Today,AI tools can canry out difficult tasks on their own,deciding what information they need and how to do things step by step.It's no wonder AI is changing the way we live and leam. What role should AI play in schoolwork?To help answer this question,we've invited several experts to share their views A recent study warns that using AI for schoolwork may weaken teenagers'ability to think independently.Researchers watched brain activity during a writing task across three adult groups:AI users,search engine users,and independent thinkers.The AI users had the lowest level of brain activity.This is especially worying for developing brains. Dr.Smith According to global research,the need for AI and big-data skills in the job market will jump by 87%over the next five years and spread across more areas.Getting an early start and keeping up with AI education are important to future careers.That's why teenagers should take time to explore the latest AI tools.So perhaps using AI for schoolwork is not a yes-or-no question,but a how-to one. Dr.Li Biology study shows that our brain has about 100 billion electrical connections,called neurons ()They send and receive information from the body to help us understand our world.The brain grows new neurons when we learn and solve problems.Every time AI does schoolwork instead of us,our brain misses a chance to practise deep learning and build new connections.While we can Dr.Green ask AI to provide information,give advice or work with data,we should leave fact-checking, decision-making and creative tasks for ourselves. Now we invite YOU to tell us what you... )21.What is mainly discussed by the three experts in the passage? A.Why do teenagers need AI education? B.How is AI changing school education? C.Can AI help develop teenagers'brains? D.Should teenagers use AI for schoolwork? ()22.Why does Dr.Smith think the study is a warning for teenagers? A.Their brains are still growing. B.They cannot control their AI use. C.They use AI more often than adults do. D.Their brain activity was the lowest in the study. 第3页,共8页 ()23.According to Dr.Green,which is a proper way to use AI for an art project? A.Collect facts about painting styles B.Decide which painting style to introduce. C.Make sure the information is correct. D.Design a poster on the chosen style. ()24.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A.AI can help humans with information and data work. B.Using AI for all schoolwork weakens independent thinking. C.Teenagers'brains still grow when they "let AI do the work" D.AI skills will be more important in the future job market. ()25.What do the three experts all use to support their ideas? A.Stories and reasons. B.Numbers and examples. C.Findings from studies or research. D.Comparisons among different groups. B Have you ever wondered what else you can do on the train besides sleeping or scrolling through your phone?Actually,in China,trains have turned into centers which bring together the public and the nation's intangible cultural heritage (ICH,非物质文化遗产) Trains go across China and they are becoming ideal places for introducing local traditional culture.A good example is the K7041 train from Harbin to Mohe in Northeast China's Heilongjiang Province.On the ICH train, Gulayier,dressed in traditional clothes,sang Oroqen folk songs and his partner played the Oroqen jaw harp,a musical instrument.Tourists on the train,especially those from southern China,sang and danced excitedly with the two performers together.Gulayier said the train made it easier to hold tourists'attention to his shows.He thought the train was a good platform for promoting ICH. Traditional heritage comes to life on trains.More ICH such as Qinhuai lanterns from Nanjing,Yulin puppet shows,and tea-picking operas in Guangxi have also made appearances on high-speed trains across China. It offers passengers a close-up way to experience traditional culture. Professor Xiao Fang from Beijing Normal University shares Gulayier's opinion on the new use of ICH trains.He has pointed out another advantage of this.Beyond cultural promotion,it offers help for tourism.When passengers enjoy local traditions on board,they often develop a deeper interest in exploring the places they pass through. However,the ICH train journeys still have challenges,including the narrow space on trains and passengers getting on and off at each station.Therefore,some solutions are coming up-cultural comners show traditional arts,and QR codes connect to more digital information.These help passengers to explore ICH at their own pace and continue learning after their journey ends. The success of ICH trains offers valuable lessons for cultural protection worldwide,proving that innovation (and tradition can work together to keep cultural heritage alive for future generations. ()26.What is the fresh experience for passengers on the K7041 train? A.Travelling farther north. B.Joining in live shows. B.Wearing traditional clothes. D.Having fun on the phone. 第4页,共8页 ()27.What does the underlined word"platform"in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A.A special kind of train car for ICH shows B.A type of train ticket for cultural activities. C.Araised surface for performers to stand on. D.A place or opportunity to share and promote something. ()28.What do Gulayier and Professor Xiao both agree? A.ICH encourages more local visits. B.Trains help make ICH more popular C.ICH improves the Chinese train journeys. D.Passengers welcome performers on ICH trains. ()29.What does paragraph 5 mention about the ICH train journeys? A.Their features and influence. B.Their reasons and results. C.Their problems and methods. D.Their future and improvement. ()30.What can be the best title for the passage? A.Trains push China's intangible cultural heritage further B.China puts arms around local artists on ICH trains. C.More ICH trains begin running on railways in China. D.Train passengers share different local cultures of China.

Other people think it is like magic and it can't be 43 by science.Some also say that maybe we just imagine it or it is simply a coincidence(巧合). For most people,these special feelings do not happen often and it is 44 to worry about them.
