About three decades ago, China was known as the “Bicycle Kingdom”. But later on, bikes were replaced by their fuel-powered competitors.
But recent months have seen a recovery of the humble bike across China, with an increasing number of people choosing cycling instead of driving to schools, to workplaces or to do sightseeing. The introduction of bike-sharing schemes, pioneered by start-ups like Ofo and Mobike, has brought the trend to a new level.
People can unlock the shared bikes by simply using their smartphone. The bikes are equipped with GPS and can be left anywhere in public for the next user. They’re popular among many Chinese people as they provide an effective solution to the “last mile” problem, which refers to the final leg of a person’s journey.
“ In places where the subway doesn’t extend, where it’s difficult to change from one kind of transport to another, it’s so easy to get where you want to go with Mobike,” Hu Hong, 29, told AFP. She pedals(骑车)to her Shanghai real-estate job.
However, the schemes have also led to problems such as illegal parking, vandalism(故意毁坏) and theft. Last month，two nurses in Beijing were placed under administrative punishment for five days for putting locks on two shared bikes. And in December, a man who stole a shared bike was sentenced to a 3-month detention(拘留)，and fined 1 ,000 yuan by the Shanghai Minhang People’s Court.
“ Bike-sharing is a greener method of transportation and provides a user-friendly experience，”said Liu Xiaoming，vice-minister of transport.
“ But it’s a combination of online and offline business. Operators are usually strong in online services, but lack offline business experience, which causes problems. ”
Now, Chinese service operators are trying to handle the problems. For example, a bike- sharing company called Mobike sets a 100-point credit score for each user, with points taken in ihe case of bad behavior. Once a score drops below 80，bike rental is increased to 100 yuan per 30 minutes, up from 0.5 - 1 yuan.
25. Which of the following belongs to the “last mile” problem?
A. Missing the business plane for the traffic jam.
B. To get to somewhere the subway can reach.
C. Having troubles in changing from bus to taxi.
D. To remove the last rock in the way.
26. What reason causes many problems in bike-sharing?
A.Some people make damage to the bikes on purpose.
B. Operators lack offline business experience.
C. The bike-sharing business is too complicated to run.
D. There are no relative laws on this business.
27. Why do the bike-sharing systems catch on?
A.They are very effective. B.They can be picked up anywhere.
C.They are equipped with GPS. D.They help solve the last mile problem.
28. What’s the best title for this passage?
A.Bickes Pedaling Back Into Styles
B.A New Way of Transportations
C. Riding a Mobicycle for Free
D. Bicycle Kingdom Became Famous Again
C
A business school in Paris will soon begin using artificial intelligence and facial analysis to determine whether students are paying attention in class. The software，called Nestor，is used in two online classes at the ESG business school beginning in September.
The idea，according to LCA founder Marcel Saucet, is to use the data that Nestor collects to improve the perfomiiince of both students and professors. The software use students webcams (网络摄像机）to analyze eye movements and facial expressions and determine whether students are paying attention to a video lecture. It then formulates quizzes ( 小测验) based on the content covered during moments of inattentiveness. Professors would also be able to identify moments when students’ attention waned (衰退),which could help to improve their teaching, Saucet says.
Advocates for AI in education say that the software is actually unable to teach a course， but the technology could be used as a digital tutor that would adapt to a student s individual needs，and help develop more effective studying habits. Such software could also help teachers by providing feedback on the effectiveness of their teaching, advocates say.
Saucet says Nestor won’t store any of the video footage it gets and that his company has no plans to sell any other data the software collects. In addition to facial recognition and analysis, the software can integrate(合并)with students’ calendars to suggest possible study times, and track their online behavior to pick up on patterns.
Rose Luckin, a professor at the University College London Knowledge Lab, says AI could unlock the “black box of learning” by providing information on how and when learning happens. Luckin says a program like Nestor could be useful for students who take classes remotely , since “there isn’t a human there watching them”. And while some are concerned that AI may one day replace teachers，Luckin sees the technology more as an assistant，rather than a replacement. Saucet agrees. “Human contact is not going to go away,” he says. “There will always be professors.”
29. How does Nestor work to find out when students aren’t paying attention?
A. By collecting the data of students in different classes.
B. By analyzing eye movements and facial expressions.
C. By collecting the thoughts of students of the same age.
D. By identifying moments when students，attention waned.
30. Which is the benefit of AI education?[来源:学。科。网]
A.It could be used exactly as a tutor.
B. The software is able to teach a course in fact.
C. It helps to develop more effective studying habits.
D. It could help recycle teachers’ teaching.
31. How does Nestor deal with the information collected from students?
Nestor will store it.
A. It’ll be kept from being stolen.
B. The company will sell the data to other corporations.
C.The company will sell the date to other corporations.
D.Nestor will use it for suggesimg possible stuay times.
32. What can we learn from Rose Luckin’s words?
A. Nestor could help the students who take remote classes.
B. AI will finally replace teachers one day in the future.
C. AI could provide information on learning or people’s needs.
D. There would be no technology without human contacts.[来源:学,科,网Z,X,X,K]

Password fatigue (疲劳)is the feeling experienced by many people who are required to remember an increasing number of passwords as part of their daily routine, such as to logon(登陆)to a computer at work, unlock a Dicycle or conauct DanKing irom an Aim. ine concept is also known as password chaos or more broadly as identity chaos.
The increasing importance of information technology and the Internet in employment, finance，recreation and other aspects of people’s lives，and the following introduction of secure deal technology, has led to people accumulating a sudden increase in accounts and passwords. According to a 2002 survey of British online-security consultant NTA Monitor, the typical regular computer user has 21 accounts that require a password.
Other things causing passwords fatigue are ： unexpected demands that a user creates a new password that uses particular pattern of letters，digits，and special characters ； demands that the user types the new password twice； blind typing，both when responding to a password immediately and when setting a new password.
Aside from contributing to stress, password fatigue may encourage people to adopt habits that reduce the security of their protected information. For example, an account holder might use the same password for several different accounts, deliberately choose easy-to-remember passwords that are more likely to be solved, or rely on written records of their passwords.
Password fatigue will typically affect users, but can also affect technical departments who manage user accounts as they are constantly resetting passwords ； this situation ends up lowering
confidence and enthusiasm in both cases.
Some companies are well organized in this respect and have employed alternative methods or adopted technologies so that a user’s certificates are entered automatically，but others may not focus on ease of use or even worsen the situation by constantly using new applications with their own certification system.
33. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2 ?
A.Reasons for password fatigue. B. Definition of password fatigue.
C.Roles of the Internet in daily life. D. A survey on regular computer users.
34.What may password fatigue cause people to do?
A. To choose complex passwords. B. To save their momey.
C.To use the same passwords. D. To learn passwords by heart.
35. When you may suffer from password fatigue.
A. you buy clothes in cash B.you reset a new password
C.you create a special character D.you use protected information
