Read the speech and answer the question.

[1] Picture this: It's Spring Break, and you fly off to some country where there's lush rainforests and beautiful, blue coastlines to explore. There's also people in need, so you decide to blend your vacation with volunteering. Volunteering as a tourist, or voluntourism, seems like a great way to explore new regions and help people at the same time. However, this "volunteer plus travel" experience can actually harm local communities. While many teens might view traveling and volunteering abroad as a worthwhile adventure, there are more genuine and effective ways to make a difference.

[2] Most would agree that volunteering in general is a worthy use of time. However, what if you found out the children you are "helping" are actually being kept in poor conditions so voluntourists will spend money to come to the local area? Dale Rolfe, a supporter of ethical voluntourism, explains the shocking reality that "Animal sanctuaries and orphanages are often manufactured for the voluntourist...encouraging a cycle of exploiting the very animals and children the volunteers are trying to help."

[3] Proponents of the "volunteer plus travel" experience also argue that traveling to new places builds character and is a valuable way to learn about different cultures. With voluntourism, however, participants often pursue experiences that are all about them. For example, they sign up to build a school for a gold star on their resume, but they have no real building skills and take jobs away from local construction workers (Schulten). Or, they arrive to teach English but instead take selfies with the locals. One world traveler and ethical voluntourist believes voluntourism "can perpetuate small minded views of the world by taking insulated, fake, and structured experiences and selling them as unabridged and eye opening" (Carlos). The voluntour experience is a mirage. The voluntourist's eyes are not opened to real life at the destination, and lasting change is not achieved.

[4] If you want a genuine experience where you can see a lasting impact, there are better options than voluntourism. You can volunteer in your local community. Give an hour every week to your town's animal rescue. Serve monthly dinners to the homeless. Be a reliable, positive influence on a child who needs a mentor. Studies show that volunteering and forming lasting relationships with those you help has a positive impact on your physical and emotional health. In fact, blood pressure is reduced, memory is improved, and rates of depression are reduced (Michaels).

[5] There is another reason to look into alternatives to voluntourism. Did you know the average "voluntour" travel package costs $3,400 (Rolfe)? Could that travel money be better spent? If the world's citizens are your passion, it could go to an international organization. If you care about education, your funds can be used to buy books for students in faraway lands. If you want villagers to have clean water, contribute funds to local efforts to dig wells. If you want to experience a different culture, travel to the country as a guest, and learn from the locals how you can best help them after you've returned home. But do not voluntour.

[6] In reality, there are better ways to make a difference. Voluntourism might appear to be an adventure that blends travel and helping others, but it does little except provide a costly, superficial experience that might actually do more harm than good. So, volunteer where you are most needed-at home, where you can stay to see the job through and form genuine, lasting relationships. Choose a beautiful coastline closer to home and send the travel money you saved to an international organization that will put it to good use. Whatever you do, don't turn someone else's hardship into your vacation.

How does the speaker's metaphor of a gold star in paragraph 3 support the purpose of the speech?

It challenges the audience to view voluntourism opportunities in a positive light.

It confirms the idea that voluntourism experiences look good on a college or career resume.

It emphasizes the selfish and superficial motivation behind voluntour opportunities.

It highlights the generous contribution that voluntours make to the areas they visit.

Read this excerpt from "Talking Robots."

Of course, neural networks still have a long way to go before they can model the human brain. As physicist Heinz Pagels has said: “The difference between a real neuron and the model neurons . . . is like the difference between a human hand and a pair of pliers.” But the fact that a simple neural network can speak at all is remarkable, indicating that perhaps human abilities can be simulated by electronics. . . .


Which is the most accurate summary of Kaku’s argument?

A.The simulated speech of neural networks suggests the potential for other electronic simulations.
B.Neural networks are vastly inferior to the human brain, and critics question whether they can speak at all.
C.Neural networks are vastly different from the human brain, just as pliers are different from the human hand.
D.Electronic simulation of speech suggests that technological ability will eventually exceed human potential.

What is the main idea of The Terror by Junot Diaz?

Based on the information in the story, what would have happened if Nsue did not have an offering at the Festival of the New Moon? A. Nandi would have shared her honey. B. Father would have been disappointed. C. Nsue’s name would have remained the same. D. Old Man, Gao would have told stories of birds. 1

Silently he crept through jagged thornbushes. Bare feet moved swiftly over hot, arid soil to the edge of a waterhole where the kudu was drinking. The great animal suddenly looked up, spiral horns curving sharply into the endless African sky. Nsue1 did not reach for his pouch of poisoned arrows. He had no heart for killing. This would not be the day he would change his childish boyhood name.



2

Nsue left the salt pan and climbed the barren hillside to the cool twilight of the rock caves. Tonight would be the Festival of the New Moon, and Nsue had nothing to contribute to the feast. His sister, Nandi, had found four plump tsamma melons to share.



3

Nsue lay on his back and studied the ancient paintings that lined the rock walls. They reminded him of the many stories that Gao, the Old One, told about the San people of long ago. In this harsh desert climate, everyone must hunt for food to survive. Gao’s stories honored the brave hunters. Nsue wanted to hide in the caves until the stories were over. It was there that his father found him.



4

Nsue’s father knew the reason for the boy’s unhappiness. He had often heard the older boys teasing his son about his name. Nsue means “ostrich egg.” He was given this name because when he was a baby in a sling on his mother’s back, his shiny oval head looked just like an ostrich egg gleaming in the sun.



5

“Nsue is a fine name,” his father said. “Ostrich eggs are of great value to our people. One egg can feed twelve hungry men. The empty shells are used to carry and store water. Even the broken pieces become tools or jewelry. Be proud of your name!”



6

Nsue turned his head away. “It is the name of a child, not a hunter,” he cried. “I will never be a skilled hunter like you, Father. I do not wish to kill the beautiful animals of our desert.”



7

Nsue’s father squatted on his heels and surveyed the vast Kalahari beyond. “The spirit gods did not intend for all men to be hunters,” he said softly. “Some men tell stories around the cooking fires. Others paint our history on the walls of the rock caves. Men like Nxou are keepers of water. Without water, even the bravest hunters would soon die.”



8

Despite his anxiety, Nsue had to smile as he thought of skinny Nxou pressing a dry reed through the sand in just the right place, drawing water to fill 15 ostrich eggs for tonight’s celebration. “I will find something to share at the Festival of the New Moon,” Nsue promised as he left the cave and walked into the shimmering heat.



9

In time, Nsue grew tired and stopped to rest in the shade of a thornbush. At first he thought the wind was playing tricks on his ears, but there it was again: “Nta-nta-nta-nteee!”



10

When he heard the excited cry of the honeyguide bird, Nsue leaped up and began to answer with the grunts and growls of the honey badger. As he ran along, he remembered the stories of Gao, who told of the bird who seeks out other creatures to invade the combs of honeybees.



11

Nsue ran like the desert wind, and eventually the honeyguide led him to the base of a baobab tree, standing like a lonely giant against the setting sun. The hollow tree revealed an opening, with bees buzzing angrily around the excited bird.



12

Nsue quickly tore a piece of fibrous bark from the base of the tree and began to climb. Without hesitation, he reached into the hollow center and dipped his scoop into a great comb of golden honey. He returned to the ground so quickly that only a few bees were able to avenge the intrusion with angry stings.



13

Although Nsue was in a hurry, he remembered Gao’s words: “If you do not leave a portion of the comb for the honeyguide who brought you to this golden treasure, the next time it will lead you to a hungry lion instead of thick, sweet honey.”



14

It was dark when Nsue returned, and the Dance of the New Moon had already begun. His heart sang more loudly than the beautiful voices of the children. His face and arms were swollen from bee stings, but his lopsided grin was full of pride as he stepped forward and offered to share his golden prize.



15

As the music ended, his father announced, “From this day forward, my son shall be known to all as Ratel, the fierce and clever honey badger.”

Q.1) Read this short passage and answer the question below:Cruising into a Driverless Future

By Chloe Reichel


Eerie as it may seem to drive alongside a car with no one behind the wheel, autonomous vehicles are poised to hit the roads in the next few years. A lawsuit between Uber and Waymo, Google’s self-driving car project, settled in February 2018 illustrates the fierce battle to develop driverless car technology. Many cars already employ semi-autonomous technology, such as parking assistance and lane monitoring. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) suggests that automated vehicles could promote safety on the road. According to NHTSA’s Federal Automated Vehicles Policy, 94 percent of car accidents are linked to human choice or error. Automated vehicles, the NHTSA writes, could reduce the frequency of crashes by eliminating some human error on the roads. The policy indicates positive features of automated vehicles beyond safety, including potential environmental benefits and increased mobility for those otherwise unable to drive. The cutting-edge technology, however, presents ethical questions and other concerns. Some research included in this roundup indicates that the environmental effects of widespread adoption of autonomous vehicles might not be positive. Safety benefits are not so clear-cut either.


The author organizes this passage by—

A) comparing and contrasting different findings on autonomous vehicles

B) explaining the best way to research the safety of autonomous vehicles

C) presenting in chronological order the progress of autonomous vehicles

D) describing the outcome of extensive research on autonomous vehicles

Q.2) Which quotation challenges the idea that automated vehicles are a welcomed commodity?
A) “Automated vehicles, the NHTSA writes, could reduce the frequency of crashes by eliminating some human error on the roads.”
B) “Some research included in this roundup indicates that the environmental effects of widespread adoption of autonomous vehicles might not be positive. Safety benefits are not so clear-cut either. “
C) “Eerie as it may seem to drive alongside a car with no one behind the wheel, autonomous vehicles are poised to hit the roads in the next few years.”
D) “Many cars already employ semi-autonomous technology, such as parking assistance and lane monitoring.”
