Proposal for AI-empowered PE Elective Courses
As a student passionate about innovation, I propose integrating AI into PE electives. My suggestion is to develop an AI system that designs personalized training plans based on students’ fitness levels and tracks their progress through wearable devices.
Traditional PE classes often adopt a “one-size-fits-all” approach, which may not suit everyone. AI can analyze individual data to create tailored exercises, ensuring safer and more effective workouts. It also provides instant feedback to correct movements, reducing injury risks.
This approach will improve overall fitness and help students build sustainable exercise habits. Let’s embrace AI to make PE smarter and healthier!
【答案】范文
Days passed, and Faraz returned home on the day Ahmed’s exam results were announced. After school that day, Ahmed raced home, excitedly sharing that he’d come in second in his class. The family was overjoyed, and Faraz proudly declared, “Ahmed, you’ve earned your reward!” But when Faraz returned empty-handed from his room, his face fell. “They’re gone,” he said, confused. After an awkward silence among the family, Ahmed spoke in a shaky voice, “I took them ... I was afraid you would withhold them if I failed.” He then fetched the headphones and handed them to Faraz.
Faraz was disappointed, saying Ahmed had stolen something meant to be his. Feeling ashamed, Ahmed cried and ran to his room. Concerned, Faraz came to Ahmed and found him in bed, face buried in his pillow. When Ahmed felt his brother’s touch, he turned and hugged him, apologizing through tears. Faraz hugged him back. “What you did was wrong,” he said gently, “but recognizing your mistake is what matters.” Ahmed nodded, wiping his eyes. “I’ll never do it again.” With a warm smile, Faraz patted his head and said, “Come on! Your headphones are waiting.”山东济南市莱芜第二中学2025-2026学年下学期高二期末检测英语试题

In the summer before my senior year of high school, my friends and I traveled to Ecuador on a volunteer trip with an organization called ME to WE.
Flashback to the fall of my junior year: my two friends and I went to an event called WE Day in Minneapolis, the United States, which first opened us up to the possibility of making a volunteer trip a reality. WE Day is an event put on by ME to WE, which has programs set up all around the world to help people in developing countries through the five aspects of education, clean water and sanitation (公共卫生), health, agriculture and food security, as well as income and livelihood.
For our global project, we wanted to do one of their volunteer trips in another country. Of course, this sounded like a great opportunity and we were ready to jump on it, but none of us were unaware of the term “voluntourism". This is when people travel to developing countries to volunteer, but in reality, they just make things worse than they originally were. This was definitely something we wanted to avoid, so we did a lot of research into the credibility of this program.
After research, we found it very credible and really liked the idea behind their projects, which was to give “hand ups”instead of “handouts". This means that they work to help the local people learn to maintain the work that they help start rather than just setting projects up and then leaving them behind.
When we arrived in Ecuador, we worked alongside community members to dig out old pipes on the top of a mountain that led to the town and gave them access to running water. Digging out pipes at such a high altitude was definitely a challenge, but being able to work alongside great people while doing it made it so much better. What’s more, my perspective has widened and now I look forward to a time when I can do something like this again.
24. How did WE Day most likely influence the author and her friends
A. Convincing them to travel worldwide.
B. Giving them an overview of the world.
C. Motivating them to volunteer more abroad.
D. Making them aware of their local issues.
25. How does the author most probably feel about voluntourism
A. Critical. B. Curious. C. Uncertain. D. Enthusiastic.
26. What is the core idea of the projects of ME to WE
A. Providing immediate financial aid.
B. Expanding their reach to more people.
C. Replacing labor with modern technology.
D. Equipping locals with sustainable skills.
27. What was the author probably assigned to do in Ecuador
A. Teach the villagers life skills. B. Trace the history of Ecuador.
C. Restore the water supply for the locals. D. Communicate with the local talents.
C
Understanding a simple-looking English sentence such as “I read this article yesterday” actually requires some complicated conceptual computation: a subject (“T”) performed an action (“read”) on an object (“article”) at a specific time (“yesterday”). But the human brain routinely does this work nearly at once based on the language’s grammatical rules, says linguist Andrea E. Martin. And Martin’s team has now found that the human brain can accommodate fundamental grammatical differences across languages by adjusting how it processes each sentence.
For a recent study in PLOS Biology, the researchers observed variations in Dutch-speaking participants’ brain waves while they listened to a Dutch-language audiobook. To visualize these changes, the scientists used a metric (指标) quantifying how many new “predictions” the brain makes of words that could come next in a sentence. This framework was then tested against three different parsing (语法分析的) strategies, or linguistic models that illustrate how the brain builds information over time.
Previous English-based studies with a similar setup concluded in favor of a model where listeners “wait and see” how each phrase in a sentence will end before interpreting it. But the Dutch speakers in Martin’s study leaned strongly toward a highly predictive model; participants tended to finish each phrase in their head preemptively before it was complete. (A third model, in which listeners wait to hear all of the phrases in a sentence before interpreting any part of it, is seldom used in either language.)
In Dutch language structure, verbs come near the end of a sentence rather than immediately after the subject like they do in English, while in Korean, the subject is usually left out and in Arabic verbs often come first. So flexibility is vital in processing different languages simply because they have different properties.
The findings support the need for scientists to include more diversity when crafting linguistic models. “This is going to help us capture how the brain is understanding the structured meaning of language, and the social application of language,” Martin says. “There’s so much yet to be understood in the brain.”
28. Why does the author cite the example in paragraph 1
A. To introduce a grammar rule. B. To analyze an English sentence.
C. To bring in a new research finding. D. To stress the complexity of human brain.
29. What does the underlined word “preemptively” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. By accident. B. In advance. C. On time. D. By mistake.
30. Which sentence can match the Dutch language structure
A. Universe the about documentary saw. B. Saw I a documentary about the universe.
C. I saw a documentary about the universe. D. I a documentary about the universe saw.
31. What does Martin try to stress in the last paragraph
A. The challenges of brain researches. B. The application of the present findings.
C. The purposes of different linguistic models. D. The necessity to diversify subjects in studies.
D
Named as the Oxford Word of the Year for 2024, “brain rot” refers to the supposed decline of a person’s mental condition as a result of watching too much “unimportant or unchallenging” content online. While often used jokingly, a new study from Tianjin Normal University suggests there may be some truth to it.
Researchers examined the brains of 111 students, all regular viewers of short videos, and found that those most attached to them had noticeable differences in brain structure. They had increased grey matter in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), the brain area linked to decision-making and emotional management, and in the cerebellum, which plays a role in movement and emotions. The researchers proposed that regularly watching these videos might strengthen brain-related pathways, making the habit more deeply rooted.
A second examination showed increased synchronization (同步) in many brain areas, including those involved in self-control and self-reflection. This could indicate difficulties stopping videos and increased social comparison. Participants (参与者) who scored higher on a questionnaire measuring “envy” also showed stronger links between video addiction and brain differences, suggesting that either “envy” drives social media use or that extended video-viewing promotes “envy”.
Despite the alarming implications, the study has limitations. Similar concerns about technology’s impact on the brain have surfaced before, such as claims that digital media have posed an existential threat. Yet, no conclusive evidence has proven these fears true. Professor Peter Etchells argues there’s no strong science showing short videos uniquely harm the brain.
A big weakness of the study is its one-time testing method. If the goal were to prove that watching hours of short videos harms the brain, a more effective approach would be to examine participants’ brains before and after they watched different amounts of these videos. But this study only looked at data from one moment in time, without comparing changes over time. There was no before-and-after comparison to show cause and effect. Thus, a healthier approach is to reflect on media habits, making mindful choices while appreciating the benefits of technology.
32. What is “brain rot” according to paragraph 1
A. A real disease proven by doctors. B. A popular trend among young people.
C. A mental state caused by online content. D. A new concern about short videos’ effects.
33. Which is one of the main findings of the research
A. Less ability to compare themselves to others.
B. Worse control over emotions.
C. Harm to brain parts controlling movement.
D. More grey matter in areas for making decisions.
34. The author questions the study’s design primarily for its ______.
A. overemphasis on envy-related data. B. lack of different types of participants.
C. failure to establish cause and effect. D. reliance on subjective measurements.
35. Which is the best title for the text
A. Brain Rot: Real Threat or Overstated Fear
B. Social Media: Mental Activation or Brain Harm
C. Why “Brain Rot” Became Word of the Year
D. How Social Media Reshapes the Human Brain

Ahmed is a sixth-grade student and his older brother Faraz, who studies at a nearby college while working part-time, frequently sends small gifts home, delighting his younger brother with surprises. However, Ahmed would spend so much time playing with these gifts when alone that he became careless with his studies. This was starting to affect his school performance, causing him to fall behind his classmates.
Recently, Ahmed discovered a passion for music and often imagined how amazing it would be to own a pair of high-quality headphones for his favorite songs. As his birthday drew near, he couldn’t stop thinking about those special headphones. When he excitedly called Faraz to ask for them, Faraz promised him a basketball as the birthday gift, but added that the headphones would only come if Ahmed earned good grades that semester.
Determined to earn his reward, Ahmed put away all distractions and buried himself in study every day. Hard work became his routine and sometimes he even missed meals, worrying his mother enough that she began bringing food to his room. As exams approached, Ahmed became so focused that his birthday nearly slipped his mind.
The day of Ahmed’s birthday finally arrived. Early in the morning, his friends showed up at the door and his parents came from behind with a cake. Together, they all cheered, “Happy Birthday!”
The celebration was wonderful, and Ahmed received many gifts, including the basketball that Faraz had promised and mailed since his college schedule kept him away. While pleased with the basketball, Ahmed couldn’t help but wonder about the headphones. Had Faraz hidden them somewhere in the house and planned to give them to him only after the exam results What if his exam results weren’t good enough
After the party, curiosity and anxiety overcame Ahmed. He sneaked (溜) into Faraz’s room where his eyes were immediately drawn to the headphone box. Unable to contain his excitement, Ahmed took it to hide in his own room secretly.
Paragraph 1：
Days passed, and Faraz returned home on the day Ahmed’s exam results were announced.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2：
