Hundreds of arrows flew towards me, and some of them hit my face and hands. They felt like hundreds of small needles sticking into my skin. I had to cover my face with my hand to protect myself. When the arrows stopped, I couldn’t help crying out in pain. I tried to pull my right hand free too, but the ropes were too strong. More arrows came, and some of the tiny men even climbed up my body with knives. I decided to lie still and wait until it was dark. I thought I could break all the ropes easily when it got dark._____ However, the tiny people stopped attacking me after a while. I heard a soft voice near my right ear. A man who seemed to be an officer was talking to me. I couldn’t understand a word he said, but I could tell from his voice that he was not angry. He kept talking for a long time, and I answered him in my own language, even though he couldn’t understand me either. Soon, the tiny people brought a lot of food and drink to me. They put small baskets of bread and meat into my mouth, one by one. I was so hungry that I ate all of them quickly. They also gave me two big barrels of wine, and I drank them all. After eating and drinking, I felt very sleepy, and soon I fell into a deep sleep. Later, I learned that the tiny people had put sleeping medicine into the wine. When I was asleep, they used more than 1,000 horses to carry me to their capital city to meet their king. 1．What is the correct order of the following events? ①The tiny people brought food and drink to Gulliver. ②Gulliver broke free from the ropes on his left hand. ③The tiny people shot arrows at Gulliver. ④ Gulliver fell into a deep sleep after drinking the wine.

Passage 7 On November 17th, at the 15th National Games, 16-year-old Chen Yujie from Ningbo won the women’s 100-meter final with a great time of 11.10 seconds. She not only set a new personal best but also broke the Asian U20 record—and became the youngest women’s 100 m champion in the event’s history. Chen’s success was not an accident. She was born into a family of runners. When she was a kid, she first practiced tennis. In the fifth grade, people noticed her talent for running fast, and she started professional training with coach Wu Yacun. At first, she wasn’t good at moving her arms and legs together. So she practiced swinging her arms hundreds of times every day to get better. Even now, as a high school student, she balances study and training. She goes to classes in the morning and practices for three hours every afternoon. Her talent and non-stop hard work helped her make progress all the time. At 14, she won two gold medals at the U15 World School Summer Games. She even matched the long-time records of the event. In 2024, she joined the national training team. In 2025, she won two gold medals at the Asian Championships—in the women’s 200 m and 4×100 m relay. At the National Games, she ran 11.39 seconds in the heats and 11.33 seconds in the semi-finals. Then she won the final. She felt nervous under pressure, but she quickly calmed down and did her best. Chen’s story offers valuable lessons. It shows that talent works well with hard work. Like her, we can reach our goals by balancing study and hobbies and keeping trying. It also proves that age doesn’t stop us from chasing dreams. Whether we face study problems or sports goals, we should keep pushing ourselves. Just like Chen loves “overcoming difficulties”, let’s learn from this young runner and work hard for our own dreams! 1．What can we know about Chen Yujie from the first paragraph? A．She won the 100 m gold when she was 14. B．She set a new Asian U20 record in 2024. C．She is the youngest women’s 100 m champion in National Games history.

Here are some of our likes. My name is Tina. My favourite hobby is singing. I started singing at 3. Four years later, my mom sent me to the Children’s Palace to learn music. I won many competition awards. I think the best thing in life is sitting in the sun, listening to music and singing along. One of my friends, Victor, likes collecting stamps. He has stamps from England, Canada, China and more. On his birthday, people always give him stamps. His favourite stamps are from France—he has almost all from 1954 to 2004, but needed a 1974 special edition. Victor also has a French pen friend, Phillip. Once Phillip’s mother gave Phillip an old green stamp. When Victor got Phillip’s letter, he was surprised: the stamp on the envelope was the 1974 special one! He was very happy. Another friend, Nancy, loves reading most. When she was little, she read comic books; now she likes fiction. “Reading is fun. My favourite fiction is Pride and Prejudice—it gives knowledge and teaches the right attitude toward life. Reading makes my life complete. I’ll keep reading,” Nancy says. Everyone has a hobby. Hobbies make life colourful and bring benefits—they help us relax after hard work, and give activities to retired people. 1．When Tina was ______ years old, she began to learn music.

A．①—②③④⑤ B．①②③④—⑤ C．①—②—③—④—⑤ D．①—②③④—⑤ Passage 9 It was Day 1 of our vacation on Cortes, a beautiful quiet island. “My phone, my phone, my phone.” My son kept moaning (呻吟). In front of him was a big window facing the blue ocean. And a cool soft wind was blowing in through the door. Clearly, he saw and felt none of it. Back at home, I’d soon give up and hand the phone over to him after five minutes of listening to this kind of moaning. But not here. Before we left, I had told my 10-year-old son the rule-no emails, no social media (社交媒体), no video games, and no phones. We came here to get away from them all. Here we were on our first day and already, he couldn’t stand it. ▲ I walked down the grass road to the beach and looked out to the sea. My 6-year-old daughter and my husband were drawing on pieces of wood. They were doing just fine. On Day 2, we spent the whole morning digging for shells (贝壳). This time, my son joined us. He was excited to collect shellfish and other sea treasures. When we got back to our little wood house, I gave my son a book and put him on the lovely garden chair. It was almost dinner when he looked up. The next few days passed in peace. On Day 6, my son was lying beside me on the beach, watching the sun going down. He was playing with the sand. And there was something shining in his eyes. I realized how time slowed down for both of us. It was just what I wanted. Finally, we were able to sit quietly without thinking about screens, phone calls or emails. A week’s life away from all the electronics (电子设备) was good. 1．What is the special rule for the writer’s vacation? A．They couldn’t use any of their electronics.

Passage 10 With the rapid development of the Internet, online tours have become increasingly popular among middle school students. They offer us a wonderful chance to visit world-famous places freely and comfortably without stepping out of our homes. Last week, I took two amazing online tours with my classmates. First, we visited the Palace Museum in Beijing, the ancient home of Chinese emperors. On the website, we enjoyed clear pictures of wonderful buildings, valuable treasures and classic paintings. The online guide introduced its long history and interesting stories in a lively way, making us feel like we were really walking through the halls. After that, we visited the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. We enjoyed its tall and beautiful shape, especially the amazing night views with bright lights. We also learned about its special culture and long history through the videos and introductions. Online tours are not only cheap and convenient but also full of fun. We don’t need to buy tickets or take long trips. They open our eyes to different cultures and history, bringing us both joy and knowledge. I will certainly take more online tours to learn about the wonderful world in my free time. 1．What has become popular among students according to the passage? A．Online games. B．Online tours.

In today’s world, teenagers are surrounded by short videos, games and messages on mobile phones. These short and exciting things make it hard for them to focus on one thing for a long time. However, reading a book is different. When you read a story, you need to follow the plot, remember the characters and understand the hidden meaning of the story. This requires your brain to focus continuously for a long time, just like a muscle exercise. A study from the University of California found that teenagers who read for at least 30 minutes every day have a much longer attention span than those who never read. They can focus on their studies better and get higher grades in exams. What’s more, reading can also improve their memory. When you read a novel, you need to remember a lot of details, such as the characters’ names, their experiences and the development of the story. This helps to make your memory stronger. Besides, reading can also help teenagers calm down. When you are angry or stressed, sitting down and reading a good book can take your mind off your worries. You can enter a different world in the book, and forget about the unhappy things in real life. Reading is not just a hobby. It is a useful skill that can help teenagers grow better in many ways. So pick up a book and start reading today! 1．What makes it hard for teenagers to focus on one thing for a long time? A．Reading books for a long time. B．Short videos, games and messages on phones. C．Too much homework every day. D．The difficulty of their studies. 2．The underlined word “continuously” in Paragraph 2 probably means __________. A．with stops and breaks B．without stopping or taking breaks C．at a very high speed D．at a very low speed 3．What is the writer’s main purpose of writing this passage? A．To tell readers the benefits of reading for teenagers’ attention. B．To show how to improve teenagers’ memory through reading. C．To explain why teenagers don’t like reading books. D．To introduce different types of books for teenagers. 4．Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．How to Form a Good Reading Habit B．The Best Way to Improve Your Memory C．Reading and Teenagers’ Attention Span D．Different Benefits of Reading for Adults Passage 12 What should you do if there’s an earthquake at school? How can you protect yourself when you are caught in a stampede (踩踏)? March 25 every year provides you with a good chance to learn about safety. This day is called the National Day of Education on the Safety of Elementary and Middle School Students (NDESEMSS) (全国中小学生安全教育日). It aims to provide students with more safety knowledge. A survey showed that school accidents kill more elementary and middle school students than anything else. The accidents usually come from stampedes, earthquakes, fires and sports injuries. What can we do to keep ourselves safe? I think staying calm is the most important when facing accidents. But different accidents have different self-protection advice. A stampede is possible anywhere. When students around you begin to push, stand still and try to hold onto something, or stay in a corner until the crowd leaves. If you fall down in a moving crowd, cover your head with both hands. Move to one side, and bend (弯曲) your body and legs. Earthquakes are common natural disasters (灾难). When you feel the ground shake, drop down, take cover under a desk and hold on. You should stay indoors until the shaking stops. If you are outdoors, don’t stay near buildings, trees or power lines. In case of fire, follow the teachers’ instructions, leave the classroom quickly. Cover your mouth and nose with a piece of wet cloth and crawl (匍匐) low under the smoke to breathe fresh air. Safety is everything. Let’s take it seriously and grow up healthily and safely. 1．When is NDESEMSS? A．On March 5th. B．On March 15th. C．On March 25th. D．On May 25th. 2．The main school accidents come from ________ according to the survey. ①Traffic accidents.    ②Earthquakes.    ③Fires.    ④Sports injuries. A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④ 3．What should you do first if you fall down in a moving crowd? A．Cover your head. B．Run to a corner. C．Stand up quickly. D．Push others away. 4．Which of the following is an opinion? A．You should stay indoors until the shaking stops. B．Different accidents have different self-protection advice. C．Staying calm is the most important when facing accidents. D．NDESEMSS aims to provide students with more safety knowledge. 5．What’s the best title for this passage? A．How to Be brave B．How to Protect Yourself C．How to Learn Well D．How to Run away from Accidents Passage 13 The History of Money From ancient times when a cow could be traded for a horse, to the 21st century when we can buy things with a bank card, humans have always needed a way to trade at an agreed price. The first system was barter, which worked well for a long time. But as the population grew, life became more complicated. People needed a standard unit to measure value, so money was born. Chinese people were the first to use money. They used shells as currency as early as 3,000 years ago. Later, they used copper and bronze. In 1023, the world’s first paper money, jiaozi, appeared in Chengdu, China. In ancient Europe, around the 6th or 5th century BCE, people used gold and silver to make coins. Around the 17th century, paper money became popular in Europe because it was easier to carry. In the early 19th century, the Bank of England introduced “gold-backed” paper money, which could be exchanged for gold or silver in the bank. This made people feel more secure. Today, we use digital currency more and more. But the history of money shows us that it is always changing to meet people’s needs. 1．What is a barter system? A．A system of using paper money. B．A system of trading things directly, like a cow for a horse. C．A system of using digital currency. D．A system of using gold and silver coins. 2．When did the world’s first paper money appear? A．3,000 years ago. B．In the 6th century BCE. C．In 1023. D．In the 17th century. 3．Why did paper money become popular in Europe? A．It was more valuable than gold. B．It was easier to carry. C．It was cheaper than coins. D．It was more beautiful than coins. 4．What is “gold-backed” paper money? A．Paper money that is made of gold. B．Paper money that can be exchanged for gold or silver in the bank. C．Paper money that is only used in China. D．Paper money that is worth a lot of gold. 5．What can we learn from the history of money? A．Money is always changing to meet people’s needs. B．Paper money is the best form of money. C．Barter system is still used today. D．Gold is the only valuable form of money. Passage 14 What things are acceptable when you are at the dinner table and what things are serious breaches (违反) of manners? I will tell you some of the most important American table manners. When you sit down to eat, you should place the napkin (餐巾) across your lap. You should never talk with your mouth full and should chew (咀嚼) with your mouth closed. If someone asks you a question while you are chewing, you should finish chewing and then swallow (吞下) the food before answering. You should never drop scraps (残羹剩饭) on the table. Instead, place them on a spare plate. Besides, only put food on someone else’s plate if they ask for it. And if they say they don’t want anything else to eat or drink, then you shouldn’t give them anything else. Never use your knife or fork to point at others because it is rude. In China, I know it’s rude to point with your chopsticks. It’s common practice to place food into friends’ bowls and to put drinks in their glasses even after they have said they don’t want any more. It’s fine to drop the scraps onto the table. Besides, talking while you’re eating is okay. Manners are different all over the world and can even be different in different parts of a country. Have you ever seen foreigners do anything impolite? Is there anything you have done that they might see as impolite? 1．What should you do first when you sit down to eat in America? A．Give thanks. B．Clean the tableware (餐具). C．Take a photo of the food. D．Place the napkin on the lap. 2．What can we know from the passage? A．American people don’t talk with others at the dinner table. B．It is common to place food into a friend’s bowl in America. C．American people like asking others to eat as much as possible. D．It is rude to point with the tableware in America and in China. 3．What is the structure of the passage? (P-Paragraph) A． B． C． D． 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．Table Manners in America B．How to Behave Well in China C．American and Chinese Table Manners D．Manners All over the World Passage 15 Do you have a long list of hobbies that light you up but find it hard to balance them all? You’re not alone! The real challenge isn’t having too many hobbies, but how you manage them. In this passage, we’ll share how to enjoy all your hobbies without tiring yourself. Focus on what you enjoy now. It’s not easy to follow every hobby at the same time. The key is to focus on the hobbies that can bring you the most energy right now. For example, this month you’re excited about photography, but next month, you might want to try cooking. By switching hobbies based on what excites you, you’ll stay interested and avoid feeling tired. Set a flexible schedule (灵活的时间表). A flexible schedule helps you stay organized without pressure. You can create time blocks, such as one evening for drawing and another for guitar practice. If one hobby catches your attention more than the other, feel free to give it more time. ▲ Why not get creative and combine (结合) your hobbies when possible? For example, if you love being outdoors and photography, take your camera with you when you go out. By doing this, you can enjoy the best of both worlds while keeping things fresh and exciting. Perfection is not necessary. When you have many interests, it’s easy to feel pressure to be good at all of them. However, hobbies are supposed to be enjoyable, not stressful! Focus on the learning process and let go of the need to be perfect. It’s okay to be “just okay” at some things—what matters most is that they bring you joy. 1．What is the real challenge for people with too many hobbies? A．Managing hobbies well.

We go through good times and hard times. I’m Frank. Here is a story in my life. Last month, I went camping with my family. It was a fine day. We bought everything we needed and set out early in the morning excitedly. After three hours’ drive, we arrived at the camping place. We put up a tent together and made a fire. Then I went to take care of my little sister, and my brother went fishing in a river nearby. Suddenly, the weather turned bad, and it rained heavily soon. Dad shouted loudly to us. Then I realised my brother didn’t show up. Without thinking, I ran down to the river to look for him, but there was no sign of him. I was very worried at that time. I walked along the river. Suddenly, I saw some footprints (脚印). I was nervous and followed them until I found my brother in the middle of the river. I looked around and found a long rope (绳子) under a big tree. Then I threw it to him and pulled him up successfully. I felt very happy. All in all, saving my brother from danger brought me greater joy than camping.

But you get really angry every time you think of them. If you don’t let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness (痛苦). Bitterness appears when we can’t forgive (原谅) someone who has hurt us or made us angry. But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think we’re hurting that person by criticizing (指责) him or her often, but we’re really only hurting ourselves. Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our relationships with friends and family members. No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long. If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it. First, accept it. Instead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it. Then stop making excuses for it. You may feel you have a right to be angry. You may think you’re right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life. Last but not least, learn to forgive and forget it. You probably can’t completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the other person, Forget it and move on. You’ll enjoy better health and peace of mind. 1．When you hate someone, you may feel ________. A．excited and surprised B．angry and painful C．worried and nervous 2．What’s the harm of being angry with someone? A．It hurts our parents’ hearts.

C．Learning to face it and try to forgive. 5．Which of the following can be a proper title for the text? A．Letting Go of Anger. B．Holding onto Bitterness. C．Learning from Mistakes · 新话题拓展练 topic：智慧教学 Passage 19 （24-25八年级下·内蒙古呼伦贝尔·期中）Should we use artificial intelligence (AI,人工智能) in schools? Some people may say no, but many experts think we should use it in a good way. They say AI can help us learn better. Zheng Qinghua, president of Tongji University, said it’s important for us to use AI in education. He believed that Al could help us learn new things and get better at what we study. He also suggested that young people should improve their understanding of the knowledge created by technology. In fact, AI has already become more and more important for teaching and learning. Zheng stressed the widespread use of different models (模型) , such as Ernie Bot, an AI chatbot (聊天机器人) developed by Baidu. It can write papers, solve science problems and do homework. Students also used AI for their study. A survey made by online learning platform showed that over 89 percent of students in the US had used Chat GPT to help them do homework. However, some people worry that it may bring the problem of academic integrity (学术诚信) and bad influence on education. Instead of simply using AI to give answers or finish homework and tests, people should focus on using AI to help students be creative and have the ability of solving real-world problems, said Zheng. Colin Bailey, president of Queen Mary University of London, said that as Chat GPT develops fast, stopping AI from being used in schools is not the answer. Instead, we should think about how to use it safely and in the right way. To achieve it, people around the world are working on rules to make sure AI is used properly. In the US, people are making a plan to protect people’s rights with chatbots. China also has some interim measures (临时的措施) for managing AI services. China Daily 1．Which one is the meaning of the underlined word in the text? A．压力 B．强调 C．重读 2．According to the passage, what can AI do? ① chat with you    ② Write articles      ③ do homework ④ protect people’s rights A．①②④ B．①②③ C．②③④ 3．From the passage, we can know that ________. A．All the college students in Tongji University use AI to learn new things B．less than 89 percent of students had used AI to do homework C．Students may not be honest in their academic work by using AI 4．Which is the best title of the passage? A．AI technology is developing fast in China B．The development of AI around the world C．Using AI in the right way could help students and teachers $专题06 阅读理解（应用文&记叙文&说明文） 题型1 应用文 题型2 记叙文 题型3 说明文 · 真题聚焦 · 新话题拓展练 —— 智慧教学 1 / 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 题型1 应用文 Passage 1 Animal Protection Group♥Volunteers Wanted♥Do you love animals?

Hundreds of arrows flew towards me, and some of them hit my face and hands. They felt like hundreds of small needles sticking into my skin. I had to cover my face with my hand to protect myself. When the arrows stopped, I couldn’t help crying out in pain. I tried to pull my right hand free too, but the ropes were too strong. More arrows came, and some of the tiny men even climbed up my body with knives. I decided to lie still and wait until it was dark. I thought I could break all the ropes easily when it got dark._____ However, the tiny people stopped attacking me after a while. I heard a soft voice near my right ear. A man who seemed to be an officer was talking to me. I couldn’t understand a word he said, but I could tell from his voice that he was not angry. He kept talking for a long time, and I answered him in my own language, even though he couldn’t understand me either. Soon, the tiny people brought a lot of food and drink to me. They put small baskets of bread and meat into my mouth, one by one. I was so hungry that I ate all of them quickly. They also gave me two big barrels of wine, and I drank them all. After eating and drinking, I felt very sleepy, and soon I fell into a deep sleep. Later, I learned that the tiny people had put sleeping medicine into the wine. When I was asleep, they used more than 1,000 horses to carry me to their capital city to meet their king. 1．What is the correct order of the following events? ①The tiny people brought food and drink to Gulliver. ②Gulliver broke free from the ropes on his left hand. ③The tiny people shot arrows at Gulliver. ④ Gulliver fell into a deep sleep after drinking the wine.

D．I was so scared that I tried to run away from the beach. 3．The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 refers to __________. A．the ropes B．the arrows C．the tiny people D．the knives 4．Why did the tiny people put sleeping medicine into the wine? A．Because they wanted to make Gulliver sleep and take him to the capital. B．Because they wanted to kill Gulliver while he was sleeping. C．Because they wanted to thank Gulliver for not attacking them. D．Because they wanted to make friends with Gulliver. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文主要讲格列佛被小人国的人们攻击，当格列佛不反抗后，他们给格列佛送了很多食物和加了安眠药的酒，格列佛最终被送至首都见国王的故事。 1．根据第一段“After I broke free from the ropes on my left hand,”和“Hundreds of arrows flew towards me”可知，格列佛最先将他的左手挣脱绳索，然后小人国的人向他发射箭攻击他。根据第四段“Soon, the tiny people brought a lot of food and drink to me.”可知，格列佛放弃反抗后，小人国的人给他送食物和喝的。根据第四段“After eating and drinking, I felt very sleepy, and soon I fell into a deep sleep.”可知，格列佛大吃大喝后就睡着了。所以顺序是②③①④。 2．根据后文“However, the tiny people stopped attacking me after a while.”可知，小人国的人们停止了对我的攻击，而且前后文是转折关系。那么空白处需表达格列佛预期小人国人会继续攻击，因此作好反击准备，与下文“然而他们停止了攻击”形成转折。选项B符合语境。 3．根据前文“Hundreds of arrows flew…my face and hands.”可知，这里的“They”指的是前文提到的箭，这些箭感觉像针一样扎在身上，符合句意。 4．根据最后一段“When I was asleep, they…to meet their king.”可知，小人国的人们把安眠药放到酒里是为了等格列佛睡着后把他运至首都见国王。 Passage 7 On November 17th, at the 15th National Games, 16-year-old Chen Yujie from Ningbo won the women’s 100-meter final with a great time of 11.10 seconds. She not only set a new personal best but also broke the Asian U20 record—and became the youngest women’s 100 m champion in the event’s history. Chen’s success was not an accident. She was born into a family of runners. When she was a kid, she first practiced tennis. In the fifth grade, people noticed her talent for running fast, and she started professional training with coach Wu Yacun. At first, she wasn’t good at moving her arms and legs together. So she practiced swinging her arms hundreds of times every day to get better. Even now, as a high school student, she balances study and training. She goes to classes in the morning and practices for three hours every afternoon. Her talent and non-stop hard work helped her make progress all the time. At 14, she won two gold medals at the U15 World School Summer Games. She even matched the long-time records of the event. In 2024, she joined the national training team. In 2025, she won two gold medals at the Asian Championships—in the women’s 200 m and 4×100 m relay. At the National Games, she ran 11.39 seconds in the heats and 11.33 seconds in the semi-finals. Then she won the final. She felt nervous under pressure, but she quickly calmed down and did her best. Chen’s story offers valuable lessons. It shows that talent works well with hard work. Like her, we can reach our goals by balancing study and hobbies and keeping trying. It also proves that age doesn’t stop us from chasing dreams. Whether we face study problems or sports goals, we should keep pushing ourselves. Just like Chen loves “overcoming difficulties”, let’s learn from this young runner and work hard for our own dreams! 1．What can we know about Chen Yujie from the first paragraph? A．She won the 100 m gold when she was 14. B．She set a new Asian U20 record in 2024. C．She is the youngest women’s 100 m champion in National Games history.

So she practiced swinging her arms hundreds of times every day to get better.”可知，是为了更好地协调她的胳膊和腿。 3．根据“In 2025, she won two gold medals at the Asian Championships—in the women’s 200 m and 4×100 m relay. At the National Games, she ran 11.39 seconds in the heats and 11.33 seconds in the semi-finals.”可知，她在2025年亚洲锦标赛上获得两枚金牌。 4．根据“In the fifth grade, people noticed her talent for running fast”可知，她在跑步方面很有天赋；根据“Her talent and non-stop hard work helped her make progress all the time.”可知，她很努力；根据“She felt nervous under pressure, but she quickly calmed down and did her best.”和“Just like Chen loves ‘overcoming difficulties’”可知，她意志力坚定。 5．根据“Just like Chen loves ‘overcoming difficulties’, let’s learn from this young runner and work hard for our own dreams!”可知，这篇文章是鼓励读者为梦想而努力。 Passage 8 How do you spend your free time? What do you like to do? Here are some of our likes. My name is Tina. My favourite hobby is singing. I started singing at 3. Four years later, my mom sent me to the Children’s Palace to learn music. I won many competition awards. I think the best thing in life is sitting in the sun, listening to music and singing along. One of my friends, Victor, likes collecting stamps. He has stamps from England, Canada, China and more. On his birthday, people always give him stamps. His favourite stamps are from France—he has almost all from 1954 to 2004, but needed a 1974 special edition. Victor also has a French pen friend, Phillip.

In front of him was a big window facing the blue ocean. And a cool soft wind was blowing in through the door. Clearly, he saw and felt none of it. Back at home, I’d soon give up and hand the phone over to him after five minutes of listening to this kind of moaning. But not here. Before we left, I had told my 10-year-old son the rule-no emails, no social media (社交媒体), no video games, and no phones. We came here to get away from them all. Here we were on our first day and already, he couldn’t stand it. ▲ I walked down the grass road to the beach and looked out to the sea. My 6-year-old daughter and my husband were drawing on pieces of wood. They were doing just fine. On Day 2, we spent the whole morning digging for shells (贝壳). This time, my son joined us. He was excited to collect shellfish and other sea treasures. When we got back to our little wood house, I gave my son a book and put him on the lovely garden chair. It was almost dinner when he looked up. The next few days passed in peace. On Day 6, my son was lying beside me on the beach, watching the sun going down. He was playing with the sand. And there was something shining in his eyes. I realized how time slowed down for both of us. It was just what I wanted. Finally, we were able to sit quietly without thinking about screens, phone calls or emails. A week’s life away from all the electronics (电子设备) was good. 1．What is the special rule for the writer’s vacation? A．They couldn’t use any of their electronics. B．They must keep quiet and stay in the house. C．They had to spend their vacation on an island. D．They should collect as many shells as possible. 2．Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 4? A．I felt really tired and went to bed. B．I closed the door and stayed with him. C．I just walked outside to leave him alone. D．I gave him his phone and let him stay inside. 3．What activities did the son do during the vacation? ① read a book      ② used his phone    ③ played with the sand ④ lay on the beach   ⑤ drew pictures      ⑥ collected shellfish A．①③⑤⑥ B．②③④⑥ C．①③④⑥ D．①②③⑤ 4．Which of the following can best describe the change of the son’s feelings? A．Angry→surprised→proud. B．Bored→excited→pleased. C．Worried→angry→hopeful. D．Bored→peaceful→surprised. 5．What’s the story mainly talking about? A．The writer’s son is crazy about phones. B．Digging for shells is a fun activity on vacation. C．Cortes is a beautiful and quiet island for vacation. D．A family enjoyed a peaceful vacation without electronics. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．C 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者一家在科尔特斯岛度假，期间远离所有电子设备，儿子从一开始无法忍受没有手机，到逐渐享受自然、平静度过假期的故事。 1．第三段明确提到度假规则：“no emails, no social media, no video games, and no phones”，即不能使用任何电子设备。 2．第四段空白处后内容：“I walked down the grass road to the beach and looked out to the sea.”，说明“我”走出去了，结合前文孩子一直呻吟，由此可知作者把儿子单独留下。 3．第五段到第七段说明儿子在假期做的活动：“This time, my son joined us. He was excited to collect shellfish and other sea treasures.”说明儿子收集了贝类；“I gave my son a book and put him on the lovely garden chair.”说明儿子读了书；“On Day 6, my son was lying beside me on the beach, watching the sun going down. He was playing with the sand.”说明儿子躺在沙滩上玩沙子。所以儿子在假期做的活动是①③④⑥。 4．第五段到第七段描述儿子情感变化：一开始儿子一直呻吟要手机，很无聊；“He was excited to collect shellfish and other sea treasures.”说明收集贝类时很兴奋；“And there was something shining in his eyes. I realized how time slowed down for both of us. It was just what I wanted. Finally, we were able to sit quietly without thinking about screens, phone calls or emails.”说明最后儿子很愉悦。心情变化为Bored→excited→pleased。 5．全文围绕一家人远离电子设备、度过平静假期展开，因此主旨是一家人享受了没有电子设备的高兴假期。 Passage 10 With the rapid development of the Internet, online tours have become increasingly popular among middle school students. They offer us a wonderful chance to visit world-famous places freely and comfortably without stepping out of our homes. Last week, I took two amazing online tours with my classmates.

After that, we visited the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. We enjoyed its tall and beautiful shape, especially the amazing night views with bright lights. We also learned about its special culture and long history through the videos and introductions. Online tours are not only cheap and convenient but also full of fun. We don’t need to buy tickets or take long trips. They open our eyes to different cultures and history, bringing us both joy and knowledge.

In today’s world, teenagers are surrounded by short videos, games and messages on mobile phones. These short and exciting things make it hard for them to focus on one thing for a long time. However, reading a book is different. When you read a story, you need to follow the plot, remember the characters and understand the hidden meaning of the story. This requires your brain to focus continuously for a long time, just like a muscle exercise. A study from the University of California found that teenagers who read for at least 30 minutes every day have a much longer attention span than those who never read. They can focus on their studies better and get higher grades in exams. What’s more, reading can also improve their memory. When you read a novel, you need to remember a lot of details, such as the characters’ names, their experiences and the development of the story. This helps to make your memory stronger. Besides, reading can also help teenagers calm down. When you are angry or stressed, sitting down and reading a good book can take your mind off your worries. You can enter a different world in the book, and forget about the unhappy things in real life. Reading is not just a hobby. It is a useful skill that can help teenagers grow better in many ways. So pick up a book and start reading today! 1．What makes it hard for teenagers to focus on one thing for a long time? A．Reading books for a long time. B．Short videos, games and messages on phones. C．Too much homework every day. D．The difficulty of their studies. 2．The underlined word “continuously” in Paragraph 2 probably means __________. A．with stops and breaks B．without stopping or taking breaks C．at a very high speed D．at a very low speed 3．What is the writer’s main purpose of writing this passage? A．To tell readers the benefits of reading for teenagers’ attention. B．To show how to improve teenagers’ memory through reading. C．To explain why teenagers don’t like reading books. D．To introduce different types of books for teenagers. 4．Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．How to Form a Good Reading Habit B．The Best Way to Improve Your Memory C．Reading and Teenagers’ Attention Span D．Different Benefits of Reading for Adults 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了当下青少年易受电子产品干扰而注意力不集中，阅读能帮助青少年提升专注力、增强记忆力并舒缓情绪。 1．文章第二段“teenagers are surrounded by short videos… make it hard for them to focus on one thing for a long time.”，可知如今手机上的短视频，游戏和信息包围着青少年，这使得他们很难长时间专注于一件事。 2．第二段最后一句话“This requires your brain to focus continuously for a long time…”，根据“for a long time”很长一段时间，推断continuously表示不间断地，对应B选项的“without stopping or taking breaks”。 3．作者写这篇文章的主要目的是告诉大家阅读能给青少年带来很多好处，尤其是在提升他们的注意力时长方面，对应第一段“reading can bring … their attention span.”。 4．文章反复提到阅读和青少年注意力的关系，C选项“Reading and Teenagers’ Attention Span”直接点出了这两个核心主题，所以是最佳标题。 Passage 12 What should you do if there’s an earthquake at school? How can you protect yourself when you are caught in a stampede (踩踏)? March 25 every year provides you with a good chance to learn about safety. This day is called the National Day of Education on the Safety of Elementary and Middle School Students (NDESEMSS) (全国中小学生安全教育日). It aims to provide students with more safety knowledge. A survey showed that school accidents kill more elementary and middle school students than anything else. The accidents usually come from stampedes, earthquakes, fires and sports injuries. What can we do to keep ourselves safe? I think staying calm is the most important when facing accidents. But different accidents have different self-protection advice. A stampede is possible anywhere. When students around you begin to push, stand still and try to hold onto something, or stay in a corner until the crowd leaves. If you fall down in a moving crowd, cover your head with both hands. Move to one side, and bend (弯曲) your body and legs. Earthquakes are common natural disasters (灾难). When you feel the ground shake, drop down, take cover under a desk and hold on. You should stay indoors until the shaking stops. If you are outdoors, don’t stay near buildings, trees or power lines. In case of fire, follow the teachers’ instructions, leave the classroom quickly. Cover your mouth and nose with a piece of wet cloth and crawl (匍匐) low under the smoke to breathe fresh air. Safety is everything. Let’s take it seriously and grow up healthily and safely. 1．When is NDESEMSS? A．On March 5th. B．On March 15th. C．On March 25th. D．On May 25th. 2．The main school accidents come from ________ according to the survey. ①Traffic accidents.    ②Earthquakes.    ③Fires.    ④Sports injuries. A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④ 3．What should you do first if you fall down in a moving crowd? A．Cover your head. B．Run to a corner. C．Stand up quickly. D．Push others away. 4．Which of the following is an opinion? A．You should stay indoors until the shaking stops. B．Different accidents have different self-protection advice. C．Staying calm is the most important when facing accidents. D．NDESEMSS aims to provide students with more safety knowledge. 5．What’s the best title for this passage? A．How to Be brave B．How to Protect Yourself C．How to Learn Well D．How to Run away from Accidents 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．A 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了三种学校常见的事故，以及面对这些事故时，我们应该怎么做。 1．根据第一段“March 25 every year provides you with a good chance to learn about safety.”和“This day is called the National Day of Education on the Safety of Elementary and Middle School Students (NDESEMSS) (全国中小学生安全教育日).”可知，全国中小学生安全教育日在每年3月25日。 2．根据第三段“The accidents usually come from stampedes, earthquakes, fires and sports injuries.”可知，事故通常来自踩踏、地震、火灾和运动伤害，不包含交通事故。 3．根据第五段“If you fall down in a moving crowd, cover your head with both hands.”可知，如果你在移动的人群中摔倒，你应该先捂住你的头。 4．事实是客观已存在的信息，观点是作者的主观判断。选项C“Staying calm is the most important when facing accidents.”是作者提出的主观看法。 5．全文围绕突发事故中如何自我保护展开，分别介绍了踩踏、地震、火灾等场景的自保方法，核心主题是“如何保护自己”。 Passage 13 The History of Money From ancient times when a cow could be traded for a horse, to the 21st century when we can buy things with a bank card, humans have always needed a way to trade at an agreed price. The first system was barter, which worked well for a long time. But as the population grew, life became more complicated. People needed a standard unit to measure value, so money was born. Chinese people were the first to use money. They used shells as currency as early as 3,000 years ago. Later, they used copper and bronze. In 1023, the world’s first paper money, jiaozi, appeared in Chengdu, China. In ancient Europe, around the 6th or 5th century BCE, people used gold and silver to make coins. Around the 17th century, paper money became popular in Europe because it was easier to carry. In the early 19th century, the Bank of England introduced “gold-backed” paper money, which could be exchanged for gold or silver in the bank. This made people feel more secure. Today, we use digital currency more and more. But the history of money shows us that it is always changing to meet people’s needs. 1．What is a barter system? A．A system of using paper money. B．A system of trading things directly, like a cow for a horse. C．A system of using digital currency. D．A system of using gold and silver coins. 2．When did the world’s first paper money appear? A．3,000 years ago. B．In the 6th century BCE. C．In 1023. D．In the 17th century. 3．Why did paper money become popular in Europe? A．It was more valuable than gold. B．It was easier to carry. C．It was cheaper than coins. D．It was more beautiful than coins. 4．What is “gold-backed” paper money? A．Paper money that is made of gold. B．Paper money that can be exchanged for gold or silver in the bank. C．Paper money that is only used in China. D．Paper money that is worth a lot of gold. 5．What can we learn from the history of money? A．Money is always changing to meet people’s needs. B．Paper money is the best form of money. C．Barter system is still used today. D．Gold is the only valuable form of money. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了货币的发展历史——从古代的物物交换，到中国最早的纸币交子，再到欧洲的黄金支持纸币，直至如今的数字货币，货币始终在不断变化以满足人们的需求。 1．第一段指出物物交换的定义：“From ancient times when a cow could be traded for a horse...” 和 “The first system was barter, which worked well for a long time.”，这直接说明物物交换是直接用物品交换物品的系统。 2．第三段明确说明：“In 1023, the world’s first paper money, jiaozi, appeared in Chengdu, China.”，因此世界上第一种纸币出现在 1023 年。 3．第四段说明纸币在欧洲流行的原因：“Around the 17th century, paper money became popular in Europe because it was easier to carry.”，因此纸币在欧洲流行是因为它更容易携带。 4．第四段明确解释：“In the early 19th century, the Bank of England introduced “gold-backed” paper money, which could be exchanged for gold or silver in the bank.”，因此 “黄金支持” 纸币是可以在银行兑换成黄金或白银的纸币。 5．最后一段点明核心：“But the history of money shows us that it is always changing to meet people’s needs.”，结合全文围绕货币的发展历史展开，因此我们能学到货币一直在变化以满足人们的需求。 Passage 14 What things are acceptable when you are at the dinner table and what things are serious breaches (违反) of manners? I will tell you some of the most important American table manners. When you sit down to eat, you should place the napkin (餐巾) across your lap. You should never talk with your mouth full and should chew (咀嚼) with your mouth closed. If someone asks you a question while you are chewing, you should finish chewing and then swallow (吞下) the food before answering. You should never drop scraps (残羹剩饭) on the table. Instead, place them on a spare plate. Besides, only put food on someone else’s plate if they ask for it. And if they say they don’t want anything else to eat or drink, then you shouldn’t give them anything else. Never use your knife or fork to point at others because it is rude. In China, I know it’s rude to point with your chopsticks. It’s common practice to place food into friends’ bowls and to put drinks in their glasses even after they have said they don’t want any more. It’s fine to drop the scraps onto the table. Besides, talking while you’re eating is okay. Manners are different all over the world and can even be different in different parts of a country. Have you ever seen foreigners do anything impolite? Is there anything you have done that they might see as impolite? 1．What should you do first when you sit down to eat in America? A．Give thanks. B．Clean the tableware (餐具). C．Take a photo of the food. D．Place the napkin on the lap. 2．What can we know from the passage? A．American people don’t talk with others at the dinner table. B．It is common to place food into a friend’s bowl in America. C．American people like asking others to eat as much as possible. D．It is rude to point with the tableware in America and in China. 3．What is the structure of the passage? (P-Paragraph) A． B． C． D． 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．Table Manners in America B．How to Behave Well in China C．American and Chinese Table Manners D．Manners All over the World 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了美国和中国不同的餐桌礼仪，包括在美国就餐时餐巾的摆放、咀嚼时的注意事项、食物残渣的处理等，以及中国就餐时用筷子指人、给朋友夹菜、将残渣掉在桌上和就餐时交谈等方面的礼仪，同时指出世界各地礼仪存在差异。 1．第一段提到“When you sit down to eat, you should place the napkin (餐巾) across your lap.”，这直接说明在美国就餐时，坐下后首先要做的是把餐巾放在大腿上。 2．文中提到“Never use your knife or fork to point at others because it is rude.”以及“In China, I know it’s rude to point with your chopsticks.”，由此可知，在美国用刀叉指人和在中国用筷子指人都是不礼貌的。 3．第一段总体引出要介绍美国重要餐桌礼仪的话题；第二段详细阐述美国餐桌礼仪；第三段讲述中国餐桌礼仪；第四段总结世界各地礼仪不同。所以文章结构是P1/P2P3/P4。 4．文章既介绍了美国餐桌礼仪，又介绍了中国餐桌礼仪，C选项“American and Chinese Table Manners”能很好地概括文章主旨，适合作为标题。 Passage 15 Do you have a long list of hobbies that light you up but find it hard to balance them all? You’re not alone! The real challenge isn’t having too many hobbies, but how you manage them. In this passage, we’ll share how to enjoy all your hobbies without tiring yourself. Focus on what you enjoy now. It’s not easy to follow every hobby at the same time. The key is to focus on the hobbies that can bring you the most energy right now. For example, this month you’re excited about photography, but next month, you might want to try cooking. By switching hobbies based on what excites you, you’ll stay interested and avoid feeling tired. Set a flexible schedule (灵活的时间表). A flexible schedule helps you stay organized without pressure. You can create time blocks, such as one evening for drawing and another for guitar practice. If one hobby catches your attention more than the other, feel free to give it more time. ▲ Why not get creative and combine (结合) your hobbies when possible? For example, if you love being outdoors and photography, take your camera with you when you go out. By doing this, you can enjoy the best of both worlds while keeping things fresh and exciting. Perfection is not necessary. When you have many interests, it’s easy to feel pressure to be good at all of them. However, hobbies are supposed to be enjoyable, not stressful! Focus on the learning process and let go of the need to be perfect. It’s okay to be “just okay” at some things—what matters most is that they bring you joy. 1．What is the real challenge for people with too many hobbies? A．Managing hobbies well. B．Deciding which hobby to give up. C．Finding enough time for each hobby. D．Choosing which hobby to begin with. 2．Why is setting a flexible schedule suggested? A．It provides people with more time to try new hobbies. B．It helps people stick to the schedule more easily. C．It gives people more chances to make friends. D．It allows people to enjoy hobbies more freely. 3．Which of the following can be put in ▲ ? A．Mix hobbies for more fun. B．Take up more hobbies. C．Turn a hobby into an action. D．Plan your trip ahead of time. 4．What is the writer’s attitude (态度) about being perfect in each hobby? A．It’s doubtful. B．It’s respectable. C．It’s needless. D．It’s surprising. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了平衡多个爱好的方法，包括聚焦当下、灵活安排、结合爱好、不必追求完美。    1．根据第1段中的“The real challenge isn’t having too many hobbies, but how you manage them.”可知，对于爱好太多的人来说，真正的挑战是如何管理好爱好。 2．根据“Set a flexible schedule (灵活的时间表).”中介绍的“A flexible schedule helps you stay organized without pressure. You can create time blocks, such as one evening for drawing and another for guitar practice. If one hobby catches your attention more than the other, feel free to give it more time.”可知，灵活时间表能让人无压力地安排时间，可自由调整时长，核心是让人们更自由地享受爱好。 3．根据空格处段落中的“Why not get creative and combine (结合) your hobbies when possible?”可知，该段主题是将不同爱好结合，获得双重乐趣，A选项“混合爱好以获得更多乐趣”完美契合段落主旨，适合作为小标题。 4．根据“Perfection is not necessary.”以及该段中的“However, hobbies are supposed to be enjoyable, not stressful! Focus on the learning process and let go of the need to be perfect.”可知， 作者明确提出“完美不是必要的”，强调爱好的核心是享受而非追求完美。 · 真题聚焦 Passage 16 （25-26八年级下·山西太原·期中）请阅读下面语篇，从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出一个最佳选项。 1．People can have a health check for free at ________.

Some people think they are living a wonderful life, while others think they are living a boring life. It is true that life isn’t always full of sunshine and flowers. We go through good times and hard times. I’m Frank. Here is a story in my life. Last month, I went camping with my family. It was a fine day. We bought everything we needed and set out early in the morning excitedly. After three hours’ drive, we arrived at the camping place. We put up a tent together and made a fire. Then I went to take care of my little sister, and my brother went fishing in a river nearby. Suddenly, the weather turned bad, and it rained heavily soon. Dad shouted loudly to us. Then I realised my brother didn’t show up. Without thinking, I ran down to the river to look for him, but there was no sign of him. I was very worried at that time. I walked along the river. Suddenly, I saw some footprints (脚印). I was nervous and followed them until I found my brother in the middle of the river. I looked around and found a long rope (绳子) under a big tree. Then I threw it to him and pulled him up successfully. I felt very happy. All in all, saving my brother from danger brought me greater joy than camping. I learned that there was nothing happier than being with the people we love. Thank you, my family. You made me understand the true meaning of life! 1．When did Frank go camping with his family?

But you get really angry every time you think of them. If you don’t let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness (痛苦). Bitterness appears when we can’t forgive (原谅) someone who has hurt us or made us angry. But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think we’re hurting that person by criticizing (指责) him or her often, but we’re really only hurting ourselves. Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our relationships with friends and family members. No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long. If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it. First, accept it. Instead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it. Then stop making excuses for it. You may feel you have a right to be angry. You may think you’re right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life. Last but not least, learn to forgive and forget it. You probably can’t completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the other person, Forget it and move on.

If you don’t let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness (痛苦)”，直接说明讨厌一个人时会感到愤怒和痛苦。 2．第一段倒数第2句说明：“Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our relationships with friends and family members.”，表明愤怒带来的怨恨会损害健康与人际关系。 3．第二段第3句提到：“Instead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it.”，句中instead of表示转折，后文强调要“接受”愤怒，因此deny的含义与accept相反，即“否认/拒绝承认”。 4．第二段第2句“First, accept it.”以及倒数第3-4句“Last but not least, learn to forgive and forget it...Forget it and move on.”，说明作者应对怨恨的建议是直面愤怒、学会原谅并放下。 5．文章围绕愤怒转化为怨恨的危害、如何放下愤怒展开，核心主旨为“放下愤怒”，“Holding onto Bitterness”为文章反对的做法，“Learning from Mistakes”偏离文章主题。 · 新话题拓展练 topic：智慧教学 Passage 19 （24-25八年级下·内蒙古呼伦贝尔·期中）Should we use artificial intelligence (AI,人工智能) in schools? Some people may say no, but many experts think we should use it in a good way. They say AI can help us learn better. Zheng Qinghua, president of Tongji University, said it’s important for us to use AI in education. He believed that Al could help us learn new things and get better at what we study. He also suggested that young people should improve their understanding of the knowledge created by technology. In fact, AI has already become more and more important for teaching and learning. Zheng stressed the widespread use of different models (模型) , such as Ernie Bot, an AI chatbot (聊天机器人) developed by Baidu. It can write papers, solve science problems and do homework. Students also used AI for their study. A survey made by online learning platform showed that over 89 percent of students in the US had used Chat GPT to help them do homework. However, some people worry that it may bring the problem of academic integrity (学术诚信) and bad influence on education. Instead of simply using AI to give answers or finish homework and tests, people should focus on using AI to help students be creative and have the ability of solving real-world problems, said Zheng. Colin Bailey, president of Queen Mary University of London, said that as Chat GPT develops fast, stopping AI from being used in schools is not the answer. Instead, we should think about how to use it safely and in the right way. To achieve it, people around the world are working on rules to make sure AI is used properly. In the US, people are making a plan to protect people’s rights with chatbots. China also has some interim measures (临时的措施) for managing AI services.

A．AI technology is developing fast in China B．The development of AI around the world C．Using AI in the right way could help students and teachers 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，探讨了人工智能（AI）在学校教育中的应用问题。文章通过引用专家观点和调查数据，阐述了AI在教育中的利弊，并强调了正确使用AI的重要性。 1．词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“Zheng stressed the widespread use of different models (模型) , such as Ernie Bot, an AI chatbot (聊天机器人) developed by Baidu.”可知，郑清华强调了不同模型（如百度开发的AI聊天机器人Ernie Bot）的广泛应用。根据上下文语境，这里的“stressed”意为“强调”。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“It can write papers, solve science problems and do homework.”以及第六段“Colin Bailey, president of Queen Mary University of London, said that as Chat GPT develops fast, stopping AI from being used in schools is not the answer.”可知，AI可以写论文、解决科学问题和做作业，并且聊天机器人可以与人聊天。因此，AI可以聊天、写文章和做作业，但不能保护人们的权利。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第五段“However, some people worry that it may bring the problem of academic integrity (学术诚信) and bad influence on education.”可知，有些人担心AI可能会带来学术诚信问题，并对教育产生不良影响。因此，可以推断出学生使用AI可能会在学术工作中不诚实。故选C。 4．标题归纳题。根据文章大意和最后一段“To achieve it, people around the world are working on rules to make sure AI is used properly.”可知，本文主要讨论了如何在教育中正确使用AI，以及如何确保AI被正确使用。因此，最佳标题应该是“Using AI in the right way could help students and teachers”。故选C。 $
