Global Student Challenge

Global Student Challenge is an online construction business game open to students across the world, studying a built environment course.

About Global Student Challenge

Started in 2014, Global Student Challenge is a yearly competition run by the Chartered Institute of Building that provides built environment students with a chance to apply their learning to a real-world situation of running their own virtual construction company.

Phase (阶段) One: Registration

Registration is perhaps the most important part of the competition! You'll need to register your team in order to use the MERIT software. Even more important, you'll need to decide who your teammates will be. Entry for the competition is open now and will close on 7 April 2021.

Phase Two: Pre-Competition

The first phase of competition begins on 15 March 2021. In this phase, your team will be able to use the game software and begin to make your plan to run the company.

Phase Three: Competition

This is when things start to get real.

On 14 April 2021 the first round of data will be shown to all teams and you'll have a week to make your decisions and hand them in for scoring.

After each round you'll get a score and you'll be graded against other teams based on this. We call this stage “The Early Years” as you begin to get your virtual construction company off the ground.

Gerty Cori, the first American woman to win the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine, was born Gerty Theresa Radnitz in Prague in 1896. Gerty decided at the age of sixteen to study medicine. She entered the Realgymnasium at Tetschen, from which she graduated in 1914, and then went to the Medical School of the German University of Prague. While in medical school, Gerty met Carl Cori, a classmate who shared both her love of skiing and mountain climbing and her interest in laboratory research. In 1920, the two published the results of their first joint research, received their medical degrees, and married each other.

Gerty's first research position was as an assistant in the Karolinen Children's Hospital in Vienna. In 1922, Carl Cori moved to the United States to join the staff of the New York State Institute for the Study of Malignant Diseases in Buffalo, New York. Gerty Cori moved a few months later, starting as an assistant pathologist ( 病理学家) at the Institute and later rising to an assistant biochemist. In 1928, the Coris became US citizens.

In 1931, Carl Cori accepted the position of chairman of the Department of Pharmacology of the Washington University School of Medicine (WUSM), while Gerty Cori was hired as a research fellow. In the early 1940s the Coris moved to the Department of Biological Chemistry. Gerty Cori was made an associate ( 副 ) professor of Research Biological Chemistry and Pharmacology in 1943. She was elevated to the rank ( 级别) of professor of Biological Chemistry in July 1947, the same year she and her husband were awarded the Nobel Prize for their work on the metabolism of glycogen (糖代谢).

In 1947, Gerty Cori began showing the signs of myelofibrosis, an unusual blood disease. She fought the disease for ten years, refusing to give up her research until the last few months of her life. Gerty Cori died on October 26, 1957.

24. What can we learn about Gerty's husband? A. He shared the same interests with Gerty.

B. He moved to the USA later than Gerty.

Walking through an airport is never easy. Now imagine doing it if you were blind. That's the problem faced by Chieko Asakawa, a computer scientist and IBM researcher. Asakawa often flies between the US and Japan, making the journey monthly. If traveling alone she has to be helped at both ends of the flight, which sometimes includes endless waiting. Searching for a better replacement led Asakawa to invent a high-tech suitcase that helps get her to the place she wants to go safely.

“I never relax when I travel alone,” she says. “I always think about what technology will help me travel easier, quicker and more comfortably.” It was this restlessness that led to the AI suitcase.

The idea has been in development since 2017 through research between IBM, other Japanese companies, and Carnegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania. Asakawa says there are hopes to commercialize the suitcase and a pilot scheme ( 试验计划) is planned to use it in an airport, a shopping mall and other public spaces. Though the suitcase is too full of tech to hold any clothes, that could change in the future, she says.

A runner, Asakawa held Olympic dreams as a child, but a swimming accident at age 11 caused her to gradually lose her sight until, aged 14, she became totally blind. As a grown-up she has paid attention to developing accessibility technology. Among her creations is “aDesigner,” whose aim is to make designers' websites more user-friendly, and “IBM Home Page Reader,” the first voice browser ( 浏览器) to allow Internet access for blind people. Asakawa has won industry and government awards and been introduced into the US National Inventors Hall of Fame.

“The blind people usually use a white cane ( 手杖) or a guide dog. It will open up many doors for blind people, because we'd be able to go anywhere by ourselves. Without new technology, we cannot make our society more inclusive,” Asakawa says. “A smart suitcase is a great showcase for how AI and technology can change the lives of the blind.”

28. What drove Asakawa to invent the suitcase? A. The suggestion from an international airport. B. The wish to finish her trip without any help.

C. The huge business advantages of the suitcase. D. The experience of keeping the blind company.

29. What can we say about the suitcase?

高一英语试卷第2页（共 4 页）

A. It can hold clothes.

B. It has yet to be widely used.

C. It has proved unhelpful for the blind.

D. It is ready to be commercially produced.

30. What does Asakawa think of the suitcase?

A. It will encourage more scientists to help the blind.

B. It will make the public care for the blind more.

C. It will hugely free up the blind's movements.

D. It will change people's way of traveling.

31. What is the best title for this text?

A. Technology is changing people's lives rapidly

B.A robot suitcase makes traveling easy and popular

C. Traveling alone requires much courage for the blind

D. A smart suitcase could replace canes and guide dogs for the blind

D

Since I learned that shoppers who do less research are happier with their purchases ( 购买的东西), I've been proud of my “good enough” method of shopping. Unlike my husband, who does weeks of research, looking at various choices, and weighing his preferences compared to costs, I always buy the first item I come across that fits my needs and price range.

According to Barry Schwartz, author of the book The Paradox of Choice, my method of shopping is called “satisficing,” while my husband engages in ( 参与)“maximizing.” Maximizers want the best and believe that there's a perfect one of whatever they're looking for. Satisficers, on the other hand, focus on what will be good enough to meet their minimum (最低的) standards.

I recently purchased a desk chair. I wanted one that offered more lumbar ( 腰部的) support, so I went to a store and picked out a chair that felt comfortable and was within my price range. I was happy with my purchase for six months, until the day I put just a little weight on the back of the chair, and it broke. Turned out that the chair's back was made of particle board and it was just a matter of time before some weight broke the board. Now I have to buy a new one. It would have been less expensive if I'd researched various chairs, even if I'd ended up with a pricier chair.

While I am very much a satisficer, there are purchases that bring out the maximizer in me. One of them is blank notebooks. Recently I spent nearly two hours looking through the notebooks at a store to find the perfect one for a creative project. While I could use any notebook to take notes and draw pictures, the one I found fitted the project I had in mind.

While I'm always glad to be a satisficer, I admit my satisficing ways can sometimes prevent me from getting the satisfaction of finding exactly what I want. I know making sure that I raise my standards and get the enjoyment of finding the right choice for me will help me to enjoy the best of both worlds.

32. What can we learn about the author from paragraph 1? A. She dislikes shopping at all.

B. She wants every purchase to be perfect.

C. She is proud of every choice she has made.

D. She is a quick decision-maker when shopping.

33. Why does the author mention her experience of buying a desk chair? A. To suggest that satisficing can save time.

B. To show that satisficing can often be silly. C. To show that satisficing can be expensive.

D. To prove that satisficing can bring happiness.

34. How did the author feel about the notebook she bought?

A. She regretted buying it. B. She felt satisfied with it.

C. She thought it was affordable. D. She found it was not good enough.

35. What does the author learn from her shopping experiences? A. It pays to be a patient shopper.

B. Shopping can provide pleasure.

C. Spending wisely saves one trouble.

D. One never wastes time on what to buy.

项。

By 2050 we'll be able to send memories, emotions and feelings across the Internet. 36 Teenagers will love it. Instead of putting an emoticon (表情符号) at the end of every sentence, they will use an emotion: anger, happiness, or excitement.

I'm talking about telepathy ( 心灵感应 ), really. We'll still communicate the traditional way. 37 Our children will wonder, What is a keyboard? We will enter the age of the “brain net”.

Medicine will develop fast, too. We will have cured certain forms of cancer, and we will have begun to treat the disease like the common cold. We'll live with it. It will no longer be deadly.  38 Technology will help in this respect.  39 Smart toilets will perform liquid biopsies ( 液体活

检) to discover cancer cells. Smart objects like phones will check us over automatically.

40    By 2050 I think we'll be able to grow many of the important organs (器官) of the body and, rather than allow the organs we're born with to become old and weak, we'll replace them. That's all coming. And it doesn't take much imagination to realise it.

1. We will do a few tests.

2. People will live an easy life.

3. We won't fear it like we used to.

4. Brain science will have changed communication.

5. We can already use human cells to grow skin, noses, ears, etc.

6. But communicating telepathically will avoid misunderstandings between people.

7. Our clothes will discover the beginnings of a heart disease, and advise us to get treatment.

Armed with my camera and a face mask, I entered the COVID-19 quarantine ward (隔离病区) after having my temperature checked.

A quick look in any direction in the ward showed nurses  41  going around attending to patients, who were separated from me by a partition (隔板) with clear glass windows I could  42 . For my own  43 , I was not allowed to open the door leading to the room where the patients were. I stood in the long passage, focusing my camera to  44  the nurses and patients beyond the

But what caught my 47 the most were the nurses, who were 48 from head to toe in full personal protective equipment (PPE). Despite working long hours, some of them could still share a 49 with me about the PPE, which they called a “sauna (桑拿浴) suit”.

Due to the 50 amount of PPE, these staff must wear their heavy protective equipment for four full hours, so they are usually wet with sweat by the time they are allowed to 51 . One of the nurses whom I spoke to said a colleague of hers 52 a few kilograms due to the PPE.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Pembral was a good boy. But he was always forgetting things. Big things, small things, important things, little things. His mother was a patient woman, which was a good thing. Pembral regularly tested her patience. She learned early on to remind him of everything: big things, small things, important things, even the little things. Once in a while the little things that didn't seem important at the time became more important later.

Sometimes she thought that Pembral forgot things on purpose — things like washing behind his ears; or picking up his toys; or feeding the dog. It bothered (麻烦) her to remind him of these sorts of things. However, for the most part, she knew that his mind just wandered off and it was her job to bring it back.

Fall weather had arrived. The air was cool and fresh, especially in the morning, even if the skies were brilliant blue and the sun was shining brightly. The light of the morning made wisps (缕) of fog come up from the ponds. The trees were changing their summer greens to coats of brilliant yellow, orange and red.

This was a time when Pembral's mother cooked things that smelled and tasted really good. It seemed like he was just hungrier in the fall or something, and he liked how the windows steamed up and how the kitchen smells filled up the whole house when his mother was cooking up something good at that time of the year.

Pembral's mother was baking (烤) something special that day: a carrot cake. It was one of Pembral's favorites. But she needed some things from the store, and sent Pembral to get them. “I need eggs, sugar and raisins ( 葡萄干),” she said. “Here's some money,” she went on. “Put it in your pocket where you won't lose it.”

Pembral pushed the money into his pocket, and headed toward the door. He went outside and down the street, kicking dry leaves on the sidewalk into the air and breathing in their smell, and watching flying birds.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。

When he got to the store, he picked up a basket and went about shopping.

He was reaching into his pocket for the change when his mother said, “Where are the eggs?”
