A. give rise to innovations

【21】C. benefit people equally 解析：该题为细节题，题干问Coyle在自己的新书对于经济增长的看法。由关键词Coyle、new book和economy growth可定位到第一段第二句“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.该句提到，经济增长是让事物朝着好的方向发展，而且这种发展更应该被平等地分享。evenly shared对应benefit equally，故C项正确。

A. bring about instant prosperity

B. reduce people’s workload

C. raise overall work efficiency

D. enhance cross-sector cooperation

【22】C. raise overall work efficiency 解析：该题为细节题，题干问第二段提到数字技术应该被用来做什么。由关键词digital economy可定位到第二段第一句“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.”该句提到，更多的人需要应用数字技术来提升不同部门的生产效率。boost productivity对应raise work efficiency，故C项正确。

B. They may be impractical to deploy.

C. They may incur huge expenditure.

D. They may be unwelcome to the public.

【23】D. They may be unwelcome to the public. 解析：该题为细节题，题干问Coyle在转变技术上担心什么。由关键词Coyle、fear和transformative technologies可定位到第三段第二句，但此句中these提示做题线索在前文，即第三段第一句“In a recent interview with MIT Technology Review, Coyle said she fears that tech’s inequality problem could be a roadblock to deploying AI.”该句提到Coyle担心技术不平等问题会成为运用AI的障碍，再结合上文内容“But people can’t be expected to embrace the changes if they’re not seeing the benefits”可知，由于人们看不到利益好处，所以他们可能不会接受变化。综上，技术不平等让人们无法受益，也势必会造成人们对这种技术的不欢迎，故D项正确。

A. the uneven distribution of AI technologies in the US

B. the disappointing prospect of tech jobs in the US

C. the fast progress of US regional economies.

【24】A. the uneven distribution of AI technologies in the US 解析：该题为例证题，题干问一些美国城市被提到证明什么。由关键词several American cities可定位到第六段，但此处为论据本身，其论点位于前一句，即第五段最后一句“New, well-paying tech jobs were clustered in a few cities.”该句提到，一些新的高薪职位在少数城市中汇集，即工作分布不均衡。clustered in a few cities对应uneven distribution，故A项正确。

25. With regard to Coyle’s concern the author suggests ______.

A. raising funds to start new AI projects

B. encouraging collaboration in AI research

C. guarding against the side effects of AI

Confor is now calling for much greater impetus behind those aspirations to ensure we have enough wood to meet increasing demand.”该段提到虽然英国政府阐明了种植更多树木的决心，但是一直没有采取行动，对此，Confor呼吁政府在这些决心的背后能够提供更多的动力以确保木材能够得到持续供应，故C项正确。

Part B

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 hopeful's 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 lo activities 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," Rexfon d 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 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 Sara Harherson, 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 with an interest in entrepreneurship could demonstrate skills 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, says unconventional, extracurricular activities can help students, impress college admissions offices, assuming they demonstrated serious commitment."Again, since one of the big questions. high school seniors muse consider is "What makes you unique?" having an uncommon, extracurricular activity, a conventional one is an advantage," he wrote in an email.

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, especially for highly selective institutions, where having top grades and test scores is not enough,” Katie Kelley admissions counselor at Ivy Wise 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.

【41】C Sue Rexford 出现在文章的第3段和第4段，文章 has a huge laundry list of extracurricular activities 与选项 Undertaking too many extracurricular activities 对应;No college will expect that 与选项 will hardly be seen as a plus by colleges 对应。

【42】E Sara Harbenson 出现在文章第6段，文章 they 与选项 High school students 对应;文章 be the best at it 与选项 should excel in it对应;文章 do a popular activity 与选项 participating in a popular activity 对应。

【43】A Katie Kalley 出现在文章的第11段，文章 Distinguishing yourself in one focused type of extracurricular activity 与选项 Students who stands out in a specific extracurricular activity 对应;文章 can be a positive in the admissions process, especially for highly selective institutions 与选项 will be favored by top-tier institutions 对应。

【44】G Mayghin Leuine 出现在文章的倒数第二段，文章 Extracurricular activities related to the college major declared on a college application 与选项 an extracurricular activity that is related to their future study at college 以及 having an extracurricular that fits into that major 对应;文章 are beneficial 和 can be a big plus 与选项 It is advisable 对应。

【45】B Erica Gwyn 出现在文章的最后一段，文章 students 和 extracurricular activity 在选项中复现;文章 had a strong positive influence on their community 与选项 has benefited their community 对应;文章 may win a scholarship 与选项 are likely to win a scholarship 对应。
