(10 points)Given the advantages of electronic money, you might think that we would move quickly to the cashless society in which all payments are made electronically. 1 a true cashless society is probably not around the corner. Indeed, predictions have been 2 for two decades but have not yet come to fruition. For example, Business Week predicted in 1975 that electronic means of payment would soon "revolutionize the very 3 of money itself," only to 4 itself several years later. Why has the movement to a cashless society been so 5 in coming?Although electronic means of payment may be more efficient than a payments system based on paper, several factors work 6 the disappearance of the paper system. First, it is very7 to set up the computer, card reader, and telecornmunications networks necessary to make electronic money the 8 form of payment Second, paper checks have the advantage that they 9 receipts, something thai many consumers are unwilling to 10 . Third, the use of paper checks gives consumers several days of "float" - it takes several days 11 a check is cashed and funds are 12 from the issuer's account, which means that the writer of the check can cam interest on the funds in the meantime. 13 electronic payments arc immediate,they eliminate the float for the consumer.Fourth, electronic means of payment may 14 security and privacy concerns. We often hear media reports that an unauthorized hacker has been able to access a computer database and to alter information 15 there. The fact that this is not an 16 occurrence means that dishonest persons might be able to access bank accounts in electronic payments systems and 17 from someone else's accounts. The 18 of this type of fraud is no easy task, and a new field of computer science is developing to 19 security issues. A further concern is that the use of electronic means of payment leaves an electronic 20 that contains a large amount of personal data. There are concerns that government, employers, and marketers might be able to access these data, thereby violating our privacy.1.[A] However [B] Moreover [C] Therefore [D] Otherwise2.

2024年考研英语二完型填空2024 Graduate Admission English Exam: Cloze TestAs the academic year 2023-2024 approaches, students across the country are eagerly anticipating the upcoming Graduate Admission English Exam, commonly known as English II. This pivotal examination serves as a critical gateway for countless individuals seeking to pursue postgraduate studies, and the Cloze Test section is one of the most challenging components that test-takers must confront.The Cloze Test, a technique that assesses an individual's ability to comprehend and fill in the missing words in a given passage, has long been a cornerstone of the English II exam. It requires a deep understanding of vocabulary, grammar, and contextual clues, challenging test-takers to demonstrate their proficiency in the English language. This section not only evaluates a candidate's linguistic competence but also their critical thinking skills, as they must analyze the structure and flow of the text to determine the most appropriate word to complete each blank.For the aspiring graduate students, the Cloze Test represents aformidable obstacle that must be overcome with meticulous preparation and a keen attention to detail. The passage presented in this section is typically drawn from a variety of academic and professional sources, covering a wide range of topics, from scientific breakthroughs to literary analysis. The test-taker must navigate through these challenging passages, seamlessly filling in the blanks with the correct words that maintain the coherence and meaning of the text.Effective preparation for the Cloze Test section begins with a comprehensive review of vocabulary, focusing on both common and specialized terms that are commonly encountered in academic and professional settings. This foundational knowledge is then coupled with a deep understanding of grammatical structures, allowing the test-taker to identify the appropriate parts of speech and their contextual usage within the passage.In addition to mastering vocabulary and grammar, successful Cloze Test performance also requires a keen eye for textual cohesion and coherence. Test-takers must be adept at recognizing the logical flow of ideas, identifying the relationships between sentences, and using contextual clues to determine the most suitable word to fill each blank. This skill set not only enhances performance on the Cloze Test but also translates to effective written communication in academic and professional settings.To further bolster their chances of success, aspiring graduate students should engage in extensive practice with a wide range of Cloze Test samples, gradually building their confidence and honing their skills. This hands-on approach allows them to become familiar with the format, the types of passages, and the common patterns that emerge in the Cloze Test section. By repeatedly exposing themselves to these practice tests, test-takers can develop a keen intuition for identifying the correct answers and refine their test-taking strategies.Moreover, effective time management is crucial in the Cloze Test section, as test-takers are required to swiftly and accurately complete the passage within a limited timeframe. Through practice and strategic planning, candidates can learn to prioritize their attention, allocating more time to the more challenging blanks while efficiently navigating the easier ones.As the 2024 Graduate Admission English Exam approaches, aspiring graduate students must approach the Cloze Test section with a combination of diligent preparation, strategic thinking, and unwavering determination.

What It Should Be,Diane Coyle,an economist at Cambridge University,argues that the digital economy requires new ways of thinking about progress.“Whatever we mean by the economy growing,by things getting better, the gains will haveto bemoreevenlyshared than in the recent past,"she writes."An economy of tech millionaires or billionairesand gig workers,withmiddle-income jobs undercut byautomation will not be politically sustainable.”Improving living standards and increasing prosperity for morepeople will require greater use of digital technologies to boost productivity in various sectors,including health care and construction,says Coyle.But people can't be expected to embrace the changes if they're not seeing the benefits—if they're justseeinggoodjobs being destroyedIn a recent interview with MIT Technology Review,Coyle said she fears that tech's inequality problem could bea roadblock to deploying AL.“We're talking about disruption,”she says.“These are transfomative technolog ies that change the ways wespend our time every day, that change business models that succeed.”To make such “tremendous changes,”she adds,you need social buy-in.Instead,says Coyle,resentment is simmeringamong many as the benefits are perceived to go to elites ina handful of prosperous cities.Acording to the Brookings Institution,a short list of eight American cities that included San Francisco,San Jose,Boston,and Seattle had roughly 38%of all tech jobs by 2019.New AI technologies are particularly concentrated:Brookings's Mark Muro and Sifan Liu estimate that just 15 cities account for two-thirds of theAI assets and capabilities in the United States (San Francisco and San Jose alone account for about one-quarter).The dominance of a few cities in the invention and commercialization of AI means that geographical disparities in wealth will continueto soar.Not only will this foster political andsocial unrest,but it could,as Coyle suggests,hold back the sorts of AI technologies needed for regional economies togrow.Part of the solution could lie in somehow loosening the stranglehold that Big Tech hason defining the AI agenda.That will likely take increased federal funding for research independent of the tech giants.Muro and others have suggested hefty federal funding to helpcreate US regional innovation centers,for example.A more immediate response is to broaden our digital imaginations to conceive of AI technologies that don't simply replace jobs but expand opportunities in the sectors that different parts ofthecountry care most about,like health care,education,and manufacturing.21.Coyle argues in her new book that economic growth should[A]giverise toinnovation[B]diversifycareerchoices[C]benefit people equallyD]be promoted

complete life-changer when someone stops—or is forced to stop—diving,said former risk manager Anne M.Menke.The American Medical Association advises physicians that in situation where clear evidence of substantial driving impairment implies a strong threat to patient and public safety,and where the physician's advice to discontinue driving privileges is ignored,it is desirable and ethical to notify the Department of Motor Vehicles,Menke wrote."Some states require physiciansto report, others allow but donot mandate reports,while a few consider a report breach of confidentiality. There could be liability and penalties if a physician does not act in accordance with state laws on reporting and confidentiality”she counseled.Part ofthe problem in keeping older drivers safe is that the difficulties are addressed piecemeal by different professions withdifferent focuses,including gerontologists,highway administration officials,automotive engineers and others,said gerontologist Elizabeth Dugan. “There's not a National Institute of Older Driver Studies,"she said.“Weneedbetter evidence on what makes drivers unsafe"and what can help,said DuganOne thing that does seem to workis requiring drivers to report in person for license renewal. Mandatory in-personrenewal was associated with a31 percent reduction in fatal crashes involving drivers 85 orolder,according to one study.Passing vision tests also produced a similar decline in fatal crashes for thosedrivers,although there appeared to be nobenefit from combining the two.Many old divers don't see eye doctors or can't afford to.Primarycare providers have their hands full and may notbe able to follow through with patients who have trouble driving because they can't tumtheir heads or remember where they are going—or have gotten shorter and havent changed their seat settings sufficiently to reach car pedals easily,As long asthere are other cars on the roads,self-driving cars won't solve the problems of crashes,said Dugan.Avoiding dangers posed by all those human divers would require to many algorithms,she said.But we need to do more to improve safety,s aid Dugan.“If we're going to have 100-year lives,we need cars that a90-year-old can drive comfortably.”31.According toParagraphl,keeping unsafe aging drivers off the road[A]is a new safety measure[B]hasbecome a disputed issue[C]can be a toughtask to complete[D]will be beneficial to their health32.The American medical associations advice[A]has won support from drivers[B]is generally considered unrealistic[C]is wide dismissed as unnecessary[D]has met with different responses33.According to Dugan,effortsto keep older drivers safe[A]have brought about big changes[B]need to bewell coordinated[C]havegained publicconcern[D]call for relevant legal support34.Some older drivers have trouble driving because they tend to[A]stick with bad driving habits[B]have aweakened memory[C]suffer fromchronic pains[D]neglect car maintenance35.Duganthinks that the solution to the problems of crashes may lie in[A]upgrading self-driving vehicle[B]developing senior-friendlycars[C]renovating transport facilities[D]adjusting the age limit for driversText 4If you look at the apps on your phone,chances are you have at least one related to your health—and probably several.Whether it is a mental health app,a fitness tracker,a connectedhealth device or something else,many of us are taking advantage of this technology tokeep better track of our health in some shape or fom.Recent research from the Organization for the Review of Care and Health Applications found that 350,000 health apps were available on the market, 90,000 of which launched in 2020 alone.While these apps have a great deal to offer,it is not always clear how the personal information we input is collected,safeguarded and shared online.Existing health privacy law, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act,is primarily focused on the way hospitals,doctors'ofices,clinics and insurance companies store health records online. The health information these apps and health data tracking wearables are collecting typically does not receive the same legalprotections.Without additional protections in place,companies may share (and potentially monetize)personal health information in a way consumersmay not have authorized oranticipated. In2021,Flo Health faced a Federal Trade Commission(FTC)investigation.The FTC alleged in a complaint that "despite express privacy claims,the company took control of users' sensitivity fertility data and shared it with third parties.”"Flo Health andthe FTC settled the matter with a Consent Order requiring the company to get app users'express affirmative consent before sharing their health information as well as to instruct the third parties to delete the data they had obtained.Section 5 of the FTC Act empowers the FTC to initiate enforcement action against unfair or deceptive acts,meaning the FTC can only act after the fact if a company's privacy practices are misleadingor causeunjustified consumer harm.While the FTC is doing what it can to ensure apps are keeping their promises to consumers around the handling of their sensitive health information, the rateat which these health apps are hitting the market demonstrates just how immense of a challenge this is.As to

experts say that the quality of a college hopeful's extracurricular activities matter more than the number of activities he or she participates in Sue Rexford,the director of collegeguidance at the Charles.E.Smith Jewish Day School, saysit is not necessary for a student,flling out the Common Application tolist 10 activities in the application“No”college will expect that a student has a huge laundry list of extracurricular that they have beenpassionately involved in each foran tended period of time,"Rexford wrote in an email.Experts say it is tougher to distinguish oneself in a school-affiliated extracurricular activity that is common among high school students than it is to stand out while doing an uncommon activity.“The competition to standout and make an impact is going to be much stiffer,and so if they're going todo a popular activity,I'd say,be the best at it.”says Sara Harhe rson,a college admission consultant.High school students who have an impressive personal project they are working on independently often impress colleges,experts say.“For example,a student withan interest in entrepreneurship could de monstrateskills and potential by starting a profitable small business.”Olivia Valdes,the founder of Zen Admissions consulting firm,wrotein an emailJosephAdegboyega-Edun,a Maryland High school guidance counselor,says unconventional, extracurricular activities can help students,impress college admissionsoffices,assuming they demonstrated,serious commitment.“Again,sinceone of the big questions high school seniors must consider is ‘What makesyou unique?'having an uncommon,extracurricular activity,a conventional oneisan advantage,"hewrote in an email.Experts say demonstrating talent in at least one extracurricular activity canhelp in the college admissionsprocess,especially at top-tier undergraduate institutions.“Distinguishing yourself in one focused type of extracurricular activity can be a positive in the admissions process,especially for highly selective institutions,where having top grades and test scores is not enough,"Katie Kelley admissions counselor at Ivy Wiseadmissions consultancy, wrote in an email.“Student s need to have that quality or hook that will appeal to admissions officers and allow them to visualize how the student might come and enrich their campus community.”Extracurricular activities related to the college major declared on a college application are beneficial,experts suggest.“Ifyou already know your major,having an extracurricular that fits into that major can be a big plus,"says Mayghin Levine,the manager of educational opportunities with The Cabbage Patch Settlement House,a Louisville,Kentucky,nonprofit community center.High school students who have had a strong

Should Be, Diane Coyle,an cconomist at Cambridge University,argues that the digital economy requires new ways of thinking about progress.“Whatever we mean by the economy growing,by things getting better,the gains will have to be more evenly shared than in the recent past,”she writes.“An economy of tech millionaires or billionaires and gig workers,with middle-income jobs undercut by automation,will not be politically sustainable.”Improving living standards and increasing prosperity for more people will require greater use of digital technologies to boost productivity in various sectors,including health care and construction,says Coyle.But people can't be expected to embrace the changes if they're not seeing the benefits—if they're just seeing good jobs being destroyed.In a recent interview,Coyle said she fears that tech's inequality problem could be a roadblock to deploying AI.“We're talking about disruption,”she says.“These are transformative technologies that change the ways we spend our time every day,that change business models that succeed.”To make such“tremendous changes,”she adds, you need social buy-in.Instead,says Coyle,resentment is simmering among many as the benefits are perceived to go to elites in a handful of prosperous cities.According to the Brookings Institution,a short list of eight American cities that included San Francisco,San Jose,Boston,and Seattle had roughly38%of all tech jobs by2019.New AI technologies are particularly concentrated:Brookings's Mark Muro and Sifan Liu estimate that just15cities account for two-thirds of the AI assets and capabilities in the United States.The dominance of a few cities in the invention and commercialization of AI means that geographical disparities in wealth will continue to soar.Not only will this foster poltical and social unrest,but it could,as Coyle suggests,hold back the sorts of AI technologies needed for regional economies to grow.Part of the solution could lie in somehow loosening the stranglehold that Big Tech has on defining the AI agenda.That will likely take increased federal funding for research independent of the tech giants.A more immediate response is to broaden our digital imaginations to conceive of AI technologies that don't simply replace jobs but expand opportunities in the sectors that different parts of the country care most about,like health care,education,and manufacturing.英语(二)试题.3.(共14页)21.Coyle argues in her new book that economic growth should[A]give rise to innovations[B]diversify career choices[C]bencfit people cqually[D]be

produce wood,Confor has warned.The forestry and wood trade body has called for urgent action to reduce the country's reliance on timber imports and provide a stable supply of wood for future generations.Currently only20per cent of the UK's wood requirement is home-grown while it remains the second-largest net importer of timber in the world.Coming at a time of fresh incentives from the UK government for landowners to grow more trees,the trade body says these don't go far enough and fail to promote the benefits of planting them to boost timber supplies.“Not only are we facing a carbon crisis now,but we will also be facing a future construction crisis because of a failure to plant trees to produce wood,”said Stuart Goodall,chief executive of Confor.“For decades we have not taken responsibility for investing in our domestic wood supply, leaving us exposed to fluctuating prices and fighting for future supplies of wood as global demand rises and our own supplies fall.”The UK has ideal conditions for growing wood to build low-carbon homes and is a global leader in certifying that its forests are sustainably managed,Confor says.While around three quarters of Scottish homes are built from Scottish timber,the use of home-grown wood in England is only around25per cent.The causes of the UK's current position are complex and range from outdated perceptions of productive forestry to the decimation of trees by grey squirrels.It also encompasses significant hesitation on behalf of farmers and other landowners to invest in longer-term planting projects.While productive tree planting can deliver real financial benefits to rural economies and contribute to the UK's net-zero strategy,the focus of government support continues to be on food production and the rewilding and planting of native woodland solely for biodiversity.Goodall added:“While food production and biodiversity health are clearly of critical importance,we need our land to also provide secure supplies of wood for construction,manufacturing and contribute to net zero.“While the UK government has stated its ambition for more tree planting,there has been little action on the ground.Confor is now calling

Applicants'Extracurricular Activities High school students eager to stand out in the college application process often participate in a litany of extracurricular activities hoping to bolster their chances of admission to a selective undergraduate institution.However,college admissions experts say that the quality of a college hopefuls extracurricular activities matters more than the number of activities he or she participates in.Sue Rexford,the director of college guidance at the Charles E.Smith Jewish Day School,says it is not necessary for a student filling out the Common Application to list 10activities in the application.“No college will expect that a student has a huge laundry list of extracurriculars that they have been passionately involved in each for an extended period of time.”Rexford wrote in an email.Experts say it is tougher to distinguish oneself in a school-atfiliated extracurricular activity that is common among high school students than it is to stand out while doing an uncommon activity.“The competition to stand out and make an impact is going to be much stiffer,and so if they're going to do a popular activity,I'd say,be the best at it,"says Saa Harberson,a college admissions consultant.High school students who have an impressive personal project they are working on independently often impress colleges,experts say.“For example,a student with an interest in entrepreneurship could demonstrate skill and potential by starting a profitable small business,"Olivia Valdes,the founder of Zen Admissions consulting firm,wrote in an email.Joseph Adegboyega-Edun,a Maryland high school guidance counselor,ss unconventional extracuricular activities can help students impress college admissions otics assuming they demonstrated serious commitment.“Again,since one of the big qucstions high school seniors must consider is‘What makes you unique?,`having an uncommon extracurricular activity vs.a conventional one is an advantage,"he wrote in an email.英语(二)试题.11、(共14页)Experts say demonstrating talent in at least one extracurricular activity can help in the college admissions process,especially at top-tier undergraduate institutions.“Distinguishing yourself in one focused type of extracurricular activity can be a positive in the admissions process,espccially for highly selective institutions,where having top grades and test scores is not enough,”Katie Kelley,admissions counselor at IvyWise admissions consultancy,wrote in an email.“Students need to have that quality or hook that will appeal to admissions officers and allow them to visualize how the student might come and enrich their campus community.”Extracurricular activities related to the college major declared on a college application are beneficial,experts suggest.“If you already know your major,having an extracurricular that fits into that major can be a big plus,”says Mayghin Levine,the manager of educational opportunities with The Cabbage Patch Settlement House,a Louisville,Kentucky,nonprofit community center.High school students who have had a strong positive influence on their community through an extracurricular activity may impress a college and win a scholarship,says Erica Gwyn,a former math and science magnet program assistant at a public high school who is now executive director of the Kaleidoscope Careers Academy in Atlanta, a nonprofit organization.[A]Students who stand out in a specific extracurricularactivity will be favored by top-tier institutions.41.Sue Rexford [B]Students whose extracurricular activity has benefited their community are likely to win a scholarship.42.Sara Harberson [C]Undertaking too many extracurricular activities will hardly be seen as a plus by colleges.43.Katie Kelley [D]A student who exhibits abilities in doing business can impress colleges.44.Mayghin Levine [E]High school students participating in a popular activity should excel in it.45.Erica Gwyn [F]Engaging in uncommon activities can demonstrate students'determination and dedication.[G]It is advisable for students to choose an extracurricular activity that is related to their future study at college.英语(二)试题.12.(共14页)SectionⅢTranslation46.Directions:Translate the following text into Chinese.Write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET.(15points)With the smell of coffee and fresh bread floating in the air,stalls bursting with colourful vegetables and tempting cheeses,and the buzz of friendly chats,farmers' markets are a feast for the senses.They also provide an opportunity to talk to the people responsible for growing or raising your food,support your local economy and pick up fresh seasonal produce—all at the same time.Farmers'markets are usually weekly or monthly events,most often with outdoor stalls,which allow farmers or producers to sell their food directly to customers.The size or regularity of markets can vary from season to season,depending on the area's agricultural calendar,and you're likely to find different produce on sale at different times of the year.By cutting out the middleman,the farmers secure more profit for their produce.Shoppers also
