Self-driving cars are just around the co

19、rner, and AI robots can play and beat the best players of strategy games. As smart home technologies have become more ubiquitous, products ranging from smart electrical outlets (插座) to smart smoke alarms are flooding the market.

20、ection.Exactly why people would want their sofa or bed frame to speak to then, track their daily movements or offer help is not yet clear. Though Ikeas the new survey doesnt directly answer that question, it does provide a hint of what people would feel comfortable with. Most participants wanted a m

21、ore human-like form of virtual (虚拟的) assistants, as opposed to one that is more robotic. In terms of the ideal gender (性别) of the assistants, the most popular choice was neither male nor female. Few wanted a religious form of AI.Just as with human friends, most wanted AI friends that were like them,

22、 affirming their own worldview. They wanted an AI assistant that was reasonably intelligent-that could collect data to predict what a person wanted before he or she asked, and that could prevent someone from making mistakes.This is not the first time that Ikea has set foot in the field or futuristic

34、ail.co24（8分） Well, parents, surprise! Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to thumb rides, and not just to school. Its awkward to be refused when you call a friend and ask for a ride. But with Twitter, you just look for other people heading the same way.It may sound risky, so many teens stay wi

35、thin their own social circles to find rides, and dont branch out beyond friends when asking on Twitter just like me, but to some young people, especially those taking longer trips, stranger danger is less of a concern.“I think the digital connection of young people is really important, because young

36、er generations grew up sharing things on line, sharing files, photos, music, etc, so theyve been very used to sharing,” said Juliet Schor, a sociology professor at Boston College.The sharing economy got big during the recession (经济衰退), allowing people to access more goods, services using technology

37、and even to share costs. And that technology, for me, is what the car was for my mom, a gateway to more freedom, like what my friend Earl says, “The symbol of freedom isnt the car any more because theres technology out there connecting you to a car.”According to the researchers at the University of

38、Michigan, 30 years ago, eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a drivers license compared to six in ten today. So its not that surprising that on my 16th birthday I wasnt rushing to get a license but an iPhone.“Driving, for young people, does mean they have to disconnect from their technology, and t

39、hats a negative. So if they could sit in the passage side and still be connected, thats going to be a plus.” Schor continued.To me, another plus is that ridesharing represents something, something much bigger than trying to save money. I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other. My

40、generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar. For the system to work, some of us still need our own cars. But until I get my own version of the silver Super Beetle, you can find me on Twitter.1、The American teens prefer to possess an iPhone as a birthday

44、0分） The age of adulthood is by definition arbitrary. If everyone matured at the same, fixed rate, it wouldnt be a human process. Indeed, maturation happens at varying speeds across different categories within the same individual, so Id say I was easily old enough to vote at 16, but nobody should hav

45、e given me a credit card until I was 32, and Ive got the county court judgment to prove it.However, we broadly agree that theres a difference between a child and an adult, even if we might argue about the transition point. So the political theorist David Runcimans view that six-year-olds should be a

46、llowed to vote goes against any standard argument about the age of civic responsibility. Nobody would say that a six-year-old could be held criminally responsible, could be sent to war, could be capable of consent, could be given responsibility for anything. So allowing them the votealong with, unav

47、oidably, seven-year-olds who are even sillier, if anythingis quite an amusing proposal.Runcimans argument is that this is the only way to rebalance political life, which is currently twisted in favor of the old, who dont (he added) ever need to demonstrate mental capacity, even long after theyve los

48、t it.The first part of his case is self-evident: pensions are protected while childrens centers are closed, concepts such as sovereignty(最高权威) are prioritized over the far more urgent business of the future: climate change. Nostalgia(怀念) for a past the young wouldnt even recognize plays a central ro

49、le, which is completely unfair.Most of the arguments against giving six-year-olds a vote are that children would end up voting for something damaging and chaotic, if someone made unrealistic promises to them, which could never be realized. Well, its not childrens fault.Having said that, children do

50、tend towards the progressive, having a natural sense of justice (which kicks in at the age of six months, psychologists have shown, by creating scenes of great unfairness to babies, and making them cry) and an underdeveloped sense of self-interest. My kid, when he was six, made quite a forceful case

51、 against private property, on the basis that, since everybody needed a house, they shouldnt cost money, because nobody would want anyone else not to have one. Also, food should be free. It was a kind of pre-Marx communism, where you limit the coverage of the market to only those things that you woul

52、dnt mind someone else not having.On that particular day, when we were registered as voters, my kid was quite far to the left of me, but in the normal run of things, were united, which brings us to the point of the problem: children obey you on almost nothing, but they do seem to believe in your poli

53、tics until theyre adolescent. So giving kids the vote is really just a way of giving parents extra votes. And what can stop us having even more children, once theres so much enfranchisement(选举权) in it for us?Now, if parents could be trusted to use their influence wisely, and hammer into children the

54、 politics it will take to assure a better future, then I wouldnt necessarily have a problem with that, apart from, obviously, that culture is already wildly twisted towards parents, and I can imagine a few non-parents boiling with fierce anger. But thats not worth talking about anyway, because paren

55、ts cant be trusted, otherwise wed all already vote Green(绿党).In short: no, six-year-olds should not get the vote; but while were here, if any votes come up in the near future, which will have an impact on the next five decades of British political life, alongside EU migrants, 16-year-olds certainly

56、should be enfranchised.1、The author refers to his age of adulthood to prove that _.Apeople mature at different rates in various aspectsBtheres a common standard for the age of adulthoodCa credit card is more difficult to get than the voteDcertain rights are granted at different stages of life2、Peopl

57、e reject David Runcimans proposal because _.Athey dont think a child can grow into adulthood earlierBthey are uncertain whether children can assume responsibilityCthey believe children are far from mature in many waysDthey know the age to get the vote is not to be questioned3、What is the base for Da

58、vid Runcimans argument?AA cultural preference for the old.BThe imbalance in political life.CInequalities of opportunity.DPublic ignorance of childrens abilities.4、The author talks about his kid to indicate that _.Achildren are good-natured and like to help people in needBchildren are simple-minded a

59、nd can fall for an adults trickCchildren are innocent and dont want to be involved in politicsDchildren are in favor of a just society and tend to be idealistic5、The author thinks allowing children the vote may lead to _.Atwisted cultureBmisuse of rightsCparents objectionsDunusual maturation6、What i

60、s the main point of the passage?AAllowing children the vote is not altogether absurd.BThere is a difference between adults and children.CParents should introduce politics to their children.DThe definition of adulthood is quite controversial.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个
