More than 2,000 high school teachers took an online survey. 40 percent of the teachers said the Internet and digital search tools have had a “mostly good” use for their students’ research habits and skills. But 35 percent agreed that these technologies “make the students not have enough attention.” And 25 percent said the technologies “do little to help them in courses.” Judy Buchanan is a director of the National Writing Project. Ms. Buchanan says digital research tools are helping students learn more, and learn faster. Teachers really like these tools, because they are ways to make some of learning exciting. Young people enjoy using these tools. And the goal is to help them become creative students of meaningful work, and not just that kind of copyright. But one problem the survey found is that many students don’t have a good understanding of how to use the digital knowledge well. In other words, they trust too much of the information. Judy Buchanan says these students have not developed the skills they need to tell whether the online information is good or bad. Another problem the survey found is something that might not seem like a problem at all: being able to quickly find information online. Teachers say the capacity of their students to work hard to find answers is becoming weaker. They say students depend too much on search engines (引擎) and do not make enough use of printed books or research librarians. Besides, many teachers are also worried about the problem that the Internet makes it easy for students to copy work done by others, instead of using their own abilities. 1．How many teachers think the tools are useless for students according to the survey? A．2000 B．800 C．700 D．500 2．Why do teachers like the digital search tools? A．Because they can make some of learning exciting. B．Because they can help students find answers easily. C．Because they can tell whether the information is good or not. D．Because they can help students copy the work done by others. 3．What does the underlined word “capacity” mean in the fifth paragraph? A．theme. B．way. C．challenge. D．ability. 4．What does the writer want to tell us by writing this passage? A．Many teachers are worried about the students’ abilities. B．Students don’t know how to use the digital search tools. C．Digital search tools have quite a lot of advantages. D．Students should learn how to use the digital tools in a right way. 5．What’s the best title of this passage? A．An online survey about digital age B．The problems of digital age C．The introduction of digital age D．The changes of digital age Zhao Shengliang, the head of the Dunhuang Research Center, gave a talk at Shenzhen Book City CBD Store on December 1, 2024. The talk was about how digital technology (数字技术) can help protect traditional culture. “Dunhuang connects the Eastern and Western cultures,” Zhao said, “It shows how different cultures exchange ideas. Making the relics (文物) digital is very important because it can keep the old things from Dunhuang safe for always.” Zhao showed how digital technology is used in Dunhuang’s art projects. For example, in the Mogao Grottoes (莫高窟) Digital Tour Center, tourists can explore the Mogao Grottoes through virtual (虚拟的) tours, where tourists can “travel back” to the caves in ancient times. According to Zhao, working with Huawei has made the visitor experience at Dunhuang much better. They have brought in an AR map. This map can provide AI-guided tours as well as interesting activities like taking pictures with a virtual (虚拟的) deer. Dunhuang’s Mogao Grottoes, with ancient art, are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Although the Digital Dunhuang project has a long way to go, it shows a new idea of for protecting cultural relics and helps spread traditional culture across the world. 1．What was Zhao Shengliang’s talk about?

A．Culture B．Nature C．Education D．Business Livestreaming (直播) is very popular these days, but have you watched livestreaming shows given by virtual hosts (虚拟主播)? They look like real people, but in fact, they’re just digital characters created by AI companies. Xmov is such an AI company in China. Set up in 2018, it has created lots of great digital humans. People talked about the company when it presented its latest high-technology products to more than 300 guests at a launch event in Shanghai last year. The company is the first in China to create the virtual social media star named Ling, who is always seen in a traditional Chinese costume. In August 2023, the company also used a 3D AI host to show their new products to more than 300 guests at an event, which caused a heated discussion among people. Now, many companies are using virtual hosts to sell their products through livestreaming. For one thing, it costs much less than building a traditional livestreaming room and team. For another, virtual hosts can work 24 hours a day. And tests have shown that they can do the job as well as human workers. Virtual characters are expected to be used in more industries. In the near future, we may see them act as teachers, salespeople, guides and so on. It will not only reshapes (重塑) many industries, but also allow human workers to put more energy into creative work instead of doing ______ tasks. The AI technology is fantastic without doubt. But it can’t completely take humans’ place. For example, it will be difficult for digital humans to build trust with customers like real people.

D．More jobs will be created in different industries. 5．What’s the best title for the text? A．The use of virtual characters B．The history of online shopping C．The popularity of livestreaming D．The development of AI companies What do you think of a “talking kitchen”? A French Digital Kitchen has been developed at Newcastle University in the UK. It teaches students how to cook French food and speak French at the same time. For the first time, students can learn a language by following cooking steps. All grammar and vocabulary have been carefully chosen to make sure the users have a good understanding of French. After learning for some time, the users can test themselves by doing a short test on the computer. The kitchen project was started by Professor Paul Seedhouse. He became interested in the idea after he visited another kind of talking kitchen. He said, “The purpose of the French Digital Kitchen is to make learning a language more interesting and more educational.” How does the kitchen work? There is a computer in the kitchen. With this computer, the users can first choose a French recipe that they want to follow. The computer then starts to guide the users how to make a French dish. If you follow the instructions on the computer, it moves on to the next. If you go wrong, the program goes back and repeats the recipe or instructions. At any time, the users can also ask the kitchen to repeat the recipe or any step. The new kitchen can be used in schools, universities and even people’s homes. The researchers will also be developing the European Digital Kitchen, for the next three years. 1．After reading the passage, we know that ________. A．the Digital Kitchen is a “talking kitchen” B．the Digital Kitchen teaches students English C．the Digital Kitchen was developed in France D．the Digital Kitchen cooks all food for people 2．The underlined word “purpose” in Paragraph 3 means ________ in Chinese.

A．show you how computers work B．introduce a French Digital Kitchen C．teach you how to cook French food D．tell you to learn a new language Life for the old is changing quickly because of technology. While some find joy in these changes, others face difficulties. Many seniors are discovering fun ways to use technology. Free online classes let them learn painting, gardening, or even how to use smartphones. For example, 72-year-old Grandma Zhang recently learned to make digital (数字的) birthday cards for her grandchildren. Video apps like WeChat help families stay connected. “I see my grandson’s face every day though he studies abroad,” said Mr. Li, 68, with a smile. Smartwatches are also popular—they check heart rates and remind users to take medicine. Some hospitals even let patients talk to doctors online, saving time for those who have trouble walking. However, not everything is easy. About 40% of people over 65 say technology changes too fast. Many have a hard time with small phone text, forget passwords, or worry about online tricks. “I once lost 500 yuan on my phone. Now I’m scared to use my phone,” shared Auntie Wang. To help, communities are taking action. Young volunteers teach seniors how to use phones safely every weekend. In Beijing, a 16-year-old boy named Xiaoming became a “tech-teacher” for his neighbors. “Mr. Chen learned to send emojis (表情)! He sends me a thumbs-up after each lesson,” Xiaoming said proudly. The government also opened special “tech-cafes” with large-screen computers and friendly guides. As 5G networks reach more places, even villages are joining the digital age. The key is to make technology kind to people of all ages. After all, today’s young “phone experts” will one day be seniors (较年长者) too. By working together, every age can enjoy the benefits of a connected world. Digital life not only brings us joy but also prepares us for future jobs. Many jobs today require computer and internet skills. So, let’s enjoy digital life wisely, stay safe, and keep a balance.This way, we can make the most of it and be ready for the future. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．How many good things does technology bring to seniors?

Thanks to artificial intelligence (AI), this dream is becoming reality in classrooms around the world. In Wuhan Gangcheng No. 4 Middle School, students ask questions to a 3D-animated Confucius (孔子). One student once asked, “Does ‘ren’ (kindness) still matter in a world full of competition?” The digital Confucius smiled and explained how kindness helps people live together peacefully. This isn’t magic—it’s AI! Using tools like Jimeng (即梦AI) and Keling (可灵AI), teachers can turn flat textbook pictures into lively characters. These AI tools add details to old paintings, make the characters move, and even let them speak. For example, Aristotle can now explain logic with hand gestures, and Li Qingzhao (李清照) can recite her poems with gentle expressions. AI isn’t just fun, it’s changing how we study. In Nanjing’s Stone Shadow Art Museum, AI turns ancient Chinese paintings into modern art styles. When visitors use a special flashlight, ink-and-wash mountains become colorful impressionist scenes. This mix of old and new helps us understand culture better. In classrooms, AI helps students learn at their own pace. A smart system can give students different learning materials based on their questions. An AI wrong-answer notebook (“AI 错题本”) finds mistakes and makes practice plans. In a history class about the Maya civilization (玛雅文明), students explore how climate change affected cities through AI-made videos. “History isn’t just dates anymore,” says student Wu Boyu. “It’s like touching the past.” However, there are problems. Some people use AI to change history characters in bad ways. We need rules to stop this. Also, while AI helps us learn, teachers remind us not to forget the human side of learning—like sharing ideas face-to-face. Looking ahead, AI will do more. Students might use AI to understand art or create digital exhibitions. As one teacher says, “Technology isn’t the goal. It’s a way to help every student shine.” From old books to smart screens, learning is always evolving. With AI, textbook characters aren’t just words anymore—they’re friends who guide us through the amazing journey of knowledge. 1．What tools do teachers use to make textbook pictures lively? A．ChatGPT and DeepSeek. B．Jimeng and Keling. C．Photoshop and Illustrator. D．WeChat and TikTok. 2．What can the “AI wrong-answer notebook” do? A．Replace human teachers. B．Make history videos. C．Write homework for students. D．Find mistakes and create study plans. 3．Why does Wu Boyu say “History isn’t just dates anymore”? A．History books have colorful pictures now. B．History exams became easier. C．AI makes history about famous people. D．AI helps students experience history vividly. 4．What does the flashlight example in Nanjing museum show? A．AI makes art exhibitions brighter. B．Technology connects traditional and modern culture. C．Visitors prefer impressionist paintings. D．Flashlights are essential for museum tours. 5．What is the article mainly about? A．Famous AI companies in China. B．The history of digital textbooks. C．Why museums need new technologies.

It is also good at creating well-structured texts like reports or essays. Developed by ByteDance, Doubao is easy to use and has many functions. It is a great helper for language learning. It can correct grammar mistakes, help increase vocabulary (词汇量), and even have language-exchange conversations. Besides, Doubao is good at giving useful advice for daily life, such as suggesting recipes or giving tips on party organization. ChatGPT is created by OpenAI. It is famous for its natural language processing skills. It can have deep discussions on many topics, from scientific theories to cultural phenomena. It is widely used for content creation, like writing blog posts, news articles, and creative stories. WeChat is not only a social media platform but also a useful tool for daily life. Although it can’t write texts for users, it combines many functions, which brings a lot of convenience to users. People can use it to chat with friends, make payments, order food, and even book movie tickets. In the fast-moving digital age, these apps have become a very important part of our lives.

Traffic used to be a common headache for people in Hangzhou. Hangzhou is an eastern Chinese city and the home of Alibaba. Once it was the 5th most crowded city in China, but at the end of 2023, it has dropped to No. 13 on the list. Alibaba says that’s because of one of its inventions, called the City Brain. The City Brain started in 2016. It uses AI to collect information across Hangzhou, such as GPS data on the locations of cars and buses. The City Brain deals with the information in real time as it gets more than 1,000 road signals around the city. After testing, the City Brain can be working. For example, it has shortened commutes (缩短通勤时间) and also helped fire fighters to get to the scene of emergencies (紧急情况)  soon. The City Brain is also good for some drivers. Ye Bojie, who works for Didi, said it once took him 40 minutes to drive 3 kilometers, but it is much better now. The City Brain has been upgraded from Version (版本) 1.0 to Version 3.0. Now, in the smart parking lot scene, it further supports functions such as private and public parking space sharing. On September 25,2024, the third Global Digital Trade Expo opened in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. A union (联盟) was set up then. It includes cities such as Hangzhou, Nanjing, Hefei, Jinan, Ningbo, Baoding, Wuhu, Dezhou, Guangyuan and Zhangjiakou. With the City Brain, people in those cities will probably live in a more convenient way. 1．What do we know about the City Brain? A．It depends on AI. B．It can’t be working now. C．It began in 2023.

Let’s take a look at how they are different. Doubao is great for language learning. It can explain grammar points clearly, just like a patient English teacher. For example, when you can’t understand the present perfect tense clearly, Doubao can provide many examples and simple explanations (解释). It also helps with writing by checking grammar mistakes and giving tips. Kimi, on the other hand, pays more attention to creative ideas. If you are writing a story or a poem for English homework, Kimi can offer interesting plots (情节) and themes, which is useful for students who want to make their writing excellent. DeepSeek is powerful in learning facts. It has much information in different fields. When you are working on a history project or a science report in English, DeepSeek can quickly provide you with supported information and facts. If you come across something complex, DeepSeek can break it down into clear parts so that you can better order your thoughts. Tongyi Qianwen is really helpful for making pictures and shortening long texts. If you need pictures for a school project, just tell it what you want and it will make great pictures. Also, if you have a long reading for homework and don’t want to read it all, it can quickly tell you the main ideas. It makes study easier and faster. Different tools have different uses.

As they use digital technology too much, they are losing their ability to do simple (简单的) things. They can’t make toys themselves with hands or help Mum cook dinner. And worst of all, they seem to be losing interest in communicating with (与……交流) others. “I have talked with a number of teachers. They care about the increasing (增长的) numbers of children who can play with computers or smart phones, but have few or no skills to play with making things.” said a teacher, Colin Kinney. Many children can’t communicate with other children but their parents are proud of (以……自豪) their ability to use a computer or a smart phone. Instead of playing with other children, more and more children are choosing to stay indoors and quietly play on a tablet on weekends and after school. How can a child grow up to be a very good artist if he doesn’t learn how to use a paintbrush and develop his painting skill? How can a child learn to make friends as he gets older if he doesn’t learn to communicate with others at a young age? Digital technology can be used for good or bad. We can use a stone to break a window or build a house. We shouldn’t blame the children. We should help them make right choices. It is important for children to know how to use digital technology in today’s world, but what is more important, we should encourage (鼓励) them to develop social abilities, which will be useful to them when they grow up. 1．What’s the worst problem in the first paragraph?

Will computers become smarter than us? Probably no. But here are some things that scientists say that are happening or will happen in 10-30 years from now, according to the BBC． Self-driving Cars There are some machines on the car. They can make the car follow the rules of the road and keep a safe space from other cars. This would make the road safer. You can even take a short rest when the car drives itself. In the future, self-driving cars would be used by many people. Digital Money (数字货币) Now we can use Wechat Pay or Alipay to shop. That means we are already using digital money. People only need to take a phone wherever they go. Using these ways is much easier than looking for money in our pockets. However, some people don’t like using it. They think it is not safe enough. In fact, it is not true at all. ▲ . Virtual friends (虚拟朋友) Virtual friends can be a life-size copy of your best friend. It will be possible to talk to a life-sized hologram (全息图) of friends. A projector (投影仪) will create a picture of your friend sitting next to you. It will be just like they are there, except you can’t have a touch on them.

As they use digital technology too much, they are losing their ability to do simple things. They can’t make toys themselves with hands or help Mum cook dinner. And worst of all, they seem to be losing interest in communicating with others. “I have talked with a number of teachers. They care about the increasing numbers of young pupils who can play with computers or smartphones, but have few or no skills to make things.” said a teacher. “Many pupils can’t communicate with other pupils but their parents talk proudly of their ability to use a computer or a smartphone.” Instead of playing with other children, more and more children are choosing to stay indoors and quietly play on a tablet (平板电脑) at weekends and after school. How can a child grow up to be a very good artist if he doesn’t learn how to use a paintbrush and develop his painting skill? How can a child learn to make friends as he gets older if he doesn’t learn to communicate with others at a young age? We can use a stone to either break a window or build a house. Digital technology can be used for good or bad. We shouldn’t blame the children. We should help them make right choices. It is certainly necessary for children to know how to use digital technology in today’s world, but more importantly, we should encourage them to develop social abilities which will do them good when they grow up. 1．According to paragraph 1, what’s the worst problem?

The Notre Dame (巴黎圣母院) fire has been put out, but its spire and a large portion of its wooden roof have been damaged. The terrible destruction causes a sudden sharp pain to people around the world. On Chinese social media network Wechat a common comment on the disaster is: “What a pity that we cannot see the damaged parts of the wonder anymore.” But the good news is that there is at least one way of seeing them, namely via a video game called Assassin’s Creed: Unity. In this game, the player can travel to one city after another and enter the buildings exactly like what they are in reality, and see Notre Dame as it was before the fire. Further, with virtual reality technology, which is already quite nature, one can even look around the undamaged Notre Dame as if it is still there. Maybe digital technology could help to better protect architectural cultural heritage. The idea of digitizing ancient buildings, making digital models of them so their data can be saved, dates back to the 1990s and the necessary technology has continued to advance since then. By scanning the ancient buildings with lasers, building 3D models with multiple images, as well as measuring everything precisely, engineers can make a copy as accurate as the real one. As computers and smartphones are hugely popular, the digital replica (复制品) has great use value. First, it allows tourists to feel the cultural relics without touching them, which helps protect them. The virtual tour of Dunhuang Grottoes in Gansu Province is a good example of this as tourists can view the paintings without standing near them. Furthermore, it can make the digitized cultural relics more famous by spreading awareness about them via the Internet. In 2000, a virtual tour of the Great Wall became very popular at the Hannover World Expo, which increased the number of foreign tourists visiting the site in the following years. Above all, it preserves all the information of the cultural relics. Even if the original ones are damaged one day, people can still know what they were like and can build a replica if desired. Of course, however precise a model is, it is not the original. Time is the biggest threat to a country’s architectural heritage, which will always become ruins with the passing of the time. Maybe we will have better technologies in the future, but the digital technology offers a practical way to preserve architectural heritage at the moment. 1．What can we see about Notre Dame in the game? A．The damaged parts. B．The big fire. C．Its wooden shape. D．Its original look. 2．What will engineers do to create a digital replica of the ancient buildings? A．Improve the technology needed.

D．Supportive. You might think math and art are very different. However, they have many surprising relations. Understanding these links can help students learn better by mixing different subjects. First, let’s talk about the golden ratio (比例), a special number in math. It’s about 1.618 and appears in many artworks. For example, artists use it to create balanced and beautiful paintings. Take Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa as an example. The way Mona Lisa is placed in the picture follows the golden ratio. When you learn about this ratio in math class and then see it in art, you understand both subjects more deeply. Geometry (几何学), another area of math, is also important in art. Shapes and angles help artists draw things that look real. In Leonardo da Vinci’s drawing Vitruvian Man, circles and squares show how math can measure (测量) the human body. By studying geometry in art, students learn to notice shapes more carefully. Besides, modern buildings also use geometric shapes creatively, like the spiral (螺旋形) design of the Guggenheim Museum. * Scientists use numbers to describe different colors. The RGB color model uses numbers for red, green, and blue. Artists use this to mix the right colors for their paintings. When students learn about color models in science and apply them in art, they become more creative. They can even use simple rules to pick colors for digital art, connecting technology, math, and art. Studying math and art together not only improves their skills in both subjects but also helps them to think in new ways. Next time you draw a picture or solve a math problem, remember: math and art are like two sides of one coin. 1．According to the passage, what can the golden ratio help artists do? A．Take beautiful photos. B．Create balanced paintings. C．Choose right colors. D．Measure the human body. 2．What is the main purpose of Paragraph 3? A．To show the history of geometry. B．To introduce Leonardo da Vinci’s works. C．To explain how geometry helps in art. D．To compare different art styles. 3．Which of the following can be put in * . A．However, artists never use math in choosing colors. B．Math even plays a role in the world of colors. C．Students should learn more about colors in art class. D．Scientists and artists always work together. 4．What does the underlined word “apply” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Use. B．Change. C．Forget. D．Teach. 5．Which would be the best theme (主题) picture of the passage? A． B． C． D． 12 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 17 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年一线教师制作新教材英语同步精品系列资料，名师遴选！ 2025-2026学年一线教师制作新教材英语同步精品系列资料，名师遴选！ 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ Unit 3 Our digital lives 单元话题（数字生活）阅读理解进阶练15篇 说明：此专题分三个难度层次，基础入门训练<进阶拓展训练< 能力综合实践，老师根据学生实际情况进行针对性难度训练。 基础入门训练5篇 Teachers say the digital (数字的) age has had a good and a not-so-good influence (影响) on the American teenagers. More than 2,000 high school teachers took an online survey. 40 percent of the teachers said the Internet and digital search tools have had a “mostly good” use for their students’ research habits and skills. But 35 percent agreed that these technologies “make the students not have enough attention.” And 25 percent said the technologies “do little to help them in courses.” Judy Buchanan is a director of the National Writing Project. Ms. Buchanan says digital research tools are helping students learn more, and learn faster. Teachers really like these tools, because they are ways to make some of learning exciting. Young people enjoy using these tools. And the goal is to help them become creative students of meaningful work, and not just that kind of copyright. But one problem the survey found is that many students don’t have a good understanding of how to use the digital knowledge well. In other words, they trust too much of the information. Judy Buchanan says these students have not developed the skills they need to tell whether the online information is good or bad. Another problem the survey found is something that might not seem like a problem at all: being able to quickly find information online. Teachers say the capacity of their students to work hard to find answers is becoming weaker. They say students depend too much on search engines (引擎) and do not make enough use of printed books or research librarians. Besides, many teachers are also worried about the problem that the Internet makes it easy for students to copy work done by others, instead of using their own abilities. 1．How many teachers think the tools are useless for students according to the survey? A．2000 B．800 C．700 D．500 2．Why do teachers like the digital search tools? A．Because they can make some of learning exciting. B．Because they can help students find answers easily. C．Because they can tell whether the information is good or not. D．Because they can help students copy the work done by others. 3．What does the underlined word “capacity” mean in the fifth paragraph? A．theme. B．way. C．challenge. D．ability. 4．What does the writer want to tell us by writing this passage? A．Many teachers are worried about the students’ abilities. B．Students don’t know how to use the digital search tools. C．Digital search tools have quite a lot of advantages. D．Students should learn how to use the digital tools in a right way. 5．What’s the best title of this passage?

A French Digital Kitchen has been developed at Newcastle University in the UK. It teaches students how to cook French food and speak French at the same time. For the first time, students can learn a language by following cooking steps. All grammar and vocabulary have been carefully chosen to make sure the users have a good understanding of French. After learning for some time, the users can test themselves by doing a short test on the computer. The kitchen project was started by Professor Paul Seedhouse. He became interested in the idea after he visited another kind of talking kitchen. He said, “The purpose of the French Digital Kitchen is to make learning a language more interesting and more educational.” How does the kitchen work? There is a computer in the kitchen. With this computer, the users can first choose a French recipe that they want to follow. The computer then starts to guide the users how to make a French dish. If you follow the instructions on the computer, it moves on to the next. If you go wrong, the program goes back and repeats the recipe or instructions. At any time, the users can also ask the kitchen to repeat the recipe or any step. The new kitchen can be used in schools, universities and even people’s homes. The researchers will also be developing the European Digital Kitchen, for the next three years. 1．After reading the passage, we know that ________.

While some find joy in these changes, others face difficulties. Many seniors are discovering fun ways to use technology. Free online classes let them learn painting, gardening, or even how to use smartphones. For example, 72-year-old Grandma Zhang recently learned to make digital (数字的) birthday cards for her grandchildren. Video apps like WeChat help families stay connected. “I see my grandson’s face every day though he studies abroad,” said Mr. Li, 68, with a smile. Smartwatches are also popular—they check heart rates and remind users to take medicine. Some hospitals even let patients talk to doctors online, saving time for those who have trouble walking. However, not everything is easy. About 40% of people over 65 say technology changes too fast. Many have a hard time with small phone text, forget passwords, or worry about online tricks. “I once lost 500 yuan on my phone. Now I’m scared to use my phone,” shared Auntie Wang. To help, communities are taking action. Young volunteers teach seniors how to use phones safely every weekend. In Beijing, a 16-year-old boy named Xiaoming became a “tech-teacher” for his neighbors. “Mr. Chen learned to send emojis (表情)! He sends me a thumbs-up after each lesson,” Xiaoming said proudly. The government also opened special “tech-cafes” with large-screen computers and friendly guides. As 5G networks reach more places, even villages are joining the digital age. The key is to make technology kind to people of all ages. After all, today’s young “phone experts” will one day be seniors (较年长者) too. By working together, every age can enjoy the benefits of a connected world. Digital life not only brings us joy but also prepares us for future jobs. Many jobs today require computer and internet skills.

Thanks to artificial intelligence (AI), this dream is becoming reality in classrooms around the world. In Wuhan Gangcheng No. 4 Middle School, students ask questions to a 3D-animated Confucius (孔子). One student once asked, “Does ‘ren’ (kindness) still matter in a world full of competition?” The digital Confucius smiled and explained how kindness helps people live together peacefully. This isn’t magic—it’s AI! Using tools like Jimeng (即梦AI) and Keling (可灵AI), teachers can turn flat textbook pictures into lively characters. These AI tools add details to old paintings, make the characters move, and even let them speak. For example, Aristotle can now explain logic with hand gestures, and Li Qingzhao (李清照) can recite her poems with gentle expressions. AI isn’t just fun, it’s changing how we study. In Nanjing’s Stone Shadow Art Museum, AI turns ancient Chinese paintings into modern art styles. When visitors use a special flashlight, ink-and-wash mountains become colorful impressionist scenes. This mix of old and new helps us understand culture better. In classrooms, AI helps students learn at their own pace. A smart system can give students different learning materials based on their questions. An AI wrong-answer notebook (“AI 错题本”) finds mistakes and makes practice plans. In a history class about the Maya civilization (玛雅文明), students explore how climate change affected cities through AI-made videos. “History isn’t just dates anymore,” says student Wu Boyu. “It’s like touching the past.” However, there are problems. Some people use AI to change history characters in bad ways. We need rules to stop this. Also, while AI helps us learn, teachers remind us not to forget the human side of learning—like sharing ideas face-to-face. Looking ahead, AI will do more. Students might use AI to understand art or create digital exhibitions. As one teacher says, “Technology isn’t the goal. It’s a way to help every student shine.” From old books to smart screens, learning is always evolving. With AI, textbook characters aren’t just words anymore—they’re friends who guide us through the amazing journey of knowledge. 1．What tools do teachers use to make textbook pictures lively? A．ChatGPT and DeepSeek. B．Jimeng and Keling. C．Photoshop and Illustrator. D．WeChat and TikTok. 2．What can the “AI wrong-answer notebook” do? A．Replace human teachers. B．Make history videos. C．Write homework for students. D．Find mistakes and create study plans. 3．Why does Wu Boyu say “History isn’t just dates anymore”? A．History books have colorful pictures now. B．History exams became easier. C．AI makes history about famous people. D．AI helps students experience history vividly. 4．What does the flashlight example in Nanjing museum show? A．AI makes art exhibitions brighter. B．Technology connects traditional and modern culture. C．Visitors prefer impressionist paintings. D．Flashlights are essential for museum tours. 5．What is the article mainly about? A．Famous AI companies in China. B．The history of digital textbooks. C．Why museums need new technologies. D．How AI makes learning interactive and evolving. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．D 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了人工智能如何通过将教科书中的历史人物和艺术作品变得生动，从而改变学习方式，使学习更具互动性和趣味性。文章还提到了人工智能在教育中的其他应用以及潜在的问题。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“Using tools like Jimeng (即梦AI) and Keling (可灵AI), teachers can turn flat textbook pictures into lively characters.”可知，教师使用的工具是即梦AI和可灵AI。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“An AI wrong-answer notebook (‘AI 错题本’) finds mistakes and makes practice plans.”可知，AI错题本的功能是发现错误并制定学习计划。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段“In a history class about the Maya civilization (玛雅文明), students explore how climate change affected cities through AI-made videos.”可推知，吴博宇说 “历史不再只是日期了”是因为在学习玛雅文明的历史课上，学生们通过人工智能制作的视频探索气候变化如何影响城市，人工智能让学生们能够生动地体验历史，而不只是学习枯燥的日期。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据第三段“In Nanjing’s Stone Shadow Art Museum, AI turns ancient Chinese paintings into modern art styles.

Hangzhou is an eastern Chinese city and the home of Alibaba. Once it was the 5th most crowded city in China, but at the end of 2023, it has dropped to No. 13 on the list. Alibaba says that’s because of one of its inventions, called the City Brain. The City Brain started in 2016. It uses AI to collect information across Hangzhou, such as GPS data on the locations of cars and buses. The City Brain deals with the information in real time as it gets more than 1,000 road signals around the city. After testing, the City Brain can be working. For example, it has shortened commutes (缩短通勤时间) and also helped fire fighters to get to the scene of emergencies (紧急情况)  soon. The City Brain is also good for some drivers. Ye Bojie, who works for Didi, said it once took him 40 minutes to drive 3 kilometers, but it is much better now. The City Brain has been upgraded from Version (版本) 1.0 to Version 3.0.

The terrible destruction causes a sudden sharp pain to people around the world. On Chinese social media network Wechat a common comment on the disaster is: “What a pity that we cannot see the damaged parts of the wonder anymore.” But the good news is that there is at least one way of seeing them, namely via a video game called Assassin’s Creed: Unity. In this game, the player can travel to one city after another and enter the buildings exactly like what they are in reality, and see Notre Dame as it was before the fire. Further, with virtual reality technology, which is already quite nature, one can even look around the undamaged Notre Dame as if it is still there. Maybe digital technology could help to better protect architectural cultural heritage. The idea of digitizing ancient buildings, making digital models of them so their data can be saved, dates back to the 1990s and the necessary technology has continued to advance since then. By scanning the ancient buildings with lasers, building 3D models with multiple images, as well as measuring everything precisely, engineers can make a copy as accurate as the real one. As computers and smartphones are hugely popular, the digital replica (复制品) has great use value. First, it allows tourists to feel the cultural relics without touching them, which helps protect them. The virtual tour of Dunhuang Grottoes in Gansu Province is a good example of this as tourists can view the paintings without standing near them. Furthermore, it can make the digitized cultural relics more famous by spreading awareness about them via the Internet. In 2000, a virtual tour of the Great Wall became very popular at the Hannover World Expo, which increased the number of foreign tourists visiting the site in the following years. Above all, it preserves all the information of the cultural relics. Even if the original ones are damaged one day, people can still know what they were like and can build a replica if desired. Of course, however precise a model is, it is not the original. Time is the biggest threat to a country’s architectural heritage, which will always become ruins with the passing of the time. Maybe we will have better technologies in the future, but the digital technology offers a practical way to preserve architectural heritage at the moment. 1．What can we see about Notre Dame in the game? A．The damaged parts. B．The big fire. C．Its wooden shape. D．Its original look. 2．What will engineers do to create a digital replica of the ancient buildings? A．Improve the technology needed. B．Scan the photos of the buildings. C．Measure all the parts exactly. D．Build 3D models of full size. 3．What value does a digital replica have? A．It keeps the relics safe. B．It advertises the history of the relics. C．It helps to guard the relics. D．It gathers data of the relics. 4．How does the author prove the digital copy has vital practical importance? A．By comparison. B．By listing data. C．By giving examples. D．By classification. 5．What is the author’s attitude towards the application of digital technology? A．Doubtful. B．Conservative. C．Delighted. D．Supportive. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文以巴黎圣母院大火为例，提出了文物保护的问题。现在随着虚拟现实技术以及数字技术的发展，为保护建筑文化遗产提供了一种很好的方式。 1．细节理解题。根据“In this game, the player can travel to one city after another and enter the buildings exactly like what they are in reality, and see Notre Dame as it was before the fire.”可知，在这款游戏中，玩家可以前往一个又一个城市，并进入与现实中完全一样的建筑，并看到火灾前的巴黎圣母院。所以是可以看到巴黎圣母院的原始外貌。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“By scanning the ancient buildings with lasers, building 3D models with multiple images, as well as measuring everything precisely, engineers can make a copy as accurate as the real one.”可知，通过用激光扫描古建筑，建立包含多个图像的3D模型，以及精确地测量一切，工程师们可以制造出与真实建筑一样精确的复制品。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“Even if the original ones are damaged one day, people can still know what they were like and can build a replica if desired.”可知，即使原来的那些有一天被损坏了，人们仍然可以知道它们是什么样子，如果需要的话，可以建造一个复制品。所以推知数字副本确保文物的安全。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据“The virtual tour of Dunhuang Grottoes in Gansu Province is a good example of this as tourists can view the paintings without standing near them.”可知，甘肃省敦煌石窟的虚拟之旅就是一个很好的例子，游客不用站在石窟附近就能看到壁画。所以作者通过实例证明数字拷贝具有至关重要的现实意义。故选C。 5．观点态度题。根据“Maybe we will have better technologies in the future, but the digital technology offers a practical way to preserve architectural cultural heritage at the moment.”可知，也许未来我们会有更好的技术，但数字技术提供了一种切实可行的方式来保护建筑文化遗产。由此推断作者对数字技术的应用是支持的态度。故选D。 You might think math and art are very different. However, they have many surprising relations. Understanding these links can help students learn better by mixing different subjects. First, let’s talk about the golden ratio (比例), a special number in math. It’s about 1.618 and appears in many artworks. For example, artists use it to create balanced and beautiful paintings. Take Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa as an example. The way Mona Lisa is placed in the picture follows the golden ratio. When you learn about this ratio in math class and then see it in art, you understand both subjects more deeply. Geometry (几何学), another area of math, is also important in art. Shapes and angles help artists draw things that look real. In Leonardo da Vinci’s drawing Vitruvian Man, circles and squares show how math can measure (测量) the human body. By studying geometry in art, students learn to notice shapes more carefully. Besides, modern buildings also use geometric shapes creatively, like the spiral (螺旋形) design of the Guggenheim Museum. * Scientists use numbers to describe different colors. The RGB color model uses numbers for red, green, and blue. Artists use this to mix the right colors for their paintings. When students learn about color models in science and apply them in art, they become more creative. They can even use simple rules to pick colors for digital art, connecting technology, math, and art. Studying math and art together not only improves their skills in both subjects but also helps them to think in new ways. Next time you draw a picture or solve a math problem, remember: math and art are like two sides of one coin. 1．According to the passage, what can the golden ratio help artists do? A．Take beautiful photos. B．Create balanced paintings. C．Choose right colors. D．Measure the human body. 2．What is the main purpose of Paragraph 3? A．To show the history of geometry. B．To introduce Leonardo da Vinci’s works. C．To explain how geometry helps in art. D．To compare different art styles. 3．Which of the following can be put in * . A．However, artists never use math in choosing colors. B．Math even plays a role in the world of colors. C．Students should learn more about colors in art class. D．Scientists and artists always work together. 4．What does the underlined word “apply” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Use. B．Change. C．Forget. D．Teach. 5．Which would be the best theme (主题) picture of the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文探讨了数学与艺术的联系，通过黄金比例、几何学和色彩模型等例子，说明跨学科学习如何提升理解力和创造力。 1．细节理解题。根据第2段“For example, artists use it to create balanced and beautiful paintings.”可知，黄金比例帮助创作平衡的画作。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据“Geometry (几何学), another area of math, is also important in art. Shapes and angles help artists draw things that look real....”及第3段可知，本段通过《维特鲁威人》和古根海姆博物馆等例子，说明几何学如何辅助艺术创作。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“Scientists use numbers to describe different colors. The RGB color model uses numbers for red, green, and blue.”可知，本段讲的是数学在色彩领域的应用，B项“数学甚至在色彩世界中也扮演着重要的角色。”符合语境。故选B。 4．词句猜测题。根据第4段“When students learn about color models in science and apply them in art, they become more creative. They can even use simple rules to pick colors for digital art, connecting technology, math, and art.”可知，这里讲的是学生是如何将色彩模型应用于艺术中的，“apply”表示“应用”。故选A。 5．推理判断题。全文围绕数学与艺术的交叉关系展开，强调两者结合的价值，D选项的图案同时包含几何、艺术、人的身体比例等元素，最能体现本篇文章主题，故选D。 20 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 25 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
