Pygmalion李仕才一、阅读理解A business school in Paris will soon begin using artificial intelligence and facial analysis to determine whether students are paying attention in class. The software, called Nestor, is used in two 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 expressions 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 declin ed, which could help to improve their teaching, Saucet 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 student’s individual needs, and help develop more effective studying habits. Such software could also help teachers by providing feedback on the effectiveness of their teaching, advocates say.Saucet says Nestor won’t 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’ calendars 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 like Nestor could be useful for students who take classes remotely, since “there isn’t 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 to go away,” he says. “There will always be professors.”1.How does Nestor work to find out when students aren’t paying attention?A. By collecting the data of students’ performance in different classes.B. By collecting the students’ grades in the quizzes.C. By shooting an d analyzing students’ eye movements and facial expressions..D. By identifying moments when students’ attention declined.2.Which is the benefit of AI education?A. It could be used exactly to replace a tutor.B. It helps student to develop more effective studying habits.C. The software is able to satisfy the requirement of a course.D. It could help teachers to give feedback on students’ performance..3.How does Nestor deal with the information collected from students?A. Nestor will use it to suggest pos sible study time to students’ schedule.B. It won’t store any video footage but facial expression.C. The company hasn’t expected to make profits by selling the data to other corporations..D. Nestor will use it to keep track online of students’ behavior a nd punish them.4.What is Rose Luckin’s attitude towards the replacement of teachers with AI?A. Objective.B. Approving.C. Indifferent.D. Opposed.【文章大意】本文介绍新的软件Nestor。
它通过对学生眼球运动和面部表情的拍摄和分析来判断学生是否注意力集中。
这种软件只对教学其辅助作用并不能替代老师。
2.B 【解析】细节理解题。
根据第三段第一句Advocates for AI in education say that thesoftware is actually unable to teach a course, but the technology could be used as a digital tutor that would adapt to a student’s individual needs, and help develop more effective studying habits.可知AI education帮助学生养成更有效的学习习惯。
故选B。
4.D 【解析】推理判断题。
根据最后一段中And while some are concerned that AI may oneday replace teachers, Luckin sees the technology more as an assistant, rather than a replacement. Saucet agrees.可知Rose Luckin’对AI成为老师的替代品持反对意见。
故选D。

Unit 4 PygmalionⅠ.阅读理解A(2017吉林梅河口测试)A qualified doctor who rarely practiced devoted his life to writing. He once said, “Medicine is my lawful wife, and literature is my lover.” Russian writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov was a great playwright and one of the masters of the modern short story.When Chekhov entered the Moscow University Medical School in 1879, he started to publish comic short stories to support his family. After he graduated, he wrote regularly for a local daily newspaper.As a writer he was extremely fast, often producing a short story in an hour or less. Chekhov’s medical and science experience can be seen through the indifference (冷漠) many of his characters show to tragic events. In 1892, he became a full-time writer and published some of his most memorable stories.Chekhov often wrote about the sufferings of people in small towns of Russia. Tragic events control his characters who are filled with feelings of hopelessness and despair.It is often said that nothing happens in Chekhov’s stor ies and plays. He made up for this with his exciting technique for developing dramas within his characters. Chekhov’s works combine the calm attitude of a scientist and doctor with the sensitivity(敏感) of an artist.Some of Chekhov’s works were translated i nto Chinese as early as the 1940s. One of his famous stories, The Man in a Shell, which is about a school teacher’s extraordinarily orderly life, was selected as a text for Chinese senior students.1.Which of the following is the right order of the events?a.became a doctorb.became a full-time writerc.started to publish comic short storiesd.wrote regularly for a local daily newspapere.entered the Moscow University Medical SchoolA.e→c→b→a→dB.e→c→a→d→bC.d→a→b→c→eD.a→e→d→c→b2.Anton Pavlovich Chekhov .A.was a competent doctorB.had a lawful lovered to be a lawyerD.is an illegal writer3.In 1880, Chekhov .A.became a full-time writerB.published his most memorable storiesC.studied in Moscow UniversityD.practiced medicine in his hometown4.Which of the following adjectives can’t be used to describe Chekhov?A.Sensitive.B.Cool.C.Quick-minded.D.Warm-hearted.B(2018吉林长春高三一模,B)Celeste Ng, a new writer, has gained recognition for her first novel, Everything I Never Told You.N g’s parents came from Hong Kong, China in the 1960s.Ng was born in America and grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Shaker Heights, Ohio, in a family of scientists.

The main character is Lydia, a teenage girl, who is the favorite of three children born to a white mother and a Chinese-American father. The story is about Lydi a’s disappearance, and the emotions the family goes through as the mystery unfolds. The whole family deals with sorrow, regret, and exposed secrets as they search for their lost daughter.Though the characters in this story are Asian, Ng says she didn’t re ally want to include Asian characters. She was afraid people would think the story was about real people in her life. Because she grew up in America and doesn’t speak Chinese, she was actually surprised that she included Asian characters in the Book.The B ook has taken off, especially on Amazon, where it won the Editor’s Pick for No.1 Best Book of the Year in 2014.Ng is still getting used to the attention, saying she is still amazed when people tell her they have read her Book.

2019届高三英语一轮复习 Unit 4 Pygmalion练习新人教版选修8 Ⅰ.阅读理解AI learnt about the Pygmalion effect when I was 7 years old at Riverdale School in Palmerston North and I copied Melissa Crawford's answers in a spelling test. Before that I was average at school but after that, because Melissa Crawford was smart, and I got all the right answers, I got put in all the smart kids groups.From then I did really well at school because it was believed by theteachers that I would and I also got grouped with the smart kids. Thisexperience that occurred at my primary school shows just how important thePygmalion effect is in terms of being around mentors (导师) that expect thatyou' re going to do well and also being around people who are smart.The Pygmalion effect is one principle you want to use if you want to make money fast. Have mentors that expect you will make money fast and as an extra boost hang around, copy and learn from other people who are also making money fast.Yesterday this sit e had over 5,000 unique visitors and the traffic to it is increasing all the time. A year ago I contacted a group of people who got lots of traffic on their sites and I learnt from them. Truthfully I don't know if they expected me to start getting decent traffic to websites but I imagined they did so they might as well have.So there you have it the Pygmalion effect.P．S. My grammar and spelling are not that great nowadays but that's actually completely irrelevant (不相关的) when it comes to getting lots of visitors to your site.语篇解读：文章通过自己的经历告诉我们皮革马利翁的神奇力量。

选修8 Unit 4 Pygmalion李仕才一、阅读理解AThe Swedish Academy that awards the Nobel Prize has apparently still been unable to contact Bob Dylan about his acceptance of the honour. On Thursday, Dylan gave a concert in Las Vegas and didn't mention the fact that he had just won the world's most honoured literary award. He didn't acknowledge it on Friday when he performed in Coachella, either. In a recent interview with The Telegraph, he said that he'd “absolutely” attend the ceremony “if it's at all possible”， and he finally called the Academy to accept the prize though later he wrote a personal letter to the Academy, which said he would not receive the award in person at the December ceremony in Stockholm. But what would happen if Dylan had continued to screen the Academy's calls?JeanPaul Sartre is the only known winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature to have declined the award voluntarily; he had written a letter to the committee in 1964 asking not to be considered at all, but these were the days before email, and the letter arrived when they had already decided to give it to him that year. Sartre believed every individual is responsible for creating a purpose for their life. By accepting the prize, Sartre would have to associate himself with the institution that honoured him. “It is not the same thing if I sign JeanPaul Sartre or if I sign JeanPaul Sartre, Nobel Prize winner，” he complained. “A writer must refuse to allow himself to be transformed into an institution(名流), even if it takes place in the most ho nourable form.”Other writers have declined it because they feared persecution(迫害). The Soviet writer Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn did not travel to Stockholm for his ceremony in 1970, because he was concerned that the Soviet Union would not allow him to return afterwards. The committee refused Solzhenitsyn's request for a public ceremony at the Swedish Embassy in Moscow, so he initially turned down the prize, but formally accepted it in 1974 after he was exiled (放逐)．But while it is possible to refuse to accept the prize money, it isn't possible to refuse the title.

Unit 4 Global warmingⅠ.阅读理解A(2015陕西,C)The production of coffee beans is a huge,profitable business,but,unfortunately,full-sun production is taking over the industry and bringing about a lot of damage.The change in how coffee is grown from shade-grown production to full-sun production endangers the very existence of certain animals and birds,and even disturbs the world's ecological balance.On a local level,the damage of the forest required by full-sun fields affects the area's birds and animals.The shade of the forest trees provides a home for birds and other species(物种)that depend on the trees' flowers and fruits.Full-sun coffee growers destroy this forest home.As a result,many species are quickly dying out.On a more global level,the destruction of the rainforest for full-sun coffee fields also threatens(威胁)human life.Medical research often makes use of the forests' plant and animal life,and the destruction of such species could prevent researchers from finding cures for certain diseases.In addition,new coffee-growing techniques are poisoning the water locally,and eventually the world's groundwater.Both locally and globally,the continued spread of full-sun coffee plantations(种植园)could mean the destruction of the rainforest ecology.The loss of shade trees is already causing a slight change in the world's climate,and studies show that the loss of oxygen-giving trees also leads to air pollution and global warming.Moreover,the new growing techniques are contributing to acidic(酸性的)soil conditions.It is obvious that the way much coffee is grown affects many aspects of life,from the local environment to the global ecology.But consumers do have a choice.They can purchase shade-grown coffee whenever possible,although at a higher cost.The future health of the planet and mankind is surely worth more than an inexpensive cup of coffee.1.What can we learn about full-sun coffee production from Paragraph 4?A.It limits the spread of new growing techniques.B.It leads to air pollution and global warming.C.It slows down the loss of shade trees.D.It improves local soil conditions.2.The purpose of the text is to .A.entertainB.advertiseC.instructD.persuade3.Where does this text probably come from?A.An agricultural magazine.B.A medical journal.C.An engineering textbook.D.A tourist guide.4.Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?(P:Paragraph)B(2018河南郑州一中高三入学考试,B)Enjoying a musical performance no longer requires a costly ticket or a trip to a theater. These days, musicians are performing in private homes, in salons, at airports...even on ferryboats.Musicians like house concerts. At music clubs, they often have to perform over the loud conversation or deal with people who have drunk too much alcohol. People at house concerts are more focused on listening to the music.Just a few hours before the Bombadils started singing in the O'Hair Salon, Lindsay washaving her hair cut and Tamera was having facials. Then, they moved chairs and microphones to create a small performance space. The Bombadils played music in the front part of the hair salon, near the hair dryers and dressing table.“This is our first show in a hair salon,”Sarah Frank of the Bombadils told concertgoers at last week's performance. Frank said she and band members Luke Fraser and Kaitlyn Raitz had a great time “interacting” with the audience.Concerts in people's homes, or small businesses such as O'Hair are becoming more and more popular, musicians say. “There is a more relaxed atmosphere,”said Domenic Cicala, the owner of the salon.“People really get to know the artists.”At house concerts, people get time before and after concerts to meet the performers. Very often the hosts or guests will provide food and drink.“People really like listening to music in the living room of a friend,”said Matt Hart, making up Local Strangers a folk-rock group based in Seattle with Aubrey Zoli. At many such concerts, the musicians do not need microphones. However, every word of their songs can be heard.5.Why do musicians like house concerts?A.Because private homes are easier to get to.B.Because people pay more attention to their music.C.Because they can do other things while performing.D.Because they don't have to bring their microphones.6.What impressed Sarah Frank most at her last week's performance?A.The small performance space.B.Her first show in a hair salon.C.Their “interacting” with the audience.D.The more relaxed atmosphere.7.How many music groups are mentioned in the text?A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.8.What may be the best title for the text?A.Musicians struggle to make a livingB.People really get to know the artistsC.Musicians find new places to performD.Concertgoers won't go to music clubsⅡ.语法填空(2018山西重点中学协作体高三一联)阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
2019年高中英语一轮总复习 Unit4 Pygmalion 练习题(人教新课标)
Unit 4 Pygmalion 专题练习I.阅读理解AThe work of Rosenthal and Jacobson shows that teacher expectations influence students' performance. Positive expectations influence performance positively, and negative expectations influence performance negatively. Rosenthal and Jacobson originally described the phenomenon as the Pygmalion effect. Rosenthal wrote in 1985, “When we expect certain behaviors of others, we are likely to act in ways that make the expected behavior more likely to occur.”The original research of Rosenthal and Jacobson focused on an experiment at an elementary school where students took intelligence pretests. Rosenthal and Jacobson then informed the teachers of the names of 20% of the students in the school who were showing “unusual potential for intellectual growth” and would have excellent academic performance within the year. Unknown to the teachers, these students were selected randomly (随意地) with no relation to the pretest.When Rosenthal and Jacobson tested the students eight months later, they discovered that the randomly selected students who the teachers thought would perform excellently scored much higher. Why does the Pygmalion effect occur? If the teacher thinks the students can't achieve very much, or are not bright enough, he/she may tend to teach simple stuff, do lots of drills, read from his/her notes, and give simple assignments calling for simplistic answers, according to scientists.Therefore, there are some practical tips for teachers: Never forecast failure in the classroom. If you know a test is particularly difficult, tell your students that the test is difficult but you are sure that they will do well if they work hard to prepare for it. Do not participate in gripe (发牢骚) sessions about students. Teachers who gripe about students are establishing a culture of failure for their students, their department and their own teaching. Establish high expectations. Students achieve more when teachers have higher expectations. When you give students a difficult assignment, tell them, “I know you can do this.” If you genuinely believe that your students cannot perform the assignment, put off the assignment and reteach the material.1.How did Rosenthal and Jacobson conduct their experiment?A.They trained the selected students before experimenting.B.They selected the students without referring to the test results.C.They gave pretests in order to divide students into different groups.D.They selected students according to the students' academic performance.2.How do the teachers teach less potential students according to the scientists?A.They praise them all the time.B.They spare no efforts to help them.C.They are likely to give them easy homework.D.They ask them to practice more to catch up with others.3.What is the best title of this passage?A.No Pains, No Gains.B.Testing Matters in Education.C.How to Be a Qualified Teacher.D.The Higher Expectations, the Better Achievements.BI learnt about the Pygmalion Effect (皮格马利翁效应) when I was 7 years old at Riverdale School in Palmerston North and I copied Melissa Crawford's answers in a spelling test. Before that I was average at school but after that, because Melissa Crawford was smart, and I got all the right answers, I got put in all the smart kids groups. From then I did really well at school because it was believed by the teachers that I would and I also got grouped with the smart kids. This experience that occurred at my primary school shows just how important the Pygmalion Effect is in terms of being around mentors (导师) that expect that you're going to do well and also being around people who are smart.The Pygmalion Effect is one principle you want to use if you want to make money fast. Have mentors that expect you will make money fast and as an extra boost hang around, copy and learn from other people who are also making money fast.Yesterday this site had over 5,000 unique visitors and the traffic to it is increasing all the time. A year ago I contacted a group of people who got lots of traffic in their sites and I learnt from them. Truthfully, I don't know if they expected me to start getting decent traffic to websites but I imagined they did so they might as well have.So there you have it, the Pygmalion Effect.P. S.
