We use energy every day. Energy makes things move. It makes light. It makes heat and cold. Energy gives us the power to run machines. It makes our homes nice to live in.
Sometimes your home gets cold. You can just turn up the heat! Your home has a machine that blows warm air into each room. Heating your home takes a lot of energy. In fact, it is usually your home’s biggest use of energy. Your home may have machines that cool the air, too.
At night, your home gets dark. You can just turn on a lamp! Your lamp needs energy to work. The energy moves through wires (电线) inside your walls. The wires are attached (连接) to the lamp. Energy travels to a bulb (灯泡). That is the glass part in the lamp. Energy makes the bulb give out light.
Wires send energy all around your home. They send energy to your stove (厨灶). They send energy to your washing machine. They send energy to your computer. All of these machines use energy. They have wires inside the walls. Energy stays there until you turn something on.

Have you heard of “AI self-study rooms” It is a new business model in education, which has recently appeared in China. It is getting more and more attention, but people hold different opinions about it.
AI self-study rooms bring together AI learning tools, study monitors (监控) and a good learning environment. Students take online classes and do exercises with learning machines. At the same time, monitors help keep order. They also use AI to find students’ weak points and make personalized study plans for them.
A parent told Global Times that AI learning machines are more interactive than common online courses. They can analyze students’ learning and give them proper and challenging questions to reach their learning goals. “Now, students in the countryside can do virtual (虚拟的) biology experiments through AI self-study rooms. This was impossible before because of limited local resources,” said a teacher from Qinghai.
Some people praise AI self-study rooms for their advantages, but others think they are just for show. Some students say some AI learning machines are not smart enough. They cannot teach students in different ways and only give mechanical practice. Their updates are slow, and their fixed question banks often have mistakes, which may mislead students.
As for the price, it costs 200 yuan per hour on weekends and it is 20% off on weekdays. “We can’t afford this service. We have to think carefully about whether the price is worth the learning effect,” a parent from Jiangsu told Global Times.
“I believe AI is helpful to education. But as a new business, AI self-study rooms still face problems, such as poor integration (融合) and unbalanced quality. With continuous technology development, AI learning will become more important in the future,” said Professor Huang from the Beijing Academy of Social Sciences.
11．How does the writer introduce the topic
A．By telling a story. B．By showing a fact.

12．What can we learn about AI self-study rooms according to the passage
A．Only AI learning tools can be used in the rooms.
B．Rural students can do more real experiments than before.
C．All the AI machines work very well and have no wrong questions.
D．Monitors can use AI to make personal study plans for students.
13．How much will you spend studying in AI self-study rooms for 2 hours on Friday
A．160 yuan. B．240 yuan. C．320 yuan. D．400 yuan.
14．What is Professor Huang’s attitude toward AI learning
A．He is against it. B．He is hopeful about it.

Have you ever been full of curiosity about the world and always liked to ask “why” when you were a child Curiosity is the drive to explore and learn.
Curiosity helps the brain to take in new information. For students, curiosity is like a mind superpower. At the same time, curiosity is also a process of actively looking for answers. When you're truly curious about a topic, it becomes easier and more effective for your brain to take in and keep new information.
Curiosity also leads to more exciting ideas. Curiosity encourages students to go beyond “what is taught” and ask “what if”. Instead of simply accepting information, a curious student studies it and looks at it from different sides. This habit of thinking leads to more interesting ideas because it connects knowledge from different subjects.
Curiosity encourages active learning and helps discover your career interests. When Qian Xuesen was young, he was curious about why paper planes could fly and how to make them fly farther. Driven by this curiosity, he worked hard and became a great scientist. This curiosity about one thing will keep you learning, and maybe that interest will shape your future career.
So how to develop your curiosity One effective method is to ask open-ended questions. For example, instead of asking, “Did you enjoy the training ”, one might ask, “Which aspects of the training did you find most interesting ” Looking for new ideas is another important strategy (策略) for developing curiosity. Besides, jumping out of one's comfort zone (舒适区) is also important for developing curiosity.
As Richard Feynman said, “Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough.” Therefore, keep a curious mind. You never know where it may lead you!
21．How does curiosity act on the brain according to the text
A．It makes the brain more relaxed and active.
B．It pushes the brain to remember details more clearly.
C．It allows the brain to focus on what you are learning.
D．It helps the brain take in and keep new information more easily.
22．What are curious students like
A．They usually learn a thing more quickly than others.
B．It is easy for them to choose their own careers.
C．They often consider a thing from different sides.
D．They are used to accepting information directly.
23．What do the underlined words “open-ended questions” in paragraph 5 mean
A．Questions that have no clear answers.
B．Questions that will get short answers.
C．Questions that require you to think twice to answer.
D．Questions that need more than a “Yes” or “No” reply.
24．What is the structure of the text (①=Paragraph 1, …)
A．①-②③④-⑤⑥B．①-②③-④⑤-⑥ C．①②-③④-⑤⑥ D．①-②③④⑤-⑥
