Unlike traditional teaching methods that follow a one-size-fits-all approach, AI-powered platforms can adapt to individual students’ learning paces, strengths, and weaknesses. 　　For students, AI tutors provide personalized feedback on homework and assignments, helping them identify areas where they need improvement without waiting for a teacher’s review. For example, an AI system can analyze a student’s responses to math problems, detect common mistakes, and offer step-by-step explanations to strengthen their understanding. Additionally, AI-powered language learning apps use speech recognition technology to help students improve their pronunciation and conversational skills, making language practice more accessible and interactive. 　　Teachers also benefit from AI tools. AI can automate time-consuming tasks such as grading papers, taking attendance, and creating lesson plans, allowing teachers to focus more on interacting with students and providing emotional support. Some AI platforms even help teachers identify students who are at risk of falling behind by analyzing their learning data, enabling early intervention. 　　However, critics argue that over-reliance on AI in education could have negative effects. They worry that AI might replace human teachers, who play a crucial role in motivating students and fostering critical thinking skills. Others express concerns about data privacy, as AI systems collect large amounts of personal information about students. 　　Despite these concerns, most experts agree that AI is not a replacement for teachers but a powerful tool to enhance education. When used properly, AI can bridge educational gaps, make learning more engaging, and help both teachers and students achieve better outcomes. １.What is the advantage of AI-powered platforms compared to traditional teaching methods? A. They are more affordable for schools. B. They can meet individual students’ learning needs. C. They can replace human teachers completely. D. They focus more on emotional support. ２.How can AI help students with language learning? A. By grading their papers automatically. B. By creating personalized lesson plans. C. By using speech recognition to improve pronunciation. D. By identifying students at risk of falling behind. ３．What do critics worry about AI in education? A. AI will make teachers lose their jobs. B. AI cannot provide accurate feedback. C. AI is too expensive for most schools. D. AI will reduce students’ interest in learning. ４．What is the experts’ attitude towards AI in education? A. Doubtful. 　　B. Critical.　　　C. Supportive 　　　D. Neutral. 词汇积累（高考高频） 1． transform (v.) 使改变形态；使改观；文中义：AI正迅速改变教育领域。 　　搭配：transform sth. into sth. 把……转变成…… 2． personalized (adj.) 个性化的；定制的；文中义：AI导师提供个性化反馈。 　　派生词：personalize (v.) 定制 3． crucial (adj.) 至关重要的；关键性的；文中义：人类教师在激励学生方面起到关键作用。 　　搭配：　be crucial to/for sth. 对……至关重要 4． enhance (v.) 提高；增强；文中义：AI是提升教育质量的有力工具。 　　搭配：enhance one’s understanding/ability 提高理解能力/能力 长难句分析 原句：Unlike traditional teaching methods that follow a one-size-fits-all approach, AI-powered platforms can adapt to individual students’ learning paces, strengths, and weaknesses.（第一段第二句） 拆分： 1 状语部分（Unlike+名词短语）：Unlike traditional teaching methods that follow a one-size-fits-all approach（that引导定语从句，修饰traditional teaching methods，意为“遵循一刀切方法的传统教学方法”）； ② 主句：AI-powered platforms can adapt to individual students’ learning paces, strengths, and weaknesses（人工智能平台能适应每个学生的学习节奏、优势和劣势）。 释义：与遵循“一刀切”方法的传统教学模式不同，人工智能驱动的平台能够适应每个学生的学习节奏、优势与不足。 　　　　　　　　　　Passage 2（环保类·塑料污染与海洋保护） 　　Every year, an estimated 8 million tons of plastic waste enter the world’s oceans, causing severe harm to marine life and ecosystems. Plastic pollution has become one of the most pressing environmental issues of our time, affecting everything from tiny plankton to large whales. 　　Marine animals often mistake plastic for food. Turtles eat plastic bags because they resemble jellyfish, while seabirds feed plastic fragments to their chicks, leading to starvation and death. Plastic waste also entangles marine creatures such as dolphins and seals, preventing them from swimming, feeding, or breathing. Over time, plastic breaks down into microplastics—tiny pieces less than 5 millimeters in size—which can be ingested by even the smallest marine organisms and enter the food chain, eventually affecting humans who eat seafood. 　　To address this problem, governments, businesses, and individuals are taking action. Many countries have banned single-use plastics such as plastic bags, straws, and cutlery. Some companies are developing biodegradable plastics that can break down naturally in the environment. Individuals can also make a difference by reducing their use of plastic products, recycling properly, and participating in beach cleanups. However, solving plastic pollution is not easy. Plastic is cheap, durable, and widely used in many industries, making it difficult to replace. Additionally, plastic waste often ends up in developing countries with limited waste management systems, where it is dumped into rivers or oceans. Despite the challenges, there is hope. With increased awareness, stricter policies, and innovative solutions, we can reduce plastic pollution and protect our oceans for future generations. １.What is the main idea of the passage? A. The harm of plastic pollution to marine life and solutions to it. B. The reasons why plastic is widely used in industries. C. How microplastics enter the human food chain. D. The differences between biodegradable plastics and traditional plastics. ２.Why do turtles eat plastic bags? A. Because they are hungry and have no other food. B. Because plastic bags look like their natural food. C. Because plastic bags are easy to find in the ocean. D. Because they need plastic to help them digest food. ３.What does the underlined word “entangles” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Attracts. 　　B. Poisons. 　　C. Traps. D. Protects. ４.What is one of the difficulties in solving plastic pollution? A. There are not enough beach cleanups. B. Biodegradable plastics are too expensive. C. Plastic is hard to replace due to its advantages. D. Governments do not have strict policies. 词汇积累（高考高频） １.severe (adj.) 严重的；严厉的；文中义：塑料垃圾对海洋生物和生态系统造成严重危害。 　搭配：severe harm/damage 严重危害/损害 ２.resemble (v.) 看起来像；类似；文中义：塑料袋看起来像水母。 　用法：resemble sth./sb.（无被动语态，不接不定式） ３.biodegradable (adj.) 可生物降解的；文中义：企业研发可生物降解塑料。 　派生词：biodegrade (v.) 生物降解 ４.durable (adj.) 耐用的；持久的；文中义：塑料便宜且耐用。 　　搭配：durable products 耐用产品 ５.innovative (adj.) 创新的；革新的；文中义：依靠创新解决方案减少塑料污染。 　派生词：innovate (v.) 创新；innovation (n.) 创新 长难句分析 原句：Over time, plastic breaks down into microplastics—tiny pieces less than 5 millimeters in size—which can be ingested by even the smallest marine organisms and enter the food chain, eventually affecting humans who eat seafood.（第二段第四句） 拆分： 1 主句：Over time, plastic breaks down into microplastics（随着时间的推移，塑料会分解成微塑料）；② 同位语：tiny pieces less than 5 millimeters in size（补充说明microplastics，意为“直径小于5毫米的微小碎片”）； ③ 非限制性定语从句：which can be ingested...and enter the food chain（which指代microplastics，意为“微塑料会被最小的海洋生物摄入并进入食物链”）； ④ 结果状语：eventually affecting humans who eat seafood（现在分词短语表结果，who引导定语从句修饰humans，意为“最终影响食用海鲜的人类”）。 释义：随着时间的推移，塑料会分解成微塑料——直径小于5毫米的微小碎片，这些微塑料甚至会被最小的海洋生物摄入并进入食物链，最终影响食用海鲜的人类。 　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　Passage 3（文化类·中国传统文化的国际传播） 　　In recent years, Chinese traditional culture has gained increasing popularity around the world, thanks to the efforts of cultural exchanges, social media, and creative adaptations. From Confucian philosophy to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), from Peking Opera to tea culture, elements of Chinese culture are being introduced to a global audience in new and innovative ways. 　　Social media platforms have played a key role in this cultural spread.

Additionally, more and more foreign students are coming to China to study Chinese language and culture, becoming cultural ambassadors between China and their home countries. 　　Creative adaptations have made Chinese traditional culture more accessible to young people around the world. For example, Chinese martial arts have been featured in Hollywood movies, and traditional Chinese music has been combined with modern pop music to create new styles. These adaptations help young people connect with Chinese culture in a way that is familiar and interesting to them.
