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.

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 〔40 points〕Text 1＂I＇m excited about our progresses，＂ says Brown， who harvests eggs for Denver-based Nest Fresh Eggs and is adding more cover crops that draw worms and crickets for the chickens to eat. The birds＇waste then fertilizes fields. Such improvements ＂allow our hens to forage for higher-quality natural feed that will be good for the land， the hens， and the eggs that we supply to our customers.＂The egg industry＇s push is the first major testof whether animal products from regenerative farms canbee the next premium offering. In barely more than a decade， organic eggs went from being dismissed as a niche product in natural foods stores to being sold at Walmart. More recently there were similar doubts about probiotics and plant-based meats， but both have exploded into major supermarket categories. If the sustainable-egg roll out is successful， it could open the floodgates for regenerative beef broccoli and beyond.Regenerative products could be a hard sell，because the concept is tough to define quickly， says Julie Stanton， associate professor of agricultural economics at Pennsylvania State University Brandywine. Such farming also brings minimal， if any，improvement to the food products 〔though some producers say their eggs have more protein〕.The industry is betting that the same consumers paying more for premium attributes such as free-range， non-GMO， and pasture-raised eggs will embrace sustainability. Surveys show that younger generations are more concerned about climate change， and some ofthe success of plant-based meat can be chalked up to shoppers wanting to signal their desire to protect the enviro____ent. Young adults ＂really care about the pla，＂ says John Brunnquell altering the food chain beyond what I think even they understand what they＇re doing.＂[A] at a considerably low cost[B] at the demand of regular shoppers[C] as a replacement for organic eggs[D] on specially designed farms22. Larry Brown is excited about his progress in__________[A] reducing the damage of worms[B] accelerating the disposal of waste[C] creating a sustainable system[D] attracting customers to his products23. The exle of organic eggs is used in the fourth paragraph is to suggest ________[A] the doubts to over natural feeds[B] the setbacks in the eggs industry[C] the potential of regenerative products[D] the promotional success of super markets24. It can be learned from the last paragraph that young people __________[A] are reluctant to change their diet[C] are curious about new food[D] are amazed at agriculture advance25. John Brunnquell would disagree with Julie Stanton over regenerative products in __________[A] markets prospects[B] nutritional value[C] standard definition[D] moral implicationText 2One in three Americans who are at least 40 have or plan to have a job in retirement to prepare for a longer life， according to a survey conducted by Harris Poll for TD Ameritrade. Even more surprising is that more than half of ＂unretirees＂—those who plan to work in retirement or went back to work after retiring—said they would be employed in their lateryears even if they had enough money to settle down，the survey showed.＂The concept of retirement is evolving，＂ said Christine Russell， senior manager of retirement at TD Ameritrade. ＂It＇s not just about finances. The value of work is also driving folks to continue working past retirement.＂One reason for the change in retirement patterns：Americans are living longer. The share of the population 65 and older was 16%in 2023， up 3.2% from the prior year， according to the U.S Census Bureau. That＇s also up 30.2% since 2023.Because of longer life spans， Americans are also boosting their savings to preserve their nest eggs，the TD Ameritrade study showed， which surveyed 2000 adults between 40 to 79. Six in 10 ＂unretirees＂ are increasing their savings in anticipation of a longer life， according to the survey. Among the most popular ways they are doing this， the pany said， is by reducing their overall expenses， securing lifeinsurance or maximizing their contributions to retirement accounts.＂The most challenging moments in life are getting married， starting a family and ultimatelyretiring，＂ Facet Wealth cofounder Brent Weiss told USA Today. ＂It＇s not just a financial decision， but an emotional one. Many people believe they can＇t retire.＂26. The survey conducted by Harris Poll indicates that __________[A] over half of the retirees are physically fit for work[B] the old workforce is as active as the younger one[C] one in three Americans enjoy earlierretirement[D] more Americans are willing to work in retirement[A] retirement may cause problems for them[B] boredom can be relieved after retirement[C] the mental health of retirees is overlooked[D] ＂unretirement＂ contributes to the economy28. Retirement patterns are changing partly due to __________[A] labor shortages[B] population growth[C] longer life expectancy[D] rising living costs29. Many retires are increasing in savings by__________[A] investing more in stocks[B] taking up odd jobs[C] getting well paid work30. With regard to retirement， Brent Weiss thinks that many people are __________[A] unprepared[B] unafraid[C] disappointed[D] enthusiasticText 3We have all encountered them， in both our personal and professional lives. Think about the timesyou felt tricked or frustrated by a membership or subscription that had a seamless sign-up process but was later difficult to cancel something that should be simple and transparent can be plicated， intentionally or unintentionally， in ways that impair consumer choice. These are exles of dark patterns.First coined in 2023 by user experience expert Harry Brignull，＂dark patterns＂ is a catch-all term for practices that manipulate user interfaces to influence the decision-making ability of users. Brignull identifies 12 types of mon dark patterns，ranging from misdirection and hidden costs to roach motel， where user experience seems easy and intuitive at the start， but turns difficult when the user tries to get out.Where is the line between ethical， persuasive design and dark patterns？ Businesses should engage in conversations with IT， pliance， risk， and legal teams to review their privacy policy， and include in the discussion the customer/user experience designers and coders responsible for the pany＇s userinterface， as well as the marketers and advertisers responsible for sign-ups checkout baskets， pricing，and promotions. Any or all these teams can play a role in creating or avoiding ＂digital deception＂.Lawmakers and regulators are slowly starting to address the ambiguity around dark patterns， most recently at the state level. In March， the California Attorney General announced the approval of additional regulations under the California Consumer Privacy Act 〔CCPA〕 that ensures that consumers will not be confused or misled when seeking to exercise their data privacy rights. The regulations aim to ban dark pattern—this means prohibiting panies from using confusing language or unnecessary steps such asforcing them to click through multiple screens or listen to reasons why they shouldn＇t opt out.As more states consider promulgating additional regulations， there is a need for greater accountability from within the business munity. Dark patterns also be addressed on a self-regulatory basis， but only if organizations hold themselvesaccountable， not just to legal requirements， but also to industry best practices and standard.31. It can be learned from the first two paragraphs that dark patterns __________.[A] improve user experiences[B] leak user information for profit[C] undermine users＇ decision-making[D] remind users of hidden costs32. The 2023 study on dark patterns is mentioned to show __________.[A] their major flaws[B] their plex designs[C] their severe damage[D] their strong presence33. To handle digital deception， businesses should __________.[A] listen to customer feedback[B] talk with relevant teams[D] rely on professional training[A] guide users through opt-out processes[B] protect consumers from being tricked[C] grant panies data privacy rights[D] restrict access to problematic content35. According to the last paragraph， a key to coping with dark patterns is __________.[A] new legal requirements[B] businesses＇ self -discipline[C] strict regulatory standards[D] consumers＇ safety awarenessText 4Although ethics classes are mon around the world，scientists are unsure if their lessons can actually change behavior， evidence either way is weak，relying on contrived laboratory tests or sometimes unreliable self-reports. But a new study published in Cognition found that， in at least one real-world situation， a single ethics lesson may have had lasting effects.The researchers investigated one class sessions＇impact on eating meat. They chose this particular behavior for three reasons， according to study co-author Eric Schwitzgebel， a philosopher at theUniversity of California， Riverside： students＇attitudes on the topic are variable and unstable，behavior is easily measurable， and ethics literature largely agrees that eating less meat is good becauseit reduces enviro____ental harm and animal suffering. Half of the students in four large philosophy classes read an article on the ethics of factory-farmed meat，optionally watched an 11-minute video on the topic and joined a 50-minute discussion. The other half focused on charitable giving instead.Then， unknown to the students， the researchers studied their anonymized meal-card purchases for that semester—nearly 14，000 receipts for almost 500 students. Schwitzgebel predicted the intervention would have no effect； he had previously found that ethics professors do not differ from other professors on a range of behaviors， including voting rates，blood donation and returning library books. But among student subjects who discussed meat ethics， meal purchases containing meat decreased from 52 to 45 percent-and this effect held steady for the study＇sduration of several weeks. Purchases from the other group remained at 52 percent.That＇s actually a pretty large effect for apretty small intervention， Schwitzgebel says. Psychologist Nina Strohminger at the University of Pennsylvania， who was not involved in the study，says she wants the effect to be real but cannot rule out some unknown confounding variable. And if real she notes， it might be reversible by another nudge：＂Easy e， easy go.＂Schwitzgebel suspects the greatest impact came from social influence - classmates or teaching assistants leading the discussions may have shared their own vegetarianism， showing it as achievable or more mon. Second， the video may have had an emotional impact. Least rousing， he thinks， was rational argument， although his co-authors say reason might play a bigger role. Now there searchers are probing the specific effects of teaching style， teaching assistant＇s eating habits and students＇ videoexposure Meanwhile Schwitzgebel who had predicted no effect-will be eating his words.36. Scientists generally believe that the effects of ethics classes are __________.[A] hard to determine[B] narrowly interpreted[C] difficult to ignore[D] poorly summarized37. Which of the following is a reason for the researchers to study meat-eating？[A] It is mon among students.[B] It is a behavior easy to measure.[C] It is important to students＇ health.[D] It is a hot topic in ethics classes38. Eric Schwitzgebel＇s previous findings suggest that ethics professors __________.[A] are seldom critical of their students[B] are less sociable than other professors[C] are not sensitive to political issues[D] are not necessarily ethically better39. Nina Strohminger thinks that effect of the intervention is __________.[A] permanent[B] predictable[C] uncertain[D] unrepeatable40. Eric Schwitzgebel suspects that the students＇change in behavior __________.[A] can bring psychological benefits[B] can be analyzed statistically[C] is a result of multiple factors[D] is a sign of self-developmentPart BDirections： Read the following text and answer the questions by choosing the most suitable subtitle from the list A-G for each numbered paragraph 〔41-45〕.

And it is important to get the right dose ofactivity. ＂Too much too soon either results in injury or burnout，＂ says Mary Yoke， PhD， a faculty member in the kinesiology department at Indiana University in Bloomington. The following simple strategies will help you return to exercise safely after a break.41. ___________________________Don＇t try to go back to what you were doing before your break. If you were walking 3 miles a day，playing 18 holes of golf three times a week， orlifting 10-pound dumbbells for three sets of 10 reps，reduce activity to half a mile every other day， or nine holes of golf once a week with short walks on other days， or use 5-pound dumbbells for one set of 10 reps. Increase time， distance， and intensity gradually. ＂This isn＇t something you can do overnight，＂ says Keri L. Denay， MD. lead author of a recent American College of Sports Medicine advisory that encourages Americans to not overlook the benefits of activity during the pandemic. But you＇ll reap benefits such as less anxiety and improved sleep right away.42. ___________________________If you＇re breathing too hard to talk in plete sentences， back off. If you feel good， go a little longer or faster. Feeling wiped out after a session？Go easier next time. And stay alert to serious symptoms， such as chest pain or pressure， severe shortness of breath or dizziness， or faintness， and seek medical attention immediately.43. ___________________________44. ___________________________Even if you can＇t yet do a favorite activity，you can practice the moves. With or without a club or racket swing like you＇re hitting the ball. Paddlelike you＇re in a kayak or canoe. Mimic your favorite swimming strokes. The action will remind you of the joy the activity brought you and prime your musclesfor when you can get out there again.45. ___________________________Section III Translation46.

(40 points)Text 1Every Saturday morning, at 9 am, more than 50,000runners set off to run 5km around their local park. TheParkrun phenomenon began with a dozen friends and hasinspired 400 events in the UK and more abroad. Events arefree, staffed by thousands of volunteers. Runners rangefrom four years old tograndparents; their times range fromAndrew Baddeley’s world record 13 minutes 48 seconds up toan hour.Parkrun is sueeding where London’s Olympic “legacy”is failing. Ten years ago on Monday, it was announced thatthe Games of the 30th Olympiad would be in London. Planningdocuments pledged that the great legacy of the Games wouldbe to level a nation of sport lovers away from theircouches. The population would be fitter, healthier andproduce more winners. It has not happened. The number ofadults doing weekly sport did rise, by nearly 2 million inthe run—up to xx—but the general population was growingfaster. Worse, the numbers are now falling at an aeleratingrate. The opposition claims primary school pupils doing atleast two hours of sport a week have nearly halved. Obesityhas risen among adults and children. Officialretrospections continue as to why London xx failed to“inspire a generation.” The suess of Parkrun offersanswers.Parkun is not a race but a time trial: Your onlypetitor is the clock. The ethos weles anybody. There is asmuch joy over a puffed-out first-timer being clapped overthe line as there is about top talent shining. The Olympicbidders, by contrast, wanted to getmore people doingsports and to produce more elite athletes. The dual aim wasmixed up: The stress on suess over taking part was intimidating for newers.Indeed, there is something a little absurd in the stategetting involved in the planning of such a fundamentally“grassroots”, concept as munity sports associations. Ifthere is a role for government, it should really be gettinginvolved in providing mon goods—making sure there is spacefor playing fields and the money to pave tennis and ballcourts, and encouraging the provision of all theseactivities in schools. But suessive governments havepresided over selling green spaces, squeezing money fromlocal authorities and declining attention on sport ineducation. Instead of wordy, worthy strategies, futuregovernments need to do more to provide the conditions forsport to thrive. Or at least not make them worse.21.

The Royal Horticultural Society(RHS),which norms the annual show in west London,says it has introduced the ban because of the damage plastic grass does to the environment and biodiversity.Ed Horne of the RHS said:we launched our sustainability strategy last year and fake grass is just not in line with our ethos and views on plastic.We recommend using real grass because of its environment benefits,which include supporting wildlife,alleviating flooding and cooling the environment.The RHS’s decision comes as compaginers try to raise awareness of the problem fake grass cause.A Twitter account,which claims to“cut through the greenwash”of artificial grass,already has more than20,000followers.It is trying to encourage people to sigh two petitions,one calling for a ban on the sale of plastic grass and another calling for an“ecological damage”tax on such lawns.They have gathered7,276and11,282signatures.However,supporters of fake grass point out that there’s also an environmental impact with natural lawns,which need mowing and therefore usually consume electricity or petrol.The industry also points out that real grass require considerable amounts of water,weed killer or other treatments and that people who lay fake grass tend to use their garden more.The industry also claims that people who lay fake grass spend on average of£500trees or shrouds for their garden, which provides habitat for insects.21.The RHS thinks that plastic grassA.is harmful to the environment.B.is a hot topic in gardening circlesC.is overpraised in the annual showD.is ruining the view of west London22.The petitions mentioned in Paragraph3reveal the campaigners'A disappointment with the RHS.B resistance to fake grass use.C.anger over the proposed tax.D.concern about real grass supply23.In Paragroph4.,supporters of fake grass point outA.the necessity to lower the costs of fake grassB.the disadvantage of growing real grass.C.the way to take care of artificial lawnsD the challenges of insect habitat protection24.what would the govenment do with regard to artifical grass?A Urge legislation to restrict its use.B Take measures to guarantee its qualityC Remind its users to obey existing rulesD.Replace it with sustainable alternatives25It can be learned from the text that fake grassA.is being improved continouslyB.has seen a market share docline.C.is becoming increasingly affordabeD has been a controversial product.Text2It's easy to dismiss as absurd the federal government's ideas for plugging the chronic funding gap of our national parks.Can anyone really think it's a good idea to allow Amazon deliveries to your tent in Yosemite or food trucks to line up under the redwood trees at Sequoia National Park?But the govemment is right about one thing:U.S.national parks are in crisis.Collectively, they have a maintenance backlog of more than$12bllion.Roads,trails,restrooms,visitor centers and other infrastructure are crumbling.But privatizing and commercializing the campgrounds would not be a crue-all.Campgrounds are a tiny portion of the overall infrastructure backlog,and businesses in the parks hand over,on average,only about5%of their revenues to the National Park Service.Moreover,increased privatization would certainly undercut one of the major reasons why 300million visitors come to the parks each year:to enjoy nature and get a break from the commercial drumbeat that overwhelms daily life.The real problem is that the parks have been chronically starved of funding.An economic survey of700U.S.taxpayers foundthat people would be willing to pay a significant amount of money to make sure the parks and their programs are kept intact.Some81%ofrespondentsaid they would be willing to pay addítional taxes for the next10years to avoid anycuts to the national parks.The natiopal parks provide greaf yaluejto U.S.residents both as places to escape and assymbols of nature.On top of this,they produce value from their extensive educational programs, their positive impact on the climate through carbon sequestration,their contribution to our cultural and artistic life,and of course through tourism.The parks also help keep America's past alive, working with thousands of local jurisdictions around the country to protect historical sites and to bring the stories of these places to life.The parks do all this on a shoestring.Congress allocates only3bilion a year to the national park system—an amount that has been flat since2001(in inflation-adusted dollars)with the exception of a onetime boost in2009.Meanwhile,the number of annual visitors has increased more than50%since1980,and now stands at330million visitors per year.26.What problem are US national parks faced with?A.Decline of business profitsB.Inadequate commercializationck of

Sparrow.In2011,Sparrow led a study in which participants were asked to record40factoids in a computer("an ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain,"for example).Half of the participants were told the information would be erased,while the other half were told it would be saved.Guess what?The latter group made no effort to recall the information when quizzed on it later,because they knew they could find it on their computers.In the same study,a group was asked to remember both the information and the folders it was stored in.They didn't remember the information,but they remembered how to find the folders.In other words,human memory is not deteriorating but"adapting to new communications technology,"Sparrow says.In a very practical way,the Internet is becoming an external hard drive for our memories,a process known as"cognitive offloading."Traditionally,this role was fulfilled by data banks, libraries,and other humans.Your father may never remember birthdays because your mother does, for instance.Some worry that this is having a destructive effect on society but Sparrow sees an upside.Perhaps,she suggests,the trend will change our approach to learning from a focus on individual facts and memorization to an emphasis on more conceptual thinking-something that is not available on the Internet.“I personally have never seen all that much intellectual value in memorizing things,"Sparrow says,adding that we haven't lost our ability to do it.Still other experts say it's too soon to understand how the Internet affects our brains.There is no experimental evidence showing that it interferes with our ability to focus,for instance,wrote psychologists Christopher Chabris and Daniel J.Simons.And surfing the web exercised the brain more than reading did among computer-savvy older adults in a2008study involving24 participants at the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at the University of California,Los Angeles."There may be costs associated with our increased reliance on the Internet,but I'd have to imagine that overall the benefits are going to outweigh those costs,"observes psychology professor Benjamin Storm."It seems pretty clear that memory is changing,but is it changing for the better? At this point,we don't know."31.Sparrow’s study shows that with the Internet,the human brain willA.analyze information in detailB.collect information efficientlyC.switch its focus of memoryD.extend its memory duration32.The process of“cognitive offloading”A.helps us identify false informationB.keeps our memory from failingC.enables us to classify trivial factsD.lessens our memory burdens33.Which of the following would Sparrow support about the Internet?A.It may reform our learning approachB.It may impact our society negativelyC.It may enhance our adaptability to technologyD.It may interfere with our conceptual thinking34.It is indicated in Para3that how the Internet affects our brains?A.requires further academic researchB.is most studies in older adultsC.is reflected in our reading speedD.depends on our web-surfing habits35.Neither Sparrow nor Storm would agree thatA.our reliance on the Internet will be costlyB.the Internet is weakening our memoryC.memory exercise is a must for our brainD.our ability to focus declines with ageText4Teenagers are paradoxical.That’s a mild and detached way of saying something that parents often express with considerably stronger language.But the paradox is scientific as well as personal.In adolescence,helpless and dependent children who have relied on grown-ups for just about everything become independent people who can take care of themselves and help each other. At the same time,once cheerful and compliant children become rebellious teenage risk-takers.A new study published in the journal Child Development by Eveline Crone of the University of Lerden and colleagues,suggests that the positive and negative sides of teenagers go hand in hard.The study is part of a new wave of thinking about adolescence.For a long time, scientists and policy markers concentrated on the idea that teenagers were a problem needed to be solved.The new work emphasizes that adolescence is a time of opportunity as well as risk.The researchers studied"prosocial"and rebellious traits in more than200child and young adults,ranging from11to28years old.The participants filled out questions about how often they did things that were altruistic and positive,like sacrificing their own interests to help a friend or rebellious and negative,like getting drunk or staying out late.Other studies have shown that rebellious behavior increased as you become a teenager and then fades away as you grow older.But the new study shows that,interestingly,the same pattern holds for prosocial behavior.Teenagers were more likely than younger children or adults to report that they did things like selfishly help a friend.Most significantly,there was a positive correlation between prosociality and rebelliousness. The teenagers who were more rebellious were also more likely to help others.The good and bad sides of adolescence seem to develop together.Is there some common factor that underlies these apparently contradictory developments? One idea is that teenager behavior is related to what researchers call”reward sensitivity." Decision-making always involves balancing rewards and risks,benefits and costs“Reward sensitivity”'measures how much reward it takes to outweigh risk.Teenagers are particularly sensitive to social rewards-winning the game,impressing a new friend,getting that boy to notice you.Reward sensitivity,like prosocial behavior and risk-taking, seems to go up in adolescence and then down again as we age.Somehow,when you hit30,the chance that something exciting and new will happen at that party just doesn’t seem to outweigh the effort of getting up off the conch.36.According to Paragraph1,children growing into adolescence tend to AA.develop opposite personality traitsB.see the world in an unreasonable wayC.have fond memories of their pastD.show attention for their parents37.It can be learned form Paragraph2that Crone’s study CA.explores teenagers’social responsibilitiesB.examines teenagers’emotional problemsC.provides a new insight into adolescenceD.highlights negative adolescent behavior38.What does Crone’s study find about prosocial behavior D?A.It results from the wish to cooperateB.It is cultivated through educationC.It is subject to family influenceD.It tends to peak in adolescence39.It can be learned from the last two paragraph that teenagers B.A.overstress their influence on othersB.care a lot about social recognitionC.become anxious about their futureD.endeavor to live a joyful life40.what is the text mainly about?AA.why teenagers are self-contradictoryB.why teenagers are risk-sensitiveC.How teenagers develop prosocialityD.How teenagers become independentPart BNew building regulations aimed at improving energy efficiency are set to increase the price of new homes,as well as those of extensions and loft conversions on existing ones.The rules,which came into effect on Wednesday in England,are part of government plans to reduce the UK’s carbon emissions to net zero by2050.They set new standards for ventilation, energy efficiency and heating,and state that new residential buildings must have charging points for electric vehicles.The moves are the most significant change to building regulations in years,and industryexperts say they will inevitably lead to higher prices at a time when a shortage of materials and high labour costs is already driving up bills.Brian Berry,chief executive of the Federation of Master Builders,a trade group for small and medium-sized builders,says the measures will require new materials,testing methods,products and systems to be installed.“All this comes at an increased cost during a time when prices are already sky high.Inevitably,consumers will have to pay more,”he says.Gareth Belsham,of surveyors Naismiths,says people who are upgrading,or extending their home,will be directly affected.“The biggest changes relate to heating and insulation,”he says.“There are new rules concerning the amount of glazing used in extensions,and any new windows or doors must be highly insulated.”The changes could mean an extra£3,000added to the bill of an average home extension, according to Jonathan Rolande of the National Association of Property Buyers,a group of professionals aimed at raising construction standards.Homeowners extending may see the amount of space they have decrease,as walls will have to be thicker in order to comply with requirements for better insulation.Andrew Mellor,of PRP architects,says external walls will need to be about7cm thicker than previously.Windows and doors will have to adhere to higher standards,while there are new limits on the amount of glazing you can have to reduce unwanted heat from the sun.Thomas Goodman,of MyJobQuote,a site which sources quotes,says this will bring in new restrictions for extensions.“Glazing on windows,doors and rooflights must cover no more than25%of the floor area to prevent heat loss,”he says.As properties become more airtight,there are also measures to ensure proper airflow,such as having small openings(trickle vents)on windows that allow ventilation when a window is closed.For people extending their homes,they may be required to install a new,or replacement, heating system depending on the size of the build,says Belsham.These will have to use lower temperature water to deliver the same heat,which will require increased insulation of pipes.“We’ll see more insulation,better lighting design and restrictions on the amount of glass used in some areas.But with more thermal-efficient homes can come the risk of overheating due to solar gain,and so ventilation is also covered,”says Rolande.“As a result,double-glazed windows will require trickle vents to let heat escape and also to provide fresh air for health reasons and,of course,to reduce the risk of condensation build up in an ever-more airtight property.”As the rules came into effect last Wednesday,property developers were rushing to file plans just before the deadline,according to Belsham.Any plans submitted before that date are considered to be under the previous rules,and can go ahead as long as work starts before15June next year.Builders which have costed projects,but have not filed the paperwork,may need to go back and submit fresh estimates,says Marcus Jefford of Build Aviator,which prices projects.As the changes are aimed to make homes more energy efficient,they will eventually drive down heating bills.But in the short-term homeowners are likely to face higher costs for work.Materials prices are already up25%in the last two years,according to figures from theConstruction Products Association.How much overall prices will increase as a result of the rule changes is not clear.“While admirable in their intentions,they will add to the cost of housebuilding at a time when many already feel that they are priced out of homeownership,”says Rolande.“An average extension will probably see around£3,000additional cost thanks to the new regs.”John Kelly,a construction lawyer at Freeths law firm,believes prices will eventually come down.But not in the immediate future.“As the marketplace adapts to the new requirements,and the technologies that support them,the scaling up of these technologies will eventually bring costs down,but in the short term,we will all have to pay the price of the necessary transition,”he says.However,the long-term effects of the changes will be more comfortable and energy-efficient homes,adds Mellor.“Homeowners will probably recoup that cost over time in energy bill savings. It will obviously be very volatile at the moment,but they will have that benefit over time.”In the future,there will be increased competition between companies to supply insulation technology,says Belsham,which should result in lower prices.Failing to follow building regulations could result in prosecution.Local authorities have the power to serve an enforcement notice forcing the owner to alter,or remove,the contravening work.The measures are part of government plans to reduce carbon emissions as part of its bid to make the UK net zero st week’s rule changes apply to England.Scotland and Wales brought in similar changes recently.A.The rise of house price is a temporary matter.B.Builders possibly need to submit new estimates of their projects.C.There will be specific limit on home extensions to prevent heat loss.D.D.The new rules will take home prices to an even higher level.E.Many people feel that home prices are already beyond what they can afford.F.The new rules will affect people whose home extensions include new windows anddoors.G.The rule changes will benefit homeowners eventually.41.Brian Berry42.Gareth Belsham43.Marcus Jefford44.John Kelly45.Andrew Mellor46.41-45答案：D FBAGTranslationIn the late18th century,William Wordsworth became famous for his poem about nature.And he was one of the founders of a movement called Romanticism,which celebrated the wonders of natural world.Poetry is powerful.Its energy and rhythm can capture a reader,transport them to anotherworld and make them see things differently.Through carefully selected words and phrases,poems can be dramatic,funny,moving and inspiring.No one knows for sure when poetry began but it has been around for thousands of years,even before people could write.It was a way to tell stories and pass down history.It is closely related to song and even when written it is usually created to be performed out loud.Poems really come to life when they are cited.This can also help with understanding them too,because the rhythm and sounds of the words become clearer.18世纪晚期，威廉·华兹华斯因其关于自然的诗而闻名。
