作业(二) 语篇提能训练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
How can people speak their mind without saying anything? This is a question that scientists have aimed to answer for a long time.Researchers recently brought an upgraded device that can translate users' brain waves into daily speech.
Previously, the team led by Edward Chang at the University of California, San Francisco, developed an AI-based system that can identify up to 50 commonly used words based on the participant's brain waves.The participant was a paralyzed (瘫痪的) man who had been implanted with 16 electrodes (电极) under his skull.
According to their paper published in November, the team upgraded the system which can now translate thoughts into complete sentences on a computer screen.
Their tests showed that the device could decode silently spoken letters from a 1,152-word vocabulary at a speed of about 29 characters per minute.The accuracy was up to 94 percent.“It shows strong promise for restoring communication by tapping into the brain's natural speech machinery,” Chang said to the university's news website.
However, this method can still be problematic since users still need to undergo surgery.Scientists at the University of Texas, US, have tried to translate people's thoughts without even touching their heads, reported Live Science.
The new technique is called fMRI, or functional magnetic resonance imaging (功能性磁共振成像).It's a safer way of “reading” brain activity.Active brain cells have more oxygen.By tracking these cells, scientists can translate brain activity.
The team asked participants to listen to 16 hours of radio shows while scanning their brains.Then they used a computer algorithm (算法) to create a story based on the fMRI recording.It matched the radio shows pretty well.
Also, the algorithm could basically explain the story of a silent movie that the participants watched.The team aims to develop this technology so that it can be used in brain-computer interfaces (脑机接口) designed for people who cannot speak or type.

Develop a class wiki or blog.In order to help get your students active in class lessons, you can use a blog or wiki to make them comment on lessons, topics and current events.Students should also be allowed to create new posts about news or their thoughts.__8__
Create a podcast (播客) for your class.Technology is always about being seen.__9__ It can also be used to be heard.With a classroom podcast, you can read passages from a textbook or a novel or schedule discussions on a certain topic that's in line with your curriculum.This will teach broadcasting skills, speaking skills and critical thinking skills.
A.This is a great way to improve creative writing.
B.You can also upload videos to a private channel.
C.However, it's wrong to think it's only about being seen.
D.This will show them how to solve complex math problems.
