阅读下列短文,简略回答问题。
Passage 1
Every Friday and Sunday, a 13-year-old student surnamed Zhang visits an artificial intelligence (AI) study room in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, to improve her grades. "It's quiet here, and the teachers' help is very useful," she said.
The study room has AI-based educational programs. They can change the difficulty of questions based on each student's level. As a result, students' weak points can be easily fixed.
Besides, most of these AI study rooms are watched over by teachers who guide students, give feedback to parents, and create special study plans to help students learn on their own. "In AI study rooms, students not only do online learning but also get direct help from teachers," one teacher explained.
AI study rooms are becoming more and more popular in Chinese cities, especially among parents. A mother surnamed Wang mentions that she feels less worried when her daughter studies alone, as she can get study reports from the apps to check her daughter's progress. However, some experts warn against blindly following this wave. Jia Lijuan, a teacher in Henan, advises students not to
depend too much on AI study rooms. "Students also require different kinds of practices and critical thinking skills. In AI study rooms, the focus is often on precise problem-solving, which might limit the overall development of students," she said.
1. What does Zhang visit the AI study room for?

2. What programs can fix students' weak points?

3. Who can offer direct help in AI study rooms?

4. How do parents check their children's progress according to the passage?

5. Why shouldn't students depend too much on AI study rooms?

3. Teachers.
4. By getting study reports from the apps.
5. Because it might limit their overall development.

Passage 2
Deep in the woods lived a little squirrel(松鼠) called Nico. One day, Nico saw some orange leaves falling off the trees. “Fall is here!” Nico shouted excitedly. “It’s time for Nut Hunt Day!”
All the little squirrels did exercises to get ready for the big day. They practised running, climbing, and jumping. Everyone wanted to win the Nut Hunt(找坚果比赛).
When the game kicked off, the little squirrels in the starting circle all ran in different directions.
Nico started the hunt well. He jumped around, looking for the nuts under the orange leaves.
“Oh, I found one! My first nut!” Nico said happily and picked up the nut. He continued the hunt, holding the nut in his little paw(爪子).
“Oh, another one!” Nico cheered. He picked up the nut with another paw and moved on.
But when Nico tried to pick up the third nut, he faced a problem.
“How can I carry these three nuts with two paws to the starting circle?” Nico thought. “Oh, I know!”
Nico put the nuts on top of one another and tried to carry them all together. But the nut tower was too high, and he couldn’t see the way! Ouch! Nico fell and dropped all of the nuts!
“I might carry one nut in one paw and two nuts in another paw,” Nico said.
But soon Nico realized how difficult it was. He dropped one nut on his leg. Ouch! Then he dropped another nut. Ouch! And another! Ouch! Ouch!
1. What did Nico see that made him know autumn was here?

2. Why did all the little squirrels do exercises?

3. How many nuts did Nico find in total?

4. What was the problem Nico faced?

5. How could Nico solve the problem by himself? Please give him a piece of advice.

1. Some orange leaves falling off the trees.
2. To get ready for Nut Hunt Day.
3. Three.
4. To carry three nuts with two paws to the starting circle.
5. He could carry nuts one by one instead of carrying them together.

【分析】做该英语阅读理解题时，需先通读短文把握核心内容，再针对每个问题，回到原文定位对应语句，提取关键信息作为答案依据，确保答案与原文表述一致。
【解析】1. 定位原文第一段：“One day, Nico saw some orange leaves falling off the trees. “Fall is here!” Nico shouted excitedly.” 可知Nico看到树上落下的橙色树叶，从而知道秋天来了。2. 定位原文第二段：“All the little squirrels did exercises to get ready for the big day.” 结合上下文，“the big day”指Nut Hunt Day，因此小松鼠们做运动是为了准备找坚果比赛。3. 原文中Nico先后找到1个、2个，尝试找第3个，总共找到3个坚果。4. 原文中Nico的问题是：无法用两只爪子把三个坚果带到起点圈。5. 结合Nico的错误尝试（堆成坚果塔、用两只爪拿三个均失败），建议他一个一个搬运坚果，避免掉落。
【答案】1. Some orange leaves falling off the trees.
2. To get ready for Nut Hunt Day.
3. Three.
4. To carry three nuts with two paws to the starting circle.
5. He could carry nuts one by one instead of carrying them together.
