I’m appraching the Knight Street Bridge as I try t get hme after wrk. It’s 5:15 pm. Traffic
is slwing dwn and then it cmes t a full stp. I’m stuck even befre getting n the bridge.
This has becme my nrmal wrk cmmute (上下班往返) rutine. Ahead f me is a heavily
jammed n-ramp (匝道). I stare at the endless rws f vehicles, depressed. Secnds pass. Minutes
pass. Lking at the rws f cars and trucks, I start cunting — 299, 300, 301 — and I give up.
Suddenly I remember I’m ne f the 300 helpless drivers. When the cars d mve, I mve
carefully, making sure nt t knck int ther vehicles. Finally, I make it nt the bridge. The traffic
is still crawling at a snail’s pace. Tired and hungry, I becme very anxius.
Just then, I hear a faint sund in the distance. The sund gradually becmes luder, until I can
identify it as an emergency vehicle appraching frm behind. What d we d? The bridge is packed.
There’s n rm fr us t mve.
But I’m wrng. Every single car quickly yet carefully, mves t the side. Withut thinking, I
fllw suit. The lane remains pen fr a few secnds during which the ambulance flashes thrugh.
Afterward, every car mves back int frmatin (队形). We clse up the emergency lane,
cntinuing ur patient wait. Back in my spt, I’m awestruck. My exhaustin and anxiety are gne. I
start reflecting upn what 300 fellw drivers and I just did.

Despite ur exhaustin, we all decided t help the stranger wh needed the time mre
desperately than we did. We drew n ur cmpassin (同情心) and intelligence, requiring n rders.

Have yu ever imagined travelling t a freign cuntry withut having t wrry abut the
headache f cmmunicating in a different language?
In a recent Wall Street Jurnal article, technlgy plicy expert Alec Rss argued that, within
ten years r s, we wuld be able t cmmunicate with ne anther thrugh small earpieces with
built-in (内置的) micrphnes. That’s because technlgical prgress is extremely fast. It’s nly a
matter f time. Just as a “clever persnal helper” like Siri r Alexa is getting better at understanding
what yu say, there is n reasn t think that the future will nt bring a “persnal assistant
translatr”.
Nevertheless, translating is an altgether different task cmpared with finding the nearest
Starbucks, because machines aim fr perfectin and reasnability, while languages — humans —
are always imperfect and unreasnable. Replacing a wrd with its equivalent (对等词) in the target
language is actually the easy part f a translatr’s jb. But this seems t be a tricky jb fr
cmputers.
It’s s hard fr cmputers because translatin desn’t— r shuldn’t — be simply translating
wrds, sentences r paragraphs. Rather, it’s abut translating meaning. And in rder t infer
meaning frm a specific expressin, peple need t understand a lt f infrmatin all at nce.
Think abut all the related infrmatin that can help us understand what smene is trying t say:
tne, bdy mvements, situatins, and even yur culture. All are likely t express as much meaning
as the wrds yu use.
Therefre, we shuld dubt whether a machine can truly understand ur wrld like we d. If
peple frm different cultures can upset each ther withut realizing it, hw can we expect a
machine t d better? Unless engineers actually find a way t breathe a sul int a cmputer, when
it cmes t expressing and translating meaning using a natural language, a machine will never fully
take ur place.
28. Accrding t Alec Rss, hw will peple cmmunicate in the future?
A. By using persnal cmputers fr translatin widely.
B. By emplying small earpieces with built-in micrphnes.
C. By turning t machines instead f human translatrs cmpletely. D. By hiring a clever persnal helper like Siri r Alec Rss.

29. Why is it hard fr cmputers t replace a wrd with its equivalent?
A. Because it cvers much mre ther than wrds.
B. Because it can’t infer the cultural meaning.
C. Because a man’s sul hasn’t been breathed in them.
D. Because it is different frm finding the nearest Starbucks.
30. What’s the authr’s attitude twards the machine technlgy?
A. Unclear. B. Objective. C. Negative. D. Dubtful.
31. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A. The Difficulty f Translatin. B. Travel withut Headache.
C. Will the Language Barrier Disappear? D. Wh will be a Better Translatr?
D
Tday, the widespread ability t use Buy Nw, Pay Later (BNPL) services in nline retail is
transfrming hw cnsumers pay fr purchases. Rather than relying n traditinal payment methds,
cnsumers are increasingly using BNPL services t spread payments acrss interest-free
installments (免息分期付款).
In new research, we fund that BNPL adptin led t immediate and substantial(显著的)
increases in spending. Cnsumers wh adpted BNPL were mre likely t purchase, with purchase
prbability increasing frm 17% t 26%. Furthermre, when adpting cnsumers made purchases,
their basket sizes were 10% larger n average than befre the intrductin f BNPL.
Furthermre, the data als reveals a significant aspect f BNPL’s influence n cnsumer
spending patterns. In subsequent tracking studies, it was bserved that these increases in spending
were nt transitry: They lasted fr clse t six mnths, shwing that BNPL drives lasting gains
rather than shrt-term rises in cnsumer spending.
T understand hw BNPL increases spending, we cnducted experiments and fund that
participants wh paid in installments felt less financially cnstrained (财务受限) than thse wh
paid in full. BNPL’s ability t divide payments int smaller amunts gives cnsumers a sense f
better cntrl ver their budget. Smaller payments seemed mre manageable, even when larger
payments were delayed. Additinally, the smaller amunts made cnsumers feel the cst was less
imprtant, encuraging them t add mre items t their purchases.
At first glance, BNPL may seem like a win-win fr bth sellers and cnsumers. Hwever, ur
findings suggest that sellers are mst likely t see increased spending frm financially cnstrained
(约束) cnsumers wh rely n credit cards. Given that BNPL can encurage verbrrwing and
lead t financial pressure, it’s imprtant t be careful abut wh is ffered BNPL and hw much
they can use. Like a tempting (诱人的) dessert, BNPL can seem appealing shrt-term but carries
risks if verused, leading t a financial “sugar crash”.
32. What d we knw abut BNPL?
A. It bsts cnsumer spending. B. It invlves high-interest fees.
C. It raises the price f prducts. D. It sets up a minimum purchase.
33. What des the underlined wrd “transitry” in paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A. Rapid. B. Fixed. C. Temprary. D. Permanent.
34. What is paragraph 4 mainly abut?
5 / 9 学 科 网 （ 北 京 ） 股 份 有 限 公 司
A. Ways f using BNPL services.
B. BNPL’s influence n cnsumers.
C. Disadvantages f paying in installments.
D. A cmparisn f different payment methds.
35. Why des the authr mentin “tempting dessert” in the last paragraph?
A. T urge peple t stp using BNPL. B. T shw the wide applicatin f BNPL.
C. T state the benefits f BNPL fr sellers.D. T warn peple t be cautius abut BNPL.

The Science f Risk-Seeking
Smetimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is wrth it because when we weigh the
risk and the reward, the risk seems wrth tasking. 36 Sme f us enjy activities that wuld
surprise and scare the rest f us. Why? Experts say it may have t d with hw ur brains wrk.
The reasn why any f us take any risks at all might have t d with early humans. Risk-takers
were better at hunting, fighting, r explring. 37 As the quality f risk-taking was passed
frm ne generatin t the next, humans ended up with a sense f adventure and a tlerance fr risk.
S why aren’t we all jumping ut f airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ag, t much
risk-taking culd get ne killed. A few daring survived, thugh, alng with a few
stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans develped a range f character types that still exists
tday. S maybe yu lve car racing, r maybe yu hate it. 38
N matter where yu are n the risk-seeking range, scientists say that yur willingness t take
risks increases during yur teenage years. This is when yu start t mve away frm yur family
and int the bigger wrld. 39 New experiences ften mean taking sme risks, s yur brain
raises yur tlerance fr risk as well.
40 Fr the risk-seekers, a part f the brain related t pleasure becmes active, while fr
the rest f us, a part f the brain related t fear becmes active.
As experts cntinue t study the science f risk-seeking, we’ll cntinue t hit the muntains,
the waves r the shallw end f the pl.
A. It all depends n yur character.
B. Thse are the risks yu shuld jump t take.
C. Being better at thse things meant a greater chance f survival.
D. T help yu d that, yur brain increases yur hunger fr new experiences.
E. Thus, these well-equipped peple survived because they were the fittest.
F. Hwever, we are nt all using the same reference standard t weigh risks and rewards.
G. New brain research suggests ur brains wrk differently when we face a nervus situatin.
