Try to bring back a memory of taking an exam in your worst subject with your strictest teacher. You probably remember looking at the paper, feeling you didn’t know any of the answers. Your heart was beating fast... Not 45 , you think that experience made you feel upset and nervous. But maybe it didn’t have to be that way. A paper in Nature reports that a one-time online mindset exercise improved the way young people thought about stressful events and their uncomfortable responses. The exercise is based on two mindsets: First, ability is not fixed but can be improved with effort and support; second, body responses to stress can be 46 . As students work through the exercise themselves, they read information about how the brain builds on experience and how the body makes use of stress, for example, a fast-beating heart tends to send more blood to the brain to help you think. The exercise also 47 ways to succeed in stressful situations, and it asks students to write about what they might do differently next time. Researchers invited thousands of high school and college students to take the exercise. The findings show that this exercise appears to be able to change our understanding of the world around us and our responses to it. Compared with those who didn’t take the exercise, students who took part thought about stress differently, turning it into a way of energizing the motivation to achieve their goal. 48 , the exercise changed their body responses for the better, preparing the body to respond to events as a challenge rather than a threat. “Difficulty and struggle are your friends,” says Christopher Bryan, a social psychologist and one of the researchers. Those experiences don’t feel good in the moment, but it’s the path anyone who became truly excellent at anything had to travel. The exercise could be put into further 49 . It could be specially made for athletes or office workers in the future. Once it has been fully 50 , the exercise could be ready for use in high schools and colleges nationwide. The researchers don’t just want young people to rethink stress; they want adults to rethink young people. “Our studies advise that we should not teach young people that they are too weak to get over difficulties, but that we should, instead, provide them with resources and guidance so that young people can show their skills and creativity in dealing with big problems,” they write in the paper. 45．A．interestingly B．surprisingly C．especially D．obviously 46．A．careful B．harmful C．painful D．helpful 47．A．agrees B．suggests C．proves D．appeals 48．A．What’s more B．As a result C．For example D．In fact 49．A．match B．check C．guess D．use 50．A．noticed B．introduced C．tested D．mentioned 【答案】45．B 46．D 47．B 48．A 49．D 50．C C. Fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺。每空格限填一词，首字母已给)(14分) Head to Head I think that AI technology will make our life better. First, AI technology makes everything e 1 . It can do many tasks quickly. When we want to know about a famous place, like the Eiffel Tower, we can ask AI to show us all about it, such as its height, when it was built, and interesting stories about it. AI technology can also be a great learning t 2 . Students can use it to get help with their studies. It can explain complex ideas in a simple way. If a student is having trouble understanding a science experiment, AI can break it down step by step. However, this won’t happen unless you give the right order or i 3 . Some people may worry that AI will take over jobs. But a 4 , it will create new jobs too. People will need to work with AI, like programming it, improving it, and using it in different fields. Therefore, I believe that AI technology will make our life better in many ways. In my opinion, AI technology won’t make our life better. First of all, AI can cause a lot of job losses. Many jobs that people do now can be done by AI much faster. For example, in a toy factory, AI-controlled machines can r 5 human workers who used to assemble the toys. This means a lot of people will lose their jobs and have a hard time finding new ones. Secondly, AI may not be as reliable as we think. Self-driving cars rely a great deal on AI technology. Environmental factors like extreme weather or an u 6 object on the road that appears suddenly, such as a big stone, can cause AI systems to make mistakes, which may lead to accidents. Moreover, AI systems collect too much personal information about us, like where we go, what we buy, and who we talk to without our p 7 . To sum up, I believe that AI technology won’t make our life better. 【答案】1．easy/asy 2．tool/ool 3．instruction/nstruction 4．actually/ctually 5．replace/eplace 6．unexpected/nexpected 7．permission/ermission D.

Try to bring back a memory of taking an exam in your worst subject with your strictest teacher. You probably remember looking at the paper, feeling you didn’t know any of the answers. Your heart was beating fast... Not 45 , you think that experience made you feel upset and nervous. But maybe it didn’t have to be that way. A paper in Nature reports that a one-time online mindset exercise improved the way young people thought about stressful events and their uncomfortable responses. The exercise is based on two mindsets: First, ability is not fixed but can be improved with effort and support; second, body responses to stress can be 46 . As students work through the exercise themselves, they read information about how the brain builds on experience and how the body makes use of stress, for example, a fast-beating heart tends to send more blood to the brain to help you think. The exercise also 47 ways to succeed in stressful situations, and it asks students to write about what they might do differently next time. Researchers invited thousands of high school and college students to take the exercise. The findings show that this exercise appears to be able to change our understanding of the world around us and our responses to it. Compared with those who didn’t take the exercise, students who took part thought about stress differently, turning it into a way of energizing the motivation to achieve their goal. 48 , the exercise changed their body responses for the better, preparing the body to respond to events as a challenge rather than a threat. “Difficulty and struggle are your friends,” says Christopher Bryan, a social psychologist and one of the researchers. Those experiences don’t feel good in the moment, but it’s the path anyone who became truly excellent at anything had to travel. The exercise could be put into further 49 . It could be specially made for athletes or office workers in the future. Once it has been fully 50 , the exercise could be ready for use in high schools and colleges nationwide. The researchers don’t just want young people to rethink stress; they want adults to rethink young people. “Our studies advise that we should not teach young people that they are too weak to get over difficulties, but that we should, instead, provide them with resources and guidance so that young people can show their skills and creativity in dealing with big problems,” they write in the paper. 45．A．interestingly B．surprisingly C．especially D．obviously 46．A．careful B．harmful C．painful D．helpful 47．A．agrees B．suggests C．proves D．appeals 48．A．What’s more B．As a result C．For example D．In fact 49．A．match B．check C．guess D．use 50．A．noticed B．introduced C．tested D．mentioned C. Fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺。每空格限填一词，首字母已给)(14分) Head to Head I think that AI technology will make our life better. First, AI technology makes everything e 51 . It can do many tasks quickly. When we want to know about a famous place, like the Eiffel Tower, we can ask AI to show us all about it, such as its height, when it was built, and interesting stories about it. AI technology can also be a great learning t 52 . Students can use it to get help with their studies. It can explain complex ideas in a simple way. If a student is having trouble understanding a science experiment, AI can break it down step by step. However, this won’t happen unless you give the right order or i 53 . Some people may worry that AI will take over jobs. But a 54 , it will create new jobs too. People will need to work with AI, like programming it, improving it, and using it in different fields. Therefore, I believe that AI technology will make our life better in many ways. In my opinion, AI technology won’t make our life better. First of all, AI can cause a lot of job losses. Many jobs that people do now can be done by AI much faster. For example, in a toy factory, AI-controlled machines can r 55 human workers who used to assemble the toys. This means a lot of people will lose their jobs and have a hard time finding new ones. Secondly, AI may not be as reliable as we think. Self-driving cars rely a great deal on AI technology. Environmental factors like extreme weather or an u 56 object on the road that appears suddenly, such as a big stone, can cause AI systems to make mistakes, which may lead to accidents. Moreover, AI systems collect too much personal information about us, like where we go, what we buy, and who we talk to without our p 57 . To sum up, I believe that AI technology won’t make our life better. D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答问题) (12 分) Jim’s grandpa had a beautiful garden. He knew everything about gardening. Every weekend, Jim got his hands dirty in the soil with Grandpa. Best of all, he loved seeing the daffodils (水仙花) come out in spring. One Saturday, Jim was helping Grandpa in the garden. “Will we plant daffodils this year?” asked Jim. “Yes, but give it a few more days,” said Grandpa, handing Jim a gardening fork. “We need to get the weeds (杂草) out first.” “Why do you like planting daffodils?” asked Jim. “For Grandma,” said Grandpa. “On the day we first met, I gave her a bunch of daffodils. Seeing the sweet smile on her face, I knew she loved them. So when we got married, I promised her to plant daffodils every year.” “Wow! I can’t wait to plant daffodils,” said Jim. A few days later, Grandpa got a terrible headache and was sent to hospital. He needed to have an operation. The following Sunday, Jim sat in the garden, worried and lonely. Grandma came to him. “Jim, you can do some gardening if you like,” she said. “________,” said Jim. “He isn’t here but he surely has taught you something, hasn’t he?” said Grandma. “I guess he has really taught me a lot,” said Jim. Jim thought about how happy Grandpa would be when he came back and saw the daffodils. He put on his rubber boots and spent the whole day tidying, digging, planting and watering. When spring came, all the daffodils opened and Grandpa returned home. “You wonderful boy,” said Grandpa. “Grandma and I are proud of you.” “I remember everything you’ve taught me,” said Jim. “Grandpa, you and Grandma are good teachers!” 58．Was Jim’s grandpa good at gardening? 59．Why did Grandpa and Jim have to wait a few more days to plant daffodils? 60．What did Grandpa promise Grandma to do when they got married? 61．What might Jim say to Grandma?
