Power of Public Speaking has partnered with ASI Innovation Labs to integrate artificial intelligence into the Pops Classroom platform for improving public speaking skills. The first project is the Pops Advisor which provides an automatic evaluation of students’ video presentations with visual feedback.
The Advisor offers on-demand comments to students practicing public speaking from anywhere. This flexibility benefits instructors, who can be as hands-on or hands-off during practice. While students can operate autonomously with the tool, instructors can also choose to keep track of students’ progress.
Criteria
Using machine learning models, the Pops Advisor analyzes the following criteria:
Delivery Introduction Body Conclusion
Vocal Style Vocal Quality Vocal Filler Eye Contact Body Language Credibility Attention Central Idea Preview Connective Support Language Connective Credibility Organization Signaling Ending Summary Memorable Ending Credibility
Feedback
The presenter receives feedback on the above four categories. And this feedback is given in the following formats:
Recommendations
To provide presenters with valuable feedback for the next practice, recommendations focus on specific aspects needing improvement. For instance, the recommendation can be “Your message is clear, but be sure you are grabbing your audience’s attention in your introduction to ensure they are listening. ”
Speech Metrics (指标)
Useful speech metrics serve as quantitative descriptors on several aspects of the presentation including number of words, total presentation time, speaking rate and vocal fillers percentage.
Pops Advisor can be used in any classroom setting where students are presenting, particularly in the Basic Public Speaking Course. When you are considering what can be achieved by your students toward skill development in a single school semester, Advisor increases the overall development.
21. What is the Pops Advisor
A. A voice assistant.
B. A video player.
C. A time tracker.
D. An evaluation tool.
22. Which of the following categories provides feedback on facial expressions
A. Delivery.
B. Introduction.
C. Body.
D. Conclusion.
23. Who is the text intended for
A. Lab technicians.
B. Public speech instructors.
C. Foreign language learners.
D. Artificial Intelligence engineers.

During my early years, I focused on eye-catching landscape photography. I spent time in the Himalayas, Patagonia and Tasmania and returned with pictures of breathtaking beauty, which I thought were “awesome”. But a one-month camping trip to the Menindee lakes along Darling-Baaka in Australia shifted my perspective: Photography is more than taking photos.
As I became increasingly familiar with the place, I learned that human activities led to widespread deforestation and drought in the area, resulting in many dead trees. Driving across the region, I recalled that Sydney was blanketed by smoke for months on end as bushfires swept through the east coast. Fortunately, the La Nina weather cycle reached Australia, increasing rainfall and causing the continent's short-lived rivers to spring back to life. Yet, the image of bushfires stayed with me, and I felt driven to do something. That was when the photo Blaze came into being.
I spoke to the local authority, explaining that I hoped to create a “burning” tree as a beacon(灯塔) to draw people’s attention to deforestation. They showed great interest because fire is an integral part of the Australian farming and the natives.
I connected a few of the gas canisters(罐) generally used for barbecues to flexible gas lines called “slinkies”, which could be wired up the back of the tree, away from the tree and out of sight of the camera. These produced an outline of flames(火焰) when I lit them, as if the tree were on fire. It was lit for 15 seconds while I got the shot, and fire-fighting equipment was prepared. Even though the tree was dead, it was still a vital habitat. But the gas flames did no damage and the insects that lived inside were unharmed.
I love that when people look at the photo, they can concretize the delicacy of our natural world while appreciating Blaze.
24. What is the author’s new perception of photography
A. It involves professional skills.
B. It should carry deep meanings.
C. It requires high-end equipment.
D. It should produce beautiful pictures.
25. What inspired the author to create Blaze
A. Local environmental changes.
B. Traditional Australian farming.
C. Scenery of the Menindee lakes.
D. Support from the local authority.
26. Which of the following images best illustrates the photo Blaze
27. What is the photo Blaze intended to be
A. A means of enhancing artistic taste.
B. A strategy to beautify the landscape.
C. A call to raise public awareness.
D. A window to showcase local culture.
C
Over the past year, the Chicago Department of Transportation has completed 10 safety projects focused on protecting pedestrians (行人) and cyclists, particularly young people. These measures were introduced in response to accidents involving youth. Teens involved with West Town Bike — a nonprofit that runs cycling programs for students — have voiced concerns about cycling safety while also proposing concrete ideas for improvement.
Many of these students expressed mixed feelings about biking in the city: while they value the sense of freedom, they often do not feel safe. Their suggestions range from infrastructural (基础设施的) upgrades to educational initiatives. For example, David Harb from Lane Tech High School stressed the importance of safety training, such as hand signals, and recommended expanding National Walk and Bike to School Day to include high schools. He also proposed replacing stop signs with roundabouts to naturally slow traffic.
Other students highlighted issues with enforcement of infrastructure. Kaniyah Hale believes drivers who cause collisions with cyclists or pedestrians should receive stronger punishment. Armand Dunkines, who was hit while riding where a bike lane suddenly ends, urged the city to use data to guide bike lane placement and increase traffic law enforcement, especially on weekends. Tamara Scott, both a cyclist and a new driver, pointed out that bike lanes are frequently blocked by cars, emphasizing that motorists must be reminded they are sharing the road.
Christopher Garcia, an experienced cyclist, imagines a redesigned road system with separate spaces for bicycles and cars, along with shared zones. Together, these teens agree that making Chicago’s streets safer will require not only physical changes but also a shift in culture and attitudes among all road users.
28. What is West Town Bike according to the text
A. A project on protecting pedestrians.
B. A school offering teens bike safety training.
C. An official department managing traffic safety.
D. An organization running free cycling programs.
29. What can be inferred about students’ views from paragraph 2
A. Biking safety must be ensured.
B. Steps count in reducing infrastructure costs.
C. Safety training outweighs facility upgrades.
D. Stop signs effectively slow down traffic flow.
30. Why does the author mention Armand Dunkines’ accident
A. To call on motorists to follow the rules.
B. To complain about the lack of bike lanes.
C. To show the benefits of law enforcement.
D. To criticize the poor design of infrastructure.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Teens’ Appeals for Safer Chicago Streets
B. Chicago’s New Traffic Rules for Cyclists
C. The History of Chicago Cycling Programs
D. Chicago’s Shift toward Fewer Car Accidents
D
Have you ever felt so stressed that you just sort of froze Your body goes still, you can’t feel much but, at the same time, your senses are working overtime. You know you must act soon; but it’s as if something is stopping you. This “freezing”, or tonic immobility in academic terms, is an adaptive defense response to stress or danger.
When we freeze, our heart rate drops and our blood pressure changes. Our pupils might become wider. A flood of hormones (荷尔蒙) spread quickly, readying us for action. It can all happen within seconds.
While fight-or-flight seems logical for survival, freezing appears counterproductive — potentially too much to handle, making us incapable of acting or making a decision. But is that really all that’s going on Not according to Prof Karin Roelofs, a neuroscientist who studies freezing at Radboud University. “Many people think that freezing is a kind of shutdown of the system, ” she says. “What we actually find is that in threatening situations, freezing actually helps gain more information, prepare actions, and improve perception and decision-making. ” Freezing acts like an emergency flow state: watchful, not petrified.
Importantly, this response can be trained. Roelofs highlights two groups controlling freezing: living statues, street performers maintaining extreme stillness and snipers (狙击手) requiring absolute stillness while making decisions. Lab research confirms this. A virtual reality shooting game showed players with stronger freezing responses performed better and decided faster. Freezing doesn’t slow responses. “Brain noise reduces. Perception increases. You make better decisions faster, ” Roelofs clarifies.
But let’s say you’re not a sniper, or don’t spend your weekends as a living statue. What if you’re about to take an exam or lead a big business meeting Those situations involving social pressure, may not be life or death, but still can cause freezing. The key is to use this response through training, particularly focused breathing: maintain slow, rhythmic exhalation (有节奏的呼气). Instead of feeling out of control, you can master it and — sniper or not — take your best shot.
32. What happens in “freezing” according to the text
A. Awareness is lost.
B. The heart pounds.
C. Senses are sharper.
D. The breath quickens.
33. What does the underlined word “petrified” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Confused.
B. Panicked.
C. Depressed.
D. Occupied.
34. Why are living statues and snipers mentioned in Paragraph 4
A. To contrast response types.
B. To illustrate freezing causes.
C. To support response training.
D. To criticize stressful professions.
35. How should students manage exam freezing according to the text
A. Seek professional help.
B. Apply trained breathing.
C. Hold breath to stay still.
D. Make last-minute revisions.

When I first started traveling, my dad asked me what I was running away from. Another time, a friend told me to stop running away from my problems and to start living life. I’m not sure why. ____36____ We are running away from responsibilities, challenges, and ultimately, maturity itself. People think we are all just Peter Pans refusing to be “adults”. And to all those people, I say: you are right.
____37____ I’m running away from office life, commutes (通勤), weekend duties, and the strict path society has laid out as “normal”. I’m running away because I want to experience every culture, see every mountain, eat different food, attend crazy festivals, meet new people, and enjoy different holidays around the world. I want to construct a life that makes me happy.
In our society, the accepted path is long and narrow: you go to college, get a job, get married, buy a house, have two or three children, raise them, and then retire. Only then, after you’ ve put in your time, can you enjoy the fruits of your labor. ____38____ And any deviation (偏差) is considered abnormal and strange.
For me, those who travel the world aren’t running away from life. ____39____ They are exploring the world and living on their own terms. They have a degree of freedom a lot of people will never experience. They get to be the captains of their own ships.
People may tell you they envy what you do, and say they wish they could travel like you. But they never do. Few people have the courage to take the risk. But life is what you make it out to be. Life is yours to create. ____40____ So I’m not running away. I am just going after my own life. And I never plan to look back.
A. Traveling is something everyone should do.
B. Responsible people don’t just travel forever.
C. On the contrary, they are running toward true living.
D. If you really want something, you have to go after it.
E. I’m running away from people’s fixed idea of the “real” world.
F. But there is this perception that travelers must be escaping something.

While trying to___53___my baby girl, my kindergartener, and the yard work, ___54___ was a lifeline for me, a coping mechanism. But my way was, perhaps, not the best way after all.

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
At the far end of town, next to a dark forest, sits an old and shabby white house. Kids at school call it the Spook House. It’s where I live with Mom, little brother Andy and Grammy. The outside looks scary; The paint is coming off, the shutters（百叶窗） are loose with rusty nails, and weeds are everywhere around it.
Mom rented it because our old apartment was too small. I thought she was crazy at first, but I knew she did her best — money was tight. She cleaned every room and painted the inside with bright colors. I loved my newly-painted bedroom, but the outside stayed ugly. Mr. Dudley, our landlord, kept making excuses to avoid painting it.
“Let’s do it ourselves!” I suggested one evening while we were washing dishes. Mom paused, her hands in soapy water, and sighed. “Honey, paint and tools cost money — we can’t just splash cash like that. ” But Grammy, who’ d been knitting on the couch, set down her yarn and smiled. “I’ ve got a little nest egg saved up from my knitting sales. It’s not much, but it’ ll help. ” I grinned, running to grab my piggy bank — my babysitting money, which I’d been saving for a new graphic novel, suddenly felt way less important. “I’ ll chip in too!” Andy yelled from the living room, where he was coloring a picture of the house. “I can pull weeds! I’m super good at it!”
We headed to the hardware store that weekend and picked out paint: Blue Heron for the walls and Gull White for the trim. On the way home, we ran into Juan — an older boy from my history class who’d been talking about starting his own small paint business lately. When we mentioned our plan to paint the house, his face lit up right away. “I’ll help paint high parts if you treat me with homemade pizza!” We agreed.
注意：(1) 续写词数应为150个左右；
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Para 1: Every weekend after that, we became a little work team.
Para2: After two weeks, the house shone.

Relieve Stress, Embrace the Challenge
To help seniors cope with Gaokao pressure, our school organized a psychological lecture on stress relief last Monday. The event began with an expert explaining stress management techniques, followed by interactive activities where students practiced deep breathing and positive self-talk in small groups. Many shared their anxieties and received practical advice.
Not only did we gain effective strategies like time management and mindfulness, but we also realized the importance of a positive mindset. This experience taught us that stress is manageable, and embracing challenges with confidence is key to success.
读后续写
Para 1: Every weekend after that, we became a little work team. Mom held the ladder steady for Juan, her hair tied back in a messy ponytail to keep it neat. Grammy set up a folding chair on the porch, and whenever we took a break, she brought out cold lemonade, its sweetness refreshing us instantly. Wearing tiny gardening gloves, Andy pulled weeds with all his strength, his cheeks turning pink from the hard work. I handed Juan brushes and dipped them in paint, my arms growing sore after an hour but my heart full of energy. Tired as we were, no one complained — we all knew we were making our house better together.
Para 2: After two weeks, the house shone. On its walls was the soft Blue Heron color, and the trim was Gull White, with two pots of flowers Mom bought standing by the front door. We stood in the yard together, grinning like fools and staring at our new-looking house. I reached out to touch the paint warm from the sun and smooth under my fingers. Something soft and fuzzy settled in my chest then, like a gentle hug from the inside out. I finally realized: Pretty paint makes a house look nice, but it’s the love and effort we share that turns it into a true home.

B篇【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。讲述了作者原本专注于风景摄影，在澳大利亚Menindee lakes的经历让其意识到摄影应有更深含义，当地环境变化促使作者创作了照片Blaze，以引起人们对森林砍伐的关注。
24．细节理解题。根据第一段“But a one-month camping trip to the Menindee lakes along Darling-Baaka in Australia shifted my perspective; Photography is more than taking photos. (但一次在澳大利亚达令-巴阿克地区梅尼德里湖的为期一个月的露营之旅改变了我的看法；摄影不仅仅是拍摄照片)”可知，作者新的认知是摄影应具有深刻含义，故选B。
25．细节理解题。根据第二段“As I became increasingly familiar with the place, I learned that human activities led to widespread deforestation and drought in the area, resulting in many dead trees. Driving across the region, I recalled that Sydney was blanketed by smoke for months on end as bushfires swept through the east coast. (随着我对这个地方的了解越来越深入，我了解到人类活动导致了该地区大面积的森林砍伐和干旱，致使许多树木死亡。驾车穿越这片区域时，我回想起悉尼曾连续数月被浓烟笼罩，因为丛林大火席卷了东海岸)”和“Yet, the image of bushfires stayed with me, and I felt driven to do something.

(我将一些通常用于烧烤的气罐连接到了被称为“滑线”的柔性输气管上。这些滑线可以沿着树的背面铺设，远离树木并隐藏在公众视线之外。当我点燃它们时，会产生火焰的轮廓，仿佛这棵树真的着火了)”可知，照片Blaze呈现的是一棵树被火焰轮廓包围，看起来仿佛树着火了的画面，故选D。
27．细节理解题。根据第三段“I spoke to the local authority, explaining that I hoped to create a “burning” tree as a beacon (灯塔) to draw people’s attention to deforestation. (我与当地政府部门进行了沟通，说明了我的想法，即希望打造一棵“燃烧”的树，以此作为警示标志，引起人们对森林砍伐问题的关注)”可知，作者创作Blaze是为了唤起公众意识，故选C。
C篇【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了芝加哥交通部完成多项安全项目后，当地青少年针对骑行安全提出基础设施升级和教育倡议等多方面建议。
28．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Teens involved with West Town Bike — a nonprofit that runs cycling programs for students — have voiced concerns about cycling safety while also proposing concrete ideas for improvement. (参与West Town Bike项目的青少年——这是一个为学生提供自行车项目的非营利组织——对骑行安全表示了担忧，同时也提出了具体的改进建议)”可知，West Town Bike是一个提供免费骑行项目的组织。故选D。
29．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Many of these students expressed mixed feelings about biking in the city: while they value the sense of freedom, they often do not feel safe. Their suggestions range from infrastructural (基础设施的) upgrades to educational initiatives. (许多学生对在城市里骑自行车表达了复杂的感受：虽然他们珍视自由的感觉，但他们常常感到不安全。他们的建议从基础设施升级到教育举措都有)”以及后面具体学生提出的建议可推知，学生们认为骑行安全必须得到保障。故选A。
30．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Armand Dunkines, who was hit while riding where a bike lane suddenly ends, urged the city to use data to guide bike lane placement and increase traffic law enforcement, especially on weekends. (Armand Dunkines在一条突然结束的自行车道上骑行时被撞，他敦促市政府利用数据来指导自行车道的设置，并加强交通执法，尤其是在周末)”可推知，作者提到Armand Dunkines的事故是为了批评基础设施设计不佳，因为自行车道突然结束导致他被撞。故选D。
31．主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是第一段中“Teens involved with West Town Bike — a nonprofit that runs cycling programs for students — have voiced concerns about cycling safety while also proposing concrete ideas for improvement. (参与West Town Bike项目的青少年——这是一个为学生提供自行车项目的非营利组织——对骑行安全表示了担忧，同时也提出了具体的改进建议)”以及后文学生们提出的具体建议可知，文章主要讲述了青少年对芝加哥街道安全提出的呼吁和建议。因此，A选项“Teens’ Appeals for Safer Chicago Streets(青少年呼吁芝加哥街道更安全)”最符合文章主旨，适合作本文的标题。故选A。
D篇【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在面对压力或危险时，人们会出现“冻结”反应及其作用，还说明了可以通过训练来掌控这种反应。
32. 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Have you ever felt so stressed that you just sort of froze Your body goes still, you can’t feel much but, at the same time, your senses are working overtime. ” (你有没有曾经因感到压力太大，以至于有点僵住了？你的身体静止不动，你感觉不到太多，但与此同时，你的感官却非常活跃。) “be working overtime” 意为“非常活跃”，选C项。
33. 词句猜测题。根据划线词前文“Freezing acts like an emergency flow state: watchful, not (僵住就像一种紧急流动状态：警惕，而不是)”和表示转折的“not”可知，僵住时人们虽然警惕但并非吓呆了，而是保持冷静的观察状态，由此可推测“petrified”应与“watchful (警惕的)”形成对比，意为“吓呆了的；恐慌的”，与B项“Panicked (惊慌失措)”意思相近。故选B项。
34. 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Importantly, this response can be trained. Roelofs highlights two groups controlling freezing: living statues, street performers maintaining extreme stillness and snipers (狙击手) requiring absolute stillness while making decisions. Lab research confirms this. (重要的是，这种反应是可以训练的。Roelofs强调了两组控制僵住的人：活雕像，即保持极度静止的街头表演者，以及在做出决定时需要绝对静止的狙击手。实验室研究证实了这一点。)”可知，提到活雕像和狙击手是为了说明僵住反应可以通过训练来控制，从而支持“这种反应可以通过训练来掌控”的观点。故选C项。
35. 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The key is to use this response through training, particularly focused breathing: maintain slow, rhythmic exhalation (有节奏的呼气). (关键是通过训练来利用这种反应，特别是专注呼吸：保持缓慢、有节奏的呼气。)”可知，学生应该通过训练呼吸来应对考试时的僵住反应。故选B项。

(在我们的社会里，公认的道路是漫长而狭窄的：你上大学，找工作，结婚，买房，生两三个孩子，抚养他们，然后退休。只有这样，在你付出了时间之后，你才能享受劳动的果实)”详细描述个人们公认的“正常”人生轨迹，G选项“Society boxes you in and restricts your movements to their expectations.

Since starting out six years ago, our program has featured “book people” of different kinds. However, I’ve never interviewed a social media star before. In recent years, 34-year-old librarian Mychal’s love for his work has taken the world by storm. As a child, Mychal spent hours at the local library in Fairfield, California, calling it his “home-away-from-home”. (18) After gaining a communications degree from the University of Phoenix, followed by a master’s in library information science from San Jose State University, the 23-year-old returned home and began working at the very library which had made him feel so welcome as a child. (18) (19) Mychal took to social media in the hope of encouraging his audience to visit their local libraries. Sharing book reviews, library experiences, and positive messages, he gradually gained a huge following and millions of views. Earlier this year, the pressures of fame became too much, and Mychal stepped back from his job to focus on his mental health. (19) However, he continues to inspire others. He’s now a “resident librarian” for PBS, America’s biggest not-for-profit TV service. Mychal, welcome…
