Golf Centre insideNewport.B.The golf lessons can take place only in good weather.C.Teenagers can attend golf lessons on Wednesday afternoons.D.Childrens lessons usually last 2 or 3 hours on Saturday afternoons.2.Which of the following statements is true about the Citisport tennis courses?A.You can get the skills in an open-air court.B.You must take your own racket during the course.C.You can take the Monday course if you are a green hand.D.You can become an experienced player after the courses.3.Which course lasts only one day according to the text?A.Golf.B.Tennis.C.Football for girls.D.Gymnastics.B Improvements to energy efficiency,such as LED lights,are seen by many authorities as a top priority for cutting carbon emissions.Yet a growing body of research suggests that arebound effect could wipe out more than half of the savings from energy efficiency improvements,making the goals of the Paris Agreement on climate change even harder to hit.A team led by Paul Brockway at the University of Leeds,UK,looked at the existing 33 studies on the impact of the rebound effect.First comes the direct rebound:for instance,when someone buys a more efficient car,they may take advantage of that by driving it further.Then comes the indirect rebound:fuel savings leave the owner with more money to spend elsewhere in the economy,consuming energy.Although the 33 studies used different methods to model the rebound effect,they produced very consistent estimates of its impact,leading the team to conclude that the effect wipes out,on average,63 percent of the anticipated energy savings.“Were not saying energy efficiency doesnt work.What were saying is rebound needs to be taken more seriously,”says Brockway.The idea that increased efficiency may not deliver the hopedfor savingsdates back to the Jevons paradox(悖论),named after the economist William Stanley Jevons,who,in 1865,observed that more efficient coal use led to more demand for coal.If the rebound effect does prove to be as big as suggested,it means future global energy demand will be higher than expected and the world will need far more wind and solar power and carboncapture technology than is currently being planned for.But that doesnt mean nothing can be done to limit the rebound effect.One answer is to double down on energy efficiency and do twice as much to achieve the same effect.4.Which of the following is a rebound effect?A.A man uses LED lights to cut carbon emissions.B.A company uses coal more efficiently to reduce waste.C.A family saves money by using energysaving devices.D.A lady spends savings from her fuel efficient car on more clothes.5.How did Paul Brockways team carry out their research?A.By interviewing economists.B.By analyzing former studies.C.By modeling the rebound effect.D.By debating about the Jevons paradox.6.What would Paul Brockway probably agree with?A.Authorities should dismiss energy efficiency.B.Worldwide efforts to preserve energy are in vain.C.The rebound effect helps protect the environment.D.More attention should be paid to the rebound effect.7.Whats the authors attitude towards limiting the rebound effect?A.Positive.B.Pessimistic.C.Doubtful.D.Disapproving.C In 2015,a man named Nigel Richards memorized 386,000 words in the entireFrench Scrabble Dictionaryin just nine weeks.However,he does not speak French.Richards impressive feat is a useful example to show how artificial intelligence works real AI.Both of Richard and AI take in massive amounts of data to achieve goals with unlimited memory and superman accuracy in a certain field.The potential applications for AI are extremely exciting.Because AI canoutperformhumans at routine tasks provided the task is in one field with a lot of data it is technically capable of replacing hundreds of millions of white and blue collar jobs in the next 15 years or so.But not every job will be replaced by AI.In fact,four types of jobs are not at risk at all.First,there are creative jobs.AI needs to be given a goal to optimize.It cannot invent,like scientists,novelists and artists can.Second,the complex,strategic jobs executives,diplomats,economists go well beyond the AI limitation of single-field and Big Data.Then there are the as-yet-unknown jobs that will be created by AI.Are you worried that these three types of jobs wont employ as many people as AI will replace?Not to worry,as the fourth type is much larger:jobs where emotions are needed,such as teachers,nannies and doctors.These jobs require compassion,trust and sympathy which AI does not have.And even if AI tried to fake it,nobody would want a robot telling them they have cancer,or a robot to babysit their children.So there will still be jobs in the age of AI.The key then must be retraining the workforce so people can do them.This must be the responsibility not just of the government,which can provide funds,but also of corporations and those who benefit most.8.What is the main purpose of paragraph 1?A.To introduce the topic.B.To mention Nigels feat.C.To stress the importance of good memory.D.To suggest humans go beyond AI in memory.9.Which of the following best explains“outperform”underlined in paragraph 2?A.Be superior to B.Be equal to C.Be similar to D.Be related to 10.Which of the following jobs is the most likely to be replaced?A.The writer.B.The shop assistant.C.The babysitter.D.The psychologist.11.What does the text suggest people do about job replacement of AI?A.Limit the application of AI to a certain degree.B.Get more support from the government.C.Apply for the donation from companies.D.Upgrade themselves all the time.D It is essential that students have a category of school-related activities they can participate in.These activities can range from activities during normal school hours to after-school activities.No matter the time,these activities should be available to every student,and at Victory Pioneers International Schools(V.P.I.S)it is encouraged that every student participate in at least one activity,educational and recreational.One of the primary reasons school activities are important at V.P.I.S.is because it gives students the exercise they might not normally receive.Most popularly,these types of activities include major sports such as football,basketball,baseball,tennis,track and field and soccer but also might include gymnasium games and other games.Activities during V.P.I.S.also make a good impression on colleges if students are planning to pursue more education.Colleges look for students who do not just go to school and go home after school.These activities range from participating in clubs and sports to volunteering after school at a recreation center or having a part-time job.If a college sees you maintained good grades while participating in these activities,it will be impressed.V.P.I.S.activities also allow students to be creative.Gifted-and-talented activities allow gifted students to participate in what they otherwise would never have experienced in the classroom.They are a great way to allow students to be creative.Additionally,participating in clubs such as drama that appeal to students interest also allows them to expand their knowledge and be creative.Students also can have their interests expanded by participating in activities.These activities could consist of anything,such as joining the Future Business Leaders,the schools debate team and the chess team,to name a few.By participating in these activities,a student might realize he is interested in something he never knew he was interested in before.12.What can we learn about activities at V.P.I.S.?A.Not every student has access to them.B.Students are required to take part in them after school.C.They give students exercise that might not be got in other schools.D.Educational activities are more popular with the students.13.What benefits can the students get from the activities?A.They can get extra grades when applying for colleges.B.They will become more gifted and talented.C.They may expand their knowledge in drama.D.They may better know their own interests.14.Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage?A.The Benefits of V.P.I.S.Activities B.School-related Activities at V.P.I.S.C.Colleges Need Creative Students D.Activities Make You Creative 15.Where is the passage probably from?A.A scientific magazine.B.A college application guideline.C.A club introduction.D.The website of V.P.I.S.第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2
