thought.
The next morning,one of the first to6was my little frostbitten boy.Not only did he run in with
energy,but his7could be heard as loud as ever!I gave him a warm hug and told him how 8 I
was to see him.His words have stayed with me all these years,"I knew you would open the door."
That cold Monday morning,he waited a long,long while for adults to 9.To a child,every minute
feels like forever.He didn't attempt to walk back home;he waited and trusted.This five-year-old taught me a
powerful lesson in10.

Peer (Assisted Study Sessions (PASS)is a peer-facilitated learning programme available to
students enrolled in most core units of study in our business school.
PASS involves weekly sessions where you work in groups to tackle specially prepared problem sets,
based around a unit of study you're enrolled in.
PASS doesn't re-teach or deliver new content.It's an opportunity to deepen your understanding of the
key points from lecture materials while you are applying your skills to solve problems.
You work interactively with your peers.As a peer group,you decide what is covered in each session.
That way,PASS directly responds to your needs and feedback.
Registration in Term 2 will open at 9 am,21 September 2022.
Waiting lists
If a session is full,you can register for the waiting list.We will email you if a place becomes available
or if a new session is to be held.
219
When you are placed on a waiting list,we will email you a number which tells you where you are on the
list.If you are close to the front of the list,you have a good chance of gaining a place in the programme in the
near future.
Deregistering
If you miss two PASS sessions in a row,you will be deregistered and your place will be given to
someone on the waiting list.Make sure you fill in the attendance sheet at each session to record your
attendance.
You'll be informed by email if you are being deregistered as a result of missing sessions.If you believe
you have received the email in error,email the PASS office at passoffice@umbs.edu.
21.In PASS,students
A.attend new lectures
B.decide their own schedules
C.use their skills to solve problems
D.prepare problem sets in groups
22.What can students do if a session is full?
A.Sign up for the waiting list.
B.Fill in the attendance sheet.
C.Report their needs and feedback.
D.Email the office their numbers on the list.
23.Students will be deregistered if

My name is Alice.Early last year,I was troubled by an anxiety that crippled (my ability to do
anything.I felt like a storm cloud hung over me.For almost a year I struggled on,constantly staring at this
wall that faced me.My perfectionist tendencies were the main root of this:I wanted to be perfect at whatever
I did,which obviously in life is not possible,but it consumed me.
One day,I attended a presentation by wildlife conservationist Grant Brown at my high school.His
presentation not only awed and inspired me,but also helped emerge an inner desire to make a difference in
the world.I joined a pre-presentation dinner with him and that smaller setting allowed me to slowly build up
my courage to speak one-on-one with him-an idea that had seemed completely impossible.This first contact
was where my story began.
3/9
A month later,Brown invited me to attend the World Youth Wildlife Conference.Looking back,I now
see that this would be the first in a series of timely opportunities that my old self would have let pass,but that
this new and more confident Alice enthusiastically seized.Shortly after I received his invitation,applications
to join the Youth for Nature and the Youth for Planet groups were sent around through my high school.I
decided to commit to completing the applications,and soon I was a part of a growing global team of young
people working to protect nature.Each of these new steps continued to grow my confidence.
I am writing this just six months since my jourey began and I've realised that my biggest obstacle
)this whole time was myself.It was that voice in the back of my head telling me that one phrase that has
stopped so many people from reaching their potential:I can't.They say good things come to those who wait;
I say:grab every opportunity with everything you have and be impatient.After all,nature does not require
our patience,but our action.
24.What was the main cause for Alice's anxiety?
A.Her inability to act her age.
B.Her habit of consumption.
C.Her lack of inspiration.
D.Her desire to be perfect.
25.How did Grant Brown's presentation influence Alice?
A.She tasted the sweetness of friendship.
B.She decided to do something for nature.
C.She learned about the harm of desire.
D.She built up her courage to speak up.
26.The activities Alice joined in helped her to become more
A.confident
B.intelligent
C.innovative
D.critical
27.What can we learn from this passage?
A.Practice makes perfect.
B.Patience is a cure of anxiety.
C.Everything comes to those who wait.
D.Action is worry's worst enemy.
"What would the world be if there were no hunger?"It's a question that Professor Crystal would ask her
students.They found it hard to answer,she wrote later,because imagining something that isn't part of real
life-and learning how to make it real-is a rare skill.It is taught to artists and engineers,but much less often
419
to scientists.Crystal set out to change that,and helped to create a global movement.The result-an pproach
known as systems thinking-is now seen as essential in meeting global challenges.
Systems thinking is crucial to achieving targets such as zero hunger and better nutrition because it
requires considering the way in which food is produced,processed,delivered and consumed,and looking t
how those things intersect (with human health,the environment,economics and society.According to
systems thinking,changing the food system-or any other network-requires three things to happen.First,
researchers need to identify all the players in that system;second,they must work out how they relate to each
other;and third,they need to understand and quantify the impact of those relationships on each other and on
those outside the system.
Take nutrition.In the latest UN report on global food security,the number of undernourished (
people in the world has been rising,despite great advances in nutrition science.Tracking of 150 biochemicals
in food has been important in revealing the relationships between calories,sugar,fat and the occurrence of
common diseases.But using machine learning and artificial intelligence,some scientists propose that human
diets consist of at least 26,000 biochemicals-and that the vast majority are not known.This shows that we
have some way to travel before achieving the first objective of systems thinking-which,in this examples,is to
identify more constituent part of the nutrition system.
A systems approach to creating change is also built on the assumption that everyone in the system has
equal power.But as some researchers find,the food system is not an equal one.A good way to redress()
such power imbalance is for more universities to do what Crystal did and teach students how to think using a
systems approach.
More researchers,policymakers and representatives from the food industry must learn to look beyond
their direct lines of responsibility and adopt a systems approach.Crystal knew that visions alone don't
produce results,but concluded that "we'll never produce results that we can't envision".
28.The author uses the question underlined in Paragraph 1 to
A.illustrate an argument B.highlight an opinion
C.predict the ending
D.introduce the topic
29.What can be inferred about the field of nutritien?
A.The relationships among players have been clarified.
B.The first objective of systems thinking hasn't been achieved.
C.Machine learning can solve the nutrition problem.
D.The impact of nutrition cannot be quantified.
30.As for systems thinking,which would the author agree with?
A.It can be applied to tackle challenges.
B.It may be used to justify power imbalance.
5/9
(It helps to prove why hunger exists.
D.It goes beyond human imagination.

Quantum (computers have been on my mind a lot lately.A friend has been sending me articles on
how quantum computers might help solve some of the biggest challenges we face as humans.I've also had
exchanges with two quantum-computing experts.One is computer scientist Chris Johnson who I see as
someone who helps keep the field honest.The other is physicist Philip Taylor.
For decades,quantum computing has been little more than a laboratory curiosity.Now,big tech
companies have invested in quantum computing,as have many smaller ones.According to Business Weekly,
quantum machines could help us "cure cancer,and even take steps to turn climate change in the opposite
direction."This is the sort of hype (that annoys Johnson.He worries that researchers are making
promises they can't keep."What's new,"Johnson wrote,"is that millions of dollars are now potentially
available to quantum computing researchers."
As quantum computing attracts more attention and funding,researchers may mislead investors,
journalists,the public and,worst of all,themselves about their work's potential.If researchers can't keep
their promises,excitement might give way to doubt,disappointment and anger,Johnson warns.Lots of other
technologies have gone through stages of excitement.But something about quantum computing makes it
especially prone to hype,Johnson suggests,perhaps because "quantum'stands for something cool you
shouldn't be able to understand."And that brings me back to Taylor,who suggested that I read his book Q
for Quantum.
After I read the book,Taylor patiently answered my questions about it.He also answered my questions
about PyQuantum,the firm he co-founded in 2016.Taylor shares Johnson's concerns about hype,but he says
those concerns do not apply to PyQuantum.
The company,.he says,is closer than any other firm“by a very large margin(幅度)”to building a
"useful"quantum computer,one that"solves an impactful problem that we would not have been able to solve
otherwise."He adds,"People will naturally discount my opinions,but I have spent a lot of time quantitatively
comparing what we are doing with others."
Could PyQuantum really be leading all the competition"by a wide margin",as Taylor claims?I don't
know.I'm certainly not going to advise my friend or anyone else to invest in quantum computers.But I trust
Taylor,just as I trust Johnson.
31.Regarding Johnson's concerns,the author feels
A.unconcerned
B.sympathetic
C.doubtful
D.excited
32.What leads.to Taylor's optimism about quantum computing?
A.His dominance in physics.
B.The competition in the field.
6/9
C.The investment of tech companies.
D.His confidence in PyQuantum.
33.What does the underlined word"prone"in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A.Cool.
B.Open.
C.Usefiul.
D.Resistant.
34.Which would be the best title for the passage?
A.Is Johnson More Competent Than Taylor?
B.Is Quantum Computing Redefining Technology?
C.Will Quantum Computing Ever Live Up to Its Hype?
D.Will Quantum Computers Ever Come into Being?

Tom,a 15-year-old inventor and entrepreneur ()witnessed at his own school the widespread
consumption of sugary drinks by kids.He knew there had to be a better portable drink solution and decided to
innovate from something he saw in his own home:fruit infused()water.
Tom watched his mum make healthy fruit infusions but then struggle for a take-along option.From
observing his mum and from his desire to give kids better drink options,he came up with his original model
for the Fun Bottle."I wanted to come up with a healthy,natural way for people to drink when on the go.A
big part of my mission is to get people of all ages off sugary drinks,"Tom explains.
The bottle is made with a strainer (that allows the great tastes and natural sugars of the various
fruits and vegetables you choose to come through the water,without any of the seeds or skins flowing
through.
Tom is proud of his design and excited to be selling the Fun Bottle on his website and in stores,but this
15-year-old is most proud of the opportunities that Fun Bottle presents to others.It helps to provide healthy
alternatives to sugary drinks;and also Tom donates part of the profits to the Organisation for a Healthier
Generation(OHG).
Tom has been awarded several prizes,but this teenage innovator remains humble.When asked what
advice he'd give other entrepreneurial youth,he says,"Prepare and have your family's support.It is
important to know from the beginning that there are a lot of highs and lows,and there is no such thing as
overnight success.”
40.What did Tom witness at his own school?
41.Where did Tom get the idea for the original model for the Fun Bottle?
42.Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why.
Tom is most proud of the opportunities that Fun Bottle presents to others because he not only provides
healthy alternatives to sugary drinks but also donates all the profits to the OHG.
43.Among Tom's qualities,which one(s)do you think will be important for us?Why?(In about 40 words)
