考点一：单词或短语意义猜测
上下文猜词义。猜测任何词义都离不开上下文，所以要借助上下文对需要猜测的词或短语进行合乎逻辑的
推测。可利用下列方法：
(1)根据定义或上下文解释进行猜测。有时短文中出现一个需要猜测其意义的词或短语，下面接着出现
其定义或解释，这就是判断该词或短语意义的主要依据。
(2)根据同位关系进行猜测。阅读中出现的难词有时下文紧跟一个同位语，对上文的词进行解释，这时
可利用同位关系对上文或下文的词义或短语意义进行猜测。
(3)根据构词法进行猜测。在英语中，有很多词可以加前缀或后缀构成一个新词，如果掌握了一定的构
词知识，就不难猜出它的词义。
(4)根据因果关系进行猜测。在一篇阅读文章中，根据原因可以预测结果，根据结果也可以找出原因。
(5)根据转折或对比关系进行猜测。根据上下句的连接词，如 but ，however ，otherwise 等可知上下句存
在转折关系，从而依据某一句的含义，来确定另一句的含义。
（6）根据举例推测词义。有时，划线部分后会根由一些具体的例子，这些例子可以帮助考试理解该词
的词义。线索词 such as, such...as, for example, for instance, like , including, especially 等。
考点二：猜测代替词所替代的内容
就近原则找指代。猜测代替词的指代内容， 要求判断代词(it, one, they, this, that, these, those, which 等)或助动 词(do,does, did 等)具体替代什么。可按以下三步进行：返回原文，找到指代词→ 向上(有时向下)搜索，找 最近的名词、代词，短语或句子→将找到的词、词组或句子代入替代该指代词，看意思和逻辑关系是否通
顺，从而确定最佳选项。
考点三：句意猜测题
意义吻合推句意。句意猜测要求通过阅读文章，用合适的语句对其进行解释性的描述。具体技巧如下：
(1)返回原文，找到该句，对原句进行语法和逻辑关系分析。对于需要猜测句意的情形，首先要理解句子的
前后特定语境，然后根据语境对此句在文中的意思进行有依据的推理，最后再进行归纳总结，得出答案。
(2)一般来说，正确选项的意思和原句的意思完全相同，只不过是用其他的词汇或句式来转换表达而已。

（2023·年新高考 II 卷 C 篇）Reading Art: Art for Book Lovers is a celebration of an everyday object — the book, represented here in almost three hundred artworks from museums around the world. The image of the reader appears throughout history, in art made long before books as we now know them came into being. In artists’
representations of books and reading, we see moments of shared humanity that go beyond culture and time.
In this “book of books,” artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures. We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school, with the book as a focus for relations between the generations. Adults are portrayed ( 描绘) alone in many settings and poses —absorbed in a volume, deep in thought or lost in a moment of leisure. These scenes may have been painted
hundreds of years ago, but they record moments we can all relate to.
3 ．What do the underlined words “relate to” in paragraph 2 mean
A ．Understand. B ．Paint.
C ．Seize. D ．Transform.

1.（2023·山东 · 德州市第一中学校联考模拟预测） While many animal populations seem to dwindle, one
species that is moving in the opposite direction of such loss is America’s native wildlife — wood stork.
The wood stork is the only stork that breeds in North America. In 1984, it was declared an endangered species after its population decreased sharply to just 5,000 mating pairs. At the time, scientists predicted that the bird would become completely extinct by 2000. Today, it numbers 10,000 mating pairs, and the Fish and Wildlife Service is
proposing a delisting of the wood stork as an endangered species. So how did the population bounce back
The success is in part down to the resourcefulness of the wood stork. The wood stork’s native home was in the Everglades in Florida, but it migrated north as the Everglades were being destroyed by development of mankind. Wetland preservation and restoration, protection of nesting areas, and management of water flows began with the approval of the wood stork’s first recovery plan in 1986. In the following year, former Savannah Coastal Refuges
biologist John Robinette noticed stork nests in Georgia as stork populations moved to safer wetlands.
According to Stephanie Kurose, a senior policy specialist at the Centre for Biological Diversity, the Endangered Species Act is also to thank for this recovery. She said, “The act saved the wood stork and it helped preserve and rebuild vital habitats throughout the southeast, which has improved water quality and benefited
countless other species who call the area home.” “The Endangered Species Act has saved 99 per cent of the species
that were on the list since 1973. A hundred types of plants and animals have been delisted as their populations
become stable again.
If the wood stork is delisted, it will remain protected by other laws and a monitoring plan will be put in place
to ensure the population remains stable.
1 ．What does the underlined word dwindle probably mean
A ．Boost. B ．Change. C ．Decline. D ．Explode.
2 ．What can we learn about the wood stork in paragraph two
A ．Its population shows a rising trend. B ．It has become completely extinct.
C ．It is widely distributed worldwide. D ．It is the most endangered species.
3 ．What threatened the population of the wood stock
A ．Climate change of Earth. B ．Popularity of water sports.
C ．Impact of human activities. D ．Arrival of other wild animals.
4 ．What is a direct result of the Endangered Species Act
A ．People have safer water to drink. B ．A list of species have been saved.
C ．The local economy has boomed. D ．The wood stock has flown away.
2.（2023·广东东莞 · 东莞实验中学校考一模）Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT), created by openAI, an AI and research company, is a natural language processing tool driven by AI technology that allows you to have human-like conversations and much more with a chatbot. The language model can answer questions,
and assist you with tasks such as composing emails, essays and code.
ChatGPT is powered by a large language model, or LLM, meaning it’s programmed to understand human language and generate responses based on a large amount of data. What makes ChatGPT so impressive is its ability
to log context from user’s earlier messages in a thread and use it to form responses later in the conversation.
According to analysis by Swiss bank UBS, ChatGPT is the fastest growing up app of all time. In January, only two months after its launch, UBS analysis estimates that ChatGPT had 100 million active users. For comparison, it
took nine months for TikTok to reach 100 million.
Despite looking very impressive, ChatGPT still has limitations. Instead of asking for clarification on ambiguous questions, the model just takes a guess at what your question means. “The primary problem is that the answers that ChatGPT produces have a high rate of being incorrect,” says Stack Overflow moderators in a post. Critics argue that these tools are just very good at putting words into an order that makes sense from a statistical pint of view, but they cannot understand the meaning or know whether the statements it makes are correct. Another
major limitation is that ChatGPT’s data is limited to 2021.
ChatGPT is an advanced chatbot that has the potential to make people’s lives easier and to assist with everyday tiring tasks, such as writing an email or having to navigate the web for answers. However, there are certain technical details that have to be figured out before it’s widely used, to prevent negative outcomes such as the spread of misinformation. In general, this AI model relies on lots of training and fine-tuning to reach a level of
ideal performance.
5 ．What can we learn about ChatGPT from the first paragraph
A ．What its potential market is. B ．It is developed jointly by two companies.
C ．Why it enjoys great popularity. D ．It is a conversational AI tool.
6 ．What does the underlined word “it” refer to
A ．Context. B ．ChatGPT’s ability. C ．A thread. D ．LLM.
7 ．What is a limitation of ChatGPT
A ．Low efficiency. B ．Disordered words.
C ．Poor accuracy. D ．Frequent crashes.
8 ．What is the author’s attitude to ChatGPT
A ．Unclear. B ．Objective. C ．Doubtful. D ．Satisfied.
3.（2023·广东广州 · 统考二模） The best ideas are often so smart, so simple and so clearly needed; it’s strange to discover they don’t already exist. So it is with Farm My School, a program that’s turning underused land at secondary schools into commercially achievable, regenerative market gardens farmed by and for local
communities.
Co-founded by permaculturist Ben Shaw and regenerative educator James McLennan, Farm My School connects local people and organizations through volunteering that helps establish a school’s market garden. Students learn about community networks, healthy eating, ecological responsibility, waste reduction and climate relief while helping with food production. Schools integrate all these into their courses while producing vegetable
boxes every week that feed local families, supply the school’s food needs and ultimately pay the farmer’s salary.
Farm My School has gained the extraordinary enthusiasm of the locals, who answered an online shout-out to buy tickets to the program’s launch event at Bell Secondary School last October. Called Build A Farm in a Day Festival, the event featured workshops by Ben and James to share the skills required to build what they say is the world’s largest no-dig garden. “It was such a powerful event, and I think that comes down to people wanting to act now,” says James. “We charged for the experience and 600 guys turned up! They didn’t even need free drinks to
get excited. We were gardening till midnight. It was amazing. We’ve got true community buy-in.”
Volunteers have since begun beneficial planting throughout the school. Next steps include further discussions with local communities, employing a farmer, and bringing in a teacher to develop courses. “We’ve seen this huge push towards seeing schools as regenerative spaces, not just for planting but for kids to be more connected to the outside world, and really seeing the school in a whole new light,” James says. “For us, the big excitement is that by allowing a professional farmer to take the responsibility of growing food, it’s not only on the school to look after
that farm anymore, which eventually makes it much more sustainable,” adds Ben.
9 ．Why was Farm My School founded
A ．To raise the income of the local people.
B ．To advocate a commercial farming plan.
C ．To provide free food for local communities.
D ．To turn underused campus land into market gardens.
10 ．How do schools involve students into the program
A ．By developing program-based courses.
B ．By organizing voluntary work in communities.
C ．By offering them part-time jobs in the market gardens.
D ．By encouraging them to produce daily vegetable boxes.
11 ．What does the underlined word “buy-in” mean in paragraph 3
A ．Competition.
B ．Investment.
C ．Support.
D ．Protection.
12 ．What is the highlight of the program according to Ben
A ．It brings in money to support the school.
B ．The school farm will be able to last long.
C ．The local people will take care of the farm.
D ．Students connect more with the outside world.
4.（2023·湖南郴州 · 校联考模拟预测）When the Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) began last Friday, Steve and Janet Kistler of Hart County, Kentucky, joined in. They’ve done so every year since the now-global
tradition began 25 years ago.
For Moira Dalibor, who teaches math at a school, this was the first count. She led a group of students and parents to an arboretum ( 植物园) for an exercise in data-gathering. They were among hundreds of thousands of people around the world counting and recording over four days. Last year, about 385,000 people from 192
countries took part in the GBBC .
This global data goes into the eBird database used by scientists for research on bird populations, which have declined sharply overall in past decades. It’s part of a rise in “citizen science” projects in which volunteers collect
data about the natural world for use by researchers.
Many bird-watchers use eBird year-round, and it has collected huge amounts of data — often between 1 million and 2 million bird checklists a month from around the world in the past couple of years, says Becca Rodomsky-Bish, the project’s leader at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, in Ithaca, New York. “Observing birds is a good way to connect with the natural world. Birds are everywhere. You don’t have to leave your house. They will
come. And they’re charismatic because they’re fun and interesting to watch.”
This is how it works: Participants watch birds, whether that means looking out of the window for 15 minutes or taking a longer trip to a nature area. Organizers recommend the Merlin bird ID app to distinguish birds by size, shape, song or other characteristics. Many participants also carry field guides and binoculars (双筒望远镜) along with their phones. They then enter the findings into the eBird app. Those numbers help researchers track the ups
and downs of various species, which then help determine the direction of conservation efforts.
Dalibor prepared her classes with information about local species and practiced with the Merlin app. The kids
recorded bird sightings with pencils and drawing boards, and parent volunteers entered those numbers on phones.
13 ．Why did Dalibor lead her students to an arboretum
A ．To do exercise for health. B ．To observe different plants.
C ．To practice their math skills. D ．To collect information about birds.
14 ．What does the underlined word “charismatic” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A ．Attractive. B ．Beautiful. C ．Rare. D ．Shy.
15 ．What can people use the Merlin bird ID app to do
A ．To record their findings. B ．To identify different birds.
C ．To help determine the birds’ habitat. D ．To track the ups and downs of various species.
16 ．What’s the best title of the text
A ．Great Backyard Bird Count: a strange activity
B ．Watching birds contributes to students’ education
C ．Moira Dalibor: a pioneer and responsible teacher
D ．Great Backyard Bird Count shows power of citizen science
5.（2023·广东江门 · 新会陈经纶中学校考三模）Salvador Dali (1904-1989) was one of the most popular of modern artists. The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks-on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly The Persistence of Memory. There is also L’Enigme sans Fin from 1938, works on paper, objects, and projects for stage and screen
and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artist’s showman qualities.
The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the world of birth. The
exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.
The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities (无限).“From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus:amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy
Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras,”explains the Pompidou Centre.
The fine selection of the major works was done in close cooperation with the Museo National Reina Sofia in
Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg.
17 ．Which of the following best describe Dali according to Paragraph 1
A ．Optimistic. B ．Productive C ．Generous. D ．Traditional.
18 ．What is Dali’s The Persistence of Memory considered to be
A ．One of his masterworks. B ．A successful. screen adaptation.
C ．An artistic creation for the stage. D ．One of the best TV programmes.
19 ．How are the exhibits arranged at the World of Dali

C ．By size and shape. D ．By time and subject.
20 ．What does the word “contributions” in the last paragraph refer to
A ．Creations. B ．Projects. C ．Donations. D ．Documents.
6. （2023·广东广州 · 广州市协和 中学校考一模 ）What might be the global impact of extreme losses of the Amazon rainforest — the world’s largest rainforest A new study has found that rapid deforestation of the Amazon
rainforest could influence the temperature and rainfall over as far away as the Tibetan plateau and Antarctica.
Saini Yang at Beijing Normal University in China and her colleagues analysed global climatological data from 1979 to 2019 to identify correlations in temperature and rainfall between the Amazon rainforest and other areas. Such links are called “teleconnections(遥相关)” .
They focused on the Amazon rainforest in particular because of its significance as a major carbon sink and as a climatic “tipping point( 临 界 点)” that could see forests turn to tropical grasslands beyond a certain limit of
warming and human-driven deforestation.
The researchers found that since 1979, warm temperatures in the Amazon was associated with warm temperatures over the Tibetan plateau and the West Antarctic ice sheet; more rainfall in the Amazon was relevant
to less rainfall in those regions.
By analysing changing temperatures in the regions between the Amazon and those distant areas, they were also able to trace the path through which energy or materials such as black carbon released in forest fire might propagate through the atmosphere. Their analysis showed the route remained consistent under different future
warming circumstances.
The collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet is a known tipping point. Melting snow on the Tibetan plateau is not, but the region is warming more rapidly than much of the rest of the globe, and changes to snow and ice there
could have consequences for ecosystems and the billions of people that rely on its snowmelt for water.
“If the Amazon does have an influence on these regions, it could mean there is a higher risk the Amazon tipping point might set others off”, says Jothan at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany.
“It adds an additional potential domino that can fall.”
21 ．How did the study identify teleconnections
A ．By recording temperature and rainfall.
B ．By finding the similarities between regions.
C ．By examining previous data on global climate.
D ．By analysing climatological data of the Amazon.
22 ．The underlined word “propagate” in paragraph 5 probably means “ ”.
A ．spread B ．absorb C ．launch D ．switch
23 ．What Jothan suggests about the Amazon
A ．It is now at a higher risk of disappearing.
B ．It indeed has an effect on the two regions.
C ．Deforestation is caused by human activities.
D ．The tipping point might cause a chain reaction.
24 ．Which can be the best title of the passage
A ．Changes within the Amazon.
B ．The Amazon at a tipping point.
C ．The Tibetan plateau and Antarctica.
D ．Global impacts of the Amazon deforestation.
7.（2023·江苏 · 统考模拟预测）On an extremely cold December night, fire trucks arrived in the sleepy little town of Manton, Michigan and shot to Chittle’s home. Was it because of a fire or a child climbing too high to a
dangerous place Rather, it was for helping make a dream come true.
Outdoor activities and a slow pace of life are a mainstay in this rural town. When people were unable to leave the community, Scott Chittle decided they needed a safe place to come together and something joyful during the
winter months. And what is a better outdoor activity to get people outside than ice skating
To fulfil his dream, Chittle downloaded instructions on how to build an ice rink and then ordered a 3,000 square foot waterproof cloth and some wood to create walls online. It took 12 fire trucks to get enough water to fill
the plot.
It took a little time and some neighborly persuasion as Chittle went door to door to convince people to come to see his creation, and soon Chittle’s backyard ice rink became a Manton hot spot. Children were skating and shooting, a fire was burning, and hot chocolate was steaming in to-go cups. “When things were tough, it was a place,” says Chittle’s neighbor Audrey Hooker. “It was fantastic because we just came together and became calm
and happy instead of concerned.”
But the goodwill didn’t stop with Chittle. When the community heard how much money he used to make this project happen, everyone stepped forward. A fundraiser brought in about $1,300, and letters flooded to Chittle’s home stuffed with cash. “Almost 30 complete strangers knocked on my door to just shake my hand and say thank you, most of them handing me money as well and three asking for a hug,” says Chittle. “This has been a community thing. It’s more than me. I want to show the rest of the world what a little effort and the best intentions
can do.”
25 ．Why did fire trucks come to Manton
A ．To deal with an emergency. B ．To send water to the community.
C ．To ensure people’s safety in the town. D ．To help with Chittle building the ice rink.
26 ．What did Chittle do to carry out his project
A ．Persuade his neighbors to make donations. B ．Purchase a piece of land behind his house.
C ．Turn to the Internet for tips and materials. D ．Research the popular lifestyles in Manton.
27 ．How did the ice rink affect the community
A ．It made the community popular in Mantan. B ．It slowed down the pace of the residents’ life.
C ．It offered people there comfort and company. D ．It inspired the residents to do outdoor activities.
28 ．What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean
A ．Everyone could make a difference to society. B ．Chittle received acts of kindness from others.
C ．The community got better due to the ice rink. D ．Chittle had goodwill to the whole community.
8.（2023·江苏南通 · 统考模拟预测）Otters (水獭) are known to be very social and intelligent creatures, but a new
study by the University of Exeter has given new insight into their intellect.
Researchers gave otters “puzzle boxes (智力训练箱)”, some of which contained familiar food, while others held unfamiliar natural prey (猎物) — shore crab and blue mussels, which are protected by hard outer shells. For the familiar food — meatballs, a favorite with the Asian short-clawed otters in the study- the scientists had five different types of boxes, and the method to extract (提取) the food changed in each version, for example pulling a tab or opening a cap. The unfamiliar food presented additional problems because the otters did not know if the crab
and mussels were safe to eat and had no experience of getting them out of their shells.
In order to decide whether food was safe and desirable to eat, the otters, which live at Newquay zoo and the Tamar Otter and Wildlife Centre, watched intently (专注地) as their companions inspected what was in the boxes
and mimicked their behavior if the other otters sampled the treats.
However, they preferred to spend more time trying to figure out how to remove the meat from the shells on their own and relied less on the actions of their companions. Of the 20 otters in the study, 11 managed to extract the
meat from all three types of natural prey.
“Much of the research into the extractive foraging (觅食) and learning capabilities of otters has centered on artificial food puzzles,” said the lead author, Alex Saliveros, of the Centre for Ecology and Conservation on Exeter’s Penryn campus in Cornwall. “Here, we were interested in investigating such skills in the context of
unfamiliar natural food, as well as in relation to artificial food puzzles.”
Other animals employ social learning to decide what is safe to eat; rats, for example, prefer novel food types
that they have smelled on the breath of other rats.
Scientists hope that understanding how otters cope with unfamiliar foraged food in their natural environment can help them train the animals to survive in the wild. “The captive (圈养的) otters in this study initially struggled
with natural prey, but they showed they can learn how to extract the food,” said Saliveros. “Our findings suggest
that if you give one otter pre-release training, it can pass some of that information on to others.”
29 ．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A ．The purpose of the research. B ．The process of extracting the food.
C ．The discovery of the intellect. D ．The ways of presenting the food.
30 ．What does the underlined word “mimicked” probably mean in paragraph3
A ．Copied. B ．Influenced. C ．Translated. D ．Monitored.
31 ．What does the new study focus on
A ．Changes in otters’ learning capabilities.
B ．Otters’ new response in artificial food puzzles.
C ．Otters’ learning skills in different circumstances.
D ．Relationships between otters’ various learning skills.
32 ．What’s the significance of the findings
A ．They may help extract the food. B ．They improve otters’ intelligence.
C ．They can aid conservation efforts. D ．They justify the early release of otters.
9.（2023·江苏盐城 · 统考三模）In this age of screens, smartphones, virtual assistants and voice-enabled speakers, we constantly receive visual and auditory ( 听觉 的) suggestions of things to do, products to buy, and media to
consume. Yet are all these messages created equal According to a research, the answer is no.
In the spring of 2018, Mariadassou and Bechler, both graduate students of Business, were sitting in a seminar (研讨会), in which they were studying how different types of messages affect decision-making. They learned that people generally perceive someone as more intelligent when they convey spoken information rather than delivering
the same message in writing.
As they chatted after class, Mariadassou recalls, “We wondered, ‘What would happen if you apply this to recommendations ’” They believed there is “a general perception that people act on auditory and visual
information the same way” and wanted to explore this assumption.
Mariadassou, who is pursuing her PhD in marketing, with Bechler, now a professor at the University of Notre Dame’s Mendoza College of Business, ran a series of studies where the same information was presented to
participants in different forms, including computer-generated audio that sounded like a smart speaker.
The researchers were surprised that auditory recommendations for products like beer were more influential than textual ones. “In theory, this shouldn’t produce any difference in behavior,” Mariadassou writes in an email. “Hearing that you should drink the pale beer or reading that you should drink the pale beer is really one and the same. The fact that it leads to psychologically different experiences that are significant enough to lead to a change
in behavior is not something you would expect.”
The effect was small but strong enough to demonstrate a “consistent effect of auditory power”, Mariadassou says. She believes the power of auditory information has to do with its ephemeral nature —“it seems like there’s this sort of fundamental need to act on information that’s going away,” she says. Bechler agrees: “When something
disappears, it creates a kind of urgency to respond.”
33 ．Why did Mariadassou and Bechler conduct the studies
A ．To apply what they learned into real life.
B ．To find out what people are more intelligent.
C ．To explore the reasons behind people’s different behaviors.
D ．To test if different types of messages affect recommendations.
34 ．What does paragraph 5 tell us
A ．The findings of the research.
B ．The theory behind the research.
C ．The application of the research results.
D ．The explanation of the research process.
35 ．What does the underlined word “ephemeral” in the last paragraph mean
A ．Uncertain. B ．Temporary. C ．Selective. D ．Random.
36 ．What is a suitable title for the text
A ．Effect of Auditory Power Has Been Long Neglected
B ．People Act on Auditory and Visual Information Equally
C ．Effective Recommendations Are Better Heard Than Seen
D ．Decision-making Has Little to Do With Types of Messages
10.（2023·浙江温州 · 统考一模）The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in educational technology (EdTech) has brought incomparable convenience and efficiency to classrooms worldwide. However, despite these advancements, it is crucial to recognize the challenges these AI-driven tools pose to the autonomy and professional
judgment of instructors.
One of its primary concerns is the depersonalization of instruction. These tools often rely on pre-packaged digital content and standardized solutions, leaving insufficient room for instructors to tailor their teaching methods. Each student possesses unique characteristics. Instructors, armed with their wealth of experience and knowledge, are best positioned to tailor their approaches to these individual needs. However, AI-driven tools restrict their ability to do so effectively, resulting in a one-size-fits-all approach that fails to inspire students to reach their
maximum potential.
EdTech companies offer step-by-step solutions to textbook problems. These are intended to act as study aids. However, some students employ this feature as a means to merely copy solutions without comprehending concepts. Consequently, instances of cheating on assignments and exams become widespread. While these tools may offer convenience, students may use external resources or cooperate with others during quizzes, affecting the honesty of
their learning outcomes.
The implications of this depersonalization and the increase in academic dishonesty are far-reaching. By decreasing the role of instructors as facilitators of meaningful educational interactions, we run the risk of preventing the growth of critical thinking and problem-solving skills among students. Education should not only focus on knowledge acquisition, but should also develop the ability to analyze, evaluate, and apply that knowledge in real-world contexts. It should help one’s mind grow, not simply memorize information. Through dynamic classroom discussions, cooperative projects, and hands-on activities, instructors play a crucial role in developing
these essential skills.
While AI-driven EdTech tools undeniably have their virtues, we must not lose sight of the importance of preserving instructor autonomy and educational experience. Instead of relying only on pre-packaged content and standardized solutions, these tools should be designed to empower instructors to adapt and customize their
approaches while taking full advantage of the benefits of technology.
37 ．What do the underlined words “the depersonalization of instruction” in paragraph 2 refer to
A ．Tailored methods for individuals. B ．Instructors’ dependence on Al.
C ．Insufficient resources of Al-driven tools.D ．The one-size-fits-all approach.
38 ．What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A ．A possible solution.
B ．A further problem.
C ．A well-meant intention.

词义猜测题是高考阅读理解试题中的必考题型, 可以是对一个单词意义的推断， 也可以是对一个短语或 句子的推断， 既可以考查生词的意义， 也可以考查熟词的新意， 可以考查替代词的内容。在阅读理解题中，
所考查的词或短语大多超出考纲的范围，需要根据语境进行推测其含义。
平时的训练中应当注意生词和短语的积累，还要掌握构词法，和一定的解题技巧。
预计 2024 年高考词义猜测题仍旧占比 0-1 题。

考点一：单词或短语意义猜测
上下文猜词义。猜测任何词义都离不开上下文，所以要借助上下文对需要猜测的词或短语进行合乎逻辑的
推测。可利用下列方法：
(1)根据定义或上下文解释进行猜测。有时短文中出现一个需要猜测其意义的词或短语，下面接着出现
其定义或解释，这就是判断该词或短语意义的主要依据。
(2)根据同位关系进行猜测。阅读中出现的难词有时下文紧跟一个同位语，对上文的词进行解释，这时
可利用同位关系对上文或下文的词义或短语意义进行猜测。
(3)根据构词法进行猜测。在英语中，有很多词可以加前缀或后缀构成一个新词，如果掌握了一定的构
词知识，就不难猜出它的词义。
(4)根据因果关系进行猜测。在一篇阅读文章中，根据原因可以预测结果，根据结果也可以找出原因。
(5)根据转折或对比关系进行猜测。根据上下句的连接词，如 but ，however ，otherwise 等可知上下句存
在转折关系，从而依据某一句的含义，来确定另一句的含义。
（6）根据举例推测词义。有时，划线部分后会根由一些具体的例子，这些例子可以帮助考试理解该词
的词义。线索词 such as, such...as, for example, for instance, like , including, especially 等。
考点二：猜测代替词所替代的内容
就近原则找指代。猜测代替词的指代内容， 要求判断代词(it, one, they, this, that, these, those, which 等)或助动 词(do,does, did 等)具体替代什么。可按以下三步进行：返回原文，找到指代词→ 向上(有时向下)搜索，找 最近的名词、代词，短语或句子→将找到的词、词组或句子代入替代该指代词，看意思和逻辑关系是否通
顺，从而确定最佳选项。
考点三：句意猜测题
意义吻合推句意。句意猜测要求通过阅读文章，用合适的语句对其进行解释性的描述。具体技巧如下：
(1)返回原文，找到该句，对原句进行语法和逻辑关系分析。对于需要猜测句意的情形，首先要理解句子的
前后特定语境，然后根据语境对此句在文中的意思进行有依据的推理，最后再进行归纳总结，得出答案。
(2)一般来说，正确选项的意思和原句的意思完全相同，只不过是用其他的词汇或句式来转换表达而已。

（2023·年新高考 II 卷 C 篇）Reading Art: Art for Book Lovers is a celebration of an everyday object — the book, represented here in almost three hundred artworks from museums around the world. The image of the reader appears throughout history, in art made long before books as we now know them came into being. In artists’
representations of books and reading, we see moments of shared humanity that go beyond culture and time.
In this “book of books,” artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures. We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school, with the book as a focus for relations between the generations. Adults are portrayed ( 描绘) alone in many settings and poses —absorbed in a volume, deep in thought or lost in a moment of leisure. These scenes may have been painted
hundreds of years ago, but they record moments we can all relate to.
3 ．What do the underlined words “relate to” in paragraph 2 mean
A ．Understand. B ．Paint.
C ．Seize. D ．Transform.

1.（2023·山东 · 德州市第一中学校联考模拟预测）While many animal populations seem to dwindle, one
species that is moving in the opposite direction of such loss is America’s native wildlife — wood stork.
The wood stork is the only stork that breeds in North America. In 1984, it was declared an endangered species after its population decreased sharply to just 5,000 mating pairs. At the time, scientists predicted that the bird would become completely extinct by 2000. Today, it numbers 10,000 mating pairs, and the Fish and Wildlife Service is
proposing a delisting of the wood stork as an endangered species. So how did the population bounce back
The success is in part down to the resourcefulness of the wood stork. The wood stork’s native home was in the Everglades in Florida, but it migrated north as the Everglades were being destroyed by development of mankind. Wetland preservation and restoration, protection of nesting areas, and management of water flows began with the approval of the wood stork’s first recovery plan in 1986. In the following year, former Savannah Coastal Refuges
biologist John Robinette noticed stork nests in Georgia as stork populations moved to safer wetlands.
According to Stephanie Kurose, a senior policy specialist at the Centre for Biological Diversity, the Endangered Species Act is also to thank for this recovery. She said, “The act saved the wood stork and it helped preserve and rebuild vital habitats throughout the southeast, which has improved water quality and benefited countless other species who call the area home.” “The Endangered Species Act has saved 99 per cent of the species that were on the list since 1973. A hundred types of plants and animals have been delisted as their populations
become stable again.
If the wood stork is delisted, it will remain protected by other laws and a monitoring plan will be put in place
to ensure the population remains stable.
1 ．What does the underlined word dwindle probably mean
A ．Boost. B ．Change. C ．Decline. D ．Explode.
2 ．What can we learn about the wood stork in paragraph two
A ．Its population shows a rising trend. B ．It has become completely extinct.
C ．It is widely distributed worldwide. D ．It is the most endangered species.
3 ．What threatened the population of the wood stock
A ．Climate change of Earth. B ．Popularity of water sports.
C ．Impact of human activities. D ．Arrival of other wild animals.
4 ．What is a direct result of the Endangered Species Act
A ．People have safer water to drink. B ．A list of species have been saved.
C ．The local economy has boomed. D ．The wood stock has flown away.

2.（2023·广东东莞 · 东莞实验中学校考一模）Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT), created by openAI, an AI and research company, is a natural language processing tool driven by AI technology that allows you to have human-like conversations and much more with a chatbot. The language model can answer questions,
and assist you with tasks such as composing emails, essays and code.
ChatGPT is powered by a large language model, or LLM, meaning it’s programmed to understand human language and generate responses based on a large amount of data. What makes ChatGPT so impressive is its ability
to log context from user’s earlier messages in a thread and use it to form responses later in the conversation.
According to analysis by Swiss bank UBS, ChatGPT is the fastest growing up app of all time. In January, only two months after its launch, UBS analysis estimates that ChatGPT had 100 million active users. For comparison, it
took nine months for TikTok to reach 100 million.
Despite looking very impressive, ChatGPT still has limitations. Instead of asking for clarification on ambiguous questions, the model just takes a guess at what your question means. “The primary problem is that the answers that ChatGPT produces have a high rate of being incorrect,” says Stack Overflow moderators in a post. Critics argue that these tools are just very good at putting words into an order that makes sense from a statistical pint of view, but they cannot understand the meaning or know whether the statements it makes are correct. Another
major limitation is that ChatGPT’s data is limited to 2021.
ChatGPT is an advanced chatbot that has the potential to make people’s lives easier and to assist with
everyday tiring tasks, such as writing an email or having to navigate the web for answers. However, there are
certain technical details that have to be figured out before it’s widely used, to prevent negative outcomes such as the spread of misinformation. In general, this AI model relies on lots of training and fine-tuning to reach a level of
ideal performance.
5 ．What can we learn about ChatGPT from the first paragraph
A ．What its potential market is. B ．It is developed jointly by two companies.
C ．Why it enjoys great popularity. D ．It is a conversational AI tool.
6 ．What does the underlined word “it” refer to
A ．Context. B ．ChatGPT’s ability. C ．A thread. D ．LLM.
7 ．What is a limitation of ChatGPT
A ．Low efficiency. B ．Disordered words.

3.（2023·广东广州 · 统考二模） The best ideas are often so smart, so simple and so clearly needed; it’s strange to discover they don’t already exist. So it is with Farm My School, a program that’s turning underused land at secondary schools into commercially achievable, regenerative market gardens farmed by and for local
communities.
Co-founded by permaculturist Ben Shaw and regenerative educator James McLennan, Farm My School connects local people and organizations through volunteering that helps establish a school’s market garden. Students learn about community networks, healthy eating, ecological responsibility, waste reduction and climate relief while helping with food production. Schools integrate all these into their courses while producing vegetable
boxes every week that feed local families, supply the school’s food needs and ultimately pay the farmer’s salary.
Farm My School has gained the extraordinary enthusiasm of the locals, who answered an online shout-out to buy tickets to the program’s launch event at Bell Secondary School last October. Called Build A Farm in a Day Festival, the event featured workshops by Ben and James to share the skills required to build what they say is the world’s largest no-dig garden. “It was such a powerful event, and I think that comes down to people wanting to act now,” says James. “We charged for the experience and 600 guys turned up! They didn’t even need free drinks to
get excited. We were gardening till midnight. It was amazing. We’ve got true community buy-in.”
Volunteers have since begun beneficial planting throughout the school. Next steps include further discussions with local communities, employing a farmer, and bringing in a teacher to develop courses. “We’ve seen this huge push towards seeing schools as regenerative spaces, not just for planting but for kids to be more connected to the outside world, and really seeing the school in a whole new light,” James says. “For us, the big excitement is that by allowing a professional farmer to take the responsibility of growing food, it’s not only on the school to look after
that farm anymore, which eventually makes it much more sustainable,” adds Ben.
9 ．Why was Farm My School founded
A ．To raise the income of the local people.
B ．To advocate a commercial farming plan.
C ．To provide free food for local communities.
D ．To turn underused campus land into market gardens.
10 ．How do schools involve students into the program
A ．By developing program-based courses.
B ．By organizing voluntary work in communities.
C ．By offering them part-time jobs in the market gardens.
D ．By encouraging them to produce daily vegetable boxes.
11 ．What does the underlined word “buy-in” mean in paragraph 3
A ．Competition.
B ．Investment.
C ．Support.
D ．Protection.
12 ．What is the highlight of the program according to Ben
A ．It brings in money to support the school.
B ．The school farm will be able to last long.
C ．The local people will take care of the farm.

4.（2023·湖南郴州 · 校联考模拟预测）When the Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) began last Friday,
Steve and Janet Kistler of Hart County, Kentucky, joined in. They’ve done so every year since the now-global
tradition began 25 years ago.
For Moira Dalibor, who teaches math at a school, this was the first count. She led a group of students and parents to an arboretum ( 植物园) for an exercise in data-gathering. They were among hundreds of thousands of people around the world counting and recording over four days. Last year, about 385,000 people from 192
countries took part in the GBBC .
This global data goes into the eBird database used by scientists for research on bird populations, which have declined sharply overall in past decades. It’s part of a rise in “citizen science” projects in which volunteers collect
data about the natural world for use by researchers.
Many bird-watchers use eBird year-round, and it has collected huge amounts of data — often between 1 million and 2 million bird checklists a month from around the world in the past couple of years, says Becca Rodomsky-Bish, the project’s leader at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, in Ithaca, New York. “Observing birds is a good way to connect with the natural world. Birds are everywhere. You don’t have to leave your house. They will
come. And they’re charismatic because they’re fun and interesting to watch.”
This is how it works: Participants watch birds, whether that means looking out of the window for 15 minutes or taking a longer trip to a nature area. Organizers recommend the Merlin bird ID app to distinguish birds by size, shape, song or other characteristics. Many participants also carry field guides and binoculars (双筒望远镜) along with their phones. They then enter the findings into the eBird app. Those numbers help researchers track the ups
and downs of various species, which then help determine the direction of conservation efforts.
Dalibor prepared her classes with information about local species and practiced with the Merlin app. The kids
recorded bird sightings with pencils and drawing boards, and parent volunteers entered those numbers on phones.
13 ．Why did Dalibor lead her students to an arboretum
A ．To do exercise for health. B ．To observe different plants.
C ．To practice their math skills. D ．To collect information about birds.
14 ．What does the underlined word “charismatic” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A ．Attractive. B ．Beautiful. C ．Rare. D ．Shy.
15 ．What can people use the Merlin bird ID app to do
A ．To record their findings. B ．To identify different birds.
C ．To help determine the birds’ habitat. D ．To track the ups and downs of various species.
16 ．What’s the best title of the text
A ．Great Backyard Bird Count: a strange activity
B ．Watching birds contributes to students’ education
C ．Moira Dalibor: a pioneer and responsible teacher

5.（2023·广东江门 · 新会陈经纶中学校考三模）Salvador Dali (1904-1989) was one of the most popular of modern artists. The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks-on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly The Persistence of Memory. There is also L’Enigme sans Fin from 1938, works on paper, objects, and projects for stage and screen
and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artist’s showman qualities.
The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the world of birth. The
exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.
The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities (无限).“From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus:amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy
Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras,”explains the Pompidou Centre.
The fine selection of the major works was done in close cooperation with the Museo National Reina Sofia in
Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg.
17 ．Which of the following best describe Dali according to Paragraph 1
A ．Optimistic. B ．Productive C ．Generous. D ．Traditional.

6.（2023·广东广州 · 广州市协和中学校考一模）What might be the global impact of extreme losses of the Amazon rainforest — the world’s largest rainforest A new study has found that rapid deforestation of the Amazon
rainforest could influence the temperature and rainfall over as far away as the Tibetan plateau and Antarctica.
Saini Yang at Beijing Normal University in China and her colleagues analysed global climatological data from 1979 to 2019 to identify correlations in temperature and rainfall between the Amazon rainforest and other areas. Such links are called “teleconnections(遥相关)” .
They focused on the Amazon rainforest in particular because of its significance as a major carbon sink and as a climatic “tipping point( 临 界 点)” that could see forests turn to tropical grasslands beyond a certain limit of
warming and human-driven deforestation.
The researchers found that since 1979, warm temperatures in the Amazon was associated with warm temperatures over the Tibetan plateau and the West Antarctic ice sheet; more rainfall in the Amazon was relevant
to less rainfall in those regions.
By analysing changing temperatures in the regions between the Amazon and those distant areas, they were also able to trace the path through which energy or materials such as black carbon released in forest fire might propagate through the atmosphere. Their analysis showed the route remained consistent under different future
warming circumstances.
The collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet is a known tipping point. Melting snow on the Tibetan plateau is not, but the region is warming more rapidly than much of the rest of the globe, and changes to snow and ice there
could have consequences for ecosystems and the billions of people that rely on its snowmelt for water.
“If the Amazon does have an influence on these regions, it could mean there is a higher risk the Amazon tipping point might set others off”, says Jothan at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany.
“It adds an additional potential domino that can fall.”
21 ．How did the study identify teleconnections
A ．By recording temperature and rainfall.
B ．By finding the similarities between regions.
C ．By examining previous data on global climate.
D ．By analysing climatological data of the Amazon.
22 ．The underlined word “propagate” in paragraph 5 probably means “ ”.
A ．spread B ．absorb C ．launch D ．switch
23 ．What Jothan suggests about the Amazon
A ．It is now at a higher risk of disappearing.
B ．It indeed has an effect on the two regions.
C ．Deforestation is caused by human activities.
D ．The tipping point might cause a chain reaction.
24 ．Which can be the best title of the passage
A ．Changes within the Amazon.
B ．The Amazon at a tipping point.
C ．The Tibetan plateau and Antarctica.
D ．Global impacts of the Amazon deforestation.

7.（2023·江苏 · 统考模拟预测）On an extremely cold December night, fire trucks arrived in the sleepy little town of Manton, Michigan and shot to Chittle’s home. Was it because of a fire or a child climbing too high to a
dangerous place Rather, it was for helping make a dream come true.
Outdoor activities and a slow pace of life are a mainstay in this rural town. When people were unable to leave the community, Scott Chittle decided they needed a safe place to come together and something joyful during the
winter months. And what is a better outdoor activity to get people outside than ice skating
To fulfil his dream, Chittle downloaded instructions on how to build an ice rink and then ordered a 3,000 square foot waterproof cloth and some wood to create walls online. It took 12 fire trucks to get enough water to fill
the plot.
It took a little time and some neighborly persuasion as Chittle went door to door to convince people to come to see his creation, and soon Chittle’s backyard ice rink became a Manton hot spot. Children were skating and shooting, a fire was burning, and hot chocolate was steaming in to-go cups. “When things were tough, it was a place,” says Chittle’s neighbor Audrey Hooker. “It was fantastic because we just came together and became calm
and happy instead of concerned.”
But the goodwill didn’t stop with Chittle. When the community heard how much money he used to make this project happen, everyone stepped forward. A fundraiser brought in about $1,300, and letters flooded to Chittle’s home stuffed with cash. “Almost 30 complete strangers knocked on my door to just shake my hand and say thank you, most of them handing me money as well and three asking for a hug,” says Chittle. “This has been a community thing. It’s more than me. I want to show the rest of the world what a little effort and the best intentions
can do.”
25 ．Why did fire trucks come to Manton
A ．To deal with an emergency. B ．To send water to the community.
C ．To ensure people’s safety in the town. D ．To help with Chittle building the ice rink.
26 ．What did Chittle do to carry out his project
A ．Persuade his neighbors to make donations. B ．Purchase a piece of land behind his house.
C ．Turn to the Internet for tips and materials. D ．Research the popular lifestyles in Manton.
27 ．How did the ice rink affect the community
A ．It made the community popular in Mantan. B ．It slowed down the pace of the residents’ life.
C ．It offered people there comfort and company. D ．It inspired the residents to do outdoor activities.
28 ．What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean
A ．Everyone could make a difference to society. B ．Chittle received acts of kindness from others.
C ．The community got better due to the ice rink. D ．Chittle had goodwill to the whole community.

8.（2023·江苏南通 · 统考模拟预测）Otters (水獭) are known to be very social and intelligent creatures, but a
new study by the University of Exeter has given new insight into their intellect.
Researchers gave otters “puzzle boxes (智力训练箱)”, some of which contained familiar food, while others held unfamiliar natural prey (猎物) — shore crab and blue mussels, which are protected by hard outer shells. For the familiar food — meatballs, a favorite with the Asian short-clawed otters in the study- the scientists had five different types of boxes, and the method to extract (提取) the food changed in each version, for example pulling a tab or opening a cap. The unfamiliar food presented additional problems because the otters did not know if the crab
and mussels were safe to eat and had no experience of getting them out of their shells.
In order to decide whether food was safe and desirable to eat, the otters, which live at Newquay zoo and the Tamar Otter and Wildlife Centre, watched intently (专注地) as their companions inspected what was in the boxes
and mimicked their behavior if the other otters sampled the treats.
However, they preferred to spend more time trying to figure out how to remove the meat from the shells on their own and relied less on the actions of their companions. Of the 20 otters in the study, 11 managed to extract the
meat from all three types of natural prey.
“Much of the research into the extractive foraging (觅食) and learning capabilities of otters has centered on artificial food puzzles,” said the lead author, Alex Saliveros, of the Centre for Ecology and Conservation on Exeter’s Penryn campus in Cornwall. “Here, we were interested in investigating such skills in the context of
unfamiliar natural food, as well as in relation to artificial food puzzles.”
Other animals employ social learning to decide what is safe to eat; rats, for example, prefer novel food types
that they have smelled on the breath of other rats.
Scientists hope that understanding how otters cope with unfamiliar foraged food in their natural environment can help them train the animals to survive in the wild. “The captive (圈养的) otters in this study initially struggled
with natural prey, but they showed they can learn how to extract the food,” said Saliveros. “Our findings suggest
that if you give one otter pre-release training, it can pass some of that information on to others.”
29 ．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A ．The purpose of the research. B ．The process of extracting the food.
C ．The discovery of the intellect. D ．The ways of presenting the food.
30 ．What does the underlined word “mimicked” probably mean in paragraph3
A ．Copied. B ．Influenced. C ．Translated. D ．Monitored.
31 ．What does the new study focus on
A ．Changes in otters’ learning capabilities.
B ．Otters’ new response in artificial food puzzles.
C ．Otters’ learning skills in different circumstances.
D ．Relationships between otters’ various learning skills.

9. （2023·江苏盐城 · 统考三模 ）In this age of screens, smartphones, virtual assistants and voice-enabled speakers, we constantly receive visual and auditory ( 听觉 的) suggestions of things to do, products to buy, and
media to consume. Yet are all these messages created equal According to a research, the answer is no.
In the spring of 2018, Mariadassou and Bechler, both graduate students of Business, were sitting in a seminar (研讨会), in which they were studying how different types of messages affect decision-making. They learned that people generally perceive someone as more intelligent when they convey spoken information rather than delivering
the same message in writing.
As they chatted after class, Mariadassou recalls, “We wondered, ‘What would happen if you apply this to recommendations ’” They believed there is “a general perception that people act on auditory and visual
information the same way” and wanted to explore this assumption.
Mariadassou, who is pursuing her PhD in marketing, with Bechler, now a professor at the University of Notre Dame’s Mendoza College of Business, ran a series of studies where the same information was presented to
participants in different forms, including computer-generated audio that sounded like a smart speaker.
The researchers were surprised that auditory recommendations for products like beer were more influential than textual ones. “In theory, this shouldn’t produce any difference in behavior,” Mariadassou writes in an email. “Hearing that you should drink the pale beer or reading that you should drink the pale beer is really one and the same. The fact that it leads to psychologically different experiences that are significant enough to lead to a change
in behavior is not something you would expect.”
The effect was small but strong enough to demonstrate a “consistent effect of auditory power”, Mariadassou says. She believes the power of auditory information has to do with its ephemeral nature —“it seems like there’s this sort of fundamental need to act on information that’s going away,” she says. Bechler agrees: “When something
disappears, it creates a kind of urgency to respond.”
33 ．Why did Mariadassou and Bechler conduct the studies
A ．To apply what they learned into real life.
B ．To find out what people are more intelligent.
C ．To explore the reasons behind people’s different behaviors.
D ．To test if different types of messages affect recommendations.
34 ．What does paragraph 5 tell us

B ．The theory behind the research.
C ．The application of the research results.

10. （2023·浙江温州 · 统考一模 ）The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in educational technology (EdTech) has brought incomparable convenience and efficiency to classrooms worldwide. However, despite these advancements, it is crucial to recognize the challenges these AI-driven tools pose to the autonomy and professional
judgment of instructors.
One of its primary concerns is the depersonalization of instruction. These tools often rely on pre-packaged digital content and standardized solutions, leaving insufficient room for instructors to tailor their teaching methods. Each student possesses unique characteristics. Instructors, armed with their wealth of experience and knowledge, are best positioned to tailor their approaches to these individual needs. However, AI-driven tools restrict their ability to do so effectively, resulting in a one-size-fits-all approach that fails to inspire students to reach their
maximum potential.
EdTech companies offer step-by-step solutions to textbook problems. These are intended to act as study aids. However, some students employ this feature as a means to merely copy solutions without comprehending concepts. Consequently, instances of cheating on assignments and exams become widespread. While these tools may offer convenience, students may use external resources or cooperate with others during quizzes, affecting the honesty of
their learning outcomes.
The implications of this depersonalization and the increase in academic dishonesty are far-reaching. By decreasing the role of instructors as facilitators of meaningful educational interactions, we run the risk of preventing the growth of critical thinking and problem-solving skills among students. Education should not only
focus on knowledge acquisition, but should also develop the ability to analyze, evaluate, and apply that knowledge
in real-world contexts. It should help one’s mind grow, not simply memorize information. Through dynamic classroom discussions, cooperative projects, and hands-on activities, instructors play a crucial role in developing
these essential skills.
While AI-driven EdTech tools undeniably have their virtues, we must not lose sight of the importance of preserving instructor autonomy and educational experience. Instead of relying only on pre-packaged content and standardized solutions, these tools should be designed to empower instructors to adapt and customize their
approaches while taking full advantage of the benefits of technology.
