Compared with traditional long-form videos, they are more convenient. However, some Chinese researchers have some worries. They have recently studied how short-form videos reshape our brains and influence our genes. The new study found that watching short-form videos could increase brain activity (活跃性). This may lead to various biological and nervous system problems. For the study, the researchers picked out 111 college students between the ages of 17 and 30 who liked to use social media. Researchers collected their brain imaging data using MRI scans (磁共振扫描) to see the nerve system effects of short-form videos, especially in terms of structural changes and functional activity in the brain. The results were astonishing. Students who spent more time on short-form videos had different brain structures and functions from others. There is an increase in gray matter in two brain regions, which help people make decisions, deal with information and control their emotions. This change makes the brain more sensitive to the quick pleasure of watching one video after another. That’s why it’s harder for these students to stop using short-form video apps. Moreover, the researchers found nearly 500 genes that are related to brain changes from short-form video addiction. Interestingly, most of these genes show greater activity when people are teenagers. This shows that the teenage years are a weak period—people at this age may be more likely to get addicted to short-form videos. 1. What did the research mainly study? A. Basic structure of human brains. B. Common behaviours of the teenagers. C. Influences of short-form videos on our brains. D. Popularity of short-form videos among the young. 2. What does the underlined word “astonishing” mean? A. Surprising. B. Boring. C. Common. D. Simple. 3. What does more brain sensitivity lead to? A. Easier addiction. B. Faster learning. C. Better decisions. D. Calmer emotions. 4. Why might teenagers be more easily addicted to short-form videos? A. Because they use mobile phones more frequently. B. Because they have more free time to use apps. C. Because some genes are more active at their age. D. Because the brain development is largely complete. 5. Which of the following is most likely to be shown next? A. Ways for doctors to treat video addiction symptoms. B. Methods for parents to manage their own video use time. C. Advice for teenagers to reduce short-form video addiction. D. Tips for schools to educate all the people on video risks. 长难句解析 原句：(第一段第三句) They have recently studied how short-form videos reshape our brains and influence our genes. 译文：他们最近研究了短视频是如何重塑我们的大脑并影响我们的基因的。 分析：本句包含一个由 how 引导的宾语从句。how short-form videos reshape our brains and influence our genes 作动词 studied 的宾语，其中 reshape our brains 和 influence our genes 是由 and 连接的两个并列谓语，共同说明短视频的作用。 原句：(第二段第二句) Researchers collected their brain imaging data using MRI scans to see the nerve system effects of short-form videos, especially in terms of structural changes and functional activity in the brain. 译文：研究人员使用磁共振扫描（MRI）收集了他们的大脑成像数据，以观察短视频对神经系统的影响，特别是在大脑结构变化和功能活动方面的影响。 分析：本句包含现在分词短语和不定式短语。using MRI scans 是现在分词短语作方式状语，说明收集数据的手段；to see the nerve system effects... 是动词不定式短语作目的状语，解释了收集数据的目的。especially in terms of... 是介词短语作补充说明，具体指出了观察的方面。 译文 近年来，短视频在世界范围内变得流行起来。与传统的长视频相比，它们更加便捷。 然而，一些中国研究人员对此有些担忧。他们最近研究了短视频如何重塑我们的大脑并影响我们的基因。这项新研究发现，观看短视频可能会增加大脑活动（活跃性）。这可能导致各种生物和神经系统问题。 在这项研究中，研究人员挑选了111名年龄在17至30岁之间且喜欢使用社交媒体的大学生。研究人员利用磁共振扫描（MRI scans）收集了他们的大脑成像数据，以观察短视频对神经系统的影响，特别是在大脑结构变化和功能活动方面。 结果令人震惊。花更多时间在短视频上的学生，其大脑结构和功能与其他人不同。大脑中有两个区域的灰质有所增加，这两个区域帮助人们做决定、处理信息和控制情绪。这种变化使大脑对接连观看视频带来的快速快感更加敏感。这就是为什么这些学生更难停止使用短视频应用程序。 此外，研究人员发现了近500个与短视频成瘾引起的大脑变化相关的基因。有趣的是，当人们处于青少年时期时，其中大多数基因表现出更高的活性。这表明青少年时期是一个脆弱期——这个年龄段的人可能更容易沉迷于短视频。 重难点词汇 various / ˈveəriəs / adj. 各种各样的 biological /ˌbaɪəˈlɒdʒɪkl / adj. 生物的；生物学的 structural / ˈstrʌktʃərəl / adj. 结构的；构造的 functional / ˈfʌŋkʃənl / adj. 功能的；起作用的 Passage B（AI） What Is AI and How Does It Change Our Lives? Artificial Intelligence, or AI for short, is not just a popular term in movies—it’s a real technology that’s changing how we live, work, and learn. Unlike traditional machines that only follow fixed rules, AI systems can “learn” from data, spot patterns, and make decisions on their own. This ability makes AI different from ordinary tools and gives it huge potential to shape our future. AI is already around us in many ways. When you ask a smart speaker for the weather, or when a phone app suggests songs you might like, you’re using AI. In schools, some teachers use AI tools to check students’ homework quickly and even give personal feedback to help slow learners catch up. In hospitals, AI can analyze medical scans (like X-rays) to find small signs of illness that human eyes might miss, helping doctors make better treatment plans. However, AI also brings challenges. One big worry is job changes: as AI gets better at tasks like factory work or data entry, some jobs may disappear. Another problem is privacy—AI systems need lots of data to learn, and if this data includes personal information (like our phone records or online habits), it could be misused. For example, some companies might use AI to track people’s behavior without their permission. To deal with these challenges, countries around the world are making rules for AI use. These rules aim to keep AI safe and fair: they stop AI from being used to harm people, protect personal data, and make sure AI creates more jobs than it takes away. Many experts also believe that students today should learn about AI, not just to use it, but to understand how it works—this will help them prepare for a world where AI is everywhere. AI is not perfect, but it’s clear that it will play a bigger role in our lives. By using it wisely and solving its problems, we can make AI a tool that helps humans, not replaces them. 1. Which example shows AI being used to help with medical work? A. A smart speaker telling patients the time. B. An app suggesting healthy food to eat. C. AI analyzing X-rays to find signs of illness. D. AI checking students’ medical homework. 2. What is one main challenge AI brings, according to the passage? A. AI can’t learn from enough data. B. AI may take away some people’s jobs. C. AI makes traditional machines useless. D. AI is too hard for people to use. 3. Why do countries make rules for AI use? A. To stop people from using AI in daily life. B. To make sure AI is safe and used fairly. C. To let AI take over all human jobs. D. To collect more personal data for AI companies. 4. What is the author’s attitude towards AI in the passage? A. AI is perfect and will replace humans soon. B. AI has problems, but it can be a helpful tool if used wisely. C. AI is too dangerous and should be stopped. D. AI is useless for daily life and work. 长难句解析 原句：(第一段第二句) Unlike traditional machines that only follow fixed rules, AI systems can “learn” from data, spot patterns, and make decisions on their own. 译文：与只遵循固定规则的传统机器不同，人工智能系统可以从数据中“学习”，发现模式，并自主做出决策。 分析：本句包含一个由 that 引导的定语从句和并列谓语结构。that only follow fixed rules 是定语从句，修饰先行词 traditional machines，说明传统机器的局限性；主句中 can “learn”..., spot..., and make... 是三个并列的动词短语，共同作谓语，列举了AI系统的三大核心能力。 原句：(第二段第四句) In hospitals, AI can analyze medical scans (like X-rays) to find small signs of illness that human eyes might miss, helping doctors make better treatment plans. 译文：在医院里，人工智能可以分析医学扫描图像（如X光片），以发现人眼可能会错过的微小疾病迹象，从而帮助医生制定更好的治疗方案。 分析：本句包含不定式作目的状语、定语从句以及现在分词作结果状语。to find small signs of illness 是不定式短语作目的状语；that human eyes might miss 是定语从句，修饰 signs of illness；句末的 helping doctors make better treatment plans 是现在分词短语作结果状语，表示AI分析图像后带来的自然结果。 译文 什么是人工智能以及它如何改变我们的生活? 人工智能（Artificial Intelligence），简称 AI，不仅仅是电影中的热门词汇——它是一项正在改变我们生活、工作和学习方式的真实技术。与只能遵循固定规则的传统机器不同，人工智能系统可以从数据中“学习”，识别模式，并自主做出决策。这种能力使人工智能与普通工具有所不同，并赋予其塑造我们未来的巨大潜力。 人工智能已经在许多方面出现在我们身边。当你询问智能音箱天气情况，或者手机应用程序推荐你可能喜欢的歌曲时，你正在使用人工智能。在学校里，一些老师利用人工智能工具快速检查学生的作业，甚至提供个人反馈，帮助学习较慢的学生赶上进度。在医院里，人工智能可以分析医学扫描图像（如 X 光片），以发现人眼可能遗漏的微小疾病迹象，从而帮助医生制定更好的治疗方案。 然而，人工智能也带来了挑战。一个主要的担忧是就业变化：随着人工智能在工厂工作或数据录入等任务上表现得越来越好，一些工作可能会消失。另一个问题是隐私——人工智能系统需要大量数据来学习，如果这些数据包含个人信息（如我们的通话记录或上网习惯），就有可能被滥用。例如，一些公司可能会在未经允许的情况下利用人工智能追踪人们的行为。 为了应对这些挑战，世界各国正在制定人工智能使用规则。这些规则旨在确保人工智能的安全和公平：它们阻止人工智能被用于伤害人类，保护个人数据，并确保人工智能创造的就业机会多于它取代的岗位。许多专家还认为，今天的学生应该学习有关人工智能的知识，不仅是为了使用它，更是为了理解它是如何运作的——这将帮助他们为一个人工智能无处不在的世界做好准备。 人工智能并不完美，但很明显，它将在我们的生活中扮演更重要的角色。通过明智地利用它并解决其问题，我们可以使人工智能成为帮助人类而不是取代人类的工具。 重难点词汇 potential / pəˈtenʃl / n. 潜力 privacy / prɪvəsi / n. 隐私 misuse /ˌmɪsˈjuːs / v. 滥用 aim / eɪm / v. 目标；旨在 1.

Some experts argue that the internet will produce forgetfulness in the minds of those learning to use it, because they won’t practise their memory. Is the internet really doing harm to our memories—or will our doubtful experts be proven wrong? After all, the brain’s attention system (系统) and preferences for novel experiences were already there long before the digital age, and our ability to remember is nearly inexhaustible (无穷尽的). According to Michael Merzenich, a brain researcher, every brain is a work in progress; it keeps changing throughout our lives, depending on how we use it. But our brains don’t work well when we’re not focused. When we repeatedly check text messages and social media during work, we are weakening our ability to form both short-and long-term memories, experts say. The flooding of information influences our ability to remember, too. Though our brains are designed to look for new data, too much of it may be causing this natural drive to go wild. The compulsion to continuously take in information means we often check social media when we should be doing “memory housekeeping” by giving our brains some rest. Another problem: the effortless way of receiving information online. Trying to actively recall (回忆) data is a good workout for the brain, but today we are using online search tools instead. However, the internet may be changing only what we remember, not our ability to do so, suggests Columbia University psychologist (心理学家) Betsy Sparrow. In fact, the internet is becoming an outside hard drive for our memories. Some worry that this is having a negative effect on society, but Sparrow suggests this will change our way of learning from a focus on remembering facts to one on understanding ideas. As is shown in a 2008 study, using the internet exercised the brain more than reading among older adults with strong computer skills. And two Harvard psychologists argue that not needing to remember facts might free our minds to focus on more meaningful tasks. “There may be costs caused by our increased dependence on the internet, but generally the benefits are going to outweigh those costs,” says Benjamin Storm, a psychologist. “It seems pretty clear that memory is changing, but is it changing for the better? At this point, we don’t know.” 1. What does the word “compulsion” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. Longing. B. Ability. C. Chance. D. Promise. 2. What can we learn from the passage? A. Internet users remember facts better than non-users. B. Novel experiences improve the brain’s attention system. C. Checking social media can give the brain proper breaks. D. The internet may produce a change of focus in learning. 3. How does Benjamin Storm feel about the effects of the internet on memory? A. Uneasy and doubtful. B. Positive but still uncertain. C. Negative but still hopeful. D. Encouraged and confident. 4. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To argue for a belief. B. To challenge a solution. C. To present different views. D. To examine causes and effects. Passage 2 （2026·广东东莞模拟考） There is great excitement and argument over Artificial Intelligence (AI). The argument about whether robots will replace (取代) teachers in the classroom is very heated. Some people think it is sure to happen in the next ten years. Others think that a good teacher can not only bring help to the classroom setting, but also develop a child’s confidence. AI is not new for us and is already being used successfully in many fields such as medicine, science and so on. So what does this mean for our future? In my opinion, AI will help kids to think more freely and creatively. Can AI possibly cut down the teaching work in the future? Of course. Our teachers are always busy preparing for their lessons. Just imagine how happy they will be if they don’t have to correct hundreds of papers, but instead, have this task or others done by machines. However, most importantly, I do not believe AI will be able to deal with the human mental (精神的) condition totally, especially emotional intelligence (情商). What makes learning unforgettable is shared experience, human interaction (互动), and long-lasting positive relationships. For example, experienced teachers can comfort a student if he has suffered a serious loss. But no research shows that robots can deal with this well. I also believe we need to develop our kids’ personality and their ability to make the right decision. To achieve this, depending only on AI is impossible. In short, AI has both its advantages and disadvantages. To what degree (程度) can teachers use AI in their classes? You can have all the information you want with the help of AI, but great teachers will also need to depend on their own feelings. 1. The writer starts the passage by ________. A. telling a story B. comparing different opinions C. listing a number D. giving some suggestions 2. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The successful usage of AI in many fields. B. AI helps teachers to correct hundreds of papers. C. How helpful AI will be to both students and teachers. D. Teachers can help kids think more freely and creatively than AI. 3. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “comfort” in Paragraph 3? A. give up B. turn up C. take up D. cheer up 4. What’s the structure of the passage? (P— Paragraph) A. B. C. D. 5. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Will AI Replace Teachers in the Classroom? B. What can AI Bring Students in the Classroom? C. Is AI a Good Way to Help with Children’s Learning? D. How do Teachers Use AI in Their Classroom Teaching? Passage 1 （2025-2026·广东深圳期末考）Have you ever dreamed of having a smart helper that can solve problems and finish tasks with just a few simple words? Nowadays, with the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI), such a helper has come into our life—OpenClaw, a new and popular AI tool, is changing the way we live and work. OpenClaw is an AI assistant designed to help people with all kinds of daily and work tasks. Unlike traditional tools that can only answer simple questions, it can understand natural language and finish difficult work by itself. It can search for useful information quickly, deal with files, write simple texts, and even offer suggestions on study and life. What makes it more welcome is that it is easy to get started and friendly to common users, so people can use it freely without much professional (专业的) knowledge. The main reason for its popularity is that it greatly improves efficiency and brings great convenience to daily life. It saves people a lot of time on boring and repetitive work, allowing them to focus on more important things. At the same time, it is always learning and improving, which makes its functions (功能) richer and more accurate. However, we also need to use it properly. It is a useful tool, but it cannot replace our own thinking, creativity and hard work. In the future, AI technology will develop faster and more widely. OpenClaw and similar tools will become smarter and more practical, bringing more changes to our study and life. However, we should keep an open mind, learn to accept and use new tools wisely. 1. How did the author start the passage? A. By giving an example. B. By sharing an experience. C. By telling a story. D. By asking a question. 2. What can OpenClaw do according to the passage? A. It can replace people’s own thinking and creativity. B. It can only answer simple questions like traditional tools. C. It can search for useful information quickly and manage files. D.

It is easy to start and friendly to non-professional users. C. It can solve all kinds of problems in people’s work and life D. It has the longest history among all AI tools. 4. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. AI technology will stop developing soon. B. We should refuse to use new AI tools like OpenClaw. C. OpenClaw will become useless in the near future. D. We need to learn to use new technology wisely. 5. What is the writer’s main purpose of writing this passage? A. To teach readers how to use OpenClaw step by step. B. To warn people about the dangers of AI technology. C. To introduce OpenClaw and encourage wise use of AI tools. D. To compare OpenClaw with other traditional AI tools. Passage 2 （2025-2026·广东广州期末考）From April to May 2025, Professor Michael Robb helped lead the survey by Common Sense Media. More than 1,000 teens took part in the survey. Thirty-one percent said talking with AI was “as cheerful as or more cheerful” than talking with real people. Half of the teens said they didn’t trust AI advice. One-third said they talked about serious problems with AI instead of real people. Professor Robb said these findings worry parents and teachers. “If teens develop social skills with AI, they receive approval all the time and face no challenges. They never learn to read social cues (信号) or understand other opinions. This may make them unprepared for the real world,” he said. Common Sense Media looked at several popular AI apps. They found that the apps may give dangerous advice and suggest harmful ideas. The group suggests that teens not use AI apps. Eva Telzer, another professor has found in her research that many teens said they used AI to write emails or messages in difficult situations. “They no longer have trust in themselves to make a decision,” said Telzer. “They need AI to tell them if an idea is good or not.” Seventeen-year-old Bruce Perry said he had some similar experiences. “If you tell me to plan an article, I would think of going to ChatGPT before getting out a pencil,” Bruce said. He uses AI every day. He asks AI for advice in social situations, deciding what to wear and writing emails to teachers. He says AI expresses his thoughts faster than he can. However, he’s glad that AI apps were not around when he was younger. “I can imagine a kid. He grows up with AI and seldom goes to the park or tries to make a friend,” he said. While AI makes our lives easier, it may also cause troubles: relying too much on the virtual world can weaken our real-life relationships, and even make us confused about who we are. Using technology wisely, keeping in touch with others and knowing ourselves well, so that we can avoid getting lost. 1. What is probably the purpose of the survey by Common Sense Media? A. To know how teens use AI for their study. B. To learn about why teens use AI and their opinions. C. To raise teens awareness of using AI in their daily life. D. To suggest teens use AI to improve communication skills. 2. What does the word “approval” mean in paragraph 2? A. Questions. B. Warnings. C. Mistakes. D. Acceptance. 3. How does the writer show the problems of teens’ development with AI? A. By using the professors’ words. B. By showing the data of a survey. C. By comparing different teens’ choices. D. By raising questions of teens’ experience. 4. What is NOT mentioned as a problem of teens’ using AI in the passage? A. They may lose the ability to make decisions. B. They may fail to understand people’s opinions. C. They may receive dangerous advice or harmful ideas. D. They may find AI worse than humans at writing articles. Passage 3 （2025-2026·广东深圳外国语期末）Restaurants are changing with new technology. In the past, they were places where everything was prepared by hand. Then, machines made cooking faster. 1 AI can do amazing things in restaurants 2 . Imagine stepping into a restaurant where everything matches your tastes.

Passage 4 （2025-2026·广东广州番禺期末）Alvaro Morales had a scary experience when his father was misdiagnosed (误诊) by a doctor. Thanks to Alvaro’s sister, who is a heart expert, his father got the 1 treatment. This inspired (鼓舞) Alvaro to learn about why misdiagnosis happens in healthcare and how to 2 it. He is now a student at Harvard Kennedy School and is learning about artificial intelligence (AI). He and his team 3 an app called PrescrAIbe. co. This app helps doctors make better 4 by predicting conditions and suggesting treatments according to a patient’s medical history. By using AI to deal with boring tasks, doctors can spend more time with patients, leading to better care. Before studying at Harvard, Alvaro 5 at a local community clinic (诊所). He saw doctors were always very busy and sometimes they didn’t have enough time to carefully check the patients’ problems. This made Alvaro think that doctors really 6 a tool to help them. So he thought of the idea of making an app. Alvaro’s app is being tested and reviewed by healthcare experts to 7 it’s safe and helpful before using it widely. The app is just a starting point. Alvaro is learning how to build a business around his app at the Harvard Innovation Labs. Besides, he also learned about the importance of keeping AI technology under 8 to protect patients and doctors. Alvaro’s goal is to use AI to 9 healthcare and support doctors in their work. His experience at Harvard taught him the 10 of using technology responsibly. He believes that even small changes can make a big difference in the healthcare industry.

Compared with traditional long-form videos, they are more convenient. However, some Chinese researchers have some worries. They have recently studied how short-form videos reshape our brains and influence our genes. The new study found that watching short-form videos could increase brain activity (活跃性). This may lead to various biological and nervous system problems. For the study, the researchers picked out 111 college students between the ages of 17 and 30 who liked to use social media. Researchers collected their brain imaging data using MRI scans (磁共振扫描) to see the nerve system effects of short-form videos, especially in terms of structural changes and functional activity in the brain. The results were astonishing. Students who spent more time on short-form videos had different brain structures and functions from others. There is an increase in gray matter in two brain regions, which help people make decisions, deal with information and control their emotions. This change makes the brain more sensitive to the quick pleasure of watching one video after another. That’s why it’s harder for these students to stop using short-form video apps. Moreover, the researchers found nearly 500 genes that are related to brain changes from short-form video addiction. Interestingly, most of these genes show greater activity when people are teenagers. This shows that the teenage years are a weak period—people at this age may be more likely to get addicted to short-form videos. 1. What did the research mainly study? A. Basic structure of human brains. B. Common behaviours of the teenagers. C. Influences of short-form videos on our brains. D. Popularity of short-form videos among the young. 2. What does the underlined word “astonishing” mean? A. Surprising. B. Boring. C. Common. D. Simple. 3. What does more brain sensitivity lead to? A. Easier addiction. B. Faster learning. C. Better decisions. D. Calmer emotions. 4. Why might teenagers be more easily addicted to short-form videos? A. Because they use mobile phones more frequently. B. Because they have more free time to use apps. C. Because some genes are more active at their age. D. Because the brain development is largely complete. 5. Which of the following is most likely to be shown next? A. Ways for doctors to treat video addiction symptoms. B. Methods for parents to manage their own video use time. C. Advice for teenagers to reduce short-form video addiction. D. Tips for schools to educate all the people on video risks. 【答案与解析】1. C 2. A 3. A 4. C 5. C 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了中国研究人员针对短视频对人类大脑和基因影响的研究。 1. 细节理解题。根据“They have recently studied how short-form videos reshape our brains and influence our genes.”可知，该研究主要探讨短视频对我们大脑的影响。故选C。 2. 词句猜测题。根据“Students who spent more time on short-form videos had different brain structures and functions from others.”可知，长时间看短视频的学生大脑结构和功能与他人不同，这一结果是令人意外的。“astonishing”意为“令人惊讶的”，与“Surprising”同义。故选A。 3. 细节理解题。根据“This change makes the brain more sensitive to the quick pleasure of watching one video after another. That’s why it’s harder for these students to stop using short-form video apps.”可知，大脑更敏感会导致更难停止使用短视频应用，即更容易沉迷。故选A。 4. 细节理解题。根据“most of these genes show greater activity when people are teenagers. This shows that the teenage years are a weak period—people at this age may be more likely to get addicted to short-form videos.”可知，青少年更易沉迷短视频是因为他们这个年龄段，与短视频成瘾相关的部分基因更活跃。故选C。 5. 推理判断题。文章最后重点指出青少年更易沉迷短视频，结合前文对短视频负面影响的研究，接下来最可能给出针对青少年减少短视频成瘾的建议。故选C。 长难句解析 原句：(第一段第三句) They have recently studied how short-form videos reshape our brains and influence our genes. 译文：他们最近研究了短视频是如何重塑我们的大脑并影响我们的基因的。 分析：本句包含一个由 how 引导的宾语从句。how short-form videos reshape our brains and influence our genes 作动词 studied 的宾语，其中 reshape our brains 和 influence our genes 是由 and 连接的两个并列谓语，共同说明短视频的作用。 原句：(第二段第二句) Researchers collected their brain imaging data using MRI scans to see the nerve system effects of short-form videos, especially in terms of structural changes and functional activity in the brain. 译文：研究人员使用磁共振扫描（MRI）收集了他们的大脑成像数据，以观察短视频对神经系统的影响，特别是在大脑结构变化和功能活动方面的影响。 分析：本句包含现在分词短语和不定式短语。using MRI scans 是现在分词短语作方式状语，说明收集数据的手段；to see the nerve system effects... 是动词不定式短语作目的状语，解释了收集数据的目的。especially in terms of... 是介词短语作补充说明，具体指出了观察的方面。 译文 近年来，短视频在世界范围内变得流行起来。与传统的长视频相比，它们更加便捷。 然而，一些中国研究人员对此有些担忧。他们最近研究了短视频如何重塑我们的大脑并影响我们的基因。这项新研究发现，观看短视频可能会增加大脑活动（活跃性）。这可能导致各种生物和神经系统问题。 在这项研究中，研究人员挑选了111名年龄在17至30岁之间且喜欢使用社交媒体的大学生。研究人员利用磁共振扫描（MRI scans）收集了他们的大脑成像数据，以观察短视频对神经系统的影响，特别是在大脑结构变化和功能活动方面。 结果令人震惊。花更多时间在短视频上的学生，其大脑结构和功能与其他人不同。大脑中有两个区域的灰质有所增加，这两个区域帮助人们做决定、处理信息和控制情绪。这种变化使大脑对接连观看视频带来的快速快感更加敏感。这就是为什么这些学生更难停止使用短视频应用程序。 此外，研究人员发现了近500个与短视频成瘾引起的大脑变化相关的基因。有趣的是，当人们处于青少年时期时，其中大多数基因表现出更高的活性。这表明青少年时期是一个脆弱期——这个年龄段的人可能更容易沉迷于短视频。 重难点词汇 various / ˈveəriəs / adj. 各种各样的 biological /ˌbaɪəˈlɒdʒɪkl / adj. 生物的；生物学的 structural / ˈstrʌktʃərəl / adj. 结构的；构造的 functional / ˈfʌŋkʃənl / adj. 功能的；起作用的 Passage B（AI） What Is AI and How Does It Change Our Lives? Artificial Intelligence, or AI for short, is not just a popular term in movies—it’s a real technology that’s changing how we live, work, and learn. Unlike traditional machines that only follow fixed rules, AI systems can “learn” from data, spot patterns, and make decisions on their own. This ability makes AI different from ordinary tools and gives it huge potential to shape our future. AI is already around us in many ways. When you ask a smart speaker for the weather, or when a phone app suggests songs you might like, you’re using AI. In schools, some teachers use AI tools to check students’ homework quickly and even give personal feedback to help slow learners catch up. In hospitals, AI can analyze medical scans (like X-rays) to find small signs of illness that human eyes might miss, helping doctors make better treatment plans. However, AI also brings challenges. One big worry is job changes: as AI gets better at tasks like factory work or data entry, some jobs may disappear. Another problem is privacy—AI systems need lots of data to learn, and if this data includes personal information (like our phone records or online habits), it could be misused. For example, some companies might use AI to track people’s behavior without their permission. To deal with these challenges, countries around the world are making rules for AI use. These rules aim to keep AI safe and fair: they stop AI from being used to harm people, protect personal data, and make sure AI creates more jobs than it takes away. Many experts also believe that students today should learn about AI, not just to use it, but to understand how it works—this will help them prepare for a world where AI is everywhere. AI is not perfect, but it’s clear that it will play a bigger role in our lives. By using it wisely and solving its problems, we can make AI a tool that helps humans, not replaces them. 1. Which example shows AI being used to help with medical work? A. A smart speaker telling patients the time. B. An app suggesting healthy food to eat. C. AI analyzing X-rays to find signs of illness. D. AI checking students’ medical homework. 2. What is one main challenge AI brings, according to the passage? A. AI can’t learn from enough data. B. AI may take away some people’s jobs. C. AI makes traditional machines useless. D. AI is too hard for people to use. 3. Why do countries make rules for AI use? A. To stop people from using AI in daily life. B. To make sure AI is safe and used fairly. C. To let AI take over all human jobs. D. To collect more personal data for AI companies. 4. What is the author’s attitude towards AI in the passage? A. AI is perfect and will replace humans soon. B. AI has problems, but it can be a helpful tool if used wisely. C. AI is too dangerous and should be stopped. D. AI is useless for daily life and work. 【答案与解析】1. C 2. B 3. B 4. B 本文主要讲述了人工智能（AI）的定义、应用、挑战以及应对措施。 1. 细节理解题。根据“In hospitals, AI can analyze medical scans (like X-rays) to find small signs of illness that human eyes might miss, helping doctors make better treatment plans.”可知，AI分析X光片以发现疾病迹象，这展示了AI在医疗工作中的应用。故选C。 2. 细节理解题。根据“One big worry is job changes: as AI gets better at tasks like factory work or data entry, some jobs may disappear.”可知，AI带来的一个主要挑战是可能会取代一些人的工作。故选B。 3. 细节理解题。根据“To deal with these challenges, countries around the world are making rules for AI use. These rules aim to keep AI safe and fair”可知，各国制定AI使用规则是为了确保AI的安全和公平使用。故选B。 4. 细节理解题。根据“AI is not perfect, but it’s clear that it will play a bigger role in our lives. By using it wisely and solving its problems, we can make AI a tool that helps humans, not replaces them.”可知，作者认为AI虽然存在问题，但如果明智地使用并解决其问题，它可以成为帮助人类的工具。故选B。 长难句解析 原句：(第一段第二句) Unlike traditional machines that only follow fixed rules, AI systems can “learn” from data, spot patterns, and make decisions on their own. 译文：与只遵循固定规则的传统机器不同，人工智能系统可以从数据中“学习”，发现模式，并自主做出决策。 分析：本句包含一个由 that 引导的定语从句和并列谓语结构。that only follow fixed rules 是定语从句，修饰先行词 traditional machines，说明传统机器的局限性；主句中 can “learn”..., spot..., and make... 是三个并列的动词短语，共同作谓语，列举了AI系统的三大核心能力。 原句：(第二段第四句) In hospitals, AI can analyze medical scans (like X-rays) to find small signs of illness that human eyes might miss, helping doctors make better treatment plans. 译文：在医院里，人工智能可以分析医学扫描图像（如X光片），以发现人眼可能会错过的微小疾病迹象，从而帮助医生制定更好的治疗方案。 分析：本句包含不定式作目的状语、定语从句以及现在分词作结果状语。to find small signs of illness 是不定式短语作目的状语；that human eyes might miss 是定语从句，修饰 signs of illness；句末的 helping doctors make better treatment plans 是现在分词短语作结果状语，表示AI分析图像后带来的自然结果。 译文 什么是人工智能以及它如何改变我们的生活? 人工智能（Artificial Intelligence），简称 AI，不仅仅是电影中的热门词汇——它是一项正在改变我们生活、工作和学习方式的真实技术。与只能遵循固定规则的传统机器不同，人工智能系统可以从数据中“学习”，识别模式，并自主做出决策。这种能力使人工智能与普通工具有所不同，并赋予其塑造我们未来的巨大潜力。 人工智能已经在许多方面出现在我们身边。当你询问智能音箱天气情况，或者手机应用程序推荐你可能喜欢的歌曲时，你正在使用人工智能。在学校里，一些老师利用人工智能工具快速检查学生的作业，甚至提供个人反馈，帮助学习较慢的学生赶上进度。在医院里，人工智能可以分析医学扫描图像（如 X 光片），以发现人眼可能遗漏的微小疾病迹象，从而帮助医生制定更好的治疗方案。 然而，人工智能也带来了挑战。一个主要的担忧是就业变化：随着人工智能在工厂工作或数据录入等任务上表现得越来越好，一些工作可能会消失。另一个问题是隐私——人工智能系统需要大量数据来学习，如果这些数据包含个人信息（如我们的通话记录或上网习惯），就有可能被滥用。例如，一些公司可能会在未经允许的情况下利用人工智能追踪人们的行为。 为了应对这些挑战，世界各国正在制定人工智能使用规则。这些规则旨在确保人工智能的安全和公平：它们阻止人工智能被用于伤害人类，保护个人数据，并确保人工智能创造的就业机会多于它取代的岗位。许多专家还认为，今天的学生应该学习有关人工智能的知识，不仅是为了使用它，更是为了理解它是如何运作的——这将帮助他们为一个人工智能无处不在的世界做好准备。 人工智能并不完美，但很明显，它将在我们的生活中扮演更重要的角色。通过明智地利用它并解决其问题，我们可以使人工智能成为帮助人类而不是取代人类的工具。 重难点词汇 potential / pəˈtenʃl / n. 潜力 privacy / prɪvəsi / n. 隐私 misuse /ˌmɪsˈjuːs / v. 滥用 aim / eɪm / v. 目标；旨在 1.

Some experts argue that the internet will produce forgetfulness in the minds of those learning to use it, because they won’t practise their memory. Is the internet really doing harm to our memories—or will our doubtful experts be proven wrong? After all, the brain’s attention system (系统) and preferences for novel experiences were already there long before the digital age, and our ability to remember is nearly inexhaustible (无穷尽的). According to Michael Merzenich, a brain researcher, every brain is a work in progress; it keeps changing throughout our lives, depending on how we use it. But our brains don’t work well when we’re not focused. When we repeatedly check text messages and social media during work, we are weakening our ability to form both short-and long-term memories, experts say. The flooding of information influences our ability to remember, too. Though our brains are designed to look for new data, too much of it may be causing this natural drive to go wild. The compulsion to continuously take in information means we often check social media when we should be doing “memory housekeeping” by giving our brains some rest. Another problem: the effortless way of receiving information online. Trying to actively recall (回忆) data is a good workout for the brain, but today we are using online search tools instead. However, the internet may be changing only what we remember, not our ability to do so, suggests Columbia University psychologist (心理学家) Betsy Sparrow. In fact, the internet is becoming an outside hard drive for our memories. Some worry that this is having a negative effect on society, but Sparrow suggests this will change our way of learning from a focus on remembering facts to one on understanding ideas. As is shown in a 2008 study, using the internet exercised the brain more than reading among older adults with strong computer skills. And two Harvard psychologists argue that not needing to remember facts might free our minds to focus on more meaningful tasks. “There may be costs caused by our increased dependence on the internet, but generally the benefits are going to outweigh those costs,” says Benjamin Storm, a psychologist. “It seems pretty clear that memory is changing, but is it changing for the better? At this point, we don’t know.” 1. What does the word “compulsion” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. Longing. B. Ability. C. Chance. D. Promise. 2. What can we learn from the passage? A. Internet users remember facts better than non-users. B. Novel experiences improve the brain’s attention system. C. Checking social media can give the brain proper breaks. D. The internet may produce a change of focus in learning. 3. How does Benjamin Storm feel about the effects of the internet on memory? A. Uneasy and doubtful. B. Positive but still uncertain. C. Negative but still hopeful. D. Encouraged and confident. 4. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To argue for a belief. B. To challenge a solution. C. To present different views. D. To examine causes and effects. 【答案与解析】1. A 2. D 3. B 4. C 本文是一篇议论文，围绕互联网对人类记忆力的影响展开多方观点讨论，一方面指出分心刷屏、被动检索信息会削弱记忆形成能力，另一方面多位研究者认为互联网只是改变记忆存储内容与学习模式，整体利大于弊，但记忆最终向好还是向坏尚无定论。 1. 根据第三段上下文“The compulsion to continuously take in information means we often check social media...”可知，这种“compulsion”驱使人们不断查看社交媒体，甚至影响了大脑休息。结合选项，A项Longing（渴望、强烈愿望）最符合这种难以控制的冲动之意。 2. 根据第四段中Betsy Sparrow的观点“...this will change our way of learning from a focus on remembering facts to one on understanding ideas.”可知，互联网可能会改变我们的学习方式，从关注记忆事实转变为关注理解理念。 3. 根据最后一段Benjamin Storm的话“generally the benefits are going to outweigh those costs”（总体上利大于弊，态度积极）以及“At this point, we don't know.”（目前我们还不知道，表示不确定），可以看出他的态度是积极但仍存不确定性的。 4. 通读全文可知，文章第一段提出专家担心互联网导致健忘，随后几段分别引用了Michael Merzenich、Betsy Sparrow、Harvard psychologists以及Benjamin Storm等不同专家的观点，讨论了互联网对记忆力的负面影响和正面改变。作者并未单方面论证某一种信念，而是客观呈现了关于该话题的不同观点。 Passage 2 （2026·广东东莞模拟考） There is great excitement and argument over Artificial Intelligence (AI). The argument about whether robots will replace (取代) teachers in the classroom is very heated. Some people think it is sure to happen in the next ten years. Others think that a good teacher can not only bring help to the classroom setting, but also develop a child’s confidence. AI is not new for us and is already being used successfully in many fields such as medicine, science and so on. So what does this mean for our future? In my opinion, AI will help kids to think more freely and creatively. Can AI possibly cut down the teaching work in the future? Of course. Our teachers are always busy preparing for their lessons. Just imagine how happy they will be if they don’t have to correct hundreds of papers, but instead, have this task or others done by machines. However, most importantly, I do not believe AI will be able to deal with the human mental (精神的) condition totally, especially emotional intelligence (情商). What makes learning unforgettable is shared experience, human interaction (互动), and long-lasting positive relationships. For example, experienced teachers can comfort a student if he has suffered a serious loss. But no research shows that robots can deal with this well. I also believe we need to develop our kids’ personality and their ability to make the right decision. To achieve this, depending only on AI is impossible. In short, AI has both its advantages and disadvantages. To what degree (程度) can teachers use AI in their classes? You can have all the information you want with the help of AI, but great teachers will also need to depend on their own feelings. 1. The writer starts the passage by ________. A. telling a story B. comparing different opinions C. listing a number D. giving some suggestions 2. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The successful usage of AI in many fields. B. AI helps teachers to correct hundreds of papers. C. How helpful AI will be to both students and teachers. D. Teachers can help kids think more freely and creatively than AI. 3. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “comfort” in Paragraph 3? A. give up B. turn up C. take up D. cheer up 4. What’s the structure of the passage? (P— Paragraph) A. B. C. D. 5. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Will AI Replace Teachers in the Classroom? B. What can AI Bring Students in the Classroom? C. Is AI a Good Way to Help with Children’s Learning? D. How do Teachers Use AI in Their Classroom Teaching? 【答案与解析】1. B 2. C 3. D 4. C 5. A 本文是一篇议论文，围绕人工智能是否会取代课堂教师这一争议展开，先对比两种不同观点，介绍AI给师生带来的便利，再阐述AI无法替代教师的情感引导与人格培育作用，最后总结AI利弊共存。 1. 根据第一段“There is great excitement and argument over Artificial Intelligence (AI)... Some people think... Others think that...”可知，文章开头摆出两种对立看法，是通过对比不同观点开篇；讲故事、列数字、提建议均不符合第一段内容。 2. 根据第二段“In my opinion, AI will help kids to think more freely and creatively... Our teachers are always busy... if they don’t have to correct hundreds of papers”可知，本段既讲AI对学生学习的帮助，也讲AI减轻老师工作负担，概括AI对师生都很有用；A只讲AI应用领域，B只讲批改试卷，D对比师生与AI，均片面。 3. 根据第三段“if he has suffered a serious loss”可知，学生遭遇重大打击时，有经验的老师会安慰、鼓励学生，cheer up意为“使振作、安慰”，与comfort含义一致；give up“放弃”；turn up“出现”；take up“占据”均不符合语境。 4. 第一段引出话题并提出争议（总）；第二段介绍AI的优势；第三、四段说明AI无法替代教师的两点理由；第五段总结AI利弊、点明教师不可替代（总），属于总分总结构，对应图C；其余结构图段落层次划分与原文不符。 5. 通读全文，文章开篇就提出核心争论“whether robots will replace teachers in the classroom”，全文围绕这一问题正反论证，标题Will AI Replace Teachers in the Classroom?能完整概括全文；B、C只侧重AI的好处，D只侧重教师使用AI，只能概括局部内容。 Passage 1 （2025-2026·广东深圳期末考）Have you ever dreamed of having a smart helper that can solve problems and finish tasks with just a few simple words?

More than 1,000 teens took part in the survey. Thirty-one percent said talking with AI was “as cheerful as or more cheerful” than talking with real people. Half of the teens said they didn’t trust AI advice. One-third said they talked about serious problems with AI instead of real people. Professor Robb said these findings worry parents and teachers. “If teens develop social skills with AI, they receive approval all the time and face no challenges. They never learn to read social cues (信号) or understand other opinions. This may make them unprepared for the real world,” he said. Common Sense Media looked at several popular AI apps. They found that the apps may give dangerous advice and suggest harmful ideas. The group suggests that teens not use AI apps. Eva Telzer, another professor has found in her research that many teens said they used AI to write emails or messages in difficult situations. “They no longer have trust in themselves to make a decision,” said Telzer. “They need AI to tell them if an idea is good or not.” Seventeen-year-old Bruce Perry said he had some similar experiences. “If you tell me to plan an article, I would think of going to ChatGPT before getting out a pencil,” Bruce said. He uses AI every day. He asks AI for advice in social situations, deciding what to wear and writing emails to teachers. He says AI expresses his thoughts faster than he can. However, he’s glad that AI apps were not around when he was younger. “I can imagine a kid. He grows up with AI and seldom goes to the park or tries to make a friend,” he said. While AI makes our lives easier, it may also cause troubles: relying too much on the virtual world can weaken our real-life relationships, and even make us confused about who we are. Using technology wisely, keeping in touch with others and knowing ourselves well, so that we can avoid getting lost. 1. What is probably the purpose of the survey by Common Sense Media? A. To know how teens use AI for their study. B. To learn about why teens use AI and their opinions. C. To raise teens awareness of using AI in their daily life. D. To suggest teens use AI to improve communication skills. 2. What does the word “approval” mean in paragraph 2? A. Questions. B. Warnings. C. Mistakes. D. Acceptance. 3. How does the writer show the problems of teens’ development with AI? A. By using the professors’ words. B. By showing the data of a survey. C. By comparing different teens’ choices. D. By raising questions of teens’ experience. 4. What is NOT mentioned as a problem of teens’ using AI in the passage? A. They may lose the ability to make decisions. B. They may fail to understand people’s opinions. C. They may receive dangerous advice or harmful ideas. D. They may find AI worse than humans at writing articles. 【答案与解析】1. B 2. D 3. A 4. D 本文介绍了青少年使用AI的诸多问题，呼吁大家明智使用AI。 1. 根据第一段可知，调查涵盖了青少年对与AI聊天的感受（cheerful）、对AI建议的信任度（trust）以及是否用AI讨论严肃问题等内容。这些数据旨在了解青少年使用AI的原因及其对AI的看法，B项符合。 2. 根据第二段画线词后的“all the time and face no challenges”以及下文提到的“They never learn to read social cues or understand other opinions”可知，AI总是给予肯定和顺从，不会像真人那样提出质疑或挑战。因此approval意为“认可、接受”，与Acceptance同义。 3. 文章第二段引用了Michael Robb教授的话，分析了青少年依赖AI会导致社交技能缺失、无法应对现实世界的问题；第四段引用了Eva Telzer教授的研究，指出了青少年丧失决策自信的问题。虽然文中也有调查数据，但关于“发展问题”的具体阐述主要通过教授们的观点呈现，A项符合。 4. A项对应第四段“They no longer have trust in themselves to make a decision”；B项对应第二段“understand other opinions”；C项对应第三段“apps may give dangerous advice and suggest harmful ideas”。D项“他们可能发现AI写文章比人类差”在文中未提及。 Passage 3 （2025-2026·广东深圳外国语期末）Restaurants are changing with new technology.
