Many students today learn programming（编程）. However, some students are still not sure whether they should choose to learn programming or not. Then, what do students and teachers think
I studied C++ for several years when I was in primary school and stopped later because I found it too hard. It takes high math skills. Now I have changed to learn Mathematical Olympiad （具数） problems. I find that what I've learned in programming can help me with it. It also helps me with learning math at school. But programming is not for everyone. If you find it too hard at some point, there is no need to push yourself.- Qiu WenjunI have been teaching programming for three years in high school. Many parents are worried about how much time it will take up and whether it's going to help students with the gaokao or not. I'm always honest with them: Using it to help in the gaokao is quite hard unless the student is talented and has been trained before. However, learning as a hobby also works as it trains you to have a scientific way of thinking.- Gao Dadong

C. He didn't like it anymore. D. His parents stopped him.

In 2003, China sent its first astronaut, Yang Liwei, into space. Since then, many Chinese astronauts also "reached for the stars". Zhai Zhigang, Cai Xuzhe, Song Lingdong, and Wang Haoze are some of them. The last three carried out the tasks（执行任务）of Shenzhou-19 in space. Do you dream of becoming an astronaut like them
To be an astronaut, you need to be very healthy. Good eyesight and a strong heart are important. You'd better not have any small problems. For example, a decayed tooth（龋齿）could get worse in space and bring problems to astronauts. In China, you must be a great pilot before you can be an astronaut. You must fly more than 600 hours without accidents. And then you might start hard training after becoming a backup astronaut. For example, you have to wear a 200 kg suit and do tasks underwater for six or seven hours without eating or going to the toilet. This is like doing tasks in spacewalks.
Education is important as well. Astronauts take about 60 courses to get ready for a task, such as math, English, science, and many more. So they can also do scientific experiments（实验）in space.
However, it's possible that backup astron nuts can never go to space. During the Shenzhou-18 task, only three astronauts could go into space. But there are other backup astronauts. They are also heroes of this great space program.
（　　）14. What might happen if astronauts have a decayed tooth in space
A. They might have heart problems. B. They will have bad eyesight.
C. Their tooth decay might become worse. D. They might have a headache.
（　　）15. Who may be called a "backup astronaut"
A. Jenny-She can do the same tasks as other astronauts but never takes a task in space before.
B. John- He has carried out two tasks in space in the past three years.
C. Tom-He is in good health and good at science, math, and English.
D. Linda-She can fly more than 600 days without accidents.
（　　）16. What training should an astronaut take
A. Flying an airplane for about 600 days.
B. Wearing special clothes and doing tasks underwater.
C. Practicing spacewalks for six or seven hours every day.
D. Learning math, French and science.
（　　）17. Where can we probably find the passage
A. In a diary. B. In a magazine. C. In a storybook. D. In a guidebook.
C
① AI tools are becoming very popular for learning languages and doing translation work.
② Some teachers, students, and translators think these AI tools are very useful. Wang Huashu, a teacher at Beijing Foreign Studies University, says AI is changing the way teachers teach and students learn languages, even the way translators work.
③ Teachers can use AI to create real talks for students to practice. Teachers first prepare some topics and then teach students some important sentences. After that, students can practice what they have learned with the AI tools in real-life situations（情景）. After talking, AI tools will give quick feedback（反馈）on students' speaking. At last, AI can help to find good reading and listening materials.
④ AI also brings a new way to test language skills. In the past, we often used paper tests or talked to someone face to face. But now, because of AI, we can use online tests to see how good someone is at speaking, listening, reading, and writing.
⑤ One example is a famous online English test. With it, you can test your English on your own computer or phone. You get your results right away, and it tells you what you did well and what you need to improve.
⑥ What's more, A I tools can translate different languages very quickly, saving people a lot of time. This is very helpful in today's world. Whether for work, school, or other reasons, AI tools can help people talk to each other in different languages easily.
⑦ As AI is used more and more, some translators worry these AI tools will take place of their jobs. However, Wang Huashu says they don't need to be too afraid, because translation is not just about changing words from one language to another. It's also about sharing culture and creating new understanding. Wang also says AI tools can't do the creative and caring work that human translators can.

请认真阅读下面短文,用英语回答短文后的问题。
A group of comics called "Tiny Eyes" go popular on the Internet. With these comics, Chinese artist Cao Siyu shares the differences between Chinese culture and Western culture.
Cao Siyu comes from Beijing. She spent the last 10 years in France, the UK and the USA. "Many foreign people that I met were interested in China," she explained. "But most of their ideas about China are out of date. I hope I can change the image of China in foreigners' mind."That is why Cao Siyu put her idea of "Tiny Eyes" comics into practice.
By bringing words and images together, the Chinese artist tells stories in a simple yet powerful way. She shares Chinese people's daily life and compares how differently people act in the same situation.
In one comic, for example, she compared French cutlery（餐具） with Chinese one: While French people use eight different forks and knives for a meal, Chinese people can make it with only a pair of chopsticks. And in another comic, Cao Siyu made it clear how people from different cultures express love. She wrote below the comic, "Chinese people are not used to saying ‘I love you, Mum’. Instead, they show their love in actions."
Cao Siyu provides a new way for foreigners to know her motherland, and her works have gathered about 20 thousand fans on the Internet. "People from one culture may not be able to fully understand another. But we can listen to each other," she said.
