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 (互动) 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 (吃亏，失败) 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 (代替) the relationship that teachers have with their students.

Passage 2 (25-26八上·湖北武汉一初慧泉中学·) _______________ A town in Finland has begun using the world’s largest “sand battery” to help provide heat.

A sand battery works because sand can be heated to very high temperatures. In a well-insulated (绝缘的) container, sand can hold this heat for a long time. A New Method (方法) To Count Turtles Scientists from the University of Florida have recently developed a more accurate method of counting the Giant South American River turtles. Dr. Brack points out that it is important for protecting them. Without the method, it’s difficult to know if the numbers are going up or down.

Scientists Create World’s Tiniest Violin Scientists at Loughborough University in the United Kingdom have created “the world’s smallest violin”. The tiny violin, made of a metal called platinum, measures just 35 microns (微米) long and 13 microns wide.

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 (互动) 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 (吃亏，失败) 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 (代替) 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 (成人) to talk to when they are worried about something. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By telling a joke. B．By explaining a reason. C．By describing a scene (场景). D．By using a famous saying. 2．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? 3．What is one advantage of AI teachers mentioned in the passage? A．They can encourage students to think of new ideas. B．They can change how people interact with each other. C．They can teach subjects that human teachers find difficult. D．They can help each student with their own learning problems. 4．What does the underlined word “lacks” mean? A．is short of B．is interested in C．is tired of D．is famous for 5．What will happen if AI replaces (代替) 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】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．A 5．D 【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。 1．细节理解题。根据“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.”可知，文章开头先描述了学生在课堂中使用AI学习数学的场景，引出话题，故选C。 2．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。 3．细节理解题。根据“AI can work out difficult problems very quickly. It can find gaps (空白) in a child’s learning and fill them.”可知，文中提到AI可以“找出并弥补学生学习中的空白”，即根据每个学生的不同情况进行针对性帮助，故选D。 4．词句猜测题。根据划线词后“Why not let AI teachers fill the gap?”可知，后文提到了让人工智能教师来填补这一空白，因此lack”表示“缺少”，故选A。 5．细节理解题。根据“If AI takes the place of teachers, students won’t have as many trusted adults (成人) 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。 Passage 2 (25-26八上·湖北武汉一初慧泉中学·) _______________ A town in Finland has begun using the world’s largest “sand battery” to help provide heat. The unusual method of storing energy allows the town to create heat when electricity prices are cheap, and store it for long periods of time. A sand battery works because sand can be heated to very high temperatures. In a well-insulated (绝缘的) container, sand can hold this heat for a long time. A New Method (方法) To Count Turtles Scientists from the University of Florida have recently developed a more accurate method of counting the Giant South American River turtles. Dr. Brack points out that it is important for protecting them. Without the method, it’s difficult to know if the numbers are going up or down. The scientists plan to keep working to improve the method. They believe the method could be used to count other kinds of animals, too. Scientists Create World’s Tiniest Violin Scientists at Loughborough University in the United Kingdom have created “the world’s smallest violin”. The tiny violin, made of a metal called platinum, measures just 35 microns (微米) long and 13 microns wide. This means that the violin is even thinner than a human hair, so it can only be seen with a powerful microscope. The tiny violin wasn’t designed to be played, but to test new technology for building extremely small things. 1．In which SECTION of the newspaper can we read the news? A．Discovery. B．Travel. C．Technology. D．Environment. 2．Which of the following is the best title for the first piece of news? A．How Sand Batteries Work. B．A New Way to Heat Homes. C．A Town in Finland Uses Sand to Store Heat. D．Why Sand is the Best Material for Storing Energy. 3．Why is an accurate count of the turtles important, according to Dr. Brack? A．Because it helps to build more nesting sites. B．Because it is difficult to know their population without it. C．Because it can attract more scientists to the University of Florida. D．Because it helps the turtles to find more food. 4．What was the real purpose of making the tiny violin? A．To play music. B．To sell it for money. C．To test new technology. D．To break a world record. 5．What do the three pieces of news have in common? A．They are all about new world records. B．They all involve scientists from European universities. C．They are all related to environmental protection. D．They all describe new technologies for solving problems. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文介绍了三则新闻，主要内容是科学新发现和研究成果。 1．推理判断题。根据“A town in Finland has begun using the world’s largest ‘sand battery’ to help provide heat.”；“Scientists from the University of Florida have recently developed a more accurate method of counting the Giant South American River turtles.”以及“Scientists at Loughborough University in the United Kingdom have created ‘the world’s smallest violin’.”可知，三则新闻都与科学新发现或技术创新密切相关，最适合刊登在报纸的科技版面。故选C。 2．最佳标题题。根据“A sand battery works because sand can be heated to very high temperatures. In a well-insulated (绝缘的) container, sand can hold this heat for a long time.”可知，第一则新闻的核心信息是芬兰某小镇用沙子来储存热量，因此选项C为最佳标题。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“Without the method, it’s difficult to know if the numbers are going up or down.”可知，如果没有这种方法，就很难知道数量是在增加还是减少。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据“The tiny violin wasn’t designed to be played, but to test new technology for building extremely small things.”可知，这把极其微小的小提琴并非用来演奏，而是为了测试建造极微小物品的新技术。故选C。 5．细节理解题。通读全文可知，三则新闻分别介绍了用沙子储热、统计乌龟数量的新方法，以及制作微型小提琴的新技术，都是利用技术来解决实际问题。故选D。 主题01 人与自我——个人兴趣与日常活动 Passage 1 (24-25八上·湖北洪湖·期末) Let’s enjoy a movie!

In Harry Potter: students catch the Hogwarts Express (霍格沃茨快车) from Platforms 9¾ at King’s Cross to go back to Hogwarts at 11 am. Usually on this day, fans dress as the characters (角色), take the real train and imagine they are going back to Hogwarts. This year, however, they couldn’t. That’s because there were too many fans every year. The station needs to help real passengers first. A forgotten chapter in history The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru made its world premiere (首映). The film tells the long-buried truth of the 1942 sinking of the Lisbon Maru, where 828 British prisoners (战俘) lost their lives.

It means travel like a soldier. It’s different from the relaxing kind of traveling that we all know. Visitors often go to a lot of places in a short period of time at a low cost, usually on weekends. Most of them are college students. “Such a trip can bring a different color to my stressful life,” says Chen, a 24-year-old university student. Because it is very energy-consuming (耗费体力), it is not suitable for everyone,” she adds. The city of Pontevedra in Spain is great for walking and cycling. People can’t drive in the city centre. They make 73% of journeys in the city on foot or by bike. Only 30% of the public space is for cars, 70% is for people. From 2001 to now, there are no deadly road accidents, and the CO2 level has gone down by 67% since the 1990s. Fun and Fitness on Bikes A cyclist dresses up during a 16-kilometer bike ride in Moscow during the spring 2023 Velofest. Velofest is a big cycling activity in Russia.
