A WORLD’S FASTEST ROBOT FINISHES HALF MARATHON IN UNDER 50 MINUTES Beijing, April 19, 2026 — The second annual Beijing E-Town Humanoid Robot Half Marathon made history today as a robot named “Lightning” crossed the finish line in 50 minutes and 26 seconds, beating the human world record by nearly seven minutes. Lightning, developed by the Chinese company Honor Robotics, stood 1.75 meters tall and weighed 65 kilograms. Unlike last year’s competitors, which needed remote control for most of the race, Lightning ran 85% of the course completely autonomously, using its onboard AI to navigate turns, avoid obstacles, and manage its energy. “When we started this project two years ago, our goal was simply to finish,” said Dr. Lin Wei, chief engineer at Honor Robotics. “Now we are talking about beating human records. This shows how fast the field is advancing.” The race featured 35 robots from 12 countries. Six of them completed the full 21.0975-kilometer distance, compared to only two in 2025. A robot from Germany named “Beethoven” came in second with a time of 1 hour and 12 minutes, while “Tiangong Ultra” from China placed third. One of the most touching moments came when a small robot called “Little Helper” fell at the 15-kilometer mark. Its team thought the race was over, but the robot stood up on its own after 30 seconds and continued. It finally finished in 2 hours and 55 minutes, receiving a standing ovation from the crowd. “These robots are not just machines,” said Liang Liang from Yizhuang’s Administrative Committee. “They show us what happens when human determination meets artificial intelligence. Their small steps today are giant leaps for tomorrow’s technology.” The event also included a “human-robot relay” where runners could pass a special token to a robot partner. More than 200 human runners signed up for this new category. 26. What is the main news of this report? A. A robot fell during the race but continued. B.

They used an AI coding tool called Codex to create a mobile app that helps elderly people remember to take their medicine on time. The app, named “MediPal”, won first prize in the National Youth Technology Innovation Competition. The team leader, 14-year-old Zhang Wei, said the idea came from his grandmother. “She has to take five different pills every day, but she often forgets which one to take when,” Zhang explained. “I wanted to build something simple, but I had zero coding experience. That’s when I discovered Codex.” Codex is an AI system developed by OpenAI that translates natural language commands into computer code. A user can type something like “create a button that says ‘morning medicine’ and when clicked, it shows a picture of a red pill,” and Codex will generate the actual programming code. The students spent two months learning how to use Codex effectively, testing over 200 versions before they were satisfied. “The hardest part was not the coding,” said team member Li Na, 13. “Codex handled that. The hardest part was understanding what elderly users really needed. We visited three nursing homes and interviewed 45 senior citizens. Many told us that the text on most apps is too small. So we made our buttons extra large and added voice reminders.” The app has four main functions: a medicine schedule with picture identification, voice alerts that read the medicine name aloud, a refill reminder when pills are running low, and an emergency call button that connects directly to a family member. What makes MediPal special is that it works offline—no internet connection is required. Professor Chen from Zhejiang University judged the competition. “What impressed me most was not the technology itself, but how these students used AI to solve a real human problem,” he said. “They didn’t just build an app; they built a solution with empathy.” The Hangzhou government has decided to provide free downloads of MediPal to all elderly citizens in the city starting in July. Zhang Wei and his team are now working on an English version. 31. What is Codex according to the passage? A. A mobile app for elderly people. B. An AI tool that writes computer code from human language. C. A competition for young technology innovators. D. A medicine reminder system used in nursing homes. 32. What was the most difficult part of creating MediPal? A. Learning how to use Codex. B. Testing over 200 versions of the app. C. Understanding what elderly users needed. D. Making the app work without the internet. 33. Which of the following is NOT a function of MediPal? A. Picture identification for medicines. B. Voice alerts that read medicine names. C. A chat room for elderly users to talk to each other. D. An emergency call button to family members. 34. What did Professor Chen mainly praise about the students’ work? A. Their coding skills using Codex. B. Their ability to win the competition. C. Their empathy in solving a real problem. D. Their hard work in visiting nursing homes. 35. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The app will only be available in Chinese. B. The government will charge money for the app. C. The team is expanding the app to reach more users. D. The students have stopped working on the project. 【答案】31. B 32. C 33. C 34. C 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了2026年3月，杭州的一群中学生利用AI编程工具Codex，开发了一款名为“MediPal”的老年用药提醒App，并在全国青少年科技创新大赛中获得一等奖的故事。 【31题详解】 第三段“Codex is an AI system... that translates natural language commands into computer code”：文章明确指出Codex是一个能将自然语言指令转化为计算机代码的 AI 系统，与选项B描述一致。 【32题详解】 第四段团队成员Li Na所说“The hardest part was understanding what elderly users really needed”：创建过程中最困难的部分是理解老年用户的真正需求。 【33题详解】 根据第五段列举的四个主要功能“medicine schedule with picture identification, voice alerts, refill reminder, emergency call button”可知，文中并未提及“聊天室（chat room）”功能。 【34题详解】 第六段Professor Chen的评价“What impressed me most was... how these students used AI to solve a real human problem... built a solution with empathy”：他主要赞扬的是学生用同理心解决实际问题。 【35题详解】 根据最后一段“Zhang Wei and his team are now working on an English version”可推断，团队正在开发英文版本，意在扩大应用范围以服务更多用户。 C The 2026 Spring Festival Gala’s robot dance performance was watched by over 1.2 billion people worldwide. But few people know about the “invisible” technology that made it possible: a system called Codex-Dance. This AI platform, developed by a Beijing-based company, allows humanoid robots to learn complex dance routines by watching just one video of a human dancer. Traditional robot programming requires engineers to write thousands of lines of code for each movement. A single dance step might need 500 separate commands. Codex-Dance changes everything. The system uses a technology called “movement capture translation.” Here’s how it works: First, a human dancer performs the routine while wearing special motion-tracking sensors. The sensors record every tiny movement—the bend of a finger, the tilt of the head, the shift of weight from one foot to the other. This data is fed into Codex-Dance. Then, the AI analyzes the data and breaks it down into what engineers call “movement tokens”—smallest units of motion, similar to how words are broken into letters. The robot’s body has 56 joints, and each joint can move in many directions. Codex-Dance figures out which joints need to move, how far, and how fast. Finally, the system translates these movement tokens into motor commands. The whole process takes about three hours. In 2025, the same process would have taken three months. “The leap is like going from a horse-drawn carriage to a bullet train,” said Dr. Wang, the lead developer. “But we couldn’t have done it without Codex. Codex handles the programming part—it writes the code that controls the motors. Our job was to teach Codex how to understand human movement.” The robots in the gala performance were not pre-programmed with specific moves. Instead, they were given a general “dance model” and then had to adjust to the music and each other in real time. This required the robots to communicate with each other 50 times per second, sharing information about their positions and next moves. One unexpected challenge was the weight of the costumes. The robots wore traditional silk outfits weighing nearly 3 kilograms. The extra weight affected their balance. The team solved this by having Codex-Dance recalculate the movement tokens with the new weight data—a process that took only 45 minutes. “What we’ve created is not just entertainment,” Dr. Wang said. “This technology can be used in rehabilitation hospitals to help patients learn to walk again. It can be used in factories to train robots for new tasks in hours instead of weeks. The same core AI that taught robots to dance can teach them to help people in countless ways.” 36. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To describe how robots performed at the Spring Festival Gala. B. To explain how Codex-Dance helps robots learn movements. C. To compare traditional and modern robot programming. D. To advertise a new AI product from a Beijing company. 37. How does Codex-Dance differ from traditional robot programming? A. It requires more engineers to operate. B. It uses thousands of lines of code for each movement. C. It allows robots to learn by watching videos. D. It only works for dance performances. 38. What does the underlined word “token” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. A small piece of metal used as money. B. A ticket that allows you to do something. C. A basic unit of something larger. D. A sign of respect or appreciation. 39. What unexpected problem did the team face during the gala performance? A. The robots could not communicate with each other. B. The traditional costumes added weight that affected balance. C. The music was too fast for the robots to follow. D. The stage was too small for 50 robots. 40. According to Dr. Wang, what is the potential future use of Codex-Dance? A. Only for entertainment events like the Spring Festival Gala. B. Helping patients learn to walk again in hospitals. C. Replacing human dancers in all performances. D. Making robots heavier and stronger for factories. 【答案】36. B 37. C 38. C 39. B 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了2026年春晚机器人表演背后的Codex-Dance技术，包括其工作原理、优势、遇到的挑战及未来应用前景。 【36题详解】 通读全文可知，文章重点介绍Codex-Dance这一AI平台的工作原理（通过观看一个视频学习舞蹈动作）、优势（从三个月缩短到三小时）以及未来应用，而非单纯描述表演或比较传统编程。 【37题详解】 根据第一段：“allows humanoid robots to learn complex dance routines by watching just one video of a human dancer.”以及第二段：“Traditional robot programming requires engineers to write thousands of lines of code for each movement.”， 传统编程需要工程师为每个动作编写数千行代码，而Codex-Dance通过“动作捕捉翻译”技术，让机器人观看人类舞者的一个视频即可学习。 【38题详解】 原文第四段直接给出解释：“smallest units of motion, similar to how words are broken into letters.”，即tokens指的是动作被分解后的最小单位。 【39题详解】 根据第八段：“One unexpected challenge was the weight of the costumes... The extra weight affected their balance.”，团队遇到的意外问题是服装重量影响了机器人平衡。 【40题详解】 最后一段提到：“This technology can be used in rehabilitation hospitals to help patients learn to walk again.”，该技术可用在康复医院，帮助病人重新学会行走。 非选择题（共50分） 四、填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） VII Let’s step into the world of Codex and AI coding.

Today, thanks to AI coding assistants like Codex, that number has dropped to 22%. What caused this dramatic change? Traditional coding education required students to memorize exact syntax—the specific rules of a programming language. A missing comma or a capital letter in the wrong place would cause the entire program to fail. Many students gave up after their first few errors. “I felt stupid,” said Li Ming, a 14-year-old from Guangzhou. “I would spend an hour looking for a typo. It wasn’t teaching me how to solve problems. It was just teaching me to be frustrated.” Codex changes this learning model entirely. Instead of typing code from memory, students describe what they want the program to do in everyday language. Codex then generates the code. The student’s job shifts from “getting the syntax right” to “checking if the code does what they intended.” This is a fundamental shift in the learning process. Educational psychologist Dr. Liu Wei explains: “When students use Codex, they spend less time on mechanical details and more time on logical thinking. They ask questions like ‘Why did the program do that?’ and ‘How could I make it better?’ These are exactly the higher-order thinking skills we want to develop.” However, not everyone is celebrating. Some educators worry that students will become dependent on AI and never learn to code on their own. Professor Zhang from Beijing University warns: “Codex is a tool, not a replacement for learning. Students still need to understand basic programming concepts. If they rely on Codex for everything, they will be lost when the AI makes a mistake or when they need to work without it.” The solution, many experts agree, is a balanced approach. Schools should teach traditional coding fundamentals alongside AI-assisted coding. Students should learn to read and understand code, even if they don’t write every line from scratch. They should also learn to debug—find and fix errors—because even AI-generated code can have problems. Several schools have already adopted this model. At Shanghai’s No. 2 Middle School, students spend 40% of their coding time working without AI assistance and 60% using Codex. Test results show that these students perform better on both AI-assisted and non-AI coding tests compared to students who use only one method. The message is clear: AI is not the enemy of learning. When used wisely, it can be the best teacher a student ever had. How AI Coding Assistants Are Changing Education The Problem Before AI Many students were ____56____ of coding because of strict syntax rules. A small mistake like a missing comma would make the ____57____ program fail. How Codex Helps Students describe their goals in ____58____ language, and Codex writes the code. The student’s job becomes checking the ____59____ instead of fixing syntax. Benefits Students focus more on ____60____ thinking and less on mechanical details. Concerns Some educators worry that students may become ____61____ on AI. The Balanced Approach Students should learn both traditional coding ____62____ and AI-assisted coding. They must also learn to ____63____ code, because AI-generated code is not always perfect. Your Opinion Do you think AI coding assistants like Codex should be allowed in schools? Why or why not? (Write at least 20 words.) _________________64_________________ 【答案】56. afraid 57. entire 58. everyday 59. code 60. logical 61. dependent 62. fundamentals 63. debug 64. Yes, I think AI coding assistants should be allowed because they help students focus on solving problems instead of worrying about small mistakes. But schools should also teach traditional coding so students understand the basics. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了AI编程助手（如Codex）如何改变编程教育，对比了传统编程学习的困难与AI辅助学习的优势，讨论了其中的担忧，并提出了平衡的教学方法。 【56题详解】 根据文章第1段“68% of middle school students felt ‘afraid’ or ‘nervous’ when learning to code（68% 的中学生在学习编程时感到‘害怕’或‘紧张’）”以及表格中were … of的搭配可知，be afraid of为固定搭配，意为“害怕”。故填afraid。 【57题详解】 根据文章第2段“A missing comma or a capital letter in the wrong place would cause the entire program to fail（缺少一个逗号或大写字母位置错误会导致整个程序失败）”可推知，小错误会使整个程序失败。故填entire。 【58题详解】 根据文章第3段“students describe what they want the program to do in everyday language（学生用日常语言描述他们想要程序做什么）”可推知，学生用日常语言描述目标。故填everyday。 【59题详解】 根据文章第3段“checking if the code does what they intended（检查代码是否达到了他们的预期）”可推知，学生的工作变成了检查代码而不是修复语法。故填code。 【60题详解】 根据文章第4段“spend less time on mechanical details and more time on logical thinking（花更少时间在机械细节上，更多时间在逻辑思维上）”可推知，学生更专注于逻辑思维。故填logical。 【61题详解】 根据文章第5段“students will become dependent on AI（学生将变得依赖 AI）”可推知，教育者担心学生可能会依赖AI。故填dependent。 【62题详解】 根据文章第6段“Schools should teach traditional coding fundamentals alongside AI-assisted coding（学校应该将传统编码基础与AI辅助编码一起教授）”可推知，学生应学习传统编码基础。故填fundamentals。 【63题详解】 根据文章第6段“They should also learn to debug—find and fix errors（他们也应该学习调试——发现并修复错误）”可推知，学生必须学习调试代码。故填debug。 【64题详解】 本题为开放性试题，需表达观点并给出理由，且不少于20词。参考答案表达了支持的观点，并提到了逻辑思维基础和避免依赖的理由，符合文意且字数达标。故填Yes, I think AI coding assistants should be allowed in schools.

A WORLD’S FASTEST ROBOT FINISHES HALF MARATHON IN UNDER 50 MINUTES Beijing, April 19, 2026 — The second annual Beijing E-Town Humanoid Robot Half Marathon made history today as a robot named “Lightning” crossed the finish line in 50 minutes and 26 seconds, beating the human world record by nearly seven minutes. Lightning, developed by the Chinese company Honor Robotics, stood 1.75 meters tall and weighed 65 kilograms. Unlike last year’s competitors, which needed remote control for most of the race, Lightning ran 85% of the course completely autonomously, using its onboard AI to navigate turns, avoid obstacles, and manage its energy. “When we started this project two years ago, our goal was simply to finish,” said Dr. Lin Wei, chief engineer at Honor Robotics. “Now we are talking about beating human records. This shows how fast the field is advancing.” The race featured 35 robots from 12 countries. Six of them completed the full 21.0975-kilometer distance, compared to only two in 2025. A robot from Germany named “Beethoven” came in second with a time of 1 hour and 12 minutes, while “Tiangong Ultra” from China placed third. One of the most touching moments came when a small robot called “Little Helper” fell at the 15-kilometer mark. Its team thought the race was over, but the robot stood up on its own after 30 seconds and continued. It finally finished in 2 hours and 55 minutes, receiving a standing ovation from the crowd. “These robots are not just machines,” said Liang Liang from Yizhuang’s Administrative Committee. “They show us what happens when human determination meets artificial intelligence. Their small steps today are giant leaps for tomorrow’s technology.” The event also included a “human-robot relay” where runners could pass a special token to a robot partner. More than 200 human runners signed up for this new category. 26. What is the main news of this report? A. A robot fell during the race but continued. B. A robot finished the half marathon faster than humans. C. More robots completed the race compared to last year. D. Human runners competed together with robots. 27. How much of the race did Lightning run without human control? A. 35% B. 50% C. 85% D. 100% 28. What can we learn about “Little Helper”? A. It was the fastest robot in the race. B. It was controlled by a human team. C. It showed great perseverance during the race. D. It was developed by a German company. 29. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Lightning is the first robot to ever run a half marathon. B. The 2026 race had fewer finishing robots than the 2025 race. C. A new relay event was introduced in the 2026 marathon. D. The German robot finished the race in less than one hour. 30. What is the best title for this news report? A. The History of Robot Marathons B. How to Train a Robot for Racing C. Robots Beat Human Record in Half Marathon D. Human Runners Lose to Robots in Beijing B In March 2026, a group of middle school students from Hangzhou did something extraordinary. They used an AI coding tool called Codex to create a mobile app that helps elderly people remember to take their medicine on time. The app, named “MediPal”, won first prize in the National Youth Technology Innovation Competition. The team leader, 14-year-old Zhang Wei, said the idea came from his grandmother. “She has to take five different pills every day, but she often forgets which one to take when,” Zhang explained. “I wanted to build something simple, but I had zero coding experience. That’s when I discovered Codex.” Codex is an AI system developed by OpenAI that translates natural language commands into computer code. A user can type something like “create a button that says ‘morning medicine’ and when clicked, it shows a picture of a red pill,” and Codex will generate the actual programming code. The students spent two months learning how to use Codex effectively, testing over 200 versions before they were satisfied. “The hardest part was not the coding,” said team member Li Na, 13. “Codex handled that. The hardest part was understanding what elderly users really needed. We visited three nursing homes and interviewed 45 senior citizens. Many told us that the text on most apps is too small. So we made our buttons extra large and added voice reminders.” The app has four main functions: a medicine schedule with picture identification, voice alerts that read the medicine name aloud, a refill reminder when pills are running low, and an emergency call button that connects directly to a family member. What makes MediPal special is that it works offline—no internet connection is required. Professor Chen from Zhejiang University judged the competition. “What impressed me most was not the technology itself, but how these students used AI to solve a real human problem,” he said. “They didn’t just build an app; they built a solution with empathy.” The Hangzhou government has decided to provide free downloads of MediPal to all elderly citizens in the city starting in July. Zhang Wei and his team are now working on an English version. 31. What is Codex according to the passage? A. A mobile app for elderly people. B. An AI tool that writes computer code from human language. C. A competition for young technology innovators. D. A medicine reminder system used in nursing homes. 32. What was the most difficult part of creating MediPal? A. Learning how to use Codex. B. Testing over 200 versions of the app. C. Understanding what elderly users needed. D. Making the app work without the internet. 33. Which of the following is NOT a function of MediPal? A. Picture identification for medicines. B. Voice alerts that read medicine names. C. A chat room for elderly users to talk to each other. D. An emergency call button to family members. 34. What did Professor Chen mainly praise about the students’ work? A. Their coding skills using Codex. B. Their ability to win the competition. C. Their empathy in solving a real problem. D. Their hard work in visiting nursing homes. 35. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The app will only be available in Chinese. B. The government will charge money for the app. C. The team is expanding the app to reach more users. D. The students have stopped working on the project. C The 2026 Spring Festival Gala’s robot dance performance was watched by over 1.2 billion people worldwide. But few people know about the “invisible” technology that made it possible: a system called Codex-Dance. This AI platform, developed by a Beijing-based company, allows humanoid robots to learn complex dance routines by watching just one video of a human dancer. Traditional robot programming requires engineers to write thousands of lines of code for each movement. A single dance step might need 500 separate commands. Codex-Dance changes everything. The system uses a technology called “movement capture translation.” Here’s how it works: First, a human dancer performs the routine while wearing special motion-tracking sensors. The sensors record every tiny movement—the bend of a finger, the tilt of the head, the shift of weight from one foot to the other. This data is fed into Codex-Dance. Then, the AI analyzes the data and breaks it down into what engineers call “movement tokens”—smallest units of motion, similar to how words are broken into letters. The robot’s body has 56 joints, and each joint can move in many directions. Codex-Dance figures out which joints need to move, how far, and how fast. Finally, the system translates these movement tokens into motor commands. The whole process takes about three hours. In 2025, the same process would have taken three months. “The leap is like going from a horse-drawn carriage to a bullet train,” said Dr. Wang, the lead developer. “But we couldn’t have done it without Codex. Codex handles the programming part—it writes the code that controls the motors. Our job was to teach Codex how to understand human movement.” The robots in the gala performance were not pre-programmed with specific moves. Instead, they were given a general “dance model” and then had to adjust to the music and each other in real time. This required the robots to communicate with each other 50 times per second, sharing information about their positions and next moves. One unexpected challenge was the weight of the costumes. The robots wore traditional silk outfits weighing nearly 3 kilograms. The extra weight affected their balance. The team solved this by having Codex-Dance recalculate the movement tokens with the new weight data—a process that took only 45 minutes. “What we’ve created is not just entertainment,” Dr. Wang said. “This technology can be used in rehabilitation hospitals to help patients learn to walk again. It can be used in factories to train robots for new tasks in hours instead of weeks. The same core AI that taught robots to dance can teach them to help people in countless ways.” 36.

A 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在短文后表格中小题的空格里填入最恰当的单词，回答小题。注意：第1~8小题每个空格只填1个单词；第9小题不少于20个词。 Three years ago, a survey found that 68% of middle school students felt “afraid” or “nervous” when learning to code. Today, thanks to AI coding assistants like Codex, that number has dropped to 22%. What caused this dramatic change? Traditional coding education required students to memorize exact syntax—the specific rules of a programming language. A missing comma or a capital letter in the wrong place would cause the entire program to fail. Many students gave up after their first few errors. “I felt stupid,” said Li Ming, a 14-year-old from Guangzhou. “I would spend an hour looking for a typo. It wasn’t teaching me how to solve problems. It was just teaching me to be frustrated.” Codex changes this learning model entirely. Instead of typing code from memory, students describe what they want the program to do in everyday language. Codex then generates the code. The student’s job shifts from “getting the syntax right” to “checking if the code does what they intended.” This is a fundamental shift in the learning process. Educational psychologist Dr. Liu Wei explains: “When students use Codex, they spend less time on mechanical details and more time on logical thinking. They ask questions like ‘Why did the program do that?’ and ‘How could I make it better?’ These are exactly the higher-order thinking skills we want to develop.” However, not everyone is celebrating. Some educators worry that students will become dependent on AI and never learn to code on their own. Professor Zhang from Beijing University warns: “Codex is a tool, not a replacement for learning. Students still need to understand basic programming concepts. If they rely on Codex for everything, they will be lost when the AI makes a mistake or when they need to work without it.” The solution, many experts agree, is a balanced approach. Schools should teach traditional coding fundamentals alongside AI-assisted coding. Students should learn to read and understand code, even if they don’t write every line from scratch. They should also learn to debug—find and fix errors—because even AI-generated code can have problems. Several schools have already adopted this model. At Shanghai’s No. 2 Middle School, students spend 40% of their coding time working without AI assistance and 60% using Codex. Test results show that these students perform better on both AI-assisted and non-AI coding tests compared to students who use only one method. The message is clear: AI is not the enemy of learning. When used wisely, it can be the best teacher a student ever had. How AI Coding Assistants Are Changing Education The Problem Before AI Many students were ____56____ of coding because of strict syntax rules. A small mistake like a missing comma would make the ____57____ program fail. How Codex Helps Students describe their goals in ____58____ language, and Codex writes the code. The student’s job becomes checking the ____59____ instead of fixing syntax. Benefits Students focus more on ____60____ thinking and less on mechanical details. Concerns Some educators worry that students may become ____61____ on AI. The Balanced Approach Students should learn both traditional coding ____62____ and AI-assisted coding. They must also learn to ____63____ code, because AI-generated code is not always perfect. Your Opinion Do you think AI coding assistants like Codex should be allowed in schools? Why or why not?

She is creating a mobile game using only her v____65____ commands. “I just say what I want, and Codex writes the code,” she explains with a smile. Wang Mei is one of thousands of Chinese students who are learning to code with the h____66____ of AI. Her game, called “Panda Rescue”, has already been downloaded 50,000 times. Players must help a baby panda find its way t____67____ a bamboo forest while avoiding obstacles. The game is simple, but it was entirely created by a teenager who had never written a line of code before this year. “My parents thought I was wasting time on the computer,” Wang Mei laughs. “Then I showed them the game on my phone. They couldn’t b____68____ their eyes.” The success of students like Wang Mei has caught the a____69____ of tech companies. Several companies have started “AI Coding Camps” where students learn to use Codex and similar tools. The camps are f____70____ free, thanks to government funding. More than 10,000 students attended these camps in the summer of 2025 alone. But learning to use AI is not just about making games. Some students are solving real-world p____71____. In Nanjing, a 13-year-old boy used Codex to create an app that helps his blind neighbor identify different medicine bottles by color. The app speaks the name of the medicine when the phone’s camera is pointed at the bottle. “We are seeing a new g____72____ of innovators,” says Dr. Lin, a professor at Tsinghua University. “They don’t need to spend years learning programming languages. They can start solving problems immediately. This is a revolutionary c____73____ in education.” However, Dr. Lin also has a warning. “AI is a powerful tool, but it cannot replace human creativity. The best ideas still come from the human mind. Students should use AI to bring their ideas to l____74____, not to think for them.” 六、书面表达（满分15分） XII Let’s share our thoughts about AI in education. 75. 假设你是李华，你的英国笔友Tom听说中国很多学校开始使用AI coding assistants (如Codex) 来帮助学生编程学习。他对此非常感兴趣，给你发来一封邮件，询问以下问题。请你用英语回复他。 Tom’s email: From: Tom@mail.uk Subject: AI coding tools in Chinese schools Dear Li Hua, I heard that many schools in China are now using AI tools like Codex to teach coding.
