Chris Urmson told a Senate hearing that the US Transport Secretary should be given authority over the matter rather than leaving it to individual states. He also reiterated his company's view that it would be safer if passengers were not able to override a vehicle's autonomous systems. That contrasts with the view of California's regulator. The state's Department of Motor Vehicles published draft rules in December that said a trained human must still be able to take control. Mr. Urmson noted that 23 states had now set a total of 53 pieces of legislation relating to self-driving vehicles, some of which are at odds with each other   "We currently face a growing patchwork of state laws and regulations on self-driving cars that has the potential to become unworkable," Mr. Urmson said. "If every state is left to go its own way, it would be extremely impractical to operate an autonomous vehicle across state boundaries.” His view was supported at the Senate Commerce Committee by the pick-up service, Lyft, which has partnered with General Motors to develop their own driverless cars. "The worst possible scenario for the growth of autonomous vehicles is an inconsistent and conflicting patchwork of local, municipal and county laws that will hamper efforts to bring autonomous vehicle technology to market," said Joseph Okpaku, Lyft's director of public policy. "Regulations are necessary, but regulatory restraint and consistency is equally as important if we are going to allow this industry to reach its full potential.”   The risks posed by self-driving cars in their existing state were highlighted last month when one of Google's cars caused a collision with a bus in Santa Clara, California. One robotics expert at the hearing urged the senators to resist pressure to permit the public to use self-driving cars too soon, and said the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) should take greater leadership over tests in the meantime. Prof Missy Cummings from Duke University added that she thought that the "self-driving car community" had been "deficient" in the way it had carried out its experiments to date. "I perceive there to be a rush to field systems that are not ready for widespread deployment," she explained. "One issue is operation in bad weather, including standing water on roadways, drizzling rain, sudden downpours and snow." Coupling these limitations with the inability of self-driving cars to follow a traffic policeman's gestures—especially on a rainy day in a poncho—means self-driving cars should not really be operating near elementary schools at this time. "Another major problem with self-driving cars is their vulnerability to malevolent or even prankster intent. For example, it is relatively easy to spoof the GPS of self-driving vehicles, which involves hacking into their systems and driving them off course. "Additionally, recent research has shown that a $60 laser device can trick self-driving cars into sensing objects that are not there."    Prof Cummings also took aim at Mr. Urmson's statement that Google's self-driving cars had now travelled 1.4 million miles on the roads, noting that New York's taxi cab fleet went further in little over a day. She suggested that 275 million miles must be driven fatality-free before self-driving cars could be said to be safer than human-controlled vehicles. In the meantime, Prof Cummings said companies needed to be more transparent about the tests they carried out. One of the tech firms responded by highlighting that self-driving vehicles employed multiple sensors at the same time. "Each of those technologies has strengths and weaknesses," explained Delphi's Glen Devos." In some cases vision or Lidar, a laser-based system, may be compromised by weather, but radar is very strong in weather. "It's absolutely true that sensors have strengths and weaknesses, but by combining those sensors you end up with a much more capable package, certainly with greater perception capability than an individual human driver relying on vision alone."

3. In the General Scholastic Ability Test (GSAT), reading comprehension items assess students’ ability to integrate and apply knowledge of vocabulary (including idiomatic expressions), semantics, grammar, pragmatics, and discourse structure. Students are expected to understand the overall meaning of a text, identify key information, and engage in higher-order thinking skills such as analysis, comparison, and inference. Based on the following original text, design four reading comprehension questions with answer choices. Each question should assess a different skill, strategy, or learning performance. (20 分)        Many women today feel constantly exhausted, yet the source of that fatigue is not always obvious. It is often linked to what researchers describe as the “mental load” — the invisible work of planning, organising, and anticipating everyday needs. Unlike physical tasks, this kind of effort is continuous and often goes unnoticed, making it particularly draining over time.        This mental load is not a single burden but a combination of different types of responsibility. It includes keeping track of schedules, managing household logistics, remembering important details, and monitoring the emotional needs of others. Much of this work happens in the background, requiring constant attention even during moments that appear to be restful. As a result, many women feel as though their minds are always “on,” with little opportunity to fully switch off.        What makes the situation more complex is that this effort is often shaped by social expectations. Women are frequently expected to take on the role of organiser, caregiver, and emotional anchor, even when they are equally involved in paid work. Over time, this imbalance can lead to stress, frustration, and a sense of being overwhelmed. Because much of this work is invisible, it is rarely acknowledged or shared equally, which can deepen feelings of exhaustion.        At the same time, there is growing awareness of how this hidden workload affects well-being. Rather than focusing solely on doing more, many experts suggest the need to rethink how responsibilities are distributed and recognised. Making the invisible visible — by naming, sharing, and valuing this type of labour — may be an important step toward reducing its impact. In this sense, addressing the mental load is not just about fairness, but about creating more sustainable and balanced ways of living.

Writing and Reading Comprehension Questions Design (20%) Rewrite the given passage below into a well-structured text of 300 to 350 words and create 4 reading comprehension questions based on your rewritten passage. Be sure to provide the answer key.         Tudor architecture marks a pivotal moment in English history, blending older medieval traditions with emerging Renaissance ideas to create a distinctive and lasting style. It is not only visually recognizable but also tied to a compelling story of ambition and power. One of the most famous examples begins in 1515, when Cardinal Thomas Wolsey—who rose from humble beginnings to become King Henry VIII’s most trusted advisor—began building Hampton Court Palace. Wolsey envisioned a residence so magnificent that it could rival even the King’s own. His project reflected both his immense influence and his desire to display it, while also helping shape what would become a defining architectural style of the Tudor period.         Yet power can shift quickly. Wolsey’s failure to secure Henry VIII’s divorce from Catherine of Aragon led to his sudden downfall in 1529. The King seized Hampton Court Palace and transformed it into a royal residence, expanding it with additions such as the Great Hall and other lavish features. What began as Wolsey’s personal statement became one of the most iconic symbols of Tudor England. In a way, the palace stands as both a monument to royal authority and a reminder of Wolsey’s dramatic rise and fall.         Although Wolsey played an important role in promoting this style, Tudor architecture did not originate with him alone. He functioned more as a patron, working with skilled architects and craftsmen. The style itself began to emerge in the late 15th century, during a transitional period when England was moving away from medieval Gothic traditions and gradually incorporating Renaissance influences. Named after the Tudor dynasty, which ruled from 1485 to 1603, the style developed during a time of increasing political stability following the Wars of the Roses. Under Henry VII, this stability created opportunities for architectural innovation and experimentation.         As England entered a more peaceful era, the focus of building shifted. Instead of purely defensive structures, architects began designing grand manor houses and palaces that balanced protection with comfort and decoration. Figures such as Henry VII and Sir Reginald Bray contributed to this evolution through projects like Richmond Palace. These developments resulted in buildings that combined elements from both Gothic and Renaissance traditions, creating what can be described as a transitional or hybrid style.         Over time, Tudor architecture established its own clear identity. It emphasized both functionality and visual appeal, with a strong focus on craftsmanship and the use of local materials. Timber and brick became especially important, and one notable shift during this period was the increased use of brick instead of stone. This change reflected not only aesthetic preferences but also broader economic and technological developments.        Several key features define Tudor architecture. One of the most recognizable is half-timbering, where exposed wooden frames are filled with plaster or brick, forming distinctive patterns on exterior walls. Roofs are typically steeply pitched and often include multiple gables, making them both practical for weather conditions and visually striking. Tall, decorative chimneys are another hallmark, often elaborately designed to display wealth and status.         Windows in Tudor buildings are usually narrow and tall, often grouped together and fitted with leaded glass. These casement windows allow natural light while maintaining a vertical emphasis inherited from Gothic design. Entrances frequently feature ornate doorways and Tudor arches, which are flatter than the sharply pointed arches of earlier Gothic structures. In wealthier buildings, a combination of brick and stonework further highlights the stylistic transition taking place during this time.         The relationship between Tudor architecture and earlier styles is essential to understanding its significance. Gothic architecture, which had dominated Europe for centuries, heavily influenced Tudor design. Its vertical lines, intricate detailing, and pointed forms were adapted from large religious structures into more domestic settings. This allowed Tudor homes to retain a sense of grandeur while becoming more suitable for everyday living.          At the same time, Renaissance ideas introduced a new focus on symmetry, proportion, and classical elements. Originating in Italy, the Renaissance gradually spread across Europe, influencing English architecture as well. Tudor builders incorporated some of these principles, particularly in their use of brickwork and more balanced designs. Rather than replacing Gothic elements entirely, these ideas blended together, resulting in a unique and distinctly English style.         This fusion makes Tudor architecture a true transitional form, bridging the gap between medieval and modern design. It also laid the foundation for the Elizabethan style that followed, which would place even greater emphasis on symmetry and decorative complexity. Tudor buildings reflect a desire to combine the dramatic qualities of Gothic architecture with the harmony and order associated with the Renaissance.                 Ultimately, Tudor architecture represents more than just a style of building; it reflects a period of change in English society. It captures a time when stability allowed for creativity and when people sought to express both tradition and progress in their surroundings. From Wolsey’s ambitious vision at Hampton Court to the broader development of manor houses and palaces, Tudor architecture tells a story of experimentation and aspiration. It stands as a lasting example of how historical transitions can shape not only the way people live, but also the spaces they create.

III. Writing and Cloze Questions Design Test (15%) Rewrite the given passage below into a well-structured text of 200 to 250 words and create a cloze test with 5 questions based on your rewritten passage. Each question should have four choices, ( A ), ( B ), ( C ), and ( D ), with one of them being the best/correct answer. Be sure to provide the answer key.         A "blood moon" occurs during a total lunar eclipse. Scientifically, this happens when the Earth passes directly between the sun and the moon, casting its shadow across the lunar surface. Instead of turning completely black, the moon glows with a deep, rusty red color. This is caused by Rayleigh scattering—the same phenomenon that creates red sunsets. The Earth’s atmosphere filters out blue light and bends red light toward the moon. However, for most of human history, people didn't have a scientific explanation; they had stories.         In the world of literature and culture, the blood moon is a powerful allusion. An allusion is a brief, indirect reference to a person, place, or event—often from history or the Bible. When a modern author uses the phrase "blood moon," they are rarely just talking about an eclipse; they are usually alluding to ancient prophecies of the "End of Days." This literary technique allows writers to add profound layers of meaning to their work, effectively connecting a simple natural event to centuries of human history and shared belief.        The most famous allusions come from the King James Bible, specifically the books of Joel and Revelation, which describe the moon "turning into blood" before a world-changing event. Because of these texts, the red moon has become a literary harbinger—a sign of significant or dangerous change. In Shakespeare’s plays, such as Othello, celestial changes like an eclipse are used to mirror the "madness" or chaos happening on Earth. This is known as the pathetic fallacy, where the environment reflects human emotions and moral turmoil.        Cultural folklore also provides a rich history of allusions. The ancient Incas believed a celestial jaguar was attacking and eating the moon, which is why it appeared to bleed. To save it, they would howl and shake spears to drive the predator away. Similarly, in ancient Mesopotamia, an eclipse was seen as a direct attack on the king. These historical "scripts" allow writers today to use the blood moon as a symbol of transformation, judgment, or the shifting of power.        Ultimately, the "blood moon" serves as a bridge between the physical world and the human imagination, transforming a predictable astronomical alignment into a profound cultural event. Whether interpreted through the lens of Rayleigh scattering or as a biblical omen, the phenomenon reminds us that humanity rarely views nature with total objectivity. When we look up at a crimson sky, we are participating in a multigenerational dialogue that explores the fascinating boundaries between the known world and the mystical.
