tongue sticking out (舌头外伸). Then he ran quickly into the road.
A coming car came to a sudden stop. Mom shouted “Sorry” to the driver. We ran after Max all the way to the park before he was ready to get into the car. Finally, we got back to Grandpa’s farm. Returning to this old place, Max seemed to be back to his happy days. He ran across the field happily, leaving the vegetables in a mess. He barked at the chickens and scared them to fly in every direction and ran after the birds. “He loves the life on the farm, doesn’t he?” laughed Grandpa. I pretended (假装) not to hear it. When we got ready to leave on Sunday, Max’s eyes didn’t shine anymore. When we walked him to our car, he tried to run away. This time, I held the chain tightly (紧紧地). However, my heart broke because of his sad sounds—he was begging! ____▲____. As I watched Max run to the farm, I couldn’t help crying. Mom said, “Dear, this is what true love is all about.”

B. Because the dog could help Dad and Mom.

71. 最近学校心理咨询室寻求帮助的信件比较多,假如你是Mr. Hunt,请针对昨天收到的八年级学生Sad and Fourteen的来信进行回复,提出恰当的建议帮助其度过难关。
Dear Mr. Hunt,
My problem is that I can’t get on with my parents and I am under too much pressure these days. Every school night, I have to study until really late, so I don’t get enough sleep.
But my parents think I am not good enough. As a result, my parents take me to many after-school lessons. You know I have too much homework and too many after-school lessons make me feel more tired. I think they don’t understand me.
At home I always feel lonely and nervous. What’s worse, I get angry easily. What can I do?
Sad and Fourteen o(╥﹏╥)o
