2．Tabichi's father，uncle，and cousins have all worked as teacjye.airs.He could see that his relatives were making a real difference to people's lives and wanted to do the same.So for the past 12 years，Tabichi has worked as a math and science teacher in the hope that his lessons will give students a chance to improve their situations.
However，working at a remote village school in Kenya hasn't been easy.The unique challenges and obstacles have forced Tabichi to find unique solutions for his students.The school only has one computer and unreliable Internet access.The school also has no library or laborajye.airy.To make matters worse，there are not enough books for all the students and the school is desperately in need of more teachers.Most of the students are not able to concentrate，because they haven't had enough meals at home.

3．Since apps like Uber and Lyft came on the scene，ridesharing services have dramatically changed the way people get around.A new study out of Columbia University reveals a downside of these services.It turns out that ridesharing trips cause an increase in the number of accidents involving motorists and pedestrians at pick-up and drop-off locations.
Previous studies on the relationship between ridesharing services and vehicle crashes compare cities where ridesharing services are available with cities where they are not，and this makes results somewhat ambiguous.In this study researchers analyze individual trips to make the picture a little clearer.
Researchers analyzed data from 372 million ridesharing trips in New York City between 2017 and 2018.Whenever a crash occurred in the city，they calculated the number of ridesharing trips that began or ended in the area at the time of the accident.They compared this with the number of trips that took place in the same location one week before and one week after the crash.Researchers did the same calculations for regular taxi rides as part of their analyses.Also，separate analyses were performed based on the type of people injured in the crash：pedestrians，motorists or cyclists.
The results of the analyses show that the rise in ridesharing trips is associated with an increase in the number of accidents involving pedestrians and motorists，but not cyclists.Furthermore，they did not find this same association between taxi trips and accidents.
"Ridesharing is changing the way we move around cities." says first author Christopher Morrison. "It is becoming clear that the technology reduces alcohol-related crashes，but these benefits do not seem to extend to the overall number of crashes.These findings help explain why that might be---- because the reductions in alcohol-related crashes are offset（抵消）by increases in other types of crashes."
Researchers hope that cities and ridesharing services will use the results of this study to take measures that might reduce the number of crashes."In crowded areas with large numbers of rideshare pick-ups and drop-offs，cities could consider building taxi-rank style infrastructure（基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施）to protect pedestrians and prevent crashes，"concludes Morrison.
（1）What do we know about previous studies on ridesharing services？
A．Their analysis is hardly reliable.
B．Their findings are rather ridiculous.
C．Their research method is out-of-date.
D．Their research sample is not wide enough.
（2）What does the survey tell us？
A．The increase in ridesharing trips can lead to an increase in accidents between cyclists and pedestrians.
B．When there is a high number of ridesharing trips，there is usually an increase in the number of accidents.
C．Ridesharing is changing the way we move around cities.
D．Cyclists are always safe.
（3）What fact does the underlined word "that" in Paragraph 5 refer to？
A．Ridesharing reduces alcohol-related crashes.
B．Ridesharing doesn't increase accidents involving cyclists.
C．Various types of crashes increase with ridesharing services.
D．Overall crashes don't decrease along with alcohol-related crashes.
（4）What does Morrison suggest in the last paragraph？
A．Improving infrastructure to expand taxi services.
B．Banning ridesharing services in crowded places.
C．Constructing some stops for ridesharing vehicles.
D．Reducing the number of pick-ups and drop-offs.組卷：1引用：2難度：0.7

Dear Jim，
Delighted to have received your email asking for my advices on which university to choose，I am trying to offer you with some suggestions.
As I have long been interested in Chinese culture，I think Beijing Language and Culture University is your better choice.Knowing for its language and culture courses intended for international students，the university is an ideal place，which I believe you will have a rewarding experience.Since it is not easy task to live in a different culture，I think it will be beneficial of you to learn some basic Chinese before you come.That way，you may adjust to live here as soon as possible.
Hopefully，my suggestions will be of some help to you and I believed you will achieve your dream.
Yours，
