Turn right!” In the information technology (IT) class, Zhang Ruixuan was controlling a robot to move around. “This is part of our atificial intelligence (AI) courses,” said the 10th grader from Beijing 101 Middle School. The school provides AI classes for both junior and senior high school students. Apart from compulsory courses that teach basic knowledge, there are also optional (选修的) courses if students want to learn more. “This semester in our compulsory class, we have learned coding (编程) through a programming, language called Python,” said Zhang. Using Python to code is a basic skill for training AI models. In recent years, Python has been tested in high school graduation exams in places like Beijing, Jiangsu and Anhui. In fact, having AI education in schools has become a growing trend in many places, with Zhejiang province being a typical example. In 2020, Zhejiang added AI education into textbooks from Grade 5 in primary school all the way to senior high. In the city of Wenzhou, the government is planning to build 1, 000 AI experimental schools by 2025. “With the development of technology, our textbooks have been changing all the time,” said Shang Yin, an IT teacher from-Beijing 101 Middle School. “From typing-to-using Word and Excel, and then today’s coding and AI, the courses are keeping up with the times and teaching students necessary skills.” “In the future, there will be more jobs where AI knowledge is required. Even in daily life, people may need to understand things like ChatGPT. AI education will become increasingly important,” Shang added. 32. How did the writer start the passage? A. By asking questions.

AI is students’ most powerful competitor 【答案】CACB D In 2019, Canadians were advised to accept plant-based proteins such as beans, nuts and tofu instead of meat. “Over the past years, we’ve seen a changing food environment with more access to plant-based food. So it’s necessary to examine the nutritional (营养的) results of children following vegetarian (素食的) diets in Canada,” said Dr Jonathon Maguire, a doctor at St. Michael’s Hospital of Unity Health Toronto. Researchers tested 8,907 children in a study. The data were collected between 2008 and 2019. Children were grouped by their vegetarian status (状态)——defined as a dietary pattern that doesn’t include meat or non-vegetarian status. The researchers found children who had a vegetarian diet had similar mean body mass index (BMI), height, iron and vitamin D levels to those who ate meat. But the researchers also showed evidence (证据) that children having a vegetarian diet were nearly twice as likely to be underweight. There was no evidence of a connection with being overweight. Being underweight may be a sign that the quality of the child’s diet doesn’t meet his or her nutritional needs to support normal growth. For children who eat a vegetarian diet, the researchers stressed access to healthcare providers who can provide growth monitoring, education and guidance to support the children’s growth and nutritional intake. The plant-based dietary pattern is recognized as a healthy eating pattern because of increased intake of fruit, vegetables, whole grains and a low fat content. However, the researchers didn’t judge the quality of the vegetarian diets. There are different types of vegetarian diets, and a child’s growth and nutritional intake may be greatly affected by the diet’s quality. So further research is needed to examine the quality of vegetarian diets in childhood, as well as growth and nutritional results among children following a vegetarian diet. 36. What do we know about Canadians’ diets? A. Plant-based food can be widely found. B. Nutrition is the most important in cooking. C. Food products are more affordable than before. D. Environmentally-friendly materials are used as food sources. 37. What did the researchers find in their study? A. Vegetarian children were healthier than children eating meat. B. Children’s nutritional intake had a big effect on their intelligence. C. Children eating meat were more likely to be above normal weight. D. Vegetarian children were more likely to be below normal weight. 38. What is the researchers’ advice on caring for vegetarian children? A. Teaching them to cook by themselves. B Having them receive medical treatment regularly. C. Asking for professional guidance on healthy diets for them. D. Creating a comfortable dining environment for them. 39. What does the writer think of the study? A. It is of no importance. B. It needs to be further carried out. C. It provides new ideas for other studies. D. It needs to be more scientific and practical. 40. What is the main idea of the passage? A. It is good for children to have a balanced diet. B. Canadian children have got used the plant-based dietary pattern. C. Vegetarian diets are healthier and more nutritious than meat-based diets. D. Children with a vegetarian diet have similar growth and nutrition compared to children eating meat. 【答案】ADCBD 四、填空(共15小题； 每小题1分，满分15分) A) 根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词，使句子意思完整正确. 41.

The school provides AI classes for both junior and senior high school students. Apart from compulsory courses that teach basic knowledge, there are also optional (选修的) courses if students want to learn more. “This semester in our compulsory class, we have learned coding (编程) through a programming, language called Python,” said Zhang. Using Python to code is a basic skill for training AI models. In recent years, Python has been tested in high school graduation exams in places like Beijing, Jiangsu and Anhui. In fact, having AI education in schools has become a growing trend in many places, with Zhejiang province being a typical example. In 2020, Zhejiang added AI education into textbooks from Grade 5 in primary school all the way to senior high. In the city of Wenzhou, the government is planning to build 1, 000 AI experimental schools by 2025. “With the development of technology, our textbooks have been changing all the time,” said Shang Yin, an IT teacher from-Beijing 101 Middle School. “From typing-to-using Word and Excel, and then today’s coding and AI, the courses are keeping up with the times and teaching students necessary skills.” “In the future, there will be more jobs where AI knowledge is required.

So it’s necessary to examine the nutritional (营养的) results of children following vegetarian (素食的) diets in Canada,” said Dr Jonathon Maguire, a doctor at St. Michael’s Hospital of Unity Health Toronto. Researchers tested 8,907 children in a study. The data were collected between 2008 and 2019. Children were grouped by their vegetarian status (状态)——defined as a dietary pattern that doesn’t include meat or non-vegetarian status. The researchers found children who had a vegetarian diet had similar mean body mass index (BMI), height, iron and vitamin D levels to those who ate meat. But the researchers also showed evidence (证据) that children having a vegetarian diet were nearly twice as likely to be underweight. There was no evidence of a connection with being overweight. Being underweight may be a sign that the quality of the child’s diet doesn’t meet his or her nutritional needs to support normal growth. For children who eat a vegetarian diet, the researchers stressed access to healthcare providers who can provide growth monitoring, education and guidance to support the children’s growth and nutritional intake. The plant-based dietary pattern is recognized as a healthy eating pattern because of increased intake of fruit, vegetables, whole grains and a low fat content. However, the researchers didn’t judge the quality of the vegetarian diets. There are different types of vegetarian diets, and a child’s growth and nutritional intake may be greatly affected by the diet’s quality. So further research is needed to examine the quality of vegetarian diets in childhood, as well as growth and nutritional results among children following a vegetarian diet. 36. What do we know about Canadians’ diets? A. Plant-based food can be widely found. B. Nutrition is the most important in cooking. C. Food products are more affordable than before. D. Environmentally-friendly materials are used as food sources. 37. What did the researchers find in their study? A. Vegetarian children were healthier than children eating meat. B. Children’s nutritional intake had a big effect on their intelligence. C. Children eating meat were more likely to be above normal weight. D. Vegetarian children were more likely to be below normal weight. 38. What is the researchers’ advice on caring for vegetarian children? A. Teaching them to cook by themselves. B Having them receive medical treatment regularly. C. Asking for professional guidance on healthy diets for them. D. Creating a comfortable dining environment for them. 39. What does the writer think of the study? A. It is of no importance. B. It needs to be further carried out. C. It provides new ideas for other studies. D. It needs to be more scientific and practical. 40. What is the main idea of the passage? A. It is good for children to have a balanced diet. B. Canadian children have got used the plant-based dietary pattern. C. Vegetarian diets are healthier and more nutritious than meat-based diets. D. Children with a vegetarian diet have similar growth and nutrition compared to children eating meat. 四、填空(共15小题； 每小题1分，满分15分) A) 根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词，使句子意思完整正确. 41.
