My Views on the Use of AI Assistants in Learning
Recently, an increasing number of students in our class have started using AI assistants for learning tasks. While this may seem efficient, it raises concerns about its long-term impact on learning quality.
Although AI assistants can provide helpful support, over-reliance on them may limit students’ ability to think critically and solve problems independently. When students skip the process of exploring and understanding on their own, their knowledge tends to remain shallow. To address this, I suggest that AI should be used as a supportive tool rather than a primary resource. By using it wisely and only when needed, students can benefit from its help while still developing essential thinking skills.
In conclusion, balancing AI use with active learning is the key to making it truly beneficial.

Suddenly, a familiar figure came into my camera lens. It was Dad, standing at the end of the street, dressed warmly against the cold, watching me with a gentle smile. In his hand was a delicate wooden box. My heart skipped a beat as I realized he had come for my birthday. I lowered my phone, feeling a warmth that surpassed the snow's chill. We locked eyes for a moment, and then he slowly walked towards me, showing me the wooden box and breaking the silence with a “Happy Birthday, son.”
I opened the beautifully crafted wooden box. Inside lay a handmade leather wallet, each stitch meticulously done.Tears welled up in my eyes as I recognized my father's touch. He had always been there, in his own way, expressing his love through his craft. “I know I’ve been busy, but I wanted to make something special for you,” he said softly. That moment, all my doubts melted away, replaced by a deep understanding of the love that had never truly left.颐华学校入学检测

A
Garden enthusiasts, get ready for an exciting year ahead! The US Garden Shows 2025 will highlight breathtaking flower arrangements, innovative landscaping ideas, and the latest gardening trends.
Choosing the Right Shows
Pick shows that match your interests. The Northeast offers classic flower displays. Northwest exhibitions highlight native species. Southwest shows focus on desert plants. Check show dates carefully. Some run for just a day or weekend, while others last a week or more. Think about what you want to see most.
Ticketing and Entrance Fees
Buy tickets early as the shows offer discounts for advance purchases. Some shows have multi-day passes if you want to visit more than once.
Prices vary by show and location. VIP or preview night tickets often cost more but give you early access. Some shows include free workshops with admission.
Travel Tips
If you’re flying, compare prices at different airports. Some cities have multiple options. Rental cars give you freedom to explore, but parking can be tricky at show venues.
Volunteering Opportunities
Helping out at garden shows is a fun way to meet people and learn new skills. Many events need volunteers to greet guests, answer questions, or help with setting up the exhibitions.
Check show websites or social media to find out how to sign up. Volunteering often comes with free entry and behind-the-scenes access. It’s a great way to network while you’re supporting the gardening community.
21. What might be a benefit of buying tickets early
A. Reduced prices. B. Multi-day admission.
C. Flexible show dates. D. Guaranteed free workshops.
22. Being a volunteer of the events, you can ________.
A. run a social media account B. enjoy free Internet service
C. approve exhibit layouts D. develop your social ties
23. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text
A. To attract exhibition volunteers. B. To sell flowers and plants.
C. To share information on garden events. D. To offer practical tips for travelers.
B
I still recall typing essays on a beloved typewriter during my first year of university, gradually shifting to the first computer and email. The Internet's arrival was gradual, like a child growing before our eyes, with qualities that were both predictable and unknown. As it became a global reality, predictions about its impact grew—covering research, communication, education, and the transformation of writing, learning, and memory.
The Internet, once a novelty but now an ordinary part of life, has ceased to surprise us and has developed into a deep dependence, with some falling into addiction. It integrates communication, knowledge, entertainment, and business into a single, accessible medium, making it as common as the telephone while distancing us from the world we once knew. This realization often strikes me as I find myself absorbed in front of a screen, even though surrounded by books, struggling to assess its true impact on my life.
I often find myself torn between appreciating the convenience of the Internet and being horrified by the dependence it promotes. The rapid pace and accessibility of information, along with social networking, have lessened our need to move in the real world. The Internet has reduced our existence to a screen, leaving little space for slowness, privacy, and peace, while the world I knew as a child, in books, contrasts sharply with the fast-paced, artificial realities of the digital world.
While technologies shape the real world, few have so deeply affected our minds. For those born after the Internet's rise, it is all they know, while for those of us who lived in a pre-Internet age, the difference is striking. Perhaps teaching history and the evolution of technology in schools could help children understand that their technology, as deeply integrated into their lives as it seems, is just one part of the universe.
24. What does the author imply by comparing the Internet's growth to a child's
A. Its complexity. B. Its anticipation. C. Its slowness. D.Its inescapability.
25. What impact does the author think the Internet has had
A. More unfamiliarity with others. B. Less physical interaction.
C. An apparent lack of books. D. A very noisy world.
26. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Technology defines all. B. The old era is better.
C. The world exists beyond technology. D. Generations shape internet trends.
27. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. The Rise of the Internet B. The Internet's Role in Modern Life
C. Shifting Realities: The Internet's Impact D. Typewriters to Screens: Digital Shift
C
In the heartland of Japan, where endless green rice fields paint the landscape like a living blanket, a remarkable form of artistry has emerged --- rice paddy art, a practice that transforms ordinary farmland into colourful artworks. While children and adults alike are delighted by the surprisingly complex images, one might wonder: what makes the art a reality
The secret lies in the rice shoots(秧苗). As the plants of different varieties grow, each type progressively turns a different colour --- ranging from shades of green to purple or gold --- to bring an artwork to life. These colorful blocks and lines in fields form vivid designs: towering mountains, lovely animals, and even famous characters from movies and cartoons, which are easily recognizable from high places.
The tradition of the paddy art can trace back to just three decades ago in Inakadate, a small Japanese village where rice has been grown for over 2,000 years. The locals got the idea from the sight of children’s multi-colored paintings of rice paddies, then transformed the concept and experimented with it in rice planting. Their efforts paid off. The paddy fields became tourist attractions, greatly boosting the local economy.
Creating such art is no simple task. It begins with thorough planning: artists draft detailed blueprints, mapping out exactly the location for each rice variety. Farmers and volunteers then work side by side, carefully planting rice shoots in accordance with the plan. Over months, the fields demand constant care --- weeding, watering, and protecting the crops.
While Inakadate remains the birthplace of rice paddy art, it now extends widely across Japan. The practice is also becoming all the rage in other countries. In Thailand, one man even arranged for a custom piece of art that spelt out a message asking his girlfriend to marry him.
Beyond serving as a striking visual display, the paddy art symbolizes harmony between tradition and innovation. It invites families to experience the beauty of farming, supports rural communities through tourism, and proves that even the ancient practice can adapt to modern creativity --- all while keeping nature at its core.

A new groundbreaking study reveals a landmark breakthrough in the field of snakebite treatment. Researchers, led by David Baker from the University of Washington, have designed new proteins --- unlike any found in nature --- that can inactivate some of the most poisonous components of snake bite toxins (毒素).
Snakebites represent a substantial global health issue, affecting millions of people each year. According to the World Health Organization, over 2 million people suffer from snakebites annually, with more than 100,000 deaths and 300,000 cases of permanent disabilities. Current treatment options, mainly obtained from animal blood, often present drawbacks, including high production costs, limited efficiency, and severe side effects, such as causing shock and breathing difficulties.
In light of these challenges, Baker and his team have made effective use of deep learning tools to develop artificial proteins capable of attaching to and inactivating toxins. The study focuses on a specific group of snake proteins known as three-finger toxins. These toxins often bypass the immune(免疫的) system, making conventional treatments ineffective. Notably, the newly designed proteins provide significant protection against deadly amounts of three-finger toxins in mice, achieving survival rates ranging from 80% to 100%.
By avoiding the lengthy and resource-intensive processes associated with conventional antibody development, this approach could lead to more accessible and affordable treatments. Also, the new proteins are smaller, allowing for greater penetration (渗透) into body systems to quickly inactivate the toxins and reduce damage. The efficiency and speed at which these proteins can be designed and produced using AI indicate a transformative shift in drug discovery processes, especially in resource-limited settings.
While the study’s findings are encouraging, the researchers acknowledge that traditional antitoxins will remain central to snakebite treatment for the near future. The newly created computer-designed antitoxins can be integrated into existing treatment as additions, enhancing the overall effectiveness of established treatments. Meanwhile, scientists believe the new methods employed in this study could be beneficial to tackling other diseases, potentially leading to the emergence of less expensive medicines for various health challenges.
32. Which is a shortcoming of the current snakebite treatments
A. They mainly rely on animal blood. B. They are effective in certain regions.
C. They can lead to serious health risks. D. They may leave toxins in patients’ bodies.
33. How did Baker’s team deal with the current challenges
A. By inventing deep learning tools. B. By identifying more snake toxins.
C. By enhancing the immune system. D.By designing AI-generated proteins.
34. What is paragraph 4 mainly about concerning Baker’s new study
A. Its advantages. B. Its strategies. C. Its procedures. D. Its limitations.
35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. The existing approaches are hard to change.
B. The conventional treatments are out of date.
C. The new methods might enlighten other treatments.
D. The new antitoxins will be the core of future methods.

It was my 18th birthday and the sky was blanketed with a gentle snowfall, creating a quiet atmosphere. It seemed like an age since we last saw the ground so fantastically carpeted, just like last year when I spent the whole day expecting Dad to come back. The snowflakes(雪花) danced gracefully in the cold winter breeze. I stood there, lost in thought.
When I was young, my father, who was an expert at handicraft, was my hero and my inspiration. However, he had seldom communicated with me since I was in middle school. Despite my longing for a connection with him, he had always been distant due to his busy work schedule. My Mum always told me that busy though Dad was, he was really concerned about me. But I couldn’t help but feel that he didn’t like me anymore. Otherwise, why would he have ignored me for such a long time
“Why not take a walk before your birthday party ” Mum interrupted my thoughts, “Sure, Mum!” The common scenes in streets looked so familiar to me, each marked with my happy childhood. The snowflakes continued to dance, painting a still scene outside. “Amazing!” I couldn’t help uttering. I reached into my pocket and pulled out my mobile phone to capture the beauty of nature frozen in time. My heart leapt with joy and some expectations as if a dream were stirring inside.
