AI Teaching in Louisa Schools: A Mixed Picture
While less than half of the teachers nationwide have received AI training, Louisa County schools are embracing artificial intelligence in education. According to district data, 70%of Louisa teachers now use AI tools at least weekly-far above the national average reported in a recent EdWeek Research Center survey.
(A report carried out nationwide released by the Center for Democracy and Technology)
Tools and Guidance in Action
The district has actively supported this growth. After teacher feedback called for clearer direction, Louisa developed practical AI guidelines and adopted SchoolAI, a platform designed for lesson planning and student activities. Trainings and a shared AI resource center have helped teachers integrate technology into classrooms.
Challenges Remain
Still, challenges remain. Some Louisa teachers do not use AI at all. Surveys show the main reasons include lack of training time, concerns about reliability, and limited access to tools. As one Trevilians Elementary teacher noted, practicing alone is very different from using AI with students.
Student reactions are also mixed. Some worry AI could “take over the world,” while others appreciate its help as a learning assistant. Teachers like Marcia Flora are addressing fears by explaining that “AI is just one tool” and encouraging critical thinking.
Looking Ahead
Louisa continues to adjust its approach. One example is the AI “traffic light” that teachers could share with students to help make it clear on which parts of a particular assignment students could turn to AI for help.
Green means students may use AI with citation; yellow means limited use; and red means no AI allowed. These tools help integrate AI into daily learning while encouraging proper use.
As the technology develops, Louisa’s experience offers a real-time model of how schools can prepare students for a tech-driven future.
21. What percentage of the teachers nationwide are using AI in the classroom
A．24%.
B．61%.
C．63%.
D．70%.
22. Why do some Louisa teachers avoid using AI
A．They believe it will take over the world.
B．They feel unprepared to integrate AI effectively.
C．They feel uncomfortable to adopt AI fully.
D．They find the students depend too much on AI.
23. What does the AI “traffic light” system do
A．It limits teachers’ use of AI in lessons.
B．It controls the Internet speed in classrooms.
C．It is used to teach students about road safety.
D．It guides students on proper AI use.

Born in Zambia and raised in Portland, 25-year-old Asùkùlù Songolo is the son of Congolese refugees — a background that, as he says, has deeply shaped his life choices. In the beginning, Songolo planned to study international relations at Stanford University with a focus on Africa, followed by law school and a potential career as a professor of African history. However, his career path took an unexpected turn after spending the summer of 2023 as an intern (实习生) at Marché Noir Lomé-Paris, a French fashion boutique (时装店) in Paris during the Haute Couture Week.
“I’ve always been interested in clothes. I admired how my parents, aunts, and uncles dressed, and I observed how people combined and matched different pieces,” Songolo explains. “But I never really saw fashion as a possible career. During Haute Couture Week, though, seeing people from diverse backgrounds all drawn to the same brand and viewing fashion as a unifying force made me reconsider.”
Fast-forward three years, Songolo, who has launched his own brand, Luùndo, has fully committed to his fashion career. The brand combines traditional cultural clothing with modern designs, ranging from casual wear to tailored suits and dresses. Many of his creations are inspired by Congolese aesthetics (美学), and he aims to create more opportunities for people to engage with African culture through fashion, describing Luùndo not just as a brand but as a celebration where people can express their identity and heritage with love.
“My dream is to develop creative industries, starting in Congo and then expanding across Africa. By 2050, Africa is expected to have the largest youth population in the world, but I don’t think enough is being done to create jobs for them.” His vision is to establish manufacturing in Congo and generate employment opportunities.
24. What initially influenced Asùkùlù Songolo’s career planning
A．His Congolese refugee family background.
B．His experience at Paris Haute Couture Week.
C．His research on immigrant youth engagement.
D．His interest in clothes and fashion from a young age.
25. What made Songolo consider fashion as a career during his Paris internship
A．The chance to attend Haute Couture Week.
B．Observing how his family members dressed.
C．The opportunity to work at a fashion boutique.
D．Seeing fashion bond people from diverse backgrounds.
26. What is the main goal of Songolo’s brand, Luùndo
A．To focus only on traditional Congolese clothing.
B．To become the most popular fashion brand globally.
C．To involve people in African culture through fashion.
D．To compete with major international fashion brands.
27. Which of the following can best describe Songolo
A．Still waters run deep.
B．Honesty is the best policy.
C．One good turn deserves another.
D．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

Scientists say they have discovered an earthquake-like event that can happen during a hurricane or other powerful ocean storms. They are calling it a “stormquake”. Researchers came up with this name after studying events connected with or caused by earthquakes on the sea floor during such storms. They found that the shaking can feel as strong as a magnitude 3.5 earthquake.
Intense energy from hurricanes and other severe storms can create very large waves in the ocean. These waves then “interact” in some places with solid earth under the sea to cause “intense seismic source activity,” said the leader researcher Fan, a seismologist and professor at Florida State University. “We can have seismic sources in the ocean just like earthquakes within the hard outer layer of the Earth,” he added. “The exciting part is seismic sources caused by hurricanes can last for hours or even days.”
The researchers found evidence of more than 10,000 stormquakes in coastal areas of the United States and Canada. Stormquakes were found to have happened around continental shelves or sea floors containing flat land and at lower depths, the research showed. Even with evidence of so many stormquakes happening, it was not known until recently that such events even existed. This is mainly because scientists studying earthquakes have generally considered ocean-caused seismic waves as “background noise”.
The research found that major U.S. hurricanes had produced a lot of stormquakes. One example was Hurricane Bill in 2009 in the Atlantic Ocean, which caused about 300 stormquakes as it moved north, past New Jersey. Other examples of stormquakes were Hurricane Ike in 2008 and Hurricane Irene in 2011. But the study found no evidence of stormquakes off the coast of Mexico. Also, no such activity was recorded in areas along the U.S. East Coast, starting in New Jersey, and continuing all the way down to Georgia. The team noted that even Hurricane Sandy, one of the most costly storms in U.S. history, did not cause a single stormquake. Fan says this suggests that stormquakes are strongly influenced by the physical shape of the seafloor’s surface and seafloor conditions.
Fan added that there are still “lots of unknowns” about stormquakes. But he said discovering them “suggests we are reaching a new level of understanding of seismic waves”. He hopes the discovery will lead to improved study methods for hurricanes, which in the past have mainly been observed from satellites in the sky. “Now we are able to understand the phenomenon — or at least track part of its passage — through the solid earth as well,” he said.
28. What is the distinctive feature of a stormquake
A．Being seasonal.
B．Being destructive.
C．Being long-lasting.
D．Being interactive.
29. Why were stormquakes unknown to science previously
A．Because they were extremely rare on the Earth.
B．Because they were once neglected by scientists.
C．Because they generally happen in deep sea floors.
D．Because they are quite similar to common earthquakes.
30. What message is conveyed in Paragraph 4
A．All hurricanes don’t bring about stormquakes.
B．Stormquakes happen more along the East Coast.
C．Stronger hurricanes tend to produce stormquakes.
D．The sea floor’s condition changes in stormquakes.
31. What is the significance of the discovery
A．Offering an alternative angle to research hurricanes.
B．Helping to predict an earthquake more accurately.
C．Suggesting the richness of the seismic wave field.
D．Preventing potential hurricanes and lessening losses.
D
Have you ever faced a very hard task Maybe it was a big test, a speech, or a difficult project. This happens to everyone. A wise woman named Carol Gilligan once said, “Where there is resistance (抵制), there is obstacle (障碍); where there is acceptance, the obstacle disappears.” This sounds strange, doesn’t it How can just accepting a problem make it go away The answer lies in how our minds work.
Resistance is when we fight against reality. For example, if you are afraid of math and don’t want to practice, you are resisting. This makes the problem seem bigger and scarier. Your mind gets stuck in worry and fear, wasting energy that you could use to solve the problem. Studies show that this stress makes it harder to think clearly.
Acceptance is different. It means looking at the problem clearly and saying, “Okay, this is hard, but I can handle it.” You don’t judge yourself for finding it difficult. This stops the emotional rollercoaster (过山车). When you accept that a task is hard, you can stop worrying and start making a plan. For instance, if you accept that math takes time to learn, you can take it step by step. The fear goes away, and the problem becomes smaller. This idea works in many areas of life. An athlete who accepts being nervous can use that energy to focus. A student who accepts making mistakes can learn faster. Changing from resistance to acceptance is a skill. You can learn it by calming down and making a plan.
So, next time you face a hard thing, remember Gilligan’s words. Take a deep breath, accept the feeling, and start working. You will find that the obstacle is not as big as it seemed.
32. What is the main idea of the passage
A．Ignoring challenges to save energy.
B．Avoiding challenges to reduce stress.
C．Fearing challenges to stay motivated.
D．Accepting challenges to overcome them.
33. What happens when we resist a difficult task
A．We solve it quickly with focus.
B．We feel calm and ready to act.
C．We learn new skills to handle it.
D．We waste energy on worry and fear.
34. What does acceptance allow us to do
A．Plan and take action effectively.
B．Avoid the task completely.
C．Feel more stressed about the task.
D．Doubt our ability to succeed.
35. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage
A．To show that resistance is always better.
B．To describe how to avoid difficult tasks.
C．To encourage readers to accept challenges.
D．To explain why challenges are impossible.

Closing your eyes to hear better might be a big mistake
When people try to focus on a faint sound, many instinctively (本能地) shut their eyes. The common belief is that removing visual distractions allows the brain to concentrate more fully on hearing, boosting sensitivity. ____36____
A study published in JASA set out to test whether closing the eyes truly improves hearing under noisy conditions. ____37____ They wanted to find out how visual input affects the ability to detect sounds.
In the experiment, participants listened to sounds through headphones while background noise played. Their task was to adjust the volume until each sound was just barely audible over the noise. ____38____ First, they closed their eyes; then they opened their eyes to look at a blank screen, a still image related to the sound, and finally a matching video.
The results went against a widely held assumption. ____39____ On the contrary, seeing a dynamic video corresponding to the sound significantly improved hearing sensitivity. Closing the eyes made it harder to pick out faint sounds in noisy settings, while relevant visual input provided a clear advantage.
To understand why this happens, researchers used EEG to track brain activity. They found that closing the eyes shifts the brain into a state that increases how strongly it filters incoming information. ____40____ It can also suppress the target sounds participants are trying to hear.
A．This heightened filtering does not just reduce background noise.
B．However, this approach does not always work, especially in noisy environments.
C．Researchers from Shanghai Jiao Tong University led the study.
D．The experiment included several different visual conditions.
E．They found that closing one’s eyes actually impairs the ability to detect these sounds.
F．Many people think closing eyes can help them hear better in daily life.
G．Visual input can always improve people’s hearing ability in any situation.
三、完形填空
In a remote village in Zambia, where gravel roads seem to stretch endlessly before reaching the nearest town, a classroom hums with the energy of its young learners. The desks are basic, the books are scarce, and the room is ____41____ beyond capacity — but something ____42____ is happening here. Andrew, a 38-year-old teacher, has ____43____ his under-resourced and overcrowded classroom into a place where learning flourishes.
Students in Andrew’s class travel 5 to 15 kilometers each way to attend his lessons. The daily ____44____ reflect the broader barriers to ____45____ in Zambia, where over 800,000 primary school-aged children are out of school.
Andrew ____46____ to let these barriers limit the potential of the determined young learners. Before any additional support arrived, he was already taking the ____47____ to make learning meaningful. Drawing from local culture, he introduced traditional ____48____ — like Nsolo, Ichienga, and skipping rope — to help children understand numbers and develop foundational skills in ____49____, playful ways.
At the same time, he ____50____ support from the school administration and fellow teachers, even using his own funds to obtain essential teaching materials. ____51____ to developing a sense of professionalism and ____52____ among teachers, Andrew and his colleagues ____53____ their resources to print T-shirts bearing “Catch-Up Teacher”. It was a small but powerful ____54____ that reinforced their identity as teachers dedicated to transforming learning outcomes.
One of his students ____55____ Andrew’s impact best: “My mother asked me why I go to school. I replied, to become just like my teacher when I grow up.”

67. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
I frowned at myself in the dressing-room mirror. I was wearing white tights, a white leotard (紧身连衣裤) , and a white cap that hid most of my hair. I was one of 10 snowflakes in my dance school’s Winter Wonderland show.
“Grandma, I really don’t feel like being in the show,” I said. Grandma Lani looked at me gently, “Why, mo’opuna ” Mo’opuna means “grandchild” in Hawaiian. Grandma Lani has always lived in Hawaii. “You love to dance.” I used to love to dance. Then Ms. Tuttle gave the part of the Snow Queen to Christine Abrams. Christine got to wear a blue leotard and a feathery skirt that drifted out like a cloud every time she twirled. And she got to do a dance once all by herself. The snowflakes just had to run and spin to look like a snowstorm. I sighed. “I don’t like our dance. And no one would notice if I weren’t there. There are so many of us,” “I would notice,” she reassured me softly.
As Christine walked toward us, Grandma paused and smiled at her. “What a beautiful costume!” Christine glided away, her skirt waving behind her. I hung my head. Grandma took my hand, “What’s bothering my Avery ” “And you won’t be able to tell me apart from the other snowflakes,” I whispered.
Grandma was about to speak. Then something outside the window caught her eye. She grabbed my hand and my coat and pulled me out of the dressing room and through the doors to the outside. It was snowing. Grandma held her breath and I suddenly thought of something, “Grandma, have you ever seen snow before ” “No, mo’opuna. In Hawaii, it snows only on the very tops of mountains.”
I had seen snow lots of times, but now I tried to see it differently, as if it was new. I saw snowflakes twisting through the air in different directions, sparkling and shining at us. So many snowflakes came together to create something magical. “Aloha,” Grandma whispered to the sky. Aloha can mean many things, including “love”, “ hello”, and “good-bye”. “I don’t know when I’ll see something like that again,” “I do,” I said.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150个左右；

Back in the dressing room, I knew something within me had quietly changed.

Treasure Our Class Time
Dear editors,
Recently I’ve noticed that many classmates fail to make full use of class time. Some chat with deskmates or stare out of windows when teachers are explaining key knowledge. Others bury their heads in phones, ignoring the lessons completely. Worse still, several often do homework of other subjects in class.
Class time is the most valuable chance for us to learn new knowledge and solve puzzles right away. Here are my suggestions. First, get fully prepared before class to follow teachers smoothly. Second, keep focused and take useful notes instead of being absent-minded. If you have questions, raise your hand and ask teachers on the spot. Last but not least, put away all distracting electronic devices during classes.
Let’s value every minute in class and make greater progress together.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
六、读后续写范文
Back in the dressing room, I knew something within me had quietly changed. I stopped envying Christine’s shining Snow Queen costume. Every tiny snowflake looked equally important to form the wonderful snow scene Grandma admired deeply. I fixed my white cap neatly and practised my spinning movements again and again. I told Grandma happily that I was proud to be a small snowflake. When the stage music started, I stepped onto the stage without hesitation, spinning and running with my partners wholeheartedly.
As the curtain fell, I heard Grandma’s applause rising above the rest. She waved at me excitedly with bright eyes full of delight. After the performance, Grandma hugged me tightly and said I was the most brilliant snowflake she had ever seen. I realized that every role, big or small, counts. Great beauty always comes from every ordinary part joining together. I would never look down on my own value again.
