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.
1．What is the Pops Advisor
A．A voice assistant. B．A video player.
C．A time tracker. D．An evaluation tool.
2．Which of the following categories provides feedback on facial expressions
A．Delivery. B．Introduction. C．Body. D．Conclusion.
3．Who is the text intended for
A．Lab technicians. B．Public speech instructors.
C．Foreign language learners. D．Artificial Intelligence engineers.

As a senior resident, I often distributed poems to my team, printing and posting them above the computers in our hospital workrooms. Once, during a rare quiet moment in the ICU, with permission from my colleagues, I read a couple of poems out loud. I remember watching my colleagues’ eyes close and their bodies visibly relax as the words washed over them.
Since then, I have shared poems — my own and others’ — in talks at my institution and across the country. I’ve also led other healthcare providers in creative writing exercises during workshops, lectures and classes. Many institutions host book clubs, story slams, film screenings and other opportunities for medical learners to engage with the humanities (人文学科).
While poetry can be frightening to some, many contemporary poems provide approachable emotional experiences. Pieces like Safiya Sinclair’s “Notes on the State of Virginia” fully illustrate how a place that seems innocent or even beautiful to some can be upsetting to others. Monica Sok’s “ABC for Refugees” powerfully paints a portrait of a young child caught between languages and cultures — a reality that many pediatric (儿科的) patients face. “Ode to Small Towns” by Tyree Daye overturns common assumptions about rural life. In “Medical History”, Nicole Sealey shares a patient’s perspective on a part of health care that, for many of my students and colleagues, has been reduced to a series of check boxes on a computer screen. These and other poems provide fertile ground for enhanced understanding of the human condition, as well as inspiration for a clinician’s own potentially transformative reflective writing.
The possibilities for cooperation between literature and medicine are wide open. I believe all clinicians have a role in recognizing and dealing with how everyone has been shaped by an unreasonable society. The history, sociopolitical context, imaginative perspective and reflective practices the humanities offer may improve the practice of medicine. Through understanding others’ experiences and reflecting critically on their own, every clinician can move closer to being the kind of healer they intend to be.
4．What can we infer about the author's practice of sharing poems
A．It started in the ICU and has expanded to multiple settings.
B．It focuses only on creating original poems for medical teams.
C．It has replaced other humanities activities in medical institutions.
D．It is mainly carried out through public lectures across the country.
5．Whose poem may change people's beliefs about the countryside
A．Monica Sok’s. B．Tyree Daye’s.
C．Safiya Sinclair’s. D．Nicole Sealey’s.
6．What does Nicole Sealey’s work seem to imply
A．Doctors should have better medical skills.
B．It's urgent to upgrade the medical equipment.
C．There's room for improvement in medical care.
D．A patient can be treated from different perspectives.
7．Which statement does the author probably agree with
A．The humanities help make a better doctor.
B．The clinicians are to shape our future society.
C．Doctors must learn from each other’s experiences.
D．Reflective writing greatly benefits a doctor’s skills.
C
Does it often feel as if the world is getting stupider Data released by the OECD suggests that a fifth of adults do no better in maths and reading than a primary school child. In maths, average scores have risen in a few places over the past ten years, but fallen in almost as many. In literacy (读写能力), a lot more countries have seen scores decline than advance, despite the fact that adults hold more and higher educational qualifications than ever before.
Demographic change offers some explanation — new immigrants often struggle with a new language while the native-born have ageing brains. Basic numeracy (计算能力) and literacy are oddly unfashionable compared with fashionable “soft skills”, like generative AI: Overstating the importance of times-tables (乘法表) seems even more boring when talking robots promise to do all the hard work.
Yet a century of technological development has not cut demand for people who are good with numbers or words. Adults who do badly in the OECD’s tests earn much less than those who top them. They are also in poorer health, less satisfied with their life, less trusting of others and more likely to feel that they have no voice in politics.
What to do Improving lessons for children is the surest way of creating more capable grownups. England’s adults have gradually improved their position in the OECD’s rankings, mostly because the youngest ones are scoring better than before. The second task is to modernize outdated systems for educating adults. These give dropouts a second chance; they also serve people who change careers and help immigrants integrate.
In too many places, a craze for universities has cut back on funding and focus on the kinds of lessons that people aged 18 and above could be offered. Degrees are becoming less meaningful: the OECD has found that even some university graduates post numeracy and literacy scores that might embarass a child. Meanwhile, those adults who want to return to class without beginning with long, expensive university courses often find good alternatives are lacking. Faster actions to fix all these problems seem like a bright idea.
8．What does the data released by the OECD show
A．Adults may be less literate than before.
B．The majority of adults are well-educated.
C．Children can have easier access to education.
D．Adults find numeracy and literacy less useful.
9．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A．The effectiveness of education. B．The role of advanced technology.
C．The value of literacy and numeracy. D．The decline in political engagement.
10．Why is England mentioned in paragraph 4
A．To criticize its outdated education system.
B．To reveal the decrease in its dropout rate.
C．To demonstrate its high ranking in the OECD．
D．To highlight the significance of children’s education.
11．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．University students are financially supported.
B．Children are embarrassingly worse in numeracy.
C．Degrees and abilities are not necessarily matched.
D．Expensive university courses have good alternatives.
D
On Tuesday, China announced it had grown the first ever plants on the moon, days after landing on the moon’s “far side” Von Karman crater. The cotton seed sprouts (新芽) seemed to have withstood the tough lunar conditions: freezing temperatures, lower gravity levels, and radiation. But by Thursday, the new cotton seed sprouts had died already, according to Liu Hanlong, the experiment leader, in a government press conference statement.
After Chang’e-4 landed on the far side of the moon earlier this month, the probe (探测器) was sent a command to remotely water the plants and start the growing process. A tube directed natural light on the surface of the moon into the small container to allow the plants to grow. The probe entered a sleep mode on Sunday, the first lunar night after the probe’s landing.
Professor Xie Gengxin, professor at Chongqing University and chief designer of the experiment, told CNN that it ended after nine days when the control team shut down the power. Xie said temperatures inside the biosphere (生物圈) had grown too abnormal and reached extremes that would likely kill all life, including the seeds and eggs during the lunar night. Xie didn’t confirm why temperatures had risen to levels unbearable for the plants in spite of the measures taken by the research team.
Even though the experiment was quickly ended, Xie considered it a success. The cotton were the only seeds to sprout, however, and despite many assumptions about the future possibility of moon clothes, the cotton plant’s main purpose this time was to give researchers the valuable data on how to cultivate life in the moon’s tough conditions. The eventual ability to grow plants on the moon could prove useful for long-term space missions, like a trip to Mars. Astronauts could theoretically harvest their own food in space, avoiding the need to return to Earth to resupply.
Aside from the apparent failure of the biological or plant experiment, the rest of China’s mission to the far side of the moon appeared on track as of Thursday. The historic mission is intended to accomplish a range of tasks, including conducting the first lunar low-frequency radio astronomy experiment and exploring whether there is water at the moon’s poles.
12．What does the underlined word “withstood” mean
A．Appreciated. B．Suffered from. C．Tolerated. D．been subject to.
13．What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A．The measures of the research team. B．The cause of ceasing the experiment.
C．The reason for the extreme temperature. D．The failure and impact of the experiment.
14．What is the major target of the plant experiment
A．To make moon clothes possible.
B．To ensure its value for long-term space missions.
C．To enable astronauts to harvest their own food in space.
D．To collect data on how to grow life in severe conditions.
15．What is the best title for the text
A．China’s first ever moon plants have died
B．China’s mission to the far side of the moon
C．The Chang’e-5 sample-return mission
D．Astronauts’ efforts to cultivate life in the moon

The use of the sharp-eyed robot reflects China’s ongoing efforts 29 (enhance) protection through high-end technologies.
Additionally, professionals are introducing innovative “treatments” to preserve the cultural heritage site, one of 30 is a biological conservation method developed by Liu’s team.
Rain damage has been a constant threat to the 31 (stable) of rammed earth (夯土) walls. However, experts found that certain walls were remarkably 32 (resist) to water damage. A special type of algae (藻类) growing on the earth surface turned out to be the real guardian against rain damage. Recently, the team has cultivated the organism and applied the effective, eco-friendly method 33 the surface of the rammed earth walls.
These technologies not just strengthen the Great Wall’s physical structures, 34 serve as a bridge connecting people to the Wall’s cultural heritage and raising public awareness of its protection. The educational institutions are doing just that. For example, special courses integrating the use of AI tools, such as DeepSeek, with knowledge on the Great Wall, 35 (develop) for children, according to Dong Yaohui, head of the research institute of the Great Wall at Hebei GEO University.

The cotton seed sprouts (新芽) seemed to have withstood the tough lunar conditions: freezing temperatures, lower gravity levels, and radiation.(周二，中国宣布在月球“远端”冯·卡门陨石坑着陆几天后，首次在月球上种植了植物。棉花种子新芽似乎withstood月球恶劣环境的考验：极低的温度、较低的重力水平和辐射)”可知，中国首次在月球上种出了植物，说明棉花种子新芽在月球的恶劣环境中存活了下来，经受住了考验。由此推知，划线词“withstood”意为“忍受，承受”，与C项“Tolerated”意思相近。故选C项。
13．主旨大意题。根据第三段“Professor Xie Gengxin, professor at Chongqing University and chief designer of the experiment, told CNN that it ended after nine days when the control team shut down the power. Xie said temperatures inside the biosphere (生物圈) had grown too abnormal and reached extremes that would likely kill all life, including the seeds and eggs during the lunar night. Xie didn’t confirm why temperatures had risen to levels unbearable for the plants in spite of the measures taken by the research team.(重庆大学教授、该实验首席设计师谢更新教授告诉CNN，九天后，当控制团队关闭电源时，实验结束。谢教授说，生物圈内的温度变得异常，达到了极端水平，在月球夜晚可能会杀死包括种子和卵在内的所有生命。谢教授没有确认为什么尽管研究小组采取了措施，温度还是上升到了植物无法忍受的水平)”可知，本段主要介绍了实验停止的原因，即生物圈内温度异常，达到了极端水平，可能会杀死所有生命。故选B项。
14．细节理解题。根据第四段中“The cotton were the only seeds to sprout, however, and despite many assumptions about the future possibility of moon clothes, the cotton plant’s main purpose this time was to give researchers the valuable data on how to cultivate life in the moon’s tough conditions.(棉花是唯一发芽的种子，然而，尽管有很多关于未来月球衣服可能性的猜测，棉花植物这次的主要目的是为研究人员提供关于如何在月球恶劣条件下培育生命的有价值数据)”可知，植物实验的主要目标是收集有关如何在恶劣条件下种植生命的数据。故选D项。
15．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“But by Thursday, the new cotton seed sprouts had died already, according to Liu Hanlong, the experiment leader, in a government press conference statement.(但据实验负责人刘汉龙在政府新闻发布会上称，截至周四，新的棉花种子新芽已经死亡)”和第四段中“Even though the experiment was quickly ended, Xie considered it a success.(尽管实验很快就结束了，但谢认为它是成功的)”可知，文章主要报道了中国在月球背面种植的棉花种子新芽已经死亡的消息，同时介绍了此次实验的目的、过程和意义。故A项“中国首次在月球上种植的植物已经死亡”最适合作为文章标题。故选A项。
