Yet even as a growing number of educators embrace its potential, it raises critical ethical concerns and requires conscious, responsible adoption. Below is a quick overview of these key concerns, rooted in real-world AI integration in today’s classrooms. To guide the systematic integration of AI, institutions worldwide have been developing policies tailored to their unique needs, outlining best practices for its application in educational settings. The United States “Training + sharing” model empowers 74% of teachers to use AI, bridging the digital skill gap. Australia Cogniti AI enables college teachers to craft AI helpers and deliver detailed feedback. Canada Artificial Intelligent Defect Inspection regulates high-risk AI, ensuring the security of personal information. China National AI + Education Plan addresses content and resource gaps via tools and frameworks. As we continue to monitor AI’s evolving role in education, navigating through the challenges of its integration remains a top priority. UNESCO, a leading international organization, emphasizes that sound AI education policy requires global educational communities to truly understand the nature, functions and potential of AI before its further promotion. Premature policy-making without this foundation risks ineffectiveness. 1. What’s the gap in “Concern 4” from 2024 to 2025? A. 3%. B. 8%. C. 61%. D. 74%. 2. Which country’s policy addresses “Concern 1”? A. The United States. B. Australia. C. Canada. D. China. 3. According to UNESCO, what should AI education policy stress? A. Basic understanding. B. Global cooperation. C. Commercial promotion. D. Initial effectiveness B I’ll be honest: I’m not a science guy. Physics, for me, was mostly a fog of equations I tried to survive in school. But while reading Life 3.0 by Max Tegmark, I stumbled upon Fermat’s Principle — and it felt less like physics and more like a life lesson in disguise. Tegmark explains it with a brilliant analogy. Imagine a lifeguard on a beach spotting a swimmer in trouble. She doesn’t take the straight line. Why? Because she runs faster on sand than she swims in water. So she runs farther down the beach first — covering more ground where she’s fast — then dives into the water at an angle. That bent, two-part path is the fastest. Light does the same: bending as it enters water, following the path of least time, not least distance. This is where it clicked. Tegmark writes that the universe often behaves as if it’s optimizing something — minimizing energy, maximizing efficiency. It felt purposeful. Even if nature has no “goal,” its behaviour is goal-oriented. It made me look at my own life. How often do I chase the path that looks shortest, only to find it’s the most draining? I used to promise myself that I would read an hour daily, which seemed to be the “straight-line” way, But I burned out by day three. The “Fermat” way is different: start small, reduce friction, bend your path to match the environment where your progress flows faster. You might run farther on sand before diving in, but you’ll reach your destination sooner. The same applies to change. Whenever we try to change something, we often force confrontation: quit cold turkey, overhaul overnight, fix everything at once. But real change, like light, works better when it bends — when it adapts to the medium it moves through. Bending differently at work, at home is not weakness but wisdom. Maybe the key to improving our lives bit by bit isn’t about more force or straight-line speed. Maybe it’s about paying attention to the medium we’re moving through — our time, mood, health, energy — and adjusting our angle. Because, as nature shows us, the optimal path is rarely the straight one. 4. What did the author think of physics initially? A. It required genuine curiosity. B. It posed academic challenges. C. It provided intellectual rewards. D. It contained philosophical insights. 5. What does the lifeguard story in paragraph 2 mainly explain? A. The necessity of training for lifeguards. B. The methods of calculating running speed. C. The mechanism of light refraction in water. D. The difference between jogging and swimming. 6. What sets the “Fermat” way apart from the author’s prior way? A. Allowing minute changes. B. Highlighting direct methods. C. Demanding strong willpower. D. Advocating dramatic progress. 7. Which of the following does the author most probably agree with? A. Go with the flow. B. No pains, no gains. C. A rolling stone gathers no moss. D. Still water runs deep. C “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times,” as Dickens famously wrote. And truly, we are living in odd, chaotic, and constantly evolving times. In such times, storytelling is a form of wondrous play through which children learn moral lessons. However, recent events show how thoughtless misuses of classic tales undermine these kind messages. The first revolves around the helpful, compassionate and considerate Franklin the Turtle. In his stories, anxieties can be overcome with patience, and friends are ever a source of understanding. Once he is so frightened by a thunderstorm that he retreats into his shell, his friend Beaver persuades him out patiently. Owl supplies the reassuring scientific details. It’s electricity that causes a giant pop! A rainbow appears at the end! Yet, an AI-made image shared by an official showed Franklin as a war criminal. The cover of the fake book in question, Franklin Targets Narco Terrorists, depicted the sweet character grinning and firing a weapon from a helicopter, leaving the Franklin publishers astonished. The second instance is Disney’s 2025 remake of Snow White. It sparked controversy not because it changed the story, but because it forgot why people loved it in the first place. Key characters were rewritten or removed. Cast interviews dismissed the original as outdated. And the tone of the campaign leaned more on what the film wasn’t than what it hoped to be. The campaign downplayed the romance, left out the optimism and family connection that defined Walt Disney, and introduced a title character with a whole new backstory. Reinvention is good on the condition that the form is updated — new characters, new styles, new delivery — without losing the foundation. The values stayed visible. The tone stayed familiar. Change is easier to embrace when audiences recognize what hasn’t changed. After all, in this “best and worst of times,” as Dickens described, classic stories still offer moral guidance. 8. What does the underlined word “undermine” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Uncover. B. Interpret. C. Discredit. D. Preserve. 9. How did the Franklin publishers most likely describe the AI image? A. Violent and unauthorized. B. Delicate yet misleading. C. Complicated yet incomplete. D. Profound and Unconventional. 10. What made Disney’s 2025 remake of Snow White different from previous versions? A. It featured a more popular cast. B. Its visual effects were less impressive. C. Its message was less resonant. D. It placed more emphasis on romance. 11. What is essential for the reinvention of classic tales? A. Preserving core values and tone. B. Adapting to audience expectations. C. Retaining familiar narrative structures. D. Introducing new characters and styles. D From pesticides to paint fumes, the importance of steering clear of hidden toxins during pregnancy is well-documented. But according to a new study, it’s not only expecting parents who need to be aware of toxins that pose a silent risk to their family’s health. New research published in Liver International has linked severe liver damage to contact with tetrachloroethylene (PCE) , a chemical widely used in dry-cleaning products, as well as common household cleaning items. Scientists examined blood samples from study participants, of which about 7% had detectable levels of PCE. Compared to their counterparts, this group was three times more likely to have significant liver fibrosis, a condition that can progress to both liver cancer and liver failure. The risk increases with greater exposure, and workers in dry-cleaning facilities may face the highest risk. PCE is a manufactured chemical that’s been around since the 1940s, according to Gerome Burke, Jr. , MD, PhD, a medical toxicologist. “Its most famous use was as the primary chemical in dry cleaning,” Dr. Burke says. More recently, PCE has become a common ingredient in many consumer products, including spot removers and stainless steel polishes. Effective as it is, “PCE can cause neurological effects, including dizziness and headaches,” Dr. Burke says. Previous research also shows early PCE exposure is linked to a higher risk of developing certain cancers later in life. What’s worse, this toxin could be quietly contaminating our surroundings as well, from the air we breathe to the water we drink. Kids are more vulnerable because their bodies are still developing and they have more contact with contaminated surfaces. Families can reduce PCE-related health risks through practical steps, according to experts. Check product labels and avoid those that list PCE. When using potentially PCE-containing cleaners, opening windows is recommended. For dry-cleaning, opt for safer, PCE-free alternatives like “wet cleaning”. After cleaning, always remove the plastic wrap and air them out in well-circulated space before bringing them indoors. It is equally important to store risky products away from kids. These small actions significantly reduce the chronic, low- level PCE exposures that are most closely associated with health risks. 12. What does paragraph 1 imply about public health awareness? A. It focuses on natural threats. B. It should cover a wider population. C. It prioritizes pregnant individuals. D. It stresses detectable toxic substances. 13. Why does the author highlight children’s vulnerability to PCE? A. To explain its impact on the brain. B. To introduce methods of protection. C. To show their bodies are still growing. D. To highlight the chemical’s widespread effect. 14. What is the key to the experts’ suggested strategy? A. Strict regulation of dry-cleaning industries. B. Regular medical screening for early detection. C. Gradual removal of chemicals from domestic use. D. Multilevel interruption of PCE exposure pathways. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. PCE: From Workplace to Home Threat B. Household Dangers and Children’s Safety C. A Hidden Home Threat and Your Defense D. Pregnant Women: The Highest Risk Group 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A Third-Generation Luthier Tells His Story I’ve had the honor and blessing of growing up as a luthier’s apprentice (制琴师的学徒).

Between my career, household duties, and raising my eight-year-old daughter Mary, “efficient” was my middle name. Dinner came from meal kits, bedtime stories were podcasts, and Mary’s creative projects were completed by express-delivered craft boxes — often admired but rarely opened. Our days were full, yet felt meaningless. The crack in my perfect system appeared during a parent-teacher meeting. “Mary is a brilliant child,” her teacher, Ms. Rivers, noted, “but she often asks if we can fast-forward to the end of an activity.” She then mentioned the “Quiet Companion Project”: each student would care for a small creature for a term and keep a daily observation journal. “It’s not about the pet,” Ms. Rivers explained, “but about learning to pay slow, patient attention.” Uncertain but wanting to support Mary’s project, we visited a local pet shop. Fish seemed too impersonal, rabbits too demanding. Then, in a humble glass enclosure, we saw them — three garden snails, moving with a slow, elegant purpose. Mary’s eyes widened. “Look, Mom, they carry their homes on their backs,” she whispered, fascinated. We brought them home in a simple tank she named “The Slow Garden”. For the first two weeks, Mary was devoted. She named them Calm, Whisper, and Drift, and logged their tiny journeys each evening. I observed from the sidelines, my mind occupied by spreadsheets and deadlines. Their world was peaceful; mine was anything but. The conflict erupted on a chaotic Tuesday morning. I was preparing for a crucial work presentation when I noticed the snail tank — water dish dry, leaves brown. Mary, buried in sudden homework, had forgotten her duties for two days. “This is why this project is impractical! You made a commitment!” I shouted, my stress boiling over. Her eyes welled with tears as she looked at the slow-moving snails. We stood there, trapped between my urgent world and her forgotten responsibility, the silent snails bearing witness to our divided moment. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Looking at Mary’s tearful face and the dirty tank, I knew I had to choose. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In the following weeks, The Slow Garden began to work its quiet magic on us both. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 绝密★启用前 深圳外国语学校2025—2026学年度高三年级第五次阶段性考试英语试题 本试卷共8页，满分120分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、班级、准考证号码等信息填写在答题卡上。 2. 作答时，务必将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷及草稿纸上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A 【1~3题答案】 【答案】1.

In 2025, the character “Ren” was chosen as one of the keywords, which is widely recognized by people. “Ren” means perseverance and tenacity — it refers to the spirit of never giving up when facing difficulties. It was selected mainly because people showed great resilience in overcoming various challenges in 2025, both in daily life and work. This spirit also reflects the perseverance rooted in Chinese culture. I hope this introduction helps you understand it better. Feel free to ask me more questions. Best regards, Li Hua 第二节(满分25分) 【47题答案】 【答案】范文 Looking at Mary’s tearful face and the dirty tank, I knew I had to choose. I took a deep breath, set aside my work files, and knelt down beside her. “I’m sorry, honey. I shouldn’t have shouted at you,” I said softly. Together, we refilled the water dish, replaced the brown leaves with fresh lettuce, and wiped the tank clean. As we watched Calm glide slowly across the glass, Mary sniffled and said, “Mom, they don’t rush at all.” I nodded, suddenly realizing how much I’d missed by always hurrying — how I’d forgotten to slow down with her. In the following weeks, The Slow Garden began to work its quiet magic on us both. Every evening, I put aside my work to join Mary in observing the snails. We laughed as Whisper stopped halfway to “rest” and marveled at how Drift left tiny silver trails. I started leaving work on time, skipping meal kits to cook simple dinners with Mary, and reading her real bedtime stories. Our days became less “efficient” but far fuller. Mary no longer wanted to fast-forward activities, and I learned that slow, patient attention — like the snails’ — was the most precious gift I could give her. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
