He wanted to hold the party on Roblox, a website where users can play and create games. Roblox is part of the metaverse. This is a virtual-reality space. There, users can interact with other people and digital environments. Virtual reality is a three-dimensional simulation of a real-life image or environment. “They hung out and played, ” Hackl said, “Just because it happens in a virtual space doesn’t make it less real.” The term metaverse has become popular. Today, people are spending more of their lives in virtual spaces. The word metaverse comes from a science fiction book from the 1990s. But the metaverse has been around longer than that. Online communities have existed since the 1980s. We enter the metaverse through a screen. This could be through virtual reality(VR). It could also be through augmented reality(AR). Augmented reality covers computer-generated images on the real world. These experiences create a greater blending of our virtual and real lives. But these two worlds already cannot be separated and we don’t even need any headsets, such as VR glasses. Think about the Didi Taxi app. It uses location data to tell drivers where their cars are. The metaverse is an expansion of the Internet. There are lots of Internet problems to solve already. Still, many people say it has real benefits. They say it can increase social networks and improve mental health. Hackl is a metaverse expert, and she’s African. She says, “You can encourage a lot more people to join and build social relations.” For those already spending part of their life in the metaverse, that building has begun. Carrie Tatsu runs a business in the metaverse. But she wants her kids to spend time in the real world. “It’s so important for humans to be with humans in real life, ” she said, “I think as kids grow up in this space, it’s important for them to take part, go smell a flower here, walk on a trail, have a real conversation with a friend. Even though you can simulate that, the simulation is not the same. ” 8. How does the writer lead in metaverse in Paragraph 1? A. By telling stories. B. By listing numbers. C. By describing people. D. By comparing facts. 9. What does the underlined word “blending” mean? A. Changing. B. Entering. C. Mixing. D. Reaching. 10. What’s the structure of the passage? A B. C. D. 11. Which of the following can be the title for the passage? A. Metaverse: virtual spaces online. B. Metaverse: a science-fiction book. C. Metaverse: a popular computer game. D. Metaverse: businesses on the Internet. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了元宇宙这种在线虚拟空间。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Cathy Hackl’s son wanted a party for his 9th birthday.

However, in adolescence (青春期) changes to the body’s sleep cycle make it difficult for teens to fall asleep early. Many cannot fall asleep until 10:30 p.m. or even later and most of them will feel sleepy if they have to get up too early. Scientists recommend that both middle and high schools begin no earlier than 8:30 a.m. Later school start times support the natural needs of teenagers and increase their sleeping time. Here are some other benefits of later school start times: More time for a healthy breakfast When running late in the mornings, students are likely to go without breakfast. With an empty stomach, one finds it difficult to focus (集中) in class. When they are always in a hurry, students may form unhealthy eating habits. With extra time before going to school, students can eat a well-balanced breakfast and focus more on learning. Fewer behavioral (行为的) problems Teens experience mood changes as a common result of this special period of life. Less sleep may cause worries, stress and unhappiness. When they get enough sleep, students are calm and peaceful and their moods do not change suddenly. They’re less likely to feel worried, unhappy or get angry. For parents, children with more sleep are easier to live with. Better performance (表现) in study Sleep loss hurts attention, memory and brain development. Students with less sleep have difficulty paying attention in class and are likely to have lower grades. Students with enough sleep can be more energetic during the day and more willing to learn. They are also less likely to fall asleep in class and more able to understand what they learn. In conclusion, starting school later helps students get a better night’s sleep. It improves their chances of eating, behaving and performing better. 12. According to the passage, what may cause teenagers to stay up? A. Their low grades. B. Their empty stomachs. C. Their body’s sleep cycle. D. Their heavy homework. 13. How can sleep loss influence students’ study? A. It gives them much energy. B. It does harm to the brain. C. It saves more time for study. D. It improves their memory. 14. What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To explain reasons for students’ stress. B. To describe bad habits caused by sleep loss. C. To discuss scientists’ research on healthy food. D. To introduce benefits of later school start times. 15. In which part of the website can you probably find this passage? A. Education. B. Fashion. C. Sports. D. Technology. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了推迟学生上学时间的一些好处。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据“However, in adolescence changes to the body’s sleep cycle make it difficult for teens to fall asleep early.”可知青少年身体睡眠周期的变化是他们难以入睡。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Sleep loss hurts attention, memory and brain development.

Personalized learning: AI can know better about students, including their advantages, weaknesses, skills, learning favorites, learning needs, and so on. Then it can create a proper learning plan for each student. This can help students concentrate on areas that they need to improve at their own speed. Interactive (交互的) learning: AI has the ability to make learning more interactive and interesting. Things like interactive learning apps and educational games can make subject learning more interesting. What’s more, they can make students interested in a subject at once. This kind of active learning is sure to be more helpful than studying alone. Automated (自动的) advice and help: AI can provide automated advice and answers to questions. It can examine students’ work and provide personalized help. For example, ChatGPT can answer students’ questions quickly in a private, low-pressure way. This kind of advice and answers can help students better understand knowledge and use their knowledge. Greater resources (资源): AI can make many of the students’ learning resources richer and wider, like electronic textbooks, online courses, and study apps. For example, a biology textbook with AI technology may provide interactive 3D models of a human body that students can study more carefully. AI can provide interactive examples, introduce important passages, and offer assessments (评价). In a word, AI has a great ability to improve studying and learning. By using AI, students can study smarter and reach higher levels of learning and success. The future of AI in education is hopeful as technologies continue to develop. 4. What can AI do by knowing better about students? A. Get more learning experiences. B. Find out students’ learning speed. C. Know more about learning favorites. D. Offer proper personal learning plans. 5. How might students feel about educational games? A. Traditional. B. Interesting. C. Difficult. D. Knowledgeable. 6. Why does the writer give an example of a biology textbook in Paragraph 5? A. To show biology is easy to learn. B. To describe something more about 3D. C. To introduce a way of assessment. D. To show AI can provide rich resources. 7. What’s the best title (标题) for this passage? A. AI—a smart help for learning B. AI needs new technologies C. AI is much better than a teacher D. AI—hopeful or hopeless C Cathy Hackl’s son wanted a party for his 9th birthday. He wanted to hold the party on Roblox, a website where users can play and create games. Roblox is part of the metaverse. This is a virtual-reality space. There, users can interact with other people and digital environments. Virtual reality is a three-dimensional simulation of a real-life image or environment. “They hung out and played, ” Hackl said, “Just because it happens in a virtual space doesn’t make it less real.” The term metaverse has become popular. Today, people are spending more of their lives in virtual spaces. The word metaverse comes from a science fiction book from the 1990s. But the metaverse has been around longer than that. Online communities have existed since the 1980s. We enter the metaverse through a screen. This could be through virtual reality(VR). It could also be through augmented reality(AR). Augmented reality covers computer-generated images on the real world. These experiences create a greater blending of our virtual and real lives. But these two worlds already cannot be separated and we don’t even need any headsets, such as VR glasses. Think about the Didi Taxi app. It uses location data to tell drivers where their cars are. The metaverse is an expansion of the Internet. There are lots of Internet problems to solve already. Still, many people say it has real benefits. They say it can increase social networks and improve mental health. Hackl is a metaverse expert, and she’s African. She says, “You can encourage a lot more people to join and build social relations.” For those already spending part of their life in the metaverse, that building has begun. Carrie Tatsu runs a business in the metaverse. But she wants her kids to spend time in the real world. “It’s so important for humans to be with humans in real life, ” she said, “I think as kids grow up in this space, it’s important for them to take part, go smell a flower here, walk on a trail, have a real conversation with a friend. Even though you can simulate that, the simulation is not the same. ” 8. How does the writer lead in metaverse in Paragraph 1? A. By telling stories. B. By listing numbers. C. By describing people. D. By comparing facts. 9. What does the underlined word “blending” mean? A. Changing. B. Entering. C. Mixing. D. Reaching. 10. What’s the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 11. Which of the following can be the title for the passage? A. Metaverse: virtual spaces online. B. Metaverse: a science-fiction book. C Metaverse: a popular computer game. D. Metaverse: businesses on the Internet. D Teenagers need eight to ten hours of sleep per night. However, in adolescence (青春期) changes to the body’s sleep cycle make it difficult for teens to fall asleep early. Many cannot fall asleep until 10:30 p.m. or even later and most of them will feel sleepy if they have to get up too early. Scientists recommend that both middle and high schools begin no earlier than 8:30 a.m. Later school start times support the natural needs of teenagers and increase their sleeping time. Here are some other benefits of later school start times: More time for a healthy breakfast When running late in the mornings, students are likely to go without breakfast. With an empty stomach, one finds it difficult to focus (集中) in class. When they are always in a hurry, students may form unhealthy eating habits. With extra time before going to school, students can eat a well-balanced breakfast and focus more on learning. Fewer behavioral (行为的) problems Teens experience mood changes as a common result of this special period of life. Less sleep may cause worries, stress and unhappiness. When they get enough sleep, students are calm and peaceful and their moods do not change suddenly. They’re less likely to feel worried, unhappy or get angry. For parents, children with more sleep are easier to live with. Better performance (表现) in study Sleep loss hurts attention, memory and brain development. Students with less sleep have difficulty paying attention in class and are likely to have lower grades. Students with enough sleep can be more energetic during the day and more willing to learn. They are also less likely to fall asleep in class and more able to understand what they learn. In conclusion starting school later helps students get a better night’s sleep. It improves their chances of eating, behaving and performing better. 12. According to the passage, what may cause teenagers to stay up? A. Their low grades. B. Their empty stomachs. C. Their body’s sleep cycle. D. Their heavy homework. 13. How can sleep loss influence students’ study? A. It gives them much energy. B. It does harm to the brain. C. It saves more time for study. D. It improves their memory. 14. What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To explain reasons for students’ stress. B. To describe bad habits caused by sleep loss. C. To discuss scientists’ research on healthy food. D. To introduce benefits of later school start times. 15. In which part of the website can you probably find this passage? A. Education. B. Fashion. C. Sports. D. Technology. 第二节 任务型阅读(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下列材料，从A—E五个选项中选出正确选项 (其中一项为多余)，并将序号填入1-4小题，并回答第5小题。注意：将35题的答案写在非选择题部分的相应位置。 The depression (抑郁) in my heart is like a black dog, and it bites me whenever it gets the chance.—By Winston Churchill (丘吉尔).
