By looking at engineering issues from a marketing point of view, it became clear that the 11 of upgrades wasn't due to a quality issue.

(10 points)Your social life is defined as the activities you do with other people, for pleasure, when you are not working. It is important to have a social life, but what is right for one person won’t be right for another. Some of us feel energized by spending lots of time with others, 1 of us may feel drained, even if it’s doing something we enjoy.This is why finding a 2 in your social life is key.

(40 points)Text 1Anger over AI’s role in exacerbating inequality could endanger the technology’s future. In her new book Cogs and Monsters: What Economics Is, and What It Should Be, Diane Coyle, an economist at Cambridge University, argues that the digital economy requires new ways of thinking about progress.“Whatever we mean by the economy growing, by things getting better, the gains will have to be more evenly shared than in the recent past,”she writes.“An economy of tech millionaires or billionaires and gig workers, with middle-income jobs undercut by automation, will not be politically sustainable.”Improving living standards and increasing prosperity for more people will require greater use of digital technologies to boost productivity in various sectors, including healthcare and construction, says Coyle. But people can’t be expected to embrace the changes if they’re not seeing the benefits——if they’re just seeing good jobs being destroyed.In a recent interview with MIT Technology Review, Coyle said she fears that tech’s inequality problem could be a roadblock to deploying AI.“We’re talking about disruption,”she says.“These are transformative technologies that change the ways we spend our time every day, that change business models that succeed.”To make such“tremendous changes,”she adds, you need social buy-in. Instead, says Coyle, resentment is simmering among many as the benefits are perceived to go to elites in a harmful of prosperous cities.According to the Booking Institution, a short list of eight American cities thatincluded San Francisco, San Jose, Boston, and Seattle had roughly 38% of all tech jobs by 2019. New AI technologies are particularly concentrated: Brookings’s Mark Muro and Sifan Liu estimate that just 15 cities account for two-thirds of the AI assets and capabilities in the United States(San Francisco and San Jose along account for about one-quarter).The dominance of a few cities in the invention and commercialization of AI means that geographical disparities in wealth will continue to soar. Not only will this foster political and social unrest, but it could, as Coyle suggests, hold back the sorts of AI technologies needed for regional economies to grow.Part of the solution could lie in somehow loosening the stranglehold that Big Tech has on defining the AI agenda. That will likely take increased federal funding for research independent of the tech giants. Muro and others have suggested hefty federal funding to help create US regional innovation centers, for example.A more immediate response is to broaden our digital imagination to conceive ofAI technologies that don’t simply replace jobs but expand opportunities in the sectors that different parts of the country care most about, like healthcare, education and manufacturing.21.Coyle argues that economic growth should .[A]give rise to innovations[B]diversify career choices[C]benefit people equally[D]be promoted forcefully22.According to Paragraph 2, digital technologies should be used to .[A]bring about instant prosperity[B]reduce people’s workload[C]raise overall work efficiency[D]enhance cross-sector cooperation23.What does Coyle fear about transformative technologies ?[A]They may affect work-life balance.[B]They may be impractical to deploy.[C]They may incur huge expenditure.[D]They may be unwelcome to public.24.Several American cities are mentioned to show .[A]the uneven distribution of AI technology in the US[B]the disappointing prospect of jobs in the US[C]the fast progress of US regional economies[D]the increasing significance of US AI assets25.With regard to concern, the author suggests .[A]raising funds to start new AI projects[B]encourage collaboration in AI research[C]guarding against side effects of AI[D]redefining the role of AI technologiesText 2The UK is facing a future construction crisis because of a failure to plant trees to produce wood. Confor has warned. The forestry and wood trade body has called for urgent action to reduce the country’s reliance on timber imports and provide a stable supply of wood for future generations. Currently only 20 percent of the UK’s wood requirement is home-grown while it remains the second-largest net importer of timber in the wood.Coming at a time of fresh incentives from the UK government for landowners to grow more tress, the trade body says these don’t go far enough and fail to promote the benefits of planting them to boost timber supplies.“Not only are we facing a carbon crisis now, but we will also be facing a future construction crisis because of a failure to plant trees to produce wood.”said Stuart Goodall, chief executive of confor. For decades we have not taken responsibility for investing in domestic wood supply, leaving us exposed to fluctuating prices and fighting for future supplies of wood as global demand rises and own supplies fall.The UK has ideal conditions for growing wood to build low-carbon homes and is a global leader in certifying that its forests are sustainably managed. Confor says.While around three quarters of Scottish homes are built from Scottish timber, the useof home-grown wood in England is only around 25 percent. The causes of the UK’s current position are complex and range from outdated perceptions of productive forestry to decimation of tress y gray squirrels. It also encompasses significant hesitation on behalf of farmers and other landowners to invest in longer too planting projects.While productive tree planting can deliver financial benefits to rural economies and contribute to the UK’s net-zero strategy, the focus of government support continues to be on food production and rewilding and planting of native woodland solely for biodiversity. Goodall added:“While food production and biodiversity health are clearly of critical importance, we need our land to also provide secure supplies of wood for construction, manufacturing an contribution to net-zero.”While the UK government has stated its ambition for more three planting, there has been little action on the ground. Confor is now calling for much greater impetus behind those aspirations to ensure we have enough wood to meet increasing demand.26.It can be learned from Paragraph 1 that UK need to .[A]increase its domestic wood supply[B]reduce its demand for timber[C]lower its wood production costs[D]lift its control on timber imports27.According to Confor, UK government fresh incentives .[A]can hardly address construction crisis[B]are believed to come at the wrong time[C]seem to be misleading for landowners[D]will be too costly to put into practice28.The UK exposure to fluctuating wood prices is the result of .[A]the government’s inaction on timber imports[B]inadequate investment in growing wood[C]the competition among timber traders at home[D]wood producers’ motivation to maximize profits29.Which of following causes the shortage of wood supply ?[A]Excessive timber consumption in construction[B]Unfavorable conditions for growing trees[C]Outdated technology if the wood industry[D]Farmers’ unwillingness to plan trees30.What does Goodall think US government should do ?[A]Subsidies the building of low-carbon homes[B]Pay greater attention to boosting rural economies[C]Provide more support for productive tree planting[D]Give priority to pursuing its net-zero strategyText 3One big challenge in keeping unsafe aging drivers off the the road is convincing them that it is time to turn over the key.“It is a complete life-changer when someone stops or is forced to stop driving,”said former risk manager Anne M.Menke.The American Medical Association advises physicians that in situation where clear evidence of substantial driving impairment implies a strong threat to patient and public safety, and where the physician’s advice to discontinue driving privileges is ignored, it is desirable and ethical to notify the Department of Motor Vehicles, Menke wrote,“Some states require physicians to report, others allow but do not mandate reports, while a few consider a report a breach of confidentiality. There could be liability and penalties if a physician does not act in accordance with state laws on reporting and confidentiality,”She counseled.Part of the problem in keeping older drivers safe is that the difficulties are addressed piecemeal by different professions with different focuses, including gerontologists, highway administration officials, automotive engineers, and others, said gerontologist Elizabeth Dugan.“There’s not a National Institute of Older Driver Studies,”she said.“We need better evidence on what makes drivers unsafe”and whatcan help, said Dugan.One thing that does seem to work is requiring drivers to report in person for license renewal. Mandatory in-person renewal was associated with a 31 percent reduction in fatal crashes involving drivers 85 or older, according to one study.Passing vision tests also produced a similar decline in fatal crashes for those drivers, although there appeared to be no benefit from combining the two.Many old drivers don’t see eye doctors or can’t afford to. Primary care providers have their hands full and may not be able to follow through with patients who have trouble driving because they can’t turn their heads or remember where they are going or have gotten shorter and haven’t changed their seat settings sufficiently to reach car pedals easily.As long as there are other cars on the roads, self-driving cars won’t solve the problems of crashes, said Dugan. Avoiding dangers posted by all those human drivers would require too many algorithms, she said. But we need to do more to improve safety, said Dugan.“If we’re going to have 100-year lives, we need cars thata 90-year-old can drive comfortably.”31.According to Paragraph 1, keeping unsafe aging drivers off the road .[A]is a new safety measure[B]has become a disputed issue[C]can be a tough task to complete[D]will be beneficial to their health32.The American Medical Association’s advice .[A]has won support from drivers[B]is generally considered unrealistic[C]is widely dismissed as unnecessary[D]has met with different responses33.According to Dugan, efforts to keep older drivers safe .[A]have brought about big changes[B]need to be well coordinated[C]have gained public concern[D]call for relevant legal support34.Some older drivers have trouble driving because they tend to .[A]stick with bad driving habits[B]have a weakened memory[C]suffer from chronic pains[D]neglect car maintenance35.Dugan thinks that the solution to the problems of crashes may lie in .[A]upgrading self-driving vehicles[B]developing senior-friendly cars[C]renovating transport facilities[D]adjusting the age limit for driversText 4If you look at the apps on your phone, chances are you have at least one related to your health and probably several. Whether it is a mental health app, a fitness tracker, a connected health device or something else, many of us are making advantages of this technology to keep better track of our health in some shape or form. Recent research from the Organization for the the Review of Care and Health Applications found that 350,000 health apps were available on the market, 90,000 of which launched in 2020 alone.While these apps have a great deal to offer, it is not always clear how the personal information we input is collected, safeguarded, and shared online. Existing health privacy law, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, is primarily focused on the way hospitals, doctor’s offices, clinics, and insurance companies store health records online. The health information these apps and health data tracking wearable are collecting typically does not receive the same legal protections.Without additional protection in place, companies may share (and potentially monetize) personal health information in a way consumers may not have authorized or anticipated. In 2021, Flo Health faced a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) investigation. The FTC alleged in a complaint that“despite express privacy claims, the company took control of users’ sensitivity fertility data and shared it with third parties.”Flo Health and the FTC settled the matter with a company to get app users’ express affirmative consent before sharing their health information as well as to instruct the third parties to delete the data they had obtained.Section 5 of the FTC Act empowers the FTC to initiate enforcement action against unfair or deceptive acts, meaning the FTC can only act after the fact if a company’s privacy practices are misleading or cause unjustified consumer harm.While the FTC is doing what it can to ensure apps are keeping their promises to the Order requiring the consumers around the handling of their sensitive health information, the rate at which these health apps are hitting the market demonstrates just how immense of a challenge this is.As for the prospects for federal legislation, commentators suggest that comprehensive federal privacy legislation seems unlikely in the short term. States have begun implementing their own solutions to shore up protections for consumer-generated health data. California has been at the forefront of state privacy efforts with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018. Virginia, Colorado, and Utah have also recently passed state consumer data privacy legislation.36.The research findings are cited in Paragraph 1 to show .[A]the prevalence of health apps[B]the public concern over health[C]popularity of smartphone[D]the advancement of technology37.What does the author imply about existing health privacy law ?[A]Its coverage needs to be extended[B]Its enforcement needs strengthening[C]It has discouraged medical misconduct[D]It has disappointed insurance companies38.Before sharing its users’ health information, Flo Health is required to .[A]seek the approval of the FTC[B]find qualified third parties[C]remove irrelevant personal data[D]obtain their explicit permission39.What challenges is the FTC currently faced with ?[A]The complexity of health information.[B]The rapid increase in new health apps.[C]The subtle deceptiveness of health apps.[D]The difficulty in assessing consumer harm.40.It can be learned from the last paragraph that health data protection .[A]has been embraced by health app developers[B]has been a focus of federal policy-making[C]has encouraged opposition in California[D]has gained legislative support in some statesPart BDirections: Read the following text and answer the questions by choosing the most suitable subheading from the list A-G for each numbered paragraph(41-45).There are two extra subheadings which you do not need to use. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (10 points)High school students eager to standout in the college application process often participate in a litany of extracurricular activities hoping to bolster their chances of admission to a selective undergraduate institution. However, college admission experts say that the quality of a college hopeful’s extracurricular activities matters more than the number of activities he or she participates in.41.Sue Rexford, the director of college guidance at the Charles E. Smith Jewish Day School, says it is not necessary for a student filling out the Common Application to list too many activities in the application.“No college will expect thata student has a huge laundry list of extracurricular activities that they have beenpassionately involved in each for an extended period of time，”Rexford wrote in an email.Experts say it is tougher to distinguish oneself in a school-affiliated extracurricular activity that is common among high school students than it is to stand out while doing an uncommon activity.“The competition to stand out and make an impact is going to be much stiffer, and so if they’re going to do a popularactivity, I’d say, be the best at it,”says Sara.42.Harberson, a college admission consultant. High school students who have an impressive personal project they are working on independently often impress colleges, experts say.“For example, a student with an interest in entrepreneurship could demonstrate skills and potential by starting a profitable small business,”Olivia Valdes, the founder of Zen Admissions consulting firm, wrote in an email.Joseph Adegboyega-Edun, a Maryland high school guidance counselor, says unconventional extracurricular activities can help students impress college admission offices, assuming they demonstrated serious commitment.“Again, since one of the big questions high school seniors must consider is ‘What makes you unique ?’ having an uncommon extracurricular activity, not a conventional one, is an advantage,”he wrote in an email.43.Experts say demonstrating talent in at least one extracurricular activity can help in the college admissions process, especially at top-tier undergraduate institutions.“Distinguishing yourself in one focused type of extracurricular activity can be a positive in the admissions process, especially for highly selective institutions, where having top grades and test scores is not enough,”Katie Kelley, admissions counselor at Ivy Wise admission consultancy, wrote in an email.“Students need to have that quality or hook that will appeal to admissions officers and allow them to visualize how the student might come and enrich their campus community.”44.Extracurricular activities related to the college major declared on a college application are beneficial, experts suggest.“If you already know your major, having an extracurricular activity that fits into that major can be a big plus,”says Mayghin Levine, the manager of educational opportunities with The Cabbage Patch Settlement House, a Louisville, Kentucky, nonprofit community center.45.High school students who have had a strong positive influence on their community through an extracurricular activity may impress a college and win a scholarship, says Erica Gwyn, a former math and science magnet program assistant at a public high school who is now the executive director of the Kaleidoscope Careers Academy in Atlanta, a nonprofit organization.A.Students who stands out in a specific extracurricular acting will be favored by top-tier institutions.B.Students whose extracurricular activity has benefited their community are likely to win a scholarship.C.Undertaking too many extracurricular will hardly be seen as a plus by colleges.D.A student who exhibits activity in doing business can impress colleges.E.High school students participating in popular activity should excel in it.F.Engaging in uncommon activities can demonstrate students’ determination and dedication.G.It is advisable for students to choose an extracurricular activity related to their future study at college.Section Ⅰ TranslationDirections: In this section there is a text in English.

They also provide an opportunity to talk to the people responsible for growing or raising your food, support your local economy and pick up fresh seasonal produce all at the same time.Farmers’ markets are usually weekly or monthly events, most often with outdoor stalls, which allows farmers or producers to sell their food directly tocustomers. The size or regularity of markets can vary from season to season, depending on the area’s agricultural calendar, and you are likely to find different produce on sale at different times of the year. By cutting out the middlemen, the farmers secure more profit for their produce. Shoppers also benefit from seeing exactly where and to who their money is going.Section Ⅰ WritingDirections: Suppose you and your friend Jack will do a survey on the protection of old houses in an ancient town. you should1)put forward a plan and2)ask for opinion.You should write about 100 words on the ANSWER SHEET.Do not use your own name.
