So many of us come from different backgrounds and cultures and it can be difficult to see another person’s or culture’s perspective. We will discuss the multiple spaces and cultures we inhabit. In addition, we will use comedy as a tool to “not take ourselves too seriously” and to aid us in finding solutions to these age-old challenges we humans invent. We will “re-think” and “re-construct” how we position ourselves in our work and our lives so that we might build bridges of trust with each other and with the clients we work with. Educational objectives RECOGNIZE the various spaces and cultures we inhabit individually as well as the various spaces or cultures our clients may inhabit. ANALYZE the ways this might be blocking us from building trust with one another and with our clients. (We will be using comedic tools to keep this light.) IDENTIFY three ways our perspectives may be blocking us from building trust with each other and with our clients. PROPOSE one way to re-think or re-construct the spaces we inhabit individually in order to build trust with each other and with our clients. Frequently asked questions( FAQ) What time is the event?

Instead, Lila just sat alone in a corner, picking at her clothes and never looking up when a teacher talked to her. The teacher suggested that Lila might struggle with socializing. Clara felt worried — she’d never noticed this before — and left the school with a heavy heart. As a nurse, Clara made a hard decision: she quit her job to fully focus on her daughter. She read many books and watched online videos to learn about kids who have trouble fitting in. “People like my daughter love repeating their behavior to calm themselves. Lila likes arranging her toys in a straight line over and over again. If she’s not troubling anyone, I let her be,” Clara says. Despite her efforts, some neighbors often judged her parenting (育儿). Clara faced unkind words, but she stayed patient. She kept a small notebook to record what upset or pleased Lila — loud noises scared her, but soft music made her smile. She also encouraged Lila to join activities like painting and planting flowers. Clara gave up the idea of “fixing” Lila. “I didn’t push her to talk more or play with others. I just wanted her to feel comfortable and grow in her own way,” she says. Today, Lila is more confident — she can say simple greetings, help water the flowers at home, and even share her paintings with the teacher. Clara and her friend started a small group called “Little Stars Shine Too”. They shared Lila’s stories online to help other parents. Clara also wrote a guidebook to support parents of children with special needs. For her, the key is acceptance. “When you stop trying to fit your child into a box, you open the door to a new world,” she says. 24．(2.5分)What caused Clara to leave the school with a heavy heart? A．Her regret at Lila’s performance. B．Her knowing about Lila’s condition. C．Her poor preparations for the interview. D．Her failure to meet Lila’s headteacher. 25．(2.5分)What’s a feature of people like Lila according to Clara? A．They are skilled at playing with toys. B．They are interested in specific activities. C．They keep calm by repeating the same action. D．They need special attention from their families. 26．(2.5分)How does Clara help her daughter Lila? A．By taking part in different activities. B．By creating a supportive environment. C．By working together with her neighbors. D．By reflecting on daily mistakes regularly. 27．(2.5分)Who is the text probably written for? A．Parents. B．Teachers. C．Nurses. D．Students. （本题10分）During the Little Ice Age, the Inuit and the Norse coexisted in Greenland. Although both groups faced the same climate challenges, their fates were different. Why the Inuit thrived while the Norse declined has confused archaeologists for decades. To answer this question, the researchers investigated the issue from a new perspective. A study published in the European Journal of Archaeology by Mathilde Meyer and Dr. Felix Riede reveals the unexpected role of childhood play. The research team analyzed toys unearthed from archaeological sites. The Norse settlements yielded 72 toys. The Inuit settlements, located in similar environmental conditions, yielded 2,397 toys. The study revealed that the Inuit created a much broader and more varied range of toys. These included miniatures of kayaks, knives, and lamps, each designed to teach specific practical skills. In contrast, Norse toys were limited to objects related to traditional agricultural activities, such as bird figures and domestic tools. Dr. Riede explains, “The Inuit’s toys not only mirrored their survival strategies but also actively cultivated innovation among children. The Norse toys, however, stressed a conventional way of life.” More strikingly, the Inuit children’s play grew dramatically over time. This may reflect a deliberate cultural response to environmental pressures. The Inuit’s developmental environment for children emphasized exploration. These practices allowed children to experience new technologies and strategies, such as dog sleds and the umiaq (a large boat), crucial for surviving the harsh conditions. Over time, Inuit toys also revealed subtle shifts in design and emphasis that corresponded to broader ecological and social changes. By contrast, the Norse stuck to established norms, limiting their capacity to innovate or transition to marine-based economies. Though the lack of toys may indicate that Norse society was less creative from the start, the researchers argue that their tendency to give irrelevant toys intensified any initial lack of creativity and ultimately reduced their chances of survival. By contrast, the Inuit’s preference for various and relevant toys paved the way for their children. This research invites reflection on how contemporary societies and modern parents educate children to face future challenges, such as climate change and social crises. 28．(2.5分)What is the main purpose of the new study? A．To solve a historical survival mystery. B．To contrast two parenting philosophies. C．To offer a solution to climate challenges. D．To document two ancient lifestyles. 29．(2.5分)What advantages did Inuit toys have over Norse toys? A．Variety and durability. B．Diversity and adaptability. C．Practicality and stability. D．Creativity and complexity. 30．(2.5分)What did the change in Inuit children’s play over time suggest? A．Sufficient play could reduce survival threats. B．Exposure to more toys improved kids’ creativity. C．Traditional wisdom was overlooked for survival. D．Experimental play facilitated cultural adaptation. 31．(2.5分)What lesson can modern parents draw from the study? A．Offer a wide range of learning opportunities. B．Emphasize toys that promote imagination. C．Choose toys that develop real-world skills. D．Encourage cooperative role-playing games. （本题10分）AI Application in Modern Education Artificial intelligence is reshaping various social fields, and modern education is one of the most rewarding sectors. Limited by fixed schedules and unified teaching modes, traditional education fails to meet students’ personalized learning needs. With high flexibility and data-analysis capacity, AI is significantly improving teaching quality and learners’ overall learning experience. AI’s biggest advantage in education is realizing personalized learning. Students differ in learning paces, academic weaknesses and study habits, which traditional classes can hardly satisfy. Many AI-powered systems collect and analyze students’ learning data, including exercise errors and knowledge mastery. They then generate tailor-made study schedules, spot weaknesses and offer targeted exercises. Studies show AI-assisted personalized learning can raise students’ learning efficiency by nearly 40 percent. AI also greatly reduces teachers’ repetitive routine tasks sharply and eases their pressure. Much of teachers’ time is spent grading objective questions, sorting learning records and writing routine feedback. Intelligent systems can automatically score papers and generate class learning reports. Such tools save teachers over half of their routine time, enabling them to focus more on classroom teaching and student communication. AI deserves wide promotion for its value in balancing education resources. Uneven distribution of educational resources leaves remote areas lacking quality teachers and courses, widening the regional education gap. Breaking time and space limits, AI platforms deliver high-quality curricula to underdeveloped areas, serving as a key solution to promote equitable education. However, AI’s large-scale application in education faces challenges. Data misuse may cause privacy leakage (泄露). Moreover, AI only assists knowledge teaching and cannot replace teachers’ role in students’ mental growth and character building. Besides, many grassroots teachers lack professional AI training, blocking the popularization of intelligent teaching. Joint efforts from educational departments, schools and tech firms are needed to improve AI education systems. Strict data protection rules and standardized teacher training are essential. Despite existing challenges, AI will help build a fairer and more efficient modern education system, making the efforts worthwhile. Therefore, instead of hesitating over its limitations, we should actively embrace AI as a powerful tool to advance education. 32．(2.5分)What is the biggest strength of AI in education? A．It simplifies teachers’ training courses. B．It fully bridges regional education gaps. C．It achieves personalized learning for students. D．It replaces traditional classroom teaching modes. 33．(2.5分)How does AI help reduce teachers’ burden? A．By designing all school teaching courses. B．By handling repetitive daily teaching work. C．By correcting students’ subjective test answers. D．By communicating with students on teachers’ behalf. 34．(2.5分)What can we infer about AI education from the text? A．It has been fully popularized nationwide. B．It has no potential safety risks at present. C．It still has limitations in educational practice. D．It can guide students’ mental development well. 35．(2.5分)What is the author’s attitude towards AI education? A．Supportive. B．Objective. C．Doubtful. D．Negative. （本题12.5分）Patience is a virtue because it cultivates inner strength and sound judgment. In a world that often feels rushed and demanding, the ability to wait calmly and tolerate delays really empowers us to make clear-headed decisions. 36(2.5分) Thus it can prevent us from making choices in a hurry that could have negative consequences. With patience, we’re able to handle challenges with a level head. It helps us to focus on long-term goals rather than short-term setbacks. Things can’t always go according to plan. 37(2.5分) It gives us the strength and determination to remain optimistic. Cultivating patience allows us to appreciate the process of growth and helps us handle difficulties with grace. 38(2.5分) But we can remain calm, peaceful, and happy regardless. Patience plays its most important role in our interactions with people. With patience, we don’t explode at people easily. We work on gathering more information and looking for a solution instead. Another important key to patience is gratitude. Instead of focusing on what we want right now, we focus on being grateful for what we already have. When we are grateful for what we have, we improve our ability to be patient. 39(2.5分) If you resist this, you suffer. That suffering creates more impatience. But if you accept that one of the guarantees of life is change, you will relax. Patience is being present, examining your options, and working to move forward. If things work out, then great. But if they don’t, then we try something else. It’s just that simple. There is so much good in developing the virtue of patience. It takes work, it takes effort, but there are so many benefits of developing patience. 40(2.5分) A．It’s necessary to make early plans. B．However, we must realize that life changes. C．This promotes a great sense of achievement. D．Patience may not always give us what we want. E．Being patient helps us avoid acting out of anger. F．Patience improves our ability to deal with frustration. G．With patience, you will find life flows more beautifully. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）A Meaningful Challenge My high school life has been full of ups and downs, but one experience stands out.

Education doesn’t stop when you leave school, and I don’t just mean further education at university or college. I’m talking about lifelong learning. Whether it’s picking up a new skill, mastering deeper knowledge, or exploring new subjects, continuous learning not only makes our lives colorful, but also keeps our brains active. Learning about new cultures, history, and technology deepens our understanding of the world. Learning can happen anywhere, not just in classrooms. You can learn through online courses, reading books, or talking to people. Learning doesn’t have to be formal; it can be part of your daily life. Also, keeping on improving your skills will enable you to fit in at work sooner and make quicker progress. Employers will value workers who are willing to adapt and develop their skills.

So many of us come from different backgrounds and cultures and it can be difficult to see another person’s or culture’s perspective. We will discuss the multiple spaces and cultures we inhabit. In addition, we will use comedy as a tool to “not take ourselves too seriously” and to aid us in finding solutions to these age-old challenges we humans invent. We will “re-think” and “re-construct” how we position ourselves in our work and our lives so that we might build bridges of trust with each other and with the clients we work with. Educational objectives RECOGNIZE the various spaces and cultures we inhabit individually as well as the various spaces or cultures our clients may inhabit. ANALYZE the ways this might be blocking us from building trust with one another and with our clients. (We will be using comedic tools to keep this light.) IDENTIFY three ways our perspectives may be blocking us from building trust with each other and with our clients. PROPOSE one way to re-think or re-construct the spaces we inhabit individually in order to build trust with each other and with our clients. Frequently asked questions( FAQ) What time is the event?

Instead, Lila just sat alone in a corner, picking at her clothes and never looking up when a teacher talked to her. The teacher suggested that Lila might struggle with socializing. Clara felt worried — she’d never noticed this before — and left the school with a heavy heart. As a nurse, Clara made a hard decision: she quit her job to fully focus on her daughter. She read many books and watched online videos to learn about kids who have trouble fitting in. “People like my daughter love repeating their behavior to calm themselves. Lila likes arranging her toys in a straight line over and over again. If she’s not troubling anyone, I let her be,” Clara says. Despite her efforts, some neighbors often judged her parenting (育儿). Clara faced unkind words, but she stayed patient. She kept a small notebook to record what upset or pleased Lila — loud noises scared her, but soft music made her smile. She also encouraged Lila to join activities like painting and planting flowers. Clara gave up the idea of “fixing” Lila. “I didn’t push her to talk more or play with others. I just wanted her to feel comfortable and grow in her own way,” she says. Today, Lila is more confident — she can say simple greetings, help water the flowers at home, and even share her paintings with the teacher. Clara and her friend started a small group called “Little Stars Shine Too”. They shared Lila’s stories online to help other parents. Clara also wrote a guidebook to support parents of children with special needs. For her, the key is acceptance. “When you stop trying to fit your child into a box, you open the door to a new world,” she says. 24．(2.5分)What caused Clara to leave the school with a heavy heart? A．Her regret at Lila’s performance. B．Her knowing about Lila’s condition. C．Her poor preparations for the interview. D．Her failure to meet Lila’s headteacher. 25．(2.5分)What’s a feature of people like Lila according to Clara? A．They are skilled at playing with toys. B．They are interested in specific activities. C．They keep calm by repeating the same action. D．They need special attention from their families. 26．(2.5分)How does Clara help her daughter Lila? A．By taking part in different activities. B．By creating a supportive environment. C．By working together with her neighbors. D．By reflecting on daily mistakes regularly. 27．(2.5分)Who is the text probably written for? A．Parents. B．Teachers. C．Nurses. D．Students. 【答案】24．B 25．C 26．B 27．A 【导语】文章讲述了母亲Clara发现女儿Lila存在社交困难后，通过观察、接纳和创造包容环境帮助她成长，并呼吁其他家长理解特殊需求儿童的故事。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段“The teacher suggested that Lila might struggle with socializing. Clara felt worried — she’d never noticed this before — and left the school with a heavy heart.(老师认为Lila可能在社交方面存在困难。Clara感到担忧——她以前从未注意到这一点——于是带着沉重的心情离开了学校)”可知，Clara的沉重心情源于首次意识到女儿的情况。 25．细节理解题。根据第二段“People like my daughter love repeating their behavior to calm themselves.(像我女儿这样的人喜欢重复自己的行为来让自己平静下来)”可知，根据Clara的说法，像Lila这样的人会通过重复行为来保持平静。 26．推理判断题。根据第三段“Clara faced unkind words, but she stayed patient. She kept a small notebook to record what upset or pleased Lila — loud noises scared her, but soft music made her smile. She also encouraged Lila to join activities like painting and planting flowers.(Clara面对不友善的言论依然保持耐心。她备有一个小笔记本，记录让Lila不安或开心的事情——响亮的声音让她害怕，而轻柔的音乐却让她微笑。她还鼓励Lila参加绘画和种花等活动)”和第四段“I didn’t push her to talk more or play with others. I just wanted her to feel comfortable and grow in her own way(我没有强迫她多说话或和别人玩。我只是想让她感觉舒服，以她自己的方式成长)”可知，Clara通过观察需求、提供包容性活动和不强求改变，让Lila按自己的方式成长，这些表明Clara的核心方法是创造支持性的环境。 27．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“They shared Lila’s stories online to help other parents. Clara also wrote a guidebook to support parents of children with special needs. For her, the key is acceptance.(他们在线分享了Lila的故事，以帮助其他家长。Clara还编写了一本指南，为有特殊需求孩子的父母提供支持。对她而言，关键在于接纳)”可知，文章讲述母亲Clara发现女儿Lila存在社交困难后，通过观察、接纳和创造包容环境帮助她成长，并呼吁其他家长理解特殊需求儿童。由此可知，文章的目标读者可能是父母。 （本题10分）During the Little Ice Age, the Inuit and the Norse coexisted in Greenland. Although both groups faced the same climate challenges, their fates were different. Why the Inuit thrived while the Norse declined has confused archaeologists for decades. To answer this question, the researchers investigated the issue from a new perspective. A study published in the European Journal of Archaeology by Mathilde Meyer and Dr. Felix Riede reveals the unexpected role of childhood play. The research team analyzed toys unearthed from archaeological sites. The Norse settlements yielded 72 toys. The Inuit settlements, located in similar environmental conditions, yielded 2,397 toys. The study revealed that the Inuit created a much broader and more varied range of toys. These included miniatures of kayaks, knives, and lamps, each designed to teach specific practical skills. In contrast, Norse toys were limited to objects related to traditional agricultural activities, such as bird figures and domestic tools. Dr. Riede explains, “The Inuit’s toys not only mirrored their survival strategies but also actively cultivated innovation among children. The Norse toys, however, stressed a conventional way of life.” More strikingly, the Inuit children’s play grew dramatically over time. This may reflect a deliberate cultural response to environmental pressures. The Inuit’s developmental environment for children emphasized exploration. These practices allowed children to experience new technologies and strategies, such as dog sleds and the umiaq (a large boat), crucial for surviving the harsh conditions. Over time, Inuit toys also revealed subtle shifts in design and emphasis that corresponded to broader ecological and social changes. By contrast, the Norse stuck to established norms, limiting their capacity to innovate or transition to marine-based economies. Though the lack of toys may indicate that Norse society was less creative from the start, the researchers argue that their tendency to give irrelevant toys intensified any initial lack of creativity and ultimately reduced their chances of survival. By contrast, the Inuit’s preference for various and relevant toys paved the way for their children. This research invites reflection on how contemporary societies and modern parents educate children to face future challenges, such as climate change and social crises. 28．(2.5分)What is the main purpose of the new study? A．To solve a historical survival mystery. B．To contrast two parenting philosophies. C．To offer a solution to climate challenges. D．To document two ancient lifestyles. 29．(2.5分)What advantages did Inuit toys have over Norse toys? A．Variety and durability. B．Diversity and adaptability. C．Practicality and stability. D．Creativity and complexity. 30．(2.5分)What did the change in Inuit children’s play over time suggest? A．Sufficient play could reduce survival threats. B．Exposure to more toys improved kids’ creativity. C．Traditional wisdom was overlooked for survival. D．Experimental play facilitated cultural adaptation. 31．(2.5分)What lesson can modern parents draw from the study? A．Offer a wide range of learning opportunities. B．Emphasize toys that promote imagination. C．Choose toys that develop real-world skills. D．Encourage cooperative role-playing games. 【答案】28．A 29．B 30．D 31．C 【导语】文章主要介绍了小冰期格陵兰岛的因纽特人与北欧人共处一地，面对相同的气候困境却走向截然不同的命运；研究人员从儿童玩耍这一新视角展开研究，揭示了玩具差异是二者兴衰分化的关键，并由此反思现代家庭教育方式。 【详解】28．推理判断题。根据第一段“Why the Inuit thrived while the Norse declined has confused archaeologists for decades. To answer this question, the researchers investigated the issue from a new perspective.(因纽特人蓬勃兴旺而北欧人日渐衰落这一问题数十年来一直困扰着考古学家。为解答这一疑问，研究人员从一个全新角度对此展开调研。)”可推知，这项新研究的主要目的是解开这一历史生存谜团。 29．细节理解题。根据第二段“The study revealed that the Inuit created a much broader and more varied range of toys. These included miniatures of kayaks, knives, and lamps, each designed to teach specific practical skills.(研究表明，因纽特人制作的玩具范围更广、种类更加丰富多样，包含皮艇、刀具、灯具等微缩模型，每一款都用来传授特定实用技能。)”以及第三段“Over time, Inuit toys also revealed subtle shifts in design and emphasis that corresponded to broader ecological and social changes.(随着时间推移，因纽特玩具在设计与侧重点上产生细微调整，与大范围的生态、社会变化相适配。)”可知，因纽特玩具相较于北欧玩具拥有多样性与适应性优势。 30．推理判断题。根据第三段“More strikingly, the Inuit children’s play grew dramatically over time. This may reflect a deliberate cultural response to environmental pressures. The Inuit’s developmental environment for children emphasized exploration. These practices allowed children to experience new technologies and strategies, such as dog sleds and the umiaq (a large boat), crucial for surviving the harsh conditions.(更为突出的是，因纽特儿童的玩耍形式随时间大幅丰富，这体现了族群针对环境压力做出的主动文化应对。因纽特为儿童打造的成长环境注重探索实践，这类方式让孩子接触全新技术与生存策略，例如狗拉雪橇与大型乌米亚克船，这些都是在严酷环境中存活的关键。)”可知，因纽特孩童玩耍模式的变化表明探索式玩耍推动了族群的文化适应。 31．推理判断题。根据第二段“These included miniatures of kayaks, knives, and lamps, each designed to teach specific practical skills.(这些玩包含皮艇、刀具、灯具等微缩模型，每一件都旨在传授特定的实用技能。)”、“Dr. Riede explains, ‘The Inuit’s toys not only mirrored their survival strategies but also actively cultivated innovation among children.’(Dr. Riede解释道：‘因纽特人的玩具不仅映射了他们的生存策略，还积极培养孩子的创新能力。’)”以及第四段“This research invites reflection on how contemporary societies and modern parents educate children to face future challenges, such as climate change and social crises.(这项研究促使当代社会与现代家长反思如何教育孩子应对气候变化、社会危机等未来挑战。)”可知，因纽特玩具重在培养现实实用生存本领，由此可推测出现代家长应选择能够培养孩子实际生活技能的玩具。 （本题10分）AI Application in Modern Education Artificial intelligence is reshaping various social fields, and modern education is one of the most rewarding sectors. Limited by fixed schedules and unified teaching modes, traditional education fails to meet students’ personalized learning needs. With high flexibility and data-analysis capacity, AI is significantly improving teaching quality and learners’ overall learning experience. AI’s biggest advantage in education is realizing personalized learning. Students differ in learning paces, academic weaknesses and study habits, which traditional classes can hardly satisfy. Many AI-powered systems collect and analyze students’ learning data, including exercise errors and knowledge mastery. They then generate tailor-made study schedules, spot weaknesses and offer targeted exercises. Studies show AI-assisted personalized learning can raise students’ learning efficiency by nearly 40 percent. AI also greatly reduces teachers’ repetitive routine tasks sharply and eases their pressure. Much of teachers’ time is spent grading objective questions, sorting learning records and writing routine feedback. Intelligent systems can automatically score papers and generate class learning reports. Such tools save teachers over half of their routine time, enabling them to focus more on classroom teaching and student communication. AI deserves wide promotion for its value in balancing education resources. Uneven distribution of educational resources leaves remote areas lacking quality teachers and courses, widening the regional education gap. Breaking time and space limits, AI platforms deliver high-quality curricula to underdeveloped areas, serving as a key solution to promote equitable education. However, AI’s large-scale application in education faces challenges. Data misuse may cause privacy leakage (泄露). Moreover, AI only assists knowledge teaching and cannot replace teachers’ role in students’ mental growth and character building. Besides, many grassroots teachers lack professional AI training, blocking the popularization of intelligent teaching. Joint efforts from educational departments, schools and tech firms are needed to improve AI education systems. Strict data protection rules and standardized teacher training are essential. Despite existing challenges, AI will help build a fairer and more efficient modern education system, making the efforts worthwhile. Therefore, instead of hesitating over its limitations, we should actively embrace AI as a powerful tool to advance education. 32．(2.5分)What is the biggest strength of AI in education? A．It simplifies teachers’ training courses. B．It fully bridges regional education gaps. C．It achieves personalized learning for students. D．It replaces traditional classroom teaching modes. 33．(2.5分)How does AI help reduce teachers’ burden? A．By designing all school teaching courses. B．By handling repetitive daily teaching work. C．By correcting students’ subjective test answers. D．By communicating with students on teachers’ behalf. 34．(2.5分)What can we infer about AI education from the text? A．It has been fully popularized nationwide. B．It has no potential safety risks at present. C．It still has limitations in educational practice. D．It can guide students’ mental development well. 35．(2.5分)What is the author’s attitude towards AI education? A．Supportive. B．Objective. C．Doubtful. D．Negative. 【答案】32．C 33．B 34．C 35．A 【导语】文章主要介绍了人工智能在现代教育中的多重应用优势、现存应用难题以及作者对人工智能赋能教育的态度与展望。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第二段“AI’s biggest advantage in education is realizing personalized learning.(人工智能在教育领域最大的优势是实现个性化学习。)”可知，人工智能在教育方面最大的优势是为学生实现个性化学习。 33．细节理解题。根据第三段“AI also greatly reduces teachers’ repetitive routine tasks sharply and eases their pressure.(人工智能还大幅减少教师重复性日常工作，缓解教师压力。)”可知，人工智能通过处理重复性日常教学工作来减轻教师负担。 34．推理判断题。根据第五段“However, AI’s large-scale application in education faces challenges. Data misuse may cause privacy leakage (泄露). Moreover, AI only assists knowledge teaching and cannot replace teachers’ role in students’ mental growth and character building. Besides, many grassroots teachers lack professional AI training, blocking the popularization of intelligent teaching.(然而，人工智能在教育领域的大规模落地应用面临诸多难题。数据滥用可能会造成用户隐私泄露。此外，人工智能仅能辅助知识授课，无法取代教师在学生心理成长与品格塑造方面发挥的作用。而且，许多基层教师缺少人工智能相关专业培训，这阻碍了智慧教学的推广普及。)”可知，人工智能教育在实际教学应用中仍旧存在诸多局限。 35．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Despite existing challenges, AI will help build a fairer and more efficient modern education system, making the efforts worthwhile. Therefore, instead of hesitating over its limitations, we should actively embrace AI as a powerful tool to advance education.(尽管存在上述问题，人工智能仍将助力打造一个更加公平、高效的现代教育体系，投入研发与推广的付出都是值得的。因此，我们不必因它存在短板而犹豫不决，而是应当主动接纳人工智能，将其作为推动教育发展的强大工具。)”可知，作者对人工智能教育持支持态度。 （本题12.5分）Patience is a virtue because it cultivates inner strength and sound judgment. In a world that often feels rushed and demanding, the ability to wait calmly and tolerate delays really empowers us to make clear-headed decisions. 36(2.5分) Thus it can prevent us from making choices in a hurry that could have negative consequences. With patience, we’re able to handle challenges with a level head. It helps us to focus on long-term goals rather than short-term setbacks. Things can’t always go according to plan. 37(2.5分) It gives us the strength and determination to remain optimistic. Cultivating patience allows us to appreciate the process of growth and helps us handle difficulties with grace. 38(2.5分) But we can remain calm, peaceful, and happy regardless. Patience plays its most important role in our interactions with people. With patience, we don’t explode at people easily. We work on gathering more information and looking for a solution instead. Another important key to patience is gratitude. Instead of focusing on what we want right now, we focus on being grateful for what we already have. When we are grateful for what we have, we improve our ability to be patient. 39(2.5分) If you resist this, you suffer. That suffering creates more impatience. But if you accept that one of the guarantees of life is change, you will relax. Patience is being present, examining your options, and working to move forward. If things work out, then great. But if they don’t, then we try something else. It’s just that simple. There is so much good in developing the virtue of patience. It takes work, it takes effort, but there are so many benefits of developing patience. 40(2.5分) A．It’s necessary to make early plans. B．However, we must realize that life changes. C．This promotes a great sense of achievement. D．Patience may not always give us what we want. E．Being patient helps us avoid acting out of anger. F．Patience improves our ability to deal with frustration. G．With patience, you will find life flows more beautifully. 【答案】36．E 37．F 38．D 39．B 40．G 【导语】本文是说明文。文章强调耐心是一种美德，能培养内在力量和明智判断，帮助我们冷静面对挑战，专注于长期目标。耐心让我们在挫折中保持乐观，改善人际关系，减少冲动和愤怒。感恩和接受变化是耐心的关键。耐心虽需努力培养，但能让生活更美好。 【详解】36．上文“In a world that often feels rushed and demanding, the ability to wait calmly and tolerate delays really empowers us to make clear-headed decisions.(在一个常常让人感到匆忙和要求苛刻的世界里，能够冷静等待并容忍延迟的能力，真的赋予了我们做出明智决策的力量。)”提到耐心能让我们冷静等待，避免冲动决策，E项“保持耐心可以帮助我们避免因愤怒而采取行动。”符合语境，进一步说明耐心如何帮助我们避免因愤怒而做出错误行为，与上下文逻辑紧密相连。故选E。 37．前文“With patience, we’re able to handle challenges with a level head. It helps us to focus on long-term goals rather than short-term setbacks. Things can’t always go according to plan.(有了耐心，我们能够以冷静的头脑应对挑战。它帮助我们专注于长期目标，而不是短期的挫折。事情并不总能按计划进行。)”说明了耐心的现实意义，有耐心让我们冷静面对挑战，专注长期目标，F项“耐心可能并不总能给我们想要的东西。”引出耐心的另一个现实意义——耐心并不总能让我们得到想要的结果，但即便如此，它依然能帮助我们保持积极的心态，与下文“It gives us the strength and determination to remain optimistic.( 但它赋予了我们保持乐观的力量和决心。)”形成对比和呼应。故选F。 38．由下文的转折“But we can remain calm, peaceful, and happy regardless. Patience plays its most important role in our interactions with people. With patience, we don’t explode at people easily. We work on gathering more information and looking for a solution instead.(但我们仍然可以保持冷静、平和和快乐。耐心在我们与他人的互动中发挥着最重要的作用。有了耐心，我们不会轻易对别人发火。我们会努力收集更多信息，寻找解决方案。)”可推断，空处总结上文提到的耐心在面对挑战时的作用，即帮助我们更好地应对挫折和困难，因此推断D项“耐心可能并不总能给我们想要的东西。”与下文是转折关系。故选D。 39．前文“Another important key to patience is gratitude. Instead of focusing on what we want right now, we focus on being grateful for what we already have. When we are grateful for what we have, we improve our ability to be patient.(耐心的另一个关键是感恩。而不是专注于我们现在想要什么，我们专注于感激我们已经拥有的。当我们感激我们所拥有的，我们提高了耐心的能力。)”此句引出耐心与接受生活变化之间的关系，因此推断B项“然而，我们必须认识到生活是变化的。”与下文“But if you accept that one of the guarantees of life is change, you will relax.(但如果你接受生活的保证之一就是变化，你就会放松下来。)”接受变化能减少不耐烦形成因果关系，说明耐心与接受现实之间的联系。故选B。 40．此句为最后一句，总结全文，呼应开头“Patience is a virtue because it cultivates inner strength and sound judgment.(耐心是一种美德，因为它能培养内心的力量和健全的判断力。)”耐心是一种美德，强调耐心带来的积极影响，即让生活变得更加美好。因此推断G项“有了耐心，你会发现生活会变得更加美好。”符合语境，故选G。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）A Meaningful Challenge My high school life has been full of ups and downs, but one experience stands out.

Here, I’d like to share my thoughts on its positive effect as well as negative one. The most obvious advantage lies in the wide choice of courses. Learners can have access to the courses tailored for personal needs regardless of time and space. As a result, learning occurs in such an efficient way that gaining knowledge is easier than ever. The downside is just as noticeable. Along with individualized courses, the Internet presents half-truths that puzzle the young minds where self-control and judging power are still forming. Therefore, I strongly suggest that the use of the Internet should be under supervision of adults. And parents and teachers should provide guidance to ensure it best serves the mental and physical growth of the teens. 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生应学校校报的邀请投稿，就“网络对教育的影响”谈谈自己的看法 【详解】1.词汇积累 转换：transform → turn 积极的：positive→ active 困惑：puzzle→ confuse 建议：suggest→ advise 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：The Internet has transformed the world into a global village, altering all aspects of our life, especially education. 拓展句：The Internet has transformed the world into a global village, which is altering all aspects of our life, especially education. 【点睛】【高分句型1】Along with individualized courses, the Internet presents half-truths that puzzle the young minds where self-control and judging power are still forming.（运用了关系代词that、关系副词where引导的定语从句） 【高分句型2】Therefore, I strongly suggest that the use of the Internet should be under supervision of adults.（运用了that引导宾语从句） 六、书面表达 67．（本题25分）阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow (乌鸦) perched (栖息) on their window. The father asked his son, “What is this?” The son replied, “It is a crow.” After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, “What is this?” The son said, “Father, I have just now told you, it is a crow!” After a little while, the old father again asked his son for the third time, “What is this?” At this time some expression of irritation (恼怒) was felt in the son’s tone when he said to his father with a rebuff (生硬回绝), “It’s a crow, a crow.” A little while later, the father again asked his son the fourth time, “What is this?” This time, the son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times ‘IT IS A CROW’. Are you not able to understand this?" A little while later the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered (发皱的) diary, which he had maintained since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary: “Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question.

He was shocked and deeply ashamed, realizing how impatient he had been with his father. He thought of his rude shouts and rebuffs, and compared them with his father’s endless patience when he was a little boy. His heart was filled with regret and guilt. He sat silently for a moment, unable to say a word, his face burning with shame. Feeling ashamed, the son got down on his knees before his father. He held his father’s old hands tightly, tears rolling down his face, and apologized sincerely for his rudeness. “Dad, I’m sorry. I was so selfish and impatient,” he said. The father smiled gently, stroked his son’s head and helped him up, saying he never blamed him. The two hugged tightly, and the warmth of family filled the room. 【导语】本文以“父子与乌鸦”为线索展开，讲述了一位80岁的父亲反复问已成年且受过高等教育的儿子“那是什么”，儿子一次次表现出恼怒与回绝；父亲取来儿子出生起便记的旧日记，上面写着：儿子三岁时常把乌鸦问23次，父亲每次都温柔拥抱、毫无厌烦。日记让儿子看到自己对待年迈父亲的态度与当年父亲对自己的耐心形成强烈反差，从而引出愧疚、反省与和解。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句可知，第一段可描写儿子读后内心受到震动，回忆自己刚才的吼叫与父亲当年的包容，陷入自责与羞愧，情绪由烦躁转为悔恨。 ② 由第二段首句可知，第二段可描写儿子跪在父亲面前认错、拥抱、父亲宽恕，最后两人和好，房间充满温情与理解。 2. 续写线索：读日记——震惊羞愧——回想幼年父爱——下跪认错——拥抱和解——感悟孝与爱 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ① 抚摸头：stroke one’s head/pat one’s head ② 拥抱：hug/embrace/hold sb. in one’s arms 情绪类 ① 震惊的：shocked/amazed/astonished ② 眼泪顺着脸颊流下来：tears rolling down one’s face/tears streaming down one’s face 【点睛】【高分句型1】He was shocked and deeply ashamed, realizing how impatient he had been with his father.
