The Advisor offers on-demand comments to students practicing public speaking from anywhere.This flexibility benefits instructors，who can be as hands-on or hands-off during practice.While students can operate autonomously with the tool，instructors can also choose to keep track of students"progress. Criteria Using machine learning models，the Pops Advisor analyzes the following criteria： Delivery Introduction Body Conclusion Vocal Style Vocal Quality Vocal Filler Eye Contact Body Language Credibility Attention Central Idea Preview Connective Support Language Connective Credibility Organization Signaling Ending Summary Memorable Ending Credibility Feedback The presenter receives feedback on the above four categories.And this feedback is given in the following formats： Recommendations To provide presenters with valuable feedback for the next practice，recommendations focus on specific aspects needing improvement.For instance，the recommendation can be"Your message is clear，but be sure you are grabbing your audience's attention in your introduction to ensure they are listening. Speech Metrics（指标） Useful speech metrics serve as quantitative descriptors on several aspects of the presentation including number of words，total presentation time，speaking rate and vocal fillers percentage. Pops Advisor can be used in any classroom setting where students are presenting，particularly in the Basic Public Speaking Course.When you are considering what can be achieved by your students toward skill development in a single school semester，Advisor increases the overall development. 21.What is the Pops Advisor？ ______ A.

B With the rapid development，the city of Chongqing is becoming more and more attractive to outsiders，including foreigners.For 26-year-old Moldovan Gabriela Cojocaru，who has the Chinese nickname Li Xiaoxiao，Chongqing is the beginning of a dream. In September 2014，Xiaoxiao，who has studied ethnic dance and ballet since childhood，graduated from the Moldovan National Dance Academy，and several classmates joined her on a trip to China.However，she did not know any Chinese or even English.She made many friends from China，which gradually solved her obstacles in language communication and made herself better adapted to life in China. "I think as a foreigner，first you have to learn Chinese，" she said. "Then you can go to better understand the culture and the Chinese people." But after learning what she thought was Chinese，she discovered that the language she had spent two years learning is actually the Chongqing dialect.Such is her delivery that even a Chongqing local would be hard to tell that she is a foreigner by just hearing her voice.As Xiaoxiao thought Chongqing dialect was standard Chinese，she took considerable efforts to be good at it.This "mistake" has turned out to be a lucky strike. But she is more interested in doing something that helps the two countries understand each other.As such，she introduced Chinese food or Chongqing food，and stories about China to her friends in Moldova.She plans to introduce the history and specialties of Moldova，such as Moldovan wine，to the Chinese.She hopes to let more people know that this country actually has a rich history of more than 5，000 years of wine-making. "I'd love to do it，" she said. "I will continue to strengthen the culture of the two countries and hope that the two countries will become better and better." 24.Why does Xiaoxiao make Chinese friends？ ______ A. To study more about ethnic dance. B. To appreciate more about new cultures. C. To learn more local dialects. D. To communicate with others more easily. 25.What does the underlined word "delivery" mean in paragraph 3？ ______ A. Dialect. B. Ballet. C. Dream. D. Mistake. 26.Which of the following best describes Xiaoxiao according to the text？ ______ A. Cautious and smart. B. Humorous and creative. C. Friendly and optimistic. D. Hardworking and responsible. 27.Where can the text be found？ ______ A. In a biography. B. In a culture magazine. C. In a history book. D. In a novel. C Fog，often a symbol of confusion，uncertainty and danger，holds unique appeal for Laura Pashby.In her book Chasing Fog，Pashby travels across British and Venice to explore the properties and characteristics of fog as well as its related legends. Fog is a type of weather condition that doesn't last long.Pashby notes it makes the familiar world seem odd and unsettling，which explains why numerous tales of magic are associated with fog.Each chapter of the book describes her fog-hunting trip，as well as discussions of local history，geography，art，literature and sense of place with her black-and- white photos. Pashby's personal stories run through the book，from her childhood memories of playing in Dartmoor's sudden fog to current life in fog-prone （容易起雾的） Cotswolds.On her journeys，she also explores her "fog self"，a concept described by poet Alice Oswald，reflecting her absorption in fog.Fog enables Pashby to see things differently and welcome the unknown.She sees it as a "visual representation of dreams".The book combines science with engaging contents on history，nature and personal experiences.We learn new names of fog and much about the relationship between fog and art.Pashby discusses how fog influenced the Impressionists like Monet，and how writers from Dickens to Wilde used fog as characters.She believes creative thoughts are brought about by fog's transformative power. I wish for more about fog in urban settings.Edinburgh and London were overshadowed by the northeast coast's sea fog and Thames' mists.Pashby describes the London smog in 1952，but doesn't mention the influences on human bodies of 21st-century air pollution worsened by cold winter fog，which，besides affecting visibility，is linked to an increase in some diseases，especially among those with underlying conditions. In the final chapter，Pashby and her father visit Venice for its special fog，which feels out of place.This journey could suit a second book on sea fogs in places like San Francisco and Namibia's coast or the great urban smog of India.Based on the completion of Chasing Fog，what an adventure such a book would be! 28.What is the main theme of Chasing Fog？ ______ A. Pashby's deep fondness for fog. B. Pashby's journey and search for fog. C. Fog's role in tales and legends. D. Fog's features in various settings. 29.Why does fog appeal to Pashby？ ______ A. It reveals local history and inspires art. B. It fuels creativity and offers new views. C. It reminds her of childhood adventures. D. It provides inviting contents for writing. 30.What does the author hope to see in the book？ ______ A. Impacts of winter fog on health. B. Details of fog in rural areas. C. Associations between fog and air quality. D. Causes of the London smog. 31.What does the author think of the final chapter？ ______ A. It is too hard to comprehend. B. It matches the theme badly. C. It is nothing but an adventure story. D. It reflects reality of the cities. 三、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。 It's a joyful and stressful time of year in the United States for students and their families as they make decisions about where to attend college.Families often turn to rankings systems to help make a decision.（32） ______ When I talk to families as a scholar of higher education，they're often surprised that teaching excellence is not counted in rankings.（33） ______ Emerging research suggests that courses in lower-ranked universities，on average，scored higher on teaching than courses in higher-ranked universities.（34） ______ The absence of teaching excellence from the rankings is surprising given the link between high-quality teaching and student success.Quality teaching is one of the most important predictors of a wide range of college outcomes. Rankings，however，are only one reason why a low value is placed on teaching in higher education.Administrators often don't view teaching excellence as a way to increase enrolment（注册）or funding.（35） ______ Research shows that the more time instructors spend on teaching，the lower their salary.What is the result？Many instructors continue to teach using traditional lectures，which lead to lower success rates. （ 36） ______ Nevertheless，not much will change until schools with high-quality teaching are rewarded with more resources，higher rankings and increased enrolments.In the long term，universities，organisations that rank schools，and others should work to make teaching a valued，core part of the mission. What should students and their families do？They should give strong consideration to universities where high-quality teaching is valued，even though the schools may be ranked lower. A.Higher education has achieved its true potential. B.Therefore，it's not highly valued in hiring or promotion. C.Quality teaching has been an important reputation-building factor. D.However，the rankings ignore a critical factor：the quality of teaching. E.Efforts to improve teaching at the university level have recently emerged. F.They're even more surprised at how teaching is undervalued by universities. G.In fact，universities often shift emphasis from teaching to other ranking factors. 四、完形填空：本大题共15小题，共15分。 Australian couple Greg Denaro and Dany bought a bulldog for their peaceful lifestyle.They called him Giotto.But what they got was something never quiet—an endlessly (37) dog who taught himself to skateboard.It's a (38) his owners never expected.
