Hello, everyone, because of the novel coronavirus(新型冠状病毒), we have now been told by the government to close the school to almost all students after this Friday until further notice. Schools will not be expected to keep a pattern of normal learning during this period. But we will do all that we can to stay open for the children of workers in public services, such as doctors, nurses and police. We are waiting for the government to publish more information about what we will be allowed to do. It would help us in the meantime if you could let us know if your child may need to come to school. Please email us with your child’s name and tell us why you think your child should come to school. The school bus will still be running for the students who are allowed to attend.

【题目】 Last week Amazon announced Word Runner, a new tool for reading Kindle books. Word Runner is a software update that shows one word at a time, instead of words, sentences and paragraphs on one page.

Amazon says Word Runner was developed to make reading faster. By seeing one word at a time on the screen, you will not lose your place on the page. It may help you to focus on what you are reading.

Opinions about Word Runner are mixed. Carmen Blyth, Ph. D. and a teacher of English as a Second Language (ESL), says Word Runner is not optimal reading.

In the Kindle Forums at Amazon, a commenter called CB Retriever says, “Thanksbut that absolutely will not work for me as I too do lines and blocks of text at a time __ I think the last time I read word by word was back when I was learning to read. ”

Len Edgerly, business journalist and host of The Kindle Chronicles podcast, had a chance to try out Word Runner. In his podcast, Edgerly said that Word Runner is “a dramatically different way to read”.

Brake

You can pause Word Runner by tapping the pause button, called Brake. Brake lets you move words forward and backward. You can go back and re-read words using Brake.

Availability

According to Amazon, Word Runner will be available soon for some English-language books on the Kindle app for Android devices and on Fire tablets.

Word Runner will work with select English-language Kindle books from Amazon sites in all countries, says an Amazon representative. Amazon has not yet said whether Word Runner will be coming to the Kindle app for iPhone and iPad.

Dynamic Pacing

Word Runner uses a feature called “Dynamic Pacing” to adjust the speed around complicated words. Dynamic Pacing automatically slows the speed of Word Runner for complicated words, punctuation, and paragraph breaks. It makes changes based on the natural rhythm of your reading.

1In CB Retriever’s opinion, _____________.

B.good readers can read four words at a time

C.Word Runner is not so practical for him as he reads lines and blocks of text at a time

D.Word Runner is “a dramatically different way to read”

2From the passage, we can draw the conclusion that ___________.

A.Word Runner will soon be available for iPhone and iPad

B.Word Runner will work with all English language books in all countries

C.Word Runner is a software which updates one word at a time

D.people will soon be able to use Word Runner to read some English-language books on Android devices and Fire tablets

【题目】阅读下面材料,然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

James Bender, in his book How to Talk Well tells the story of a farmer who grew awardwinning corn.Each year he won a blue ribbon.One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something interesting about how he grew it.

The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbors.“How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbors when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year?” The reporter asked.“Why,” said the farmer, “didn't you know? The wind picks up pollen(花粉) from the ripening corn and carries it from field to field.If my neighbors grow bad corn, crosspollination(异花受粉) will slowly reduce the quality of my corn.If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors grow good corn.”

He is very much aware of the connectedness of life.His corn cannot improve unless his neighbors' corn also improves.The lesson for each of us is this: If we are to grow good corn, we must help our neighbors grow good corn.

【题目】 Artificial intelligence, or AI, has slowly begun to influence higher education around the world. Now, one new AI tool could change the way university students evaluate their professor. The tool is called Hubert, a teacher evaluation tool that appears as an AI-powered chatbot. Instead of filling out a form, students use a chat window to give feedback (反馈) on the course and their professor. Afterwards, Hubert categorizes the students’ comments for the professor to review.

Hubert is free for educators to use. More than 600 teachers have used it already. The goal of the new Hubert program is to improve education by giving teachers detailed, organized feedback from students.

Viktor Nordmark, from Sweden, started the company in 2015, with several friends. Before creating Hubert, the founders asked teachers what would improve their teaching skills. The answer, Nordmark said, was qualitative (定性的) feedback from their students. In other words, teachers wanted students to write detailed answers to open-ended questions about their experiences in class.

Qualitative feedback is different from the survey responses, which students are often asked to provide at the end of a class. “This kind of data takes a lot of time for professors to collect and analyze,” Nordmark said. And for the students, it can also be “really boring to fill out.” So Nordmark and his friends designed Hubert as a compromise between a traditional survey and a personal interview. “You can reach a really large crowd, but you can also get really qualitative data back,” Nordmark said.

Now, when Hubert receives comments from students, it compares them with the information already in its system to organize the data. Nordmark says that Hubert will continue to get smarter as it receives more comments in the future. Nordmark says he and his co-founders have plans to make Hubert more flexible and accurate. They hope to give teachers the possibility of selecting their own evaluation questions.

1What can be learned about Hubert from the passage?

A.It enables professors to evaluate their students by giving feedback.

B.It helps its inventor make money from professors pay fees.

C.It is to help teachers improve their teaching skills more effectively.

D.It collects data from students who fill out forms after class.

2According to Viktor Nordmark, Hubert .

A.still needs improvingB.is already perfect

C.is really boring to useD.offers survey responses

3What is the text mainly about?

A.The characteristics of qualitative feedback.

B.A new AI-powered tool of teacher evaluation.

C.The changes in the way teachers are evaluated.

D.A potential revolution in the educational system.
