From artificial intelligence to video based learning to wellness tech, the emerging edtech trends have a lot in store for teachers and students alike. Here are some top EdTech Trends for 2020.‎ AI AI will increasingly be used to personalize learning. For instance, Querium is using AI to deliver customizable STEM tutoring lessons to high school students. The software works by analyzing answers and length of time it took to complete the tutoring sessions, thereby giving teachers insights into areas of weakness for students. Kidaptive’s Adaptive Learning Platform in California uses AI algorithms to help schools collect data and boost student engagement. New challenges are introduced to students based on their strengths and weaknesses.‎ Video based learning ‎ Video-based learning is becoming increasingly popular with younger generations. Teachers can use not only Youtube but Teachertube and BrainPop to use or create instructional videos on various subjects, either to supplement or present new material. Video-based learning can be especially useful for background information or material that normally would take a lot of time to learn by reading a textbook. ‎ Collaborative (协作式) technology Collaborative edtech tools are supporting online learning through chatbots; platforms and apps that promote peer-to-peer engagement. Students can use chat tools they already know like Facebook, WhatsApp, or Skype, or they can use chatbots like Google Allo for a more personalized online learning experience, as a source of social learning, to save teachers time, and for online assessments.‎ Mixed reality Seattle-based Doghead Simulations has created a social virtual reality (虚拟现实) software called rumii that works with Oculus Go VR headsets to transport students to East China or Northern Africa to learn about the Pyramids or the Great Wall. A Penn State University study found that “students who used immersive virtual reality to accomplish a task did so more than ‎ twice as fast as students who used traditional computer programs.”‎ Edtech is developing rapidly. Fortunately for teachers and students, this means better education delivered more efficiently. ‎ ‎21. Which technology will enable students to learn background information most efficiently?‎ A. AI. B. Video based learning.‎ C. Collaborative technology. D. Mixed reality. ‎ ‎22. AI and Collaborative technology are similar in that _______. ‎ A. they promote cooperation among students ‎ B. they help students gain virtual experiences ‎ C. they will be especially challenging to students D. they can be used to personalize students’ learning ‎ ‎23. The main purpose of the passage is to _______. ‎ A. inform B. warn C. suggest D. advertise B Winter coming, homeless Soapy decided to go to the jail on the Island, where he would not be frozen or starved to death. He must set about accomplishing this right now. There were many ways, the pleasantest of which was to eat luxuriously at an expensive restaurant; and then, after declaring he was unable to pay, he would be handed over to a policeman. ‎ Up Broadway he turned, and stopped confidently at a glittering cafe. He was shaven, and his coat was decent. If he could reach a table unsuspected, success would be his. A roasted duck with a bottle of Chablis, and a cigar would leave him filled and happy for the journey to his winter jail. ‎ But as Soapy set foot inside the restaurant door the head waiter’s eye fell upon his ragged trousers and worn shoes. Strong hands turned him about and conveyed him in silence to the sidewalk.‎ He turned off Broadway. At a corner of Sixth Avenue, electric lights and smartly displayed wares behind plate-glass made a shop window attractive. Soapy took a stone and dashed it through the glass. People came running around the corner, a policeman in the lead. Soapy stood still, with his hands in his pockets, and smiled. ‎ ‎“Where’s the man that done that?” inquired the officer excitedly.‎ ‎“Don’t you figure out that I might have had something to do with it?” said Soapy proudly.‎ The policeman refused to accept Soapy as the guy. Men who smash windows take to their heels. The policeman saw a man half way down the block running to catch a car. With drawn club he joined in the pursuit. Soapy, with disgust in his heart, walked along, twice unsuccessful.‎ On the opposite side of the street was a cheap restaurant. Soapy managed to get a seat. He consumed beefsteak, flapjacks, doughnuts and pie, and after eating his fill, he called out, “Now, call a cop. Don’t keep a gentleman waiting.”‎ ‎“No cop for you,” said the waiter madly. Then two waiters gave Soapy a good beating.‎ Arrest seemed but a rosy dream. The Island seemed very far away. What should Soapy do now? ‎ ‎24. Why did Soapy at last decide to go to the jail on the Island? ‎ A. Because he could make at least a little money there. ‎ B. Because he could eat luxuriously at expensive restaurants. ‎ C. Because he would be taken good care of by the police there. ‎ D. Because he thought he had no other way to survive the winter. ‎ ‎25. The head waiter at the cafe turned Soapy away because _______. ‎ A. Soapy had ordered too much B. Soapy had not been nicely shaven C. Soapy’s dressing style gave him away D. Soapy was wearing a very ragged coat ‎26. Why didn’t Soapy run away after breaking the window? ‎ A. Because he expected to be arrested. ‎ B. Because it was another man that broke the window. ‎ C. Because he was confident he wouldn’t be found out.‎ D. Because he was always ready to fight with any policeman. ‎ ‎27. What can we learn about Soapy at the cheap restaurant? ‎ A. He was nearly beaten to death. B. He unexpected had a roay dream. ‎ C. He refused to pay although he could have. D. He again failed to get arrested by the police.‎ C Research has found that singing in a choir may improve mental and emotional well-being and social connections. In fact, it may also help people recover from several mental illnesses like depression and anxiety, according to a 2017 study. ‎ The University of East Anglia studied groups for six months who sang in weekly workshops and found that the mixture of singing and socializing improved people’s sense of belonging and well-being. “For some it represented a wider program of support,” said researcher professor Tom Shakespeare. “For others it stood out as the key to their recovery or maintenance of health.”‎ Group singing can have a positive influence on one’s physical health as well. Researchers in Sweden found that singing improved heart health; they noted that the heart rates of singers slowly became synchronized (同步), eventually beating as one.‎ Singing may also help you live longer. A 2013 study conducted at the University of California of San Francisco (UCSF) hoped to determine if singing can actually lead to a longer life. The researchers created 12 new choirs in senior centers across the bay area. Singing volunteers were all tested for things like balance and leg strength before the program began, and will be tested again at the end. The researchers found that singing seems to be good for balance.‎ Exercising the vocal chords (声带) can be good for the lungs. Up to 30 percent of older adults complain of having shortness of breath, and singing in a choir can help work the respiratory (呼吸) system and help improve breathing.‎ Famed English musician Brian Eno has weighed in on the topic already. Having started an acappella (无伴奏合唱) group with friends and finding immeasurable benefit, Eno wrote in an essay for NPR, “A recent long-term study conducted in Scandinavia sought to discover which activities related to a healthy and happy later life. Three stood out: camping, dancing and singing.”‎ He added, “I believe that singing is the key to long life, a good figure, a stable temperament, increased intelligence, new friends, super self-confidence, heightened sexual attractiveness and a better sense of humor.”‎ ‎28. The 2013 study conducted at UCSF actually found that _______. ‎ A. singing benefited the lungs B. singing helped improve balance ‎ C. singing helped people live longer D. singing made one’s legs stronger ‎29. Which of following would Brian Eno probably agree with? ‎ A. Singing has no disadvantages. ‎ B. Dancing is as good as camping. ‎ C. One can live longer by taking up singing. ‎ D. Singing can make you stay young and unchanged. ‎ ‎30. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to _______. ‎ A. a wider program of support B. the University of East Anglia C. the mixture of singing and socializing D. people’s sense of belonging and well-being ‎31. It can be safely concluded from the passage that _______. ‎ A. singing in a choir is better than singing alone B. musicians live longer than others on average ‎ C. singing can cure people of their mental illnesses ‎ D. singing in a choir benefits old people mentally and physically D We live in a heavily edited world. People in pictures are no longer people. They are perfect human beings whom we can only try, and fail, to live up to. And food in pictures is no longer food. It’s artwork, something to make you desire a lifestyle while reminding you that you’re not part of it.‎ But people are getting sick and tired of such perfection, leading to something Pamela Grossman, a director at Getty Images, calls “perfection fatigue (疲劳)”. This new attitude is now driving people to value something different: honesty. ‎ The pizza company Domino’s, for example, is taking on the trend by encouraging its customers to post un-edited pictures of their pizzas on social media, as part of the no filter (滤镜) movement that has become so popular on ‎ Instagram. This may mean oily boxes, dull-colored cheese and less-than-delicious-looking meat, but these images show what we’re actually paying for.‎ ‎“It’s exactly what it looks like when you really get a pizza,” Dennis Maloney, chief digital officer of Domino’s, told the website FastCoDesign. “It feels much more honest when the images are imperfect.”‎ Things are also changing with perfect human images. For example, US clothing retailer Gap launched a “Dress Normal” campaign in 2014, promoting simple clothes instead of smart outfits like those of runway models. Underwear companies are also starting to use regular-looking models on their posters instead of “Miss Size-Zeros”.‎ ‎“We spend so much time trying to hide our flaws because our culture has set it up that we have to be ashamed if we’re not perfect,” US filmmaker Cynthia Wade said. “I think people are tired of it. They’re suddenly much more willing to embrace the ugly or ironic (讽刺的).”‎ But while it’s probably true that we won’t see an end to “perfect” pictures any time soon, at least some people are starting to see that it can actually be appealing to be imperfect, or to use the name of one of American singer Grace VanderWaal’s albums, Perfectly Imperfect.‎ ‎32. What is the problem mentioned in the first paragraph?‎ A. Art works should be well edited. B. We appreciate pictures too much. ‎ C. We can never eat food in a picture. D. Pictures are too far from the reality.‎ ‎33. What would Dennis Maloney be in favor of?‎ A. Perfection. B. Honesty. C. Disorder. D. Ugliness. ‎ ‎34. The underlined word “flaws” in Paragraph 6 can be replaced by _______. ‎ A. shortcomings B. advantages C. personalities D. possessions ‎ ‎35. What is the best title for this passage?‎ A. No one or nothing can be perfect B. There is no need to edit the world C. Beauty behind editing is being discovered D. Dull-colored pictures are gaining popularity 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ How to get ready for your big interview Sweaty hands, stomach pains and confused looks are common in high school seniors who are going to study abroad when they have their first college interview. But, truth be told, most interviews go very well, and students walk away pleased with the way they have expressed who they are and what they’re looking for in a college.‎ ‎ 36 How do you prepare for the college interview? Here are some tips.‎ Make a good first impression. You can’t go wrong if you dress for a business meeting.‎ Do your homework.

To mark the day, Berners-Lee wrote online, “The internet & the web it enabled have changed 62 (billion) of lives for the better. But their power for good is under threat.” ‎ Speaking at the University of California, Los Angeles, Berners-Lee pointed out three problems 63 (affect) today’s web: criminal behavior, ad-based clickbait websites (钓鱼网站), 64 offensive online communication.

In the contract, he mentioned the need for companies to make sure that everyone has web access, and called for a 66 (reduce) in offensive materials, and more personal data privacy. The latter is a hot topic right now. Big companies, like Facebook, have misused 67 (user) personal information by sharing it with advertisers.‎ Despite all of these negatives, we shouldn’t forget about all the benefits the internet brings.

One reason is because the tuition is only 5,000 RMB a year, comparing with 8,000 RMB for the university in the south. This makes a big difference for a family like me, because of my father is a peasant. My studying in the northern university can save him a lot of money. Other reason is the preference policy offered by the northern university. Any student who chooses to study there may gain an extra 20 points, which great raises the possibility of admitted. Of course, it doesn’t mean that it will be quite easy to pass the entrance exam because this university has limited a number to only 10.

This makes a big difference for a family like , because of my father is a peasant. My studying in the northern university can save him a lot of money. reason is the preference policy offered by the northern university.

They hope I can go to a local university so that they can continue taking care of me. However, I don’t want to be restricted to economy which I don’t like, and I want to go to another city where I can find something new to explore.‎ I have my own thoughts and my parents stick to their own, so we have argued many times,‎ ‎ ending up with no result. I know how difficult it is for my parents to bring me up. So I must respect them, but I have to follow my dream. Can you help me to persuade them to respect my decision?‎ I’m looking forward to your early reply. ‎ Yours,‎ Li Hua 听力录音稿 Text 1 ‎ W: Waiter! I’d like to order now. Can I get a steak, a side of potatoes, a salad, and a Coke? (1) ‎ M: We are out of Coke right now. But we can get you a Pepsi instead.‎ Text 2 ‎ W: Are you comfortable?‎ M: Yes, thank you. You’ve helped me so much. I don’t think I can ever repay you! Is there anything at all that you’d like from me? (2)‎ W: No. I know you’d do the same for me.‎ Text 3 ‎ W: Are you done packing yet? Hurry up! You know we still have to clean after we pack.‎ M: I know, I know. But we still have to pack everything carefully so that nothing gets damaged. (3) ‎ Text 4 ‎ W: Do you hear that sound? ‎ M: Yes, it sounds like an owl.‎ W: Was that what I saw flying above us when we were outside last night? That very big white bird that flew without making any noise? ‎ M: Yes. I saw it, too. (4) ‎ Text 5 ‎ W: Excuse me, sir. Can you tell me how to get to Fort Mason? I’m just visiting and I lost my city map. (5) ‎ M: Oh…you can get a new map at the museum down the street. It’s a big, white building that looks very new. If you go past the museum and keep walking by the water, you’ll get to Fort Mason in about ten minutes.‎ Text 6‎ M: Did you see that?‎ W: What?‎ M: Look over there at that man on the bicycle.‎ W: Oh — why did you tell me to look? He doesn’t have any clothes on!‎ M: There’s another — and another one! There’s about twenty of them riding together.‎ W: Why are they riding bikes without clothes? (6) I thought being naked in public was against the law!‎ M: Not here… In San Francisco, it’s legal.‎ W: Let’s go walk somewhere else. It offends me. (7) ‎ M: I think it’s pretty funny. But the last thing I’d do without clothes on is ride a bike.‎ W: The last thing I’d do in this cold city is take off my clothes! ‎ Text 7 ‎ M: Good afternoon, ma’am. How can we help you at Loan Finder?‎ W: Hello. I’d like to take out a loan to buy a house. (8) ‎ M: All right. First, we’ll need to see your bank statement and credit report. We’ll also need a list of all the property you own — houses, land, cars, even shared vacation homes.‎ W: OK, well, I don’t own any of those.‎ M: Fine. We also need a copy of your tax returns for the last five years. (9)‎ W: Really? I don’t know if I even kept copies that long.‎ M: You can ask the government to send you copies. Some more documents we need are your driver’s license or other form of ID, marriage certificate, and passport.

(11) When we were walking up to her apartment on Monday, I tripped on the stairs. I couldn’t catch myself, and I landed right on my nose!‎ M: Ouch! Did you break it?‎ W: No, but it hurt a little. I felt so embarrassed, because it happened in front of her friends. If I had only been with Laura, I wouldn’t have minded. But that’s not all that happened during my trip.‎ M: Let me guess — you fell down the stairs, too?‎ W: Close. We were walking by the river early Wednesday morning. I looked up at some birds in the sky and fell down! (12) Once again, I fell right on my nose! ‎ M: Wow! What bad luck!‎ W: You won’t believe it, but it happened a third time!‎ M: You’re kidding! ‎ W: I’m not. This time, we were walking quickly to catch the train on Friday. I was wearing a long skirt and must have tripped on it. I fell flat on my face again. Despite all the falls, my nose feels fine right now.

You can see the whole city from this spot. (14)‎ W: It looks so beautiful! I didn’t know London could be this pretty. Look at all the lights! (15) ‎ M: Yeah, I know. (15) I used to come here when I was a little child. ‎ W: This place must be very special to you, then. ‎ M: Yes, it is. I used to come here with my family at night to watch the shooting stars.‎ W: Did you see a lot of shooting stars?‎ M: Sometimes there were, sometimes there weren’t. But I liked coming here even if we didn’t see any.‎ W: Did you ever see any wild animals? I heard there are wolves around here. (14) I think it might be scary to see a wolf at night. Did you ever see one?‎ M: I’ve never seen a wolf, because there aren’t any wolves in England anymore. Sometimes deer cross the road in the evening. I’ve seen many different kinds of birds flying before sunset. Once, I thought I saw a bear. I was a little afraid, especially when it stood up on its back legs. It started coming toward me in the dark. ‎ W: Did you run?‎ M: No. It started talking to me, actually. I was surprised, but then I saw it was just my dad. (16) He’d been looking for something he dropped on the ground. ‎ Text 10‎ Mr. Smithson has been taking pictures of his neighbors, and now they’re angry. He’s a photographer who lives on the second floor of an apartment building in New York City. (17) For his project called “The Neighbors”, he secretly took pictures of the residents of a luxury apartment building across the street. (18) Those photographs are now being sold for thousands of dollars at an art gallery. But it turns out the neighbors aren’t very happy with having their pictures secretly taken and sold. Even though Mr. Smithson didn’t show their faces, many of them feel embarrassed that the images show private moments that include taking naps and children resting with teddy bears. (19) In a statement about the project, the 60-year-old Smithson says his work is similar to bird-watching. He says his project is not about privacy. In the photographer’s opinion, the people in the apartment building create a stage when they open their curtains. He says he carefully takes pictures from the shadows of his home into theirs. He feels he’s like a bird-watcher, quietly waiting for hours to catch the best view. According to experts contacted by our news reporters, there is likely no legal case against Mr. Smithson because the faces in his pictures can’t be seen. (20)‎
