A
Several studies in recent years have suggested that ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft can wrsen traffic prblems in cities, which cntinue t have high rates f private vehicle wnership.
Recently, a new study has fund that ride-sharing services result in much mre pllutin than ther kinds f private and public transprtatin. Ride-sharing trips als draw passengers away frm mre envirnment-friendly methds f travel, like public transprtatin, walking r biking, the study fund.
The new study, carried ut by the nt-fr-prfit grup Unin f Cncerned Scientists, represents an attempt t center n hw ride-sharing services affect pllutin.The research examined the effects f ride-sharing services n seven f America's largest cities.
Overall, the researchers reprted that ride-sharing trips nw “result in an estimated 69 percent mre climate pllutin n average than the trips they displace.”The study ntes that the same passengers culd have chsen t travel by bus, train, bike, scter r n ft.
One f the big reasns they give fr this result is that ride-sharing vehicles are ften driven with n passengers in the car. This happens when drivers are either waiting fr rider requests, are n the way t pick up passengers r are driving in between pickups.This situatin, knwn as“deadheading", takes up abut 42 percent f all ride-sharing driving activity, the study fund. The researchers said that deadheading results in abut 50 percent mre carbn dixide than ne persn driving in a private vehicle. Bth Uber and Lyft d ffer a chice f a “pled” ride, which invlves drivers picking up additinal riders during the same trip.
The study urges services like Uber and Lyft t wrk t increase the number f pled rides. It als urges the tw cmpanies t increase the number f electric vehicles n the rad and t imprve cnnectins t public transprtatin centers.
Bth Uber and Lyft have said in the past that mst studies n the subject verstate the effects f their services n pllutin. They have nted that the majrity f vehicles n the rad belng t private individuals r cmpanies. Uber tld Reuters news agency in a statement it had n cmment n the latest reprt. But the cmpany said it aims t be part f the slutin t address climate change by wrking directly with cities.The statement added that Uber wuld cntinue t prmte pled trips and ther means f transprtatin.
21. What des the underlined wrd “they” in Para. 4 refer t?
A. The researchers.B. Ride-sharing trips.
C. The same passengers.D. Envirnment-friendly methds f travel.
22. What can we learn frm the passage?
A. Mst studies have verstated the effects f Uber's and Lyft's services n pllutin.
B. Ride-sharing services are playing an active rle in dealing with climate change.
C. Peple may be discuraged frm taking public transprtatin due t ride-sharing services.
D. Climate pllutin resulting frm ride-sharing trips has increased by 69 percent n average.

Many peple dream f becming a prgrammer fr a leading tech cmpany, as such wrk can secure a high salary that is envied by many. Hwever, it may als mean having rutinely t accept vertime wrk.
Recently, a prgrammer created a prject called “996.ICU” n github.cm, the well-knwn cde-sharing website. The prject criticized the “996 wrk schedule” where emplyees wrk frm 9 am t 9 pm, 6 days a week, with the prspect f ending up in an intensive care unit (ICU).
The wrk schedule is cmmn amng Chinese tech cmpanies. On the website, many prgrammers wrking fr China's tech cmpanies shared evidence shwing that their cmpanies asked them t wrk the lng hurs. Amng them were majr names like e-cmmerce leaders Alibaba and JD.cm, as well as telecms equipment manufacturer Huawei.
Several bsses f tech cmpanies have defended “996” as a kind f wrk culture. Jack Ma, funder f Alibaba, said it's “a huge blessing” fr yung wrkers t wrk “996”. “If yu dn't d '996' when yu're yung, when will yu?” Ma said, accrding t a pst n Alibaba's WeChat accunt. “If yu dn't invest mre time and energy than thers, hw will yu achieve the success yu want?”
Hwever, Peple's Daily said that thse wh questined “996” shuld nt be labeled. “Valuing hard wrk des nt equal frcing emplyees t wrk vertime,” cmmented the newspaper. “One shuld nt attach the mral labels f 'slackers' r 'nt willing t strive' t emplyees wh are against '996'.”
Meanwhile, Cui Zhendng, a lawyer with the Yiqian Law Firm, said that it is illegal fr a cmpany t intrduce a cmpulsry “996” wrk schedule fr emplyees, since the Labr Law clearly states that the wrking hurs f an emplyee shuld nt exceed an average f eight hurs daily, r 44 hurs a week. Emplyers may extend wrking hurs after cnsultatin with an emplyee, but shall nt exceed three hurs a day r 36 hurs a mnth.
A senir develper with the e-cmmerce giant Alibaba, wh asked nt t be named t prtect his career, said emplyers seldm say the schedule is cmpulsry, but failure t fllw the rules culd lead t lw perfrmance scres and layffs. “Refusal t verwrk can als lead t lsing yur annual bnus, which is a lt f mney,” he said.
“When resrting t the legal system fr prtectin, there is a price t pay: time, mney and the risk f lsing yur jb, therefre they turn t cyberspace,” Jiang Ying, aprfessr f law said.
T better prtect wrkers frm harsh treatment, Jiang suggested that the systems fr appealing t the curt f law shuld be beefed up.
24. What can we infer frm the passage?
A. The “996”wrk schedule is merely a rare case amng cmpanies.
B. The “996” wrk schedule is a newly invented system that is unique t China.
C. Peple's Daily thinks it frgivable t criticize thse wh challenge the “996” wrk schedule.
D. In reality it's s difficult fr emplyees t defend their right against verwrk thrugh law.
25. Hw many hurs is an emplyee permitted t wrk at mst per day by law?
A.3.B.8.C.9.D.11.
26. What des the underlined phrase “beefed up” in the last paragraph prbably mean?
A. Imprved.B.Banned.C.Expsed.D.Encuraged.
27. Where is the passage mst prbably taken frm?
A. A gvernment reprt.B.A newspaper. C.A scientific essay.D.A cde-sharing website.

Since App Stre was set up, it has been selling cnsumers ne simple thing: chice. Whether yu wanted t play games, read the news, r d a thusand ther things, there was smething fr whatever yu desired.
Then smething funny happened. Lgging int the App Stre tday is like ging int a shpping mall with nly a cupn(优惠券) fr ne thing: There's s much chice; it might be easier t give up than t chse.
lt isn't just cnsumers wh are burdened, thugh. T much cntent f all kinds als has ecnmic effects. When cuntless chices are available, it causes pressure, pushing prices dwn and driving us a bit crazy.
S what is the way frward? Less chice itself may be a sensible strategy. There are already signs that this is happening. Firstly cntent cmpanies are lking t prevent their fferings frm getting lst in the tns f stuff. Mst bvius is Disney, which is planning t pen its wn streaming service next year. The pint is t narrw the fcus s that thse seeking Disney cartns will have ne place t g, rather than being arund varius services.
Yet if that represents a careful first step, there are mre extreme ptins t. Cnsider the idea f a wine club: frm tens f thusands f bttles each year, subscribers pay smene t select the mst interesting nes. Perhaps what cmes next fr digital cntent is similar—carefully selected fferings frm trusted surces that put chices in the hands f custmers in rder t get rid f the anxiety f chsing.
Up t nw, t much chice in digital media has nly ne slutin: the algrithm (运算法则). But we've seen the truble with algrithms n Yu Tube. They feed yu nly what yu've already said yu like, nt things yu may nt knw yu're int. Wrse, they have a tendency t serve up disturbing cntent. The way frward can't simply be mre r better algrithms.
Instead, it's time fr digital cmpanies t start thinking abut hw t put limits n things: n hw much we can use a device, r what we are available t chse frm. As we mve further int the digital revlutin, what peple ask fr is clear: Less.
28.Faced with t much chice, cnsumers are mre likely t__________.
A. chse carefullyB. feel anxiusC. use a cupnD. push dwn prices
29. What's the purpse f mentining the "wine club" in paragraph 5?
A. T teach custmers hw t chse a bttle f wine wisely.
B. T shw digital cmpanies hw t narrw custmers' fcus.
C. T demnstrate what sme custmers' extreme ptins are.
D. T save custmers frm getting lst in the chice f the APP Stre.
30. What can we infer frm the passage?
A. In rder t sell chice better, digital cmpanies shuld ffer less.
B. Yu Tube tends t feed peple what they are pssibly interested in.
C. Algrithms can help cnsumers and cmpanies make better chices.
D. Thse seeking Disney cartns have easy and quick access t them.
31.What d we knw abut the algrithm?
A. It manages t ffer what cnsumers will pssibly like
B. It helps t remve disturbing cntent frm digital media
C. It ffers cnsumers things based n what they’ve said they like
D. It’ll slve the prblem f having t much chice
D
British researchers say they have created an artificial intelligence (AI) mdel that is highly effective at predicting rainfall within the next 90 minutes.
The mdel was built by scientists at a research cmpany DeepMind in Lndn. The cmpany partnered with researchers at the University f Exeter in Britain and the Met Office, the British gvernment’s natinal weather service. The team says tests f the system shwed it prduced mre accurate(精确的,准确的) predictins, r frecasts, fr shrt-term rainfall than ther existing systems.
Accurate nwcasting(短时预报) can be a very imprtant tl fr preparing fr pssible weather emergencies. It can be used by fficials in the areas f water management, agriculture, air and grund traffic cntrl and utdr event planning. “We were especially interested in the ability f these mdels t make predictins n medium t heavy-rain events, which are the events that mst impact peple and the ecnmy,” the team said. The scientists said their mdel aims t create predictive “mvies” f immediate weather patterns. They said that, unlike ther systems, theirs can accurately capture large-scale events, as well as several different rain pssibilities.This cmbinatin permits “rainfall uncertainties” t be deeply explred.
During the testing prcess, the team said the mdel shwed “statistically(统计上地) significant” imprvements in these areas cmpared t cmpeting methds. In additin, the researchers reprted that a grup f mre than 50 weather experts frm the Met Office rated(评估) the AI mdel t be mre accurate and useful in 89 percent f cases than existing frecasting systems.
Despite the study results, researchers admitted that the mdel still has limitatins. They said “mre wrk is needed t imprve the accuracy f lng-term predictins and the accuracy n rare and intense events.” The team said it will nw centre n develping new methds t test and measure the mdel’s perfrmance. It will als wrk t create mre specialised systems t perate in real-wrld cnditins.
32.What d we knw abut the new AI mdel?
A.The mdel is created by researchers f the Met Office.
B.The mdel can predict any rainfall within 90 minutes.
C.The mdel needs imprving in lng-term frecasting.
D.The mdel has been used in real-wrld cnditins.
33.What is Paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A.The difficulty f accurate nwcasting.
B.The relatinship between weather frecasting and the ecnmy.
C.The necessity f building the new AI mdel.
D.The principles f the new AI mdel.
34.Why des the writer mentin the weather experts frm the Met Office in Paragraph 4?
A.T prve the advantage f the new mdel. B.T cmpare the new mdel with the ld systems.
C.T explain the rule f weather frecasting. D.T shw hw the existing system wrks.
35.Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the passage?
A.Existing Frecasting Systems Need Imprving
B.AI Predicts Immediate Rainfall Better than Existing Systems
C.New Explratins in Weather Predictins
D.New Methds n Testing the AI Mdel’s Perfrmance
