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-ie 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 health care and construction, says Coyle. But people cant be expected to embrace the changes if thcyre not seeing the benefits - if theyre just seeing good jobs being destroyed.

In a recent interview, Coyle said she fears that techs inequality problem could be a roadblock to deploying AI. “Were 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 handful of prosperous cities.

According to the Brookings Institution, a short list of eight Amcrican cities that included San Francisco, San Jose, Boston, and Seattle had roughly 38% of all tech jobs by 2019. New AI technologies are particularlyconcentrated:Brookingss Mark Muro and Sifan Liu estimate that just 15 cities account for two-thirds of the AI assets and capabilities in the United States.

The dominance of a few cities in the invention andmercialization 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 of the solution could lie in somehow loosening the stranglehold that Big Tech has on defining the Al agenda. That will likely take increased federal funding for research independent of the tech giants.

A more immediate response is to broaden our digital imaginations to conceive of AI technologies that dont simply replace jobs but expand opportunities in the sectors that different parts of the country care most about, like health care,education, and manufacturing.

21. Coyle argues in her new book that economic growth should_____.

A. give rise to innovations

B. diversify crer choices

C. benefit people equally

D. be promoted forcefully

to Paragraph 2, digital technologies should be used to __.

A. bring about instant prosperity

B. reduce peoples workload

C. raise overall work efficiency

D. enhance cross-sector cooperation

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 unwee to the public.

24. Several American cities are mentioned to show___.

A. the uneven distribution of AI technologies in the US

B. the disappointing prospect of tech jobs in the US

C. the fast progress of US regional economies x

D. the increasing significance of US AI assets

regard to Coyles concern, the author suggests___.

A. raising funds to start new AI projects

B. encouraging collaboration in AI research

C. guarding against the side effects of AI

D. redefining the role of AI technologies

The 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 countrys reliance on timber imports and provide a stable supply of wood for future generations. Currently only 20 per cent of the UK’s wood requirement is home-grown while it remains the second-largest net importer of timber in the world.

Coming at a time of fresh incentives from the UK govemnment for landowners to grow more trees, the trade body says these dont 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 our domestic wood supply, leaving us exposed to fluctuating prices and fighting for future supplies of wood as global demand rises and our 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 use of home-grown wood in England is only around 25 per cent. The causes of the UKs current position areplex and range from outdated perceptions of productive forestry to the decimation of trees by grey squirrels. It also epasses significant hesitation on behalf of farmers and other landowners to invest in longer-term planting projects.

While productive tree planting can deliver real 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 the 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 and contribute to net zero.

“While the UK government has stated its ambition for more tree 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 the UK needs to___.

A. increase its domestic wood supply

its demand for timber

C. lower its wood production costs

its control on timber imports

27. According to Confor, the UK governments fresh incentives___.

A. can hardly address a construction crisis

B. are believed toe at a wrong time

C. seem to be misleading for landowners

D. will be too costly to put into practice

28. The UKs exposure to fluctuating wood prices is a result of___

A. the governments inaction on timber imports

investment in growing wood

petition among timber traders at home

D. wood producers’ motive to maximise profits

of the following causes the shortage of wood supply in the UK?

A. Excessive timber consumption in construction.

B. Unfavourable conditions for growing wood.

C. Outdated technologies of the wood industry.

D. Farmers’unwillingness to plant trees.

does Goodall think the UK government should do?

A. Subsidise the building of low-carbon homes.

B. Pay greater attention to boosting rural economies.

more support for productive tree planting.

D. Give priority to pursuing its net-zero strategy.

One of the biggest challenges in keeping unsafe aging drivers off the road is convincing them that its time to turn over the keys. “It’s aplete life-changer” when someone stops - or is forced to stop - driving, said former risk manager Anne M. Menke.

“The American MedicalAssociation advises physicians that ‘in situations where clear evidence of substantial driving impairment implies a strong threat to patient and public safety, and where the physicians 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.“Theres not a NationalInstitute of Older Driver Studies,"she said. “We need better evidence on what makes drivers unsafe”and what can 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 frombining the two.

Many older drivers dont see eye doctors or cant 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 cant turn their heads or remember where they are going - or have gotten shorter and havent changed their seat settings sufficiently to reach car pedals easily.

As long as there are other cars on the roads, self-driving cars wont solve the problems of crashes,said Dugan. Avoiding dangers posed by all those human drivers would require too many algorithms, she said. But we need to do more to improve safety, said Dugan. “If were going to have 100-year lives, we need cars that a 90-year-old can drivefortably.”

31. According to Paragraph 1, keeping unsafe aging drivers off the road_____.

A. is a new safety measure

B. has be a disputed issue

C. can be a tough task toplete

D. will be beneficial to their health

32. The American Medical Associations advice__.

A. has won support from drivers

B. is generally considered unrealistic

C. is widely dismissed as unnecessary

D. has met with different responses

33. 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 recognition

D. call for relevant legal support

34. Some older drivers have trouble driving because they tend to _.

A. stick with bad driving habits

B. have a weakened memory

from chronic pains

D. neglect car maintenance

35. Dugan thinks that the solution to the problems of crashes may lie in___.

A. upgrading self-driving vehicles

B. developing senior-friendly cars

transport facilities

D. adjusting the age limit for drivers

lf 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 taking advantage of this technology to keep better track of our health in some shape or form. Recent rescarch from the Organization for the Review of Care and Ilealth 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 wc 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, doctors’ offices, clinics and insurancpanics store hcalth records online. The health information these apps and health data tracking wearables are collecting typically docs not receive the same legal protections.

Without additional protections in place,panies 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 aplaint that “despite express privacy claims, thepany took control of users’sensitive fertility data and shared it with third parties.” Flo Health and the FTC settled the matter with a Consent Order requiring thepany to get app users’ express affirative consent bcfore sharing their health information as well as to instruct the third parties to 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 apanys 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 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 to the prospects for federal legislation,mentators suggest thatprehensive 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. Califoria has been at the forefront of state privacy cfforts with the Califomia 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 concem over health

popularity of smartphones

D. the advancement of technology

37. 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 insurancepanies.

38. Before sharing its users’ health information, Flo Health is required to____.

A. seek the approval of the FTC

B. find qualified third parties

irrelevant personal data

D. obtain their explicit permission

39. What challenge is the FTC currently faced with?

A. Theplexity of health information. ,

B. The rapid increase in new health apps.

C. The subtle deceptiveness of health apps.

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

encountered opposition in Califoria

D. has gained legislative support in some states

High school students eager to stand out in the college application process often participate in a litany of extracurricular activitics hoping to bolster their chances of admission to a sclective undergraduate institution.

However, college admissions experts say that the quality of a college hopefuls extracurricular activities matters more than the number of activitics he or she participates in.

Sue Rexford, the director of college guidance at the Jewish Day School, says it is not necessary for a student filling out the Common Application to list 10 activities in the application.

"No college will expect that a student has a huge laundry list of extracurriculars that they have been passionately 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 ismon among high school students than it is to stand out while doing an umon activity.

“Thepetition to stand out and make an impact is going to be much stiffer, and so if theyre going to do a popular activity, Id say, be the best at it," says Sara Harberson, a college admissions consultant.

High school students who have an impressivc personal project they are working on independently often impress colleges, experts say.

"For example, a student with an interest in entrepreneurship could demonstrate skill 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 counsclor, says unconventional extracurricularactivities can help students impress collcge admissions offices, assuming they demonstrated seriousmitment. “Again,since one of the big questions high school seniors must consider is ‘What makes you unique?, having an umon extracurricular activity vs. a conventional one is an advantage," he wrote in an email.

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 cess be a positive in the admissions process, especially for highly selective institutiong,where having top grades and test scores is not enough," Yatie Kelley, udmissicns counselor at IvyWise admissions consultancy, wrote in an email. “Studens reed to have that quality or hook that will appeal to admissions officers and allow them to visualize how the student mighte and enrich their campusmunity."

Extracurricular activities related to the college major declared on a college application are beneficial, experts suggest. “If you already know your majss,having an extracurricular 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, nonprofitmunity center.

High school students who have had a strong positive influence on theirmunity 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 executive director of the Kaleidoscope Careers Academy in Atlanta, a nonprofit organization.

With the smell of coffee and fresh bread floating in the air, stalls bursting with colorful vegetables and tempting cheeses, and the buzz of friendly chats, farmers’markets are a feast for the senses. 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, whichallow farmers or producers to sell their food directly to customers. The size or regularity of markets can vary from season to season, depending on the area’s agricultural calendar, and you’re 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.

空气中弥漫着咖啡和新鲜面包的香味，摊位上摆满了颜色鲜艳的蔬菜和诱人的奶酪，还有叽叽喳喳的友好交谈声，农贸市场就是一场感官盛宴。农贸市场还提供了一个让你与负责种植或饲养食物的人交谈、支持当地经济、购买到新鲜的时令农产品的机会——所有这一切都在同一时间进行。

农贸市场一般是每周或每月举办一次的.活动，通常设有露天摊位。这些市场允许农民或生产者直接向顾客出售食品。农贸市场的规模或周期会因季节而异，这取决于当地的农历。你很可能在一年的不同时期发现不同的农产品在出售。由于省去了中间环节，农民可以从农产品中获得更多利润。购物者也能清楚地知道自己的钱花在哪，给了谁。

1)put forward a plan and

2)ask for opinion.

You should write about 100 words on the ANSWER SHEET. Do not use your own “Li Ming”instead(10 points)

【参考范文】

Dear Jack,

I hope this email finds you well. I am writing this letter to share with you my plan for our research on the preservation of old houses.

There are two main aspects thate to mind. Firstly, we can consult relevant ancient books in the local library to understand the historical knowledge of this ancient town and obtain relevant information about the protection of buildings. Secondly, we should visit the local or surrounding residents to have a deep understanding of the current protection status of ancient buildings.

To collaborate on this project, your insights would be invaluable in shaping the survey questionnaire and determining the best approach for data collection. Could we schedule a time to discuss this further?

I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Best regards,

Li Ming
