Pygmalion李仕才一、阅读理解A business school in Paris will soon begin using artificial intelligence and facial analysis to determine whether students are paying attention in class. The software, called Nestor, is used in two online classes at the ESG business school beginning in September.The idea, according to LCA founder Marcel Saucet, is to use the data that Nestor collects to improve the performance of both students and professors. The software uses students webcams（网络摄像机）to analyze eye movements and facial expressions and determine whether students are paying attention to a video lecture. It then formulates quizzes based on the content covered during moments of inattentiveness. Professors would also be able to identify moments when students’ attention declin ed, which could help to improve their teaching, Saucet says.Advocates for AI in education say that the software is actually unable to teach a course, but the technology could be used as a digital tutor that would adapt to a student’s individual needs, and help develop more effective studying habits. Such software could also help teachers by providing feedback on the effectiveness of their teaching, advocates say.Saucet says Nestor won’t store any of the video footage it gets and that his company has no plans to sell any other data the software collects. In addition to facial recognition and analysis, the software can integrate（合并）with students’ calendars to suggest possible study times, and track their online behavior to pick up on patterns.Rose Luckin, a professor at the University College London Knowledge Lab, says AI could unlock the “black box of learning” by providing information on how and when learning happens. Luckin says a program like Nestor could be useful for students who take classes remotely, since “there isn’t a human there watching them.” And while some are concerned that AI may one day replace teachers, Luckin sees the technology more as an assistant, rather than a replacement. Saucet agrees. “Human contact is not going to go away,” he says. “There will always be professors.”1.How does Nestor work to find out when students aren’t paying attention?A. By collecting the data of students’ performance in different classes.B. By collecting the students’ grades in the quizzes.C. By shooting an d analyzing students’ eye movements and facial expressions..D. By identifying moments when students’ attention declined.2.Which is the benefit of AI education?A. It could be used exactly to replace a tutor.B. It helps student to develop more effective studying habits.C. The software is able to satisfy the requirement of a course.D. It could help teachers to give feedback on students’ performance..3.How does Nestor deal with the information collected from students?A. Nestor will use it to suggest pos sible study time to students’ schedule.B. It won’t store any video footage but facial expression.C. The company hasn’t expected to make profits by selling the data to other corporations..D. Nestor will use it to keep track online of students’ behavior a nd punish them.4.What is Rose Luckin’s attitude towards the replacement of teachers with AI?A. Objective.B. Approving.C. Indifferent.D. Opposed.【文章大意】本文介绍新的软件Nestor。

Many people would love to leave their jobs behind and have a life-changing adventure overseas.They imagine lying under palm trees as the sun goes down.However，life overseas is not always easy，and many are not prepared for the shock of living in an alien culture.The honeymoon periodAt first，for those who actually decide to move abroad，life is an exciting adventure.They enjoy exploring their new surroundings，and life seems like an ex tended holiday.They don’t mind trying the local cuisine and discovering the local culture.They can even afford to practise their foreign-language skills without fear of making mistakes.Trouble in paradiseIn many cases，when people consider moving to another country，they often fail to realize how different life will be.As time goes by，they become frustrated when language and cultural misunderstandings become a daily headache.In this stage，the visitors begin to withdraw from life in the host country and avoid spending time with local people in favour of mixing with others from their own cultural background.The road to recoveryGradually，most visitors realize they must accept the differences and not fight against them.This change encourages them to improve their language skills and slowly they manage to do the things they could easily do at home，such as opening a bank account.This new­found confidence enables them to see a side of life which very few tourists get to witness.Adjusting to life abroad can often be a real problem.The secret to overcome it is to stop trying to change your host country. If not，you risk losing your dream and having to return to the old life you wanted to leave behind.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。

How can you help kids cope with stress? Proper rest and goodnutrition can improve coping skills, so can good parenting. Make time foryour kids each day. Whether they need to talk with you or just be in thesame room with you, make yourself available.Even as kids get older, quality time is important. It’s really hard for some people to come home after a tiring day of work, get down on the floor, and play with their kids or just talk to them about their day—especially if t hey’ve had a stressful day themselves. But expressing interest in your kids shows that they’ re important to you.Help your child deal with stress by talking about what may be causing it. Together, you can come up with a few solutions. For example, he should cut back on after-school activities, spending more time talking with his parents or teachers, developing an exercise plan or keeping a journal.You can also help by predicting potentially stressful situations and preparing kids for them. For example, let a child know ahead of time, but not too far ahead of time, that a doctor’s appointment is coming up and talk about what will happen there. Keep in mind, though, that younger kids probably won’t need too much advance preparation. Too much information can cause more stress.Remember that some level of stress is normal. Let kids know that it’s OK to feel angry, scared, lonely or anxious and that other people share those feelings, too.When kids can’t or won’t discuss these problems, try talking about you r own concerns. This shows that you’re willing to handle tough topics and are availableto talk with when they’re ready. If a child shows symptoms that concern you and is unwilling to talk, consult a counselor (顾问)or other mental health experts.Most pare nts have the skills to cope with their children’s stress. The time to seek professional attention is when any change in behavior continues to exist, when stress is causing serious anxiety, or when the behavior is causing significant problems in functioning at school or at home.【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文, 讲述的是如何帮助孩子处理压力的事情。

Unit 4 Pygmalion阅读理解·组块专练——练速度(限时：35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解AI learnt about the Pygmalion effect when I was 7 years old at Riverdale School in Palmerston North and I copied Melissa Crawford's answers in a spelling test. Before that I was average at school but after that, because Melissa Crawford was smart, and I got all the right answers, I got put in all the smart kids groups.From then I did really well at school because it was believed by theteachers that I would and I also got grouped with the smart kids. Thisexperience that occurred at my primary school shows just how important thePygmalion effect is in terms of being around mentors (导师) that expect thatyou' re going to do well and also being around people who are smart.The Pygmalion effect is one principle you want to use if you want to make money fast. Have mentors that expect you will make money fast and as an extra boost hang around, copy and learn from other people who are also making money fast.Yesterday this sit e had over 5,000 unique visitors and the traffic to it is increasing all the time. A year ago I contacted a group of people who got lots of traffic on their sites and I learnt from them. Truthfully I don't know if they expected me to start getting decent traffic to websites but I imagined they did so they might as well have.So there you have it the Pygmalion effect.P．S. My grammar and spelling are not that great nowadays but that's actually completely irrelevant (不相关的) when it comes to getting lots of visitors to your site.语篇解读：文章通过自己的经历告诉我们皮革马利翁的神奇力量。

Vitamin B could help reduce the effects of the most dangerous type of air pollution, according to a new study published on Monday. In the first study of its kind, a team of international researchers looked into the damage caused by one of the pollutants that have the severest impact on health—PM 2. 5.They found that Vitamin B supplement could effectively reduce the impact of the tiny particles(颗粒)on the human body, although they stressed that the research was in its early stag es. According to the WHO, 92% of the world’s people are living in places where the PM 2. 5 level goes beyond the recommended level. So it’s urgent to find a solution to the problem.According to this study, published in the PNAS, 10 volunteers were initially exposed to clean air and given a placebo(安慰剂)to check their baseline responses. The group then kept on taking placebos for four weeks before being exposed to heavily polluted air from downtown Toronto, where an estimated 1, 000 cars passed every hour. The bad air was delivered to the volunteers through an “oxygen type” face mask. The experiment was then repeated, with each volunteer taking a Vitamin B supplement daily, made up of 2. 5 mg of folic acid, 50 mg of Vitamin B6, and 1 mg of Vitamin B12.Vitamin B6 can be found in liver, chicken, nuts and other things, and Vitamin B12 in fish, meat, eggs, milk and some cereals. The researchers found that four weeks of Vitamin B supplements reduced the damage of PM 2. 5 effects by 28-76%. The results emphasized how prevention at an individual level could be used to fight against the damage of PM 2. 5, the researchers said.【文章大意】本文主要通过一些实验告诉我们维生素B对减轻PM 2. 5对身体的伤害有什么样的功效。

You1 •阅读理解I am a volunteer teacher in our local middle school. Recently, whi lc working with my excellent student,I wrote him a note regarding an assignment he needed to work on.“Here, ” I said, “keep this with you so you don' t forget. ”He took the piece of paper and stared at it for a moment before commenting, "I can' t read this. ”I wasn" t sure what he meant, so I examined the note・ It was my best cursive（草书）.It' s true,then.The news about schools no Ionger teaching handwriting< But I believe it is necessary for students to learn cursive-First, there continues to be a need to sign "hard copies” of documents. There is a sense of ceremony and a seriousness of purpose about the act of signing something. It calls to mind the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Just lookat those signatures!John Hancock" s was so robust （遒劲的）and original that, more than 200 years later, it sti 11 serves as the logo （标识）of a namesake （同名者）insurance company・And why not?It is a work of art.Second,a great part of the history of the United States is recorded in handwritten documents, including personal letters. If one has not been taught to write in cursive, it is unlikely that one will be able to read it.Third,and perhaps most important, when one is trying to 1 earn something, somewhere in the process there must be a slow step. Writing in Ionghand is a mea ns of slow ing dow n eno ugh to be able to think deeply about what one is penning.In times of budgetary trial, schools often jcttison music and art instruction but keep dangerous football. If cursive joins those victims from the curriculum, then it wi 11 be the loss of yet one more outlet （发泄途径）through which students are able to say, "This is my mark .This is me. ”I still remember in fifth grade, I once handed my finished work to Mrs・Shaw, my handwriting teacher. She looked at it,caught her breath, and said, "Oh, my. 1 think you" re going to be a writer someday. ”Thank you, Mrs. Shaw, for seeing so much in my handwri ting.

To the author, Mrs. Shaw" s words were _________ .A.quite interestingB・really confusingC・very encouragingD.pretty disappointingBIt may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech. At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Fortunately, such moments are usually not obvious to the listeners. Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say. They hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any the wiser. When such moments occur, don，t worry about them. Just continue as if nothing happened・Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesn" t really matter. Tf you have ever 1 istened to Martin Luther King" s famous speech —,r T Have a Dream H , you may notice that he stumbles （结巴）over his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you don，t remember. Why? Because you wore fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making・People care a lot about making a mistake in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performa.nee rather than as an act of communication. They feel the 1 istenets are like judges in an ice-skating competition. But, in fact, the 1isteners are not looking for a perfect performanee. They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that expresses the speaker" s ideas clearly and directly. Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speaker" s attractiveness by making him more human.As you work on your speech, don, t worry about being perfect. Once you free your mind of this,you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.L The underlined part in the first paragraph means that no one willA.be smarter than youB.know what you are talking aboutC.do better than youD・ notice your mistakes2.You don' t remember obvious mistakes in a speech because __________________ •A.you find the way of speech-making more importantB.you don' t fully understand the speechC.you don， t know what the speaker plans to sayD.your attention is on the content3.From the last two paragraphs, the author means that _________________ .A. giving a speech is 1 ike giving a performaneeB・ the listeners should pay more attent ion to how a speech is madeC.one or two mistakes in a speech may not be bad。
