The day Kim accepted Phil’s proposal of marriage, the couple decided to take engagement (订婚) photos in Park City, Utah. The snowy mountains created a picturesque background, which they believed would preserve their engagement memories forever. But little did they know this dreamy setting would turn into a chaotic mix of emotions. Not long into the shoot, Kim was surprised to find her engagement ring had slipped off when the photographer asked her to do a pose in which she placed her hand onto Phil’s chest. Kim remembered picking up snow and throwing it in the air minutes before. The odds were that the ring broke away from her finger then. Hearts sinking, they tracked back along their route. It was a fruitless search. They felt their blood freeze. Learning of it, the skiers nearby got involved. Hours passed and it seemed hopeless even with a metal detector. When told they would have to wait until spring to locate the ring, the couple were close to a mental breakdown. But then a blinding flash in the snow caught a skier’s eye. It was the diamond ring! Phil turned this wild adventure into something even more unforgettable. Accompanied by the cheers of kind strangers, he dropped to one knee, ring in hand, and proposed again. Kim was overcome with relief and joy. A moment of heartache turns into a life-long memory. The couple will look back on their engagement photos with laughter, tears and appreciation as they tell their story. 4. Why did the couple choose the snowy mountains as background? A. They were engaged in the snowy mountains of Park City. B. They wanted to take photos in a fashionable tourist spot. C. They thought the mountains would bring mixed feelings. D.

A skier used a flashlight to spot the ring. D. The ring reflected the sunlight. 7. Which saying best describes the story? A. Every cloud has a silver lining. B. It’s no use crying over spilt milk. C. No pain, no gain D. All roads lead to Rome 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Phil和Kim在雪山拍摄订婚照时弄丢戒指，后在陌生人帮助下找回戒指，还完成了一场难忘二次求婚的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第1段中“The snowy mountains created a picturesque background, which they believed would preserve their engagement memories forever.(雪山构成了一幅如诗如画的背景，他们认为这会永远留存下他们的订婚回忆)”可知，这对情侣选择雪山作为拍照背景是想留存持久的订婚回忆。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第2段中“Not long into the shoot, Kim was surprised to find her engagement ring had slipped off when the photographer asked her to do a pose in which she placed her hand onto Phil’s chest.(拍摄开始没多久，当摄影师让金摆一个把手放在菲尔胸口的姿势时，她惊讶地发现自己的订婚戒指掉了)”可知，金是在摆伸手姿势时发现戒指不见的。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第4段中“But then a blinding flash in the snow caught a skier’s eye. It was the diamond ring!(但就在这时，雪地里一道刺眼的闪光引起了一名滑雪者的注意。那正是那枚钻戒)”可知，是钻戒反射光线产生的闪光被滑雪者看到，才让戒指被找到。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第2段中“Hearts sinking, they tracked back along their route. It was a fruitless search. They felt their blood freeze.(他们心情沉重地沿路返回寻找，却一无所获，心都凉透了)”、第4段中“Accompanied by the cheers of kind strangers, he dropped to one knee, ring in hand, and proposed again. Kim was overcome with relief and joy.(在善良陌生人的欢呼声中，他手捧戒指单膝跪地，再次求婚。金沉浸在释然与喜悦之中)”以及最后一段“A moment of heartache turns into a life-long memory.(片刻的心痛化作了终生难忘的回忆)”可知，这对情侣先经历了丢戒指的焦急绝望，最终却迎来戒指失而复得、二次求婚的暖心结局，坏事最终变成了好事。“Every cloud has a silver lining” 意为“黑暗中总有一线光明”，最能概括这个故事；“It’s no use crying over spilt milk”意为“覆水难收”，“No pain, no gain”意为“一分耕耘一分收获”，“All roads lead to Rome”意为“条条大路通罗马”，均不符合故事主旨。故选A。 C A study published on Monday in The Annals of Internal Medicine led researchers to conclude that drinking a cup of coffee in the morning could be linked to a lower risk of death. Those who consumed 1.5 to 3.5 cups of coffee per day, even with a teaspoon of sugar, were up to 30 percent less likely to die during the study period than those who didn’t drink coffee. Those who preferred unsweetened coffee were 16 to 21 percent less likely to die during the study period, with those drinking about three cups per day having the lowest risk of death when compared with non-coffee drinkers. The U. K. Biobank, a large-scale medical database with health data from people all over Britain, provided the researchers with data on coffee consumption. The team then analyzed this data, as well as demographic data, lifestyle details, and dietary patterns collected from more than 170,000 participants aged 37 to 73 over a median follow-up period of seven years. The researchers found the risk of dying remained lower for people who drank both decaffeinated (不含咖啡因的) and caffeinated coffee. “It’s huge. There are very few things that reduce your risk of dying by 30 percent,” said Dr. Cristina Wee, an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. There are, however, major caveats to interpreting this research, she added. This is an observational study, which means the data cannot conclusively prove that coffee itself lowers the risk of dying; there may be other lifestyle factors contributing to that lower risk of dying among people who drink coffee, like a healthy diet or a consistent exercise routine. Despite the encouraging evidence about coffee, there isn’t enough data to suggest that people who don’t currently drink coffee should add a stop to Starbucks during their morning routines, Dr. Wee said. And even keen coffee drinkers shouldn’t use the study to justify endless cups of coffee. The study showed that the benefits of coffee reduced for people who drank more than 4.5 cups of coffee each day. Past studies have shown that consuming “extreme amounts” — over seven cups per day — can lead to adverse effects, she said. 8 Which of the following is a finding of the study? A. Decaffeinated coffee doesn’t help reduce death risk. B. Having moderate coffee intake may cut the death risk. C. Adding sugar to coffee may take away its good effects. D. Non-coffee drinkers tend to live longer than coffee lovers. 9. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. What amount of coffee brought the greatest benefit. B. How the study on coffee and death risk was conducted. C. How different coffee types influenced human health. D. Which age groups gained the most from coffee drinking. 10. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “caveats” in paragraph 4? A. Applications. B. Expansions. C. Foundations. D. Limitations. 11. What is Dr. Wee’s attitude towards coffee consumption? A. Cautious. B. Negative. C. Critical. D. Approving. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这一篇说明文。一项研究表明适量饮用咖啡（含咖啡因或不含咖啡因）可能降低死亡风险，但该研究存在局限性，专家建议人们谨慎看待，不可过量饮用。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Those who consumed 1.5 to 3.5 cups of coffee per day, even with a teaspoon of sugar, were up to 30 percent less likely to die during the study period than those who didn’t drink coffee. Those who preferred unsweetened coffee were 16 to 21 percent less likely to die during the study period, with those drinking about three cups per day having the lowest risk of death when compared with non-coffee drinkers.(那些每天饮用1.5至3.5杯咖啡（即便加了一茶匙糖）的人，在研究期间的死亡率比不喝咖啡的人低30%。那些偏好不加糖咖啡的人，在研究期间的死亡率也低16%至21%。与不喝咖啡的人相比，每天饮用约三杯咖啡的人死亡风险最低)”可知，该研究得出的结论是适量饮用咖啡可能降低死亡风险。故选B。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The U.K. Biobank, a large-scale medical database with health data from people all over Britain, provided the researchers with data on coffee consumption. The team then analyzed this data, as well as demographic data, lifestyle details, and dietary patterns collected from more than 170,000 participants aged 37 to 73 over a median follow-up period of seven years. The researchers found the risk of dying remained lower for people who drank both decaffeinated and caffeinated coffee.(英国生物银行是一个存有全英国人口健康数据的大型医疗数据库，它为研究人员提供了咖啡摄入量相关数据。随后，研究团队分析了这些数据，以及在七年中位随访期内，从17万余名37至73岁的参与者中收集到的人口统计数据、生活方式详情和饮食模式。研究人员发现，饮用含咖啡因咖啡和不含咖啡因咖啡的人群，死亡风险均相对更低)”可知，第二段主要讲了关于咖啡与死亡风险的研究是如何开展的。故选B。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“This is an observational study, which means the data cannot conclusively prove that coffee itself lowers the risk of dying; there may be other lifestyle factors contributing to that lower risk of dying among people who drink coffee, like a healthy diet or a consistent exercise routine.(这是一项观察性研究，这意味着这些数据无法确切证明咖啡本身能够降低死亡风险；可能还有其他生活方式因素（比如健康的饮食或规律的锻炼习惯）与喝咖啡的人群较低的死亡风险之间存在关联)”可知，该研究存在一些限制，不能确凿地证明咖啡本身能降低死亡风险，故划线词意思是“限制”。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Despite the encouraging evidence about coffee, there isn’t enough data to suggest that people who don’t currently drink coffee should add a stop to Starbucks during their morning routines, Dr. Wee said. And even keen coffee drinkers shouldn’t use the study to justify endless cups of coffee. The study showed that the benefits of coffee reduced for people who drank more than 4.5 cups of coffee each day. Past studies have shown that consuming “extreme amounts” — over seven cups per day — can lead to adverse effects, she said.(Wee博士表示，尽管有关咖啡的证据令人鼓舞，但目前尚无足够的数据表明那些目前不喝咖啡的人应该在日常早晨活动中取消去星巴克的行程。而且即便是热衷于喝咖啡的人也不应该将这项研究结果用作无限制饮用咖啡的正当理由。该研究显示，每天饮用超过4.5杯咖啡的人，咖啡带来的益处会减少。她还表示，以往的研究表明，摄入“过量”——每天超过7杯——可能会导致不良影响)”可知，Wee博士对饮用咖啡持谨慎态度。故选A。 D Artificial Intelligence is no longer a futuristic concept but a present-day reality, especially in education. Tools like AI tutors and automated writing assistants are becoming common in classrooms worldwide. While many educators welcome these changes for their efficiency, a growing debate concerns the potential downsides (缺点) of over-reliance on this technology. Supporters argue that AI offers personalization without equal. It can analyze a student’s performance in real-time, identify knowledge gaps, and provide tailored exercises, effectively acting as a private tutor for every learner. This can free up teachers from routine grading, allowing them to focus on more meaningful interactions and fostering critical thinking skills. Furthermore, AI can make learning more engaging through interactive simulations and provide access to vast resources, providing equal access to education for students in remote areas. However, critics warn of significant risks. The most pressing concern is the obstacle to the development of independent thinking. If students constantly turn to AI for instant answers and polished essays, they may skip the essential, though often frustrating, process of struggle and discovery. This struggle is where deep learning, problem-solving skills, and intellectual ability to recover are developed. Over-dependence on AI could lead to a generation that is skilled at using tools but lacks the fundamental ability to analyze and create by themselves. Moreover, an over-reliance on algorithmic (算法的) recommendations might create an “intellectual bubble” limiting students’ exposure to diverse perspectives and challenging viewpoints. The human element of a teacher — mentoring, inspiring, and understanding a student’s emotional state is something AI cannot imitate. In conclusion, AI is a powerful tool, but it should serve as an aid, not a replacement for the human core of education. The challenge for educators and students is to strike a balance. We must learn to take advantage of AI’s strengths for efficiency and personalization while consciously defending the space for critical thought, creativity, and the invaluable human connection that truly drives learning forward. 12. According to Para. 3, what is the main criticism of over-using AI? A. It is too expensive for schools to implement. B. It makes learning less interesting for students. C. It gives out wrong or misleading information. D. It prevents the growth of independent thinking. 13. The underlined phrase “intellectual bubble” in Para. 4 most likely refers to a situation where students ________. A. only care about AI-related subjects. B. grow less smart without a teacher’s help. C. see only algorithm-suggested content. D. face too many conflicting views and ideas. 14. What is the main argument of the passage regarding AI in education? A. It should entirely replace traditional teaching for greater efficiency. B. It is a powerful tool that needs caution to deal with its downsides. C. It enhances personalized learning but overlooks potential risks. D. It mainly threatens teachers’ job security all around the world. 15. Which is the best title of the text? A. AI in Education: A Double-Edged Sword Requiring Balance B. The Intellectual Bubble: A Risk of Over-Reliance on Algorithms C. AI’s Role in Education: Enhancing Efficiency and Personalization D. AI Tutoring Systems: Delivering Customized Educational Experiences 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了人工智能在教育领域的应用是一把双刃剑，需平衡利弊。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第三段“However, critics warn of significant risks. The most pressing concern is the obstacle to the development of independent thinking.(然而，批评者警告称存在重大风险。最紧迫的担忧是对独立思考发展的阻碍)”可知，过度使用人工智能的主要批评是它阻碍了独立思考的发展。故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。 根据第四段“Moreover, an over-reliance on algorithmic (算法的) recommendations might create an “intellectual bubble” limiting students’ exposure to diverse perspectives and challenging viewpoints. The human element of a teacher — mentoring, inspiring, and understanding a student’s emotional state is something AI cannot imitate.(此外，过度依赖算法推荐可能会制造一个“intellectual bubble”，限制学生接触多样化的观点和具有挑战性的见解。教师所具备的育人、启发以及理解学生情绪状态等人文特质，是人工智能无法模仿的)”可知，过度依赖算法推荐可能会限制学生接触到不同的观点和具有挑战性的观点，即学生只能看到算法建议的内容，从而形成“智力泡沫”。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。 根据最后一段“In conclusion, AI is a powerful tool, but it should serve as an aid, not a replacement for the human core of education. The challenge for educators and students is to strike a balance. We must learn to take advantage of AI’s strengths for efficiency and personalization while consciously defending the space for critical thought, creativity, and the invaluable human connection that truly drives learning forward.(总之，人工智能是一个强大的工具，但它应该作为一种辅助工具，而不是取代教育的核心——人类。教育工作者和学生的挑战是找到平衡。我们必须学会利用人工智能在效率和个性化方面的优势，同时有意识地捍卫批判性思维、创造力和真正推动学习前进的宝贵人际联系的空间)”可知，文章主要讨论了人工智能在教育中的强大作用以及需要谨慎对待其缺点，以找到平衡。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。 根据最后一段“In conclusion, AI is a powerful tool, but it should serve as an aid, not a replacement for the human core of education.

A certain trophy caught my eye and I picked it up. “Sunshine Primary School 2016 Basketball-Champion.” As I admired that trophy, I began to recall those incidents leading to how I received it. When I was in Primary Five, I was in the basketball school team. Every month, we would have a basketball match against another school’s basketball team. In spite of the amount of training we had, we had never won a single match before. That was due to our lack of teamwork. Our team would argue over little things and then, we would refuse to play after it. Our coach was at his wit’s end. Looking at the number of matches we had lost, I knew we had to do something. During one of our training sessions, our team split into two to have a match against each other. “Three, two, one, start!” our basketball coach, Coach Leong, yelled. John, who was in my team, managed to grab the ball that Coach Leong threw in the air. From the moment John grabbed the ball, he refused to let anyone take it. “Pass the ball to me, John!” I exclaimed. I was at a good position to shoot the ball into the hoop then. To my dismay, John made an annoying face at me. Out of frustration, I leapt towards John and made an attempt to snatch the ball, which turned out to be a battle between John and I. Coach Leong shook his head and boomed like an active volcano, “Children! Is this the type of behaviour I should be seeing from you? The match is in four weeks and if you are going to behave like this during the match, you will bring shame to me, the school and yourselves! Don’t you even know the importance of teamwork?” Coach Leong sighed and gave us a disappointed look. It seemed as if he had some sad news he hadn’t announced to us, but could not bear to do so. I was right. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右; 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 That day, Coach Leong announced that he would be retiring after our competition. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The day of the basketball match came. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 That day, Coach Leong announced that he would be retiring after our competition. His voice trembled with emotion as he shared the news, casting a somber mood over the team. Understanding dawned upon us — the upcoming game wasn’t just about winning; it was our last chance to honor Coach Leong’s dedication and years of hard work. We doubled our efforts during practices, focusing on coordination, trust, and passing rather than individual glory. Through sweat and perseverance, we gradually learned to function as a cohesive unit. The day of the basketball match arrived. For one final pep talk, Coach Leong’s eyes gleamed with a mixture of hope and pride, reminding us that this game was for him, for our school, and most importantly, for ourselves. Stepping onto the court, we played like never before — passing precisely, communicating effectively, and supporting each other at every turn. As the final whistle blew, marking our victory, tears welled up in Coach Leong’s eyes. Holding that championship trophy high, we knew we had not only won the game but also rediscovered the true essence of teamwork. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，主要介绍了作者在放学后坐在沙发上，看到奖杯时引发的回忆。作者在小学五年级时加入篮球队，并经历了多场失败的比赛，原因是团队缺乏合作。在一次训练中，作者和队友因争夺球权而发生冲突，教练对此表示失望，并强调了团队合作的重要性。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句“那天，梁教练宣布他将在比赛结束后退役。”可知，本段可描写教练宣布赛后退休，队员感动之下奋发图强，以团结协作为重，刻苦训练，旨在比赛中致敬教练的奉献。 ②由第二段首句“篮球比赛的日子到了。”可知，本段可描写比赛日到来，李教练深情激励球队，队员全力以赴，展现完美配合，最终获胜。 2.续写线索：宣布退休——决定回报——努力训练——比赛——获得胜利——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类： ①集中注意力：focus on/concentrate on ②进入：step onto/enter ③支持：support/back up 情绪类： ①沮丧的：somber/depresse ②坚持：perseverance/persistence 【点睛】【高分句型1】His voice trembled with emotion as he shared the news, casting a somber mood over the team.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】Holding that championship trophy high, we knew we had not only won the game but also rediscovered the true essence of teamwork.（运用了that引导的宾语从句，that被省略） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 重庆市第十八中学2025-2026学年高二（上）12月学习能力摸底 英语试题 考试说明：1. 考试时间120分钟 2. 试卷总分150分 3. 试卷页数6页 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

The day Kim accepted Phil’s proposal of marriage, the couple decided to take engagement (订婚) photos in Park City, Utah. The snowy mountains created a picturesque background, which they believed would preserve their engagement memories forever. But little did they know this dreamy setting would turn into a chaotic mix of emotions. Not long into the shoot, Kim was surprised to find her engagement ring had slipped off when the photographer asked her to do a pose in which she placed her hand onto Phil’s chest. Kim remembered picking up snow and throwing it in the air minutes before. The odds were that the ring broke away from her finger then. Hearts sinking, they tracked back along their route. It was a fruitless search. They felt their blood freeze. Learning of it, the skiers nearby got involved. Hours passed and it seemed hopeless even with a metal detector. When told they would have to wait until spring to locate the ring, the couple were close to a mental breakdown. But then a blinding flash in the snow caught a skier’s eye. It was the diamond ring! Phil turned this wild adventure into something even more unforgettable. Accompanied by the cheers of kind strangers, he dropped to one knee, ring in hand, and proposed again. Kim was overcome with relief and joy. A moment of heartache turns into a life-long memory. The couple will look back on their engagement photos with laughter, tears and appreciation as they tell their story. 4. Why did the couple choose the snowy mountains as background? A. They were engaged in the snowy mountains of Park City. B. They wanted to take photos in a fashionable tourist spot. C. They thought the mountains would bring mixed feelings. D.

No pain, no gain D. All roads lead to Rome C A study published on Monday in The Annals of Internal Medicine led researchers to conclude that drinking a cup of coffee in the morning could be linked to a lower risk of death. Those who consumed 1.5 to 3.5 cups of coffee per day, even with a teaspoon of sugar, were up to 30 percent less likely to die during the study period than those who didn’t drink coffee. Those who preferred unsweetened coffee were 16 to 21 percent less likely to die during the study period, with those drinking about three cups per day having the lowest risk of death when compared with non-coffee drinkers. The U. K. Biobank, a large-scale medical database with health data from people all over Britain, provided the researchers with data on coffee consumption. The team then analyzed this data, as well as demographic data, lifestyle details, and dietary patterns collected from more than 170,000 participants aged 37 to 73 over a median follow-up period of seven years. The researchers found the risk of dying remained lower for people who drank both decaffeinated (不含咖啡因的) and caffeinated coffee. “It’s huge. There are very few things that reduce your risk of dying by 30 percent,” said Dr. Cristina Wee, an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. There are, however, major caveats to interpreting this research, she added. This is an observational study, which means the data cannot conclusively prove that coffee itself lowers the risk of dying; there may be other lifestyle factors contributing to that lower risk of dying among people who drink coffee, like a healthy diet or a consistent exercise routine. Despite the encouraging evidence about coffee, there isn’t enough data to suggest that people who don’t currently drink coffee should add a stop to Starbucks during their morning routines, Dr. Wee said. And even keen coffee drinkers shouldn’t use the study to justify endless cups of coffee. The study showed that the benefits of coffee reduced for people who drank more than 4.5 cups of coffee each day. Past studies have shown that consuming “extreme amounts” — over seven cups per day — can lead to adverse effects, she said. 8. Which of the following is a finding of the study? A. Decaffeinated coffee doesn’t help reduce death risk. B. Having moderate coffee intake may cut the death risk. C. Adding sugar to coffee may take away its good effects. D. Non-coffee drinkers tend to live longer than coffee lovers. 9. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. What amount of coffee brought the greatest benefit. B. How the study on coffee and death risk was conducted. C. How different coffee types influenced human health. D. Which age groups gained the most from coffee drinking. 10. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “caveats” in paragraph 4? A. Applications. B. Expansions. C. Foundations. D. Limitations. 11. What is Dr. Wee’s attitude towards coffee consumption? A. Cautious. B. Negative. C. Critical. D. Approving. D Artificial Intelligence is no longer a futuristic concept but a present-day reality, especially in education. Tools like AI tutors and automated writing assistants are becoming common in classrooms worldwide. While many educators welcome these changes for their efficiency, a growing debate concerns the potential downsides (缺点) of over-reliance on this technology. Supporters argue that AI offers personalization without equal. It can analyze a student’s performance in real-time, identify knowledge gaps, and provide tailored exercises, effectively acting as a private tutor for every learner. This can free up teachers from routine grading, allowing them to focus on more meaningful interactions and fostering critical thinking skills. Furthermore, AI can make learning more engaging through interactive simulations and provide access to vast resources, providing equal access to education for students in remote areas. However, critics warn of significant risks. The most pressing concern is the obstacle to the development of independent thinking. If students constantly turn to AI for instant answers and polished essays, they may skip the essential, though often frustrating, process of struggle and discovery. This struggle is where deep learning, problem-solving skills, and intellectual ability to recover are developed. Over-dependence on AI could lead to a generation that is skilled at using tools but lacks the fundamental ability to analyze and create by themselves. Moreover, an over-reliance on algorithmic (算法的) recommendations might create an “intellectual bubble” limiting students’ exposure to diverse perspectives and challenging viewpoints. The human element of a teacher — mentoring, inspiring, and understanding a student’s emotional state is something AI cannot imitate. In conclusion, AI is a powerful tool, but it should serve as an aid, not a replacement for the human core of education. The challenge for educators and students is to strike a balance. We must learn to take advantage of AI’s strengths for efficiency and personalization while consciously defending the space for critical thought, creativity, and the invaluable human connection that truly drives learning forward. 12. According to Para. 3, what is the main criticism of over-using AI? A. It is too expensive for schools to implement. B. It makes learning less interesting for students. C. It gives out wrong or misleading information. D. It prevents the growth of independent thinking. 13. The underlined phrase “intellectual bubble” in Para. 4 most likely refers to a situation where students ________. A. only care about AI-related subjects. B. grow less smart without a teacher’s help. C. see only algorithm-suggested content. D. face too many conflicting views and ideas. 14. What is the main argument of the passage regarding AI in education? A. It should entirely replace traditional teaching for greater efficiency. B. It is a powerful tool that needs caution to deal with its downsides. C.

A certain trophy caught my eye and I picked it up. “Sunshine Primary School 2016 Basketball-Champion.” As I admired that trophy, I began to recall those incidents leading to how I received it. When I was in Primary Five, I was in the basketball school team. Every month, we would have a basketball match against another school’s basketball team. In spite of the amount of training we had, we had never won a single match before. That was due to our lack of teamwork. Our team would argue over little things and then, we would refuse to play after it. Our coach was at his wit’s end. Looking at the number of matches we had lost, I knew we had to do something. During one of our training sessions, our team split into two to have a match against each other. “Three, two, one, start!” our basketball coach, Coach Leong, yelled. John, who was in my team, managed to grab the ball that Coach Leong threw in the air. From the moment John grabbed the ball, he refused to let anyone take it. “Pass the ball to me, John!” I exclaimed. I was at a good position to shoot the ball into the hoop then. To my dismay, John made an annoying face at me. Out of frustration, I leapt towards John and made an attempt to snatch the ball, which turned out to be a battle between John and I. Coach Leong shook his head and boomed like an active volcano, “Children! Is this the type of behaviour I should be seeing from you? The match is in four weeks and if you are going to behave like this during the match, you will bring shame to me, the school and yourselves! Don’t you even know the importance of teamwork?” Coach Leong sighed and gave us a disappointed look. It seemed as if he had some sad news he hadn’t announced to us, but could not bear to do so. I was right. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右; 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 That day, Coach Leong announced that he would be retiring after our competition. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The day of the basketball match came. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
