In the 1840s the main crop,potatoes,was affected by disease and about 750,000 people died of hunger.This,and a shortage of work,forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA,the UK,Australia and Canada.As a result,the population fell from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851. For many years,the majority of Irish people earned their living as farmers.Though many people still follow the routine nowadays,more and more people are moving to the cities to work in factories and offices.Life in the cities is very different from life in the countryside,where things move at a quieter and slower pace. The Irish are famous for being warm-hearted and friendly.Oscar Wilde,a famous Irish writer,once said that the Irish were "the greatest talkers since the Greeks".Since independence,Ireland has revived its own culture of music,language and literature.Traditional Irish songs vary by region,with some sung without any instruments.Other kinds of Irish music use many different instruments such as the violin and whistles. 28.What does the underlined word "vanquish"in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A.Conquer. B.Ruin. C.Protect. D.Free. 29.Why did the population of Ireland once decrease greatly? A.The Irish were killed by the English rulers. B.The Irish were affected by a deadly disease. C.The Irish didn't want to give birth to babies. D.The Irish suffered from food and work shortage. 30.How did most Irish people make their living? A.By working in the fields. B.By working in factories. C.By trading with other countries. D.By performing musical instruments. 31.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Life in Ireland B.Ireland,Past and Present C.A Very Difficult History D.The Independence of Ireland [高一英语期中试题共8页第4页] D Many educators have been teaching themselves how to use AI.For Jerome Ong,a 5th- grade teacher in Ridgewood,New Jersey,AI has changed the way he approaches teaching.He now uses AI tools every week in his classroom."You have to find what works for your students,he said.Ong not only teaches his students what AI is,but also shows them its limitations.In class,he has students challenge AI repeatedly."If you keep correcting it and say,'No,you're wrong,'eventually AI will admit its mistake.This shows students that AI isn't really as smart as they think it is,"Ong explained. This summer,Microsoft,OpenAI and Anthropic announced a first-of-its-kind plan to train hundreds of thousands of members of the American Federation of Teachers(AFT)."I think if we're going to make AI work for students,we need to listen to teachers,"said Microsoft president Brad Smith.The $23 million investment will go toward virtual and in-person training in New York City. "The direct connection between a teacher and their kids can never be replaced by new technologies,but if we leamn how to use them,set practical guidelines and put teachers in the driver's seat,teaching and learning can be better,said AFT President Randi Weingarten. However,critics()mention cheating concerns and Microsoft's own research,which 如 showed a reduction in critical thinking skills when AI was not used responsibly.AFT member Lois Weiner thinks teachers would be better served by more support within schools than by a partnership with Silicon Valley."There is so much boredom in the job,but the answer to that is 邮 to improve teachers'working conditions,"said Weiner,adding that AI does not create better work conditions for teachers. Smith argued education should be left to teachers:"Those of us in the tech field need to 长 provide the tools and help school boards,districts,and teachers so they decide how to put those tools into practice.” 32.What can we infer from Paragraph 1? A.AI makes frequent mistakes. B.AI breaks down completely. C.AI sometimes fails to meet expectations.D.AI runs out of power quickly. 数 33.What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A.Tech companies will train American teachers. B.Microsoft donates 23 million to poor schools. 翰 C.Brad Smith supports students in using Al. D.AI firms help improve kids'learning ability. 34.What can be inferred from Lois Weiner's comments? 阳 A.AI may relieve teachers from boring tasks. B.Teachers are smarter than AI systems. C.More school-based support is needed for teachers. D.Cooperating with tech companies is helpful for teachers. 35.What is Brad Smith's attitude towards AI in education? A.Disapproving.B.Favorable. C.Doubtful. D.Uncaring. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 余选项。 Negative Effects of Social Media Social media is,arguably,one of the most exciting developments in recent history.It helps families and friends stay connected,offers a useful tool to look back on positive memories,and even helps those who are struggling find support among strangers.Despite so many benefits,it has negative effects that you need to be aware of.

All in all,when used wisely,social media can be a great way to connect with others when face-to-face interactions are impossible.40 +A.Kill Creativity B.Decrease Sleep Time C.Achieving goals takes hard work and motivation D.However,we also need to avoid its negative effects E.Also,it's very clear that privacy and the Intemet don't mix well F.This makes communication more complicated and causes misunderstanding G.This could be particularly harmful to people suffering anxiety and depression 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Last summer,my grandfather suggested I spend a week with him,helping to restore an old community garden.I was initially hesitant(犹豫的)，as I had no41_in gardening and feared failure.

I still recall the first day in the school dining hall.While waiting in line for food,I heard a group of students excitedly discussing an upcoming English drama show for freshmen.As I 烯 passed by,they glanced at me with surprise."He looks so small,"someone said in a low voice.My face burned with embarrassment and I lowered my head.Pretending not to hear them,I slipped into the farthest seat available and had my meal alone. In my first English class,I sat at my desk,staring blankly at the book.The letters and words seemed to dance confusingly across the page and laugh at me.Losing interest quickly,I began drawing on the book.A few minutes later,my English teacher,Mr Frank-a kind man- walked up to me.
