三、阅读理解
Ambar presses her hand to her forehead as she considers the question on her screen: how many sevens in 91 The ten-year-old has been struggling with it for about a minute when she smiles,“13!” Her tutor responds by posting a large smiling cat picture on her screen—the virtual (虚构的) meaning of a pat on the back. He is sitting on the .other side of the world in an online tutoring centre in India.
Ambar, who attends Pakeman Primary School in London, is one of nearly 4,000 primary school children in Britain that have signed up for weekly one-to-one maths sessions with tutors based in India and Sri Lanka. The lessons, provided by a company called Third Space Learning, are targeted at pupils struggling with maths particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds.
From next year, the platform will become one of the first examples of artificial intelligence (AI) software being used to monitor, and ideally improve, teaching. Together with some British scientists, the company has analysed around 100,000 hours of audio and written data from its tutorials(辅导课), with the goal of identifying what makes a good teacher and a successful lesson.
Tom Hooper, the company's CEO, said, “We’ve recorded every lesson that we've ever clone. By using the data, we've been trying to introduce AI to improve the teaching. But he argued that the aim was not to replace teachers with robots. “There's a slightly dubious(不确定的)conversation about how AI will make humans irrelevant,but it’s not at all about replacing humans," he said. "Our whole belief is that for children not doing well in the subject,people are what matters."
Pupils on the programme have a 45-minute session with the same tutor each week. They communicate through a headset and a shared “whiteboard The lessons at Pakeman Primary School are tailored to the individual* including visual rewards linked to the child's interests. In addition to the raw audio data,each lesson has various success metrics attached: how many problems are completed, how useful the pupil finds the session, how the tutor rates it...

2.What do we know about Third Space Learning
A.It makes good teachers and lessons.

D.It provides online maths lessons for schoolchildren.
3.Which may Tom Hooper agree with

Secondly, you should have the ability to adapt quickly to the new environment. Besides, your interest is valued as well, for it has a lot to do with success.
