Ⅳ.阅读理解

At 1,345 meters above sea level,Ben Nevis is not the world’s most difficult mountain to climb.But things get considerably tricky if instead of hiking shoes you put on a pair of 5-inch high heels,especially if you’re a guy.One English teenager recently proved that it was not impossible.

Ben Conway,a 19-year-old art student from London,recently took up the challenge as a way to stand out in an application for a scholarship for the School of Communication Arts in Brixton.He started his unusual high-heel climb at 8 am,on June 27,and was joined by Callum MacKenzie Allen,a friend from his art foundation year,who videotaped the whole thing for a two-minute video that was used as his application project.The whole climb took five hours and wasn’t the smoothest experience.

Halfway up Ben Nevis,one of his shoes broke,so he had to tape the shoes to his feet to make sure they stayed on.The weather didn’t make it easy for him either,as he claimed that it rained pretty much the whole time,and he had to go against 40 to 50 miles an hour winds.Due to these difficult conditions,Ben and his friend had to turn back after reaching 900 meters up the mountain.

Besides providing a unique art school application project,the high-heel climb also allowed the 19-year-old to raise some money for worthy causes (事业),like Sal’s Shoes,which provides footwear for barefoot children around the world.

“Raising money for charity brings happiness to people’s lives and if I can do something ridiculous and bring someone happiness,then that’s what it’s all about,” Ben said.

【语篇解读】本文讲述的是Ben Conway为了申请奖学金和为全世界的赤脚孩子提供鞋子筹集资金,作为一名男生穿着5英寸的高跟鞋攀爬1 345米高的山峰,期间遇到了很多困难,遗憾的是最终在900米处停止,但他的故事令人鼓舞。

D.The unexpected things.

Ⅵ.概要写作

阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Your Robot Teacher of the Future

Will your job be done by a robot in the future?Bank of England economists predict that almost half of all UK jobs are under threat of automation.Those most at risk involve repetitive manual labour,such as factory positions.But could even the venerable profession of teaching soon have to compete against powerful electronic educators?

At first glance,teaching might seem to be unaffected to replacement by robots.Teachers use a range of soft skills that machines find hard to replicate.They judge pupils’ needs and adapt feedback accordingly.They adapt materials to make them more attractive and effective.And they provide pastoral care:looking out for students who lag behind or disrupt the class.

Nonetheless,some believe the future of education will be technological.In an interview with Business Insider magazine,futurist Thomas Frey predicts that “by 2030 the largest company on the Internet is going to be an education-based company that we haven’t heard of yet.”

He thinks that “bots”—online robot teachers—will make education so efficient that students will be able to compress an entire undergraduate degree into six months of learning.A bot learns what your “interests” and “reference points” are,and it “figures out” how to teach you in a faster and faster way over time,according to Frey.

Whether or not such incredible speeds will be reached,over the last decade there has been a huge increase in online learning platforms.Companies such as Udemy and Khan Academy produce courses that allow millions to learn at home for free at their own pace.But there are limitations.Without the face-to-face stimulation of a classroom environment,the overwhelming majority of students fail to complete online courses.How to sustain motivation to learn is one more skill that online teachers will need to master.

Indeed,Frey admits there is some way to go:“Nobody has quite cracked the code for the future of education.”What do teachers themselves think about this?Professor Donald Clark from Derby University in the UK thinks that we should welcome change,even though people will lose their jobs.

“Artificial intelligence will destroy jobs—so why not use it for a social good such as learning?”he asked.

参考范文

The article introduces the possibility of a robot teacher in the future.(要点1)Since robots may replace humans in factories,it is possible that teaching will be done by robots.(要点2)Teachers use soft skills such as feedback and personal care at classrooms.However,online robot teachers will know a learner’s weakness and strengths,so they provide efficient teaching.(要点3)Companies like Udemy and Khan Academy provide free courses online but students lack motivation to finish their lessons.Anyway,AI is welcomed to do good to learning.(要点4)
