Lecture on AI receiving favorable comments
On November 8th, an inspiring lecture on AI and humanity was organized in the school hall, mainly targeted at students in Grade 11.
The lecture started with general accounts of AI, in which its development and practical applications were briefly introduced. What followed was the convenience and potential threats brought to human civilization. As claimed, though benefiting humans enormously, AI might replace humans if not managed appropriately. Finally, a promising prospect of humans living in harmony with AI was forecast.
Undoubtedly, the lecture was both educational and appealing, giving warnings and inspiring the students to adopt objective attitudes to AI.

【答案】One possible version:
I looked down to see a little girl with brown eyes looking up at me. Her angelic face lighted, although there were some scars on her little arms. “Hi. I’m Ashley. Do you want to play dolls with me ” she asked. I looked over and saw Mom nodding to me with a smile. I bent toward Ashley and whispered, “Sure. I’d love to.” Her tiny hand reached up and took mine, and we walked toward the doll house. Our time together brought her great joy and fun and she also made my day.
I returned to the shelter with Mom several times. During those visits, some of the children including Ashley shared their troubled pasts with me in great detail. I felt sorry for what had happened to them and treasured the friendship between us. I would like to do everything in my power to help the children there. At the same time, I learned to be grateful for all that I had. It was a meaningful time in my young life that I will never forget. It was Mom who taught me the valuable lesson that summer.

【解析】
【原文】M: Carla, the first thing you did was change the way you worked. Why
W: I used to have a busy job. It was interesting, so I never got stressed or needed time off like some of my colleagues, who became ill. I traveled all over the world. Then, suddenly I realized I was living in hotels and I thought “You know what I’d like to spend more time in my own house”.
M: And now you run your own business.
W: Yes, and I choose which hours I work. I can stop when I want to. And I still go on holidays often—but that’s my choice instead of my company’s. Some people who leave big companies miss the big salaries, but that doesn’t bother me.
M: Do you do more exercise now
W: I spend about the same amount of time exercising as I did before. However, instead of doing it between work and dinner, I get up at 5 am and exercise then. I’m into yoga, because it relaxes my body and mind. I’ve never really enjoyed team sports or athletics.
M: You’re still a busy person. Do you have any time-saving advice
W: Many people think checking emails or messages on the bus to work or school and making a list of things to do can save time. But the thing that works well for me is having lots of clothes which are similar, so you don’t have to think about what to put on in the morning!

【原文】M: In a forest in Minnesota, a fire starts and quickly spreads. At the Minnesota Fire Center, Mary Locke takes the call and then the other fire rangers go into action. The helicopter crew sends information about the fire back to the Fire Center. And then it’s the turn of the crew of the CL2-15 to take off. The CL2-15 is no ordinary plane. It is a fire-fighting plane. The pilots have to be very experienced. They are going to pick up water from this lake. It can be a dangerous job. The CL2-15 is flying at 140 kilometers per hour now. The pilot must be very careful. If he makes a mistake, the plane will crash. It’s time to open the water tanks on the plane. The plane picks up water from the lake. This is the most dangerous time for the crew. But the pilot does his job and picks up more than 5,000 liters of water. Then it’s time to put out the fire. The pilot has to fly low over the trees to hit the fire. He also needs to wet the ground in front of the fire so it can’t spread. The water drops on the fire. It’s a good hit. But the fire is a big one—the fire rangers have to go back to the lake. In just two minutes, the plane is ready again. The crew has to drop water 20 times to put out the fire. At last, it’s time for the fire rangers to go home, until the next time.2025—2026学年度第一学期赣州市十三校期中联考

A smile is often considered a universal sign of happiness, but science reveals its effects are far more profound. Research conducted by psychologists suggests that the simple act of smiling can actively influence our emotions and physiology.
This phenomenon is linked to the "facial feedback hypothesis." What this theory proposes is that our facial expressions can send feedback to our brain, affecting our emotional state. Forcing a smile during a stressful situation, even if you don't feel like it, can lead to a lower heart rate and reduce the intensity of stress. It is as though the brain interprets the muscle movements of a smile as happiness, leading to a genuine improvement in mood.
The benefits extend beyond stress reduction. Smiling is seen as a friendly and approachable signal in social interactions. It can break down barriers, apologise without words, and make difficult conversations easier. Experts, who have studied this for years, recommend smiling at yourself in the mirror to start the day on a positive note.
Understanding the science behind a smile provides us with a powerful, readily available tool. It's not about denying negative emotions but about using our body's own mechanisms to cultivate resilience. Whether it's a slight curve of the lips or a broad grin, the message is clear: the simple act of smiling holds the potential to change not only how others perceive us but also how we experience the world ourselves. It is indeed a small gesture with a significant impact.
24．What can be inferred if someone forces a smile during a brief stressful task
A. Their heart rate will likely rise significantly.
B. Their muscle fatigue will immediately disappear.
C. Their emotional state will remain completely unchanged.
D. Their perceived stress intensity may decrease.
25．Which social function of smiling is mentioned in the passage
A. Replacing spoken apologies.
B. Increasing personal attractiveness instantly.
C. Resolving all interpersonal conflicts.
D. Guaranteeing successful negotiations.
26．What specific recommendation do experts give to start the day positively
A. Avoid looking in the mirror.
B. Smile at oneself in the mirror.
C. Perform 30 minutes of cardio exercise.
D. Write down three negative thoughts.
27．How does the author view the act of smiling
A. As a meaningless social habit.
B. As only effective when it is genuine.
C. As a readily available self-help mechanism.
D. As a replacement for medical treatment.
C
How’s this for a coincidence (巧合) Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln were born in the same year, on the same day: Feb. 12, 1809. Although people hardly think of them together, yet we want to say that they belong together. It’s not just because they were both great men, and not because they happen to live at the same time. Rather, it’s because the scientist and the politician each started a revolution that changed the world.
They were both revolutionaries in the sense that both men changed the realities when they were born. They seem and sound modern to us, because the world they left behind them is more or less the one we still live in. So, considering the joint greatness of their contributions and the coincidence of their birthdays ---- it is hard to wonder: who was the greatest man It’s an apples and oranges--- or Superman vs. Santa---comparison. But if you limit the question to influence, very quickly the balance tips in Lincoln’s favor.
As great as his book on evolution is, it does no harm to remember that Darwin hurried to publish The Origin of Species because he thought he was about to be scooped (抢先) by his fellow naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace. Lincoln, however, is unique. True, his election as the president did cause the recession (衰退) and the war, but that war seems certain to happen---not a question of if but when. Certainly we know what happened after he was murdered: Reconstruction was organized and then abandoned, leaving the issue of racial (种族的) equality unsolved for another century.
Surely we should not deny Darwin’s accomplishment. But their same birthdays gave us a great opportunity to observe these men of their time.
28. Why does the author say Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln belong together
A. They were born on the same day.
B. They lived in the same period of time.
C. They started revolutions changing the world.
D. They were both great men in the history.
29. What does the author mean by “an apples and oranges--- or Superman vs. Santa ---comparison”
A. It is hard to tell which one is greater as they are both outstanding.
B. The comparison between Darwin and Lincoln is easy and obvious.
C. It is difficult to compare them as they are as famous as Superman and Santa.
D. There is no point comparing them because they were born on the same day.
30. Lincoln’s contribution to the world can be best described as__________
A. narrow. B. aggressive.
C. independent. D. ground-breaking.
31. What can we learn from the passage
A. Lincoln’s success in election caused reconstruction.
B. Lincoln had tried to solve the racial problem.
C. Darwin was unique compared with Lincoln.
D. Darwin’s theory is similar to Lincoln’s belief.
D
Media literacy (素养) is finally getting some late-arriving attention. Whether it’s the increasing awareness of political disinformation or the threat of AI, discussions about media literacy are on the rise. The adoption of media literacy in the classroom, however, stagnates.
The driving force for providing kids with media literacy skills often gets lost in the moral panic over technology and kids. Fear has overrun reason, and people can’t decide whether to blame social media, mobile devices, tech companies, or the Internet. They are concerned with claims that technology and social media are the causes of teenage mental health issues despite the weak associations. In response, too many solutions are “ostrich policies (鸵鸟政策) ” that want to ban devices and shut down social media but don’t address more fundamental issues.
Policies that set age limits on social media access and restrict devices during school to minimize disturbance can be helpful but are incomplete solutions. Social media didn’t invent bullies (霸凌) or the enormous effect of peer pressure. Social media platforms may be a new battleground, but they are not the source. Unfortunately, many current policies ignore the need to teach kids how to manage these challenges. There is frighteningly little attention paid to preparing kids to make good decisions when they will, unavoidably, get online.
On the bright side, the rapid development of AI and increasing attention to the amount of misinformation online have helped normalize the acceptance of media literacy as a core skill. While suggestions to limit inappropriate device use, increase face-to-face socialization, and engage in outdoor play arc beneficial, they do not build the core skills that will keep kids safe offline and are fundamental to well-being and life success: good citizenship, self-awareness and self-control. Those things take teaching, whether you are online or outside.
Media literacy is an essential life skill that, once learned, can be applied to any content. While waiting for public education to catch up, parents and educators can build media literacy skills at home with numerous resources, ranging from family technology contracts and discussion guides to easy activities that can be done at home with kids.
32. What does the underlined word “stagnates” in the first paragraph probably mean
A. Gets far ahead. B. Falls apart suddenly.
C. Falls well short. D. Gets started officially.
33. What causes people’s moral panic over technology and kids
A. Belief in the rapid growth of new technologies
B. Concern over cutting kids off from the Internet
C. Inability to balance the use of social media and health.
D. Fear of technology causing mental health issues in teenagers.
34. What does paragraph 3 of the text focus on
A. The sources of peer pressure. B. The benefits of minimizing disturbance.
C. The problems of current policies. D. The disadvantages of social media platforms
35. Which of the following belongs to media literacy
A. Reducing social media exposure. B. Applying critical thinking to media.
C. Increasing face-to-face interactions. D. Recognizing the dangers of social media

How to Stop Being a People Pleaser
As a recovering people pleaser, I spent much of my life keeping others happy. Breaking this habit meant stepping on a few toes. However, I’ve become a happier person as a result. Here are some tips I used to stop being a people pleaser.
Identify your priorities. Take a moment to think about why you are trying to learn how to stop being a people pleaser. Who are the people that you feel the need to please ____16____ Answering these questions will help you set a goal that you can hold yourself accountable to.
Just say “no”. One reason why people pleasers say “yes” to everything is that they fear disappointing others. ____17____ If you are a people pleaser, you are likely to spend lots of energy trying to control how people feel about you. The best thing you can do is let them feel their feelings. It will feel liberating to free yourself from being responsible for someone else's reaction.

C. Why do you feel the need to keep them happy

67. 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。
Growing up, I wanted to be just like my mom. She was kind and caring, and always made people comfortable in her presence. For years she was a volunteer in our community. I love going to the local nursing home to help with her when I was a child. However, once I became a teenager, I was too caught up in my adolescent world to worry about helping others.
One particular summer day when I was 12, Mom came into my room and told me to get up and meet her at the car. But I had planned to spend the day at the lake with friends. Why did she have to ruin everything At last, I made my way outside with my mother. Angry and annoyed, I climbed into the car and shoot the door loudly. I sat in silence, too upset to talk. “Tasha, do you know where we are going ” Mom asked calmly. I remained silent. “Sweetheart, we’re going to the children’s shelter. I have been there before and I think it would benefit you,” she explained.
I feel a pain slowly form in my stomach. How was I supposed to help there
When we reached the shelter, I was rather surprised. As we approached the front door, wind bells played a calming tune while trees and flowers welcomed us. Maybe this wasn’t going to be so.
Mom rang the doorbell. We were led to the front room, where all of the children were playing. Toys were spread out across the floor. I noticed a baby whose body was seriously wounded. Most of the children had noticeable physical scars such as cuts, burns and scratches. What a terrible life they must had had before they moved here! My heart sank. As I was looking around, I felt a gentle pull on my shirt.
