26、 The software,4 Little Trees, was created by Find Solution AI. Founder Viola Lam says it can make the virtual classroom as good as-or better than-the real one.
Students work on tests and homework on the platform. While they study, the AI measures muscle points on their faces through the camera on their computer, and identifies emotions including happiness, sadness, anger, surprise and fear.
The system also monitors how long students take to answer questions; records their marks and performance history; makes reports on their strengths and weaknesses; and predicts their grades. The program can adapt to each student, targeting knowledge gaps and offering game-style tests designed to make learning fun. Students perform 10% better in exams if they have learned using 4 Little Trees, says Lam.
But technology that monitors children's faces raises concerns about privacy.
Lam says 4 Little Trees records facial muscle data, which is how the AI interprets(诠释） emotional expressions, but it does not video students' faces.
Pascale Fung, director of the Center for AI Research at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology says developers must get permission from parents to collect students' data and then “explain where the data is going to go.”
As the AI improves, Lam hopes to develop applications for businesses, as well as schools, to better understand users' needs and increase engagement (参与） in online meetings. “Where human communication is concerned, AI can help to lead to a better interaction.” she says.
【1】What could be learned about 4 Little Trees?
A．It improves students' grades.
B．It makes the classroom unreal.
C．Fun learning is its only advantage.
D．Learning process is simple with it.
【2】What's the parents' main concern about using the 4 Little Trees?
A．Their kids' addiction to the App.
B．Too much money it may cost.
C．What the kids' data will be used for.
D．Whether it's helpful to their kids.
【3】What is Lam likely to do next?
A．To stop developing applications.
B．To hold online meetings.
C．To apply the software to businesses.
D．To improve AI technology.
【4】What's the purpose of the text?
A．To advertise a software.
B．To introduce a software.
C．To voice different opinions.
D．To call for parents' attention.

29、From childhood to adulthood, you go through a lot of changes — jobs, regrettable haircuts and relationships that come and go. But what about who you are? As you grow older, does your personality change?
Personality is the pattern(模式) of thoughts, feelings and behaviors unique to a person. People always think of personality as fixed(固定的). But according to psychologists, that’s not how it works. “Personality is developing. It’s not just something that you’re stuck with and can’t get over,” said Brent Roberts, a psychologist at the University of Illinois.
That’s not to say that you’re a different person each day you wake up. In the short term, change can be nearly impossible to see, Roberts told Live Science. Longitudinal studies, in which researchers survey(调查) the personalities of participants(参与者) regularly over many years, suggest that our personality is actually stable in the short term.
But those years add up, throughout which our personality is still changing, but slowly, Roberts said. “It’s something that’s unnoticeable,” he added. You don’t feel it on that five-to-10-year time period, but in the long term, it becomes obvious. In 1960, psychologists surveyed over 440,000 high school students — around 5% of all students in the country at that time. The students answered questions about everything from how they behaved in emotional(情绪的) situations to how well and effectively they got work done. Fifty years later, researchers tracked down(追踪到) 1,952 of these former students and gave them the same survey. The results found that in their 60s, participants scored much higher than they had as teenagers.
Some people might change less than others, but in general, the maturity principle(成熟原则) goes for everyone. That makes personality change even harder to realize in ourselves — how your personality compares with that of your peers doesn’t change as much as our overall change in personality, because everyone else is changing right along with you. “It has been proved that the self-control of a 30-year-old is higher than a 20-year-old,” Donnellan said. “At the same time, people who are more self-controlled at 18 are also possibly more self-controlled at age 30.”
【1】What does the writer think of personality?
A．It is what makes you different from others.
B．It is fixed since you were born.
C．It works when we meet difficulties.
D．It changes obviously from day to day.
【2】What does the underlined word “stable” in paragraph 3 mean?
A．not easily upset.
B．easy to change.
C．not likely to change.
D．difficult to destroy.
【3】How does the writer support his idea?
A．By giving examples.
B．By stating arguments.
C．By explaining causes.
D．By providing research results.
【4】Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Everyone Has a Unique Personality.
B．Our Personality Changes as We Get Older.
C．Self-control Makes All the Difference.
D．We Grow Older but Change Less.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Among the note-taking forms in today’s US schools, the Cornell method is widely recommended. Providing a form for concentrating and organizing notes, the Cornell method sets up a system to direct students to 【1】 the paper into two columns. The note-taking column, which is usually on the right, is twice the size of the key word column on the left. The student should leave five to seven lines blank, at the bottom of the page.
Notes from a lecture or teaching occupy the note-taking column which 【2】 contain the main ideas of the textbook or lecture. Most 【3】 ideas and long sentences are avoided while 【4】 or abbreviations （缩写） are preferred instead. To assist with future reviews, 【5】 thoughts or questions should be noted down as soon as possible so that the students may 【6】 to these points for reflection or further research. The key-word column is a(n) 【7】 place to note down these ideas. These ideas may later turn into potential research results as students are always encouraged to reflect on the notes 【8】 or go deep into the questions further.
Within 24 hours after the note-taking, the student must revise and then produce a short summary in the bottom space. Such move helps him to 【9】 the topic better. When preparing for a test, the student has 【10】 to a brief but detailed record of the previous classes.
