However, a recent scientific report shows that the world lost 300,000 square kilometers of forests in 2024. That’s an area about the size of Italy. According to the report, for the first time ever, fires were the biggest cause of forest loss. ________This country has the largest area of rainforest in the world. Last year, it suffered from a long period of dry weather. Wildfires broke out and spread. As a result, about 25,000 square kilometers of the primary rainforest disappeared in the country. This meant fires caused 66% of its forest loss. The second biggest cause of the world’s forest loss was clearing land for farming. As people need more farmland, they keep cutting down forests every year. In 2024, the area of forest cleared for farming increased by 14% worldwide. The situation was more severe in developing countries. For example, Bolivia's forest loss doubled in 2024. Without doubt, something must be done. Experts call on governments, businesses and people to work together before it is too late. It seems that China has set a good example. Thanks to cooperation at many levels, China had the biggest increase in forest area among all countries in 2024. That year alone, newly-planted trees in China covered an area of nearly 45,000 square kilometers, according to a news report.

Forest Loss Worried the World C In April 2026, China started an important plan to bring artificial intelligence (AI) into all schools. It is called the “AI + Education Action Plan”, marking a new step in China’s smart education. This plan will make AI a common helper for students and teachers. And it has changed our study and teaching in a meaningful way. In the past, only a few schools in big cities used AI in education. But now, AI will enter every classroom, both in cities and countryside. For students, AI is a “smart study partner”. It makes personalized homework depending on each student’s level and explains difficult knowledge in simple ways. If you are slow in math, it will give easier practice to help you build confidence; if you learn fast, it will provide more challenging problems to help you make progress. For teachers, AI is a “super teaching assistant”. It helps make scientific teaching plans and correct homework quickly to save much time. With more free time, teachers can focus more on each student’s needs. Besides, schools use AI to check campus safety and manage daily work efficiently (有效地). Most parents also welcome this plan and they believe it will bridge the gap between school and home learning. “AI tools at home help me understand my child’s progress clearly, so I can guide him better,” said Mrs. Zhang, a parent of a Grade-8 student. The plan sets clear goals, that is, junior high schools will offer at least 8 AI lessons yearly to help students use AI wisely. By 2030, China will build a new education style with AI and humans working together. In short, this plan shows China’s technological progress and makes education fairer, leading us to a smarter learning future. 21. How does the writer start the text? A. By asking a question. B. By stating a fact. C. By telling a story. D. By comparing different ideas. 22. What can AI do for students as a “smart study partner”? ① Cook lunch for students. ② Explain difficult knowledge simply. ③ Play sports with students. ④ Make personalized homework. A. ①② B. ①④ C. ②③ D. ②④ 23. What can we infer from the text? A. AI will take the place of teachers completely. B. Only big cities can use AI in schools. C. AI helps make education fairer for all students. D. Students don’t need to study any more. 24. What would be the best structure of the text? A. B. C. D. 25. What is the best title for the text? A. China’s “AI + Education” Plan Changes Our Study B. AI Helps Students Do Homework C. How to Use AI Wisely at School D. The History of AI in Chinese School 3、 任务型完形填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面的短文，用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空，使文意通顺，结构正确。(每个单词限用一次) ( energetic     turn     because     like     oil     happy     teach     tourist     west     round ) Sunflowers are one of the most cheerful and beautiful plants in nature.

My favorite graduation activity idea is planting a class tree in our school yard. There are two great reasons for this. First, it can leave a special mark of our class in the school. Years later, when we come back for a visit, we can still see the tree we grew together, which is far more memorable than short one-day activities. Second, working together to plant the tree can strengthen our class unity right before we go our separate ways. We’re going to plant the young tree on the morning of our graduation day. Then we will hang a name card on it with our class name and best wishes. In this way, we can create a lasting sweet memory for all of us. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
