What are the biggest educational technology trends we’ll see heading into the next decade? From artificial intelligence to video based learning to wellness tech, the emerging edtech trends have a lot in store for teachers and students alike. Here are some top EdTech Trends for 2020.
AI
AI will increasingly be used to personalize learning. For instance, Querium is using AI to deliver customizable STEM tutoring lessons to high school students. The software works by analyzing answers and length of time it took to complete the tutoring sessions, thereby giving teachers insights into areas of weakness for students. Kidaptive’s Adaptive Learning Platform in California uses AI algorithms to help schools collect data and boost student engagement. New challenges are introduced to students based on their strengths and weaknesses.
Video based learning
Video-based learning is becoming increasingly popular with younger generations. Teachers can use not only Youtube but Teachertube and BrainPop to use or create instructional videos on various subjects, either to supplement or present new material. Video-based learning can be especially useful for background information or material that normally would take a lot of time to learn by reading a textbook.
Collaborative (协作式) technology
Collaborative edtech tools are supporting online learning through chatbots; platforms and apps that promote peer-to-peer engagement. Students can use chat tools they already know like Facebook, WhatsApp, or Skype, or they can use chatbots like Google Allo for a more personalized online learning experience, as a source of social learning, to save teachers time, and for online assessments.
Mixed reality
Seattle-based Doghead Simulations has created a social virtual reality (虚拟现实) software called rumii that works with Oculus Go VR headsets to transport students to East China or Northern Africa to learn about the Pyramids or the Great Wall. A Penn State University study found that “students who used immersive virtual reality to accomplish a task did so more than twice as fast as students who used traditional computer programs.”
Edtech is developing rapidly. Fortunately for teachers and students, this means better education delivered more efficiently.
21. Which technology will enable students to learn background information most efficiently? A. AI. B. Video based learning.
C. Collaborative technology. D. Mixed reality. 22. AI and Collaborative technology are similar in that _______.
A. they promote cooperation among students B. they help students gain virtual experiences C. they will be especially challenging to students D. they can be used to personalize students’ learning
23. The main purpose of the passage is to _______.
B
Winter coming, homeless Soapy decided to go to the jail on the Island, where he would not be frozen or starved to death. He must set about accomplishing this right now. There were many ways, the pleasantest of which was to eat luxuriously at an expensive restaurant; and then, after declaring he was unable to pay, he would be handed over to a policeman.
Up Broadway he turned, and stopped confidently at a glittering cafe. He was shaven, and his coat was decent. If he could reach a table unsuspected, success would be his. A roasted duck with a bottle of Chablis, and a cigar would leave him filled and happy for the journey to his winter jail.
But as Soapy set foot inside the restaurant door the head waiter’s eye fell upon his ragged trousers and worn shoes. Strong hands turned him about and conveyed him in silence to the sidewalk.
He turned off Broadway. At a corner of Sixth Avenue, electric lights and smartly displayed wares behind plate-glass made a shop window attractive. Soapy took a stone and dashed it through the glass. People came running around the corner, a policeman in the lead. Soapy stood still, with his hands in his pockets, and smiled.
“Where’s the man that done that?” inquired the officer excitedly.
“Don’t you figure out that I might have had something to do with it?” said Soapy proudly. The policeman refused to accept Soapy as the guy. Men who smash windows take to their heels. The policeman saw a man half way down the block running to catch a car. With drawn club he joined in the pursuit. Soapy, with disgust in his heart, walked along, twice unsuccessful.
On the opposite side of the street was a cheap restaurant. Soapy managed to get a seat. He consumed beefsteak, flapjacks, doughnuts and pie, and after eating his fill, he called out, “Now, call a cop. Don’t keep a gentleman waiting.”
“No cop for you,” said the waiter madly. Then two waiters gave Soapy a good beating. Arrest seemed but a rosy dream. The Island seemed very far away. What should Soapy do now?
24. Why did Soapy at last decide to go to the jail on the Island? A. Because he could make at least a little money there. B. Because he could eat luxuriously at expensive restaurants. C. Because he would be taken good care of by the police there. D. Because he thought he had no other way to survive the winter.
25. The head waiter at the cafe turned Soapy away because _______.
A. Soapy had ordered too much B. Soapy had not been nicely shaven C. Soapy’s dressing style gave him away D. Soapy was wearing a very ragged coat 26. Why didn’t Soapy run away after breaking the window?
A. Because he expected to be arrested.
B. Because it was another man that broke the window. C. Because he was confident he wouldn’t be found out. D. Because he was always ready to fight with any policeman. 27. What can we learn about Soapy at the cheap restaurant?
A. He was nearly beaten to death. B. He unexpected had a roay dream. C. He refused to pay although he could have. D. He again failed to get arrested by the
police.
C
Research has found that singing in a choir may improve mental and emotional well-being and social connections. In fact, it may also help people recover from several mental illnesses like depression and anxiety, according to a 2017 study.
The University of East Anglia studied groups for six months who sang in weekly workshops and found that the mixture of singing and socializing improved people’s sense of belonging and well-being. “For some it represented a wider program of support,” said researcher professor Tom Shakespeare. “For others it stood out as the key to their recovery or maintenance of health.”
Group singing can have a positive influence on one’s physical health as well. Researchers in Sweden found that singing improved heart health; they noted that the heart rates of singers slowly became synchronized (同步), eventually beating as one.
Singing may also help you live longer. A 2013 study conducted at the University of California of San Francisco (UCSF) hoped to determine if singing can actually lead to a longer life. The researchers created 12 new choirs in senior centers across the bay area. Singing volunteers were all tested for things like balance and leg strength before the program began, and will be tested again at the end. The researchers found that singing seems to be good for balance.
Exercising the vocal chords (声 带 ) can be good for the lungs. Up to 30 percent of older adults complain of having shortness of breath, and singing in a choir can help work the respiratory (呼吸) system and help improve breathing.
Famed English musician Brian Eno has weighed in on the topic already. Having started an
acappella (无伴奏合唱) group with friends and finding immeasurable benefit, Eno wrote in an essay for NPR, “A recent long-term study conducted in Scandinavia sought to discover which activities related to a healthy and happy later life. Three stood out: camping, dancing and singing.” He added, “I believe that singing is the key to long life, a good figure, a stable temperament, increased intelligence, new friends, super self-confidence, heightened sexual attractiveness and a better sense of humor.”
28. The 2013 study conducted at UCSF actually found that _______.
A. singing benefited the lungs B. singinghelped improve balance
C. singing helped people live longer D. singing made one’s legs stronger 29. Which of following would Brian Eno probably agree with?
A. Singing has no disadvantages. B. Dancing is as good as camping.
C. One can live longer by taking up singing.
D. Singing can make you stay young and unchanged. 30. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to _______.
A. a wider program of support B. the University of East Anglia
C. the mixture of singing and socializing D. people’s sense of belonging and well-being
31. It can be safely concluded from the passage that _______. A. singing in a choir is better than singing alone
C. singing can cure people of their mental illnesses
D. singing in a choir benefits old people mentally and physically
D
We live in a heavily edited world. People in pictures are no longer people. They are perfect human beings whom we can only try, and fail, to live up to. And food in pictures is no longer food. It’s artwork, something to make you desire a lifestyle while reminding you that you’re not part of it.
But people are getting sick and tired of such perfection, leading to something Pamela Grossman, a director at Getty Images, calls “perfection fatigue (疲劳)”. This new attitude is now driving people to value something different: honesty.
The pizza company Domino’s, for example, is taking on the trend by encouraging its customers to post un-edited pictures of their pizzas on social media, as part of the no filter (滤镜) movement that has become so popular on Instagram. This may mean oily boxes, dull-colored cheese and less-than-delicious-looking meat, but these images show what we’re actually paying for.
“It’s exactly what it looks like when you really get a pizza,” Dennis Maloney, chief digital officer of Domino’s, told the website FastCoDesign. “It feels much more honest when the images are imperfect.”
Things are also changing with perfect human images. For example, US clothing retailer Gap launched a “Dress Normal” campaign in 2014, promoting simple clothes instead of smart outfits like those of runway models. Underwear companies are also starting to use regular-looking models on their posters instead of “Miss Size-Zeros”.
“We spend so much time trying to hide our flaws because our culture has set it up that we have to be ashamed if we’re not perfect,” US filmmaker Cynthia Wade said. “I think people are tired of it. They’re suddenly much more willing to embrace the ugly or ironic (讽刺的).”
But while it’s probably true that we won’t see an end to “perfect” pictures any time soon, at least some people are starting to see that it can actually be appealing to be imperfect, or to use the name of one of American singer Grace VanderWaal’s albums, Perfectly Imperfect.
32. What is the problem mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. Art works should be well edited. B. We appreciate pictures too much. C. We can never eat food in a picture. D. Pictures are too far from the reality.
33. What would Dennis Maloney be in favor of?
A. Perfection. B. Honesty. C. Disorder. D. Ugliness. 34. The underlined word “flaws” in Paragraph 6 can be replaced by _______.
A. shortcomings B. advantages C. personalities D. possessions 35. What is the best title for this passage?
A. No one or nothing can be perfect B. There is no need to edit the world C. Beauty behind editing is being discovered D. Dull-colored pictures are gaining popularity

How to get ready for your big interview
Sweaty hands, stomach pains and confused looks are common in high school seniors who are going to study abroad when they have their first college interview. But, truth be told, most
interviews go very well, and students walk away pleased with the way they have expressed who they are and what they’re looking for in a college.
36 How do you prepare for the college interview? Here are some tips.
Make a good first impression. You can’t go wrong if you dress for a business meeting. Do your homework. Research the college, not just on its website but also on college blogs and sites with student reviews.
37 Talk more about how you have achieved your goals and less about the awards you have received. Be prepared to share why you feel the college is a good match for you.
Practice answering questions with a family member. Write up questions you think you’ll be asked, such as: 38 What are your favorite subjects and why? Why are you interested in attending this college? More challenging questions could be: What three adjectives would your friends use to describe you? If you had a day to do whatever you wanted, what would you do?
Prepare questions to ask each interviewer based on your research. 39 Suggested questions: Is it possible to be an exchange student two or more times, perhaps once in the summer and once during the academic year? How does the advising system work?
And don’t forget to leave a good impression when you exit. 40 Follow the tips above and your interview will most likely go smoothly.

One reason is because the tuition is only 5,000 RMB a year, comparing with 8,000 RMB for the university in the south. This makes a big difference for a family like me, because of my father is a peasant. My studying in the northern university can save him a lot of money. Other reason is the preference policy offered by the northern university. Any student who chooses to study there may gain an extra 20 points, which great raises the possibility of admitted. Of course, it doesn’t mean that it will be quite easy to pass the entrance exam because this university has limited a number to only 10. Besides, I have been done quite well, so I believe I can pass the entrance exam.
