26、While the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more so for some elementary school students in Auckland, New Zealand. They became the world’s first kids to be “taught” by a digital teacher, Will. Before you start imagining a human-like robot walking around the classroom, Will is just an avatar(化身) that turns up on the students’ desktop, tablet, or smartphone screen when called.

Thanks to a digital camera and microphone, the avatar not only responds to questions the kids may have ,but also picks up non-verbal signals. For example, if a student smiles at Will, he responds by smiling back. This two-way communication not only helps draw the students’ attention, but also allows the program’s developers to monitor their involvement(参与) and make changes if needed.

Vector’s Chief Digital Officer, Nikhil Ravishankar, believes that Will-like avatars could be a novel way to attract the attention of the next generation. He says, “Using a digital human is a very popular method to deliver new information to people, and I have a lot of hope in this technology as a means to deliver rich and educational experience in the future.” Greg Cross, the Chief Business Officer for Soul Machines, states that kids who have grown up in this digital time adapt(适应) to new technology quickly, and he hopes to develop the idea of digital humans in the area of educate further.

The program, in place since August 2018, has been a great success so far. However, no matter how popular it becomes, Will is unlikely to replace human edueators any time soon. For one, the avatar’s knowledge base is severely limited. But more importantly, even the smartest digital avatars could never predict and react to all the unexpected situations that educators have to deal with on a daily basis. However, it could come in handy as a “personal teacher”, providing kids with one-on-one help on the subjects or even topics.

【1】What is mentioned about Will in the first paragraph?

A．He is a human-like robot teacher.

B．He is the first robot teacher in the world.

C．He is a digital teacher teaching in a school.

D．He will walk across the classroom to you when called.

【2】In what way does the digital teacher help the students?

A．By taking part in discussion.

B．By changing teaching methods.

C．By communicating with students.

D．By monitoring students’ behavior.

【3】What is Greg Cross’s attitude toward the digital teacher?

A．Supportive.

B．Doubtful.

C．Uncaring.

D．Dissatisfied.

【4】What can be inferred about the digital teacher from the last paragraph?

A．It has entered many homes as kids’ private teacher.

B．It will teach in class in place of human educators.

C．It’s good at handling unexpected situations.

D．It remains to be improved.

27、   ""May I speak with Jeanne Kerr?" I said, crossing my fingers

"Who's asking?" the voice rose.

“It's Regina Louise, I think we may've met "I don't believe so," the stranger said, hanging up the phone.

I crossed out another Jeanne from my long list. The first time I met Jeanne was May 1, 1975 at Edgar Children's Shelter where I was disliked by all the social workers except Jeanne.

The last time I saw Jeanne was in 1977. I was 15 years old, standing in a courtroom (法 庭)，asking the court to allow Jeanne Kerr to adopt (收养)me. However, Jeanne's request to adopt me was refused because she was white and I was black. Then 1 was placed in a treatment center for disturbed girls .

By 2002, at age 40, I operated two successful hair salons. I wrote a book about my early teenage years from 13 to 15, a story that followed me through meeting Jeanne and losing her.

One evening, I checked my email and came across the words: "I am so proud of you, sweetheart!" My heart stopped. I opened the email, and it was from Jeanne . An old co-worker of hers had read my book and called Jeanne to tell her "Your Regina is looking for you.”

I dialed the number given in the email immediately. We chatted a lot excitedly. At last, she told me, “I want to make you my daughter.

Three weeks later, I stood in the same courtroom where Jeanne's first request to adopt me had been refused. After the judge told us to live with and love one another as mother and daughter for the rest of our lives, I turned to Jeanne and whispered, "Thank you 一 Mommy 一 for loving me, when no one else could."

【1】Why did Jeanne fail to adopt Regina at first?

A. Because Jeanne worked at the Shelter.

B. Because Jeanne was of a different race.

C. Because Regina found her mother.

D. Because Regina behaved badly.

【2】What helped Regina find Jeanne?

A. The treatment center.

B. The courtroom.

C. Regina's book.

D. Regina's hair salons.

【3】What can be a suitable title for the text?

C. I fought for a good life D. A girl's teenage years.

28、   In American countryside, the message we hear is this: Go and get an education. Leave your small town and make something of yourself 【1】. Leave. Go.

After graduating from a high school in Helena, Arkansas, I did go.

I went to Colby College in Maine. I had visited the school ahead of time, so I knew what I was getting myself into. I knew about the difference in weather. 【2】. But I wanted to challenge and get out of my comfort zone. And you now what? 【3】. Only one thing took me by surprise — few students were from the country side. Most of the other students at Colby were from big cities: New York, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco... And when I had conversations with these students — in or outside of class — we almost always focused on topics facing large American cities. In my education classes, it was always “urban this” and “urban that”.

【4】.

And this urban interest doesn’t just happen in college. I went to an education meeting a couple of years ago, and a professor, an expert in education, was there to give a speech. I was chosen to be part of a small group that got to meet with him. So there we were, five or six of us sitting in a room, and I asked him, “What are your thoughts on the state of education in the countryside?” And this man was speechless.

I’ll never forget that moment. It speaks to a larger truth. Towns like mine are forgotten.

More and more young people are heading for our big cities, leaving small towns and never coming back. But I don’t want to add to that movement. 【5】. Now it’s my turn to help people younger than me. And you know what? I’m a sixth grade teacher in Helena now.

A. I want to do the opposite

B. Understood the difference in social atmosphere.

C. Get well prepared for your future.

D. I did love my time there.

E. Young people can’t go back to their towns.

F. It was like small town America didn’t exist.

G. Success and opportunity are found elsewhere.

32、阅读以下文章，并撰写文章的概要。

The famous classical pianist, Kong Xiangdong, surprised his fans last week by giving a concert combining classical music with Chinese folk music. Kong explained that he tried this because he wanted to create something new." As a musician, playing the same music in different cities of the world is very boring, "says Kong. He also feels that playing Chinese folk music on the piano can help bring it to the rest of the world.

Music has always been part of Kong's world. As his mother was a great music lover, he lived with music from birth. But it wasn't always easy for the young Kong Xiangdong. His mother couldn't buy him a piano until he was seven. She had to draw piano keys on a piece of paper so that he could learn to play as early as possible. The 5-year-old Kong would practice on the paper piano as his mother clapped the rhythm. He was made to practice the piano so much that, at times, he thought about giving up. However, he didn't quit, and he became a great pianist. In 1986,at the age of 18,he became the youngest prize winner in Moscow's Tchaikovsky International Competition. He went on to win awards in competitions across the world.

Because of Kong's talent and hard work, he became famous worldwide. But after years of performing, he felt that in some ways he had lost his identity. This is why he went back to his roots and rediscovered the beauty in Chinese folk music. He began experimenting with different styles and his Dream Tour Concert is the result.

Kong's new experiment in Chinese folk music is so important to him that he even changed his appearance. When he arrived at his concert last week, he had shaved off all his hair! Since his music style was new, he decided his hairstyle had to be new too!

Whether Kong is changing his appearance or transforming his music, he is a pioneer in music today. The concert last week was such a success that Kong's Dream Tour Concert is expected to run for the next two years in Beijing, Shanghai, and other main cities before going to Paris and New York.
