Pygmalion一、閱讀理解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（網(wǎng)絡(luò)攝像機(jī)）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 declined, 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 students 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 wont store any of the video footage it gets and that his pany 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 isnt 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 arent paying attention?A.

Nestor will use it to suggest possible study time to students schedule.B. It wont store any video footage but facial expression.C. The pany hasnt expected to make profits by selling the data to other corporations.D. Nestor will use it to keep track online of students behavior and punish them.4.What is Rose Luckins attitude towards the replacement of teachers with AI?A. Objective.B. Approving.C. Indifferent.D. Opposed.【文章大意】本文介紹新的軟件Nestor。它通過(guò)對(duì)學(xué)生眼球運(yùn)動(dòng)和面部表情的拍攝和分析來(lái)判斷學(xué)生是否注意力集中。這種軟件只對(duì)教學(xué)其輔助作用并不能替代老師。2.B 【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第一句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 students individual needs, and help develop more effective studying habits.可知AI education幫助學(xué)生養(yǎng)成更有效的學(xué)習(xí)習(xí)慣。故選B。 4.D 【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中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.可知Rose Luckin對(duì)AI成為老師的替代品持反對(duì)意見。故選D。二、教材與語(yǔ)法填空根據(jù)教材課文內(nèi)容，在空白處填入1個(gè)適當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~或括號(hào)內(nèi)單詞的正確形式。My Fair Lady was the title of a 1._ (success)musical and later it was also made into a film 2._ (base) on George Bernard Shaws classic Pygmalion.
