26、Professor Ashok Goel of Georgia Tech developed an artificially intelligent teaching assistant to help handle the numerous questions from students in the online class. Professor Goel already had 8 teaching assistants, but that wasn’t enough to deal with the huge number of questions from students.

Many students drop out of online courses for lack of teaching support. When students feel confused and reach out with questions that go unanswered, their motivation to continue begins to fade. Professor Goel decided to do something to change this situation by creating a virtual assistant named Jill Watson, which is based on the IBM Watson platform.

Goel and his team developed several versions of Jill Watson before releasing her to the online forums. At first, the virtual assistant wasn’t too great. But Goel and his team sourced the online discussion forum to find all 40, 000 questions that had ever been asked since the class started. Then they began to feed Jill with the questions and answers. After some adjustment, Jill was able to answer the students’ questions correctly 97% of the time. The virtual assistant became so advanced and realistic that the students didn’t know she was a computer. The students, who were studying artificial intelligence, were interacting with artificial intelligence and couldn’t tell it apart from a real human being. Goel didn’t inform them about Jill’s true identity until April 26. The students were actually very positive about the experience.

The goal of Professor Goel’s virtual assistant next year is to take over answering 40% of all questions raised by students. The name, Jill Watson will of course, change to something else next term. Professor Goel has a much rosier outlook on the future of AI than say, Elon Musk, Stephen Hawking, Bill Gates or Steve Wozniak.

【1】Professor Goel created a virtual teaching assistant because .

A．his course was not interesting enough

B．he felt confused about how to teach online

C．students’ questions were too many to handle

D．his students were unsatisfied with the assistants

【2】What do we learn about Jill Watson?

A．She turned out to be a great success.

B．She was unwelcome to students at first.

C．Her true identity was still a secret to students.

D．Her name will be kept for the next virtual assistant.

【3】What does Professor Goel plan to do next with Jill Watson?

A．Replace her with different versions.

B．Enable her to answer more questions.

C．Recommend her to some famous people.

D．Equip her with new questions and answers.

【4】What’s the main idea of the text?

A．A robot named Jill Watson gives an online course.

B．Robots will take humans’ place in online classes in the future.

C．A virtual teaching assistant is getting popular among the students.

D．A virtual teaching assistant helps solve online questions in large quantities.

27、Most dog owners feel that their dogs are their best friends. Almost everyone likes dogs because they try hard to please their owners. One of my favorite stories is about a dog who wanted his owner to please him.

One of my friends has a large German shepherd (牧羊犬) named Jack. Every Sunday afternoon, my friend takes Jack for a walk in the park. Jack likes these long walks very much. One Sunday afternoon, a young man came to visit my friend. He stayed a long time, and he talked and talked. Soon it was time for my friend to take Jack for his walk, but the visitor didn’t leave. Jack became very worried about his walk in the park. He walked around the room several times and then sat down directly in front of the visitor and looked at him. But the visitor paid no attention. He continued talking. Finally, Jack couldn’t stand it any longer. He went out of the room and came back a few minutes later. He sat down again in front of the visitor, but this time he held the man’s hat in his mouth.

German shepherds aren’t the only intelligent dogs. Another intelligent dog is a Seeing Eye dog. This is a special dog which helps blind people walk along the streets and do many other things. We call these dogs Seeing Eye dogs because they are the“eye”of the blind people and they help them to “see”. Seeing Eye dogs generally go to special schools for several years to learn to help blind people.

【1】The writer tells the story about the dog Jack to show that ________.

A．it, like many other dogs, always tried to please its owner master

B．it, unlike many other dogs, always wanted its master to please it

C．it was more intelligent than many other dogs

D．it was the most faithful dog of his friend’s

【2】Jack came to sit in front of the visitor in order to ________.

A．please him

B．be pleased

C．ask him to leave immediately

D．invite him for a walk

【3】Which of the following titles would be the best for the passage?

A．Dogs─A Great Help to People

B．Dogs ─ Our Faithful Companions

C．An Introduction to Dogs

D．Famous Dogs in Germany

28、An increasingly popular way of eating called reducetarianism may sound like a new weight loss trend. But that’s not the goal; instead, reducetarianism is about cutting down the amount of meat you eat and making small changes that are healthy for you and the planet. “But the vast majority don’t want to go vegan”, says Brian Kateman, co-founder of the Reducetarian Foundation. So he has a simple message for us: “Don’t let perfection be the enemy of the good.” Compared with a vegetarian, reducetarians take a more flexible approach that acknowledges challenges of giving up meat entirely but still limits meat when possible.

The opposite side of eating less meat is eating more plant foods. Animal products often replace fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains, leading to lack of nutrients from them. A more plant-based diet can help lower the risk of health problems including heart disease, colon cancer, and obesity. And research shows the climate impact from raising plant-based foods is less than that caused by animal-based foods. This is largely because it takes much more land, water, and other resources to produce a pound of meat than plant protein, says Dana Ellis, a dietitian.

The type of meat you buy matters too. Grass-fed meat — from animals raised without antibiotics (抗生素) — tend to be the more sustainable options. By grazing, cows encourage grass growth and nutrient turnover in the soil, which may help offset cattle’s climate impact, according to a study published in 2021.

Looking for local produce that requires no air transport and cutting down the food waste are also significant aspects of being a reducetarian. The message of reducetarianism is that you don’t have to be perfect to help yourself and the planet by making small changes in how you eat and shop for food. And that’s something we all can accomplish.

【1】What does reducetarianism refer to?

A．A new weight loss trend.

B．A healthy diet with little meat.

C．An idea of accepting imperfection.

D．An approach to being a vegetarian.

【2】Why should eating more plant foods be encouraged?

A．It ensures all the nutrients needed.

B．It does less damage to the environment.

C．It helps to free people from diseases.

D．It allows people to obtain more protein.

【3】Who is more likely to be a reducetarian according to the passage?

A．A meat lover.

B．A cow raiser.

C．A keen environmentalist.

D．A devoted vegetarian.

【4】What conclusion can be drawn from the last paragraph?

A．Small changes in diet better man and the earth.

B．Any quantity of food waste should be avoided.

C．Reducetarianism is something far from perfect.

D．Food produced locally can offer more nutrition.

29、Overcoming learning disabilities has long been a challenge for educators and students alike. However, recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technology have shown promise in revolutionizing the way we approach education for students with learning disabilities.

One of the most significant ways AI can assist is through the use of adaptive learning systems. These systems use algorithms (算法) to analyze a student’s performance and adjust the learning content and pace accordingly. This personalized approach allows them to progress at their own pace, without feeling overwhelmed or left behind. Furthermore, adaptive learning systems can identify areas where a student may be struggling and provide targeted support.

Another way AI can support them is through natural language processing (NLP) technology. NLP enables computers to understand and interpret human language, allowing AI-powered tools to provide real-time feedback on a student’s written work. This can be particularly beneficial for students with dyslexia, who often struggle with spelling, grammar, and sentence structure. By providing immediate feedback, students can identify and correct their mistakes, leading to improved writing skills and increased confidence.

AI can also play a role in developing their social and emotional skills. Many students with learning disabilities experience social isolation. AI-powered social robots can recognize and respond to human emotions, allowing students to engage in interactive conversations and activities that help develop their social and emotional intelligence.

While the potential benefits of AI in education are clear, it is essential to recognize AI isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Educators must carefully consider the moral implications of using AI in the classroom and ensure these tools are used responsibly and with the best interests of the students in mind. Moreover, it is crucial to remember AI shouldn’t replace human educators but rather serve as a tool to enhance and support their efforts. Teachers play a vital role by providing empathy, understanding, and guidance that cannot be reproduced by a machine. By combining the power of AI with the skills and compassion of human educators, we can create a more inclusive and effective educational environment for all students.

【1】How can adaptive systems help students with learning disabilities?

A．By adjusting their learning methods.

B．By analyzing their learning abilities.

C．By satisfying their curiosity in learning.

D．By offering personalized learning assistance.

【2】What does the underlined word “dyslexia” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A．A mental illness affecting human intelligence.

B．A brain disease leading to lack of confidence in study.

C．A language-related skill applied in the learning process.

D．A learning disorder involving difficulty in reading and writing.

【3】What is the value of AI-powered social robots?

A．Engaging students in learning activities.

B．Narrowing the social distance between people.

C．Assisting learners to overcome social isolation.

D．Helping learners adopt effective reading strategies.

【4】What does the author say about AI in the last paragraph?

A．It can’t provide understanding like human educators.

B．It can’t create an inclusive learning environment.

C．It can meet a wide range of learning needs.

D．It can guarantee learners’ data security.

31、Directions: Fill in each blank with a missing word according to the text.

The benefits of a degree are not obvious to people who live on this remote island. Families have a【1】 lifestyle, hunting walruses, whales and other sea animals in the spring, and gathering berries in the summer. The largest employer is the school system; 【2】, there are only a handful of jobs in fishing, oil and the airlines that connect the island to the mainland. There isn’t much demand for anything else and more than a quarter of adults are 【3】.

Today two villages remain with a population of just 1,400. People there are used to the 【4】landscape and climate—in the summer, fields of grassy frozen ground 【5】 from snow-capped mountain ranges to the stony shorelines, but in the winter the sun disappears, there is a lot of snow, and polar bears arrive on ice floes. Leaving the island is not an option, as a ticket on a bush plane costs $400, a week’s earnings for many islanders. The sense of 【6】is strong. When a whale is killed, the houses and school empty as everyone races to the beach to take a share of the meat.
