One day in Bronx, a first-grade teacher sat down in a barbershop for a haircut and one of his students walked in, sat down, and started looking antsy. He thought to himself that it was a perfect opportunity to practice reading, a thought that changed Alvin Irby’s life, and he’s filling many barbershops around the US with free books to trim back childhood illiteracy (文盲). His non-profit, Barbershop Books, has delivered 50,000 free books to more than 200 barbershops in mainly black neighborhoods in 24 states, considering the fact that in Black American communities, barbershops are like community centers where people gather naturally.
“So many kids associate reading with something you do in or for school,” he said. “If the only place a kid practices the piano is during a lesson, the progress will be slow. Our program is about getting kids to say three words: ‘I’m a reader.’”
Irby’s program may seem straightforward but there’s a lot of thought behind it. He puts a colorful, kid-sized bookshelf in each shop, making it inviting to children. The books displayed are all carefully chosen based on recommendations from his target audience. The bookshelves display the covers of the books rather than the spines, helping kids who may be interested in reading seize the opportunity for themselves, whether they’re in the barber’s chair or they’re waiting on their dad or friend. And Irby involves the barbers in his mission — training them to engage kids about reading. “We want them to encourage kids to use the reading spaces,” he said. “Then they can talk to them about how they like reading, how funny a book was or tell them about another book another kid was reading.”
Denny Moe was the first barber to work with Irby. Moe had previously offered video games at his Harlem shop, to bring in extra income, but he was willing to quit that to help the community. “I decided to pay it forward by getting rid of the video games, putting books in here, just to get the kids’ minds going,” he said. “You want to make an impact.”
“These books, I would say, have power,” 8-year-old boy Chance said. That’s what keeps Irby motivated. “I’m just excited that we get to create a safe space for boys to do something that’s really life changing,” he said. “That’s what I really believe reading is. It unlocks potential.”
9．What does the underlined word in paragraph 1 most probably mean
A．Restless. B．Serious. C．Relieved. D．Joyful.
10．Why does the program appeal to children
A．Because it expresses children’s requirements. B．Because it shows children’s characteristics.
C．Because it protects children’s security. D．Because it considers children’s preferences.
11．What made Denny Moe give up the video games finally
A．That he wanted to attract more customers. B．That he wanted to make a difference.
C．That he wanted to bring in more money. D．That he wanted to meet different demands.
12．What is the best title for this passage
A．Black Kids, Potential Big Readers
B．Free Books, Good Way to Pay Back
C．Colourful Covers, Nice Try to Attract Kids
D．Small Barbershops, Treasure House to Start Reading
B
Researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the University of Cologne (UC) in Germany have developed an AI-based learning system.
The idea is simple yet effective: a webcam (网络摄像头) tracks students’ eye movements. Maike Schindler, a math professor from the UC, and her team have designed hundreds of math tasks involving basic math skills. Depending on the task, specific patterns appear, which are shown digitally on a heat map, with red indicating areas where the children look frequently and green showing the areas where they look only briefly. Confident students quickly get to key problem areas, while struggling ones often look aimlessly.
“Tracking eye movements helps recognize different learning strategies through patterns and finally create detailed support reports for teachers,” says Maike Schindler. “The AI system sorts the patterns. On the basis, the software selects tailored learning videos and exercises for the pupil,” says robotics professor Achim Lilienthal from the TUM.
To develop the new eye-tracking technology, Professor Lilienthal has drawn on his robotics research experience. In that work, he used eye trackers with a small human-like robot named Nao. It enables better communication with humans. However, these advanced systems with high accuracy (准确) cost many thousands of euros.
To find a better solution for schools, the researchers cleverly mix technical experience with math knowledge. Instead of using high-end eye-trackers, their AI-driven approach uses regular webcams and makes up for low accuracy through AI improvements. “By focusing on problem areas, the AI adapts the eye-tracking with the webcam, achieving accuracy comparable to high-end tools,” professor Lilienthal says.
Germany’s Wulfen Comprehensive School is the first to introduce the system. A math test there showed that about one-third of the new students struggled with basic math. With the AI system, one teacher can now support five students at once — a significant improvement over traditional one-on-one teaching. “As education faces teacher shortages and increasing pressure to deal with individual learning styles, our system for promoting basic math skills is simply excellent support for schools,” says Schindler.
13．What is the function of the heat map
A．Measuring the difficulty of math tasks. B．Presenting students’ focus areas.
C．Tracking the students’ eye movements. D．Comparing students’ counting speeds.
14．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about the system
A．Its challenges in tracking student behavior.
B．Its progress in upgrading specific patterns.
C．Its advantages in recognizing eye problems.
D．Its role in supporting personalized learning.
15．Which best describes the AI-driven eye-tracking technology
A．Affordable and effective. B．Helpful but slow.
C．Demanding and relaxing. D．Creative but costly.
16．What does Wulfen Comprehensive School get from the system
A．Reduction in teacher training. B．Inspiration for advanced math.
C．Adaptation to learning needs. D．Absence of human judgment.

【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了上周日，深圳大学向毕业生们赠送了枕头作为毕业礼物，希望以此提醒他们睡眠的重要性和追求梦想的重要性。
37．考查介词。句意：上周日，深圳大学向毕业生们赠送了枕头作为毕业礼物，希望以此提醒他们睡眠的重要性和追求梦想的重要性。此处为固定短语in/with the hope of“抱着……希望”，满足句意要求。故填in或with。
38．考查动词不定式。句意：在毕业典礼上，大学校长毛俊发鼓励年轻的毕业生重视健康，避免熬夜。句子中使用了固定短语encourage sb. to do sth.，表示“鼓励某人做某事”，所以需要用动词不定式to attach。故填to attach。
39．考查冠词。句意：他警告他们不要等到睡觉变成一种奢侈。根据句意以及空后luxury为单数名词可知，此处为表示泛指“一种奢侈”为泛指概念，结合luxury以辅音音素开头，应用不定冠词a。故填a。
40．考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：背面是学校的留言：“晚上仰望星空做梦，白天脚踏实地追梦。”此处为谓语动词的填入，句子中描述的是一个客观事实，即枕头背面有一条来自大学的留言，因此应该使用一般现在时。又因为句子主语为第三人称单数形式，所以动词read应该用其第三人称单数形式reads。故填reads。
41．考查连词。句意：背面是学校的留言：“晚上仰望星空做梦，白天脚踏实地追梦。”根据句意可知，此处为连词and连接前后两个句子，保持并列关系。故填and。
42．考查非谓语动词。句意：毛说，叫醒他们的不是早上的闹钟，而是他们需要解决的问题和他们想要实现的梦想。由空前介词of可知，此处为动名词形式，结合wake up和逻辑主语they为被动关系，应用动名词的被动语态。故填being woken。
43．考查强调句型。句意：毛说，叫醒他们的不是早上的闹钟，而是他们需要解决的问题和他们想要实现的梦想。分析句子可知，此处为it is…that…的强调句型，被强调部分为“the problems they need to solve and the dreams they desire to achieve”，为强调句子的主语成分。故填that。
44．考查形容词。句意：前几年，该校曾向毕业生赠送象征着破除困难的雨伞和象征着冒险精神的背包等礼物。由空后spirit为名词可知，此处修饰名词spirit，应用形容词adventurous“有冒险精神的”，作定语。故填adventurous。
45．考查名词复数。句意：除了定制的枕头，学校还准备了纪念试管，试管是用学校荔枝园的土壤和树枝制成的。根据句意以及and连接的tubes可知，此处应用名词复数形式。故填branches。
46．考查副词。句意：这些材料经过精心挑选、收集和消毒，供毕业生带走，作为他们对学校记忆的一部分。由副词修饰动词可知，此处修饰动词selected、collected和sterilized，应用副词carefully，作状语。故填carefully。
