Smart Toys that Spy on Kids
Americans are becoming more and more alert of the ways their personal information is being collected on the Internet. A recent national survey found that 72% of respondents are not sure whether Facebook is using the data it collected on them in a(n) 31 way. And 70% of respondents said they believed their smartphones are being monitored in ways they haven’t agreed to. That doubt is 32 . Concerns about personal privacy are on the rise all the time.
But adult gift-givers may not realize that some children’s toys are collecting personal data, too. Toys with cameras, mobile apps, and requirements to set up online accounts that store data about the toy and its user all 33 privacy concerns.
Toys that 34 Bluetooth connections, for example, could be sensitive to being hacked from outside the home, perhaps 35 the child to inappropriate content or gathering sensitive info. The famous car race Mario Kart Live Home Circuit installs a camera that uploads images of the room in order to create virtual racetrack. But these images of the room’s layout (布局) and the 36 in it could be exposed if the game’s website were ever hacked.
Most toy manufacturers are trying to build in protections. And the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act provides another layer of defense by requiring parents to be involed in setting up the toy and giving adults the right to have their children’s online data 37 .
The worldwide market for smart toys is expected to reach almost $70 billion in the next five years. These toys can be wonderfully 38 and even educational, such as an interactive globe that speaks to children about a country as they touch it on the map. Action figures, robots, or dolls that talk back and hold conversations can become smart 39 . Yet, in an environment where so much information can be collected through interaction with devices, children 40 to be mere “players” or “consumers”. They become “data subjects” that disclose information or “personal data” about themselves, both consciously and unconsciously. 

Ⅲ. 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.
In this world of rapid changes, everything seems to be possible. There will eventually come a day when the New York Times stops 41 stories on paper. Exactly when that day will be is a matter of debate. “Sometime in the future,” the paper’s publisher said back in 2010.
Nostalgia (怀旧) as people are for ink on paper, there are plenty of reasons to 42 print. The basic facilities required to make a 43 newspaper—printing presses, delivery trucks — isn’t just expensive. Readers are keeping away from print anyway. And though print advertisement sales still 44 their online and mobile counterparts, income from print is still declining.
Cost may be high and circulation lower but rushing to 45 its print edition would be a mistake, says BuzzFeed CEO Jonah Petretti.
Petretti says the Times shouldn’t waste time getting out of the print business, but only if they go about doing it the right way. “Figuring out a way to speed up that 46 would make sense for them,” he said, ‘‘but if you discontinue it, you’re going to have your most faithful customers really upset with you.”
Sometimes that’s well worth 47 anyway. Petretti gives the example of Netflix 48 its DVD-mailing service to focus on streaming (流媒体). “It was once seen as a(n)
49 ,” he said. The move turned out to be foresighted. “If I were in charge at the Times, I wouldn’t pick a year to 50 print,” Petretti said, “I would raise prices and make it into more of a legacy product, which has some advantage over a modern product, making it appealing for customers to keep it around.”
As a matter of fact, the most loyal customers would still get the product they 51 . The idea goes, and they’d feel like that they were helping maintain the quality of something they believe in. “So if you’re 52 print, you could feel like that you were helping,” Peretti said. “Then increase it at a higher rate each year and essentially try to generate additional 53 .” In other words, if you’re going to print product, make it for the people who are already obsessed with it, which may be what the Times is doing already. Getting the print edition seven days a week costs nearly $500 a year — more than twice as much as a digital-only 54 .
“It’s a really hard thing to do and it’s a tremendous luxury that BuzzFeed doesn’t have a legacy business,” Petretti remarked. “But we’re going to have questions like that. We’re doing things that don’t make sense when the market 55 and so does the world. In those situations, it’s better to be more aggressive than less aggressive.

41. A. commenting B. publishing C. initiating D. describing

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 read.
(A)
Raccoons are arguably the most successful urban carnivore (食肉动物) in North America. They maintain large populations in most U.S. cities and are certainly just as common in Chicago, though actual population estimates are unknown. Almost anyone who has spent time outdoors at night has likely seen one, and they are quite difficult to confuse with anything else — their fat bodies, and mask-like facial markings, make them quite distinctive, and even perhaps charming.
A typical urban raccoon is able to eat virtually anything. Their diet includes earthworms, carrion, plant matter, cat food, and all kind of discarded human food waste. Raccoons are probably the most advanced wildlife which can dive our dustbins. Their paws (爪子) are quite dexterous and enable them to access closed garbage dustbins. Raccoons are also capable climbers and can be found on the top of fences and in trees. While they are typically solitary, they are willing to tolerate crowds of other raccoons if high quality food resources are present. They give birth once and sometimes twice a year in late spring and make use of a wide variety of den (巢穴) sites, including hollow trees, chimneys, etc. Because they make dens in a variety of human structures, raccoons can be a source of human-wildlife conflict, through direct confrontation with humans, property damage caused by their activities, and, perhaps most critically, through the transmission of disease. Leptospirosis, canine distemper, raccoon roundworm, and rabies are the most important zoonotic (人畜共患的) diseases carried by raccoons. Rabies in particular has had a massive effect on raccoon populations and caused a public health attention, to the point where use of vaccine have been attempted in some cities.
In most cases where raccoons are reported by the public, no management action is necessary. Large packs of raccoons, such as those often sighted along the lakeshore path, likely suggest a large artificial food source, such as people deliberately feeding raccoons on unchecked garbage. These large gatherings present a high disease risk and people should be strongly discouraged from feeding raccoons or leaving food outside for them. In cases where there is evidence of disease, individual raccoons will need to be trapped and killed.
56. What do we know about raccoons from the first paragraph?
A. They are unknown in Chicago. B. They are easily recognized.
C. They tend to attack people at night. D. They are declining in population.
57. The word “dexterous” (in paragraph two) probably means “______”.
A. skillful B. mysterious C. invisible D. abnormal
58. From the sentence “While they are typically…” (in paragraph two), we know that raccoons prefer to ______.
A. share food B. be in crowd C. live separately D. hide high quality food
59. What do we know from the last paragraph?
A. People are encouraged to feed raccoons.
B. Raccoons are killed as food source for people.
C. Immediate measures are adopted when raccoons are found.
D. Extreme actions may be taken to deal with racoons carrying disease.

ALCS NEWS Autumn 2021
Mavis Cheek (born 1948) is an English novelist, author of 15 novels.

Mavis Cheek in conversation about her writing life
……………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Q: What initially inspired you to become a writer?
A: Being unqualified to do any other job was a great help – or rather spur (激励). If I’d been able to be a secretary or a typist, for example, then economics might well have overtaken me in the years I spent improving my craft and trying to get published. Of course, the great inspiration was having my daughter and wanting to be at home with the baby while using my brain.
Q: What’s been your most exciting book and why?
A: My latest Amenable Women, from the point of view of all the research I had to do – which I hugely enjoyed, by the way. The most exciting book to have published was my first (Pause Between Acts, 1988), which had absolutely wonderful reviews everywhere (except the New York Times – and I didn’t mind that at all – just to be in the NYT was thrilling). It gave me extreme excitement, when the first of those came out.

Q: You once said that “any writer with a mortgage (贷款) never gets writer’s block”. Do your views differ now you have had 12 commercially successful books? If so, why?
A: I still think that one of the best (and worst) spurs to writing and for continuing to write is a requirement to earn a living. The road to publication is littered with the corpses (尸体) of would-be authors who can’t make it to the second or third book. I’ve just recently been sent a new novel by a really good author who were less successful for years and I am sure it was largely due to her having a private income. Believe me, if I didn’t have a mortgage in the bank, I’d be lying on Greek beach right now, not struggling to make sense of yet another novel.

Q: The more successful you become, do you find it harder to come up with concepts for a new novel?
A: It’s harder to believe you are getting better at the job, though obviously that’s what I and most writers want. Basically, we compete with ourselves while trying to continue pleasing our audience. Finding new ways of pleasing the readers one more time gets harder— at least for me. I always have to start with an idea that’s suddenly entered my head, and which won’t go away. Currently I’m suffered by thoughts of truth and how hard it is to maintain in an ordinary life.
60. What encouraged Mavis Cheek to become a writer?
A. The expectation of the worthy financial rewards.
B. The desire to combine the role of a mother and a career.
C. The established idea of gaining reputation of a famous writer.
D. The wish of encouraging people through the power of literature.
61. Overall, Mavis Cheek describes the writing profession as ______.
A. motivating but struggling B. respectable but impersonal
C. stressful and unfulfilling D. exciting and financially rewarding
62. According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A. Mavis Cheek had earned a lot before she became a writer.
B. The income from writing has removed Mavis Cheek’s material worries.
C. Mavis Cheek’s career once almost came to an end due to unfavorable comments.
D. Successful as she is, Mavis Cheek still feels it hard to satisfy the readers continuously.
(C)
Building good transportation is a good idea. To have environmental value, new transportation has to sufficiently replace or eliminate driving to cut energy consumption overall. That means that a new traffic system has to be supported by reduction in car use. Traffic lanes should be eliminated or converted into bike or bus lanes. Ideally, these should be combined with higher fuel taxes, and parking fees. Needless to say, I have to struggle to make myself extensively understood. But they’re necessary, because you can’t make people drive less, in the long run, by taking steps that make driving more pleasant, economical, and productive.
Lengthy commuting (通勤) time is a forceful factor which can slow the growth of suburbs. The farther people live away from cities, the longer commuting time they need, which means more pollution their cars produce. If, in a misguided effort to do something of environmental value, governments take steps that make long-distance car commuting faster or more convenient—by adding lanes, building bypass, employing traffic-control measures that make it possible for existing roads to accommodate more cars with fewer delays—we are actually encouraging people to live still farther from their jobs, stores, and schools. As a result, governments are forced to further extend road networks, water lines, and other facilities. If you cut commuting time by 10 percent, people who now drive fifty miles each way to work can find reason to move five miles farther out, because their travel time won’t change.
Traffic congestion (拥堵) isn’t an environmental problem; traffic is. Relieving congestion without doing anything to reduce the total volume of cars can only make the real problem worse. Highway engineers have known for a long time that building new car lanes only temporarily reduces congestion, because the new lanes add additional driving. Widening roads makes traffic move faster in the short term, but the improved conditions eventually attract additional drivers, and congestion reappears. With more car on the roads, people think about widening roads again. Moving drivers out of cars and into other forms of transportation can have the same effect, if existing traffic lanes are kept in service: road space stimulates road use.
One of the arguments that cities inevitably make in promoting transportation plans is that the new system, by relieving automobile congestion, will improve the lives of those who continue to drive. No one ever promotes a transportation system by arguing that it would make travelling less convenient—even though, from an environmental perspective, inconvenient travel is a worthy goal.
63. In the first paragraph, the author gives us the hint that his recommendations are ______.
A. not widely supported B. costly to carry out
C. generally recognized D. temporarily beneficial
64. According to the passage, what will happen if commuting time for drivers is reduced?
A. Drivers will become more productive employees.
B. Mass transportation will be extended farther into suburban areas.
C. Drivers will be more willing to live farther from their working place.
D. Mass transportation will carry fewer passengers and receive less government funding.
65. Which of the following can be inferred about the author’s attitude towards the measures to improve traffic?
A. They are environmentally beneficial and should be carried out immediately.
B. They are well intentioned but ultimately lead to environmental harm.
C. They will definitely arouse people’s awareness of environmental protection.
D. They will only work if they can make driving more economical and productive.
66. The author wrote this massage mainly to ______.
A. support the claim that efforts to reduce traffic actually increase traffic.
B. oppose the belief that improving mass transportation systems is good for the environment.
C. provide a balance between suburban expansion and traffic congestion.
D. indicate that making driving less agreeable is a way to reduce negative effects of traffic.
Section C
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A. There are certain aspects of economic growth which affect the environment.
B. Clean energy has always been on the priority list for a better environment.
C. For these reasons, bringing about economic growth without any resulting environmental
damage is impossible.
D. However, nowadays the range of required goods has expanded significantly.
E. So humankind began to make exploration to satisfy themselves economically and mentally.
F. They are sometimes preferred but replacing the traditional sources with them also requires
time.
Humankind has tried to improve its standard of living since the very beginning of civilization. Back then, and today, providing food was the basic task for a person. 67 People feel the need for not only some primary things, such as bread and shelters, but also for various facilities and luxuries. Providing humanity with these things is connected to the use of natural resources, which requires energy. In turn, the common sources of energy we use today cause pollution, so economic growth is almost inevitably associated with environmental damage.
68 The first of these is the fact that in order to produce more goods and products, at a faster rate, the construction of large industrial plants is required. These plants produce a lot of waste, which may cause negative long-term health effects to nearby populations of animals, or people.
The traditional energy sources, which are commonly used nowadays, are considered to be the greatest polluters to the environment. There also exist so-called eco-friendly sources of energy.
69 Of course, during this time people have to make some sacrifices to support these undertakings.
In order to produce practical energy, a transformation of the natural site is often inevitable. This is expensive and, has harmful effects on the environment. Application of wind energy would block airflow’s natural speed. Consequently, the pressure balance that is brought about by this current will be affected, and it is important to remember that the environment and weather conditions are directly affected by atmospheric pressure. 70 This is the embarrassment mankind has to deal with. A good balance between economic development and sustainability is forever what humankind has to keep in mind.

Ⅳ. Summary Writing
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.


Is Leather Good or Not?
For thousands of years, humans have used leather to make everything from clothing to furniture to footwear. The skin of animals is a material that is strong, hard-wearing and flexible. These qualities make leather a popular material for many different products, but more people are becoming concerned about the potential harm caused by items they buy. Should we respect ancient traditions or is having real leather not as important as it used to be?
The treatment of animals raised for their skins is a massive issue. According to the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), more than 2.29 billion cows, pigs and goats are killed each year for their hides. This does not include the animal skin of fancier leather products, such as sheep, crocodiles, kangaroos and lizards.
There’s also an environmental problem. Producing leather is a very polluting process, because it requires treating the skins with chemicals. During the procedure, called tanning, chemicals change the fibres (纤维) inside the leather, making it tougher. A tanning facility uses more than 60,000 litres of water for every tonne of leather produced. It uses huge amounts of poisonous chemicals, including substances containing heavy metals such as chromium, which when washed out ends up in nearby soil and drinking water that people use.
However, the making of leather is not entirely negative. Selling animal skin is a key source of income for remote populations such as the Inuit people in Canada. Every day, cows, pigs and goats are killed for their meat to be sold in supermarkets. It’s respectful not to waste anything, and without leather their skins would have to be buried or burned.
Although there are alternatives to leather, some of these fabrics are only 85% to 90% biodegradable (可生物降解的). Vegan leather can be made from plastics which take years to biodegrade, so it’s actually worse for the planet.

Section B
Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages and one longer conversation, and you will be asked several questions on each of the passages and the conversation. The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
In British Columbia, Canada, a local program was set up, which has benefited both elderly people and students.
Linda Jones, who used to be a nurse, is 99 years old now. She felt lonely because her daughter and son couldn’t keep her company. Recently, she signed up for a local program which aims to connect elderly people with young people. Linda and17-year-old Jessy Brown formed a pair because Jessy brown is also interested in the nursing work. Linda spent much of her life teaching and living in other parts of the world helping people in need. The stories are inspiring Brown, who also wants to become a nurse.
For the high school students who take part in the program, the time spent with elderly people can be used toward volunteer work which is needed for graduation. They are supposed to speak for 30 minutes with elderly people each week, but many go far beyond that. Students love and look forward to talking to elderly people every week.
The program has been a good fortune to both elderly people and high school students. Due to various reasons, elderly people can’t meet their families and students are having trouble getting their volunteer hours. Therefore, there has been a huge positive response from students who participate in the program.

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following speech.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Cheston. Cheston is believed to be one of the most beautiful places for concert in West England. Throughout the whole summer, Cheston holds an internationally famous concert festival in a magnificently beautiful countryside background. The stage for the performances is surrounded by the charming 18th century architecture, which is more than perfect for classic music. However, what attracts our audience most is that everyone is seated less than twenty feet from the performers. This short distance from the performers can make the audience more involved in the music.
Now, I would like to say a few words about the concert festival itself. Cheston Concert Festival is an annual summer event. It is a charity activity to promote the appreciation of performing arts in West England. The Festival aims to benefit the local community by engaging young professional artists and stimulating young people to participate in live performances. We hope to support young musicians in their career development. Cheston Concert Festival does not receive any public financial support. Primarily, it relies on private contributions. We offer various levels of private cooperation and our supporters can have the privilege of priority booking.

Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.
M: Hi, Jennifer, how is your Philosophy class?
W: Oh, it’s pretty good. I read a lot of materials we’re learning, but I’m frustrated about the biggest assignment that is due next week.
M: Oh no, what’s up?
W: Well, it’s a group project and we have to write a 10-page paper and prepare a 20-minute presentation about different famous philosophers, but my group needs to be pushed really hard.
M: That sounds stressful.
W: Yes, that’s the thing. The project is due on Monday and two of the people haven’t yet started their sections and another student’s work was terrible.
M: Oh, what was wrong with it?
W: It didn’t really satisfy any of the project requirements. His job was to cover Aristotle, like where and when he was born, and primary ideas of interests and who he influenced and who influenced him. Brian, the guy in my group just focused on ancient Greece in general and barely mentioned Aristotle. Let alone his great contributions.
M: That’s awful. You know, that’s the reason I find group project to be stressful. You never know who is going to be in your group and how unmotivated they are. In my engineering class, we had to design a suspension bridge, using renewable resources in a small group. My team members are just unreliable. It was so much work to do the project all by myself.
W: That’s not fair. I might have to do the same for this project. Before that I always loved group projects, but now my opinion has changed.
M: Since I have had the similar situation, I know what you are thinking about.
W: Thanks for your understanding, Mike.
