UR Essentials to Provide Textbooks for Free
Program Overview and Implementation
The University of Rochester will introduce UR Essentials in Fall 2025, an integrated textbook program providing undergraduate students with all required course materials as part of standard tuition. This initiative enables students to rent materials from any publisher through Barnes & Noble. Following course registration, the bookstore receives class lists and begins preparing materials. One month before classes begin, students receive email notification to select between in-store pickup or direct shipping. Digital materials are delivered via Blackboard.
Enrollment and Participation Terms
All undergraduate students are automatically enrolled in UR Essentials, though they maintain the option to voluntarily opt out. Importantly, opting out does not reduce associated fees, as program costs are included in the comprehensive tuition structure. This approach ensures universal access while maintaining administrative efficiency across the student body.
Material Management and Exchange Guidelines
The program includes textbooks, e-textbooks, manuals, and access codes, while clearly excluding single-use items such as lab goggles, dissection kits, molecular model kits, engineering kits, and nursing kits. A critical operational detail involves course changes: if students decide to drop a class and have already picked up their materials, they should return those materials within 48 hours. Barnes & Noble will swap out the old materials for new ones for any switched classes, ensuring continuous access to appropriate resources.
End-of-Semester Options
All rented textbooks must be returned before the final day of examinations each semester, regardless of individual course duration. For students wishing to retain their materials permanently, the program provides a purchase option at reduced price points upon semester completion.
1. What items are NOT covered by the UR Essentials program
A. Manuals and access codes.
B. Textbooks and e-textbooks.
C. Materials from any publisher.
D. Lab goggles and dissection kits.
2. What should a student do if dropping a course after getting materials
A. Pay a fine.
B. Get a partial refund.
C. Keep materials for later.
D. Return materials promptly.
3. Where is this text most probably taken from
A. A financial aid application.
B. A publisher's sales contract.
C. A university student handbook.
D. A Barnes & Noble advertisement.
B
At 74, Qian Sijin still walks the long corridors of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) with the curiosity of a young scientist and the quiet dedication of a lifelong teacher.
Most of his days are filled with complex research and data analysis. But beyond his primary role as a nuclear physicist, Qian has embraced another calling: sharing the wonder of fundamental physics with the world.
This profound commitment is realized in his new book, What Is the Nature of the Material World, a project co-authored with the Lumibay online education platform. The book serves as an accessible guide, skillfully translating the complexity of particle physics and quantum theory into engaging and clear language. It traces the scientific journey of discovery, starting from the early guesses of ancient Greek atomic philosophy to the development of the modern Standard Model, which forms the foundational framework of our current understanding.
Qian’s own path into the world of science was significantly shaped by his family background; his parents were themselves pioneers in China’s nuclear research sector. He began his long-standing association with CERN in 1988 and later also served as a professor at Peking University. A defining moment in his distinguished career came in 2012 when he contributed to the monumental discovery of the Higgs boson. This major breakthrough confirmed a key prediction of the Standard Model and stands as evidence to decades of collaborative effort. Qian strongly emphasizes that such landmark achievements are only possible through immense international cooperation, surpassing national, linguistic, and cultural boundaries.
He often reflects on the vastness of our ignorance, noting that the visible matter we understand constitutes a mere 5% of the universe. It is this immense unknown, Qian asserts, that fuels our collective curiosity and drives scientific exploration forward. His message to ambitious minds is both simple and profound: “Find your passion. Follow your curiosity and use it to make the world a little better.”
4. What is the key purpose of Qian Sijin’s book
A To document his own career path.
B. To make physics accessible to all.
C. To serve as a guide for physics researchers.
D. To highlight the need for international collaboration.
5. According to Qian, what is the essential factor for achieving major scientific breakthroughs
A. The extensive collaboration across the world.
B. The persistent individual efforts over decades.
C. The advancement beyond existing cultural boundaries.
D. The confirmation of key predictions in theoretical models.
6. What is Qian’s fundamental belief about science
A. Ignorance drives exploration.
B. Its goal is to explain everything.
C. It depends solely on brilliant minds.
D. It must focus on the understood matter.
7. Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. Qian Sijin: From a Pioneer’s Son to a CERN Physicist
B. The Higgs Boson: Unveiling the Mystery of the Universe
C. The Standard Model: The Foundation of Modern Particle Physics
D. A Lifelong Passion: Qian Sijin’s Journey in Science and Education
C
In our modern world, there are endless alternatives. Therefore, it’s difficult to choose an opportunity that is right for you. Finding out the opportunity cost is a simple and practical method. When you understand opportunity cost, you have the power to measure every alternative with precision and make the right decisions.
What is Opportunity Cost
One of the key principles of economics is that there is no such thing as a free lunch. Opportunity cost is the value that you have to forgo when you choose an option over another good option. Most people overlook opportunity costs because the benefits are usually hidden from view.
The true cost of any decision is what you give up to obtain it. Here is a simple opportunity cost example: Your boss gives you $600 as a thank-you gift. You can either go for a vacation or attend a seminar to develop new skills. You choose to attend the seminar. In this situation, the opportunity cost is the vacation.
_________
As you have seen, most situations in life revolve around opportunity cost. Every time you make a choice, you automatically lose other alternatives that you could have chosen. This is how you create priorities that influence your decision-making process.
Opportunity cost does not always revolve around money. There are costs to things that have no physical price. For example, Netflix doesn’t cost you $15.49 — it actually costs your time; social media isn’t free — it costs your focus; and a fast-food combo meal doesn’t just cost you $7.99 — it costs your health.
Conclusion
As you have seen, every action you’ll take has an opportunity cost. You should always compare every economic opportunity and choose the option with the minimal costs.
Opportunities can have similar costs due to emotional or personal reasons. In such instances, having a clear attitude will help you make the right decisions and boost your productivity.
8. What does the underlined word “forgo” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Obtain. B. Discover. C. Abandon. D. Overestimate.
9. What is the opportunity cost involving a $600 gift according to the text
A. The gratitude from your boss.
B. The vacation you did not take.
C. The time invested in learning.
D The money spent on the seminar.
10. Why does the author mention Netflix, social media, and fast food
A. To compare the different prices of these items.
B. To suggest that we should stop using these services.
C. To prove that the real cost of these items is lower than their price.
D. To show that opportunity cost often involves non-financial sacrifices.
11. Which of the following sentences is the most suitable to fill in the blank
A. How to Apply This Concept
B. When to Use Opportunity Cost
C. Why Understand Opportunity Cost
D. What is the Principle of This Concept
D
The robot, shaped like a soup can with a rounded body, stands on a wearer’s shoulder like a parrot. It can speak fluent Anishinaabemowin, an Indigenous (土著的) language spoken by the Anishinaabe nation of North America. Danielle Boyer, a 24-year-old Anishinaabe roboticist, created the “Skobot” to communicate in endangered Indigenous languages. By enabling young speakers to practice with an engaging partner, she aims to keep these languages alive despite the growing dominance of English.
New AI technologies are revolutionizing the way we approach language preservation. Most AI translation systems require vast training data for accuracy, and models for high-resource languages like English and Spanish are typically trained on millions of parallel sentence pairs. However, Indigenous languages often have little public data, posing significant challenges for standard translation methods. To address this, Jared Coleman, a computer scientist at Loyola Marymount University, developed a tool that instructs a large language model in the grammar and vocabulary of a target language, ensuring grammatical accuracy in the output sentences.
Since different communities have different cultural traditions training AI models on material in Indigenous languages, particularly ancestral stories and folk tales, can lead to unintended consequences. As Coleman explained, certain stories are traditionally told only during the wintertime in his community. “How do you maintain that tradition if it’s available online ” he says. In other words, AI models do not understand cultural nuance (细微差别). If they are not trained appropriately, they can mishandle sensitive cultural information.
Indigenous researchers are undertaking AI language preservation initiatives to promote greater accessibility and diversity at the forefront of technological innovation. As researchers Uma Pradhan and Joyeeta Dey have explained, AI language preservation helps address historical injustice for communities previously discouraged or even prohibited from speaking their native tongues. These initiatives not only support language revitalization (复兴) by increasing the number of speakers but also emphasize the cultural significance of these languages within technological spaces long dominated by English, Mandarin Chinese and a handful of other global languages.
12. What is the function of the first paragraph
A. To criticize the limits of robot technology.
B. To detail the Anishinaabe language history.
C. To analyze language revitalization challenges.
D. To introduce the topic with a specific example.
13. What is a major challenge in using AI for Indigenous language translation
A. Lack of public data for training.
B. High cost of developing AI models.
C. Resistance from Indigenous communities.
D. Complexity of English and Spanish grammar.
14. Why does Jared Coleman mention the tradition of telling stories only in winter
A. To argue that stories should not be told online.
B. To show that AI can help record seasonal activities.
C. To explain how AI models learn from seasonal data.
D. To illustrate the risk of AI ignoring cultural nuances.
15. What is the main purpose of AI language preservation initiatives
A. To revive languages and address historical injustice.
B. To boost AI-driven creativity and language diversity.
C. To scale down the use of English and Mandarin tongues.
D. To make AI translation systems more accurate and reliable.

Reuse: The Quiet Engine of a Circular Economy
Reuse is fast becoming the backbone of circular economics. By keeping products in use longer — before they are recycled or re-manufactured — it delivers social wins that statistics rarely capture.
A 2023 Suez UK report predicts that, by 2028, reuse organizations could handle over 15 million items annually. ___16___. Their findings show that reuse is no longer just “nice to have”; it is a multidimensional tool for public good.
____17____
By offering high-quality reused items at low prices, reuse organizations directly relieve financial strain on households, particularly those struggling with the rising cost of living. This access to affordable goods enhances living standards and reduces economic inequality.
New jobs in the repair and reuse economy
Every sofa rescued needs a repair bench, a delivery van and a sales floor. ____18____. Local colleges in Brighton already run short courses funded by reuse centers, turning redundant (冗余的) retail workers into certified technicians.
Lower unemployment with used devices
____19____. Once equipped, the unemployed can enroll in online courses, apply for vacancies or even start micro-businesses — closing the loop (环) between social inclusion and economic growth.
Greater capture of rare earth metals
Taking apart end-of-life products for reuse recovers valuable rare-earth metals, cutting environmentally damaging mining and boosting resource security. ____20____. By extending product life, reuse reduces new manufacturing, lowering carbon emissions and combating climate change.
A. Reduced bills for residents
B Fewer new product purchases
C. Online courses provide positions for the jobless
D. It also reduces the carbon footprint of production
E. Second-hand laptops remove the first employment barrier

The Unlikely Friendship
In the Oakwood High School, two students couldn’t be more different. Emma, the leader of the Student Union, was full of confidence and chatter. Leo, a dedicated member of the science club, was quiet and preferred the company of books to people. Although they studied in the same class, their paths seldom crossed until they were paired for the annual school project on “Community Heroes.”
This project required the two members of each group to conduct an investigation according to the project’s research guidelines. Based on the research results, they selected “Community Heroes” who made outstanding contributions to the community. Finally, they were asked to make slides (幻灯片) or posters to present their findings to the class. The guidelines specified that all work must be completed through collaboration.
Initially, their collaboration was filled with awkward silences and polite, distant exchanges. Emma loved brainstorming out loud, while Leo would retreat into his shell, offering only brief nods or corrections. The tension peaked during their first library session when Emma’s enthusiastic ideas about interviewing local firefighters met with Leo’s cautious reminder about the project’s strict research guidelines. “You’re missing the point of the human story,” Emma argued. “Without solid data, the story has no backbone,” Leo countered, pushing his glasses up his nose.
However, a turning point came when they had to visit a local community center together. After the visit, they shared a quiet bus ride back to school. Emma, noticing Leo was anxious about missing his usual study time, offered to help him review later. Leo, in turn, admitted he admired how easily Emma connected with people at the center. They started to see value in each other’s strengths.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The day before the project presentation, disaster struck.
