The software, called Nestor, is used in two

11、 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 express

12、ions 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 declined, which could help to improve their teaching, Sauc

13、et 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 students individual needs, and help develop more effective studying habits. Such software could also help teachers by providing

14、feedback on the effectiveness of their teaching, advocates say.Saucet says Nestor wont 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 ca

15、lendars 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 l

16、ike Nestor could be useful for students who take classes remotely, since “there isnt 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

21、critics believed she had little chance of staying on top. Too “girl next door”, they said. Not stylish enough. Not thin enough, either.But Kelly Clarkson, 31, has proven them all wrong with her string of worldwide hits, from Because of You to the recent Catch My Breath.Being the first Idol winner in

22、 the US was not easy. In the past decade since that victory, Clakson has had to deal with the medias scrutiny of her weight and personal style. “Everyones like, Youre a pop star. You should be smaller.” Clarkson told People Magazine. “But Im the pop star. Ill make the rules.”Since middle school, Cla

23、rkson has been aware of the power of her voice. She first joined the school choir (合唱队) at age 13 when a teacher heard her singing in the hallway and demanded that she join. “Singing gave me confidence,” Clarkson told the Orange County Register, a newspaper in California. “Friends at school were ner

28、eper emotional and personal connections with the world around us. Not all travel experiences, however, need to take place in the real world. With the evolution of virtual reality(VR) technology, tourism will increasingly become a combination of physical and virtual worlds. VR may even remove the nee

29、d to travel entirely.But can a VR experience really equal a real world one? Many experts believe it can. Studies have shown that our brains have an inbuilt VR-like mechanism that enables us to live imagined experiences. Much of our waking life is spent thinking about either the past or the future. T

30、his is known as mind wandering. During these events we re not paying attention to the current world around us. Instead, we re recalling memories, or creating and processing imagined futures.When engaged in mind wandering, our brains process these mental images using the same pathways used to receive

31、 inputs from the real world. So, the imagined past or future can create emotions and feelings similar to how we react to everyday life. VR can create these same feelings.While critics might argue that a virtual experience will never match reality, there are several ways VR tourism could make a posit

32、ive contribution. Firstly it could help protect sensitive locations from over-tourism. In recent years famous sites such as Maya Bay in Thailand, and Cambodias Angkor Wat Temples have had to limit the number of visitors because of their negative impact. These places are now producing their own VR ex

33、periences that will allow tourists to pass through virtual models of the sites.Virtual reality may also allow people back in time, to experience historical events, visit ancient cities, and even to walk among dinosaurs.Finally, in a world where many people suffer from stress and depression due to ov

34、erwork, virtual tourism may provide a cheap and convenient way for people to take brief holidays to otherwise unreachable destinations and recharge their batteries, without ever leaving their homes.It sounds like science fiction but its already happening. As virtual technology improves and as people

35、 continue to demand new and interesting experiences, expect more virtual tourism, both in combination with the real world and instead of it.1、What is driving the development of virtual tourism?ACompanies seeking to make more money.BImprovements in virtual reality technology.CPeoples demand for more

36、shared experiences.DPeoples deeper understanding of the physical world.2、Which of the following best describes mind wandering?AThe brain processes which help people think VR is real.BThe way the brain processes inputs from the real world.CBrain activities focusing on past or future events.DExperienc

37、es coming from a persons imagination.3、What does the underlined word it in the last paragraph refer to?AScience fiction.BVirtual technology.CVirtual tourism.DThe real world.4、What is the purpose of the passage?ATo describe the advantages of VR tourism.BTo give suggestions for reducing over-tourism.C

38、To encourage people to develop VR technology.DTo argue VR tourism will replace the real world travel.24（8分）Fikiri Kipondas path from accountant to marine (海洋的) conservationist was sparked by a chance encounter.

39、 was looking for until he ran across some turtle hatchlings.He didnt know it was turtle. Fortunately enough he got the right person to ask and he got motivated.

41、ies of conservationists such as Kiponda as these turtles face numerous threats and signs of their extinction in the next 50 years.Local fishermen traditionally catch them to supplement their own low catch rates and sell them for their oil. As changes are made to accommodate more hotels for tourists,

42、 there is less available beach land for turtle nesting.Kipondas passion has now spread to his community, changing their attitude towards sea life preservation with his “by-catch release programme.”Through this program, fishermen are now paid for returning turtles accidentally caught in their fishing

43、 nets. The healthy ones are tagged and released into the marine park while he takes care of sick and injured turtles back to health.Before the launch of pioneering spirit like this, turtles caught by fishermen were used for their meat and their oil extracted (提炼) for its medicinal properties.“Releas

47、 by sea turtles.25（10分）Like most of you, Ive grown up with science putting it into my head that eating Cholesterol (胆固醇) is bad for us. My doctor has scolded me repeatedly for liking high-cholesterol snacks. But now, after 40 years of giving cholesterol such a rap, the scientific experts are reporte

48、dly ready to reverse (颠倒) themselves. Suddenly, were going to be told that high-cholesterol foods are not bad for us after all.This isnt the first time science reverses what it believes to be true, nor will it be the last.

How can we trust an authority that often changes its mind in extreme ways?Sciences typical way is

50、nt limited to matters of nutrition. Go ahead and check it out for yourself by looking at the qualifiers used in the vast majority of honestly written science news articles. Youll see that the stories are laced with weak words and phrases such as: some, in certain circumstances, probably, perhaps, ma

51、y, could, tends, suggests, indicates, according to, is linked to, plays a role in. The grave problem Ive observed over the years is that too often science and its reporters create the impression of certainty when none is proved. The cholesterol story is but one example of that make-believe certainty

52、.How much should we be concerned about this? A great deal, I believe, given sciences great and growing influence on our lives. At the very least, each of us needs to -understand that the scientific worldview impressive as it surely is is built on shifting sands. As Einstein once observed, “No amount
