" 5G could also enable (3) (the wide adoption of a new generation of self-driving cars) It would connect autonomous vehicles in a way where they could talk to one another. It would also link a network of sensors built around a city, so that these cars would be able to drive around without bumping into other vehicles or hitting people. Baidu, the Chinese search engine company, successfully tested a self-driving car connected to a 5G network in March 2018. And in September, the Chinese government and China Mobile launched the country’s first 5G autonomous vehicle test site in Beijing with a 2.2-kilometre track. \n" +
" 5G would also bring video game to a new level with (4) (an enhanced VR experience that includes the sense of touch). It would also allow games to be stored via cloud computing and streamed to any device with the same performance levels as console-based games.\n" +

"Reference answer： Although the word engineer always arouses a sense of pride and it's worth being an engineer, many people still lack a deeper understanding of what engineering is from a historical point of view. Engineering is a stream of science that has helped humans shape the world and will continue to do so. As the author tells us, engineering is the application of science to solve real-word problems, and engineers, as practitioners of engineering, are problem solvers who use their expertise in science. As we trace back in time, we can easily see the influences of engineers, past and present, on the world we are living in. Engineers are the special spectrum of people who take delight in creating order from disorder and move the world forward.\n" +
"Engineering is a broad field that is divided into various disciplines and sub-disciplines, but there exist only six main categories: mechanical engineering, civil engineering, chemical engineering, petroleum engineering, electrical/electronic engineering, and aerospace engineering. Engineers differ from scientists in that they create that which has never been, while scientists investigate that which already is. However, both scientists and engineers complement each other and make contributions to our society. Although engineering is a great field to get into, an engineering career might not be a good fit for everyone.\n" +

"Reference answer： Artificial intelligence (AI) is spreading through our lives, and it has made a surprising impact on human creativity. To begin with, a case in point is AlphaGo. The Google system relied on its own creative intelligence to design a winning chess move and beat the world’s reigning champion at Go in 2016. Nowadays AI continues influencing creativity across industries. In the manufacturing industry, AI can learn creativity from mountains of datasets and quickly produce large arrays of solutions to tough problems. In the music industry, AI gives musicians the ability to better understand their own creative process and themselves so as to help them become even more creative. Besides, music pieces generated by AI are socially accepted as well. Similarly, AI in the visual art industry is also adopted as a tool to shape creative strategies. Arts, with the assistance of AI, now can be tailored to popular tastes. In the gaming industry, AI releases human from mundane TASKs so that people can focus on more creative ones. Creative as it seems, what AI does is controlled in nature. In the near future, AI is expected to become more creative and contributing, and even interact with players in the games. To conclude, AI is challenging the possibilities of creation and giving us more understanding of creativity.\n" +

"\t1. One of the greatest challenges that the energy transition presents is for fossil fuel-producing countries, many of which are countries that have run their economies on these resources in the past, to adopt a new, diversified, economic model. (Para. 4)\n" +
"Your answer：\n" +
"Reference answer： 能源转型所带来的最大挑战之一是，化石燃料生产国——其中许多是过去依靠这些资源发展经济的国家——要采取一种新的多样化的经济模式。\n" +
"2. If you think of the possibilities that a fast-moving energy transition has for the prices of fossil fuel resources, and the impact it could have on countries like Nigeria, Angola, Gabon and others that are highly dependent on these resources, then unless they have ambitious strategies of economic diversification, they could face some severe challenges in the near future. (Para. 7)\n" +
"Your answer：\n" +
"Reference answer： 如果你想到快速的能源转型对化石燃料资源价格的影响，以及它可能对尼日利亚、安哥拉、加蓬和其他高度依赖这些资源的国家的影响，那么除非这些国家有雄心勃勃的经济多样化战略，否则它们在不久的将来可能会面临一些严峻的挑战。\n" +
"3. You have leaders in this field, like Morocco, which is coming from a 90 per cent energy import dependency to a target of having 52 per cent renewables in their electricity mix by 2030—which is an extraordinary achievement. (Para. 12)\n" +
"Your answer：\n" +
"Reference answer： 在这一领域，有一些国家处于领先地位，比如摩洛哥，该国正从90%的能源进口依赖转向到2030年可再生能源在其电力结构中占52%的目标——这是一个非凡的成就。\n" +
"4. Renewables have the added potential to mitigate against wider socio-economic stresses and shocks that can lead to conflict too: by improving access to energy to the 1 billion people who are energy-poor, by creating jobs, reducing local pollution, promoting sustainable development and alleviating competition over scarce natural resources. (Para. 18)\n" +
"Your answer：\n" +
"Reference answer： 可再生能源还有额外的潜力，即通过改善10亿能源贫困人口的能源供应，通过创造就业机会、减少当地污染、促进可持续发展和减轻对稀缺自然资源的竞争，可以缓解更广泛的社会经济压力和冲击，这些压力和冲击也可能导致冲突。\n" +
"5. But then if you think about how technology is beginning to reshape the global economy, if we move rapidly into the renewable energy-based electrification of the economy—where major sectors like mobility become increasingly electric—then you could see the whole supply chain of conventional vehicles that employs millions of people around the world, with hundreds of billions of dollars of investment, very quickly begin to experience significant challenges. (Para. 22)\n" +
"Your answer：\n" +
"Reference answer： 但是，如果你想一想技术如何开始重塑全球经济，如果我们迅速进入基于可再生能源的经济电气化——在这个经济体中，像交通这样的主要部门变得越来越电气化——那么你可以看到在全球雇佣数百万人、拥有数千亿美元投资的整个传统汽车供应链很快就开始面临重大挑战。\n" +

"Directions：Write a summary of Passage B in about 200 words.\n" +
"\tYour answer：\n" +
"Reference answer： The world is shifting from an energy system based on fossil fuels to one based on renewable energy. Director-General of the International Renewable Energy Agency, Adnan Z. Amin, talks about how this transition is set to disrupt the geopolitical landscape.\n" +
"Because almost every country will have some degree of energy independence in the new system, this transition is going to have a profound impact on the global economy, thus having the potential to reshape the geopolitical landscape. In order to remain as energy players, some fossil fuel-producing countries are ready to embrace an economic diversification strategy. Emerging economies are already responding well to this transition, which can be seen from renewables capacity addition. Renewable energy is the “defence policy of the future” as it will reduce the risk of confrontation over limited hydrocarbon reserves, combat climate change and mitigate against wider socio-economic stresses and shocks. However, policymakers and decision-makers need to understand the impact of this transition on the fossil fuel industries and those working in them, and come up with coping strategies to create a workforce fit for the future.\n" +

"TASK 8\n" +
"Directions：Write a summary of Passage B in about 200 words.\n" +
"\tYour answer：\n" +
"Reference answer： Designers have been using computer-based tools for design and fabrication for many years. With the power of computing tools, computers have become more than just manufacturing tools, but have evolved into indispensable thinking tools. With their unique logic, computers can solve more and more human problems. The main difference between the way we think and the way computers solve problems is that our brain was never hard-wired for big data. When dealing with too many facts and data, we have to compress them into shorter notations or adopt the method of classification. It may lead to the loss of information in the process. Compared with humans, computers are superior in computation and data processing and they can search without sorting. Because of these properties, in the field of architecture, computers can notate every brick of a building and micro-design each minute particle of a building, which may save plenty of building material, energy, labor and money and can deliver buildings that are better fit to spec. Although computers have advantages over humans in big data, no machine-learning system can optimize all parameters of a design process in the meantime, only designers can. Coping with computer’s way of thinking will be the challenge of postindustrial design, but fears of competition coming from Artificial Intelligence may be unnecessary.\n" +

" In the context of Wireless Sensor Networks, the Internet of Things involves a large 1. (C)of competing technologies 2. (B) the transport of information at different levels of the communication process, including physical, network, transport and application layer protocols. From a full analysis, it is regarded that a WSN can be made up of four main 3.

Sensors and actuators in WSNs are 4. (N)deployed in marginal environments in which wireless channels are affected by heavy bursty packet loss due to multipath fading.

(F) properties for protocols, such as Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT), Extensive Messaging and Presence Protocol (EMPP), Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) and Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP).\n" +
" MQTT is a lightweight transport protocol based on the subscription/notification paradigm with the characteristics of small size, low power usage and efficient distribution of information to 6. (I) receivers. It relies on Transport Control Protocol (TCP); therefore, in certain environments of high packet loss, its overall application latency becomes impractical because of retransmissions. EMPP is a communication protocol for message exchange that has been 7. (A) for use in IoT applications by means of protocol extensions. As MQTT innately relies on TCP for transport and on the Extensible Markup Language (EML) for message encoding, it has some 8. (H) limitations that make it inefficient in certain environments. AMQP is a message exchange protocol adapted for use in IoT applications that provides 9. (J) as well as security. As it also relies on TCP for transport, it is highly affected by packet loss, causing excessive latency in marginal environment. CoAP is a 10. (L) web transfer protocol with constrained nodes and constrained networks. It provides a request and response model between endpoints and supports built-in discovery of services and resources. CoAP is 11. (E) to easily interface with Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTP) to integrate with the Web while meeting specialized requirements, such as multicast support, low overhead and complexity in constrained environments.\n" +
" Compared to the aforementioned protocols, one 12. (K) difference of CoAP is that it relies on UDP for transport and therefore is not 13. (M) to the same limitations of packet loss that are found in certain wireless environments. This paper focuses on a mathematical model to analyze the 14. (G) of the transport mechanisms used by CoAP to support delivery of sensor data. In this model, close forms of application packet loss and latency are obtained and then compared against experimental 15. (O) that result from a predefined validation framework.\n" +

"\tYour answer：\n" +
"Reference answer： Thanks to digital technologies, the smart cities of the future offer their inhabitants the comforts of metropolitan living combined with the benefits of rural life and returning to cities has been an option of people who once moved to the countryside. What changes have taken place in urban life? First of all, in big cities, smart buildings become a norm. Each building is networked to the eaves and embedded within City Intelligent Platforms, which are used to process vast volumes of data from sensor networks. All the information constitutes a virtual digital ecosystem that administers itself. Meanwhile, the building has become a high-performance energy supplier. People can store energy from the solar panels on the façade and wind generators on the roof. As global networking expanded, people could do almost everything at home. While this reduces emissions, it makes people lonely and unhappy. The advent of holographic studio solves the problem. It helps people to meet and eat in the virtual space. In addition, self-service system is everywhere. For example, when the ingredients for a cake in the bakery are out of stock, the autonomous supply vehicle can fill up itself without receiving instructions. All in all, the development of science and technology, along with the popularity of the Internet have made life convenient in many ways and improve people’s quality of life.\n" +
