北京市海淀区2016届九年级上学期英语期中考试试卷

根据短文理解,选择正确答案。

    Some people love going to museums,while others absolutely hate it and would rather stay at home,enjoying their favorite TV shows.Increasingly,museums are being seen as outdated and boring by today's youngsters.I have just returned to the UK after travelling around the USA. While there,I visited lots of museums  I must say,museums are typically educational, either to develop knowledge gained at school in particular subjects,or to enhance knowledge of other cultures

    In Chicago,we visited the world-famous Art Institute of Chicago.It was filled with paintings,drawings and sculptures by a huge variety of artists,such as Picasso,Monet,Matisse and Dali.

    There was a mixture of traditional and modern art,including colorful stained glass windows and abstract art.

    When we were in Washington D. C. ,we visited a few of the Smithsonian museums.These are all free to visit-which is great if you just want to see a few things,and not spend all day inside.

    The Air and Space Museum was particularly good:it had lots of aircrafts and rockets on display,interesting information and also some interactive parts.We also went to the National U.S.Holocaust(纳粹大屠杀)Memorial Museum.Naturally,it was sad to read about the horrors of this tragedy which affected so many people in World War II.However,it was also incredibly interesting to read the stories of those who survived the Holocaust,as well as those who helped others.

    Last but not least,I also found the 9/11 Memorial and Museum to be of great interest.This museum is dedicated to those who lost their lives,as well as their families,when the Twin Towers in New York City were attacked by terrorists in 2001It tells you how the terrorists planned the attack,how they hijacked the planes,and ultimately what happened as a result of their actions.Surviving pieces of the towers are shown in the museum,alongside damaged fire engines.It was a truly thought-provoking visit,which made me value my own life that little bit more.

    I think museums play an important role in preserving artifacts of historical importance for future generations.Whatever your interests,there is likely to be a museum for you.You can visit waxwork museums to see models of your favorite celebrities(and get photos with the Queen!),science museums for a more hands-on,interactive visit and so much more!Best of all,if you're ever in the UK,many of them are free!

 阅读理解请阅读下面短文,从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中,选出一个最佳选项。

 Do you think artificial intelligence (AI) should be used in schools?Experts believe that AI tools should be safely and properly used in schools rather than be banned (禁止). 

Zheng Qinghua,president of Tongji University,suggested that young people should be guided to improve their understanding of the knowledge created by technology. AI technology has become increasingly important for getting and spreading knowledge,and it also influences teaching,learning and school management,Zheng mentioned many models such as Ernie Bot,an AI chatbot product of Baidu,were widely used among college students in China. The tool can write articles,solve science problems,and help students with homework and tests. 

Besides,a survey done by the online learning platform Study showed that 89 percent of students had used ChatGPT to help with homework. This made people worry about the bad influence of AI on education. For example,students may not be honest. Instead of simply depending on AI to provide answers or complete homework and tests,people should focus on using AI to help students improve professional skills. In this way,they can better solve real﹣world problems,said Zheng. 

According to Colin Bailey,president of Queen Mary University of London,as ChatGPT grows rapidly,the focus should not be on whether to use AI in education,but on how to use it safely,effectively,and properly. Banning AI in schools is not the solution. Bailey also warned about harm caused by poorly designed (设计的) AI. 

Efforts to manage AI have come out around the world. In China,some rules for managing AI services have been carried out. America and England also have had similar rules. 

 阅读短文,从下面每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Do you have any online classes? It is possible to take classes at home. All you need is a computer and a headset. 

However, most students don't seem to like online classes. According to a recent survey, only 33 percent of the students would take such classes. Over 1, 500 students from 10 cities took part in the survey. 

Many students said it was hard to focus on studying while taking online classes. This was true for Kate, 15, at the High School of Peking University. "There are no classmates and no real teachers watching me. I can surf the Internet or do other things if I want to. It's harder to always stay focused," she said. 

Kate prepares a lot before taking her classes to make sure she will keep her attention. She also pushes herself to communicate with teachers. Students can come up with or answer questions while taking online classes. 

Joice, 14, at Yucai Middle School, thinks online interaction (互动) isn't enough. "The online teachers don't really get to know me. When I don't hand in homework, all I get is a short message instead of real concern (关心) ," she said. 

However, online classes still have advantages. "It saves time and money compared with taking offline classes. Also, if I don't understand some parts of a lesson, I can watch it over again," Kate said. 

 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

 There is great excitement and argument over Artificial Intelligence (AI). The argument about whether robots will replace teachers in the classroom is very heated Some people think it is sure to happen in the next ten years. Others think that the value a good teacher brings, not only to the classroom setting, but in developing a child's confidence and creativity outside lessons, cannot be easily replaced.

AI is not new for us and is already being used successfully in many fields, such as medicine, science and so on. So what does this mean for our future? In my view, AI will help kids to think more freely and creatively. Can AI possibly cut down the teaching work in the future? Of course. Our teachers are always busy preparing for their lessons. Just imagine how happy they will be if they don't have to correct hundreds of papers, but instead, have this task or others done by machines

 However, most importantly, I do not believe AI will be able to imitate the human mental condition totally, especially emotional intelligence(情所 . What makes learning unforgettable is shared experience, the communication between people, and long- lasting positive relationships. For example, experienced teachers can comfort a student if he had a terrible experience. But no research shows that robots can imitate this well.

I also believe we need to develop our kids' personality and their ability not only to make decisions but also make the right decision. To achieve this, depending only on AI is impossible.

 In short. AI has both its advantages and disadvantages. To what degree can teachers use AI in their classes? You can have all the information you want with the help of Al, but great teachers will also need to depend on their own feelings.
