Under the new rules,students cannot use AI tools like ChatGPT at school.High school students can use only a few AI tools,and teachers must stay with them when they do.Teachers may use AI to help plan lessons,but they cannot use it to grade students'homework. People have different ideas about the new rules.Many parents are happy about them.They worry that AI will make children stop thinking by themselves.But some people do not agree.They say students can still use AI at home,so stopping it at school does not really help.Students should learn how to use it well at school,they say. New York is not the only city.In Los Angeles,students cannot use Al on school computers, either.Thirty-seven states also give schools advice on how to use Al,but there are still no rules for the whole country.The people who made the new rule know that they cannot stop students from using AI at home.They hope parents will help and watch how their children use computers. 68.Why did New York City make the new rule about AI? 69.How do middle school and high school students use AI differently? 初：“英语第9页共10页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP 70.Do young students learn better with Al or without Al at school?Why? 九、书面表达（共1题；满分15分） 假如你是李华，你的英国笔及Jo来信想了解你进入八年级后的生活，请你给他写一封电 子邮件，要点如下： 最好的朋友 外貌、性格、爱好 最喜欢的一门学科，并介绍至少两点学好该学 校园与学习 科的方法 学校重视劳动教育，你在实践中学到了什么 校园与生活 (如D1Y..) 你的感受 谈谈你对校园生活的看法 1.词数90左右，开头已给出，不计入总词数： 2.照抄试卷中语篇内容不得分： 3.文中不得出现真实校名和姓名等信息。 Dear John, How is everything?I'm writing to share my school life with you.
