Last year, 20 students in London learned maths through AI instead of human teachers. There was no robot at the front of the classroom, just AI programs on students’ computers. Some people think using AI to teach students is a step too far and that students need human interaction (交流) in their lessons. What do you think? ________
Yes—AI can improve learning
AI can work out difficult problems very quickly. It can find gaps (空白) in a child’s learning and fill them. AI teachers can pay attention to each student and help them with subjects they find difficult. In fact, it is hard for human teachers to do so in a big class.
Besides, AI has already been used to improve online learning and it has already been used in schools to support teachers with things like lesson plans. Also, the UK lacks middle school teachers, especially for subjects like computers and languages. Why not let AI teachers fill the gap?
No—students will lose out
A human teacher has a lot of knowledge, experience and ideas, while AI is only as good as the information it learns. Also, how well can AI teach creative subjects such as art and drama, which encourage students to come up with new ideas?
In 2023, the UK Government said AI could not take the place of the relationship that teachers have with their students. Teachers can understand students’ feelings and deal with important problems. If AI takes the place of teachers, students won’t have as many trusted adults to talk to when they are worried about something.
16. How does the writer start the passage?
A. By telling a joke. B. By explaining a reason.
C. By describing a scene. D. By using a famous saying.
17. Which of the following can be put in the “________”?
A. Are you good at using AI? B. Are AI teachers a good idea?
C. Are teachers happy with AI? D. Are AI teachers popular with parents?
18. What will happen if AI replaces human teachers according to the passage?
A. Teachers will lose their jobs. B. Teachers will improve teaching methods.
C. Students will learn more creative subjects. D. Students will have fewer adults to turn to.
【答案】16. C 17. B 18. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讨论了AI教师与人类教师的优缺点,呈现了支持和反对AI教师的两种观点。
【16题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Last year, 20 students in London learned maths through AI instead of human teachers.”可知作者通过描述一个场景来开篇。故选C。
【17题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Yes—AI can improve learning”以及“No—students will lose out”可知文章围绕AI教学展开讨论,先呈现现象,接着从支持和反对两方面论述,此处应是引出“AI教师是否是个好主意”的讨论。故选B。
【18题详解】
细节理解题。根据“If AI takes the place of teachers, students won’t have as many trusted adults to talk to when they are worried about something.”可知如果AI取代教师,那么当学生遇到问题时,他们就没有那么多值得信赖的大人可倾诉了。故选D。
B
Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals like climbing the mountain.” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn’t have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from the mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my perseverance (毅力).
Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds’ singing. But as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing. In fact, I hated it at that moment, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top. Only there you can see all of the nice things, just like your life.”
At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got new hope and confidence (自信). I found myself standing at the top of the mountain, and the sky was as clear as crystal (水晶).
19. What does the word “quit” in the passage mean?
A. carry on B. give up C. put off D. pick up
20. Which of the following is the closest in the meaning of the father’s words in Paragraph 2?
A. You will get all that you need at the top of the mountain.
B. Never give up halfway.
C. The most beautiful scenery is always at the top of the mountain.
D. You can find life is full of nice things.
21. Which can be inferred according to the last paragraph?
A. The writer was very successful in his life.
B. The writer reached the top of the mountain.
C. Though the writer was young, he could understand his father.
D. The writer used to stop halfway when he climbed the mountain.
22. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. How to get to the top of the mountain B. Standing at the top of the mountain
C. Never give up before the success D. Conversations between father and son
【答案】19. B 20. B 21. A 22. C
【解析】

【20题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top. Only there you can see all of the nice things, just like your life.”可知只有到达山顶,你才能够看到所有美好的事物,生活也是如此,因此该句的意思是“不要半途而废”。故选B。
【21题详解】
推理判断题。根据“But later after that, I got new hope and confidence (自信). I found myself standing at the top of the mountain, and the sky was as clear as crystal (水晶).”可知父亲的话语让作者获得了新的希望和自信,从而达到了人生的巅峰,因此,作者的人生是成功的。故选A。
【22题详解】
最佳标题题。本文主要讲述了作者和父亲在登山的过程中,父亲鼓励他不要半途而废,最美的风景在山顶,父亲的话语对作者的一生产生了很大的影响,从而让自己登上了人生的山顶,因此最佳标题为“在成功之前,永不放弃”。故选C。
C
After 84 days, the old man looked up and saw the bird was circling again now.
“The bird has found fish,” he said aloud. No flying fish broke the surface of the sea and there was no scattering (散落) of bait (诱饵) fish in the water. But as the old man watched, a small tuna (金枪鱼) rose in the air, turned and dropped head first into the water. The tuna shone silver in the sun and after he had dropped back into the water, more tuna started jumping out of the water in all directions, chasing after the bait. They were circling it and driving it.
“If they don’t travel too fast, I will get into them.” the old man thought, and he watched the tuna making the water white and the bird diving down to catch the bait fish that were forced to the surface in their fear.
“The bird is a great help,” the old man said. Just then, the fishing line at the back of the boat grew tight under his foot. He dropped his oars (船桨) and felt the weight of the tuna, and began to pull it in. When he pulled, he could see the blue back of the fish in the water and its golden sides. Finally, he lifted the fish into the boat. The tuna lay in the boat in the sun. He was small and shaped like a bullet. His big eyes stared when he hit against the floor of the boat with his tail. The old man hit him on the head to calm him down and then pushed him to the back of the boat.
“He’ll make a beautiful bait. He’ll weigh ten pounds,” the old man said aloud.
—Adapted from The Old Man and the Sea

D. The old man was experienced in handling the caught tuna.

Last year, 20 students in London learned maths through AI instead of human teachers. There was no robot at the front of the classroom, just AI programs on students’ computers. Some people think using AI to teach students is a step too far and that students need human interaction (交流) in their lessons. What do you think? ________
Yes—AI can improve learning
AI can work out difficult problems very quickly. It can find gaps (空白) in a child’s learning and fill them. AI teachers can pay attention to each student and help them with subjects they find difficult. In fact, it is hard for human teachers to do so in a big class.
Besides, AI has already been used to improve online learning and it has already been used in schools to support teachers with things like lesson plans. Also, the UK lacks middle school teachers, especially for subjects like computers and languages. Why not let AI teachers fill the gap?
No—students will lose out
A human teacher has a lot of knowledge, experience and ideas, while AI is only as good as the information it learns. Also, how well can AI teach creative subjects such as art and drama, which encourage students to come up with new ideas?
In 2023, the UK Government said AI could not take the place of the relationship that teachers have with their students. Teachers can understand students’ feelings and deal with important problems. If AI takes the place of teachers, students won’t have as many trusted adults to talk to when they are worried about something.
16. How does the writer start the passage?
A. By telling a joke. B. By explaining a reason.
C. By describing a scene. D. By using a famous saying.
17. Which of the following can be put in the “________”?
A. Are you good at using AI? B. Are AI teachers a good idea?
C. Are teachers happy with AI? D. Are AI teachers popular with parents?
18. What will happen if AI replaces human teachers according to the passage?
A. Teachers will lose their jobs. B. Teachers will improve teaching methods.
C. Students will learn more creative subjects. D. Students will have fewer adults to turn to.
B
Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals like climbing the mountain.” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn’t have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from the mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my perseverance (毅力).
Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds’ singing. But as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing. In fact, I hated it at that moment, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top. Only there you can see all of the nice things, just like your life.”
At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got new hope and confidence (自信). I found myself standing at the top of the mountain, and the sky was as clear as crystal (水晶).
19. What does the word “quit” in the passage mean?
A. carry on B. give up C. put off D. pick up
20. Which of the following is the closest in the meaning of the father’s words in Paragraph 2?
A. You will get all that you need at the top of the mountain.
B. Never give up halfway.
C. The most beautiful scenery is always at the top of the mountain.
D. You can find life is full of nice things.
21. Which can be inferred according to the last paragraph?
A. The writer was very successful in his life.
B. The writer reached the top of the mountain.
C. Though the writer was young, he could understand his father.
D. The writer used to stop halfway when he climbed the mountain.
22. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. How to get to the top of the mountain B. Standing at the top of the mountain
C. Never give up before the success D. Conversations between father and son

After 84 days, the old man looked up and saw the bird was circling again now.
“The bird has found fish,” he said aloud. No flying fish broke the surface of the sea and there was no scattering (散落) of bait (诱饵) fish in the water. But as the old man watched, a small tuna (金枪鱼) rose in the air, turned and dropped head first into the water. The tuna shone silver in the sun and after he had dropped back into the water, more tuna started jumping out of the water in all directions, chasing after the bait. They were circling it and driving it.
“If they don’t travel too fast, I will get into them.” the old man thought, and he watched the tuna making the water white and the bird diving down to catch the bait fish that were forced to the surface in their fear.
“The bird is a great help,” the old man said. Just then, the fishing line at the back of the boat grew tight under his foot. He dropped his oars (船桨) and felt the weight of the tuna, and began to pull it in. When he pulled, he could see the blue back of the fish in the water and its golden sides. Finally, he lifted the fish into the boat. The tuna lay in the boat in the sun. He was small and shaped like a bullet. His big eyes stared when he hit against the floor of the boat with his tail. The old man hit him on the head to calm him down and then pushed him to the back of the boat.
“He’ll make a beautiful bait. He’ll weigh ten pounds,” the old man said aloud.
—Adapted from The Old Man and the Sea
23 Why did the old man say “The bird has found fish” aloud?
A. He saw flying fish jumping out of the water. B. The bird’s circling showed fish nearby.
C. Bait fish were scattering on the surface. D. A shark attacked his boat suddenly.

A. The bait fish were forced to the surface of the sea.
B. The circling bird flew back and told him.
C. The fishing line at the back of the boat grew tight.
D. He felt the weight of the fish on his hand directly.
25. What can we infer from paragraph 4?
A. The bird always follows the old man during his fishing trips.
B The size of the tuna made it extremely difficult to catch.
C. The tuna still struggled after being pulled into the boat.
D. The old man was experienced in handling the caught tuna.

A. Satisfied. B. Disappointed. C. Annoyed. D. Tired.

Labor classes at school can help students be active, creative (有创造力的) and happy in life. At the same time, students can learn the meaning of labor. From last September, all students in middle school can have at least one labor class a week.
There are many interesting labor classes now. Students from a school in Chongqing had a class about catching fish in the river and learning about their habits. In Shanxi Province, students made tofu with beans. They also cooked it by themselves. The labor classes made them feel happy when they cooked delicious meals. Some students also kept small animals at home like chickens. This helped students learn how to care for living things and also made them more interested in biology.
According to the new policy (政策), middle school students need to learn the following skills in labor classes: Clean their rooms and classrooms, pick proper (合适的) clothes for travel, cook three or four meals, and take part in labor activities such as planting or fishing.
A study shows that doing labor work is good for students. The students can get more self-control, do better in school, and feel happier from it. Labor classes not only teach them important skills but also are a great way to relax during a busy school day. So which kind of labor skill do you want to learn most?
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
