For its 2024 Global AI Student Survey, the Digital Education Group gathered 3,839 responses from undergraduate, graduate, PhD students across 16 countries. The students represented many fields of study.
On average surveyed students use 2.1 AI tools for their courses. ChatGPT remains the most common tool used, mentioned by 66% of respondents, followed by Grammarly and Microsoft Copilot (each 25%). Here are most common use cases:
Despite their wide use of AI tools, students were not confident about their AI knowledge, the survey found. Fifty-eight percent of students reported feeling that they do not have enough AI knowledge and skills, and 48% felt poorly prepared for AI-related work. Notably, 80% of surveyed students said their university’s adoption of AI tools does not fully meet their needs.
Students’ top AI needs included:
● Universities should provide training for both teachers and students on the effective use of AI tools (said by 73% of teachers and 72% of students);
●Universities should offer more courses on AI knowledge (72%);
●Universities should include students in choosing which AI tools to use (71%);
●Universities should increase the use of AI in teaching and learning (59%).
“With AI being used more widely, universities must now treat it as a basic part of education, not just a tool,” said Alessandro Di Lullo, head of the Digital Education Group and an AI expert at The University of Hong Kong. At the same time, he said, “universities need to consider how to effectively improve AI skills to equip both students and academics with the skills to succeed in an AI-driven world.”
21. What is the most common use of AI among students
A. Search for information. B. Check grammar.
C. Summarize documents. D. Create a first draft.
22. What worries most students when using AI tools

While many 22-year-olds are graduating from college and deciding what’s next for them, Robert Lennox-Hvenekilde has made what he calls “the biggest decision of my life so far” with an unusual buy — 7.5 acres of land in a Colombian jungle. The Copenhagen, Denmark, native made the big decision to invest about $40,000 in three hectares of jungle land, with a dream to build a self-sufficient and environmentally friendly home.
“I was actually traveling here when I was 19,” Lennox-Hvenekilde told Newsweek. “I had just turned 19 and was traveling with a friend. We realized that there were a lot of people living in these areas of the world who were maybe not rich in an economic sense, but they just seemed extremely free and to have an extremely high quality of life.”
Inspired by this way of living, Lennox-Hvenekilde spent years working full-time jobs in Denmark, determined to save enough money to turn his dream into reality. After months of searching, he found the perfect piece of land and bought it with help from local connections.
The land has a natural stream, providing fresh drinking water year-round. It also feeds his crops during dry seasons, a necessity for his fruit farm. He is currently living in a nearby village while he works on constructing a small house on his land. Beyond farming and creating a self-sufficient home, Lennox-Hvenekilde also hopes to be able to give back to parts of the land and attempt rebuilding habitats for the native monkey species.
As he builds his new life in the Colombian jungle, Lennox-Hvenekilde remains optimistic about the future. “I have so many plans and dreams and ideas — it’s kind of hard to just put it into words right now, especially since it’s all so new for me. But, right now, the plan is simple: plant a bunch of fruit trees, build the house, and take it one step at a time.”
24. Why did Robert decide to live in a Colombian jungle
A. Because he is poor in an economic sense.
B. Because his friend started a business there.
C. Because he admires a free and high-quality life.
D. Because he wanted to become rich by selling fruit.
25. How did Robert make his dream come true
A. He searched for a land for years. B. He worked for years in Denmark.
C. His local connections bought the land. D. His parents saved enough money for him.
26. What is Robert’s plan according to paragraph 4
A. To open a nature-friendly place for visitors.
B. To invite scientists to study the native monkeys.
C. To build a shelter and help local wildlife.
D. To sell fresh water from the stream to towns.
27. What is Robert’s attitude toward his new life in the jungle
A. Excited. B. Worried. C. Stubborn. D. Uncaring.
C
A few weeks ago, a popular tweet perfectly described a phenomenon familiar to many of us. The post — a response to someone’s question “What do you hate most about yourself ” — read simply: “I can be really mean when I’m overstimulated.” Judging by the retweets, it seems 55,000 people could relate. If you’ve ever yelled at your parent after a bad day, you may understand the meaning behind the tweet. We’re not exactly at our best in moments like these, but they’re part of the human response to being overstimulated.
“Our brain receives information from our senses — sight, touch, smell, sound and taste — so this helps us understand our environment,” said Manahil Riaz, a mental health expert in Texas. “To be overstimulated means that our senses have received a lot of information, and now we are feeling stressed as we’re receiving this information.”
“When you’re overstimulated, your prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮质) goes offline,” said Emma Shandy Anway, an expert in California. “This part of your brain helps you think clearly when making decisions,” she noted. “When we’re stressed out, the prefrontal cortex goes from careful and clear-thinking to quick-acting,” Anway said. “In these conditions, your brain’s not thinking about maintaining relationships or effectively solving problems,” Riaz noted. “Instead, it’s frightened.”
It’s normal to feel stressed at times. We’re all human, and being a human is hard. “Anytime our nervous system is out of balance, we have to find that way to teach our body that we’re not in danger,” Anway said. She recommends deep breathing through the nose, “When my breath slows down, my nervous system starts to slow down, and that will, in turn, slow my thoughts down.”
It’s also important to notice what you give your attention to when you’re feeling overstimulated. Practicing mindfulness skills in the moment — like, say, naming three things around you that are green — is a way to calm down when stressed. Besides, tiny routines like a phone-free morning can stop too much pressure before it starts.
28. What does the popular tweet mainly reveal
A. People hate being mean.
B. Pressure causes bad reactions.
C. Social media spreads anger.
D. Everyone dislikes themselves.
29. According to experts, “overstimulated” means the brain ______.
A. receives too much information
B. processes data too slowly
C. stops receiving any messages
D. makes reasonable decisions
30. What is Anway’s suggestion when we feel overstimulated
A. Slowing our body down.
B. Using the phone.
C. Taking a deep breath.
D. Ignoring the feeling.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Overstimulation: Process and Solutions
B. Overstimulation: Just ignore it and Move On
C. Overstimulation: Tiny Routines Can Help
D. Overstimulation: Name Things to deal with it
D
Are big cities overvalued New economic research suggests so. Judged by their preferences, people love cities. Huge cities such as London and New York are full, with high house prices. China, meanwhile, can claim at least six cities bigger than either of them. Across the world, 25% of people live in cities of over a million, up from just 15% six decades ago.
Economists tend to think this is a great development. Cities, they argue, benefit from ‘agglomeration’, the consequence of so many people living close by. For one thing, government and businesses can run more efficiently: size helps everything from public transport to the hiring of staff. For another, finding the next big idea is easier when like-minded people gather together.
But have economists overstated the benefits of big cities That is what a new study by Matthew Turner and David Weil, both of Brown University, suggests. Their analysis applies existing figures of the impact of agglomeration on economic efficiency and the rate of invention to a model of the American economy. This allows the researchers to answer a question: how different would America look if, from 1900 to 2010, no city area had grown to a population of more than 1 million people
According to their work, the answer is ‘not all that much’. Growth would have been slower, but only a bit: the researchers think that America’s total production would have been 8% lower in 2010 than it was in reality. Cities do make residents more efficient, but the size of the city does not matter too much.
City supporters may not fully agree with the researchers’ findings, which depend on some guesses. Edward Glaeser of Harvard notes that Turner and Weil believe creating new ideas gets harder over time, as the simplest solutions are used up. This means big cities benefit less than expected from gathering talented people. It’s unclear if this trend will keep happening in the future. AI supporters would surely argue that creating new ideas will probably speed up in the next few years.
32. What do the data in paragraph 1 show
A. City size has hardly changed.
B. Rural life has become popular.
C. Huge cities are disappearing fast.
D. More people move to big cities.
33. What are the benefits of “agglomeration” according to economists
A. Less traffic and lower costs.
B. Better services and new ideas.
C. Cheaper housing and cleaner air.
D. Better education and more friends.
34. What do Turner and Weil’s findings suggest
A. Big cities cut national income greatly.
B. Big cities double national total production.
C. Big cities hardly improve general growth.
D. Big cities widen the income gap hugely.
35. Why does the author mention Glaeser’s opinion
A. To advocate for further city development.
B. To restate Turner and Weil’s key arguments.
C. To praise the strength of the researchers’ data analysis.
D. To explain city supporters’ doubt on the research findings.
第二节(共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When I was a kid, my siblings (兄弟姐妹) and I were not allowed to say “I’m bored.” ___36___ I always assumed my parents made this rule to spare themselves from hearing us complain, but now I wonder if it had deeper historical roots.
___37___ For a long time, it has been viewed as an unpleasant, even wrong feeling. In ancient times, if someone showed the signs of boredom, they were wrong of “acedia,” a feeling of being apart that was seen as rude to the world and its creator. The growth of factories and time-saving devices only strengthened our wish to use time well. ___38___ Many parents try to keep their children from getting bored, either to stop complaints or because they think boredom wastes a chance to get ahead.
None of these attitudes toward boredom strike me as healthy or beneficial. We need to move past our fear of boredom and start to see it as an unavoidable, necessary, and even advantageous experience. ___39___ It is a very unpleasant (and short) state that often pushes us to try new ideas. When we take away children’s boredom by giving them instant and shallow activities, we greatly lower their chances of learning new and challenging things well.
___40___ Instead, we should trust that children will find ways to amuse themselves — and maybe even learn to accept boredom as a gift, a chance to think, to create, to discover. As we learn to sit with boredom, we may find that it is not our enemy but our helper, something we need for a life of meaning and invention.
A. Boredom, at its best, brings creativity.
B. As a culture, we have a bad relationship with boredom.
C. Today, we continue to view boredom with strong dislike.
D. Schools should add more creative classes to prevent boredom.
E. We should not fill every minute of our kids’ days with activities.
F. If we were, we were instantly given a task, so we learned to avoid it.
G. Modern technology has made boredom a rare experience for children.

Planting, Interrupted
We had recently moved into an apartment in New York, and I volunteered to tend the plant containers and window boxes in front of the building.
Back in our old house in New Orleans, I had a private garden — a place to sink my hands into soil, cut roses at dusk, and lose myself in the quiet routine of pruning (修剪). Here, on a busy New York sidewalk, I worried my gardening would be reduced to a performance for people hurrying by. The possibility of people bothering me as they walked by made me uneasy. For me, gardening had always been a private and quiet activity.
“At least you’ll get to play in the dirt again,” my husband said with a grin, and I decided he was right. Putting on my headphones to discourage possible interruptions from passers-by, I got down to business. Passersby kept their distance at first, but sometimes someone slowed to peer in, drawn by color or scent.
When the plants and flowers were finally in place, I stood back on the sidewalk, sweaty and dirty, to admire what I’d done: the splashes of bold color — goldilocks, marigolds, and roses — were indeed a comforting sight.
A young man stopped, studied my arrangements, and then looked at me as if he wanted to say something. Slightly annoyed, I took off my headphones. “That’s beautiful,” he finally said. “If you were in Brooklyn, you’d definitely win their flower box contest.”
I smiled. His kind words quickly changed my sour attitude. “Really ” I said. “Thank you!” That tiny exchange shifted the day. Later, an older man smiled as he looked at me and my floral creation. “I’d marry you if I wasn’t already married,” he said, giving me a wink. We both laughed.

M: I don’t, usually, but we learned that it’s OK to do that with fruit in today’s class.

M: Honestly. Of course, you shouldn’t drop it on the street. That’s messy and irresponsible. But in the woods, it can actually be helpful to nature.

W: Hmm… That makes sense, actually.

For its 2024 Global AI Student Survey, the Digital Education Group gathered 3,839 responses from undergraduate, graduate, PhD students across 16 countries. The students represented many fields of study.
On average surveyed students use 2.1 AI tools for their courses. ChatGPT remains the most common tool used, mentioned by 66% of respondents, followed by Grammarly and Microsoft Copilot (each 25%). Here are most common use cases:
Despite their wide use of AI tools, students were not confident about their AI knowledge, the survey found. Fifty-eight percent of students reported feeling that they do not have enough AI knowledge and skills, and 48% felt poorly prepared for AI-related work. Notably, 80% of surveyed students said their university’s adoption of AI tools does not fully meet their needs.
Students’ top AI needs included:
● Universities should provide training for both teachers and students on the effective use of AI tools (said by 73% of teachers and 72% of students);
●Universities should offer more courses on AI knowledge (72%);
●Universities should include students in choosing which AI tools to use (71%);
●Universities should increase the use of AI in teaching and learning (59%).
“With AI being used more widely, universities must now treat it as a basic part of education, not just a tool,” said Alessandro Di Lullo, head of the Digital Education Group and an AI expert at The University of Hong Kong. At the same time, he said, “universities need to consider how to effectively improve AI skills to equip both students and academics with the skills to succeed in an AI-driven world.”

While many 22-year-olds are graduating from college and deciding what’s next for them, Robert Lennox-Hvenekilde has made what he calls “the biggest decision of my life so far” with an unusual buy — 7.5 acres of land in a Colombian jungle. The Copenhagen, Denmark, native made the big decision to invest about $40,000 in three hectares of jungle land, with a dream to build a self-sufficient and environmentally friendly home.
“I was actually traveling here when I was 19,” Lennox-Hvenekilde told Newsweek. “I had just turned 19 and was traveling with a friend. We realized that there were a lot of people living in these areas of the world who were maybe not rich in an economic sense, but they just seemed extremely free and to have an extremely high quality of life.”
Inspired by this way of living, Lennox-Hvenekilde spent years working full-time jobs in Denmark, determined to save enough money to turn his dream into reality. After months of searching, he found the perfect piece of land and bought it with help from local connections.
The land has a natural stream, providing fresh drinking water year-round. It also feeds his crops during dry seasons, a necessity for his fruit farm. He is currently living in a nearby village while he works on constructing a small house on his land. Beyond farming and creating a self-sufficient home, Lennox-Hvenekilde also hopes to be able to give back to parts of the land and attempt rebuilding habitats for the native monkey species.
As he builds his new life in the Colombian jungle, Lennox-Hvenekilde remains optimistic about the future. “I have so many plans and dreams and ideas — it’s kind of hard to just put it into words right now, especially since it’s all so new for me. But, right now, the plan is simple: plant a bunch of fruit trees, build the house, and take it one step at a time.”
24. Why did Robert decide to live in a Colombian jungle
A. Because he is poor in an economic sense.
B. Because his friend started a business there.
C. Because he admires a free and high-quality life.
D. Because he wanted to become rich by selling fruit.
25. How did Robert make his dream come true
A. He searched for a land for years. B. He worked for years in Denmark.
C. His local connections bought the land. D. His parents saved enough money for him.
26. What is Robert’s plan according to paragraph 4
A. To open a nature-friendly place for visitors.
B. To invite scientists to study the native monkeys.
C. To build a shelter and help local wildlife.
D. To sell fresh water from the stream to towns.
27. What is Robert’s attitude toward his new life in the jungle
A. Excited. B. Worried. C. Stubborn. D. Uncaring.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. C 27. A

A few weeks ago, a popular tweet perfectly described a phenomenon familiar to many of us. The post — a response to someone’s question “What do you hate most about yourself ” — read simply: “I can be really mean when I’m overstimulated.” Judging by the retweets, it seems 55,000 people could relate. If you’ve ever yelled at your parent after a bad day, you may understand the meaning behind the tweet. We’re not exactly at our best in moments like these, but they’re part of the human response to being overstimulated.
“Our brain receives information from our senses — sight, touch, smell, sound and taste — so this helps us understand our environment,” said Manahil Riaz, a mental health expert in Texas. “To be overstimulated means that our senses have received a lot of information, and now we are feeling stressed as we’re receiving this information.”
“When you’re overstimulated, your prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮质) goes offline,” said Emma Shandy Anway, an expert in California. “This part of your brain helps you think clearly when making decisions,” she noted. “When we’re stressed out, the prefrontal cortex goes from careful and clear-thinking to quick-acting,” Anway said. “In these conditions, your brain’s not thinking about maintaining relationships or effectively solving problems,” Riaz noted. “Instead, it’s frightened.”
It’s normal to feel stressed at times. We’re all human, and being a human is hard. “Anytime our nervous system is out of balance, we have to find that way to teach our body that we’re not in danger,” Anway said. She recommends deep breathing through the nose, “When my breath slows down, my nervous system starts to slow down, and that will, in turn, slow my thoughts down.”
It’s also important to notice what you give your attention to when you’re feeling overstimulated. Practicing mindfulness skills in the moment — like, say, naming three things around you that are green — is a way to calm down when stressed. Besides, tiny routines like a phone-free morning can stop too much pressure before it starts.
28. What does the popular tweet mainly reveal
A. People hate being mean.
B. Pressure causes bad reactions.
C. Social media spreads anger.
D. Everyone dislikes themselves.
29. According to experts, “overstimulated” means the brain ______.
A. receives too much information
B. processes data too slowly
C. stops receiving any messages
D. makes reasonable decisions
30. What is Anway’s suggestion when we feel overstimulated
A. Slowing our body down.
B. Using the phone.
C. Taking a deep breath.
D. Ignoring the feeling.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Overstimulation: Process and Solutions
B. Overstimulation: Just ignore it and Move On
C. Overstimulation: Tiny Routines Can Help
D. Overstimulation: Name Things to deal with it
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. A
D
Are big cities overvalued New economic research suggests so. Judged by their preferences, people love cities. Huge cities such as London and New York are full, with high house prices. China, meanwhile, can claim at least six cities bigger than either of them. Across the world, 25% of people live in cities of over a million, up from just 15% six decades ago.
Economists tend to think this is a great development. Cities, they argue, benefit from ‘agglomeration’, the consequence of so many people living close by. For one thing, government and businesses can run more efficiently: size helps everything from public transport to the hiring of staff. For another, finding the next big idea is easier when like-minded people gather together.
But have economists overstated the benefits of big cities That is what a new study by Matthew Turner and David Weil, both of Brown University, suggests. Their analysis applies existing figures of the impact of agglomeration on economic efficiency and the rate of invention to a model of the American economy. This allows the researchers to answer a question: how different would America look if, from 1900 to 2010, no city area had grown to a population of more than 1 million people
According to their work, the answer is ‘not all that much’. Growth would have been slower, but only a bit: the researchers think that America’s total production would have been 8% lower in 2010 than it was in reality. Cities do make residents more efficient, but the size of the city does not matter too much.
City supporters may not fully agree with the researchers’ findings, which depend on some guesses. Edward Glaeser of Harvard notes that Turner and Weil believe creating new ideas gets harder over time, as the simplest solutions are used up. This means big cities benefit less than expected from gathering talented people. It’s unclear if this trend will keep happening in the future. AI supporters would surely argue that creating new ideas will probably speed up in the next few years.
32. What do the data in paragraph 1 show
A. City size has hardly changed.
B. Rural life has become popular.
C. Huge cities are disappearing fast.
D. More people move to big cities.
33. What are the benefits of “agglomeration” according to economists
A. Less traffic and lower costs.
B. Better services and new ideas.
C. Cheaper housing and cleaner air.
D. Better education and more friends.
34. What do Turner and Weil’s findings suggest
A. Big cities cut national income greatly.
B. Big cities double national total production.
C. Big cities hardly improve general growth.
D. Big cities widen the income gap hugely.
35. Why does the author mention Glaeser’s opinion
A. To advocate for further city development.
B. To restate Turner and Weil’s key arguments.
C. To praise the strength of the researchers’ data analysis.
D. To explain city supporters’ doubt on the research findings.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. D

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When I was a kid, my siblings (兄弟姐妹) and I were not allowed to say “I’m bored.” ___36___ I always assumed my parents made this rule to spare themselves from hearing us complain, but now I wonder if it had deeper historical roots.
___37___ For a long time, it has been viewed as an unpleasant, even wrong feeling. In ancient times, if someone showed the signs of boredom, they were wrong of “acedia,” a feeling of being apart that was seen as rude to the world and its creator. The growth of factories and time-saving devices only strengthened our wish to use time well. ___38___ Many parents try to keep their children from getting bored, either to stop complaints or because they think boredom wastes a chance to get ahead.
None of these attitudes toward boredom strike me as healthy or beneficial. We need to move past our fear of boredom and start to see it as an unavoidable, necessary, and even advantageous experience. ___39___ It is a very unpleasant (and short) state that often pushes us to try new ideas. When we take away children’s boredom by giving them instant and shallow activities, we greatly lower their chances of learning new and challenging things well.
___40___ Instead, we should trust that children will find ways to amuse themselves — and maybe even learn to accept boredom as a gift, a chance to think, to create, to discover. As we learn to sit with boredom, we may find that it is not our enemy but our helper, something we need for a life of meaning and invention.
A. Boredom, at its best, brings creativity.
B. As a culture, we have a bad relationship with boredom.
C. Today, we continue to view boredom with strong dislike.
D. Schools should add more creative classes to prevent boredom.
E. We should not fill every minute of our kids’ days with activities.
F. If we were, we were instantly given a task, so we learned to avoid it.
G. Modern technology has made boredom a rare experience for children.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
As we know, phubbers, people who can’t resist the temptation of mobile phones, are seen nearly everywhere. Sending messages and surfing the Internet cause the formation of this disturbing habit.
Firstly, phubbers waste lots of time playing cell phone games and sending messages, particularly in class. In addition, health problems like back and neck pain and poor eyesight may arise if we bury ourselves in a mobile phone for a long time.
As far as I am concerned, it is high time that we threw away the mobile phones and raised our heads up. That’s all.

Planting, Interrupted
We had recently moved into an apartment in New York, and I volunteered to tend the plant containers and window boxes in front of the building.
Back in our old house in New Orleans, I had a private garden — a place to sink my hands into soil, cut roses at dusk, and lose myself in the quiet routine of pruning (修剪). Here, on a busy New York sidewalk, I worried my gardening would be reduced to a performance for people hurrying by. The possibility of people bothering me as they walked by made me uneasy. For me, gardening had always been a private and quiet activity.
“At least you’ll get to play in the dirt again,” my husband said with a grin, and I decided he was right. Putting on my headphones to discourage possible interruptions from passers-by, I got down to business. Passersby kept their distance at first, but sometimes someone slowed to peer in, drawn by color or scent.
When the plants and flowers were finally in place, I stood back on the sidewalk, sweaty and dirty, to admire what I’d done: the splashes of bold color — goldilocks, marigolds, and roses — were indeed a comforting sight.
A young man stopped, studied my arrangements, and then looked at me as if he wanted to say something. Slightly annoyed, I took off my headphones. “That’s beautiful,” he finally said. “If you were in Brooklyn, you’d definitely win their flower box contest.”
I smiled. His kind words quickly changed my sour attitude. “Really ” I said. “Thank you!” That tiny exchange shifted the day. Later, an older man smiled as he looked at me and my floral creation. “I’d marry you if I wasn’t already married,” he said, giving me a wink. We both laughed.

【答案】范文
A week later, while I watered the boxes, a woman cried out with genuine delight. “I started walking down this street just to see your flowers. They always make my day” Her voice brimmed with sincerity, and her eyes sparkled as they swept over each vibrant bloom. I took off my headphones and nodded a simple, grateful “Thank you.” She paused, then leaned toward a single perfect rose— deep crimson, velvety and full, catching the sun just like the ones I used to cut at dusk in New Orleans. She inhaled its rich perfume, and for a suspended second, the city’s clamor receded behind her quiet awe.
Seeing her response, I put down my watering can and cut that rose with my careful scissors. Holding it out, I said, “For you. Thank you for coming to see them… and for loving this one.” She cradled the bloom as if it were sacred. “Oh” she breathed, “I’ll treasure this.” As I waved goodbye to her, a sudden weight on my neck reminded me — my headphones were still looped there, forgotten, heavy, almost comic. They had been my shield, a thin wall between me and the city. But now, I realized I no longer needed them. My flowers became bridges, and the “interruptions” turned into invitations to connect. For the first time since we moved, I welcomed being seen.
