Unit1 Using Language, Assessing Your Progress & Video Time 能力提升练
（2020辽宁省实验中学高二月考）
一、阅读理解
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, just like in the science fiction. Before you start imagining human-like robot pacing around the classroom, Will is just an avatar（化身）that appears students’ desktop, or the smartphone screen, when ordered to come.
The autonomous animation platform has been modeled after the human brain and nervous system allowing it to show human-like behavior. The digital teacher is assigned to teach Vedtor’s “Be sustainable with energy”-a free program for Auckland’s elementary schools.
Just like the humans it replaces, Will is able to instantly react to the students’ responses to the topic. Thanks to a webcam and a microphone, the avatar not only responds to questions the kids may have, but also picks up non-verbal cues randomly. For instance, if a student smiles at Will, he responds by smiling back. This two-way interaction not only helps attract the students’ attention, but also allows the programs’ developers to monitor their engagement, and make changes if needed.
Nikhil Ravishankar believes that Will-like tars could be a novel way to catch the attention of the next generation. He says, “I have a lot of hopes for this technology as a means to deliver cost effective, rich and educational experience in the future.”
The program, in place since August 2018, has been a great success thus far. Ravishankar says, “ What was fascinating to me was the reaction of the children to Will. The way they look at the world is so creative and different, and Will really captured their attention. However, regardless of how popular it becomes, Will is unlikely to replace human educators any time soon.”
1. What was special for some elementary school students in Auckland
A. A digital teacher taught them.

2. What is the benefit of this two-way interaction
A. It can smile back.
B. It can use the microphone.
C. It can talk any topic for free.
D. It can change if necessary.
3. What’s Ravishankar’s attitude to wills replacing human educators soon
A. Optimistic B. Doubtful
C. Unclear D. Disapproving
4. What might be the best title for the passage
A. New High Tech Contributes to Education

D. New Zealand Will Replace Teachers in Classrooms

Smartphones store a lot of personal data. These devices know our names, the names of our friends, our addresses and where we are right now. 1 A weather app needs to know where a person is to report the local forecast, for example.
Many smartphone apps don’t cost anything download and use. But don’t be fooled. There’s still a price. 2 Those same apps may often send data such as your salary or your address on to advertisers as well. Those advertisers will pay well to know how people behave and live. Once your data leave a device, you can’t get them back. And that data theft may not be harmless. Moreover, those data may tell when someone leaves home and when he gets back. 3 Social media sites often have access to a user’s images and posts.
Recently a new online tool has been developed to track the misuse of private data. 4 It tells people when their apps are sending data, and which can help spot the misuse. SPEProxy identifies the misuse of data using an approach that has already been used to diagnose illnesse.
In the clinical field, a kind of medical software has been tested out and used to collect data from a patient. Then it compares them to those symptoms of many possible ill nesses to make a diagnosis.
Right now, people can only track data with the new tool by going to a website. __5__ It’s also a bit awkward to use. People may not want to take the trouble to get online to track their data. A more convenient version that people could install on their phones is in urgent need.
It is called SPEProxy.
B. That means it’s limited.
C. It is more than convenient to use in computers.
D. Your privacy is what’s paid for it.
E. Some apps use those data to do their job.
F. Some apps may charge you much money to operate.
They can show how and where people spend their days.
1. ________ 2. ________ 3. ________ 4. ________ 5. ________

“It doesn’t look too good, darling. I think you’d better pack a few things and go to your mother’s place. And you’d better take Rosie and Monty with you.”
Putting down the phone, Sara sighed. Tomorrow was her husband Tony’s birthday. She had planned to cook him a nice meal and then surprise him with the new mountain bike she’d bought for him. If she went to her mother’s house, Tony wouldn’t get his present for days.
However, her mother’s house was the best place to be right now. Being on higher land, it would be safe from the floods. It had been raining heavily for almost two weeks and the river near Sara and Tony’s house was rising higher and higher all the time. Tony and others from the village had spent the past two days putting sandbags along the side of the river to stop it from overflowing. Now they feared that the hard work had been useless and soon the whole valley would be flooded.
Sara dressed baby James in warm clothes an collected the things she would need for him over the next few days. She put the lead on the dog and went in search of Monty, the cat. It took her a long time, but eventually she found him safe and warm under the covers on her bed. She placed him in his cat basket into the kitchen where James and the dog, Rosie, were waiting.
Just as she was reaching for the car keys, Sara heard a sound like the noise bath water makes when you pull out the plug. She looked at the backdoor and saw water was flowing in underneath. Turning around, she saw dirty brown water fountaining out of the drain and filling the sink. Realizing that they were trapped by the flood and that it became impossible for er to drive out, quickly she put James into he backpack and pulled onto her back. Calling to Rosie she picked up the cat basket and ran to the front of the house and out into the front garden, where the ca was parked.
Paragraph 1
The water was already up to her knees, and Rosie was swimming beside her. ___

Paragraph 1
The water was already up to her knees, and Rosie was swimming beside her. Knowing the water would soon be much deeper, Sara gave up driving away. She threw the cat basket onto the roof of the car and pushed Rosie up beside it. She climbed first onto the front of the car and then onto the roof of the house with the dog and the cat. James, safely attached to her back, made no sound at all. Sara stared down at the water which was rushing past the car. It was already halfway up the doors, and still rising.
Paragraph 2
Sara, together with James, Rosie and Monty, was hungry and frightened on the roof of the house when a boat appeared in the distance. Sara was extremely happy and shouted at the boat, “Here! Here!” but the boat seemed not to head for their direction. Sara was worried and anxious, and then she shouted at the boat harder, “Help! Help! Here we are.” Luckily, the people on the boat replied to her. They were rescued and the warm-hearted people sent them to Sara’s mother’s place. Sara showed her sincere gratitude to the people who helped them when in need.
