重庆市高一英语下学期期末考试试卷(含解析)

重庆市2022-2023学年高一下学期期末英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________一、阅读理解Do you love holidays but hate the increase weight that follows? You are not alone. Holidays are happy days with pleasure and delicious foods. Many people, however, are worried about the weight that comes along with these delicious foods.With proper planning, though, it is possible to control your weight. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You don't have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy. The following suggestions may be of some help to you.Do not miss meals. Before you leave home for a feast(宴会), have a small, low-fat snack(小吃). This may help to keep you from getting too excited before delicious foods. Begin with clear soup and fruit or vegetables. A large glass of water before you eat may help you feel full. Use a small plate; a large plate will encourage you to have more than enough.Better not have high-fat foods. Dishes that look oily or creamy have much fat in them. Choose lean meat(瘦肉 ). Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables. If you have a sweet tooth, try mints (薄荷) and fruits. They don’t have fat content as cream and chocolate. Don’t let exercise take a break during the holidays. A 20-minute walk after a meal can help burn off excess(过多的) calories.1．Holidays are happy days with pleasure but they may ______.A．bring weight problems B．bring you much trouble in your life C．make you worried about your foods D．make you hate delicious foods 2．In order to really enjoy your holidays without putting on weight, you’d better ______.A．drink much water and have vegetables only B．not eat the food in high fat C．not accept invitations to feasts D．turn away from delicious foods 3．According to the passage, ______ is a necessary part to stop you from putting on weight.A．vegetables B．water C．calories of energy D．physicalexercise4．Many people can’t help putting on weight after the holidays because they ______.A．can’t control themselves B．go to too many feastsC．enjoy delicious foods D．can’t help turning away from the foodsKaren Woolley had a dream and the only way she was going to make it come true was to purchase farmland. She and her husband, Glen, decided to buy a farm near Lakehurst, Oct., in 2000. With a barn (畜棚) built in the mid-1800s, as well as a farmhouse on the property, they were set to start purchasing animals that can be kept on a farm to fill the barn.Karen’s love of animals kept spilling over into other parts of the bar; this is when she decided share these critters (家畜) with the world, including city kids who were rarely around farm animals, and seniors in nursing homes who had been farmers themselves for many years.Karen bought a vehicle and started taking her animals to visit various groups in the community. Off she went with her baby rabbits, chicks, ducks, and geese. With a low fenced-in area, crowds of people excitedly picked up the critters to hold and touch as they admired nature in unusual locations.Back on the farm, Karen’s daughter, Fiona, is in charge of the heated hen house. She feeds and cleans their pens and makes sure they are comfortable until the heat of late spring arrives. Later, all are sent out into the field to enjoy the sweet grasses and sunshine. With Glen’s help, fences are fixed, feeding stations are built and animals are fed regularly to keep everyone happy and the farm in working condition.With her efforts coming along as planned, Karen continues to share her critters far and wide. She enjoys seeing people’s reactions when a little duck is placed in the hands of young or old alike — it provides such satisfaction to a lady who wants to share her dream.5．What did Karen decide to do in 2000?A．To build a farmhouse on her farm. B．To buy a farm to follow her dream.C．To enlarge her farm to make money. D．To keep homeless animals on her farm.6．What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 refer to?A．The growing number of animals on her farm.B．City kids having no chance to feed animals.C．Her increasing love for farm animals.D．The difficulty of managing her farm.7．How were Karen’s visits in the community?A．They won huge popularity.B．The bothered people a lot.C．They were unhelpful for the farm.D．They encouraged people to protect wild animals.8．What is the attitude of Karen’s family toward her business? A．Worried. B．Thankful. C．Supportive. D．Disapproving.Three-dimensional printing, a technology that creates objects layer by layer, has revolutionized the way we make things. Recently, a group of Chinese scientists took things a step further by using this technology to create realistic replicas of human organs.Previously, it was challenging to create a single material that could print different human organs due to their complexity. The research team from the Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics at the Chinese Academy of Science started by using hydrogel, a soft gel-like material as the main ingredient.Human organs have various textures, with our brains being the softest. To replicate the hardness of materials like bone, the researchers added metallic elements to the hydrogel and adjusted their ratio to create the texture of each organ. However, the structure inside human organs is also incredibly complex with many interweaving channels. To make sure the printing results are correct, the team used light-curing technology in the 3D printing process. A special lamp was placed under the printing machine, causing the gel to become solid right after it was printed.According to the team’s paper published in the journal Advanced FunctionalMaterials, they were able to produce organ models including the brain, lungs, and intestines.These 3D printed organ models are essential for research purposes, such as testing medical equipment and demonstrating surgeries.Compared to live organs and animal models, they are also ethically acceptable since they are printed artificially. They can help researchers develop new treatments more efficiently, due to their lower relative cost, commented the Alliance of Advanced Biomedical Engineering website.Hydrogel materials, however, usually cannot be used as transplants, because human cells are likely to recognize them as “enemies” and start to fight against them. What scientists have been exploring in “printing”the organs is bioprinting: using 3D printing technology to build up various types of cells and materials layer by layer. This way, the printed product will be more acceptable to grow inside the human body. However, this method is still developing , and experts are hoping it will be used in the medical field within a decade, according to CNN.9．What was the main challenge in printing human organs?A．The complexity of soft-like gel.B．The high cost of printing materials.C．The lack of appropriate printing technology.D．The sophistication of human organs.10．How did the research team ensure the accuracy of the printing results? A．By controlling the number of metallic elements.B．By using light-curing technology before printing.C．By solidifying the gel immediately after printing.D．By putting a special lamp over the printing machine.11．What is a benefit of 3D organ models according to the article?A．They work better than animal models.B．They can be used to test surgical tools.C．They can fully replace animal testing.D．They are easily made and are affordable.12．Why are hydrogel materials usually unsuitable for transplants?A．They are not durable enough.B．They can be rejected by the body.C．They are likely to release toxins.D．They are too hard to control during surgery.How often have you heard decision-makers say, “Just give me the facts.”The assumption? The “facts” alone—delivered without emotion—convey the whole story. But experiments by psychologists have long suggested otherwise.The data show that emotion plays an essential role in all communication. That’s because people first seek out and prioritize the emotional meaning hidden in the language. They process the emotional content in about 200 milliseconds. The rest of the meaning gets processed in 400-plus milliseconds. When we comprehend, we combine the “hot” component of processing (emotion and feeling) with the “cold” (facts and logic). That’s how we come up with the full meaning. What’s more, hot processing often dominates. And it gains the upper hand well after the cold processing. It doesn’t matter if people are reading or listening. Nor does it matter where they live on the planet or how they grew up.This means that, when choosing your words, you best consider their emotional associations. Choose the language in which the emotional component agrees with or amplifies your intended meaning. Pioneering psychologist Amos Tversky and a team did a classic experiment that shows the impact of getting the feeling wrong: They gave Harvard Medical School physicians statistics on outcomes for lung cancer treatments. The data came from two sets of patients, some who had surgery, and some who had radiation. The doctors were to decide which treatment was preferred.Roughly half the doctors got data as “probability of living”after treatment. The rest got the same data as the “probability of dying.” The result? The doctors’ answers depended not on the data alone. Their judgment is also based on whether the wording indicated a happy or sad emotion. The most interesting finding: “The attractiveness of surgery, compared with radiation, was much greater when the problem was described in terms of the probability of living rather than in terms of the probability of dying.”13．What can we learn about communication from paragraph 2?A．The emotional content is often ignored.B．The language used doesn’t matter that much.C．Feelings become understood before facts.D．Emotions are more important than words.14．What can we infer about the hot processing?A．It’s powerful. B．It’s complex.C．It’s delicate. D．It’s flexible.15．What does the underlined word “amplifies” mean in paragraph 4? A．Comprehends. B．Predicts.C．Enhances. D．Evaluates.16．What influenced the doctor’s evaluation in the experiment? A．Implications of words.B．Probability of survival.C．Emotional stability.D．Personal preferences.二、七选五Someone asked “What’s your “secret” to a happy life? What makes your life wonderful?” on a forum.I don’t want to make you annoyed. In fact, I think I’ve got a higher levelof life satisfaction than a lot of my friends. I can make sure there are four things that I think I do a little differently from a lot of people. 17 ＊Focus on being grateful for all the amazing and miraculous things in my life.My wife is a good human, I work with good people, 18 , etc... Lookingat the basic, ordinary stuff around me and appreciating it really helps me feel like I’m a lucky person.＊Try to find pity for people - especially those who make me mad in one wayor another.19 If so, you usually just remember their negative ones.20I don’t think people realize how painful they feel until they’ve lost something. I don’t think how they want to express their love for those who havedied until they’ve made a truly regretful mistake. However, it is too late.＊Ask yourself if you could be wrong, and really be open to it.21 It is not so important whether you are right or wrong. As long as you’re looking around your world with an open heart and an open mind, the pure intentions behind anything will shine through.A．I am not sick right now.B．Here are some tips for you.C．I hope they will bring you some joy!D．I’ve lost touch with my good friends.E．Tell people you love them and be generous with your friends.F．Give yourself a break, and don’t blame yourself with unreasonable standards.G．If you don’t have sympathy, you will stop trying to find the truth behind people’s actions.三、完形填空I work for a non-profit organization that serves children with disabilities.that her baby will experience a happy life.

At 21，Ricardo Semler became boss of his father's business in Brazil，Semco，which sold parts for ships. Semler Junior worked like a mad man，from 7：30 am，until midnight every day. One afternoon，while touringa factory in New York，he broke down. The doctor who treated him said，"There's nothing wrong with you. But if you continue like this, you'll find a new home in our hospital. "Semler got the message. He changed the way he worked. In fact，he changed the ways his employees worked too.He let his workers take more responsibility so that they would be the ones worrying when things went wrong. He allowed them to set their own salaries，and he cut all the jobs he thought were unnecessary，like receptionists and secretaries. This saved money and brought more equality(平等）to the company. "Everyone at Semco，even top managers，meets guests in reception，does the photocopying，sends faxes，types letters and dials the phone."He completely reorganized the office：instead of walls，they have plants at Semco，so bosses can't shut themselves away from everyone else. And the workers are free to decorate their workspace as they want. As for uniforms，some people wear suits and others wear T-shirts.Semco has flexible （灵活的）working hours：the employees decide when they need to arrive at work. Also，Semco lets its workers use the company's machines for their own projects，and makes them take holidays for at least thirty days a year.It sounds perfect，but does it work? The answer is in the numbers：in the last six years，Semco's revenues（收入）have gone from $35 million to $212 million. The company has grown from eight hundred employees to 3，000. Why?Semler says it's because of "peer pressure". Peer pressure makes employees work hard for everyone else. If someone isn't doing his job well，the other workers will not allow the situation to continue. In other words，Ricardo Semler treats his workers like adults rather than children, and expects them to act like responsible adults. And they do.【1】Why did Semler change the way he and his employees worked?A．Because he went crazy because of overwork.B．Because he had to receive treatment in hospital.C．Because his father asked him to.D．Because the doctor warned him of the danger of overwork.【2】Semler made a variety of changes in his company Except that__________.A．the number of the employees is reduced to save moneyB．the employees can take only 30 days off for holiday every year.C．flexible working hours were introducedD．the employees enjoyed a lot of freedom【3】What’s the main idea of Paragraph five?A．Ricardo Semler’s new management method succeeded.B．Ricardo Semler’s idea sounded perfect but not practical.C．The company earned a lot of money.D．The reason for his success.【4】In his company, what does Ricardo Semler value most?A．freedom B．rules C．responsibility D．hard work2.In countries around the world, food has been used to celebrate at our holidays, our rituals and our family gatherings. The food eaten at holiday time has made the deepest impact on our culture and memories. Different holidays bring different types of food. Much of the food we eat during the holidays comes from old traditions handed down for hundreds of years.New Year's Eve always brings parties and get-togethers, but where you live in the world may determine what food graces your table. In the southern US, partiers eat black eyed peas, which are thought to bring good luck and prosperity(繁荣). The Japanese also eat food for good luck on New Year's, but their choice is red snapper, the color red being considered good luck in Japan. The Jewish celebrate New Year by eating apples dipped in honey and in Madrid, Spain the last minutes of the New Year are counted down with the popping of grapes into the mouth. A pet is a cake prepared by the Greek with a coin baked into it. The person who gets the slice of cake with the coin in it should have good luck in the upcoming year.In the United States, a typical Christmas feast can contain a variety of foods ranging from turkey to chicken, from ham to goose, but other countries celebrate this holiday differently. Perhaps these choices have been taken from the traditions of our heritage(遗产). In Denmark, a traditional Christmas meal is roast goose, Greece, leg of lamb. Traditionally, Italians keep their Christmas Eve meal meatless. The traditional Christmas dinner in New Zealand is a picnic eaten on the beach.Though holidays around the world are celebrated in different ways, it is food, feast and family that bring us together.【1】According to the passage, in different holidays people usually ______.A．have different kinds of food to eatB．recall the interesting life when they were youngC．have a wide variety of parties.D．get together to play games.【2】All the following can bring people good luck except_____.A．a cake with a coinB．red snapperC．black eyed peasD．apples dipped in honey.【3】We can know from the third paragraph that ______.A．roast goose is American’s favorite food during ChristmasB．people in Denmark and Greece share the same food during ChristmasC．Italians don’t have meat during ChristmasD．people in New Zealand like playing games on the beach【4】Which of the following can be the main idea of the passage?A．Holiday foods vary from culture to culture.B．Different countries have different cultures.C．People have a good appetite during holiday.D．Different foods are served during Christmas.3.He is talent and charm(魅力) have made him the No.1 Chinese classical artist in the world. He played in the grand Beijing Olympic opening ceremony last summer, watched by a TV audience of 5 billion.Lang Lang, 26, is the first Chinese pianist to play with th e world’s top orchestras, making his debut at the Carnegie Hall in New York at 18, while still a student.Lang Lang’s charm and fondness for sharp clothes make him a natural fit to represent（代表）China’s new international image. According to the British news paper the Times, “The Lang Lang effect” is responsible for driving 36 million Chinese children to learn the piano.Now in China children are learning Chopin(肖邦) and Western orchestras are touring Chinese cities, but can China ever export（出口）its own music to the west? Lang is trying. His cooperation with the London Symphony Orchestras this month includes a performance of Dragon Songs, an album of traditional Chinese classics. Behind the international recognition, however, is a fascinating story of a gifted child. Lang grew up with his father’s own musical ambition and high expectations. It is not hard to imagine how boring it must be to practice the piano every day. Lang said that he once hated his hands and the piano. He injured his right hand six years ago and had to rest. “That was the best month,” he says, without hesitation. “I had a date. I saw a Broadway show and saw Britney Spears in concert.”【1】Which of the following is NOT the reason why Lang Lang is the No.1 Chinese classical artist in the world? A．He played in the Beijing Olympic opening ceremony last summer.B．He has as many as 5 billions fans in China.C．He is the first Chinese pianist to play with the world’s top orchestras.D．He plays the piano so well and has a good international image.【2】The underlined word “debut” in the second paragraph probably means____.A．first class B．first performance C．first plan D．first choice【3】Which of the following statements about Lang is true?A．He has 36 million Chinese students in China.B．He is touring China giving concerts.C．He is trying to export Chinese music to western countries.D．He only played traditional Chinese classics in his cooperation with the London Symphony Orchestra.【4】From the last paragraph we can infer _____.A．Lang didn’t like his father when he was littleB．he was happy to practice the piano everydayC．his father’s desire and expectations played an important role in his childhoodD．he injured his right hand on purpose six years ago4.There has been a large increase in the number of natural disasters over the past few years, and it is believed that global warming and climate change could cause even more disasters in thefuture. Some of the world’s leading cities are facing disasters like floods and heat waves.LondonLondon’s flood defences are getting older. Since 1982, the Thames Barrier(水闸)has protected the city from the threat (威胁)of flooding, but it was only designed to last until 2030 and close once every two or three years. About 31 years later the barrier now closes five or six times a year and according to Environment Agency predictions, by 2050 the barrier will be closed on almost every tide if the problem is not solvedThere are 26 underground stations, 400 schools, 16 hospitals, an airport and 80 billion worth of property(财产）in London’s flood risk area, so large scale flooding would be disastrous.ParisOver a six week period in July and August 2003, more than 1 1,400—mainly elderly people—died in France from dehydration(脱水)and extremely high body temperature in a deadly heat wave. Heat waves of similar intensity(强度)are expected every seven years by 2050, so what can be done to make sure such a disaster does not happen again?One solution is to have air-conditioners installed（安装）in elderly care homes. But this is considered a short-term solution, as the increase in demand for electricity also increases carbon emissions(排放).In Paris the local authorities are encouraging architects to design new types of buildings such as the building “Flower Tower,” which uses a covering of bamboo to act as a natural air-conditioner.ShanghaiShanghai is the fastest growing city on Earth. It has a population of 18 million and is only 4 meters above sea level. Sea levels are predicted to rise by 20 cm within the next century.About 250，000 people move to Shanghai every year in search of work, placing extra demands on energy consumption（消耗）. China depends heavily on coal—fired power stations, but these emissions increase temperatures and, in turn, warmer seas increase the risk of typhoons.【1】What problem should be settled now in London?A．How to protect the city’s propertyB．Where to build its flood defencesC．How to use the Thames Barrier to protect the cityD．How to improve the function of the old flood defences【2】Which of the following measures can’t solve the heat wave disaster in Paris?A．Putting up new types of buildings with a covering of bamboo.B．Having air-conditioners installed in elderly care homes.C．Forbidding the city to build “Flower Tower”.D．Encouraging architects to design new types of buildings.【3】The major threats to Shanghai are __________.A．increasing population and coal-fired power stationsB．rising sea levels and typhoonsC．extremely high temperature and rising sea levelsD．extra demands on energy consumption and typhoons【4】The purpose of the passage is __________.A．to tell us how to protect the big citiesB．to give advice on how to defend natural disastersC．to explain what causes flood and heat wavesD．to warn us of the increasing natural disasters in big cities5.C.O.P.D(慢性障碍性肺病) blocks air flow through the lungs. It makes breathing difficult. The leading cause ofC.O.P.D. is cigarette smoking. Experts at the National Institutes of Health in the United States say there is no cure to the damage to the lungs.Dawn De meo is an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts. She said, “By 2020, C.O.P.D. may be the third leading cause of death across the world.”C.O.P.D. is a new name for emphysema（肺气肿） and chronic bronchitis（慢性支气管炎）. These are the two most common forms of the disease. Many people with C.O.P.D. have both of them. And Doctor Demeo says more women than men now die from the disease.She is the lead author of a study by a team from Harvard’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital and the Univers ity of Bergen in Norway. The new study adds to findings that women may be more at risk than men from the damaging effects of smoking.The team examined results from a Norwegian study of 954 people with C.O.P.D. Inga-Cecilie Soerheim co-wrote the team’s fin dings. Doctor Soerheim says they show that women suffered the same level of C.O.P.D.as men.But the female smokers were younger and had smoked a lot less.The team also looked at two groups among the people in the study. These were people under the age of 60 and those who had smoked for less than 20 years.

To prove the predictions are possible.B. To show the inventions are necessary.C. To list the achievements of the year.D. To express the confidence for travel.7.What's the best title for the text？______A. A new type of air taxi.B. Prediction for future of travel.C. The advantage of 3 D prints.D. The solution to future packing.CA Spanish project is trying to use 3 D-printed coral reefs to provide habitat for fish and protection for beaches and coastal communities at risk from rising seas and other damage.Coral reefs are decreasing globally，and some scientists say we could lose 70%-90% of reefs because of warming ocean waters.That has lots of serious influences because a quarter of the world's fish live in and around reefs.Reefs are important protectors of coastal communities threatened by high waves，and they support the biodiversity（生物多样性）.That led Nadia Fani and her co-founder Astrid Kramer to start Coastruction，a non-profit organization."Even if you start on a small scale（规模）….a square kilometer already，it could have a great impact，"Fani says."It could really protect a coast，a beach，or an area where there is a community and it needs protection because the sea level is rising."Being able to use 3 D printing is important，because you can match individual sites.Every place is different with different coral species."It's like everybody has a different house，"Fani says."You can consider habitat requirements of not just the coral but also the fish that live nearby."Their present technology can print various shapes.The result can be an amazingly natural-looking man-made rock withplenty of corners for both coral and fish to make homes.The Coastruction founders don't think they can possibly meet the global demand，so their goal is to provide the tools-like the 3 D printer-for local people and develop the technology to create the artificial（人造的） coral reefs by using cheap and locally-available materials.The 3 D printer works on-site，so there's no transport of finished blocks required.8.What does the underlined word"That"in paragraph 2 refer to？______A. The biodiversity of coral reefs.B. The loss of global coral reefs.C. The warming of ocean waters.D. The reduction in coral species.9.What do Fani's words imply？______A. 3 D-printed reefs can hardly save the ocean.B. 3 D-printed reefs fail to provide perfect fish habitat.C. Small actions make a difference to ocean protection.D. Small-scale production of reefs is a drop in the ocean.10.What result can the present 3 D printing achieve now？______A. Creating lifelike reefs.B. Lowering reefs' temperatures.C. Printing regular-shaped reefs.D. Using any material to produce reefs.11.What is one goal of the Coastruction founders？______A. Putting their reefs into mass production.B. Transporting finished reefs to more places.C. Adapting their technology for local conditions.D. Adding chemicals to reefs to make them colorful.二、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。

Although some factors in the cost-of-living crisis are out of our hands，there are steps everyone can take.Here are our top tips.Set a budget（预算）.Once you have a clear idea of the money that you use，you know how much money you have left to set apart and spend in other areas of your life.Check your basket.Thinking ahead about your meals and writing down a shopping list can give you a better chance of sticking to your budget.Get a budgeting partner.Set aside 10 minutes each week to check in with a friend or a family member，track your spending and share your money saving methods.Learn good habits.Some financial respected experts can bring free courses to help people build financial security to help young people.8.What can be inferred from paragraph 1？______A.

From the family.11.Who probably would be the target reader？______A. British young people.B. People under-24s.C. Millions of young people.D.

She did not receive a new toy or her favorite candy; rather, she got a wig(假发).Mustafa had to go through painful procedures after being diagnosed(诊断)with cancer at an early age. Her father expressed her sadness when she lost her hair after months of chemotherapy(化疗). “She saw children of her age jumping in playgrounds and spending hours styling their hair, while she couldn’t. Losing her hair made her hopeless, negatively impacting her response to treatment,” the girl’s father said.Coming from a less fortunate family, Mustafa now sits in a humble hairdresser’s in Cairo, sliding her fingers through her new long hair as she looks in the mirror with fresh enthusiasm. Behind that smile and renewed confidence is Salam, from Egypt, who has been personally funding and designing free wigs for children with cancer to give them power to defeat their illness.Salam took up his mission when he saw a viral video on social media of a young cancer patient who was excited at receiving a new wig. It was the moment when he decided to provide free wigs to children with cancer to lift up their spirits. “Many families can barely afford expensive cancer treatment costs, let alone costly cosmetic(美容)services that can play a huge role in restoring children`s confidence and giving them strength to continue their treatment,” said Salam.As part of the self-funded initiative, Salam purchases the necessary requirements to make a wig, while his father helps design hairstyles to serve different children. So far, Salam has helped over 15 children walk out of his shop empowered with big smiles.Despite the several challenges, Salam said making wigs gives him as much happiness as it does for his young customers. “Children need the emotional and moral support to go through this tough illness.” He added, “Losing their hair drives them to withdraw into themselves out of fear and embarrassment. I cannot help in their treatment, but I can help them get through it.”4．Why are a toy and candy mentioned in paragraph 1?A．To suggest the girl’s age.B．To imply a serious illness.C．To show the shortage of toys.D．To highlight the value of the wig.5．What can be learned from the father`s words?A．Hair style matters much.B．Sports benefit Mustafa.C．Hair loss depressed Mustafa.D．Mustafa’s treatment failed.6．What led to Salam`s decision on the mission?A．His sympathy.B．Family support.C．Govemment fund.D．Mustafa’s enthusiasm.7．What kind of person is Salam according to the passage?A．Cautious and creative.B．Inspiring and talented.C．Caring and determined.D．Ambitious and patient.Overcoming learning disabilities has long been a challenge for educators and students alike. However, recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technology have shown promise in revolutionizing the way we approach education for students with learning disabilities.One of the most significant ways AI can assist is through the use of adaptive learning systems. These systems use algorithms (算法) to analyze a student’s performance and adjust the learning content and pace accordingly. This personalized approach allows them to progress at their own pace, without feeling overwhelmed or left behind. Furthermore, adaptive learning systems can identify areas where a student may be struggling and provide targeted support.Another way AI can support them is through natural language processing (NLP) technology. NLP enables computers to understand and interpret human language, allowing AI-powered tools to provide real-time feedback on a student’s written work. This can be particularly beneficial for students with dyslexia, who often struggle with spelling, grammar, and sentence structure. By providing immediate feedback, students can identify and correct their mistakes, leading toimproved writing skills and increased confidence.AI can also play a role in developing their social and emotional skills. Many students with learning disabilities experience social isolation. AI-powered social robots can recognize and respond to human emotions, allowing students to engage in interactive conversations and activities that help develop their social and emotional intelligence.While the potential benefits of AI in education are clear, it is essential to recognize AI isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Educators must carefully consider the moral implications of using AI in the classroom and ensure these tools are used responsibly and with the best interests of the students in mind. Moreover, it is crucial to remember AI shouldn’t replace human educators but rather serve as a tool to enhance and support their efforts. Teachers play a vital role by providing empathy, understanding, and guidance that cannot be reproduced by a machine. By combining the power of AI with the skills and compassion of human educators, we can create a more inclusive and effective educational environment for all students.8．How can adaptive systems help students with learning disabilities?A．By adjusting their learning methods.B．By analyzing their learning abilities.C．By satisfying their curiosity in learning.D．By offering personalized learning assistance. 9．What does the underlined word “dyslexia” in paragraph 3 refer to?A．A mental illness affecting human intelligence.B．A brain disease leading to lack of confidence in study.C．A language-related skill applied in the learning process.D．A learning disorder involving difficulty in reading and writing.10．What is the value of AI-powered social robots?A．Engaging students in learning activities.B．Narrowing the social distance betweenpeople.C．Assisting learners to overcome social isolation.D．Helping learners adopt effective reading strategies.11．What does the author say about AI in the last paragraph?A．It can’t provide understanding like human educators.B．It can’t create an inclusive learning environment.C．It can meet a wide range of learning needs.D．It can guarantee learners’ data security.In 1970s, a psychologist named J. P. Guilford conducted a famous study of creativity known as the nine-dot puzzle (九点谜题). He challenged research subjects to connect all nine dots using just four straight lines without lifting their pencils from the page. All the participants limited the possible solutions to those within the imaginary square. Only 20 percent managed to break out of the confinement (束缚) and continue their lines in the white space surrounding the dots.The fact that 80 percent of the participants were effectively blinded by the boundaries of the square led Guilford to jump to the sweeping conclusion that creativity requires you to go outside the box. The idea went viral. Overnight, it seemed that creativity experts everywhere were teaching managers how to think outside the box. The concept enjoyed such strong popularity that no one bothered to check the facts. No one, that is, before two different research teams-Clarke Burnham with Kenneth Davis, and Joseph Alba with Robert Weisberg-ran another experiment.Both teams followed the same way of dividing participants into two groups. The first group was given the same instructions as the participants in Guilford’s experiment. The second group was told that the solution required the lines to be drawn outside the imaginary box. Guess what? Only 25 percent solved the puzzle. In statistical terms, this 5 percent improvement is insignificant as this could be called sampling error.Let’s look a little more closely at the surprising result. Solving this problem requires people to literally think outside the box. Yet participants’ performance was not improved even when they were given specific instructions to do so. That is, direct and clear instructions to think outside the box did not help. That this advice is useless should effectively have killed off the much widely spread — and therefore, much more dangerous — metaphor (比喻) that out-of-the-box thinking boosts creativity.
