The integratin f artificial intelligence (AI) in educatinal technlgy (EdTech) has brught incmparable cnvenience and efficiency t classrms wrldwide. Hwever, despite these advancements, it is crucial t recgnize the challenges these AI-driven tls pse t the autnmy and prfessinal judgment f instructrs.
One f its primary cncerns is the depersnalizatin f instructin. These tls ften rely n pre-packaged digital cntent and standardized slutins, leaving insufficient rm fr instructrs t tailr their teaching methds. Each student pssesses unique characteristics. Instructrs, armed with their wealth f experience and knwledge, are best psitined t tailr their appraches t these individual needs. Hwever, AI-driven tls restrict their ability t d s effectively, resulting in a ne-size-fits-all apprach that fails t inspire students t reach their maximum ptential.
EdTech cmpanies ffer step-by-step slutins t textbk prblems. These are intended t act as study aids. Hwever, sme students emply this feature as a means t merely cpy slutins withut cmprehending cncepts. Cnsequently, instances f cheating n assignments and exams becme widespread. While these tls may ffer cnvenience, students may use external resurces r cperate with thers during quizzes, affecting the hnesty f their learning utcmes.
The implicatins f this depersnalizatin and the increase in academic dishnesty are far-reaching. By decreasing the rle f instructrs as facilitatrs f meaningful educatinal interactins, we run the risk f preventing the grwth f critical thinking and prblem-slving skills amng students. Educatin shuld nt nly fcus n knwledge acquisitin, but shuld als develp the ability t analyze, evaluate, and apply that knwledge in real-wrld cntexts. It shuld help ne’s mind grw, nt simply memrize infrmatin. Thrugh dynamic classrm discussins, cperative prjects, and hands-n activities, instructrs play a crucial rle in develping these essential skills.
While AI-driven EdTech tls undeniably have their virtues, we must nt lse sight f the imprtance f preserving instructr autnmy and educatinal experience. Instead f relying nly n pre-packaged cntent and standardized slutins, these tls shuld be designed t empwer instructrs t adapt and custmize their appraches while taking full advantage f the benefits f technlgy.
8. What d the underlined wrds “the depersnalizatin f instructin” in paragraph 2 refer t?
A. Tailred methds fr individuals.B. Instructrs’ dependence n Al.
C. Insufficient resurces f Al-driven tls.D. The ne-size-fits-all apprach.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人工智能与教育技术的融合为世界各地的课堂带来了无与伦比的便利和效率。然而，尽管取得了这些进步，但认识到这些人工智能驱动的工具对教师的自主性和专业判断构成的挑战至关重要。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“Each student pssesses unique characteristics. Instructrs, armed with their wealth f experience and knwledge, are best psitined t tailr their appraches t these individual needs. Hwever, AI-driven tls restrict their ability t d s effectively, resulting in a ne-size-fits-all apprach that fails t inspire students t reach their maximum ptential. (每个学生都有自己独特的特点。教师拥有丰富的经验和知识，最适合为这些个人需求量身定制他们的方法。然而，人工智能驱动的工具限制了他们有效地做到这一点的能力，导致一刀切的方法无法激发学生发挥最大潜力)”可知，每个学生都有自己独特的特点，人工智能采用一刀切的方法无法激发学生发挥最大潜力。由此可知，划线词组the depersnalizatin f instructin (教学的去人格化)指的是The ne-size-fits-all apprach (一刀切的方法)。故选D。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“Hwever, sme students emply this feature as a means t merely cpy slutins withut cmprehending cncepts. Cnsequently, instances f cheating n assignments and exams becme widespread. While these tls may ffer cnvenience, students may use external resurces r cperate with thers during quizzes, affecting the hnesty f their learning utcmes. (然而，一些学生利用这一特点作为一种手段，只是复制解决方案，而不理解概念。因此，在作业和考试中作弊的情况变得普遍。虽然这些工具提供了便利，但学生可能会在测试过程中使用外部资源或与他人合作，从而影响他们学习成果的诚实)”可知，第三段主要介绍了另一个问题。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“By decreasing the rle f instructrs as facilitatrs f meaningful educatinal interactins, we run the risk f preventing the grwth f critical thinking and prblem-slving skills amng students. Educatin shuld nt nly fcus n knwledge acquisitin, but shuld als develp the ability t analyze, evaluate, and apply that knwledge in real-wrld cntexts. It shuld help ne’s mind grw, nt simply memrize infrmatin. (通过减少教师作为有意义的教育互动促进者的角色，我们冒着阻碍学生批判性思维和解决问题技能发展的风险。教育不应该只关注知识的获取，还应该培养分析、评价和在现实环境中应用知识的能力。它应该帮助一个人的思维成长，而不仅仅是记忆信息)”可推知，在人工智能驱动的EdTech教育中，学生在思维能力方面受到的影响最大。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“While AI-driven EdTech tls undeniably have their virtues, we must nt lse sight f the imprtance f preserving instructr autnmy and educatinal experience. Instead f relying nly n pre-packaged cntent and standardized slutins, these tls shuld be designed t empwer instructrs t adapt and custmize their appraches while taking full advantage f the benefits f technlgy. (虽然人工智能驱动的教育技术工具无可否认有其优点，但我们不能忽视保留教师自主权和教育经验的重要性。这些工具的设计不应仅仅依赖于预先打包的内容和标准化的解决方案，而应使教师能够在充分利用技术优势的同时适应和定制他们的方法)”可推知，人工智能驱动的教育技术工具应该支持教师的自主权。故选D。

Ancient builders acrss the wrld created structures that are still standing tday, thusands f years later. Yet the cncrete that makes up much f ur mdern wrld has a lifespan f arund 50 t 100 years. A grwing number f scientists have been studying materials frm lng-ag eras, hping t uncver hw they’ve held up fr millennia.
Many researchers have turned t the Rmans fr inspiratin. Starting arund 200 BCE the architects f the Rman Empire were building impressive cncrete structures that have std the test f time. Even in harbrs, where seawater has been battering structures fr ages, yu’ll find cncrete basically the way it was when it was pured 2,000 years ag. Mst mdern cncrete starts with Prtland cement, a pwder made by heating limestne and clay t super-high temperatures and crushing them. That cement is mixed with water t create a chemically reactive paste. Then, blcks f material like rck and gravel are added, and the cement paste mixes them int a cncrete mass. Accrding t recrds frm ancient architects, the Rman prcess was similar. The ancient builders mixed materials like burnt limestne and vlcanic sand with water and gravel, creating chemical reactins t stick everything tgether.
In a study published earlier this year, Admir Masic, a civil and envirnmental engineer, prpsed that this pwer cmes frm blcks f lime that are scattered thrughut the Rman material instead f being mixed in evenly. Researchers used t think these blcks were a sign that the Rmans weren’t mixing up their materials well enugh. Instead, after analyzing cncrete samples frm Privernum—an ancient city utside f Rme — the scientists fund that the blcks culd fuel the material’s “self-healing” abilities. When cracks frm, water is able t flw int the cncrete, Masic explained. That water activates the leftver lime, leading t new chemical reactins that can fill in the damaged sectins.
The ancient architectures suggested using extracts frm lcal chukum and jite trees in the lime mix. When researchers tested ut the recipe, they fund the resulting plaster was especially durable against physical and chemical damage.
Studies have fund all kinds f natural materials mixed int structures frm lng ag: fruit extracts, milk, cheese curd, beer, even dung and urine. The paste that hlds tgether sme f China’s mst famus structures—including the Great Wall and the Frbidden City — includes traces f sticky rice.
“Sme f these ancient builders might have just gtten lucky”, said Cecilia Pesce, a materials scientist at the University f Sheffield in England, “They’d thrw just abut anything int their mixes, as lng as it was cheap and available.”
Tday’s builders can’t just cpy the ancient recipes. Even thugh Rman cncrete lasted a lngtime, it culdn’t hld up heavy lads: “Yu culdn’t build a mdern skyscraper with Rman cncrete,” Cecilia said. “It wuld cllapse.” Instead, researchers are trying t take sme f the ancient material’s specialties and add them int mdern mixes.
12. Which f the fllwing statements is TRUE accrding t the passage?
A. Lime blcks in Rman cncrete indicate pr mixing f materials.
B. Ancient Rman cncrete structures have witnessed a lng histry.
C. Mdern builders are cnfused abut the Rman methd f cnstructin.
D. The cncrete used in mdern structures has a lifespan f ver 200 years.
13. What is prpsed as a pssible explanatin fr the self-healing abilities f Rman cncrete?
A. The unifrm mixing f lime in the cncrete.
B. The use f extracts frm chukum and jite trees.
C. The additin f whatever was within reach in the mix.
D. The scattering f blcks f lime thrughut the material.
14. The passage mentins that tday’s builders can’t simply cpy ancient recipes because ______.
A. ancient recipes were nt well-dcumented
B. ancient materials were t expensive
C. ancient materials culdn’t hld up heavy lads
D. ancient builders used materials that are n lnger available
15. Accrding t the passage, why d sme researchers believe ancient builders included varius natural materials in their mixes?
A. T enhance the beauty f the structures.
B. T make the cnstructin prcess mre cst-effective.
C. T create structures that were resistant t chemical damage.
D. T fllw ancient traditins withut cnsidering effectiveness.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了世界各地的古代建筑者所建造的建筑在几千年后的今天仍然屹立不倒的原因。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Starting arund 200 BCE, the architects f the Rman Empire were building impressive cncrete structures that have std the test f time. Even in harbrs, where seawater has been battering structures fr ages, yu’ll find cncrete basically the way it was when it was pured 2,000 years ag.(从公元前200年左右开始，罗马帝国的建筑师们开始建造令人印象深刻的混凝土结构，这些结构经受住了时间的考验。即使是在海港里，海水冲刷建筑物已经有很长时间了，你也会发现混凝土基本上还是2000年前浇筑时的样子)”可知，古罗马混凝土结构见证了悠久的历史。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“In a study published earlier this year, Admir Masic, a civil and envirnmental engineer, prpsed that this pwer cmes frm blcks f lime that are scattered thrughut the Rman material instead f being mixed in evenly. Researchers used t think these blcks were a sign that the Rmans weren’t mixing up their materials well enugh.

When cracks frm, water is able t flw int the cncrete, Masic explained. That water activates the leftver lime, leading t new chemical reactins that can fill in the damaged sectins. (在今年早些时候发表的一项研究中，土木和环境工程师Admir Masic提出，这种能量来自分散在罗马材料中的石灰块，而不是均匀混合在一起。研究人员过去认为，这些石块表明罗马人没有很好地混合材料。相反，在分析了Privernum——罗马以外的一个古老城市——的混凝土样本后，科学家们发现这些砖块可以促进材料的“自我修复”能力。Masic解释说，当裂缝形成时，水就会流入混凝土中。这些水激活了剩余的石灰，导致新的化学反应，可以填补受损的部分)”可知，遍布材料的石灰块使得罗马混凝土具有自我修复的能力。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Even thugh Rman cncrete lasted a lngtime, it culdn’t hld up heavy lads: “Yu culdn’t build a mdern skyscraper with Rman cncrete,” Cecilia said. “It wuld cllapse.”(尽管罗马混凝土使用了很长时间，但它无法承受沉重的负荷:“你无法用罗马混凝土建造一座现代摩天大楼，”塞西莉亚说。“它会崩溃。”)”可知，今天的建造者不能简单地复制古代的方法，因为古代的材料不能承受沉重的负荷。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““Sme f these ancient builders might have just gtten lucky”, said Cecilia Pesce, a materials scientist at the University f Sheffield in England, “They’d thrw just abut anything int their mixes, as lng as it was cheap and available.”(英国谢菲尔德大学的材料科学家Cecilia Pesce说：“一些古代建造者可能只是运气好，他们会把任何东西都扔进混合物里，只要便宜、容易买到。”)”可推知，一些研究人员认为，古代建筑者在他们的混合物中加入了各种天然材料，以使施工过程更具成本效益。故选B。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位外国友人对中国公园的认识和感受。
【36题详解】
考查副词。句意：在中国，它们是完全不同的概念。分析句子结构可知，空处修饰空后的形容词different，所以要用括号内单词的副词形式。故填ttally。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意：对我这个外国人来说，它们是一个很好的隐喻，说明一个社会如何在不失去将其和谐地联系在一起的传统价值观的情况下向现代发展。serve as是固定短语，意为“充当”。故填as。
【38题详解】
考查连词。句意：这是一个小而美丽的公园，所以有一天，我决定买一些饺子，坐在那里的长凳上吃午饭。由空前的small和空后的beautiful可知，空处前后均为形容词，且理解语境可知，此处表示“这是一个小但美丽的公园”，所以空处要用表转折的并列连词but/yet。故填but/yet。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意：一种和平与和谐的感觉立即笼罩着我，尽管我是在一个大型科技城市的中心。根据空后的名词词组sense f peace可知，此处泛指“一种平和的感觉”，应用不定冠词，且空后的immediate是发音以元音音素开头的单词，空处位于句首，单词首字母应大写。故填An。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意：我默默地感谢公园的设计师们创造了这样一个绿洲，在这里，无论一个人有多大的压力，他都能感受到平静。根据空后的“fr creating such an asis (乐土)”可知，此处是thank sb fr ding sth结构，应用指人的名词designer，公园的设计师可能不止一名，所以也可用名词的复数形式。故填designer/designers。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：我默默地感谢公园的设计师们创造了这样一个绿洲，在这里，无论一个人有多大的压力，他都能感受到平静。分析句子结构可知，空处引导的是非限制性定语从句，该从句的先行词是表示地点的“asis (乐土) ”，且空处在从句中作地点状语，所以应用where引导该定语从句。故填where。
【42题详解】
考查时态。句意：随着夜幕降临，情侣们开始准备跳舞，父母们和孩子们一起玩耍，狂热的人们正在放飞一些我所见过的最令人印象深刻的风筝。分析句子结构可知，空处在从句中作谓语，因为主句中的谓语动词是started，所以从句也应用一般过去时。故填fell。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意：随着夜幕降临，情侣们开始准备跳舞，父母们和孩子们一起玩耍，狂热的人们正在放飞一些我所见过的最令人印象深刻的风筝。分析句子结构可知，空前有the mst，空后是名词kites，所以此处要用impress的形容词形式。故填impressive。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：然后我意识到公园不仅仅是一个放松的地方，也是一个表达自己的地方。分析句子结构可知，此处用不定式充当定语，以修饰前面的名词place。故填t relax。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在公园里，人们磨练自己的才能，体验生命的纯粹快乐。分析句子结构可知，句中已有谓语hned，空处应填非谓语动词。experience与其逻辑主语peple是主谓关系，此处用现在分词充当伴随状语。故填experiencing。
