The new app is called MyShake, which is the work of four researchers at the University of California. Berkeley.Smartphones are equipped with accelerometers(加速器). MyShake uses phon

12、e accelerometers to measure seismic (地震的) activity. It has been programmed to know the difference between normal activity and earthquake movement. The software developers say their app is right 93 percent of the time. A smartphone sends seismic information to the app developers. If the developers re

13、ceive several warnings from one area, it recognizes that an earthquake may be taking place or will take place soon. Using information sent from the app, the network then judges the location and strength of the quake in real time. MyShake can record 5.0 earthquake at distances of 10 kilometers or les

14、s.MyShake uses very little power, according to its developers. Only when seismic activity is sensed by the app does it become active and sends data to the network. The app works best when your phone is resting on a flat surface, like a table.The developers hope that MyShake can add to information co

15、llected by the U.S Geological Survey. That U.S agency has created the Earthquake Early Warning System, also known as the EEW. The EEW has used sensors for measuring quakes in many areas. In places where no such equipment exists, MyShake may be the only method of early quake detection (发现). The app a

20、are paying attention in class. The software, called Nestor, is used in two online classes at the ESG business school beginning in September.The idea, according to LCA founder Marcel Saucet, is to use the data that Nestor collects to improve the performance of both students and professors. The softwa

21、re uses students webcams（网络摄像机）to analyze eye movements and facial expressions and determine whether students are paying attention to a video lecture. It then formulates quizzes based on the content covered during moments of inattentiveness. Professors would also be able to identify moments when stu

22、dents attention declined, which could help to improve their teaching, Saucet says.Advocates for AI in education say that the software is actually unable to teach a course, but the technology could be used as a digital tutor that would adapt to a students individual needs, and help develop more effec

23、tive studying habits. Such software could also help teachers by providing feedback on the effectiveness of their teaching, advocates say.Saucet says Nestor wont store any of the video footage it gets and that his company has no plans to sell any other data the software collects. In addition to facia

24、l recognition and analysis, the software can integrate（合并）with students calendars to suggest possible study times, and track their online behavior to pick up on patterns.Rose Luckin, a professor at the University College London Knowledge Lab, says AI could unlock the “black box of learning” by provi

25、ding information on how and when learning happens. Luckin says a program like Nestor could be useful for students who take classes remotely, since “there isnt a human there watching them.” And while some are concerned that AI may one day replace teachers, Luckin sees the technology more as an assist

26、ant, rather than a replacement. Saucet agrees. “Human contact is not going to go away,” he says. “There will always be professors.”1、How does Nestor work to find out when students arent paying attention?ABy collecting the data of students performance in different classes.BBy collecting the students

27、grades in the quizzes.CBy shooting and analyzing students eye movements and facial expressions.DBy identifying moments when students attention declined.2、Which is the benefit of AI education?AIt could be used exactly to replace a tutor.BIt helps student to develop more effective studying habits.CThe

28、 software is able to satisfy the requirement of a course.DIt could help teachers to give feedback on students performance.3、How does Nestor deal with the information collected from students?ANestor will use it to suggest possible study time to students schedule.BIt wont store any video footage but f
