Do you ever find yourself standing in front of rubbish bins, not sure whether the piece of
waste in your hand is recyclable(可回收的) or not? To solve this problem,four Hong Kong high school
students have invented a smart rubbish bin that uses AI to sort(分类) the waste. The students
named the bin Waste Collection Point.
Connected (连接) to a computer, the bin uses a camera to tell the kind of the waste it receives
and sorts it into plastic, paper, glass, or other kinds. To make sure the bin can sort waste
correctly, the team tested every product (产品) in the school shop and took at least 500 pictures
of each one. “To train the AI, we had to take many photos from different angles(角度), so it
has a better rate of accuracy,” said one of the students who built the AI system.
The idea of the smart bin was born two years ago, when the students were in Grade Ten. At
that time, people from the city crowded into their village because of the COVID-19. They left
behind a lot of rubbish and caused more pollution.
“All the bins were full, and there was even rubbish on the mountain,”the students said,“Every
weekend, we had to join the villagers in picking up the waste.”
The students decided to develop a special recycling bin that would encourage people to protect
the environment.Although school ended at 2 pm,the team would continue to work on their invention
until 6 or 7 pm at school. Even when their school was closed last year, they would still meet
and work together online.
“Our bin is now in its third generation(代). Before finishing the university,we hope it
can be widely used in the city." The students said,“Then it will be easier than ever for people
to recycle and protect our environment.”
51. According to the first paragraph we know the
of Waste Collection Point.
A.price
B. use
C. size
D. color
52. The underlined words “rate of accuracy”mean“
”in Chinese.

Just a few days after his 18th birthday, Beijing 2022 gold medal winnerSu Yiming received a surprise
gift---a letter from Xi Jinping,President of the People's Republic of China.
In the letter, Xi expressed his congratulations(祝贺) to Su and other sportsmen in ice and
snow sports for their great achievements(成就) at the Beijing Winter Olympics, hoping what they
had achieved would encourage young Chinese to aim(立目标)high.
When Su first stepped onto a snowboard at the age of four, a future as a world-class sportsman
seemed to be “a dream too big” for him. Little did he know that he would not only compete for
his country but also take home the goldmedal . With the great excitement of winning an Olympic
gold medal still fresh in his mind, Su wrote a letter to the president, telling him how lucky
he felt to have made his dream come true.
Su still remembers what Xi wrote in the reply, “The new era is the time for young people to
realize their dreams."
“I have always kept thosewords in my mind," Su said.
“When I made up my mind to be a professional(职业的)snowboarder,I know there is a big difference
between my performanceand that of the top sportsmen in the world. But I have been working hard
to realize my dream.Now my story shows the fact that hard work will pay off.” Su said.
Su believes the sky is the limit. “Find the thing you love, believe in yourself and do your
best. Finally, your dream will come true.”
Now Su has his strong wish to win all the competitions in his sporting field.
61.What was the surprise gift Su Yiming got after his birthday?
62.What did President Xi encourage young Chinese to do by writing the letter?
63. Did Su write a letter to President Xi ?
64.What does Su’s story show us?
