A Smart Pen
One day, Linda got a smart pen. It could write homework answers and even predict test questions. Her grades improved quickly, and she was happy. But soon, the pen began controlling her hand and writing strange words by itself. Linda told her father about it. After studying the words, he found that the pen was an educational device from aliens. It put a programme into human minds through answers. If someone used it often, they would help aliens take over the Earth someday. Linda was frightened and threw the pen away. Her father reminded her to learn by herself and think carefully, because smart tools weren't always good friends.

七、 阅读回答问题
Artificial intelligence (人工智能), or AI for short, has become an important part of our daily life. It is certain that AI will have a great influence on education in the next few years. Let’s see how.
The role of teachers
What will the role of teachers be in this robotic classroom of the future? Many teachers worry that AI will take their position. Actually, human teachers will always be needed to manage the classroom environment and to encourage students. A large part of education for children is teaching them social-emotional skills. While AI programs have proven they can teach students to read and solve math problems, teaching social-emotional skills is more complex (复杂的). That kind of learning needs the human touch that only teachers can provide.
Classrooms
Certain tasks can be made easier through the use of AI. Grading (评分), for example, can be done quickly and easily by using AI. In the future, some believe AI will even be able to tell if students are having problems with a certain subject based on their facial (面部的) expressions. AI can also provide a chance of receiving an education for those who have hearing problems or are unable to speak the local language.
AI outside the classroom
AI in education is extending (延伸) outside the classroom, too. The technology is also being used to help students to prepare for tests, such as college entrance exams. It can also help them do their homework.
Has your school used AI? Do you think AI is the future of education?
1. How soon will AI have a great influence on education?
2. Why are many teachers worried about the appearance of AI?
3. What is it that only teachers can provide for learning social-emotional skills?
4. How can AI benefit the people with hearing problems?
5. What can AI help students to do outside the classroom besides their homework?
【答案】1. In the next few years. 2. Because they worry that AI will take their position. 3. The human touch. 4. By providing a chance of receiving an education. 5. It can help students prepare for tests.
【解析】本文是说明文,主要介绍了人工智能(AI)在未来几年对教育在教师角色、教室场景及课外等方面产生的重大影响。
1. 根据文章第1段“It is certain that AI will have a great influence on education in the next few years.”可知,在未来几年人工智能将对教育产生重大影响。故填In the next few years.
2. 根据文章第2段“Many teachers worry that AI will take their position.”可知,许多老师担心人工智能出现是因为怕其取代自己的职位。故填Because they worry that AI will take their position.
3. 根据文章第2段“That kind of learning needs the human touch that only teachers can provide.”可知,学习社交情感技能方面,只有老师能提供人文接触。故填The human touch.
4. 根据文章第3段“AI can also provide a chance of receiving an education for those who have hearing problems”可知,人工智能能为有听力问题的人提供接受教育的机会。故填By providing a chance of receiving an education.
5. 根据文章第4段“The technology is also being used to help students to prepare for tests, such as college entrance exams. It can also help them do their homework.”可知,在课外,除了帮助做作业,人工智能还能帮助学生准备考试。故填It can help students prepare for tests.
八、语法填空
In 2050, a small cloud floats through the air in a hospital operating room. In the room a patient, suffering 1 cancer, lies on a table. The cloud surrounds the patient, 2 (cover) her body and filling her lungs. The cloud is not smoke or steam. It is made of millions of microscopic robots called nano-robots (纳米机器人). These tiny robots move from cell (细胞) to cell in the 3 (patient) body, destroying the cancer cells.

However, nano-robots could be 5 risk as well. Since nano-robots are so tiny, they will have to work in large teams of many thousands to many millions. For this reason, nano-robots will have to be programmed 6 (build) themselves. Scientists can’t build millions of nano-robots one by one.
This 7 (able) to reproduce is making some scientists worried. What if something goes wrong in the programming? Quite a lot of crazy nano-robots would be far 8 (bad) than any disease. Some people think that if they get out of control, nano-robots could destroy the earth.
What should 9 (do)? Should we continue researching nano-robots or should we search for other methods? This is one of the many difficult 10 (decide) that we have to make in the future.

十一、阅读理解
A
The sixth planet was ten times larger than the last one. There the little prince met an old gentleman who was writing a big book.
“What is that big book?” said the little prince. “What are you doing?”
“I am a geographer,” the old gentleman said to him. “And I am writing about all the seas, mountains and deserts.”
“That is interesting,” said the little prince. “So could you tell me something about your planet?”
“I couldn’t tell you,” said the geographer.
“But you are a geographer!”
“Exactly,” the geographer said. “But I am not an explorer. We don’t have any explorers here. I don’t go out to count the seas, mountains and deserts. Instead, I receive explorers from other planets in my study. I ask them questions, and I write down their answers.”
The geographer’s eyes suddenly shone with excitement.
“But you… you come from far away! You are an explorer! You shall describe your planet to me!”
“Oh, where I live,” said the little prince, “it is all so small. I have a flower on my planet.”
“We do not record flowers,” said the geographer.
“Why is that? The flower is the most beautiful thing on my planet”
“We do not record them,” said the geographer, “because they are ephemeral.”
“What does that mean... ‘ephemeral’?”
“Geographies,” said the geographer, “are the books about eternal things. The thing that matters to us is the mountain. It doesn’t change. But your flower is different. It will not last long. It is ephemeral.”
“My flower is ephemeral,” the little prince said to himself, “and I have left her on my planet, all alone!”
That was his first moment of regret. But he took courage and asked, “What place would you advise me to visit now?”
“The planet Earth,” replied the geographer. “I promise you will like it.”
And the little prince went away, thinking of his flower.
—Adapted from The Little Prince

The sun sets in a field in southern England. When it rises again the following morning, that field has been changed into a huge work of art. A large part of the crops (庄稼) has been pressed into a pattern of circles, squares and other shapes.
Farmers have reported finding strange circles in their fields for centuries. The earliest mention of a crop circle dates back to the 1500s. Crop circles, however, didn’t get attention until 1980. When a farmer in England discovered three circles in his field, the world first began to learn about crop circles.
By the 1990s, crop circles had become something of a tourist attraction. In 1990 alone, more than 500 circles appeared in Europe. Within the next few years, there were thousands.
Crop circles can come in many different shapes, changing in size. Most early crop circles were simple. But after 1990, the circles have changed. Crops can be made to look like just about anything-smiling faces, flowers or even words.
People have long been wondering who or what is creating these crop circles. Possibly the most widely known idea is that crop circles are the work of visitors from other planets.
Probably the most scientific opinion says that crop circles are created by vortices (旋涡). They force the air down to the ground, which presses the crops down. There is something similar which is thought to be caused by vortices. Dr. Terence Meaden, an expert, says when the dust (尘土) gets caught up in a vortex, it can appear to glow (发光), which may explain the UFO-like glowing lights many people have seen.
1. How does the writer introduce the topic of the passage?
A. By telling a story. B. By asking a question.
C. By giving a comparison. D. By describing a scene.
2. When did the world become interested in crop circles?
A. In the 1500s. B. After 1980. C. In 1900. D. After 1990.
3. Which of the following is TRUE about crop circles in Paragraph 4?
A. Early crop circles were very small in size.
B. Large crop circles are usually round in shape.
C. All kinds of crop circles began to appear after 1990.
D. Flower-shaped crop circles were first found in the 1500s.
4. Which point do you think Dr. Terence Meaden would agree with?
A. Crop circles may be man-made.
B. Crop circles could be marks left by aliens.
C. The UFO-like light could be caused by dust.
D. Vortices are sure to create perfectly shaped crop circles.

It’s made to believe,
Women are the same as Men;
Are you not convinced,
Daughters can also be heroic?
This is a poem written by Wang Zhenyi. As a pioneering woman in many fields, including science, maths, geography, literature, archery, horseback riding, and medicine, she lived a short but colorful life.
Back in the Qing Dynasty, women were not allowed to have an education. However, being a girl full of curiosity, Wang Zhenyi tried to teach herself to explore the world. Her family also supported her. Her grandfather shared with her a good collection of books and the basic rules of astronomy while her father taught her maths.
At 16, Wang continued to study on her own. Sometimes she felt upset when she didn’t understand some ideas. But she said, “I won’t give up because I love the subject so much.”
Wang Zhenyi believed that science should be spread to more than just the well-educated. The more people learned about the world, the bigger progress the society would achieve. At that time, people believed natural events such as eclipses (日月食) were the signs of gods’ anger. Wang decided to create a model to explain how it happened. A lunar eclipse happens when the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon in a straight line (Sun—Earth—Moon). Earth blocks the Sun’s light from reaching the Moon, and the Moon moves into Earth’s shadow. Wang used a light as the Sun, a mirror as the Moon and a round table as the Earth. By moving the objects around, she was able to explain how a lunar eclipse appeared. She spent years working on the difficult scientific rules and laws and explained them in simple language for readers.
Sadly, Wang died of a disease at 29. Worse still, most of her works have become lost, including six books on maths and astronomy. Although Wang lived in the old times, she believed a woman could develop her talents to the fullest. She is a role model to girls today. In 1994, the International Astronomical Union recognized her bright spirit by naming a crater (陨石坑) on Venus after her.
1. What do we know about Wang Zhenyi’s learning?
A. She received an excellent school education.
B. She learned maths to support her family.
C. She found it easy to understand science.
D. She was taught by her family and also taught herself.
2. Why did Wang Zhenyi do the experiment?

B. To record it in her book.
C. To help people understand nature.
D. To carry out scientific research.
3. Which picture of Wang’s experiment shows the lunar eclipse?

七、 阅读回答问题
Artificial intelligence (人工智能), or AI for short, has become an important part of our daily life. It is certain that AI will have a great influence on education in the next few years. Let’s see how.
The role of teachers
What will the role of teachers be in this robotic classroom of the future? Many teachers worry that AI will take their position. Actually, human teachers will always be needed to manage the classroom environment and to encourage students. A large part of education for children is teaching them social-emotional skills. While AI programs have proven they can teach students to read and solve math problems, teaching social-emotional skills is more complex (复杂的). That kind of learning needs the human touch that only teachers can provide.
Classrooms
Certain tasks can be made easier through the use of AI. Grading (评分), for example, can be done quickly and easily by using AI. In the future, some believe AI will even be able to tell if students are having problems with a certain subject based on their facial (面部的) expressions. AI can also provide a chance of receiving an education for those who have hearing problems or are unable to speak the local language.
AI outside the classroom
AI in education is extending (延伸) outside the classroom, too. The technology is also being used to help students to prepare for tests, such as college entrance exams. It can also help them do their homework.
Has your school used AI? Do you think AI is the future of education?
1. How soon will AI have a great influence on education?
2. Why are many teachers worried about the appearance of AI?
3. What is it that only teachers can provide for learning social-emotional skills?
4. How can AI benefit the people with hearing problems?
5. What can AI help students to do outside the classroom besides their homework?
八、语法填空

However, nano-robots could be 5 risk as well. Since nano-robots are so tiny, they will have to work in large teams of many thousands to many millions. For this reason, nano-robots will have to be programmed 6 (build) themselves. Scientists can’t build millions of nano-robots one by one.
This 7 (able) to reproduce is making some scientists worried. What if something goes wrong in the programming? Quite a lot of crazy nano-robots would be far 8 (bad) than any disease. Some people think that if they get out of control, nano-robots could destroy the earth.
What should 9 (do)? Should we continue researching nano-robots or should we search for other methods? This is one of the many difficult 10 (decide) that we have to make in the future.

The sixth planet was ten times larger than the last one. There the little prince met an old gentleman who was writing a big book.
“What is that big book?” said the little prince. “What are you doing?”
“I am a geographer,” the old gentleman said to him. “And I am writing about all the seas, mountains and deserts.”
“That is interesting,” said the little prince. “So could you tell me something about your planet?”
“I couldn’t tell you,” said the geographer.
“But you are a geographer!”
“Exactly,” the geographer said. “But I am not an explorer. We don’t have any explorers here. I don’t go out to count the seas, mountains and deserts. Instead, I receive explorers from other planets in my study. I ask them questions, and I write down their answers.”
The geographer’s eyes suddenly shone with excitement.
“But you… you come from far away! You are an explorer! You shall describe your planet to me!”
“Oh, where I live,” said the little prince, “it is all so small. I have a flower on my planet.”
“We do not record flowers,” said the geographer.
“Why is that? The flower is the most beautiful thing on my planet”
“We do not record them,” said the geographer, “because they are ephemeral.”
“What does that mean... ‘ephemeral’?”
“Geographies,” said the geographer, “are the books about eternal things. The thing that matters to us is the mountain. It doesn’t change. But your flower is different. It will not last long. It is ephemeral.”
“My flower is ephemeral,” the little prince said to himself, “and I have left her on my planet, all alone!”
That was his first moment of regret. But he took courage and asked, “What place would you advise me to visit now?”
“The planet Earth,” replied the geographer. “I promise you will like it.”
And the little prince went away, thinking of his flower.
