Frequently Asked Questions about Assessment
Does it matter if my coursework is too long or too short
The word count for each piece of coursework should be provided on the title page. IOE allows a 10％ margin (差额) on the word limit set for the coursework. For example, if the word limit is 5, 000 words, you can submit an assessment of between 4, 500 and 5, 500 words. Note that if your work exceed (超出) the 10％ margin, it will automatically fail.
When is the deadline for coursework assignments
Final deadlines for coursework submissions are normally 2 calendar months after the end of term in which the module runs. Coursework deadlines will be published on your programme web page at the start of the academic year. The deadline for reports is normally the first working day in September. Note that you MUST submit your coursework by the deadline and that failure to do so results in an automatic fail.
When will I receive the grade and feedback for my coursework
Your coursework and report are independently marked by two members of staff. Once the markers have agreed a grade, you will be informed of your results by the programme administrator. We aim to complete this process within 4 weeks of the submission deadline. Feedback and grades are not guaranteed within 4 weeks for extended, delayed, or resubmitted coursework. In special circumstances, you may apply for additional time to complete your coursework but must submit the evidence proving you are impacted by unforeseen factors. The time should be not later than two weeks before the original deadline.
If you are in any doubt about the assessment, please contact the programme administrator.

About 15 years ago, Andrew McLindon, a business owner and passionate cyclist, was riding his bike in Austin, Texas, when he thought about a friend's 12-year-old son. The boy had never known the joy of biking because he suffered from a brain condition that often caused balance disturbances.
When he got home, McLindon, now 60, went online and found a three-wheel recumbent (侧卧的) bike with a seat belt, perfect for a child with balance issues. Soon the boy was cycling around the street with his peers, having fun and getting exercise. But there was more, as Me Lindon learned from his friend's reaction. “To see his son interacting with other kids,” McLindon says. “I'll never forget the smile on his face.”
That smile launched the McLindon Family Foundation. Funded by donations, the group works with pediatric rehab (小儿康复) clinics to find children who can benefit from owning an adaptive bike—and to help craft each bike to the particular needs of the child. A bike may include a headrest, a shoulder band, a seat belt, and a caregiver's steering and braking system in the back. The bikes are expensive—$3, 000 to $4, 000, and that's with the foundation's large discount. For kids lucky enough to get one, they're a life changer.
“We worked with a 14-year-old who had a back problem,” says McLindon. She spent most days on the couch watching TV. Soon after she got her bike, she was training for special-needs triathlons (铁人三项). In a magazine interview, she said, “I always knew there was an athlete in me.”
So far, the foundation has given away 450 bikes, and that's just a start. “I do a lot of things. I run a lot of companies,” McLindon says. “But getting these kids their bikes is the most important thing that I do.”
34. What inspired Andrew McLindon to search for a special bike online
A. His enthusiasm for cycling. B. His ambition to start a new business.
C. His goal to invent a new type of bike. D. His desire to help a boy with balance issues.
35. Why was McLindon Family Foundation established
A. To sponsor special-needs triathlons.
B. To raise money for pediatric rehab clinics.
C. To provide adaptive bikes for disabled children.
D. To offer a social network to children with special needs.
36. What benefit can adaptive bikes bring
A. They can offer medical treatment. B. They can provide exercise and fun.
C. They can relieve physical suffering. D. They can improve academic performance.
37. What does McLindon think of his work with the McLindon Family Foundation
A. It is a worthwhile effort. B. It is a temporary solution.
C. It is financially rewarding. D. It is technically challenging.
C
As an intense heat wave sweeps through China, residents are seeking relief in air raid shelters and swimming pools to stay cool, and dozens of cities, including Shanighai, Chongqing and Hangzhou, have issued their highest-level red alert warnings. Shanghai has issued three red alerts this year, with the temperature hitting 40. 9 Celsius on July 13, matching the record set in 2017 since 1873. The fact that Shanghai has experienced only 16 days of 40°- plus temperatures since the city began keeping records in 1873 should give us an idea about the seriousness of the situation.
Medical experts say extreme heat could cause nausea (恶心), fatigue, sunstroke and even death, with senior citizens and people with long-term illnesses particularly vulnerable to heat waves.
Extreme heat events, which began a month ago, have affected the lives of more than 900 million people in China. Between June 1 and July 12, the average number of days with temperatures above 35℃ was 5. 3, up 2. 4 days over normal years, breaking the national record set in 1961, according to the National Climate Center.
Parts of Europe are also in the grip of heat waves and experiencing extreme weather events after the western part of North America faced extreme heat waves last year. In response to the exceptionally high temperatures, the United Kingdom has declared a national emergency and issued the highest-level red alert warning for Monday and Tuesday for the first time. More alarmingly, the average global temperature in June this year was 0. 4℃ higher than normal years and the highest since 1979, with temperatures in countries such as Spain, France and Italy exceeding 40℃.
Unfortunately, extreme heat, which is directly related to climate change, will become more frequent and intense in the next 30 years, setting new records for high temperatures. As global warming intensifies, losses and devastation will increase, forcing natural and human systems to raise their adaptation limits.
38. What can we know about the heat waves this year
A. It may cause more harm to the old and people with long-term illnesses.
B. The number of days above 35℃ in June breaks the national record.
C. Shanghai has experienced a higher temperature than that in 2017.
D. The whole Europe as well as America are suffering from the heat waves.
39. How does the author develop the text
A. By analyzing and concluding. B. By explaining and contrasting.
C. By giving examples and quoting. D. By giving figures and comparing.
40. According to the writer, what is the trend of extreme heat
A. Becoming more serious. B. Remaining stable.
C. Staying unpredictable. D. Getting controllable.
41. What is the text mainly about
A. The solutions to the climate change. B. The economic losses from heat waves.
C. The increase of severe heat waves. D. The destructive effect of global warming.
D
In the animal kingdom, mimics (模仿) are not rare. Stick insects pretend to be twigs. Hawk-moth caterpillars resemble poisonous snakes. The examples, though, are visual. Auditory mimicry is rarer. Danilo Russo of the University of Naples Federico II thinks he has found a novel case of it, as he describes in Current Biology. Some bats, he believes, mimic angry bees in order to scare away owls that might otherwise eat them.
Dr. Russo first noticed bat buzzing a few years ago. The noise struck him as similar to the sound of some bees. He wondered whether bat buzzing was a form of mimicry which helped to scare off would-be predators.
To test this idea, he and his colleagues first recorded the buzzing that captured bats made. Then, with protective clothing, they began the more dangerous task of recording the buzzing made by different puter analysis revealed that bees' and bats' buzzing were, indeed, similar.
Then the researchers recruited several owls. They put the owls, one at a time, in an enclosure with branches for them to stay on, and two boxes with holes in them. They placed a loudspeaker alongside one of the boxes and, after the birds had settled in, broadcast through it five seconds of uninterrupted bat buzzing and a similar amount of insect buzzing three times in a row for each noise. As a control, they broadcast in like manner several non-buzzing sounds made by bats.
During the broadcasts and for five minutes thereafter, they videoed the owls. After analysis, the results were unequivocal. When they heard both the bat buzzing and the bee buzzing, the owls moved as far from the speakers as they could. In contrast, when the non-buzzing bat sounds were played, they crept closer.
Dr. Russo believes this is the first reported case of a mammal using auditory mimicry to scare away a predator. They strongly suspect, however, that it is not unique. Anecdotes suggest several birds also make buzzing noises when their nests are disturbed. And with the result of the experiment, he therefore predicts that auditory
mimicry is far more widespread than currently realized.
42. What was Dr. Russo's assumption of the study
A. Bats imitate the voice of angry bees to frighten away enemies.
B. The buzzing of bats are similar to the sound of some bees.
C. Auditory mimicry is rather common in the animal kingdom.
D. Only some bats have the capacity of auditory mimicry.
43. How did Dr. Russo test his idea
A. By consulting experts in this field. B. By referring to other scholars' analysis.
C. By collecting computer data. D. By conducting series of scientific experiments.
44. What does the underlined word “unequivocal” in paragraph 5 possibly moan
A. Disappointing. B. Controversial. C. Definite. D. Uncertain.
45. What is a suitable title for the text
A. A New Trick to Scare Away Owls B. Animal Mimicry: Buzz off
C. A Self-protection Behavior among Animals D. Bats: No More Victim to Owls

A future where insects make up a large part of the world's diet is on the horizon Despite the unpleasant nature of such cuisine, insects have been considered a delicacy in some parts of world for centuries. Their being low-fat and high-protein makes them a perfect choice for reducing hunger. 46
Animal protein from livestock, such as cows, chicken and pigs, takes up 80 percent of the entire world's farmland, despite only making up less than one-fifth of calories consumed globally. 47 Thus it would support a variety of biodiversity as nature intended.
Insects such as grasshoppers, meal worms and crickets are packed full of protein with much higher vitamin levels than pork or beef. 48 Greenhouse gas emissions through this process are also very little, with insect waste making excellent fertilizer for agricultural soil.
It seems that insects are an ideal solution for many issues the world today is faced with. 49 Urban areas of Asia, Europe and North America are most likely to associate insects with dirt instead of as a tasty meal.
Times are changing. The European Union last year declared that meal worms were safe for human consumption. Cricket (蟋蟀) protein powder is also increasing greatly in popularity, with Canada rapidly becoming the largest market for the product.
50 As we explore our solar system, efficient means of producing animal-based proteins will become vital. None are more efficient space-wise than insects. And the colonies of the future could well find themselves enjoying fried crickets with a pint of beer while watching the Martian sunset.
A. They also have a host of environmental benefits.
B. Insects reproduce quickly and have high growth rates.
C. Unlike agriculture, insects produce far fewer greenhouse gases.
D. They require little space, water and technology to raise compared to livestock.
E. However, making them a delicious cuisine cam be a challenge in several cultures.
F. By freeing up livestock space, huge expanses of land could be returned to nature.
G. A future where insects will become invaluable to space exploration is also upcoming.

Dear Peter,
I'm happy to hear from you. Just as you've learn, Al is now widely used in China. Here I'd like to share with you what I experienced during the week-long National Day holiday.
When traveling, we were amazed at the changes and convenience brought by Al. First of all, wherever and whenever we went, we could use the mobile payment, including buying admission tickets. More interestingly, we no longer had to get into tourist attractions with the ID card. We Could do it through a face recognition app now, which really saved time so that we didn't have to wait in a queue. What ani amazing experience!
I do hope you can come to China and experience all of this when you have spare time.
Looking forward to your arrival.
Yours,
Li Hua
