I sat by the river, watching children play in the water. Their laughter reminded me of my childhood—— the days in my life. Above us, kites danced between the clouds-red dragons, yellow butterflies, with their strings(线) held tight by proud parents. Suddenly,I realized why I missed this place so much-it held all my warm .

19、阅读下面短文,简略回答问题。
Artificial intelligence(AI) is changing the way we learn and take tests at school. This brings both good things and new problems.
Tests are a very important part of learning. In the past, tests were mostly used to give students a final grade. But now, many teachers believe tests should also help students learn during the whole process(过程), not just at the end.
With AI tools, we have a chance to redesign tests to make them more personalized and useful for each student. For example, AI can help grade papers quickly, give feedback(反馈) right away, and create questions that fit each student's level. This way, you can learn more easily and in a way that's right for you.
However, some people are worried that some students depend on AI too much instead of thinking deeply. That's because AI makes it easier to copy or get answers without effort.
So how can we use AI wisely in education? Two ideas can help us. The first is the Zone of ProximalDevelopment(最近发展区). This means the difference between what students can do alone and what they can do with help. AI can act as a helper or a teacher, giving support when students face difficult tasks.But if students just let AI do the work, they won't really learn. The second idea is Assessment(评估) forLearning. This means using tests to help students grow and improve, not just to give them grades. AI can support this by giving feedback and helping students see how they are doing.
In short, AI offers great tools for learning, but we must use them in the right way.
(1)、What were tests mostly used for in the past?(2)、How can AI tools make tests more personalized and useful?(3)、What are people worried about when it comes to using AI in education?(4)、What does the"Assessment for learning" mean?(5)、Will you use AI to help you study? Why or why not? -
20、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Does news have the same influence on everyone? In the past, whether people watched TV news,read newspapers, or listened to the radio, everyone received the same information. But now, many of us get our daily news mostly from social media, and it can be very different for each person.
On social media, the posts we see aren't chosen by people. Instead, they' re in the hands of computer programs, which are run by the companies behind the apps or websites.
As you use these apps and websites, they may quietly collect your personal information. They may follow your searches and your"likes", among other things. Over time, they get a clear idea of your prefer-ences. They can provide what they think you' ll enjoy. If a news story doesn't match your interests, you might never see it. As a result, you may only see a very small part of the world. This is called a filter bubble.
Living inside a filter bubble is like wearing glasses that only allow you to see one color. The real world is much more colorful than that. Can we break free from our bubbles to see the full picture? The answer is yes. Here are three tips you can try:
Discover and use different sources. Don't only use your usual websites. Use different ones, including those you' ve heard of but not yet tried.
Share your ideas with others. Don't trust everything online. It's helpful to talk with people in your real life. Share what you read, and discuss their sources.
▲ Remember that not everyone sees the world the same way. Read posts and articles written by people you disagree with. It helps you understand the bigger picture, even if it doesn't change your mind.
(1)、What was the common characteristic of news in the past?A、It paid great attention to people's interests. B、It offered people a complete picture of the world. C、It helped people see the colorful real world. D、It showed the same things to everyone.(2)、How do computer programs learn about our interests?A、By recording the time we spend on each post. B、By following our searches and likes over time. C、By reading our personal information and messages. D、By guessing them based on our age and location.(3)、What does the underlined phrase"filter bubble" probably mean?A、A type of social media app. B、A special kind of new glasses. C、A situation where you see only what you like. D、A problem caused by unreal news.(4)、Which of the following can be put in ▲ ?A、Keep an open mind. B、Accept popular ideas. C、Use different websites. D、Follow new voices.(5)、Which can be a proper title for the text?A、The Filter Bubble in Social Media B、The Advice on Filter Bubble C、The Sources of Daily News D、The Future of News Reporting
