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.CriteriaUsing machine learning models, the Pops Advisor analyzes the following criteria:Delivery Introduction Body ConclusionVocal 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 CredibilityFeedbackThe presenter receives feedback on the above four categories. And this feedback is given in the following formats: RecommendationsTo 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.BWhen Joshua White was growing up in southeastern Indiana, he would lie in his backyard for hours observing ants and bugs. He met the little creatures with a sense of wonder and engaged himself in understanding the mysteries of the natural world.White grew up to become an artist. He recently moved to North Carolina, where he still spends considerable time as he did in childhood: walking near his house and carefully looking at his surroundings. What has changed is that he now captures the little animals with a smartphone camera that allows him to better study them and share the photos with viewers beyond his backyard.His lifelong love of the natural world is reflected in his project “A Photographic Survey of the American pared with Charles Darwin, who traveled great distances to observe and sketch plants and animals that existed in nearly inaccessible places, White records the plants and animals that are frequent seen in everyday life but are rarely considered noteworthy.White believes that most of us don’t think often enough about the world we inhabit or what goes on under our feet. Though some creatures are often regarded as something insignificant or even pests, White’s images ask us to recognize not only that they’re here but also that they’re important.24. What do we know about White’s childhood A. He showed great interest in arts.B. He had an inborn love for nature.C. He was a good catcher of ants and bugs.D. He collected a lot of pictures of nature.25. What is most people’s attitude towards their surroundings according to White A. Concerned. B. Curious. C. Unfriendly. D. Neglectful.26. Which of the following sayings may White agree with A. Beauty is around us all the time.B. Scenery is fine, but human nature is finer.C. Drive slow and enjoy the scenery; drive fast and join the scenery.D. There is nothing more interesting than the landscape of the human face.27. Which can be the best title for the passage A. A Lifelong Passion for Art. B. A Photographic SurveyC. Art from an American Backyard D. The Functions of Smartphone CamerasCWhy can discounts and deals turn a simple shopping trip into chaos What is it that makes a bargain so appealing A brain-activity study has shown that when we think about money we might spend, brain areas sensitive to pain are activated. When we think about the thing that we want to buy, areas sensitive to pleasure are triggered. Our medial prefrontal cortex (前额叶内务侧皮质) evaluates these responses and makes a decision. If it looks like a good deal, we’re more likely to make the purchase and get a hit of dopamine (多巴胺). We get even more dopamine from something that’s unexpected, such as when something is surprisingly cheap. Our brains are keen to reward us for finding bargains and many shops are keen to take advantage of this.Anchoring is a pricing strategy where we are shown an initial price, and then the real one. Popular items may be positioned next to something much more expensive, or we may see a very high previous price next to the heavily reduced one currently available. Sky-high anchor prices can make unreasonably high actual prices seem fair, and our brains are happy to reward us when we make the purchase. Other strategies include time limits, threatening to prevent us from our dopamine hit if we’re not quick enough, and charm pricing, where we’re much less worried about paying 9.99 than 10.If we know how our brains work and how retailers (零售商) might act, what should we do It can be useful to take time to consider what we’re buying, hold on to something and walk around the shop before buying to give ourselves more time to evaluate a potential purchase. It can also be sensible to research prices before shopping, to get a better idea of what represents good value.28. What happens when we think about the item we want to purchase A. Areas sensitive to pain become active.B. More dopamine will be released.C. Areas related to delight start to function.D. The medial prefrontal cortex shuts down.29. What does the underlined word “initial” in Paragraph 4 probably refer to A. False B. PreviousC. Appealing D. Current30. What can be inferred from the passage A. Our brains like rewarding us for discovering bargains.B. Charm pricing makes customers aware of paying more.C. Taking time to consider purchases is inadvisable.D. Researching prices before shopping is useless.31. What would be the best title for the passage A. How to Avoid Shopping Chaos SmartlyB. The Function of Medial Prefrontal CortexC. Retailers’ Strategies and Customers’ ReactionsD. Why Bargains Are Favored by CustomersDWhen it comes to being fit and healthy, we’re often reminded to aim to walk 10,000 steps per day. This can annoy many, especially when we’re busy with work and other commitments—and yet where did this number actually come from The 10,000 steps a day target seems to have come about from a trade name pedometer sold in1965 by Yamasa Clock in Japan. The device was called “Manpo-kei”, which translates to “10,000 steps meter”. This was a marketing tool for the device and has seemed to have stuck across the world as the daily step target. It’s even included in daily activity targets by popular smartwatches, such as Fitbit.Research has since investigated the 10,000 steps a day target. But while some research has shown health benefits at 10,000 steps, recent research from Harvard Medical School has shown that, on average, around 4.400 steps a day is enough to significantly lower the risk of death in women. This was when compared to only walking around 2,700 steps daily. The more steps people walked, the lower their risk of dying was，before leveling off at around 7,500 steps a day. No additional benefits were seen with more steps. Although it’s uncertain whether similar results would be seen in men, it’s one example of how moving a little bit more daily can improve health and lower risk of death.Recent research at the University of Texas has also demonstrated that if you’re walking fewer than 5,000 steps a day, your body is less able to metabolize (新陈代谢) fat the following day. A buildup of fat in the body can also increase a person’s likelihood of developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes. This is further supported by previous research which shows people who walked less than 4,000 steps a day could not change this decreased fat metabolism.If you want to increase how many steps you get daily, or simply want to move more, one easy way includes walking to work if possible, or taking part of an online exercise program if you’re working from home. Meeting with friends for a walk—rather than in a cafe or pub—can also be useful.32. What does the author think of the 10,000 steps per day A. It is an upsetting target to achieve. B. It is likely to go out of style quickly.C. It is a rising tendency of mental health D. It is effective in reducing pressure on work.33. What does research from the Harvard Medical School suggest about the target A. It matters as much as 7500 steps a day. B. The more steps, the lower risk of death.C. A bit more than the target can improve health. D. About half that target appears to be beneficial.34. What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us A. Absence of previous research. B. Recent findings of fat buildup.C. Problems of less daily walking. D. Possible causes of physical challenges.35. Which of the following is one of the suggested ways according to the passage A. Working at home. B. Treating friends in a cafe or pub.C. Driving to work. D. Signing up for online exercise programs.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Work with Different CulturesWorking effectively with different cultures is a necessary skill for anyone in a culturally diverse work environment.

When we think about the thing that we want to buy, areas sensitive to pleasure are triggered. Our medial prefrontal cortex (前额叶内务侧皮质) evaluates these responses and makes a decision. If it looks like a good deal, we’re more likely to make the purchase and get a hit of dopamine (多巴胺). We get even more dopamine from something that’s unexpected, such as when something is surprisingly cheap. Our brains are keen to reward us for finding bargains and many shops are keen to take advantage of this.Anchoring is a pricing strategy where we are shown an initial price, and then the real one. Popular items may be positioned next to something much more expensive, or we may see a very high previous price next to the heavily reduced one currently available. Sky-high anchor prices can make unreasonably high actual prices seem fair, and our brains are happy to reward us when we make the purchase. Other strategies include time limits, threatening to prevent us from our dopamine hit if we’re not quick enough, and charm pricing, where we’re much less worried about paying 9.99 than 10.If we know how our brains work and how retailers (零售商) might act, what should we do It can be useful to take time to consider what we’re buying, hold on to something and walk around the shop before buying to give ourselves more time to evaluate a potential purchase. It can also be sensible to research prices before shopping, to get a better idea of what represents good value.28. What happens when we think about the item we want to purchase A. Areas sensitive to pain become active.B. More dopamine will be released.C. Areas related to delight start to function.D. The medial prefrontal cortex shuts down.29. What does the underlined word “initial” in Paragraph 4 probably refer to A. False B. PreviousC. Appealing D. Current30. What can be inferred from the passage A. Our brains like rewarding us for discovering bargains.B. Charm pricing makes customers aware of paying more.C. Taking time to consider purchases is inadvisable.D. Researching prices before shopping is useless.31. What would be the best title for the passage A. How to Avoid Shopping Chaos SmartlyB. The Function of Medial Prefrontal CortexC. Retailers’ Strategies and Customers’ ReactionsD. Why Bargains Are Favored by Customers【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31. D【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是人们在购物时为何容易被折扣吸引，以及大脑如何对交易产生反应的相关研究和零售策略。【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“When we think about the thing that we want to buy, areas sensitive to pleasure are triggered.(当我们想到想要购买的物品时，大脑中对愉悦敏感的区域会被激活)”可知，当我们考虑想买的物品时，与快乐相关的脑区开始工作。故选C项。【29题详解】词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Popular items may be positioned next to something much more expensive, or we may see a very high previous price next to the heavily reduced one currently available.(畅销品可能会与更昂贵的东西放在一起，或者我们可能会看到一个非常高的以前的价格，旁边是当前大幅打折的价格。)”可知，在当前大幅降价的商品旁边看到一个非常高的以前的价格，结合划线单词所在的句子“Anchoring is a pricing strategy where we are shown an initial price, and then the real one.(锚定是一种定价策略，先给我们展示一个……价格，然后是实际价格。)”可知，锚定价格是先展示一个以前的价格，然后是实际价格，由此可以推断出，划线单词的意思与“以前的”意义相近。故选B项。【30题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Our brains are keen to reward us for finding bargains and many shops are keen to take advantage of this.(我们的大脑热衷于奖励我们发现便宜货，许多商店也热衷于利用这一点。)”以及全文的内容可知，大脑确实喜欢因发现便宜货而给予我们奖励。故选A项。【31题详解】主旨大意题。根据首段“Why can discounts and deals turn a simple shopping trip into chaos What is it that makes a bargain so appealing (为什么折扣和优惠会把一次简单的购物之旅变成混乱？是什么让便宜货如此有吸引力？)”可知，文章开篇提出问题，接下来的内容围绕大脑对购物的反应机制（思考花钱和想买的东西时大脑不同区域的反应、多巴胺的分泌等）以及零售商利用这些机制采用的定价策略（锚定策略、时间限制、魅力定价等）展开，解释了便宜货受顾客青睐的原因，所以题目“为什么顾客偏爱优惠”可以概括全文的主题，适合作为最佳标题。故选D项。DWhen it comes to being fit and healthy, we’re often reminded to aim to walk 10,000 steps per day. This can annoy many, especially when we’re busy with work and other commitments—and yet where did this number actually come from The 10,000 steps a day target seems to have come about from a trade name pedometer sold in1965 by Yamasa Clock in Japan. The device was called “Manpo-kei”, which translates to “10,000 steps meter”. This was a marketing tool for the device and has seemed to have stuck across the world as the daily step target. It’s even included in daily activity targets by popular smartwatches, such as Fitbit.Research has since investigated the 10,000 steps a day target. But while some research has shown health benefits at 10,000 steps, recent research from Harvard Medical School has shown that, on average, around 4.400 steps a day is enough to significantly lower the risk of death in women. This was when compared to only walking around 2,700 steps daily. The more steps people walked, the lower their risk of dying was，before leveling off at around 7,500 steps a day. No additional benefits were seen with more steps. Although it’s uncertain whether similar results would be seen in men, it’s one example of how moving a little bit more daily can improve health and lower risk of death.Recent research at the University of Texas has also demonstrated that if you’re walking fewer than 5,000 steps a day, your body is less able to metabolize (新陈代谢) fat the following day. A buildup of fat in the body can also increase a person’s likelihood of developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes. This is further supported by previous research which shows people who walked less than 4,000 steps a day could not change this decreased fat metabolism.If you want to increase how many steps you get daily, or simply want to move more, one easy way includes walking to work if possible, or taking part of an online exercise program if you’re working from home. Meeting with friends for a walk—rather than in a cafe or pub—can also be useful.32. What does the author think of the 10,000 steps per day A. It is an upsetting target to achieve. B. It is likely to go out of style quickly.C. It is a rising tendency of mental health D. It is effective in reducing pressure on work.33. What does research from the Harvard Medical School suggest about the target A. It matters as much as 7500 steps a day. B. The more steps, the lower risk of death.C. A bit more than the target can improve health. D. About half that target appears to be beneficial.34. What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us A. Absence of previous research. B. Recent findings of fat buildup.C. Problems of less daily walking. D. Possible causes of physical challenges.35. Which of the following is one of the suggested ways according to the passage A. Working at home. B. Treating friends in a cafe or pub.C. Driving to work. D. Signing up for online exercise programs.【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. D【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了每天走10000步这一目标的来源、相关研究及增加日常步数的建议。【32题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“When it comes to being fit and healthy, we’re often reminded to aim to walk 10,000 steps per day. This can annoy many, especially when we’re busy with work and other commitments — and yet where did this number actually come from (说起保持健康体魄，我们常被提醒要争取每天走一万步。这令许多人感到厌烦，尤其是当我们忙于工作和其他事务时——然而，这个数字究竟从何而来呢？)”可知，作者认为每天走10000步是一个令人烦恼的目标。故选A。【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中“But while some research has shown health benefits at 10,000 steps, recent research from Harvard Medical School has shown that, on average, around 4.400 steps a day is enough to significantly lower the risk of death in women.(虽然一些研究表明，每天走10000步对健康有益，但哈佛医学院最近的研究表明，平均每天走大约4400步就足以显著降低女性的死亡风险。)”可知，哈佛医学院的研究表明，大约是10000步目标的一半（4400步）似乎对降低女性死亡风险有益。故选D。【34题详解】主旨大意题。根据第四段中“Recent research at the University of Texas has also demonstrated that if you’re walking fewer than 5,000 steps a day, your body is less able to metabolize (新陈代谢) fat the following day. A buildup of fat in the body can also increase a person’s likelihood of developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes.(得克萨斯大学最近的研究也表明，如果你每天走路少于5000步，第二天你的身体分解脂肪的能力就会下降。体内脂肪堆积还会增加一个人患心血管疾病和糖尿病的可能性。)”可知，本段主要讲述了每天走路少（少于5000步）可能带来的问题，如身体代谢脂肪能力下降、增加患心血管疾病和糖尿病的风险等。故选C。【35题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段中“If you want to increase how many steps you get daily, or simply want to move more, one easy way includes walking to work if possible, or taking part of an online exercise program if you’re working from home.(如果你想增加每天的步数，或者只是想多运动，一个简单的方法包括如果可能的话步行上班，或者如果你在家工作的话，参加一个在线锻炼项目。)”可知，参加在线锻炼项目是增加日常步数的一个建议方法。故选D。第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Work with Different CulturesWorking effectively with different cultures is a necessary skill for anyone in a culturally diverse work environment.

As a shy and unnoticed student, he felt like a lone wolf, struggling against the complexities of high school life. Ms. Lau, his Chinese teacher, was a light in his otherwise dark world. Her warm smile and gentle behavior made her stand out among the sea of teachers. She was the only one who seemed to understand his conservative nature, always encouraging him to step out of his comfort zone.One day, after class, Ms. Lau approached Alex with excitement shining in her eyes. “Alex, I have an offer for you,” she said, her voice filled with enthusiasm. “I am organizing a cultural exchange program to China, and I believe it would be a great opportunity for you to explore a new world.”Alex’s heart skipped a beat, the prospect of traveling to a foreign country both exciting and terrifying. He hesitated, unsure if he had the courage to start such an adventure. But Ms. Lau’s firm belief in him gave him the push he needed to take a leap of faith.Under Ms. Lau’s guidance, Alex began preparing for the trip. He got really interested in Chinese culture and learned about its long history and traditions. Ms. Lau became his mentor (导师), teaching him not only the language but also invaluable life lessons. She taught him the importance of being confident and not giving up, reminding him that growth only happens outside one’s comfort zone.The day of departure arrived, and Alex found himself on a plane headed for China. He couldn’t help but feel amazed as he stepped off the plane and into a world so different from his own. The busy streets, bright colors, and unfamiliar sounds flooded his senses. Yet, Ms. Lau’s comforting presence by his side provided him with the strength to face the unknown.注意：1. 续写词数应为150词左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。During their time in China, Alex wholeheartedly enjoyed the experience.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Back in the United States, Alex was a changed person.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】He felt so excited that he couldn’t wait to explore China.

Besides that, he enjoyed a lot of Chinese delicious food. He liked the Beijing roast duck best. Most importantly, to his happiness, he made a lot of Chinese friends. They were friendly and kind to him.He was no longer shy and quiet. He became much more confident and outgoing.

He studied even harder and was also brave to express opinions and ideas in the class, which won popularity among teachers and students. More and more classmates made friends with Alex. He was much happier and more optimistic towards life and future.【解析】【分析】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了Alex这个小男孩经常坐在班级的后面，害羞，不引人注目，没有朋友，像一头孤狼一样独来独往。唯一带给Alex阳光和安慰的是他的语文老师，Ms. Lau。Ms. Lau鼓励他去参加中国的文化交流项目。中国之行彻底改变了Alex，让他变得阳光开朗。【详解】段落续写①由第一段首句“During their time in China, Alex wholeheartedly enjoyed the experience. ”(在中国期间，亚历克斯非常享受这段经历。)可知，第一段可描写Alex在中国旅行交流的经历。②由第二段首句“Back in the United States, Alex was a changed person.”(回到美国，亚历克斯变了一个人。)可知，第二段可描写Alex回到美国后发生的变化。续写线索：到中国→参观名胜古迹→吃美食→交中国朋友→回到美国→变化词汇激活行为类：①了解：learn about / know about②表达：speak up / express③爱上：fall in love with / lose one’s heart to情绪类：①开心做某事：be glad to do / be happy to do②积极乐观的：optimistic / positive③善良的：kind / nice【点睛】【高分句型1】He felt so excited that he couldn’t wait to explore China.(运用了so...that引导的结果状语从句)【高分句型2】Also, Alex visited several well-known places of interest in China, such as the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and so on, in which he learned much more about Chinese traditional culture and history.
