In France, ninth graders must have a one-week work experience to explore a field of interest. Since I’m interested in economics (经济学), I chose to ___1___ at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (经济合作与发展组织，简称OECD) this summer.

We all know what bus drivers and teachers do, as we ___2___ them every day. But what about economists? Do they spend all day working with ___3___?

I talked to several economists. I even had the chance to interview Stefano Scarpetta, the OECD’s best economist. Everyone ___4___ answered my questions.

I learned that an economist’s work often starts with a simple question: “Is something working as well as it should?” For example, they may wonder why production is ___5___ but brings in less money. After that, they carefully collect ___6___ and use it to support or challenge their ideas. After that, economists look for ways to solve the problems. They may give some advice and explain it to the people who could ___7___ from it.

Through the ___8___, I also learned that economics is about more than just numbers. It’s a way of thinking about the world. This partly explains why there are no born economists here. One person studied philosophy (哲学) in college. Another played a musical instrument for ten years. A third used to work for the Canadian government. Today, they all work at the OECD. People with ___9___ experiences can study and work in this same field as long as they are interested in it and want to learn.

第一节  阅读下列短文，从下面每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。（共15小题，每小题1.5分）

A

Ryley, a nine-year-old boy living in England, has autism (自闭症). He has loved buses since he was two years old. The numbers on the buses became his first teacher, and by the time he went to school, he could already count to 1,000. His family even had to change the number cards on the wall at home, which only went from 1 to 20.

By the age of seven, Ryley knew every bus line near his home. Show him a bus passing by and he can tell its make (品牌) and type at once; he even knows which ones have Wi-Fi. “I like looking out of the window and seeing where we’re going,” he said. For Ryley, buses are more than a way to travel.

This summer, Ryley and his grandmother Mandy are planning something big. They will travel by bus across Britain, from John O’Groats to Land’s End, celebrating his tenth birthday. In 23 days, they will take 60 different buses, hoping to collect £10,000 for a group that helps children with autism. They hope they can do their bit in caring for these children as well. Their trip will start on a Saturday in July, and although they will be away for more than three weeks, the two are taking only two bags.

Mandy says the trip will not be easy. She herself does not walk well, but she is proud of her grandson and wants to go with him. “I love going on the trips with him and seeing him smile,” she said. For Ryley, though, the trip is not about the money, but about doing what he loves with someone he loves.

A. The kind people in England. B. His first teacher at school.

C. The numbers on buses. D. The number cards on the wall.

12. What can we infer about Ryley from paragraph 2?

A. He only takes buses with Wi-Fi home. B. He knows much about the buses nearby.

C. He goes to school by bus every day. D. He sees buses only as a way to travel.

13. Why are Ryley and Mandy planning the long bus trip?

A. To celebrate Ryley’s ninth birthday. B. To help Mandy walk and see better.

C. To collect money and help other children. D. To spend four weeks away from home.

14. What can we know about Mandy from the passage?

A. She walks well and enjoys long bus trips.

B. She finished the bus trip with Ryley last year.

C. She wants to teach Ryley how to travel by bus.

D. She is proud of Ryley and wants to go with him.

15. What is the passage mainly about?

A. How to travel around Britain by bus. B. Why children with autism need help.

C. A boy’s love for buses and his big dream. D. A grandmother’s busy life in England.

SmartBlink is an AI traffic light system. Common signals are made for cars, but SmartBlink watches people. It reads a person’s first few steps and guesses how long it will take to cross the road. If a signal usually lasts 20 seconds and one person needs 34, the system simply adds 14 more. It always follows the slowest walker. In this way, nobody is left behind when crossing the road.

The system also notices people in wheelchairs or those walking with sticks, who need more time. It keeps watching the road day and night, so a person crossing at night is given the same care as one during the day.

The idea came from Jay Jung, 18, who grew up with his grandparents in Seoul, South Korea (韩国首尔).Walking around the city with them as a child, he found they often could not cross in time. “We were not even halfway when the light turned red,” he said. Those lights, he later saw, were made for cars, not for people. At first he did not think he could do much, but after becoming interested in technology in junior high school, he decided to do something. Now a senior high school student in the United States, he is working to make it real.

His idea has won him a medal and $6,000 at an international science competition. SmartBlink has not been used
