Pineapple Moon and Other Poems for Children is a delightful collection of poems that offers a comforting bedtime experience,gently guiding young readers into a peaceful night. One of the first things that struck me about this book is the stunning illustrations that accompany each poem.The colors are soft,adding to the calming messages within the verses ()The artwork captures the imagination in such a gentle manner that it's hard not to feel a sense of calm simply by flipping through the pages. The poems themselves are lyrical,encouraging children to embrace their uniqueness and love themselves just as they are.They celebrate the beauty of heing different and remind children that happiness can often be found in the simplest things.Each poem concludes with a clear moral,encouraging children to reflect on all the ways they are truly wonderful and special.This thoughtful approach makes Pineapple Moon and Other Poems for Children not just a collection of bedtime poems,but also leaves an opportunity for meaningful educational discussions over breakfast the next day.

This book is a remarkable collection full of positive lessons and beautiful illustrations.It's a book that every parent should consider adding to their nightly reading routine.Not only does it bring joy to children,but it also supports their growth in understanding self-love and appreciation for who they are.I highly recommend it to anyone looking to foster a sense of self-worth and happiness in their children as they head off to dreamland. 24.What impressed the author about the book at first?

Crows can indeed count,according to a recent research publication.Results show crows have counting capacities near those of human toddlers(学步期儿童)，says Diana Liao,.a researcher in neurobiology at the University of Tubingen."We think this is the first time this has been shown for any animal species," she adds. Crows don't appear to be capable of symbolic counting,in which numbers are associated with a particular symbol.This skill is still thought to be unique to humans.Instead,the birds are able to count by controlling the number of vocalizations (they produce to correspond to associated cues-just like young children who have yet to master symbolic counting often do.Scientists have long suspected that some nonhuman species might also have the ability to count by controlling the number of their vocalizations but lacked evidence. In the new study,Liao and her colleagues ran experiments with three carrion crows in a carefully controlled laboratory setting.They presented the birds with randomly ordered cues(),four of which were visual-colored Arabic numbers appearing on a touch screen-and four of which were sound-based,including a guitar tone and a drumroll.The birds had to figure out the correct number of calls to pair with each cue.If they got it right,they received a worm.If not,they received a time-out.When the birds made errors,they tended to make errors close to the target number-a phenomenon referred to as the numerical distance effect.After receiving 166 to 189 training sessions,all the crows were able to produce the correct number of vocalizations at a level higher than chance. Onur Guintiirkin,a biopsychologist,says the new paper is "excellent".Counting abilities in birds and mammals represent“a spectacular case of convergent brain evolution(趋同脑进化)where bath groups came with virtually the same solution to cognitive challenges posed by life on Earth.As a result, crows learn,remember,plan,act and make mistakes as toddlers do. 28.What do the results of the research show about crows? A.Crows use vocalizations to communicate. B.Crows are known for forming rock bands. C.Crows are able to distinguish different quantities. D.Crows rely on visual signals to interpret surroundings. 29.How did Liao and her team conduct the experiment with crows? A.By observing crows in the wild. B.By teaching crows to recognize numbers. C.By comparing crows'behavior to that of toddlers. D.By training crows through visual and sound clues. 30.What can be inferred from Onur Guintirkiin's explanation? A.Crows show advanced cognitive abilities like other intelligent animals. B.Birds and mammals found varied ways to address cognitive challenges. C Crows developed their counting skills by interacting with other species. D.Birds and mammals developed similar counting abilities through evolution. 31 What is the main idea of the passage? A.The influence of crows on popular culture is discussed. B.Crows are the first non-human species proven to count. 第4页，共8页 C.Rescarch on crows reveals insights into animal intelligence. I)1 Exploring animal intelligence is vital for understanding behavior. D Artificial Intelligence (Al)is changing numerous industries worldwide,and education is no exception.In India,where the education system serves over 250 million students,AI presents both revolutionary opportunities and notable challenges. AI-powered platforms can help a student struggling with math by offering customized practice problems,ensuring no learner is left behind.AI technologies can bridge gaps in education by making learning resources accessible to economically disadvantaged communities.AI can assist teachers in generating content in line with curriculum requirements,saving time and effort.By automating tasks like grading and attendance,AI enables educators to focus more on teaching.Additionally,AI can serve as a virtual assistant to teachers,offering insights into student progress and areas requiring intervention. While AI can enhance education,it requires educators to understand and effectively use these technologies.A lack of teacher training in AI tools can prevent the successful integration of such technologies into the classroom.To exploit the potential of AI in education,India must take a balanced approach such as investing in infrastructure,teacher training,policy support,public-private partnerships and inclusion initiatives. The use of AI in education raises questions about data privacy and security.Ensuring that student data is protected from misuse and breaches (is a significant challenge.Plus,concerns about AI replacing human educators need to be addressed.Traditional mindsets (in education,both among educators and policymakers,can act as a barrier to the adoption of AI.Overcoming this resistance requires widespread awareness and policy-level support. AI has the potential to revolutionize education in India,making it more inclusive,personalized,and future-ready.However,addressing challenges such as the digital divide,affordability,and ethical concerns is essential to ensure its successful adoption.With the right strategy and cooperation,AI can empower India to redetine its education system and equip its youth with the skills needed for the 21st century. 32.What does the author imply about AI in education? A.It helps learners boost productivity.B.It enhances poor regions'economy. C.It inspires teachers to be innovative.D.It makes class administration easier. 33.What does the underlined word "exploit"in paragraph 3 mean? A.Employ. B.Notice. C.Understand. D.Explore. ,4.What limits AI's combination with education in India? A.Impractical teacher training. B.Useless student information. C.Unwillingness to change. D.Unjust social backgrounds. 35 Why should Al be integrated into education? A.To bridge the digital divide. B.To keep pace with the times. C.To reduce costs of education. D.To handle huge uncertainties. 第二节七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） Life is filled with numerous victories and downfalls;what matters is how you tackle each situation.

They were as different as night and day---Jack,the older by two years,was a keen reader with a preference for quiet moments spent in academic books,his nose often buried in the pages of historical texts or scientific journals.Compared with him,Tom was totally different,full of energy and enthusiasm, always longing for the outdoors.He found joy that came from playing soccer and basketball.The differences between them often led to arguments,creating a gap that seemed impossible to bridge. One summer,their parents,hoping to mend the growing divide between them,decided to send them on a camping trip in the nearby Blue Ridge Mountains.They thought that the fresh mountain air,coupled with outdoor activities,would bring them closer. Unwillingly,the two brothers packed their bags,each secretly hoping that the other would give up at the last minute.But neither did,and soon enough,they found themselves setting up camp under a canopy()of twinkling stars,the cool night breeze whispering through the trees. The first few days were tense.They quarreled over insignificant matters-who should carry the water bottle,who got to choose the music during meals,and whose turn it was to gather firewood.Their unpleasant quarrel echoed through the quiet forest,breaking the peace that enveloped them.Each disagreement seemed to widen the crack between them until one evening when things took a dramatic turn. A sudden storm rolled in.The wind howled through the trees,and rain began to pour.In the disorder of securing the tent and gathering supplies to prevent them from getting wet,Tom slipped on a muddy path and hurt his ankle badly.Struggling with extreme pain,he knew that he had to turn to Campsite medical tent. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡上相应位置作答。 Noticing his brother in such a situation,Jack's heart softened immediately. As Tom healed,the brothers worked together to complete the camping trip. 第8页，共8页
