For immigrant（移民的）parents like my wife and me, the moment was deeply affecting. His classroom is filled with colorful posters, smart boards and cool learning tools. Watching him wave goodbye, I hoped he would feel welcome and enjoy the long journey of learning ahead. Yet I could not help but think of my own first day in Uganda. At the age of four, I was sent to live with my uncle's family for better schooling. My first "school" was an empty room with a dirt floor, wooden window covers and a tin roof that made loud noises when it rained. Later, I moved to Katebe Primary, the best in the county,where every morning we swept the classroom before lessons began. It taught me to take care of the space around me and to be responsible even with very few resources（资源）. Still, I dreamed of a classroom where the only thing I needed to bring was curiosity. That dream came true years later in Florida. At 19, I entered an American college, welcomed by a kind couple who adopted （收养）me as their son. I was amazed by the library, the technology and professors who cared about my curiosity. I studied hard, graduated top of my class and went on to further education. Education opened doors I once thought impossible. Now, watching our son take his first steps into a school filled with various learning resources, which were out of reach for most children in Uganda, we were moved beyond words. To us, it felt like a dream that we wished every child could share. 1 thought of my parents, my grandmother,and my adoptive family. I also thought of children worldwide who still have no access to this chance. I hope one day they can walk into a classroom full of love,curiosity and hope too. Because that first step can change everything. 24.How did the author feel about his son's school environment? A.Amazed. B.Satisfied. C.Worried. D.Upset. 25.Which of the following best describes the author's early schooling experiences? A.Fun and carefree. B. Boring and stressful. C. Interesting but demanding. D.Challenging but beneficial. 26.What does the author mainly stress about education in the text? A. Its role in changing one's life. B.Its requirement of hard work. C.Its value in teaching responsibility. D.Its dependence on good resources. 27.What does the author wish for children worldwide? A.Stronger curiosity. B.More caring teachers. C.Positive social connections. D.Equal access to resources. C As new technologies, including Al, are becoming popular, they promise to change learning for the better. Already, there are Al-based tutoring (辅导) tools that can help learners. One 2024 study, led by the University of Oxford,found that school students in Ghana who used an AI-powered maths tutor through WhatsApp for half an hour,twice a week, over eight months had “higher" maths progress scores than those in a control group. "Until now,professional,personalised tutoring has been too expensive for people," points out Joseph South, chief innovation officer at the International Society for Technology in Education. "Al-powered tutors can offer this experience for online learners at a low price." However, there are still possible problems to solve. Al can present untrue things as fact, which could mean students might "learn" incorrect information. Similarly. Al can develop biases (偏差) based on the data (数据) used to train it, and possibly pass them on to learners. In addition, experts warn that any educational institution (制度) needs to have strict rules on what student personal information can be put into Al tools, to reduce privacy risks. But, to some, the biggest risk is to the learning process. "As students increasingly depend on Al tools, they may use them as quick answers, which will hurt their ability to learn basic learning skills," says Emily Deleu, assistant teaching professor of business management communication at Carnegie Mellon University. "Is that good for them in the long term?" she asks. "This is still an open question." To protect students, she suggests "we need government rules to give advice to schools." And she adds, "The biggest risk of all with Al is doing nothing. The world has changed and is changing. We should change how we teach and what we teach to welcome Al." 28.What does the 2024 study show about Al-powered tutoring tools? A.They can help develop students' interest in maths. B.They can increase competition among students. C.They can help students improve their grades. D.They can shorten students’ study time. 29.What does Joseph South think of Al-powered tutoring tools? A.They will reduce the need for teachers in online learning. B. They can make personalised tutoring affordable for most people. C. They will pass some biases on to learners. D.They may present fiction as fact. 30.What do experts want educational institutions to do? A.Bring in more professional teachers. B.Develop more Al-powered tutoring tools. C. Help students develop their own opinions. D.Try to protect students' private information. 31.Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A.Will Al Change Education for the Better? B.Can AI Help Students Learn Important Skills? C.Are Al Tools Expensive for Learners? D.What Can Al Tools Help Teachers Do? D A few years ago, rising energy prices and extreme weather caused a global food crisis（危机）. A deadly drought in Russia reduced the global wheat supply. Similarly, last year's drought in the United States, the world's largest grain exporter, raised concerns about future food safety. Since the 1960s, agricultural science has helped drive crop（庄稼）production,reducing hunger worldwide．However,with the world's population going beyond 7 billion in 201I and expected to grow by another 2 billion by 2040, the demand for food continues to rise. In addition, more land is needed for biofuels production and farm animals’ feed. Meeting such demands faces many constraints. Every year, city development takes away half a million hectares of farmland. The competition for water between industries and farming reduces the amount available for irrigation （灌溉）.Furthermore, the cost of fossil fuels, which are necessary for farming and transporting food, continues to climb.The biggest challenge, however, is climate change, which is expected to worsen droughts, heatwaves, and the spread of harmful insects, all of which endanger crop production. One possible solution is to use the increasing levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere to help crops grow better. Since 1957, CO2 levels have risen by 25%, but little effort has been made to develop crop varieties that use this extra CO2 to produce higher yields. Research shows that crops could benefit from this. While this idea alone won't solve the food crisis, it could be an important part of the solution. Other strategies could include growing crops that survive in hot conditions, using more efficient water delivery systems, and creating apps that help farmers manage resources effectively. Without question, the growing demand for crop production will provide huge challenges as anything faced throughout human history. Clearly, new scientific tools and their wise use will help ensure continued agricultural productivity in the face of global uncertainty. 32.What does the author point out at the beginning of the text? A.Global food safety was at risk. B.Unusual weather was an unavoidable event. C.Food prices have seen a noticeable fall. D.Rising energy prices were affected by crops. 33. What does the underlined word "constraints" in paragraph 3 mean? A.Chances. B.Promises. C.Responsibilities. D.Limits. 34.What can we know about rising CO2 levels according to the text? A.They weaken all wild plants. B.They worsen global food crisis. C.They might drive crop growth. D. They may affect farmland quality. 35. What is the author's view about future crop production? A.It will be dependent on good weather. B.It will benefit from scientific advances. C.It will certainly face more uncertainty. D. It will be addressed by efforts worldwide. 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） Have you ever felt like your mind is continuously racing from thought to thought, unable to concentrate on a single task?

One of the memories was about Chinese New Year's Eve. It's a tradition that the Chinese make and cat dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve. On Chinese New Year's Eve when I was 10 years old, my mother was preparing dumpling skins and filling in the kitchen while my sister assisted her. I followed my father out to our yard to watch him set off fireworks. Soon,I was enthralled（着迷）by the loud noises and bright light produced by the fireworks. Our whole house was filled with holiday cheer. When there were no fireworks, I went inside. Seeing my mother and sister being busy preparing dumplings, I was curious and wanted to try making them myself, thinking it would be fun. Although 1 had never made dumplings before, I didn't think it would be difficult. Eagerly, I walked into the kitchen and came to my mother's side. Her left hand was holding a piece of dumpling skin while her right hand was digging out the meat and vegetable filling onto the dumpling skin, through a spoon.Then, I discovered she folded the dumpling skin in half and pressed together the top of the dumpling skin's edge together to seal（把......封上）the filling inside. She finished making a dumpling with a lovely shape in a matter of seconds. It looked truly easy. "Mom, I wan to try making dumplings," I said. "Alright! I'll give you instructions as you do it," my mother replied. "No, Mom. It's simple! There's no need to instruct me," I said quickly. Smiling, my mom nodded, walked to one side and gave me room to work. Confidently,I began. Quickly, I placed one piece of dumpling skin on my left hand. After that, I spooned lots of filling and put it onto the centre of the dumpling skin. Then, I met the first disappointing challenge.注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 I struggled to press the dumpling skin's edge, unable to seal all the filling inside._________ _____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ My mom smiled,"Patiently follow me! You'll do a better job!"________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
