Dear Editor,
I’m writing to share my opinions on AI tools in our study.
On the one hand, AI greatly benefits our school learning. It helps us work out difficult problems, explain grammar points and supply abundant learning materials, making our study more effective.
On the other hand, AI causes annoying problems. Some students rely heavily on it and copy AI answers directly. As a result, they lose chances to practise independent thinking.
In my opinion, AI is merely a tool. We should make proper use of it instead of depending on it completely.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

A
Here are some of London’s best parks for you to explore.
St. James’s Park
At 23 hectares (公顷), St. James’s is the second-smallest of the eight Royal Parks after The Green Park. But what it lacks in size it makes up for in beauty, with brightly-colored flower beds, a lovely lake and a fountain. It is famous for its pelicans (鹈鹕), which were introduced to the park in 1664 as a gift from the Russian Ambassador to King Charles Ⅱ.
Hyde Park
From hunting to ice-skating, central London’s largest green space really has seen it all. Today Hyde Park is a center of activity throughout the year. If you’re with kids, visit the nearby Princess Diana Playground, where unaccompanied adults are turned away at the gate. The summer season means festivals, with a large section of the park used for open-air concerts.
Regent’s Park
As one of the largest parks of central London, Regent’s Park is also one of the loveliest green spaces. Among its many attractions are London Zoo, Regent's Canal, a boating lake, and sports pitches. Performances take place here in an open-air theater during summer. To the north of Regent’s Park is Primrose Hill, a lovely spot for a relaxing walk or picnic, offering extraordinary views over the city skyline.
Hampstead Heath
With its rolling woodlands, grasslands and abundant wildlife, Hampstead Heath feels far away from the city. Swimmers head to the three bathing ponds, two of which are open year round. Hampstead Heath is home to a variety of butterflies and bird species. This is a wonderful place for a walk, especially to the top of Parliament Hill, which offers expansive views across London.
1. Which is the smallest of the eight Royal Parks?
A. St. James’s Park. B. Regent’s Park.
C. The Green Park. D. Hyde Park.
2. What do Hyde Park and Regent’s Park have in common?
A. Summer performances. B. Ice-skating.
C. Boating races. D. Hunting.
3. What can visitors do in Hampstead Heath?
A. Go for a swim. B. Meet Princess Diana.
C. Enjoy concerts. D. Visit Regent’s Canal.
B
I first encountered the classics in university when I was pursuing a degree in English literature. But combining a lack of life experience with exams, deadlines and a desire for good grades, I didn’t get the chance to sit with them, take them apart and see how they really work.
Some 40 years later, I became an editor. A colleague suggested I read some classics and break them down into simple parts. I was interested. We made a list and I chose to reread many books I had once loved. I was curious to see how they would land decades later. Would they still matter? Could my tech-broken attention handle a long novel like Middlemarch?
Reading Middlemarch when you’re 19 is very different from reading it when you’re 60. So much of Eliot’s work on marriage, relationships, and expectations went unnoticed by my younger self. And so much of it is laugh-out-loud funny. The attention she pays to even secondary characters and the way she pairs people together who are surely to have intense interactions are masterful. I was so swept-away that I texted a friend who had also read Middlemarch in university: “You have to read it again. You won’t believe how good it is.” And how incredibly relevant, even though it was published in 1871. Maybe life has changed since then, but human nature hasn’t.
That’s why rereading classics matters. These books have stood the test of time because their authors understood something about humanity that still touches us and makes us question our motives and choices. In a practical, byte-sized world, reading them helps save what is in danger of being lost: the enjoyment of mastery in language, of characters so alive we might imagine them walking into our living room and of the ability to stand in another person’s shoes and feel what they feel.
4. The author’s classics reading experience in university can be described as ________.
A. shallow B. enjoyable C. complex D. rewarding
5. Why did the author reread the classics?
A. To recall their plots and characters. B. To appreciate writers’ literary skills.
C. To explore their appeal across decades. D. To prove her ability to read long novels.
6. What can be inferred about Middlemarch?
A. It confuses young readers a lot. B. It lacks amusing content.
C. It highlights secondary characters. D. It continues to affect life today.
7. What does the author’s experience show?
A. It is never too late to learn.
B. Like wine, books improve with age.
C. A little learning is a dangerous thing.
D. The more you know, the less you understand.
C
Taylor Swift’s voice has changed in more ways than one. According to a new study, her accent has changed as she moved from state to state and switched music styles, showing how adaptable our speech can be.
Researchers from the University of Minnesota studied hundreds of interviews Swift gave between 2008 and 2019. They focused on three important times in her life: her country music years in Nashville, a transition period, and her pop star years in New York City.
The study found clear proof that her accent adapted to where she was living. While in Nashville, Swift began speaking with hints of a Southern accent. For example, she pronounced words like “ride” in a way that sounded more like “rod”. This is a common feature in Southern dialects. When she moved away from Tennessee, this way of speaking faded.
Another change was the pitch (音高) of her speaking voice. During her time in New York, her voice became significantly deeper. The researchers suggest this might have been a conscious choice to sound more confident and authoritative, as she began speaking out strongly on social issues. However, they also note that voices can naturally get a little lower as people age from their teens into their thirties.
This study shows that our accents are more flexible than we might think. They can change based on our community, career, and even the image we want to project. For a global superstar like Taylor Swift, her voice is a tool that has evolved with her career. Fans have even guessed that this is why she waited to re - record her first album — she’d have to bring back a country accent that wasn’t her natural way of speaking. The research highlights that how we talk is often a reflection of where we are in life, both physically and socially.
8. How was the study carried out?
A. By surveying her fans worldwide.
B. By personally interviewing her.
C. By analyzing the lines in her songs.
D. By examining her public interviews.
9. What was found about Swift’s speech in Nashville?
A. Her voice pitch became higher.
B. She spoke much faster than before.
C. It showed Southern accent features.
D. It was different from Southern dialects.
10. Which of the following factors is mentioned for the change of accents?
A. Physical health. B. Public image. C. Private habits. D. Personal wealth.
11. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Taylor Swift is a special case in accent change.
B. Singers change accents more easily than others.
C. Moving frequently is the main cause for accent change.
D. Accents can change based on social and professional needs.
D
Being more careful in which AI models we use for tasks could potentially save 31.9 terawatt-hours(太瓦时)of energy this year alone.
Tiago da Silva Barros and his colleagues looked at 14 different tasks people use generative AI tools for, ranging from text generation to speech recognition. They then examined public leaderboards for how different models perform. The energy consumption of the models during inference was measured. “Based on the size of the model, we estimated the energy consumption, and then we can use the data for further calculations,” says Tiago da Silva Barros.
Their research found that, across all 14 tasks, switching from the best-performing to the most energy-efficient models for each task reduced energy use by 65.8 percent, while only making the output 3.9 percent less useful. They were surprised by how much could be saved.
However, getting users to pick the most efficient models “is unlikely to result in limiting the energy increase, at least for now,” says Chris Preist at the University of Bristol. “Reducing energy per prompt (提示词) will simply allow more customers to be served more rapidly with more complex reasoning options,” he says.
“So, energy savings would require change from both users and AI companies,” says Tiago da Silva Barros. “We have to think in the direction of running small models, even if we lose some of the performance,” he says. “And companies, when they develop models, it’s important they share some information on the model which allows the users to understand and evaluate whether the model is very energy consuming or not.”
Sasha Luccioni at Hugging Face points out that any research in this space only relies on external estimates and analysis. “What we need, to do these kinds of more complex analyses, is more data from AI companies,” she says. “This will allow researchers and policy-makers to make informed plans and decisions.”
12. What does the research mainly focus on?
A. Behavior patterns of AI users. B. Energy efficiency of AI models.
C. Estimation of AI performance. D. Methods of AI energy measurement.
13. What is Chris Preist’s major concern?
A. The research results are unreliable.
B. Users won’t adopt green AI models.
C. Energy savings may not actually happen.
D. Quicker AI responses will reduce service quality.
14. What needs to be done according to Tiago da Silva Barros and Sasha Luccioni?
A. Slow down AI progress for now.
B. Increase the use of smaller AI models.
C. Develop more powerful AI models.
D. Encourage openness from AI companies.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. AI Advances at a Great Cost. B. Smarter AI Choices Save Energy.
C. AI Consumes Too Much Energy. D. AI Future Remains Up in the Air.

Our bond with dogs has grown much closer these years. While certain factors, such as genetics and environmental exposures, are out of our control, there are a handful of things we can do to help our dogs live longer.
Give them plenty of exercise. Regular exercise is key to dogs’ long and healthy life. 16 You can walk, play games or train them. Even short 10-minute activities work if you are busy.
17 Research shows that social connectedness can have a profound impact on a dog’s well-being. Dogs that have more human and animal friends have fewer diseases. Social connections and lively environments keep dogs mentally engaged and delay their cognitive decline in old age.
Follow the science not trends when feeding them. From home-cooked meals and raw food to freeze-dried, there are numerous options when it comes to feeding your dog. But many carry a range of health risks. Besides, overfeeding also causes obesity and shortens dogs’ lifespan (生命周期). 18
Go to the vet (兽医) at least once a year and more as they age. Scheduling routine exams for your pet can help you catch diseases earlier, start treatment sooner, and improve your dog’s long-term health outcomes and lifespan. 19 After the puppy visits are through, dogs should see a vet once a year and then twice when they reach their senior years.
Brush their teeth. 20 Dental diseases can cause inflammation (炎症) in the body, cause life-threatening infections, and worsen preexisting health conditions like heart disease. Daily brushing is ideal, but even a handful of quick swipes across their teeth a few times a week is beneficial.
A.Help your dog make friends.
B.Take your dog out regularly.
C.Pets need at least 30 minutes of physical activity daily.
D.So choose scientifically standard dog food over trendy diets.
E.Dental care has been linked to reduced death rate in dogs too.
F.Dogs regularly checked are 30% less likely to develop diseases.
G.Home-cooked meals often don’t meet the nutritional needs of dogs.

六、读后续写(共1小题,满分15分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头句续写最后一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Last Saturday, David was taking a walk in the park near his home when he noticed a woman with a boy of about eight years old. When David passed them, he heard the woman yell, “How stupid you are You’re good at nothing.” David stopped and looked at the little boy. The boy said nothing. He just stood there, looking upset.
David was reminded of his English teacher Mrs. Brown in middle school. After he entered middle school, David lacked self-confidence because he was often made fun of by others.
He was told that he was good at nothing, which David believed. But one day it all changed.
In an English writing class, Mrs. Brown asked them to read a novel and write a new essay for the novel after finishing reading. A few days later, David handed in his story. He didn’t give it much thought. But the next day, to his surprise, the comment “well done” from Mrs. Brown came into view the moment he turned to the page where the story was written.
When David saw that, he almost burst into tears. He never expected to be praised one day. He suddenly gained some self-confidence.
That day, after he returned home he wrote a short story and gave it to Mrs. Brown the next morning. And again he was praised.
David became very interested in writing. He often wrote short stories and asked Mrs. Brown to read and correct them for him. Mrs. Brown always pointed out the mistakes he had made and gave him good advice to improve them. One year later, David joined the school newspaper and became an editor of it. He was no longer the boy who lacked self-confidence. He gained his confidence and was hopeful about his future.
He succeeded in entering college and kept writing. Several years after graduating from college, he had his first book published. With more books coming out, he became famous as a writer in his country. And he owed his success to Mrs. Brown’s encouragement. Without her encouragement, his life might be very different now:
Inspired by his own life story, David decided to do something for that boy. He walked up to the woman and the boy, introducing himself. Then he told the woman that words could have a huge impact on a child. He shared his own experience with her, hoping she would understand. Turning to the boy, he said, “You can be good at many things. Just believe in yourself.”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为80左右;
2. 请按格式作答。
续写段落:
The mother was ashamed when she heard that.
