A New Era of Learning
Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping childhood in far-reaching ways. From school to home, AI is changing
how children learn, play and form relationships. It brings benefits but also dangers.
AI in Education
AI use in schools has become common. Here is the result of a survey (see the chart below) from the RAND
Corporation, a research organisation.
Governments are supporting this trend. The United States encourages schools to integrate AI fundamentals
into all subjects. Singapore has introduced AI lessons in primary schools. In Hangzhou, children receive at least ten
hours of annual instruction in AI.
Teachers use AI to generate quizzes as well as personalised assignments for students. A trial in 68 secondary
schools in England found that science teachers equipped with ChatGPT could reduce their weekly lesson-planning
time by nearly a third.
Risks and Concerns
Despite the benefits, there are worries. Some believe AI may weaken children’s thinking skills. A survey
found that 21% of primary and secondary students said they would rather rely on AI than think independently.
Researchers at MIT found that students using ChatGPT while writing essays showed less brain activity and were
less able to recall what they had written.
Classroom learning remains important. Whole-class learning may be slower than AI-powered personalised
tutoring, but it enhances children’s skills like interacting, cooperating and reaching an agreement — “things that an
AI tutor could short-circuit”, says Julia Kaufman of RAND．
Moving Forward
Schools need to guide students on how to use AI. AI tools should be designed to encourage thinking, not just
provide answers. With cautious use, AI can be a helpful partner in education. But the human elements of learning
— connection, conversation and cooperation — remain irreplaceable.
1．What percentage of students in US got help from AI during 2024 and 2025?
A．25%.
B．36%.
C．61%.
D．69%.
2．What advantage does AI show in the example in Paragraph 4?
A．Better planning. B．Personalised lesson. C．More interaction.
D．Improved efficiency.
3．What is the suggestion raised in the passage for AI application?
A．Interaction should be added into AI.
B．Parental guidance should be provided.
C．Diverse AI tools should be designed.
D．Students should be taught to use AI properly.

Colors are undeniably a fundamental part of our lives. Yet they carry meanings far beyond mere shades —
they are deeply symbolic. Across many cultures, and particularly in the practice of Feng Shui, colors are associated
with the five foundational elements that compose the universe: Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, and Wood.
This connection is given special significance because each of the eight directions — North, South, East,
West, Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, and Southwest — is governed by one of these five elements. Therefore,
colors, as South representations of the elements, can be purposefully used to influence and harmonize the energy of
a particular space or direction.
Understanding the role of color in Feng Shui is not only about aesthetics (美学); it reflects a broader global
awareness of how color interacts with environment and energy.
But remember, while these systems offer symbolic guidance, true harmony begins with listening to your own
feelings and taking action in your own space.
1．Which diagram correctly represents the relationship among colors, directions and elements?
A．
B．
C．
D．
2．David has recently been feeling stuck in his promotion progress and lacks new opportunities. Which of the
following adjustments would be most suitable for him?
A．Using a red desk lamp on his south facing desk.
B．Placing a green plant in the east part of his living room.
C．Displaying a black vase in the north area of his home office.
D．Hanging a white metal clock in the west corner or his workspace.
3．Placing a silver frame mirror in the Northwest area of your home is most suitable for someone wishes
to________.
A．ensure safe and smooth journeys abroad
B．support the growth and creativity of children
C．enhance family unity and solve domestic conflicts
D．improve wisdom and deepen academic knowledge

Mangroves (红树林) are critical ecosystems that bridge land, freshwater, and sea. Home to various species,
they protect and support countless coastal communities worldwide. Yet they continue to face threats from both
human activities and natural processes. The report, The State of the World’s Mangroves 2024, examines global
changes in mangrove ecosystems over the past two decades.
Agricultural activities, including aquaculture ( 水产养殖), oil palm plantations and rice cultivation,
accounted for the largest share of global mangrove loss between 2000 and 2020. The report also highlights the
impact of “natural retraction,” a term used to describe mangrove loss driven by changes in riverbeds or sea levels.
The global drivers of mangrove loss
Nonetheless, changes in the drivers of mangrove loss have led to encouraging results. The rate of net
mangrove loss decreased by 44%, falling from 181.5 km2 per year in 2000 — 2010 to 102.4 km2 per year in 2010
— 2020. Mangrove gains are also recorded in several regions, where restoration efforts accounted for 25% — 33%
of mangrove expansion in South and Southeast Asia and Africa.
Protecting mangroves requires action at every level. Governments can expand protected areas and improve
monitoring systems, while conservation project teams restore damaged wetlands. Scientists develop real-time
monitoring tools to detect mangrove loss. The report also stresses the importance of cooperation with local
communities. In some projects, community members contribute knowledge by describing the historical distribution
of mangroves, causes of loss, and seasonal coastal changes they have observed. They also provide data through
citizen science platforms like iNaturalist, helping researchers plan more effective restoration projects.
1．What was the total percentage of mangrove loss caused by agricultural activities in 2010-2020?
A．38%.
B．47%.
C．49%.
D．62%.
2．What can we learn about mangrove loss between the two decades?
A．It worsened climate change.
B．It damaged local economy.
C．It expanded on a global scale.
D．It showed a downward trend.
3．What can local community members do to support mangrove restoration?
A．Make restoration plans.
B．Share ecological information.
C．Establish protected areas.
D．Update monitoring equipment.

In the high-speed modern world, isn’t it a pleasure to slow down in a walkable city to enjoy the sound of a
street performer, the smells of freshly-baked bread rising from a bakery, or the sight of neighbors smiling?
London, England
Though cars are everywhere today, many visitors and locals often choose to use a combination of walking,
public transit, and cycling to avoid getting caught in an annoying traffic block. Some of the best walks in London
are walks along the Thames. If the bustle (喧闹) of the city streets grows tiring, walkers can escape to the green of
London’s beautiful parks.
Paris, France
While Paris may be the “City of Love” for many people, it’s the “City of Walking” to others. It’s hard to
know where to begin with a city that would take many lifetimes to fully explore, but the banks of the Seine have to
be in the running. Another essential Paris experience is taking a walk across the city’s many beautiful and historical
bridges.
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Amsterdam is legendary for its person-focused, rather than car-focused, streets. You can walk or bike to just
about all of them, depending on your level of mobility. Even the walking or cycling between each stop is a
destination in itself, with views of canals, amazing architecture, and lively streets.
Quebec City, Quebec, Canada
A confused traveler would be forgiven for thinking that they found themselves in Europe after a brief walk in
this Canadian city. Naturally, Old Quebec City — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — is one of the loveliest areas to
walk through. Exploring this neighborhood is like crossing the Atlantic without the heavy price and long flight.
1．What can people in London do to relax from busy streets?
A．Go to parks.
B．Live in old towns.
C．Work in quiet places.
D．Drive along the river.
2．Where can visitors enjoy canals while walking?
A．In London.
B．In Paris.
C．In Amsterdam.
D．In Quebec City.
3．What do we know about Quebec City?
A．It is full of traffic jams.
B．It has car-centered streets.
C．It is a famous romantic city.
D．It feels like a European city.
