His words touched (感动) many people. During the National Day holiday (国庆节), Meng did not rest. He worked for eight days in his family’s cornfield (玉米地). It rained a lot during the holiday, and machines could not harvest the corn (收割玉米). So Meng joined his father and they got in the corn by hand. He worked from morning to night every day. He was very tired, but he felt happy. He knew how hard farming was, and he was happy to help his parents. On the last afternoon of the holiday, he went back to his university (大学). He even brought some corn with him. Meng comes from a small village in Shandong. His parents are farmers. They make a living by farming and selling fruit. Meng’s older sister is also studying. That costs a lot. So his parents work very hard all the time. Meng is now studying at university. This was his first time returning home since school started. In the future, he wants to study harder. He hopes to use computers to make farming easier so that farmers like his parents will not have to work so hard. 1．Why does the writer open the text with Meng’s words? A．To make the story fun.

The child, Huang Zi, is a student at the Lianhuawan School of Guangdong. He’s in the fifth grade this autumn school year. “I was afraid some passengers stepping on the drinks might fall, so I cleaned it off at once.” Huang said. He also added the only thing that made him feel uneasy was that his parents found out he drank the drinks instead of water because of the video. According to Huang’s teacher, the boy’s grades are excellent and he also has a sense of humour. Huang often helps his parents with chores, and has good living habits. Huang’s mother said the video was taken by a passerby, and she didn’t know it until a colleague showed the video to her. However, she was not surprised by her son’s behavior. “Huang is outgoing and willing to take on responsibilities (承担责任).” she said. “We praised him while reminding him to avoid eating or drinking on the subway next time and to drink fewer drinks,” Huang’s mother said. As their family’s tradition, when something happens, Huang’s parents discuss with him. “The most important thing is to teach him that it’s OK to make mistakes.

There were some problems between my mother and me. In the past, she always asked me to be good at everything. I felt very tired of that. But when I started to share my ideas with her, things changed. I realised that the reason for her pushing (推动) me was that she wanted me to be able to take good care of myself in the future. I also told her that I needed more rest. Finally, we found the best way to solve this problem—to reduce some of my activities. As our relationship improved, my mother became more like a friend to me. When she was tired after working for a long time, I always told her some interesting things that happened at school to make her happy. My mother encouraged me a lot whenever I faced problems. Last month, I was seriously ill and couldn’t go to school. My grades dropped a lot. However, my mother didn’t blame (责怪) me but helped me with my studies. To improve my grades, I studied until late at night. My mother always stayed with me in my room. It warmed my heart. Luckily, my grades improved a lot. After the tests, I used my pocket money to buy a cake for her. The good grades were not only mine but also hers. Now I have realised how important communication is. If we stop arguing and start communicating with others, we will make a difference in our lives. 1．What was the best way to solve the problem between Andrew and his mother?

However, it is not true. Communication is a problem for children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here are some suggestions about getting on well with parents. Don’t argue with your parents. Don’t talk with your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t think over your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express (表达) yourself well if you are angry. Go for a walk to cool off and think about what you want to say to your parents. Try to reach an agreement. Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement, but try your best to understand them. Sometimes your parents might not accept your reasons for something. In these situations, it is important to show love and respect to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong. Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from yours. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them understand you better. A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. 1．Who might have trouble getting on with their parents according to the passage? A．Only school children.

Curiosity is like a spark (火花) that can start a fire of invention. It plays a very important role in the world of invention. When inventors are curious, they look at things in new ways. They wonder why things work the way they do and how they can be made better. For example, Thomas Edison was curious about light. He asked questions like “Why can’t we make a room brighter in a better way?” This curiosity led him to invent the light bulb. Without curiosity, many of the amazing inventions we use today might not exist (存在). We can do something to cultivate curiosity. First, we should ask a lot of questions. When we see something new or strange, we can ask “What is it?” “How does it work?” and “Why is it like this?” Don’t be afraid of looking silly. Any question can be a step towards discovery. Second, we can explore new places. A trip to a science museum or a nature park can open our eyes to new things. We might see strange animals or cool scientific displays that make us want to learn more. Third, we can try new hobbies. Whether it’s building model planes or growing plants, new hobbies can make us curious about different fields. 1．How does the writer develop his idea in Paragraph 2? A．By listing some numbers. B．By showing differences. C．By giving an example. D．By answering a question. 2．What does the underlined word “cultivate” mean? A．Invent. B．Develop. C．Realise. D．Satisfy. 3．When we see something new or strange, what should we do? A．Try to make it. B．Run away from it. C．Buy it and take care of it. D．Ask a lot of questions about it. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Everyone will be an inventor in the future. B．New hobbies are interesting and important. C．Many inventors are curious and hard-working. D．The importance of curiosity and how to cultivate it. Have you ever thought about how inventions change the world? Many great inventions have made our lives easier and more comfortable. Let’s look at two important inventions: the telephone and the Internet. The telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876. Before the telephone, people had to send letters to communicate with others far away. Letters could take days or even weeks to arrive. The telephone allowed people to talk to each other at once. This changed how businesses worked and how families stayed in touch. Today, telephones have become even more advanced (先进的). We use smartphones to make calls, send messages, take photos, and more. The Internet is another great invention that has changed the world. It was first developed in the 1960s for the U.S. military (军队). In the 1990s, it became available (可用的) to the public. The Internet allows people to get information from all over the world in seconds. We can learn new things, shop online, and communicate with people in different countries through email or video calls. It has also changed how we work and study. Many people now work from home using the Internet, and students can take online classes. Both the telephone and the Internet have had a huge effect on our lives. They show how inventions can connect people and make the world a smaller place. 1．Who invented the telephone? A．Thomas Edison. B．Alexander Graham Bell. C．The U.S. military. D．An unknown inventor. 2．How did people communicate with others far away before the telephone? A．By email. B．By video calls. C．By smartphones. D．By letters. 3．When did the Internet become available to the public? A．In 1876. B．In the 1960s. C．Recently. D．In the 1990s. 4．What can people do using the Internet according to the passage? A．Make telephone calls. B．Get information around the world. C．Invent new things. D．Send letters faster. 5．What do the telephone and the Internet have in common? A．They were invented in the same century. B．They were first used by the military. C．They connect people and change lives. D．They are used only for communication. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, DeepSeek, a Chinese AI company, has appeared as a pioneer in educational technology. Its latest model, DeepSeek-R1, combines advanced machine learning methods to provide personalized learning solutions for students worldwide. Unlike traditional AI models that depend on pre-programmed answers, DeepSeek-R1 uses reinforcement (强化) learning to drive human logical thinking. This allows it to guide students through problem-solving step by step, much like a patient teacher. For example, when a student struggles with a math problem, DeepSeek-R1 doesn’t just give the answer; it breaks down the logic, identifies mistakes, and encourages critical thinking. The model’s applications reach beyond academic (学术的) areas. In language learning, it analyzes students’ pronunciation through AI speech recognition and offers real-time responses. For teachers, DeepSeek-R1 can make lesson plans in line with curriculum standards and even predict students’ learning difficulties based on historical data. Its “adaptive testing” feature creates personalized quizzes that adjust difficulty according to individual progress. However, challenges remain. Critics argue that over-dependence on AI might reduce human interaction in education. DeepSeek’s developers address this by stressing its role as an “addition, not a replacement.” As Dr. Li, a DeepSeek researcher, stated, “Our goal is to free teachers from routine tasks so they can focus on inspiring creativity.” Looking ahead, DeepSeek aims to combine virtual reality (VR) and its platform, enabling students to explore historical events or scientific concepts in engaging 3D environments. While ethical (伦理的) debates about AI in education continue to exist, one thing is clear: tools like DeepSeek are reshaping how we learn, mixing technology with human wisdom. 1．What makes DeepSeek-R1 different from traditional AI models? A．It uses pre-programmed answers to solve problems. B．It takes the place of teachers in classrooms. C．It focuses on developing students’memory techniques. D．It employs reinforcement learning for logical thinking. 2．How does DeepSeek-R1 help as an educational technology? A．It can use AI speech recognition to record students’pronunciation. B．It can tailor suitable tests based on students’personal development. C．It can use historical data to solve students’learning difficulties. D．It can help teachers make lesson plans as well as curriculum standards. 3．What can be inferred about DeepSeek’s future plans? A．VR technology will improve interactive learning. B．It will replace all classroom activities. C．DeepSeek will reshape human wisdom. D．It focuses on ethical gains rather than educational values. 4．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To introduce DeepSeek products. B．To compare different AI models in education. C．To discuss AI’s role in transforming education. D．To complain about the risks of AI in academic areas. No question is too small when Kayla Chege, a high school student in Kansas, uses artificial intelligence (AI). She turns to AI for guidance on everything from back-to-school shopping to her birthday party planning. While you might think of AI as a homework helper for students, it is increasingly (渐增地) becoming a digital companion (陪伴) for many of them—offering not just answers, but also advice, emotional-support, and friendship. In a new study from Common Sense Media, a group that studies the healthy use of screens and digital media, researchers surveyed more than 1,000 teens in the US. The results show that over 70% of the teens have ever used AI as a companion. About one in three teens have used them for social interactions (互动) like emotional support or friendships, and they find these conversations with AI as satisfying as, or even more satisfying than, those with real-life friends. Despite half of the teens distrusting AI’s advice, one-third have discussed serious matters with it instead of with people. Those findings are worrisome, says Michael Robb, the study’s lead author. He points out that rapidly (快速地) growing AI, with few controls, is becoming as integrated with teenagers as smartphones and social media are. That means AI is no longer just a tool but is already becoming a necessary part of teens’ lives Why are so many teenagers turning to AI for companionship? This is mainly because AI could offer real benefits that meet their needs. AI friends can be personalized with different characteristics, offering conversations that feel human-like and giving emotional support. Talking to AI makes teens feel heard and understood, giving them a strong sense of comfort. As some teens say, it’s because AI “is always there for you”, “never gets bored with you” and “never judges you.” While the idea of an always-available friend sounds interesting, educators and researchers worry that relying (依赖) too much on AI could have harmful effects on teenagers. Teenage years are an important time for developing a strong sense of self as well as social abilities. If teens always turn to AI for advice, agreement and comfort, they may miss chances to think on their own, learn how to deal with disagreements and understand others’ emotions. This could finally weaken their ability to form and keep real-life friendships. Moreover, AI may sometimes share misleading information or offer poor advice, which can be risky for young users. As more teens consider AI as a companion, Robb warns that it should be a wake-up call for parents, teachers, and the government; that is, there could be huge risks when choosing AI for companionship over real-life friends. 1．Why does the writer use the example of Kayla Chege in Paragraph 1? A．To lead into a topic. B．To explain an idea. C．To stress a difference. D．To suggest a solution. 2．The underlined words “integrated with” in Paragraph 3 probably mean ________. A．really harmful to B．strongly doubted by C．highly encouraging for D．closely connected to 3．What can we learn from the passage? A．Misusing AI may lead to a loss of privacy. B．Most teens choose AI companions over real people. C．Overusing AI may cause teens to fail socially in real life. D．Teens become less satisfied with themselves when using AI. 4．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．AI: The Best Friend for Teens B．AI Friends: Promise or Problem C．AI: What Can Teens Learn from it D．AI Friends: Risking a Lot for Nothing Rules are everywhere.

Sometimes we may think some rules in our lives are awful. These rules just seem to stop us from having fun. But in fact, those rules are very important and they help us a lot. At school, there are rules to help us study well and stay safe. We have to arrive at school on time. This helps us start our study well. In class, we need to raise our hands before speaking. This shows respect for our teachers and classmates, and also gives everyone a chance to share their ideas. We shouldn’t run in the classrooms or hallways because it could be dangerous. In our family, there are rules too. We should do our homework before watching TV. This helps us be responsible (有责任心的) for our study. We also need to help our parents do some housework like washing our clothes or tidying up our rooms. It makes us feel like we are an important part of our family and teaches us about cooperation (合作) and the meaning of hard work. Rules are really important. They keep us safe, healthy and happy and they also help us become better people. Following the rules can make our lives more wonderful. Let’s always remember to follow the rules and make our lives more wonderful! 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By telling a story. B．By asking a question. C．By giving an example.

What to do during an earthquake Inside: Don’t stand in a doorway. You are safer under a table. Outside: Move away from buildings, trees, and gas lines. In a crowded place: Drop down onto the floor, cover your head and neck, and hold on to something safe. In a theatre: Stay in your seat. Protect your head and neck with your arms or any way possible. Earthquake warning People may get warnings of an earthquake before it arrives. How does this work? There are many seismometers (地震监测波) in different areas. When the earth starts shaking, the machines quickly tell how strong it is and then send a warning before the earthquake waves arrive in other areas further away. 1．What should you do when you are outside during an earthquake?

For many people in Hainan, July 18, 2014, is a date they can’t forget—the day Super Typhoon Rammasun (超强台风威马逊) hit. It was the strongest typhoon to hit China in over 40 years.   Chen Wei, now 35, remembers clearly: “When the typhoon came, I was home with my family. The wind was terrifying—rain sounded like rocks hitting our roof. Suddenly, the power went out. We heard trees breaking outside. My dad tried to close the windows, but the wind was too strong—it broke the glass. We spent the whole night in the dark.”   Shop owner Li Fang in Haikou recalls: “I was in my store when it hit. The wind blew the door open and rain poured in. I tried to shut it, but I couldn’t. After the storm, the streets were covered with broken branches, fallen signs, and even overturned cars. It took weeks to clean up.”   Hainan often gets typhoons, but Rammasun was different. With winds reaching 216 km/h, it destroyed homes, uprooted trees, and left millions without power. The typhoon caused huge damage and took lives. Why do people remember disasters so clearly? Because they bring strong feelings-fear, shock and sadness. For Hainan people, Rammasun wasn’t just a storm - it changed their lives. After that, schools in Hainan taught students how to stay safe in storms. Students could have some lessons like Why storms happen, What to do when a storm comes, and How to help others. Today, Hainan has better typhoon protection. But those who lived through it will never forget nature’s fury that day. 1．What was Chen Wei doing when the typhoon hit?

A． B． C． 4．Typhoon Rammasun ______________. A．hit Hainan on July 18, 2013 B．had winds that reached 216 km/h C．is the strongest typhoon in the world 5．Which is incorrect (不正确的) after Rammasun hit Hainan. A．Schools started teaching storm safety lessons B．People feel more afraid when storms come now. C．Hainan improved its typhoon warning systems. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 期末复习之阅读理解12篇 （Units1-6单元话题） 单元 单元话题 Unit 1 This is me 个人信息 Unit 2 Getting along 与人相处 Unit 3 Make it happen! 发明创造 Unit 4 Digital life 科学技术 Unit 5 Play by the rules 规则与制度 Unit 6 When disaster strikes 自然灾害 本资料共12篇专题训练，从上到下每单元依次对应2篇单元话题专题训练 “I do more, so my parents do less.” The words are from a 19-year-old boy named Meng Cheng.

There were some problems between my mother and me. In the past, she always asked me to be good at everything. I felt very tired of that. But when I started to share my ideas with her, things changed. I realised that the reason for her pushing (推动) me was that she wanted me to be able to take good care of myself in the future. I also told her that I needed more rest. Finally, we found the best way to solve this problem—to reduce some of my activities. As our relationship improved, my mother became more like a friend to me. When she was tired after working for a long time, I always told her some interesting things that happened at school to make her happy. My mother encouraged me a lot whenever I faced problems. Last month, I was seriously ill and couldn’t go to school. My grades dropped a lot. However, my mother didn’t blame (责怪) me but helped me with my studies. To improve my grades, I studied until late at night. My mother always stayed with me in my room. It warmed my heart. Luckily, my grades improved a lot. After the tests, I used my pocket money to buy a cake for her. The good grades were not only mine but also hers. Now I have realised how important communication is. If we stop arguing and start communicating with others, we will make a difference in our lives. 1．What was the best way to solve the problem between Andrew and his mother?

Your parents probably won’t think over your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express (表达) yourself well if you are angry. Go for a walk to cool off and think about what you want to say to your parents. Try to reach an agreement. Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement, but try your best to understand them. Sometimes your parents might not accept your reasons for something. In these situations, it is important to show love and respect to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong. Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from yours. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them understand you better. A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. 1．Who might have trouble getting on with their parents according to the passage? A．Only school children.

It plays a very important role in the world of invention. When inventors are curious, they look at things in new ways. They wonder why things work the way they do and how they can be made better. For example, Thomas Edison was curious about light. He asked questions like “Why can’t we make a room brighter in a better way?” This curiosity led him to invent the light bulb. Without curiosity, many of the amazing inventions we use today might not exist (存在). We can do something to cultivate curiosity. First, we should ask a lot of questions. When we see something new or strange, we can ask “What is it?” “How does it work?” and “Why is it like this?” Don’t be afraid of looking silly. Any question can be a step towards discovery. Second, we can explore new places. A trip to a science museum or a nature park can open our eyes to new things. We might see strange animals or cool scientific displays that make us want to learn more. Third, we can try new hobbies. Whether it’s building model planes or growing plants, new hobbies can make us curious about different fields. 1．How does the writer develop his idea in Paragraph 2? A．By listing some numbers. B．By showing differences. C．By giving an example. D．By answering a question. 2．What does the underlined word “cultivate” mean? A．Invent. B．Develop. C．Realise.

Many great inventions have made our lives easier and more comfortable. Let’s look at two important inventions: the telephone and the Internet. The telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876. Before the telephone, people had to send letters to communicate with others far away. Letters could take days or even weeks to arrive. The telephone allowed people to talk to each other at once. This changed how businesses worked and how families stayed in touch. Today, telephones have become even more advanced (先进的). We use smartphones to make calls, send messages, take photos, and more. The Internet is another great invention that has changed the world. It was first developed in the 1960s for the U.S. military (军队). In the 1990s, it became available (可用的) to the public. The Internet allows people to get information from all over the world in seconds. We can learn new things, shop online, and communicate with people in different countries through email or video calls. It has also changed how we work and study. Many people now work from home using the Internet, and students can take online classes. Both the telephone and the Internet have had a huge effect on our lives. They show how inventions can connect people and make the world a smaller place. 1．Who invented the telephone? A．Thomas Edison. B．Alexander Graham Bell. C．The U.S. military. D．An unknown inventor. 2．How did people communicate with others far away before the telephone? A．By email. B．By video calls. C．By smartphones. D．By letters. 3．When did the Internet become available to the public? A．In 1876. B．In the 1960s. C．Recently. D．In the 1990s. 4．What can people do using the Internet according to the passage?

Its latest model, DeepSeek-R1, combines advanced machine learning methods to provide personalized learning solutions for students worldwide. Unlike traditional AI models that depend on pre-programmed answers, DeepSeek-R1 uses reinforcement (强化) learning to drive human logical thinking. This allows it to guide students through problem-solving step by step, much like a patient teacher. For example, when a student struggles with a math problem, DeepSeek-R1 doesn’t just give the answer; it breaks down the logic, identifies mistakes, and encourages critical thinking. The model’s applications reach beyond academic (学术的) areas. In language learning, it analyzes students’ pronunciation through AI speech recognition and offers real-time responses. For teachers, DeepSeek-R1 can make lesson plans in line with curriculum standards and even predict students’ learning difficulties based on historical data. Its “adaptive testing” feature creates personalized quizzes that adjust difficulty according to individual progress. However, challenges remain. Critics argue that over-dependence on AI might reduce human interaction in education. DeepSeek’s developers address this by stressing its role as an “addition, not a replacement.” As Dr. Li, a DeepSeek researcher, stated, “Our goal is to free teachers from routine tasks so they can focus on inspiring creativity.” Looking ahead, DeepSeek aims to combine virtual reality (VR) and its platform, enabling students to explore historical events or scientific concepts in engaging 3D environments. While ethical (伦理的) debates about AI in education continue to exist, one thing is clear: tools like DeepSeek are reshaping how we learn, mixing technology with human wisdom. 1．What makes DeepSeek-R1 different from traditional AI models? A．It uses pre-programmed answers to solve problems. B．It takes the place of teachers in classrooms. C．It focuses on developing students’memory techniques. D．It employs reinforcement learning for logical thinking. 2．How does DeepSeek-R1 help as an educational technology? A．It can use AI speech recognition to record students’pronunciation. B．It can tailor suitable tests based on students’personal development. C．It can use historical data to solve students’learning difficulties. D．It can help teachers make lesson plans as well as curriculum standards. 3．What can be inferred about DeepSeek’s future plans? A．VR technology will improve interactive learning. B．It will replace all classroom activities. C．DeepSeek will reshape human wisdom. D．It focuses on ethical gains rather than educational values. 4．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To introduce DeepSeek products. B．To compare different AI models in education. C．To discuss AI’s role in transforming education. D．To complain about the risks of AI in academic areas. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文介绍了中国AI公司DeepSeek推出的教育AI模型DeepSeek-R1，其通过强化学习引导学生逻辑思维，提供个性化学习方案，并探讨了其在教育领域的应用、挑战及未来发展方向。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“DeepSeek-R1 uses reinforcement learning to drive human logical thinking.”可知，DeepSeek-R1与传统AI模型的不同在于它使用强化学习来推动人类逻辑思维。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“Its ‘adaptive testing’ feature creates personalized quizzes that adjust difficulty according to individual progress.”可知，DeepSeek-R1能根据学生个人进展调整难度，提供个性化测试。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段“DeepSeek aims to combine virtual reality (VR) and its platform, enabling students to explore historical events or scientific concepts in engaging 3D environments.”可推断，其未来计划中的VR技术将提升互动学习体验。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了DeepSeek-R1在教育中的创新应用、优势、面临的挑战及未来方向，旨在讨论AI如何变革教育。故选C。 No question is too small when Kayla Chege, a high school student in Kansas, uses artificial intelligence (AI). She turns to AI for guidance on everything from back-to-school shopping to her birthday party planning. While you might think of AI as a homework helper for students, it is increasingly (渐增地) becoming a digital companion (陪伴) for many of them—offering not just answers, but also advice, emotional-support, and friendship. In a new study from Common Sense Media, a group that studies the healthy use of screens and digital media, researchers surveyed more than 1,000 teens in the US. The results show that over 70% of the teens have ever used AI as a companion. About one in three teens have used them for social interactions (互动) like emotional support or friendships, and they find these conversations with AI as satisfying as, or even more satisfying than, those with real-life friends. Despite half of the teens distrusting AI’s advice, one-third have discussed serious matters with it instead of with people. Those findings are worrisome, says Michael Robb, the study’s lead author. He points out that rapidly (快速地) growing AI, with few controls, is becoming as integrated with teenagers as smartphones and social media are. That means AI is no longer just a tool but is already becoming a necessary part of teens’ lives Why are so many teenagers turning to AI for companionship? This is mainly because AI could offer real benefits that meet their needs. AI friends can be personalized with different characteristics, offering conversations that feel human-like and giving emotional support. Talking to AI makes teens feel heard and understood, giving them a strong sense of comfort. As some teens say, it’s because AI “is always there for you”, “never gets bored with you” and “never judges you.” While the idea of an always-available friend sounds interesting, educators and researchers worry that relying (依赖) too much on AI could have harmful effects on teenagers. Teenage years are an important time for developing a strong sense of self as well as social abilities. If teens always turn to AI for advice, agreement and comfort, they may miss chances to think on their own, learn how to deal with disagreements and understand others’ emotions. This could finally weaken their ability to form and keep real-life friendships. Moreover, AI may sometimes share misleading information or offer poor advice, which can be risky for young users. As more teens consider AI as a companion, Robb warns that it should be a wake-up call for parents, teachers, and the government; that is, there could be huge risks when choosing AI for companionship over real-life friends. 1．Why does the writer use the example of Kayla Chege in Paragraph 1? A．To lead into a topic. B．To explain an idea. C．To stress a difference. D．To suggest a solution. 2．The underlined words “integrated with” in Paragraph 3 probably mean ________. A．really harmful to B．strongly doubted by C．highly encouraging for D．closely connected to 3．What can we learn from the passage? A．Misusing AI may lead to a loss of privacy. B．Most teens choose AI companions over real people. C．Overusing AI may cause teens to fail socially in real life. D．Teens become less satisfied with themselves when using AI. 4．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．AI: The Best Friend for Teens B．AI Friends: Promise or Problem C．AI: What Can Teens Learn from it D．AI Friends: Risking a Lot for Nothing 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文介绍了越来越多的青少年把人工智能当作陪伴者，并分析了其原因及可能带来的风险。 1．推理判断题。根据“No question is too small when Kayla Chege, a high school student in Kansas, uses artificial intelligence (AI). She turns to AI for guidance on everything from back-to-school shopping to her birthday party planning.”作者先通过Kayla的例子，引出后文关于青少年使用AI作为陪伴这一现象的讨论。故选A。 2．词句猜测题。根据“That means AI is no longer just a tool but is already becoming a necessary part of teens’ lives”可知，AI正像智能手机和社交媒体一样融入青少年的生活，强调关系紧密、不可分割。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据“If teens always turn to AI for advice, agreement and comfort, they may miss chances to think on their own, learn how to deal with disagreements and understand others’ emotions. This could finally weaken their ability to form and keep real-life friendships.”可知，过度依赖AI可能会削弱青少年在现实生活中的社交能力。故选C。 4．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章既介绍了AI陪伴青少年的好处，也重点讨论了其潜在问题和风险，主题是“AI朋友究竟是希望还是问题”。故选B。 Rules are everywhere.

For many people in Hainan, July 18, 2014, is a date they can’t forget—the day Super Typhoon Rammasun (超强台风威马逊) hit. It was the strongest typhoon to hit China in over 40 years.   Chen Wei, now 35, remembers clearly: “When the typhoon came, I was home with my family. The wind was terrifying—rain sounded like rocks hitting our roof. Suddenly, the power went out. We heard trees breaking outside. My dad tried to close the windows, but the wind was too strong—it broke the glass. We spent the whole night in the dark.”   Shop owner Li Fang in Haikou recalls: “I was in my store when it hit. The wind blew the door open and rain poured in. I tried to shut it, but I couldn’t. After the storm, the streets were covered with broken branches, fallen signs, and even overturned cars. It took weeks to clean up.”   Hainan often gets typhoons, but Rammasun was different. With winds reaching 216 km/h, it destroyed homes, uprooted trees, and left millions without power. The typhoon caused huge damage and took lives. Why do people remember disasters so clearly? Because they bring strong feelings-fear, shock and sadness. For Hainan people, Rammasun wasn’t just a storm - it changed their lives. After that, schools in Hainan taught students how to stay safe in storms. Students could have some lessons like Why storms happen, What to do when a storm comes, and How to help others. Today, Hainan has better typhoon protection. But those who lived through it will never forget nature’s fury that day. 1．What was Chen Wei doing when the typhoon hit?
