Artificial intelligence is transforming education in ways that were unimaginable just a decade ago. AI-powered learning platforms can now _____21_____ each student's progress in real-time, identifying areas where they struggle and areas where they excel. This allows for truly _____22_____ education, where each student receives content and exercises tailored to their specific needs.
Unlike traditional classrooms, where all students must progress at the same pace, AI systems can adapt instantly. If a student masters a concept quickly, the system moves them ahead. If they struggle, it provides additional practice and explanation. This approach _____23_____ changes the one-size-fits-all model that has dominated education for centuries.
These systems don't just respond to student inputs—they actively engage students through _____24_____ exercises, simulations, and games. The technology can also generate _____25_____ for what a student should study next, based on their performance history and learning goals.
Critics worry that AI might replace human teachers, but most experts see AI as a tool that enhances rather than replaces human instruction. Teachers remain essential for providing emotional support, inspiring curiosity, and helping students develop social skills. AI handles routine tasks like grading and basic instruction, _____26_____ teachers to focus on what matters most.
The technology also makes education more _____27_____. Students in remote areas or those with limited resources can access high-quality learning materials that were previously available only in wealthy school districts. Language barriers are also falling as AI translation becomes more sophisticated.
However, challenges remain. Students may face _____28_____ from notifications, games, and social media when learning on devices. There are also concerns about data privacy and the potential for AI systems to reinforce existing biases. As these technologies continue to _____29_____, educators and policymakers must work together to ensure they serve all students fairly.
Despite these challenges, the potential benefits are enormous. For the first time in history, we have the ability to give every student a _____30_____ learning experience that adapts to their unique needs, pace, and learning style. The future of education is not about choosing between humans and machines—it's about using each to complement the other.
III. Reading Comprehension (每题1分；共15分)
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
In our high-speed world, we often overlook the simplest activities. Walking is one such activity that deserves more _____31_____. While we typically think of walking as merely a way to get from one place to another, research suggests that putting one foot in front of the other offers remarkable benefits for both body and mind.
The physical benefits of walking are well-documented. Regular walking can _____32_____ the risk of heart disease, lower blood pressure, and help maintain a healthy weight. What's less known is how walking affects our _____33_____ processes. Studies have shown that walking can improve memory, increase creativity, and even slow the progression of age-related mental decline.
One study from Stanford University found that walking increased creative output by an average of 60 percent. Participants who walked—whether on a treadmill or outdoors—produced more _____34_____ and higher-quality ideas than those who sat. The effect was so strong that researchers suggested organizations might want to consider incorporating walking meetings into their _____35_____.
But why does walking have this effect? Some researchers believe it has to do with the _____36_____ state of the brain. When we walk, our brain enters a state that is neither fully focused nor completely relaxed. This "quiet wakefulness" allows different parts of the brain to communicate more _____37_____, leading to novel connections and insights.
Walking outdoors may offer _____38_____ benefits. Exposure to nature has been shown to reduce stress, improve mood, and restore attention. A study of people who walked in a park versus those who walked along a busy city street found that the nature walkers experienced greater improvements in mental health.
For maximum benefits, experts suggest walking for at least 30 minutes a day, five days a week. But even shorter walks can help. A 10-minute walk can _____39_____ energy levels and improve mood. The key is consistency rather than intensity.
Walking also provides opportunities for social _____40_____. Walking with a friend or family member allows for conversation without the _____41_____ of sitting face-to-face. Many people find it easier to discuss difficult topics while walking side by side.
Despite these benefits, many people _____42_____ to incorporate walking into their daily routines. Common excuses include lack of time, bad weather, and the belief that walking isn't "real exercise." However, experts argue that these are just _____43_____. Walking is accessible to almost everyone, requires no special equipment, and can be done almost anywhere.
The Japanese practice of "forest bathing" (shinrin-yoku) takes walking to another level. This practice involves walking slowly through forests while _____44_____ all the senses. Studies have found that forest bathing can lower cortisol levels, reduce blood pressure, and boost the immune system.
Perhaps most importantly, walking gives us time to think. In a world of constant notifications and interruptions, a walk provides precious moments of _____45_____. It's no coincidence that many great thinkers—from Aristotle to Steve Jobs—were known for their walking habits.

Section B (每题2分；共24分)
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
In 2015, a team of researchers published a study that seemed to contradict everything we thought we knew about willpower. For decades, the dominant theory held that willpower was a limited resource. According to this view, when you resist eating a cookie, you use up some of your willpower, leaving less available for subsequent tasks like studying or exercising. The theory, known as "ego depletion," was supported by dozens of studies showing that people performed worse on self-control tasks after previously exerting willpower.
But the 2015 study, led by psychologist Evan Carter, cast doubt on this entire framework. After reanalyzing the data from previous studies, Carter found evidence of publication bias—the tendency for journals to publish studies with positive results while ignoring those with null findings. When he accounted for this bias, the supposed effect of ego depletion disappeared.
This finding sparked a fierce debate in psychology. Some researchers defended the original theory, while others argued that willpower might work differently than previously thought. A more recent theory suggests that willpower is not a limited resource but rather a function of how tired we believe ourselves to be. According to this "motivational" account, people who believe that willpower is limited will show signs of depletion, while those who see willpower as unlimited will not.
Several studies support this view. In one experiment, researchers told participants that they were participating in a study on mental stamina. Some participants were told that mental exertion would leave them feeling energized, while others were told it would leave them exhausted. Those who expected to feel energized performed better on subsequent tasks, even when they had just completed a difficult mental exercise.
These findings have practical implications. If willpower is largely about mindset, then changing how we think about self-control could help us achieve our goals. People who view willpower as unlimited may be more likely to persist in the face of difficulty. They might also be less likely to use "willpower breaks" as an excuse for giving up.
However, not everyone is convinced. Critics note that while mindset effects are real, they may not tell the whole story. Physical factors like blood sugar levels and sleep quality also affect our ability to exert self-control. A person who is hungry or sleep-deprived will likely struggle with willpower regardless of their mindset.
What seems clear is that the science of willpower is more complex than previously believed. The simple model of willpower as a battery that drains with use may be incorrect. Instead, willpower appears to be influenced by a combination of psychological beliefs, physical state, and environmental factors. For those looking to improve their self-control, the best approach may be to pay attention to all of these elements.
46. What was the dominant theory about willpower before 2015?
A. Willpower is unlimited and never runs out.
B. Willpower is influenced only by physical factors.
C. Willpower is a limited resource that gets used up.
D. Willpower has no effect on human behavior.
47. What did Evan Carter's 2015 study find?
A. Ego depletion was stronger than previously thought.
B. Publication bias may have made ego depletion seem real.
C. Willpower is completely determined by blood sugar levels.
D. People with high willpower never experience mental fatigue.
48. According to the "motivational" account, what determines whether someone experiences willpower depletion?
A. Their physical fitness level.
B. How much sleep they got.
C. Their beliefs about willpower.
D. The difficulty of the task.
49. What can be inferred from the passage about improving self-control?
A. The best approach is to ignore all scientific research.
B. Only physical factors like diet and sleep matter.
C. There is no single factor that determines willpower.
D. Mindset is the only thing that affects willpower.
(B)
We have more ways to communicate than ever before—text messages, social media, video calls, and the old-fashioned phone call. Yet many of us feel that the quality of our conversations has declined. We interrupt more, listen less, and struggle to have meaningful exchanges. Fortunately, conversation is a skill that can be improved with practice.
The first rule of good conversation is to listen actively. Most people listen with the intent to reply, not to understand. While someone is speaking, they are already formulating their response, looking for an opportunity to jump in. Active listening means giving the speaker your full attention, asking clarifying questions, and summarizing what you've heard to ensure understanding. This doesn't come naturally to most people, but it can be learned.
Second, ask open-ended questions. Questions that can be answered with "yes" or "no" tend to kill conversations. Instead, ask questions that begin with "what," "how," or "why." For example, instead of asking "Did you enjoy your vacation?" try "What was the most memorable part of your vacation?" Open-ended questions invite elaboration and show genuine interest in the other person's experience.
Third, embrace silence. Many people feel uncomfortable with pauses in conversation and rush to fill them. But silence gives both parties time to think and process. Some of the most meaningful statements come after a moment of quiet reflection. Learning to tolerate silence can make you a better conversationalist.
Fourth, avoid multitasking. In an age of smartphones, it's tempting to glance at notifications while someone is speaking. But even a quick look at your phone signals that you're not fully present. Put your phone away—out of sight, out of mind—and give the other person your undivided attention. They will notice and appreciate it.
Fifth, don't treat conversations as competitions. Some people listen only for the purpose of finding an opportunity to share their own story or expertise. If someone mentions they climbed a mountain, they immediately respond with a story about climbing an even taller mountain. This turns conversation into a contest rather than a connection. Instead, ask follow-up questions and celebrate the other person's experiences.
Finally, be curious. The most engaging conversationalists are genuinely interested in other people. They approach each conversation as an opportunity to learn something new. This curiosity is contagious—when you show interest in others, they become more interested in you.
Psychologist Carl Rogers once said, "The greatest barrier to communication is the tendency to evaluate—to approve or disapprove of what the other person is saying." To have better conversations, try to suspend judgment. Listen first, understand second, and respond third. With practice, these skills become habits, and your conversations will become richer and more meaningful.
50. According to the passage, how do most people typically listen?
A. They listen carefully to understand the speaker.
B. They prepare their response while others speak.
C. They take notes to remember key points.
D. They ask questions throughout the conversation.
51. Why does the author suggest asking open-ended questions?
A. Because they are easier to answer.
B. Because they make conversations shorter.
C. Because they encourage detailed responses.
D. Because they can be answered with one word.
52. What does the author say about silence in conversation?
A. Silence should always be avoided.
B. Silence indicates lack of interest.
C. Silence can lead to more meaningful exchanges.
D. Silence makes most people comfortable.
53. The author's attitude toward multitasking during conversations can best be described as:
A. Supportive
B. Neutral
C. Critical
D. Enthusiastic
(C)
The giant panda has been a symbol of wildlife conservation for decades. With its distinctive black-and-white fur and gentle appearance, it has captured hearts worldwide. But recent news suggests that the panda may no longer need this iconic status. In 2021, Chinese officials announced that giant pandas were no longer classified as endangered in the wild, with their population reaching 1,800 individuals.
This is remarkable news considering where pandas stood just 40 years ago. In the 1980s, the panda population had fallen to around 1,100, and many feared extinction was inevitable. Habitat loss was the primary threat. As China's population grew, forests were cleared for agriculture and development, fragmenting panda habitats and isolating populations.
The turnaround is a testament to what conservation can achieve with sustained effort and political will. China established 67 panda reserves, protecting nearly two-thirds of the wild panda population. The government also banned logging in panda habitats and implemented programs to replant bamboo forests. Perhaps most importantly, China made poaching punishable by severe penalties, including life imprisonment or even death in the most extreme cases.
But the panda's success story raises an uncomfortable question: Did we care about pandas more than other endangered species because they are cute? This "panda paradox" suggests that conservation resources are not distributed based on ecological importance but on public appeal. Less charismatic species—like the Yangtze giant softshell turtle or the Hainan gibbon—receive far less attention and funding, even when they are more critically endangered.
The problem extends beyond China. Worldwide, conservation efforts tend to favor large, attractive mammals over less appealing creatures like amphibians, insects, and plants. A 2020 study found that mammals receive more than 80 percent of conservation funding in some regions, despite representing only a small fraction of endangered species.
Some conservationists argue that this "charisma bias" is acceptable if flagship species like pandas help raise awareness and funding that benefits entire ecosystems. Panda conservation has protected vast areas of forest in China, benefiting countless other species that share those habitats. These "umbrella species" serve as ambassadors for the ecosystems they represent.
Others contend that conservation should be based on scientific priorities rather than popularity. They point out that amphibians are declining at alarming rates worldwide, yet receive a fraction of the attention given to pandas. Losing these less charismatic species could have serious ecological consequences.
As the panda moves from "endangered" to "vulnerable," conservationists have an opportunity to reassess priorities. The strategies that worked for pandas—habitat protection, anti-poaching measures, and captive breeding—can be applied to other species. But doing so will require shifting public attention and funding toward animals that may never appear on a WWF logo.
54. What was the status of giant pandas in the 1980s according to the passage?
A. Their population was increasing rapidly.
B. They were no longer endangered.
C. Their population had fallen to about 1,100.
D. They were successfully reintroduced to the wild.
55. What does the "panda paradox" refer to in the passage?
A. Pandas are actually dangerous despite their cute appearance.
B. Conservation resources may favor cute animals over ecologically important ones.
C. Pandas don't need conservation anymore.
D. China's conservation efforts have been too successful.
56. What does the 2020 study mentioned in the passage reveal?
A. Most endangered species are mammals.
B. Amphibians receive more funding than mammals.
C. Conservation funding heavily favors mammals.
D. Insects are the most protected species.
57. What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?
A. To celebrate the success of panda conservation.
B. To criticize China's conservation policies.
C. To raise questions about how conservation resources are distributed.
D. To argue that only cute animals deserve protection.
Section C (每题2分；共8分)
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.
A. This phenomenon has been called "decision fatigue."
B. However, research suggests that this common practice may actually backfire.
C. Many people find that journaling helps them process difficult emotions.
D. The quality of your decisions tends to decrease as the day goes on.
E. Some experts recommend making important decisions in the morning.
F. These small decisions might seem insignificant, but they add up.
Every day, we make hundreds of decisions. What to wear, what to eat for breakfast, which route to take to work, whether to check email or start a project first. _____58_____ By the time we reach the end of the day, we may find ourselves too exhausted to decide what to watch on television, let alone make important life choices.
This phenomenon has been studied extensively by social psychologist Roy Baumeister, who found that the act of making decisions depletes a limited mental resource. _____59_____ This is why you might make poor choices late at night—ordering unhealthy food, making impulsive purchases, or saying something you regret.
Many people try to combat decision fatigue by multitasking—answering emails while on a conference call, or scrolling through social media while eating lunch. _____60_____ Multitasking forces your brain to constantly switch between tasks, which actually increases cognitive load and speeds up mental depletion.
So what can you do? _____61_____ Your willpower and decision-making ability are strongest in the morning, before the day's choices have taken their toll. You should also reduce the number of trivial decisions you make. Steve Jobs famously wore the same black turtleneck every day to eliminate one decision from his life. You don't need to go that far, but you can simplify your routine by meal planning, laying out clothes the night before, or creating systems for recurring decisions.

62. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
The Benefits of Boredom
In a world where smartphones provide constant stimulation, boredom has become something we try to avoid at all costs. We reach for our phones the moment we have to wait in line or sit alone for a few minutes. Yet psychologists argue that boredom serves important functions and that we may be losing something valuable by constantly escaping it.
Boredom, contrary to popular belief, can be a creative force. When your mind is not occupied with external stimulation, it begins to wander. This wandering state, known as the "default mode network" in neuroscience, is precisely when creative insights often occur. Many great ideas have come to people during boring activities like showering, driving, or waiting. Without these moments of mental wandering, our brains lose opportunities to make novel connections.
Furthermore, boredom teaches us to tolerate discomfort. Life inevitably includes dull moments—waiting at the doctor's office, sitting through a slow meeting, standing in line at the grocery store. People who have learned to sit with boredom rather than escape it develop greater emotional resilience. They are better equipped to handle life's less exciting moments without becoming anxious or frustrated.
Boredom also motivates us to seek meaningful activities. When we feel bored, it is often a signal that our current situation lacks engagement or purpose. This discomfort pushes us to find more satisfying ways to spend our time. However, if we immediately reach for our phones whenever boredom strikes, we lose this motivational signal. We end up filling our time with mindless scrolling rather than pursuing activities that truly matter to us.
Of course, chronic boredom can be a sign of depression or other mental health issues. But occasional boredom is not only normal but potentially beneficial. The next time you find yourself waiting with nothing to do, consider resisting the urge to check your phone. You might be surprised at what your mind comes up with when given the chance to be bored.
