必修第一册 Unit 1 Back to school(1)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
As students return to school this fall ， many of them—perhaps especially those from
historically disadvantaged student groups—will be starting the academic year with achievement
levels lower than where they were at the beginning of summer break.This phenomenon is
sometimes referred to as summer learning loss.We review what is known about summer loss and
offer suggestions for schools looking to solve the problem.
The recent studies on summer loss have been rather comprehensive.One study found that
students，on average，lost between 25－30 percent of their school-year learning over the summer.
However，an analysis of the national study found little evidence of overall loss over the
summers after grades K and 1，and the summer loss gaps widened in some subjects and grades but
not others.Von Hippel and Hamrock re-analyzed two earlier data sets and concluded that gaps “do
not necessarily...grow fastest over the summer”．Thus，it seems summer loss occurs，though
not universally across geography，grade level，or subject.
Schools want to address the issue of summer learning loss not only because it may widen
achievement gaps，but also because it“wastes”so much of the knowledge students have gained
during the school year.Summer loss also undoubtedly increases the amount of time teachers have to
spend “re-teaching” last year’s content.
Traditionally ， educators and policymakers have relied on conventional summer school
programs to solve summer learning loss.Not surprisingly，research suggests that programs are
more effective when students attend consistently and spend more time on task
academically.Regardless of the design，these policies should offer engaging options for students
over the summer so that summer learning programs do not feel like punishment for students who
would rather be enjoying summer vacation.Doing so would set more students up for success as the
school year gets underway.
1．What was the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 1?
A．To propose a definition. B．To make a comparison.
C．To present an issue. D．To make an argument.
2．According to the studies，what do we know about summer learning loss?
A．Summer learning loss seemed to vary in grades and subjects.
B．Immigrant students experienced the most summer loss.
C．Senior students did not lose learning over the summer.
D．Summer learning loss after grades K and 1 was alarming.3．According to the fourth paragraph，why do schools want to solve the problem of summer
learning loss?
A．Because it may narrow achievement gaps.
B．Because it may stop students gaining more knowledge.
C．Because it may increase teachers’ new teaching content.
D．Because it may cause repetitive work for teachers.
4．What does the author think of summer school programs?
A．The conventional programs are ineffective.
B．More choices should be provided for students.
C．Students should do more academic tasks.
D．The programs are punishment for students.
B
Video has become an increasingly popular educational tool.As a storytelling medium，video
is in many ways superior to text or lecture-based instruction，but it is not without disadvantages.It
can be difficult to search or find already seen content for review.And note-taking is especially
laborious(费力的)．
Hari Subramonyam，a research professor in the Stanford Graduate School of Education，and
two workmates，have used computer vision and natural language processing tools to develop
VideoSticker，a note-taking application specifically for video-based learning.
VideoSticker combines video，transcripts(文本)，and a powerful visual and textual note-
taking application.Better yet using AI，VideoSticker can automatically identify and trim(修剪)
objects out of the video and place them in the note-taking area.VideoSticker then deals with the
transcripts using tools like those behind popular voice recognition and chatbots to pull key text into
the note-taking area，combining it with the relevant imagery.
It all adds up to a big head start on manual(手工的) note-taking and allows students to focus
on the important content to improve comprehension and recall.
To evaluate the effectiveness of the VideoSticker approach，the researchers conducted a test
with 10 undergraduate students.Each completed a 75-to-90-minute note-taking session.They then
reported their experiences.All participants noted VideoSticker’s flexibility in note-
taking.“Trimming the objects and controlling them in the video viewing panel is cool，” notes
one participant.
“Overall，I think VideoSticker is a great example of AI making a good combination with the
learning context to balance manual note-taking with the experience of learning that is so important
to real comprehension，”Subramonyam says.“As video becomes more commonplace in the
classroom，as it is sure to in coming years，a tool like this will be very much needed.Going
forward，my team plans to partner with educators to evaluate VideoSticker in real-world learning
contexts and make the tool commercially available.”5．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．What VideoSticker is about. B．Where VideoSticker can be applied.
C．Why VideoSticker was developed. D．How VideoSticker works.
6．What was the participants’ attitude to VideoSticker?
A．Unclear. B．Doubtful. C．Disapproving. D．Favorable.
7．What will Subramonyam’s team do next?
A．Create more learning tools.
B．Put VideoSticker on the market.
C．Improve real-world learning contexts.
D．Allow AI to change manual note-taking.
8．Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A．Video-based Learning Gains Popularity Due to VideoSticker
B．Note-taking Applications Begin to Attract More AI Developers
C．VideoSticker Helps Students Take Notes from Video Lessons
D．Educators Consider VideoSticker as an Essential Teaching Tool
