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.

In total, you'll do this six times over six rounds of competition.

Phase Four: The GSC Final

The top six teams after The Early Years will be told to the public as our finalists on 25 May 2021. The finals week is scheduled to be held virtually in June 2021.

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.

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?

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

Ada Lovelace was born on December 10th 1815. Ada's mother and father (the famous poet Lord George Gordon Byron) parted just weeks after she was born. Her mother feared her growing up with her father's changeable nature. To stop this from happening, Ada was forced by her mother to learn science and mathematics which was unusual for women at the time. She was also punished if her work was not up to standard. However, she was greatly interested in mathematics and science and would perhaps have learned about them on her own.

Ada was partially disabled and as a result spent much time studying. Ada knew of her mother's thought about keeping the creative side of her from germinating (萌芽) however, as Ada herself is known to have said, “If you can't give me poetry at least give me poetical science.” Ada married at 19, to William King who was made Earl of Lovelace in 1838, at which point she became Lady Ada King, the Countess of Lovelace, but was known as Ada Lovelace. Ada and King had a relatively happy marriage, with King even encouraging his wife's love for numbers.

During her youth Ada was introduced to the Scot, Mary Somerville, who was known as the “Queen of 19th Century Science” and was the first woman to be accepted into the Royal Astronomical Society. It was through Mary Somerville that Ada first heard of Charles Babbage's idea for a new calculating (计算) engine. Attracted by this idea, Ada began a period of letter-writing with him that would come to decide her professional life.

Ada met Babbage when she was around 17 and the two became close friends. Babbage was working on an “Analytical Engine”, something he was designing to deal with complex ( 复杂的) calculations. Ada was later asked to translate an article. She not only translated the article but added pages and pages of notes, calculations and innovations (创新). Her notes were published in 1843 and it turned out that what she had written was so original, it is now seen as the first comprehensive comment on what would become modern-day computer programming. Although impressive, Ada was not actually given credit for the article until 1848.

32. What happened to Ada in her childhood?

A. She was pushed to learn scientific knowledge.

B. She had to compare herself with other women.

C. She gave up learning because of her father.

D. She was greatly cared for by her father.

33. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean?

A. Ada thought poetry was boring.

B. Ada thought science was creative.

C. Ada was interested in both science and poetry.

D. Ada believed poetry was harder than science.

34. What decided Ada's professional life?

A. The support of the Royal Astronomical Society.  B. Her communication with Babbage.

C. Her husband's encouragement.      D. Somerville's suggestions.

35. What did Ada do after she met Babbage?

A. She taught people how to program.   B. She invented an “Analytical Engine”.

C. She praised Babbage's achievements.  D. She translated an article and developed it.

Every night she would check the patients with her lamp.

When she returned home after the war, a fund had been set up in her honor. Many of the soldiers she had nursed had made contributions. Now she could set up the Nightingale Training School in London.
