is divided被划分;divides划分(主动语态第三人称单数);is dividing正在划分(主动语态现在进行时)。 主语“The waste from our daily life”和动词divide之间是被动关系,生活垃圾是“被分类”,需要使用被动语态;主语waste为不可数名词,一般现在时被动语态用is divided,故选A。
18. People think West Street is the _______ street in our city, especially from 10: 00 to 22: 00.
A. oldest B. busiest C. longest
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:人们认为西街是我们城市最繁忙的街道,尤其是从10点到22点。
考查形容词。oldest最古老的;busiest最忙碌的;longest最长的。根据“especially from 10: 00 to 22: 00”可知,此处表示从10点到22点之间,这条街是最繁忙的,故选B。

What You Need
How to Make
★Flour (面粉)

★Matcha powder (粉末)
★Baking powder
★Butter
1. Get all your ingredients ready.
2. Preheat your oven (烤箱) to 180°C (350°F). Put a little butter inside a cake pan (this stops the cake from sticking). Put dry ingredients — flour, match a powder, sugar and baking powder—together. In another bowl, beat the eggs, and add butter and milk.
3. Pour the wet mixture (eggs, butter and milk) into the dry one. Stir (搅拌) gently—over-stirring will make the cake hard.
4. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Bake (烘培) for 25 to 30 minutes. To check if it’s fully baked, stick a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
5. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes, then take it out of the pan. For a nicer look, you can put more match a powder on top or add a small spoonful of soft cream.
This soft, delicious cake is easy to make—even beginners can do it well! Give it a try by yourself!

Do you often order take-out food? Have you ever tried a “take-out PE class”? This new kind of service was popular during this summer vacation. To have a “take-out PE class”, you order it on social media. The coach (教练) will then come with all the things needed for the exercise. The classes include simple fitness (training and sports like basketball, rope jumping and tennis). One-on-one lessons usually cost 200 to 400 yuan, Guangming Daily reported.
“It’s so convenient,” said a woman surnamed Wang whose child is in 3rd grade. She used to spend an hour taking her child to the gym. “Now, the coach comes to the open area of our neighborhood, and I can watch from the balcony (阳台),” she said.
“Take-out PE classes” are helpful as well. Before, my child often fell down when jumping rope (跳绳). After three weeks of classes, he improved from 120 jumps a minute to 160.” Wang said. The coach makes a special plan for each child. This is more helpful than big classes.
But this new service also has problems. The Paper reported that most classes take place in neighborhood squares or parks. The ground is often too hard for running and jumping. Many people walk by, and sometimes cars pass through. This can be dangerous.
Many parents who order the classes have children preparing for high school entrance exams (中考). This is an “exam-first” way of thinking, which has changed the true meaning of exercise, noted by Xinhua Paper.
36. According to Guangming Daily, how much does a one-on-one “take-out PE class” usually cost?
A. 100 to 300 yuan. B. 200 to 400 yuan. C. 300 to 500 yuan. D. 400 to 600 yuan.
37. Why does Ms. Wang think the “take-out PE class” is convenient?
A. It saves her time taking her child to the gym.
B. The coach provides free fitness equipment.
C. She can play games on the balcony.
D. The class time can be changed freely.
38. What can we infer from Ms. Wang’s words about her child’s rope-jumping?
A. The “take-out PE class” has no effect on children’s sports skills.
B. The special plan made by the coach helps the child make progress.
C. Big classes are more helpful for improving children’s rope-jumping ability.
D. The child’s rope-jumping speed was already very fast before taking the class.
39. What is one of the problems with “take-out PE classes”?
A. They take up too much public space.
B. The class time is often shortened because of bad weather.
C. Parents need to pay some money for using the public space.
D. Exercising in public areas can sometimes bring danger to children.
40. What does Xinhua Paper suggest in the last paragraph?
A. Take-out PE classes have many problems.
B. Take-out PE classes will be more popular among parents.
C. Students should exercise for their own health, not for exams.
D. Parents should not ask their children to prepare for high school entrance exams.
【答案】36. B 37. A 38. B 39. D 40. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了暑期兴起的一种新型体育辅导模式——“外卖体育课”,并通过家长的反馈和媒体报道探讨了这一现象带来的便利、实际效果、潜在的安全问题,以及对体育运动真正意义的思考。
【36题详解】
根据第一段最后一句“One-on-one lessons usually cost 200 to 400 yuan, Guangming Daily reported.”可知,根据《光明日报》的报道,一对一的“外卖体育课”通常每次费用为200到400元。
【37题详解】
根据第二段中的句子“She used to spend an hour taking her child to the gym.”并结合“It’s so convenient”可知,Ms. Wang觉得这种课方便是因为过去她需要花一个小时带孩子去体育馆,而现在教练直接来到小区空地,这省去了她来回奔波的时间。
【38题详解】
根据第三段关于Ms. Wang孩子跳绳情况的介绍“Before, my child often fell down when jumping rope. After three weeks of classes, he improved from 120 jumps a minute to 160.”以及“The coach makes a special plan for each child. This is more helpful than big classes.”可以推导得知,教练针对每个孩子制定的专项特训计划确实非常有效,让孩子在跳绳技能上取得了极大的进步。
【39题详解】
根据第四段中提到的一系列问题“The Paper reported that most classes take place in neighborhood squares or parks…Many people walk by, and sometimes cars pass through. This can be dangerous.”可知,由于上课地点大多在小区广场或公园等公共区域,过往的行人和车辆有时会给正在运动的孩子们带来安全隐患。
【40题详解】
根据最后一段“Many parents who order the classes have children preparing for high school entrance exams. This is an ‘exam-first’ way of thinking, which has changed the true meaning of exercise, noted by Xinhua Paper.”可知,Xinhua Paper指出许多家长报班只是为了帮孩子应付中考,这种“考试第一”的想法改变了体育锻炼的初衷。由此可推知,该报社建议学生们应当为了自身的身体健康而进行锻炼,而不是仅仅为了应对考试。

Do you think native English speakers are best at speaking the English language? Some experts believe that non-native speakers are actually easier to understand when it comes to successfully communicating in English.
“Often you have a room full of people from different countries communicating in English and all understand each other. And when suddenly an American or British person walks in, nobody can understand them,” Chia Susan Chong, an English culture expert, told the BBC.
Chong explained this is because non-native speakers communicate more carefully. Native speakers, however, often talk too fast, use slang (俚语) and mention things about their countries that others don’t know.
“As an Australian living in China, I always pay attention to how I speak when talking to my Chinese workmates. I make sure to speak slowly and choose simple words. But sometimes, misunderstanding still happens. Once, I told my workmate I’d ‘catch her later’ — which is slang for ‘I’ll see you soon’ in English. But she looked puzzled and asked if I was going to ‘run after’ her. I had to explain it was just a casual phrase, and we both laughed once she understood.”
But don’t worry. Experts say that it’s the native speakers’ fault (错误) if they can’t understand you, not yours. “English speakers with no other language never have the awareness (意识) to speak English internationally.” English language teacher Dale Coulter told the BBC.
The best way to avoid any trouble might be to ask for some patience. If you find it difficult to understand an English speaker, don’t be afraid to ask them to slow down and speak clearly.
41. How does the writer start this passage?
A. By asking a question. B. By listing numbers.
C. By giving a reason. D. By showing an example.
42. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. English culture experts. B. People in the room.
C. Native English speakers. D. Non-native English speakers.
43. Why did Chong’s Chinese workmate feel puzzled about “catch her later”?
A. She thought it meant “run after her”. B. She hated casual English phrases.
C. Chong spoke too fast. D. She didn’t know Chong.
44. How can we avoid trouble when we communicate with native speakers?
A. We may have more patience. B. We could speak English clearly.
C. We should ask them to use slang. D. We’d better tell them to slow down.
45. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Native speakers communicate more carefully.
B. If you can’t understand native speakers, it’s your fault.
C. Sometimes slang isn’t proper for international communication.

【答案】41. A 42. C 43. A 44. D 45. C
【解析】
【导语】本文解释了非英语母语者往往比母语者更容易沟通的原因,并给出了和英语母语者化解交流障碍的建议。
【41题详解】
根据文章第一段第一句“Do you think native English speakers are best at speaking the English language?”可知,作者通过提出一个问题来开始这篇文章。
【42题详解】
根据第二段“And when suddenly an American or British person walks in, nobody can understand them”可知,“them”指代的是前文提到的走进房间的“an American or British person”,即母语为英语的人。
【43题详解】
根据第四段“But she looked puzzled and asked if I was going to ‘run after’ her”可知,Chong的同事感到困惑是因为她以为“catch her later”的意思是“追赶她”。
【44题详解】
根据最后一段“If you find it difficult to understand an English speaker, don’t be afraid to ask them to slow down and speak clearly”可知,避免麻烦的最好方法是让他们慢下来讲清楚。
【45题详解】
通读全文可知,文章主要讲述了母语人士使用俚语或语速过快可能导致非母语人士误解,由此可推断有时俚语不适合国际交流。

As technology develops, AI is entering more schools around China. From smart classrooms to AI clubs, it’s changing education in many ways. But what exactly is AI in education, and how does it help students?
AI in education means using smart technology to support teaching and learning. For example, AI homework apps can check students’ English grammar and give feedback (反馈) immediately. In language classes, AI speaking tools let students practice pronunciation anytime — they repeat words, and the AI corrects their mistakes. Some schools also use AI to make personalized study plans: if a student is weak in math problems, the AI will give more related exercises.
AI also makes learning more fun. In science classes, VR (virtual reality) headsets take students to places they can’t visit easily — like the bottom of the ocean or outer space. Robot teachers can tell stories in English with funny voices, making the classes more lively. Last year, a middle school in Fujian held a “Robot Competition”, where students built small AI robots to complete tasks like moving balls.
However, AI has its limits (局限). It can’t replace human teachers, because teaching needs love and understanding. A teacher notices when a student is sad and helps them, but AI can’t do that. Also, overusing AI might make students less independent — if they always use AI to check homework, they won’t learn to correct mistakes by themselves.
The key is to use AI properly. When AI helps with repetitive (重复性的) work, teachers have more time to talk with students. This way, technology and human care work together to help students grow.
46. What is AI in education according to the passage?
A. A new subject in middle schools. B. A tool to replace human teachers.
C. A competition for building robots. D. A smart technology to support teaching.
47. What does the underlined word “personalized” in Paragraph 2 mean in Chinese?
A. 复杂的 B. 个性化的 C. 公平的 D. 基础的
48. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The fun side of AI in learning. B. The history of AI development.
C. The use of AI homework apps. D. Problems with AI in schools.
49. What is the limit of AI in education?
A. It makes learning too easy. B. It can’t check grammar correctly.
C. It is short of love and understanding. D. It can’t give feedback immediately.
50. What can be the best title for the text?
A. AI in Education: Uses and Limits. B. AI’s Inability to Replace Human Teachers.
C. VR and Robots for Fun Science Classes. D. Smart Classrooms: The Change in Chinese Schools.
【答案】46. D 47. B 48. A 49. C 50. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了人工智能在教育中的多种应用方式(如作业批改、个性化学习、VR体验等),同时指出了AI的局限性,并强调了合理使用AI的重要性。
【46题详解】
第2段首句写道“AI in education means using smart technology to support teaching and learning.”该句直接给出了AI在教育中的定义——一种支持教学的智能技术。
【47题详解】
第2段结尾写道“if a student is weak in math problems, the AI will give more related exercises.”该句说明AI会根据学生的薄弱科目或知识点给出针对性的练习,由此可推断“personalized”意为“个性化的”。
【48题详解】
第3段首句写道“AI also makes learning more fun.”,随后举例说明了VR带学生去海底或太空、机器人老师用有趣的声音讲故事、举办机器人竞赛等。整段围绕“AI让学习更有趣”展开。
【49题详解】
第4段写道“It can’t replace human teachers, because teaching needs love and understanding. A teacher notices when a student is sad and helps them, but AI can’t do that.”该句明确说明AI的局限在于缺乏爱与理解,无法像人类教师那样察觉学生的情绪并给予帮助。
【50题详解】
文章前部分介绍了AI在教育中的多种用途(第2-3段),后部分指出了AI的局限性和合理使用建议(第4-5段)。全文结构清晰,围绕“用途”和“局限”两方面展开。B项“AI无法替代人类教师”只是部分内容;C项“VR和机器人的有趣科学课”也只是部分细节;D项“智能教室”范围过宽且非文章重点。因此A项“AI in Education: Uses and Limits”最能概括全文。
第二节 阅读下面短文,从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项,使短文通顺、连贯、意思完整。 (共5小题;每小题1分,满分5分)
E
Have you ever noticed how some cities feel cooler than others on hot summer days? The answer often comes from a simple idea called “city green spaces”. ____51____ Unlike usual concrete (水泥) roads and tall buildings, this idea uses plants, trees and small water spots to make city life better.
City green spaces bring many good things to cities. ____52____ For example, trees can make shade (阴凉), which makes nearby streets 3 to 5 degrees cooler. This is really helpful in summer when hot weather makes cities hard to live in.
____53____ When it rains a lot, green places like parks and grasslands can soak up (吸收) rainwater. This stops streets from being covered in water and lowers the risk of water hurting homes and shops.
____54____ Many people in cities feel worried because of busy work and loud traffic. Having more parks and green areas gives people a quiet place to relax, do exercise or spend time with family. This helps make both their minds and bodies healthier.
However, making city green spaces takes time and money. ____55____ With good planning, more cities around the world can become greener, cooler and healthier places to live in the future.
A. It also helps deal with rainwater well.
B. It means all the natural and man-made green places in a city.
C. Cities need to work with experts to plan the right green spaces.
D. One of the most important good things is making cities cooler.
E. Besides controlling temperature, it also makes people feel better.
【答案】51. B 52. D 53. A 54. E 55. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了城市绿色空间的定义、带来的好处(降温、处理雨水、改善身心健康)以及未来的规划建议。
【51题详解】
前文提到“city green spaces”,此空需要对其进行解释说明,B选项“It means all the natural and man - made green places in a city.”符合语境,是对“city green spaces”的定义阐述。
【52题详解】
此段后文举例“trees can make shade (阴凉), which makes nearby streets 3 to 5 degrees cooler.”,说明城市绿地能让城市更凉爽,D选项“One of the most important good things is making cities cooler.”能够概括该段内容。
【53题详解】
后文提到“green places like parks and grasslands can soak up (吸收) rainwater. This stops streets from being covered in water and lowers the risk of water hurting homes and shops.”,主要讲的是绿地对雨水的处理作用,A选项“It also helps deal with rainwater well.”符合该段主旨。
【54题详解】
后文“Many people in cities feel worried because of busy work and loud traffic. Having more parks and green areas gives people a quiet place to relax, do exercise or spend time with family. This helps make both their minds and bodies healthier.”,说明绿地除了前面提到的降温等作用外,还对人的身心健康有益,E选项“Besides controlling temperature, it also makes people feel better.”能很好地引出该段内容。
【55题详解】
前文提到“making city green spaces takes time and money.”,后文“With good planning, more cities around the world can become greener, cooler and healthier places to live in the future.”,C选项“Cities need to work with experts to plan the right green spaces.”,起到了承上启下的作用,说明在打造绿地时需要合理规划。

57. A: Have you seen a doctor?
B: _________________________. The doctor told me to take pills on time.
【答案】Yes./Yes, I have.
【解析】
【详解】问句Have you seen a doctor?为现在完成时一般疑问句,后文答句“医生嘱咐我按时吃药”能够印证已经就诊,因此需要使用肯定回答,简短作答可用Yes,完整规范回答为Yes, I have。故填Yes./Yes, I have.。
58. A: I’m going to visit Disneyland next week.
B: _________________________!
【答案】Have a good time/Have a wonderful trip/Enjoy yourself

VI.看图写话 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据每小题所提供的图画情景和提示词,写出一个与图画情景相符的句子。

65. It’s important (for us) to save (every drop of) water.
【解析】
【61题详解】
根据图片和时间状语“yesterday”可知,本句描述过去发生的事,时态应用一般过去时。图画情景为“听收音机”,对应英文短语为“listen to the radio”,其中谓语动词需用过去式形式“listened”;主语可用“He”或“The man”。
【62题详解】
根据图片中的文字“噪声有害”及提示词“harmful”可知,本句表示“噪音(污染)对(我们的)耳朵/健康有害”;表示“对……有害”常用固定搭配“be harmful to”,由于主语“Noise”或“Noise pollution”为不可数名词,系动词需用“is”;宾语可用“our ears”或“our health”。
【63题详解】
根据图片和时间段提示词“for 13 years”可知,本句表示状态持续了13年,时态需使用现在完成时,且其谓语动词应为延续性动词;图画中人物职业为医生,应用系动词“be”的过去分词形式“been”后面跟上名词“a doctor”;由于主语“He”或“My father”为单数,助动词需用“has”。
【64题详解】
根据图片中的禁止随地吐痰标志和提示词“not”可知,本句应用否定祈使句或含有情态动词should的否定句表示“不要/不应该随地吐痰”;“在公共场所吐痰”常用短语“spit in public”表达,否定祈使句常以助动词“Don’t”开头,或用“shouldn’t”表示“不应该”。
【65题详解】
据图片中的文字“节约用水”及提示词“important”和“save”可知,本句适合使用“It is+形容词+to do sth.”意为“做某事是……的”固定句型,其中It作形式主语;将形容词“important”、动词原形“save”以及名词“water”代入该句型即可,意为“节约(每一滴)水是重要的”。

Dear Henry,
How is everything going? I’m writing to share an exciting event with you. Our school held an activity to protect the environment on November 9th.
During the activity, we did lots of meaningful things. Some classmates picked up litter around the playground. Some watered the flowers and trees in the garden. Others made environmental slogans, such as “Green Life, Starts from Me”, and put them up to tell everyone to be a greener person. We also learned to sort rubbish.
It was tiring but rewarding. I realized small actions can make a big difference. Do you have similar activities at your school?
Yours,

A
Making a matcha cake is fun and tasty, perfect for sharing with family or friends. You don’t need too many tools—just simple tools and a love for green tea! Here is how to make a delicious matcha cake.
What You Need
How to Make
★Flour (面粉)
★Sugar
★2 eggs
★Milk
★Matcha powder (粉末)
★Baking powder
★Butter
1. Get all your ingredients ready.
2. Preheat your oven (烤箱) to 180°C (350°F). Put a little butter inside a cake pan (this stops the cake from sticking). Put dry ingredients — flour, match a powder, sugar and baking powder—together. In another bowl, beat the eggs, and add butter and milk.
3. Pour the wet mixture (eggs, butter and milk) into the dry one. Stir (搅拌) gently—over-stirring will make the cake hard.
4. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Bake (烘培) for 25 to 30 minutes. To check if it’s fully baked, stick a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
5. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes, then take it out of the pan. For a nicer look, you can put more match a powder on top or add a small spoonful of soft cream.
This soft, delicious cake is easy to make—even beginners can do it well! Give it a try by yourself!

Do you often order take-out food? Have you ever tried a “take-out PE class”? This new kind of service was popular during this summer vacation. To have a “take-out PE class”, you order it on social media. The coach (教练) will then come with all the things needed for the exercise. The classes include simple fitness (training and sports like basketball, rope jumping and tennis). One-on-one lessons usually cost 200 to 400 yuan, Guangming Daily reported.
“It’s so convenient,” said a woman surnamed Wang whose child is in 3rd grade. She used to spend an hour taking her child to the gym. “Now, the coach comes to the open area of our neighborhood, and I can watch from the balcony (阳台),” she said.
“Take-out PE classes” are helpful as well. Before, my child often fell down when jumping rope (跳绳). After three weeks of classes, he improved from 120 jumps a minute to 160.” Wang said. The coach makes a special plan for each child. This is more helpful than big classes.
But this new service also has problems. The Paper reported that most classes take place in neighborhood squares or parks. The ground is often too hard for running and jumping. Many people walk by, and sometimes cars pass through. This can be dangerous.
Many parents who order the classes have children preparing for high school entrance exams (中考). This is an “exam-first” way of thinking, which has changed the true meaning of exercise, noted by Xinhua Paper.
36. According to Guangming Daily, how much does a one-on-one “take-out PE class” usually cost?
A. 100 to 300 yuan. B. 200 to 400 yuan. C. 300 to 500 yuan. D. 400 to 600 yuan.
37. Why does Ms. Wang think the “take-out PE class” is convenient?
A. It saves her time taking her child to the gym.
B. The coach provides free fitness equipment.
C. She can play games on the balcony.
D. The class time can be changed freely.
38. What can we infer from Ms. Wang’s words about her child’s rope-jumping?
A. The “take-out PE class” has no effect on children’s sports skills.
B. The special plan made by the coach helps the child make progress.
C. Big classes are more helpful for improving children’s rope-jumping ability.
D. The child’s rope-jumping speed was already very fast before taking the class.
39. What is one of the problems with “take-out PE classes”?
A. They take up too much public space.
B. The class time is often shortened because of bad weather.
C. Parents need to pay some money for using the public space.
D. Exercising in public areas can sometimes bring danger to children.
40. What does Xinhua Paper suggest in the last paragraph?

Do you think native English speakers are best at speaking the English language? Some experts believe that non-native speakers are actually easier to understand when it comes to successfully communicating in English.
“Often you have a room full of people from different countries communicating in English and all understand each other. And when suddenly an American or British person walks in, nobody can understand them,” Chia Susan Chong, an English culture expert, told the BBC.
Chong explained this is because non-native speakers communicate more carefully. Native speakers, however, often talk too fast, use slang (俚语) and mention things about their countries that others don’t know.
“As an Australian living in China, I always pay attention to how I speak when talking to my Chinese workmates. I make sure to speak slowly and choose simple words. But sometimes, misunderstanding still happens. Once, I told my workmate I’d ‘catch her later’ — which is slang for ‘I’ll see you soon’ in English. But she looked puzzled and asked if I was going to ‘run after’ her. I had to explain it was just a casual phrase, and we both laughed once she understood.”
But don’t worry. Experts say that it’s the native speakers’ fault (错误) if they can’t understand you, not yours. “English speakers with no other language never have the awareness (意识) to speak English internationally.” English language teacher Dale Coulter told the BBC.
The best way to avoid any trouble might be to ask for some patience. If you find it difficult to understand an English speaker, don’t be afraid to ask them to slow down and speak clearly.
41. How does the writer start this passage?
A. By asking a question. B. By listing numbers.
C. By giving a reason. D. By showing an example.
42. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. English culture experts. B. People in the room.
C. Native English speakers. D. Non-native English speakers.
43. Why did Chong’s Chinese workmate feel puzzled about “catch her later”?
A. She thought it meant “run after her”. B. She hated casual English phrases.
C. Chong spoke too fast. D. She didn’t know Chong.
44. How can we avoid trouble when we communicate with native speakers?
A. We may have more patience. B. We could speak English clearly.
C. We should ask them to use slang. D. We’d better tell them to slow down.
45. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Native speakers communicate more carefully.
B. If you can’t understand native speakers, it’s your fault.
C. Sometimes slang isn’t proper for international communication.
D. Dale Coulter has no idea of how to speak English internationally.

As technology develops, AI is entering more schools around China. From smart classrooms to AI clubs, it’s changing education in many ways. But what exactly is AI in education, and how does it help students?
AI in education means using smart technology to support teaching and learning. For example, AI homework apps can check students’ English grammar and give feedback (反馈) immediately. In language classes, AI speaking tools let students practice pronunciation anytime — they repeat words, and the AI corrects their mistakes. Some schools also use AI to make personalized study plans: if a student is weak in math problems, the AI will give more related exercises.
AI also makes learning more fun. In science classes, VR (virtual reality) headsets take students to places they can’t visit easily — like the bottom of the ocean or outer space. Robot teachers can tell stories in English with funny voices, making the classes more lively. Last year, a middle school in Fujian held a “Robot Competition”, where students built small AI robots to complete tasks like moving balls.
However, AI has its limits (局限). It can’t replace human teachers, because teaching needs love and understanding. A teacher notices when a student is sad and helps them, but AI can’t do that. Also, overusing AI might make students less independent — if they always use AI to check homework, they won’t learn to correct mistakes by themselves.
The key is to use AI properly. When AI helps with repetitive (重复性的) work, teachers have more time to talk with students. This way, technology and human care work together to help students grow.
46. What is AI in education according to the passage?
A. A new subject in middle schools. B. A tool to replace human teachers.
C. A competition for building robots. D. A smart technology to support teaching.
47. What does the underlined word “personalized” in Paragraph 2 mean in Chinese?
A. 复杂的 B. 个性化的 C. 公平的 D. 基础的
48. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The fun side of AI in learning. B. The history of AI development.
C. The use of AI homework apps. D. Problems with AI in schools.
49. What is the limit of AI in education?
A. It makes learning too easy. B. It can’t check grammar correctly.
C. It is short of love and understanding. D. It can’t give feedback immediately.
50. What can be the best title for the text?
A. AI in Education: Uses and Limits. B. AI’s Inability to Replace Human Teachers.
C. VR and Robots for Fun Science Classes. D. Smart Classrooms: The Change in Chinese Schools.

Have you ever noticed how some cities feel cooler than others on hot summer days? The answer often comes from a simple idea called “city green spaces”. ____51____ Unlike usual concrete (水泥) roads and tall buildings, this idea uses plants, trees and small water spots to make city life better.
