Then she remembers something．Her phone．It’s in her pocket．Maybe she can phone her mum and dad．She takes the phone from her coat but there’s no signal (信号)．What can she do?

She hears voices downstairs, so she goes down to the kitchen．Tom, his mum and dad are sitting at the kitchen table, eating a big breakfast．

    “Morning, Jan．” says Tom’s dad．“What would you like? Sausages (腊肠), bacon (熏咸肉), eggs, fried bread…”

Jan smiles politely．She sits down at the table．“No, thanks．I’m vegetarian．”

“What’s that?” asks Tom’s mum．

Tom answers, “Vegetarian, mum．She doesn’t eat meat．”

Tom’s dad laughs．“We like a big breakfast, don’t we, Tom? It’s the most important meal of the day．”

Jan smiles．“That’s what my dad says．Do you have any fruit juice or cereal (谷类食物) bars?”

They all look at her blankly (茫然若失)．Jan smiles, “That’s OK．Tea and bread are fine．”

She looks across at Tom．

    “Tom, do you have a PC or a Mac? I can’t see one in your room．If I can connect to the InternetI can…” She looks at the blank faces staring (凝视) at her．

“Inter-what?” Tom asks．

“Internet．” Jan looks at the food on the table and then at the room they’re sitting in．She suddenly feels very hot．Tom’s mum looks worried．“What’s the date?” she asks．

“February the 27th, I think．” Tom says．

Imagine that a girl sits down for a test in a future classroom．Her exam paper is made by an artificial intelligence(AI)(人工智能) model based on her own laming．When she finishes her paper, she hands her paper to her teacher, who uses another AI model to grade the paper．Based on the result, a new learning plan is made for the student according to her strengths(优势) and weaknesses．This is personalized(个性化的) education at its best．

Could this be the future of AI in education? It is certainly possible．With the development of high technology, the dream about the AI classroom will come true even faster than we expected．

However, it also puts a question: How can AI help students improve their schoolwork?

AI can use past information to make personalized learning plans according to students’ performances．The plans allow students to learn at their own speed and in their own way．AI can easily catch expressions(表情) on students’ faces．When students get into trouble, AI models can make a mark．Even before they start to show signs of trouble, AI models can make correct predictions(预测)．At the same time, AI models can provide ways of dealing with problems and improving learning plans quickly．

What’s more, AI can provide the special program for those who have problems in learning．One example of a company developing AI to improve the learning experience is Nuance．It offered Dragon Speech Recognition technology．With the support of voice recognition(识别), AI allows students to complete tasks only by speaking．This offers a chance to those who have problems in writing．AI will become more and more important in education．In the near future, we will see an AI classroom．It can not only provide personalized learning plans but also use technology to predict results．Education will be personalized to a student’s strengths, bringing a more enjoyable learning experience for all students．

27．What is the purpose of Paragraph 1?

A．To make students more worried about tests．

B．To explain why learning plans are necessary．

C．To introduce personalized education to readers．

D．To show students how meaningful the AI model is．

28．From Paragraph 4, we can learn AI models can ________．

A．make good use of learning plans

B．describe different kinds of expressions

C．mark and predict trouble by expressions

．keep students away from the possible problems

29．What is the example of Nuance used to show?

A．AI can improve students’ writing skills．

B．AI can offer the service to special students．

C．Students can easily complete tasks with AI．

D．Voice recognition makes a difference to education．

30．What can be inferred(推断) from the passage?

A．AI will work instead of teachers in the future．

B．It will take a long time to build AI classrooms．

C．AI will be widely used soon in top universities．

D．Students will have a better learning experience with AI．

二、单项选择（共15小题, 每小题1分, 满分15分）

1、C

【解析】

【详解】句意：这么大的雨天，你不把窗户关上，真是太不小心了。

考查介词辨析和非谓语动词。此处形容词“careless”是表示一个人的品质、性格，应用介词“of”，不用for，可排除BD选项；再根据“the window on such a rainy day.”可知，此处是指下雨天不关窗户是很粗心的。故选C。

2、C

【解析】

【详解】句意：这个手机看起来很不错，但是我买不起。你有便宜一点的吗？

考查动词。pay sb．for sth.表示“因为某物付给某人钱”；spend money/time on sth.“花费钱或时间在某物上”；afford支付得起；sth．cost sb．money“某物花费某人钱”，根据“Do you have a cheaper one?”可知，想要买便宜一点的手机，因此这个手机我支付不起，故选C。
