(A)
On US TV shws, yu may smetimes see rubber balls n peple’s desks. These balls are knwn as “stress relief balls”. Peple can squeeze them when they feel stressed ut. It’s believed that by cncentrating n the act f squeezing, they can let g f the negative energy in their bdies.
“We dn’t all get the big, sunny crner ffice, the super ergnmic (人体工程学的) chair, r fur weeks f vacatin at wrk. A fcused activity helps take yur mind ff the prblems f yur day,” wrte Jseph Shrand, a prfessr at Harvard University, in his bk Manage Yur Stress.
Indeed, stress is a big prblem fr many peple. Frtunately, we have many ways t deal with it. In fact, the rubber stress relief balls that are s ppular tday in the US are believed t date back t ancient China. Back in the Han Dynasty (BC 202-AD 220), sldiers used walnuts (核桃)t get rid f stress. By squeezing them during mments f anxiety, sldiers were able t calm themselves dwn befre ging int battle. And in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1368-1644), peple started rtating (转动) the walnuts in their hands. Ordinary citizens — nt just sldiers — develped the habit f rlling tw walnuts, r balls made frm irn r stne, arund in their hands. This helped them relax as well.
And tday, we have many gadgets (器具) and tys that are designed t reduce stress in additin t stress relief balls. One example is the ppular fidget spinner (指尖陀螺), which keeps yur hand busy with an easy task — spinning the gadget arund. There’s als the fidget cube, which features different “gimmicks” (机关) n each side f the cube. Yu can click, spin, pull, push and rtate different parts f the cube.
These gadgets may lk like simple tys, but perhaps we shuld take them mre seriusly than they are given credit fr. “After all, the histry f stress balls is a histry f mdern-day cping (应对),” reprter Nadia Berenstein wrte fr Wlly magazine.
36. What did Shrand suggest peple d t relieve stress?
A. Mve t a big, sunny ffice.B. Get a cmfrtable chair.
C. Take a lng vacatin.D. Cncentrate n a simple activity.

ChatGPT, the new artificial-intelligence technlgy created by Open AI, has many wrrying abut the future f educatin. The tw largest public schl districts, New Yrk and Ls Angeles, have banned the chatbt frm their devices and netwrks, cncerned that students may use it t cheat n assignments. Thugh ChatGPT’s capabilities are limited, it will likely cntinue t disrupt educatin as the technlgy advances.
But educatrs needn’t fear this change. Such technlgies are transfrmative, but they threaten nly the infrmatin-centric type f educatin that is failing t help students succeed. What yung peple need tday is educatinal mdels that help them take wnership f their studies. They need instructin that equips them with real-life skills and prepares them fr an ecnmy in which rte, mechanical tasks will be increasingly perfrmed by machines. AI may be a useful inventin that hastens much-needed educatinal refrm.
Practicing skills t enhance ne’s facility with reasning, analysis and argumentatin—rather than memrizing basic infrmatin—shuld be central t learning. These are skills yung peple will need in future careers and, mst imprtant, that AI can’t replicate. Our experience with AI is perhaps best understd when cmpared with previus disruptins in educatin. When printed bks, fr example, began t emerge in the mid-1400s with the advent f the mvable type, ne can imagine university prfessrs feared that students wuldn’t need t cme t class because they culd simply buy the bk.
Yet in practice, printing had the ppsite effect: The number f universities explded alng with the ttal number f bks. The new technlgy disrupted the mechanical aspect f educatin, but in ding s it allwed educatrs t refcus n higher-level skills—the strategic elements rather than the tactical. The same fllwed the intrductin f calculatrs and spreadsheets, which freed up time that wuld have been spent memrizing rte algrithms fr mathematical prblems.
This change didn’t make the underlying skills unnecessary; it merely transfrmed what culd be dne with them. The effect f such technlgy as ChatGPT will likely be similar. The AI will serve as an infrmatin-gathering and mechanical-rganizing tl, but it wn’t eliminate the fundamental need fr critical thinking. These skills will persist and nly increase in value. Therefre, schls must remember that the value created by educatin isn’t a head full f facts but a persn with the skill t use these facts with the tls available t magnify his effect in the wrld. AI is best seen as anther f these tls, which, when used strategically, can unleash student learning and perfrmance in ways nt yet seen.
43. What des this change refer t in Paragraph 2?
A. Sme public schl districts have banned frm their devices and netwrks.
B. The infrmatin-centric type f educatin is failing t help students succeed.
C. Artificial-intelligence technlgy keeps making new prgress nwadays.
D. The develpment f AI is making a difference t the traditinal educatin.
44. The example f printed bks is mentined t shw ______.
A. the new technlgy disrupts educatin in ur previus experience
B. the mvable type printing negatively impacts ur university teaching
C. such technlgy helps shift ur attentin t students’ higher-level skills
D. AI frees us frm memrizing rte algrithms fr mathematical prblems
45. Accrding t the authr, schls are advised t ______.
A. instruct students in btaining as many facts as pssible
B. adpt teaching strategies t enhance students’ perfrmance
C. equip students with necessary skills with the help f AI
D. teach students t magnify the effect f tls in the wrld
46. Which f the fllwing might be the best title f the passage?
A. AI can save educatin frm itself.B. ChatGPT disrupts educatinal refrm.
C. AI raises wrries abut schl educatin.D. ChatGPT transfrms educatin at all levels.

【答案】47. B 48. E 49. A 50. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇科普类说明文。文章主要讲述了1962年1月10日，秘鲁山区一座冰川巨块突然崩裂，滑落山坡，造成4,000余人死亡。此次灾难展示了雪崩的毁灭性。预测和避免此类巨大雪崩目前无法实现，但幸运的是，它们并不常见。
【47题详解】
根据后文“Glaciers are eventually created when the weight f the snw is s great that the lwer layers are pressed int slid ice. (当雪的重量非常大，以至于下层被压成坚冰时，最终就会形成冰川)”可知，B项“It just keeps piling up higher and higher.(它只会越堆越高)”中piling up higher and higher与后文“Glaciers are eventually lwer layers are pressed int slid ice”相呼应。故选B项。
【48题详解】
根据后文“As snw accumulates n a steep slpe, it reaches a critical pint at which the slightest vibratin will send it sliding int the valley belw. (当雪在陡峭的山坡上积聚时，会达到一个临界点，在这个临界点上，最轻微的震动都会使雪滑落到下面的山谷中)”可知，发生雪崩时，雪会在陡峭山坡上积聚，以及前文“Glaciers are eventually created when the weight f the snw is s great that the lwer layers are pressed int slid ice. (当雪的重量非常大，以至于下层被压成坚冰时，最终就会形成冰川)”可知，雪在陡峭山坡上积聚是在形成冰川之前。由此可知，E项“But mst avalanches ccur lng befre this happens. (但大多数雪崩发生在此之前很久)”承上启下，符合语境，故选E项。
【49题详解】
根据前文“Even an avalanche f light pwer can be dangerus, but the Peruvian disaster was particularly terrible because it was caused by a heavy layer f ice. (即使是轻型的雪崩也可能是危险的，但秘鲁的灾难特别可怕，因为它是由厚厚的冰层造成的)”以及后文“As it crashed dwn the steep muntainside like a gigantic snw plugh, it swept up trees, bulders and tns f tpsil, and cmpletely crushed and destryed the six villages that lay in its path. (当它像一个巨大的雪犁一样从陡峭的山坡上冲下来时，卷起了树木、巨石和成吨的表土，并彻底压垮和摧毁了沿途的六个村庄)”可知，A项“It is estimated that the ice that brke ff weighed three millin tns. (据估计，断裂的冰层重达 300 万吨)”其中weighed three millin tns与前文heavy呼应、同时与后文a gigantic snw plugh相呼应。故选A项。
【50题详解】
根据前文“At present there is n way t predict r avid such enrmus avalanches, but luckily, they are very rare. (目前还没有办法预测或避免这种巨大的雪崩，但幸运的是，这种雪崩非常罕见)”可知，C项“Scientists are cnstantly studying the smaller, mre cmmn avalanches, t try t understand what causes them. (科学家们一直在研究规模较小、更为常见的雪崩，试图了解造成雪崩的原因)”其中the smaller, mre cmmn avalanches与前文n way t predict r avid such enrmus avalanches形成对立关系，表明规模较小的雪崩较为常见，可以进行研究。故选C项。
