A
At a summer camp, while you may have a long list of things to do during the day, you also need some evening activities.
Night Hikes
Night hikes are a fun evening activity for summer campers, especially older ones. Take a guided night hike, allowing yourself to experience nature in a different setting. Make sure that you wear appropriate clothes and always follow appointed paths. Plan the hike to ensure that you can return safely before it gets too late in the evening.
Movie Nights
Set up a screen and projector outdoors, and have a movie night under the stars. Prepare blankets, popcorn, and a comfortable spot for yourself to spread out and get comfortable. You should also consider other forms of seating, including chairs and picnic tables. It’s also a good idea to check the forecast. If there is rain, have alternative indoor summer camp activities.
Campfire Stories
Gather around a campfire for storytelling. The goal is to entertain and help campers bond. Select stories that suit the age and interests of your audience. You can also share experiences and horror stories. However, speaking aloud around the campfire is sometimes a struggle. Prepare some familiar stories in advance.
Campfire Rhythms
Instead of stories, you may prefer campfire rhythms. Bring out the guitars, drums, and other instruments for a beautiful evening. You can perform traditional camp songs or learn something new for the evening. The easiest option is to select a variety of songs that cater to all ages and musical tastes.
1. What should campers consider before taking night hikes?

B. Bonding and entertainment.
C. Audience’s age and interests.
D. Story selection and preparation.

My son’s swim coach requested all parents of fifth-grade swimmers to take part in a mini-competition. I was so nervous to race. I carefully climbed up and took my position above the clear water. A few seconds later, the coach blew her whistle (口哨) and we were off — off on the longest 50-meter swim I can ever remember.
While I couldn’t see or hear my son specifically, I knew he and his teammates were at the sides of the pool cheering the parents on. “Come on, Mom! Go, Dad!”
Not wanting to let down my son, I tried to kick harder and move my arms faster. But it felt like I was fighting the water, slowing down with every stroke (划水动作) I took.
I was happy to reach the side of the pool and for the race to be over. 50 meters is a long way when you’re working hard to prove yourself. My son’s smile was broad and bright. He gave me a high five and said, “Great job, Mom!”
Not one of those young swimmers turned away in anger or disappointment at the end of the parents’ swim. That pool area was filled with a lot of wet hugs, tons of laughter, and a whole lot of pride.
This experience taught me a lesson I never forgot. Maybe doing something that pushes us will help us remember that with each new chapter of our children’s lives they will run into new difficulties, too. Maybe what our kids need is our cheering them on, and then giving them a smile and a hug for their efforts. Maybe they need to know we don’t care about winners and losers and that we’re proud of them for entering the race, for facing their fears, and for diving in.
4. The author felt ______ before the race.
A. happy B. proud C. angry D. nervous
5. When the parents tried to finish the race, their kids ______.
A. were cheering the parents on B. turned away in disappointment
C. were having a language lesson D. worked hard to prove themselves

A. dived into the water B. felt angry about her
C. gave her a high five D. laughed at her
7. What can the author learn from the experience according to the last paragraph?
A. Children need parents’ love and support.
B. Parents can perform better than children.
C. Parents don’t need to face their fears.
D. Children never care about winners and losers.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. A

C
Most people feel sleepy and tired in the early afternoon, typically between 1 pm and 4 pm. This isn’t just due to a heavy lunch. It is due to the fact that our internal body clock, or circadian rhythm, creates cycles of wakefulness and sleepiness throughout the day. To fight against the sleepiness and tiredness, a nap (打盹) is usually recommended.
But napping too long may result in waking up feeling worse than before. Studies show that once a nap extends beyond 30 minutes, the brain enters the so-called slow-wave sleep. If people are waken up from a slow-wave sleep, they usually feel sleepier and more tired for up to an hour. It can lead to serious consequences if they have to perform safety-critical tasks or make important decisions during that period of time.
For some, napping is essential. Athletes often include it into their training schedules to speed up muscle recovery and improve performances. Similarly, people who regularly struggle to get enough sleep at night — whether due to work, parenting, or other demands — may benefit from it to make up for their sleep loss.
Despite the benefits, napping isn’t for everyone. Age, lifestyle, and sleep patterns all influence whether it helps or hurts. Done wisely, it can be a powerful way to recharge the brain, improve concentration, and support mental and physical health. Done poorly, it might be the reason why you’re staring at the ceiling at midnight. In addition, relying on it, instead of improving nighttime sleep, is a short-term fix rather than a sustainable solution.
To nap effectively, timing and environment matter. Keep naps between 10 and 20 minutes. The ideal time is before 2 pm-napping too late can push back the body’s natural sleep schedule. The best naps happen in a cool, dark and quiet environment, similar to nighttime sleep conditions. Eye covers and noise-canceling headphones can help, particularly for those who nap in bright or noisy settings.
8. What determines the cycles of wakefulness and sleepiness?
A. Diet. B. Age.
C. Lifestyle D. Circadian rhythm.
9. What can we infer about the slow-wave sleep according to paragraph 2?
A. It usually lasts half an hour.
B. It should not be interrupted.
C. It can lead to serious problems.
D. It makes people feel sleepier.
10. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The need of napping for some people.
B. The limitation of mid-day naps.
C. Timing and environment for quality naps.
D. Consequences of unwise napping.
11. What are people required to do to have effective naps?
A. Put on eye covers before taking naps.
B. Listen to soft music during naps.
C. Keep naps between 10 and 20 minutes.
D. Take naps between 1 pm and 4 pm.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了午后人们困倦的原因、打盹的利弊以及如何有效打盹。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“It is due to the fact that our internal body clock, or circadian rhythm, creates cycles of wakefulness and sleepiness throughout the day.(这是因为我们体内的生物钟,即昼夜节律,在一天中产生清醒和困倦的周期)”可知,决定清醒和困倦周期的是昼夜节律。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“If people are waken up from a slow - wave sleep, they usually feel sleepier and more tired for up to an hour. It can lead to serious consequences if they have to perform safety - critical tasks or make important decisions during that period of time.(如果人们从慢波睡眠中被唤醒,他们通常会在长达一个小时的时间里感到更困倦、更疲惫。如果他们在这段时间内必须执行安全关键任务或做出重要决定,可能会导致严重后果)”可知,慢波睡眠不应被打断。故选B。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“For some, napping is essential. Athletes often include it into their training schedules to speed up muscle recovery and improve performances. Similarly, people who regularly struggle to get enough sleep at night — whether due to work, parenting, or other demands — may benefit from it to make up for their sleep loss.(对一些人来说,打盹是必不可少的。运动员经常将其纳入训练计划,以加速肌肉恢复和提高表现。同样,那些经常在晚上难以获得足够睡眠的人 —— 无论是由于工作、育儿还是其他需求 —— 可能会从中受益,以弥补睡眠不足)”可知,该段主要讲一些人对打盹的需求。故选A。
【11题详解】
细节理解题型。根据最后一段“To nap effectively, timing and environment matter. Keep naps between 10 and 20 minutes.(为了有效打盹,时间和环境很重要。将打盹时间控制在 10 到 20 分钟之间)”可知,有效打盹需将时间控制在 10 到 20 分钟。故选C。

Will chatbots that can generate fascinating articles destroy education as we know it?
New York City’s Department of Education banned (禁止) the use of ChatGPT from school owned networks and devices, arguing that while it provides quick answers, it does not build critical thinking skills, which are necessary for academic and lifelong success.” However, banning AI tools from the classroom is a short-sighted response. Instead, we must find a way in which such technologies combine well with, rather than replace, student thinking.
Banning ChatGPT is impossible in practice. Students will find ways around it, which will cause a further defensive response from educators. It’s hard to believe that a close race between digitally fluent teenagers and their educators will end in a decisive victory for the latter. In fact, chat-bots may well speed up a trend toward valuing critical thinking. In a world where computers can fluently answer any question, students — and the rest of us — need to learn to ask better questions and critically evaluate AI-generated responses.
The key challenge is ensuring students still engage in deep thinking. GPT often generates text that is fluent and “reasonable” — but wrong. So using it requires the same mental heavy lifting that writing does: forming an opinion, creating an outline, picking which points to explain and which to drop, and looking for supporting facts. GPT and similar AI technology can help with those tasks, but they can’t — at least in the near future — put them all together. Writing a good essay still requires lots of human thought and work. Indeed, writing is thinking, and authentically good writing is authentically good thinking.
One approach is to focus on the process as much as the end result. For instạnce, teachers might require — and assess — four drafts of an essay. After all, as John McPhee, the famous writer, said, “The essence of the process is revision.” Each draft gets feedback from the teacher, from peers or even from a chatbot. Then the students produce the next draft, and so on.
Will AI one day outperform human beings not just in knowing but in thinking? Maybe, but for now, we must think for ourselves. Like any tool, GPT is an enemy of thinking only if we fail to find ways to make it our partner.
12. How does the author feel about the ban?
A. Favourable. B. Irresponsible. C. Unwise. D. Necessary.
13. Why is it impossible to ban ChatGPT in practice?
A. Because students will likely find solutions.
B. Because people treasure critical thinking.
C. Because ChatGPT will keep developing.
D. Because schools will defend the ban.
14. How does the author explain his idea in Paragraph 4?
A. By quoting others. B. By presenting figures.
C. By giving examples. D. By showing similarities.
15. What might be the best title of the text?
A. Is GPT a process or a result? B. Will GPT outperform students?
C. Are chatbots becoming a new trend? D. Will chatbots destroy education?
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了聊天机器人(如ChatGPT)对教育的影响,指出禁止其使用并非明智之举,而应探索如何将其与学生的思考相结合,强调了深度思考和批判性思维的重要性,并提出了通过写作过程来培养学生这些能力的方法。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“However, banning AI tools from the classroom is a short-sighted response.(然而,禁止在课堂上使用人工智能工具是一种短视的反应。)”可知,作者认为禁止ChatGPT是不明智的。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Banning ChatGPT is impossible in practice. Students will find ways around it, which will cause a further defensive response from educators.(实际上,禁止ChatGPT是不可能的。学生们会找到解决办法,这将引起教育者的进一步防御反应。)”可知,在实践中禁止ChatGPT是不可能的,因为学生们很可能会找到解决办法。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The key challenge is ensuring students still engage in deep thinking. GPT often generates text that is fluent and “reasonable” — but wrong. So using it requires the same mental heavy lifting that writing does: forming an opinion, creating an outline, picking which points to explain and which to drop, and looking for supporting facts. GPT and similar AI technology can help with those tasks, but they can’t — at least in the near future — put them all together. Writing a good essay still requires lots of human thought and work. Indeed, writing is thinking, and authentically good writing is authentically good thinking.(关键的挑战是确保学生仍然进行深度思考。GPT经常生成流畅且“合理”但错误的文本。因此,使用它需要和写作一样的脑力劳动:形成观点、创建大纲、选择要解释的要点和要删除的要点,以及寻找支持事实。GPT和类似的人工智能技术可以帮助完成这些任务,但至少在不久的将来,它们无法将所有这些任务整合在一起。写一篇好文章仍然需要大量的人类思考和工作。事实上,写作就是思考,真正好的写作就是真正好的思考。)”可知,作者在第四段通过展示GPT和写作的相似性来解释他的观点。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Will chatbots that can generate fascinating articles destroy education as we know it?(能够生成引人入胜的文章的聊天机器人会摧毁我们所知的教育吗?)”和文章接着讨论了禁止ChatGPT的不可行性、ChatGPT无法替代人类深度思考和写作过程、以及如何通过写作过程来培养学生的批判性思维和深度思考能力,由此可知,文章主要讨论了聊天机器人对教育的影响,特别是它们是否会摧毁教育,故选项D:“聊天机器人会摧毁教育吗?”最适合作为文章的标题。故选D。

A
At a summer camp, while you may have a long list of things to do during the day, you also need some evening activities.
Night Hikes
Night hikes are a fun evening activity for summer campers, especially older ones. Take a guided night hike, allowing yourself to experience nature in a different setting. Make sure that you wear appropriate clothes and always follow appointed paths. Plan the hike to ensure that you can return safely before it gets too late in the evening.
Movie Nights
Set up a screen and projector outdoors, and have a movie night under the stars. Prepare blankets, popcorn, and a comfortable spot for yourself to spread out and get comfortable. You should also consider other forms of seating, including chairs and picnic tables. It’s also a good idea to check the forecast. If there is rain, have alternative indoor summer camp activities.
Campfire Stories
Gather around a campfire for storytelling. The goal is to entertain and help campers bond. Select stories that suit the age and interests of your audience. You can also share experiences and horror stories. However, speaking aloud around the campfire is sometimes a struggle. Prepare some familiar stories in advance.
Campfire Rhythms
Instead of stories, you may prefer campfire rhythms. Bring out the guitars, drums, and other instruments for a beautiful evening. You can perform traditional camp songs or learn something new for the evening. The easiest option is to select a variety of songs that cater to all ages and musical tastes.
1. What should campers consider before taking night hikes?
A. Dress and security.
B. Bonding and entertainment.
C. Audience’s age and interests.
D. Story selection and preparation.

B. They are more popular than campfire stories.
C. They take place in an indoor screening room.
D. They offer various forms of free food services.

My son’s swim coach requested all parents of fifth-grade swimmers to take part in a mini-competition. I was so nervous to race. I carefully climbed up and took my position above the clear water. A few seconds later, the coach blew her whistle (口哨) and we were off — off on the longest 50-meter swim I can ever remember.
While I couldn’t see or hear my son specifically I knew he and his teammates were at the sides of the pool cheering the parents on. “Come on, Mom! Go, Dad!”
Not wanting to let down my son, I tried to kick harder and move my arms faster. But it felt like I was fighting the water, slowing down with every stroke (划水动作) I took.
I was happy to reach the side of the pool and for the race to be over. 50 meters is a long way when you’re working hard to prove yourself. My son’s smile was broad and bright. He gave me a high five and said, “Great job, Mom!”
Not one of those young swimmers turned away in anger or disappointment at the end of the parents’ swim. That pool area was filled with a lot of wet hugs tons of laughter, and a whole lot of pride.
This experience taught me a lesson I never forgot. Maybe doing something that pushes us will help us remember that with each new chapter of our children’s lives they will run into new difficulties, too. Maybe what our kids need is our cheering them on, and then giving them a smile and a hug for their efforts. Maybe they need to know we don’t care about winners and losers and that we’re proud of them for entering the race, for facing their fears, and for diving in.
4. The author felt ______ before the race.
A. happy B. proud C. angry D. nervous
5. When the parents tried to finish the race, their kids ______.
A. were cheering the parents on B. turned away in disappointment
C. were having a language lesson D. worked hard to prove themselves
6. When the race was over, the author’s son ______.
A. dived into the water B. felt angry about her
C. gave her a high five D. laughed at her
7. What can the author learn from the experience according to the last paragraph?
A. Children need parents’ love and support.
B. Parents can perform better than children.
C. Parents don’t need to face their fears.
D. Children never care about winners and losers.
C
Most people feel sleepy and tired in the early afternoon, typically between 1 pm and 4 pm. This isn’t just due to a heavy lunch. It is due to the fact that our internal body clock, or circadian rhythm, creates cycles of wakefulness and sleepiness throughout the day. To fight against the sleepiness and tiredness, a nap (打盹) is usually recommended.
But napping too long may result in waking up feeling worse than before. Studies show that once a nap extends beyond 30 minutes, the brain enters the so-called slow-wave sleep. If people are waken up from a slow-wave sleep, they usually feel sleepier and more tired for up to an hour. It can lead to serious consequences if they have to perform safety-critical tasks or make important decisions during that period of time.
For some, napping is essential. Athletes often include it into their training schedules to speed up muscle recovery and improve performances. Similarly, people who regularly struggle to get enough sleep at night — whether due to work, parenting, or other demands — may benefit from it to make up for their sleep loss.
Despite the benefits, napping isn’t for everyone. Age, lifestyle, and sleep patterns all influence whether it helps or hurts. Done wisely, it can be a powerful way to recharge the brain, improve concentration, and support mental and physical health. Done poorly, it might be the reason why you’re staring at the ceiling at midnight. In addition, relying on it, instead of improving nighttime sleep, is a short-term fix rather than a sustainable solution.
To nap effectively, timing and environment matter. Keep naps between 10 and 20 minutes. The ideal time is before 2 pm-napping too late can push back the body’s natural sleep schedule. The best naps happen in a cool, dark and quiet environment, similar to nighttime sleep conditions. Eye covers and noise-canceling headphones can help, particularly for those who nap in bright or noisy settings.
8. What determines the cycles of wakefulness and sleepiness?
A. Diet. B. Age.
C. Lifestyle D. Circadian rhythm.
9. What can we infer about the slow-wave sleep according to paragraph 2?
A. It usually lasts half an hour.
B. It should not be interrupted.
C. It can lead to serious problems.
D. It makes people feel sleepier.
10. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The need of napping for some people.
B. The limitation of mid-day naps.
C. Timing and environment for quality naps.
D. Consequences of unwise napping.
11. What are people required to do to have effective naps?
A. Put on eye covers before taking naps.
B. Listen to soft music during naps.
C. Keep naps between 10 and 20 minutes.
D. Take naps between 1 pm and 4 pm.
D
Will chatbots that can generate fascinating articles destroy education as we know it?
New York City’s Department of Education banned (禁止) the use of ChatGPT from school owned networks and devices, arguing that while it provides quick answers, it does not build critical thinking skills, which are necessary for academic and lifelong success.” However, banning AI tools from the classroom is a short-sighted response. Instead, we must find a way in which such technologies combine well with, rather than replace, student thinking.
Banning ChatGPT is impossible in practice. Students will find ways around it, which will cause a further defensive response from educators. It’s hard to believe that a close race between digitally fluent teenagers and their educators will end in a decisive victory for the latter. In fact, chat-bots may well speed up a trend toward valuing critical thinking. In a world where computers can fluently answer any question, students — and the rest of us — need to learn to ask better questions and critically evaluate AI-generated responses.
The key challenge is ensuring students still engage in deep thinking. GPT often generates text that is fluent and “reasonable” — but wrong. So using it requires the same mental heavy lifting that writing does: forming an opinion, creating an outline, picking which points to explain and which to drop, and looking for supporting facts. GPT and similar AI technology can help with those tasks, but they can’t — at least in the near future — put them all together. Writing a good essay still requires lots of human thought and work. Indeed, writing is thinking, and authentically good writing is authentically good thinking.
One approach is to focus on the process as much as the end result. For instạnce, teachers might require — and assess — four drafts of an essay. After all, as John McPhee, the famous writer, said, “The essence of the process is revision.” Each draft gets feedback from the teacher, from peers or even from a chatbot. Then the students produce the next draft, and so on.
Will AI one day outperform human beings not just in knowing but in thinking? Maybe, but for now, we must think for ourselves. Like any tool, GPT is an enemy of thinking only if we fail to find ways to make it our partner.
