Dear editor,
As a senior student at Mingqi High School, I wholeheartedly support setting every
Wednesday as a "No Homework Day" for us seniors.
Firstly, the academic workload we face is overwhelming. Between coursework, assignments
and exam preparations, a weekly break would give us a much-needed chance to recharge and
return to our studies with fresh energy.
Secondly, the free time could be used wisely. We could engage in sports or hobbies that
foster personal growth, which would in turn boost our motivation and focus for the rest of the
week.
Moreover, this measure reflects the school's concern for our well-being, sending the message
that our mental health is valued.
In conclusion, a weekly 'No Homework Day' is a worthwhile measure. It will create a
healthier learning environment, and I sincerely hope the school will adopt it.
Yours sincerely,

grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of
the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
Adventure Abroad
Four students from National University have recently returned from Africa, 1 they
participated in development projects with local residents in rural areas. For 10 weeks, these young
people worked in Zimbabwe and Botswana as members of a program called Raleigh International.
Raleigh International, which 2 (found) in 1984, gives young people a chance to do volunteer
work while experiencing other countries and their cultures. The program, named 3 the
explorer Sir Walter Raleigh, encourages young people to help others and work in difficult settings.
More than 30,000 students from a variety of cultures and backgrounds have volunteered in 4
total of 40 countries.
Marisa Silvestri, 20, a business major, traveled to Zimbabwe to work with a group in the
Mavuradonha Wilderness Area. Their first project was helping farmers build electric fences to
protect their crops from 5 (destroy) by elephants. When elephants entered the village one
night, the students joined with farmers 6 (drive) them away and preserve the fields.
Silvestri's group also constructed small cottages for tourists to stay in, 7 (build) in the local
style. Saeed Mohammed, also 20 and an engineering major, joined another group in Zimbabwe.
His group carried out a survey of health problems in several villages and taught children
about good health habits. 8 impressed Saeed was that the kids were so curious about the
Raleigh International students that after the health lessons, they asked them questions about
"everything else under the sun". Saeed's group also worked to build foot trails (小径) through the
forest. While they were out working in the bush, a fire 9 (break) out, destroying eight
kilometers of forest. The students fought to bring the fire under control, sleeping only 45 minutes
during the two days. In Botswana, two 19-year-old students, Lakeishia Young and David Min,
helped to build a clinic and a meeting hall in a small village. 10 they didn't face angry
elephants, they said the building work was much harder than they expected. "It was a great
learning experience," Young said.

Science Large and Small
Every year on the website Edge, scientists and other thinkers reply to one question. This year
it's "What do you consider the most interesting recent news in science " The answers are 11 .
We're used to thinking of news as the events that happen in a city or country within a few weeks
or months. But scientists expand our 12 to the unimaginably large and small. Here is just a
bit of the scientific news. Our old familiar solar system has turned out to be full of surprises.
Unmanned spacecraft have discovered that the planets 13 us are more puzzling, peculiar and
dynamic than we would ever have thought.
On our own planet, the big 14 news is that the effects of carbon on climate change are
ever more evident and 15 . The ice sheets are melting, sea levels are rising, and last year was
almost certainly the warmest on record. Our human response is 16 slow in contrast. The
news about our particular human bodies and their ills is especially interesting. The idea that tiny
invisible organisms make us sick was one of the great achievements of the scientific expansion of
scale. But new machines that 17 the genetic signature of bacteria have shown that those
invisible germs--the "microbiome"--aren't really the enemy.
In fact, they're essential to keeping us well, and the great lifesaving advance of antibiotics (抗
生素) comes with a cost. If new technology is helping us to understand and 18 the human
body, it is also expanding the scope of the human mind. We've seen lots of media 19 about
artificial intelligence over the past year, but the basic algorithms (算法) are not really new. The
news is the amount of data and computational power that is available. Still, even if those advances
are just about increases in data and computing power, they could deeply change how we 20
with the world.
II. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B,
C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Curiosity feels as if it's outside your control. Trying to direct it sounds as 21 as forcing
yourself to find a joke funny. But if you understand what 22 curiosity, you may be able to
channel it a little better. Across evolutionary time, curious animals were more likely to survive
because they learned about their environments; a forager (觅食者) that occasionally 23 a
reliable feeding ground to explore might find an even better place to eat. Humans, too, will give
up a known reward to 24 the unknown. In one experiment, subjects were asked to choose
one of four photos, each carrying some chance of paying a cash prize.
Photos repeated, so subjects learned to pick the best-paying, but when a novel photo popped
up, they chose it more often than the odds suggested they should. This 25 for novelty is, of
course, the reason manufacturers periodically change product packaging and advertising. But it's
good to know about your environment even if it doesn't promise a reward. 26 knowledge
may be useless today but vital next week. 27 , evolution has left us with a brain that can
reward itself; satisfying curiosity feels pleasurable, so you explore the environment even when
you don't expect any real 28 . Infants prefer to look at novel pictures compared with familiar
ones.
Preschoolers play longer with a mechanical toy if it's 29 to figure out how it works.
What's more, curiosity doesn't just 30 new opportunities for learning; it enhances learning
itself. In a recent experiment, subjects read trivia (益智的) questions and rated how curious each
made them feel. Later, they saw the questions again, each followed by a photograph of a face, and
judged whether that person looked as if he or she would know the answer. In a surprise final
memory test for the faces, subjects better 31 those appearing after trivia questions that made
them curious. Curiosity causes a brain state that enhances learning.
This function of curiosity—to 32 memory—is the key to understanding why we're
curious about some things and not others. We feel most curious when exploration will 33 the
most learning. Suppose I ask you, "What's the most common type of star in the Milky Way "
You'll obviously feel no curiosity if you already know the answer. But you'll also feel little interest
if you know nothing about stars; if you learned the answer, you couldn't 34 it to other
knowledge, so it would seem nearly pointless. We're 35 curious when we sense that the
environment offers new information in the right proportion to add to what we already know.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or
unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the
one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
（A）
In Auckland, the largest city in New Zealand, public-transport fares have been cut in half. In
London, politicians leave passive-aggressive notes on civil servants' desks telling them to turn up
for work and beg people to start going back to the office. Eric Adams, the mayor of New York,
has asked bank bosses to set an example by riding the subway. None of it seems to be working.
The subway is only two-thirds as busy as it was before covid-19. Auckland's bus system was half
as busy in April as it was three years earlier. People have not given up public transport for the
private kind.
They are simply moving around less. Although travel is likely to recover a little further, a
return to the pre-pandemic pattern seems impossible. One clue is that not all journeys have
declined. Parisians made more shopping trips last summer than they did before covid appeared. In
New York, Sunday travel has held up better than weekday travel. What has collapsed is rush-hour
commuting, particularly among well-paid workers in the knowledge economy. That suggests the
change in behaviour is caused not by fear of infection--which might be expected to diminish over
time--but by a fundamental resetting of work habits.
Rich countries should accept this new reality, and start building transport systems to match.
Big cities, in particular, are rooted in the idea that urban travel is like an asterisk, with people
squeezing onto radial (放射状) roads and railway lines. Travel is now more like a spiderweb.
People take fewer, often shorter journeys along thinner routes; they move to the side, as well as in
and out. That explains why buses, which are often used for short journeys, have emptied out less
drastically than commuter trains (通勤列车).
Now that people travel less predictably, there is a stronger case for innovations such as
on-demand buses and "mobility as a service" which weaves together public transport and personal
modes such as taxis and hired bikes. These make better use of the existing infrastructure, and
come closer to the convenience of cars. British cities need to do something more basic, by
integrating their public-transport networks. Outside London, they tend to have many bus
companies, some railway lines and perhaps a tram system, all doing their own thing. The result is
confusion and often greater cost for the public.
36. Paragraph 1 is intended to
A. publicize the public transport in major cities
B. reveal the trouble the public transport faces
C. introduce the ways to save the public transport
D. compare the effectiveness of different measures
37. Why is public transport used less than before
A. People prefer to drive to their workplaces.
B. People are losing interest in travelling around.
C. People are fearful of getting infected with the virus.
D. People have basically changed their working habits.
38. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true
A. People commute by bus more often than before.
B. The travel industry has recovered from the pandemic.
C. The public transport is not as busy as it used to be during rush hours.
D. The knowledge economy has changed the way people commute to work.
39. What is the passage mainly intended to do
A. To analyse the impacts of Covid-19 on global transport.
B. To describe the current situation of the public transport in big cities.
C. To urge big cities to adjust their public systems to the new reality.
D. To find out the ways to attract more people to use public transport.
（B）
Trains powered by human waste and deserted food will be introduced to Britain's railway for
the first time under plans to eliminate dirty diesel (柴油机) engines gradually. A full-size
"BioUltra" train capable of carrying 120 passengers is being developed as part of
government-backed proposals to cut air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. The lightweight,
low-cost train will be fuelled using biomethane--a renewable gas made from organic
waste--combined with a battery pack. It will run on existing lines but cause less damage to tracks
because of the light frame, cutting maintenance bills.
The BioUltra train is being developed by Ultra Light Rail Partners, a group of experts from
the rail industry and Birmingham City University. The group has developed a 10-metre long,
12-tonne "mini-train" capable of carrying up to 60 people. It has been awarded a 60,000 grant
from Innovate UK, the government agency, for a feasibility study into a full-size version. The new
railcar will be 20 metres long with space for 62 passengers seated and 58 standing. It will weigh
20 tonnes without passengers, less than half that of a normal diesel. It will be propelled using
locally produced biomethane, which is generated from waste from humans, pigs, and cows as well
as plants and deserted food.
It produces no nitrogen dioxide, the poisonous gas emitted from diesel engines, and results in
a net reduction of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The biomethane tanks beneath the middle of
the railcar will power two 0.9-litre engines--each smaller than that on a typical car--at either end.
Despite the fuel, it produces no smell or dangerous emissions, improving the experience of
passengers and lineside residents. It will be almost silent and about three times as efficient as
diesel. The train will have a top speed of 50mph and a range of 2,000 miles on a full tank.
40. Which of the following statements is true of a full-size "BioUltra" train
A. It is 10 metres long and weighs 12 tonnes.
B. It can carry more passengers than a regular train.
C. It can run faster and farther than its earlier version.
D. It is fueled by biomethane made from organic waste.
41. Compared with a normal diesel train, the full-size "BioUltra" train is ________.
A. much heavier in weight
B. less than half its weight
C. more expensive to maintain
D. three times slower in speed
42. What is the passage mainly about
A. A renewable gas.
B. An eco-friendly train.
C. An original means of transport.
D. A newly-built railway.
（C）
Waymo has been testing so frequently in our neighborhood that we say "see you tomorrow"
to the white minivan outfitted with sensors and computers. The fact that the robot is driving,
however, is no surprise anymore. This is the reality my daughter has been born into. Already
Waymo vehicles are in motion in San Francisco, which is set to be the first major city with a
driverless ride-hailing (打车服务) service. Yet doubts remain. It's not so much the technology.
When I arranged for Waymo to pick up my family for a 20-minute test ride, the robot made no
obvious mistakes. And in the "trial driverless" ride-hailing service Waymo has been operating for
more than two years in Phoenix, it has yet to be involved in any major incidents.
No, the reason these services aren't widely available is mostly to do with the absence of a
clear business model. Back in 2014, Travis Kalanick, then-CEO of Uber, said the prospect of
driverless cars posed an existential challenge to Uber. Human drivers account for two-thirds of the
cost of an Uber journey, he reasoned, so "when there is no other human in the car, the cost of
taking an Uber anywhere is cheaper". Since then, it's become clear that the economics are more
complex. What made Uber so disruptive is the gig (零工) economy.
The app serves nearly 100 million people each month in more than 10,000 cities, without
Uber owning a single car. Its drivers are contractors, so it only pays them when they are carrying
passengers. If the driver is waiting around at the airport, say, it's not Uber's problem. It has
sophisticated software to match riders with drivers, and to do it quickly. The driverless industry
throws away these advantages. Instead of hiring drivers on the cheap, Waymo needs to build or
purchase vehicles costing some $200,000 apiece. Own too many cars and they are wasting capital.
Too few and they'll be frustrating passengers with lengthy wait times.
A driver also plays the role of conductor, ensuring the car is fueled and avoiding illegal
activity. Driverless cars will have to be serviced and monitored to do the same thing. "Driverless
does not mean humanless," says Ashley Nunes, a researcher at MIT. His work on the subject has
concluded that robotaxis can't compete with the gig economy on price. "Robotaxis replace one set
of human costs, the human driver, with another, inefficiency," he adds. When robotaxis finally
open to the public in San Francisco, they risk becoming a gimmick (噱头). Fun to try, sure, but
they'll cost the same as an Uber, arrive no faster and decline to speed up when you're in a rush.
43. What does the writer think of the technology of Waymo vehicles
A. Reliable.
B. Imperfect.
C. Expensive.
D. Mysterious.
44. According to Travis Kalanick, driverless cars .
A. would be more and more complex
B. would lack a clear business model
C. would gain market share at the expense of Uber
D. would fail to win over Uber in ride-hailing services
45. Which of the following is one of "these advantages" (paragraph 3)
A. Uber serves nearly 100 million people each month.
B. Uber allows its drivers to wait around at the airport.
C. Uber has a sophisticated software to manage its drivers.
D. Uber pays drivers only when they are carrying passengers.
46. Which of the following statements is the writer most likely to agree with
A. The public in San Francisco don't want to try robotaxis.
B. It is the gig economy that makes robotaxis lose their appeal.
C. Robotaxis don't have the advantages they are thought to have.
D. Driverless vehicles can avoid illegal activity if programmed properly.
Section C
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence
can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
Full Circle Fashion
A. Making only mindful purchases, and looking for ways to recycle my clothes makes me a
better consumer.
B. Its modern simplicity really appeals to me.
C. Some fibres simply do not recycle and do not decompose in landfill at the end of their
usefulness.
D. It switches the make-wear-and-dispose cycle of fashion into a circular one.
E. One of my favourites is this burnt orange lightweight, unlined wool coat.
F. I only wish I'd learned this lesson about shopping a lot sooner than I did!
Autumn's cooler temperatures and beautiful colours never cease to excite me. I love reaching
deep into my wardrobe (衣橱) and rediscovering the soft wool items that have served me well for
many years. 47 Every October, I decide it's time for it to make its yearly appearance. The
loose style allows for lots of layering, so I'm able to wear it now and throughout the colder winter
weather. It was a carefully considered purchase, and one I've not regretted for a moment. I always
find the more time and thought I put into my wardrobe investments, the better they pay off.
An item currently under consideration is this one that caught my eye last winter—a recycled
cashmere poncho (羊绒斗篷). I've tried on this long poncho a few times, and a year later, I still
love it. 48 Also the cashmere itself is superb quality. The flexibility of a long poncho makes
it even more irresistible. It would be ideal for a chilly office or aeroplane. It lies perfectly under a
loose long coat like my orange one. I love how it modernises a jumper, or blouse. It feels like a
wise investment for my wardrobe; supporting a business that facilitates sustainable fashion feels
like a wise direction of my money.
"Circular fashion", where no longer used items are re-crafted into new clothes (like this
poncho) is a new way of consuming that will be with us forever. 49 Every aspect of the
process ensures tons of clothing do not end up in landfill each year. In general, circular fashion
opts for wool, cotton, cashmere, and silk—all of which can be re-used or mixed with new natural
fibres. These materials are more expensive, but if they are used in several circular cycles of
clothing in the future, they pollute and waste less of our natural resources. 50 And innovative
circular fashion brands will soon be giving us many more incredible options.

Can Big Tech Be Contained
From the moment Alexa wakes us up in the morning, through to Google recording our every
search query, to Facebook feeding us a diet of what our friends are up to, our lives are increasingly
in the hands of just four companies: Google, Facebook, Amazon and Apple. Every day, they get to
decide what we see, hear and experience in a way that no other companies in history have before.
For example, on the average Facebook feed, there are reportedly up to 1500 things that
Facebook could show us at any one time: baby photos posted by your cousin, news articles, your
friends arguing about politics and so on. So to make this manageable, Facebook uses an algorithm
to choose what it thinks we most want to see.
We don't know in any detail how such algorithms work. In fact we can't know, as these are
the "secret sauce" that has made the platforms, like Facebook, so successful, and so powerful.
Okay, so these four companies are powerful now. So what Inevitably in the cut-throat world
of business, it's only a matter of time until another company invents a better product, and shakes
up the tech industry again, right
Not necessarily. What makes these four companies slightly different to what has come before
them, even when compared to enormous oil companies or banks, is that the tech firms are able to
take advantage of the power of "network" effects, which well protects their position.
Facebook is once again a particularly good example of this. What makes Facebook useful is
that all of your friends are there. If another company created something better than Facebook, it
would be hard for it to gain a foothold because, ultimately, everyone you know is already on
Facebook.
Sadly, there are no easy ways to make Big Tech less, well, big.
