There is great excitement and argument over Artificial Intelligence(AD). The argument about whether robots will replace teachers in the classroom is very heated. Some people think it is sure to happen in the next ten years. Others think that the value a good teacher brings, not only to the classroom setting, but in developing a child's confidence and creativity outside lessons, cannot be easily replaced.
AI is not new for us and is already being used successfully in many fields, such as medicine, science and so on. So what does this mean for our future? In my view, AI will help kids to think more freely and creatively. Can Al possibly cut down the teaching work in the future? Of course. Our teachers are always busy preparing for their lessons. Just imagine how happy they will be if they don't have to correct hundreds of papers, but instead, have this task or others done by machines.
However, most importantly, I do not believe AI will be able to imitate the human mental condition totally, especially emotional intelligence(情商). What makes learning unforgettable is shared experience, human interaction, and long-lasting positive relationships. For example, experienced teachers can comfort a student if he has suffered a serious loss. But no research shows that robots can imitate this well.
I also believe we need to develop our kids' personality and their abilities not only to make decisions but also make the right decision. To achieve this, relying only on AI is impossible.
In short, AI has both its advantages and disadvantages. To what degree can teachers use AI in their classes? Teachers can have all the information they want with the help of AI, but great teachers will also need to depend on their own feelings.
(1)、How does the writer start the passage?A、By telling a story. B、By comparing different views. C、By pointing out his opinion. D、By giving some suggestions.(2)、What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A、The successful usage of AI in many fields. B、Teachers can help kids think more freely and creatively than AI. C、AI helps teachers to correct hundreds of papers. D、How helpful AI will be to both students and teachers.(3)、What's the meaning of the underlined word "imitate" in Paragraph 3?A、imagine. B、Produce. C、Control. D、Copy.(4)、Which of the following may the writer agree with?A、Relationships can make learning unforgettable. B、We need to develop our kids' abilities to learn. C、Teachers can't be replaced by AI completely. D、AI shouldn't be allowed in today's classes. -

As the weather changes from day to day , sometimes it's impossible to avoid catching a cold or the flu. However, that doesn't mean we have to suffer terribly. Since the only way to get better from a cold is to go through the process, many natural remedies(疗法)have helped to reduce the symptom(症状)of the common cold.
If you catch a cold, you should drink something warm. Add honey and lemon to hot water or tea. You will keep warm while you' re drinking tea. In traditional Chinese medicine, ginger(姜)has been used for over two thousand years. A cup of ginger tea helps to increase the blood move and make you sweat through your body.
Garlic(大蒜)is a super food. Garlic helps to fight off germs(细菌)when eaten daily. It can reduce the number of colds you get each year and shorten cold symptoms. If you don't mind eating uncooked garlic, it's best to eat a few pieces every three to four hours when you feel the first signs of a cold.
It's no secret that salt gets rid of germs. For a sore throat, mix about half a teaspoon of salt into warm water and use it as a mouthwash. Whether it's for breakfast, lunch or dinner, the Japanese enjoy umeboshi, sour and salty apricots(杏子)that help keep the doctor away. Using a neti pot is an old practice from India that helps people breathe better. As a mixture of salt and water pours into the nose, the germs are cleared away.
Although cutting an onion can make you cry, it's good for a blocked nose. People in Mexico and Spain eat hot peppers to get their sense of smell back temporarily during a cold. Of course, you'd better be ready to experience a wave of heat! In South Korea, kimchi is a popular side dish that keeps people healthy. It's made from pickle vegetables, red hot sauce and sometimes garlic and ginger.
It is common to have a cold, and Mother Nature's remedies will be there for you to lower your pain when you need to fight against that cold!
(1)、This passage mentions the natural remedies in ____ countries.A、tour B、five C、six D、seven(2)、What does the underlined word "It" in Paragraph 3 refer to?A、The garlic. B、The germ, C、The cold. D、The symptom,(3)、What can we learn from the passage?A、A neti pot is always used to keep warm. B、Ginger is newly found to be good for health. C、Kimchi is a main dish made from vegetables. D、Umeboshi is salty and sour apricots Japanese like.(4)、What's the best title for the passage?A、How to Avoid a Cold or the Flu B、Natural Remedies for Common Colds C、Vegetables Help with Colds D、Different Medicine Around the World D -

When Laura was twelve, she started taking classes at Miss Grace's School for Art. At first, she didn't enjoy it. The"novice artists"-the kids who hadn't really done art before-worked mostly with clay, and Laura didn't do well in it.
It wasn't until her third year that Laura found something she was really good at-charcoal drawing(素描). She loved watching the lines spread across the page as she moved the charcoal back and forth over the paper.
One day, Sophia, the best artist in her class, sat down and set up her easel(画架)next to Laura. Laura felt uneasy. She'd actually found an art form that she enjoyed-and was good at-and now Sophia was going to outshine(胜过)her again. Laura fought back tears when Miss Grace entered the room.
"Hello, class, " Miss Grace said. "We' ll continue to work on the project today. " What masterpiece(杰作)would Sophia have come up with?
Laura looked at Sophia's easel and she couldn't believe it--it was a mess! For a brief moment, Laura couldn't actually believe her drawing was better than Sophia's. But then she looked at Sophia, who was watching Laura with an anxious expression.
"I . . . I couldn't decide what to do, " Sophia said. "And you' re so good. Sometimes I feel like my work is just so bad in comparison. "
Laura looked to see if Sophia was joking, but she seemed completely serious. Now Laura was shocked and said, "I'm not talented . . . Miss Grace seldom praises me. You' re the best one in our class!"
Sophia raised her eyebrows and said, "I might be a really good copier, but I have no idea what to do when it comes to making up my own images. You are so great at making new things out of the old ones. I' ve loved your works. "
"I' ve loved yours, too, " Laura said.
" Well, definitely not this one, " Sophia said.

Mr. Jackson
Hello, everyone. Our class raised $825 through our activities at the school fair(义卖会)last month. Once again, huge thanks to all of you. Now the big question is: How do we spend the money? I want to hear your ideas and the reasons. Over to you . . . !
Nacho
I think we should spend the money on some new computers for the computer room. Last week we had to share the computers. What does everyone else think?
Pablo
Nacho, I can see your point but $825 would only buy about three small computers. I think it is better to spend the money on some new equipment for the table tennis club. This Wednesday one of the tables broke.
Mr. Jackson
Good points. Thanks for your ideas. What do other people think?
Mari
I think it's a good idea to buy some sports equipment, but not for the table tennis club. Only five of the class are members of it and we should spend the money on something everyone likes.
Daniel
I agree. How about our end-of-term celebration? Everyone in the class would like that!
Mr. Jackson
Thanks for your idea, Daniel, but I think that's too much money to spend on our end-of-term celebration! Maybe we can use some of the money for the celebration and the rest for something else. What do you think?
