The moment I stepped into a cab, I realized it was different. The floor was covered with a rug (小地毯). There were small reproductions of painting

12、s by Van Gogh inside the cab. And the windows were spotless. I told the driver I had never ridden in a more attractive taxi.“I like to hear my passengers say that,” he replied. “How long have you been decorating your cab?” I asked. “Its not mine,” he said. “Its a company cab. I hit upon the idea yea

13、rs ago when I worked as a clean-up man for the taxi company. Each car that came in at the end of the day was like a garbage pit. Cigarette butts and matches covered the floor.

While there are countless shelters and rescue centers that exist, some potential pet owners look to pet shops to find their furry

28、 friends. All too often, however, these animals come from puppy and kitten mills (繁殖场) that treat the creatures in cruel ways. San Francisco, however, is doing their part to stop this abuse with pet store adoption. Officials recently voted to ban the sale of non-rescue dogs and cats in local shops.T

29、he effect is two-fold. One, it will stop the popularity of the large-scale mills, which are famous for the miserable conditions cats and does are kept in. Two, it will help facilitate the adoption of thousands of animals that are waiting for their forever homes in San Francisco shelters. District 4

30、Supervisor Katy Tang, who serves on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, supported law-making on the ban. “Dogs and cats sold in pet stores often come from inhumane puppy and kitten mills that treat animals with no regard for their health or well-being”, she wrote on Facebook. In her message, she

35、e than humans.DMore and more cities are involved in animal rights.24（8分） When a driver slams on the brakes to avoid hitting a pedestrian crossing the road illegally, she is making a moral decision that shifts risk from the pedestrian to the people in the car. Self-driving cars might soon have to mak

36、e such ethical (道德的)judgments on their own but settling on a universal moral code for the vehicles could be a tough task, suggests a survey.The largest ever survey of machine ethics, called the Moral Machine, laid out 13 possible situations in which someones death was unavoidable. Respondents were a

37、sked to choose who to spare in situations that involved a mix of variables: young or old, rich or poor, more people or fewer. Within 18 months, the online quiz had recorded 40 million decisions made by people from 233 countries and territories.When the researchers analysed these answers, they found

38、that the nations could be divided into three groups. One contains North America and several European nations where Christianity has been the dominant (占支配地位的)religion; another includes countries such as Japan, Indonesia and Pakistan, with strong Confucian or Islamic traditions. A third group consist

39、s of countries in Central and South America, such as Colombia and Brazil. The first group showed a stronger preference for sacrificing older lives to save younger ones than did the second group, for example.The researchers also identified relationships between social and economic factors in a countr

40、y. They found that people from relatively wealthy countries with strong institutions, such as Finland and Japan, more often chose to hit people who stepped into traffic illegally than did respondents in nations with weaker institutions, such as Nigeria or Pakistan.People rarely face such moral dilem

41、mas, and some cities question whether the possible situations posed in the online quiz are relevant to the ethical and practical questions surrounding driverless cars. But the researchers argue that the findings reveal cultural differences that governments and makers of self-driving cars must take i

42、nto account if they want the vehicles to gain public acceptance.At least Barbara Wege, who heads a group working on autonomous-vehicle ethics at Audi in Ingolstadt, Germany, says such studies are valuable. Wege argues that self-driving cars would cause fewer accidents, proportionally, than human dri

43、vers do each yearbut that people might focus more on events involving robots.Surveys such as the Moral Machine can help to begin public discussions about these unavoidable accidents that might develop trust. “We need to come up with a social consensus,” she says, “about which risks we are willing to

44、 take.”1、Why is it difficult to set universal moral rules for programming self-driving cars?ASocial values always change with the times.BMoral choices vary between different cultures.CDrivers have a preference for sacrificing the weak.DCar makers are faced with decisions of life or death.2、The resea

45、rchers conducted the study by_.Ausing a massive online quiz worldwideBcomparing different cultures and customsCdividing the respondents into three groupsDperforming a series of controlled experiments3、According to the study, in which country are drivers more likely to hit a pedestrian crossing the r

47、Car makers neednt take the risk of solving self-driving car ethical dilemmas25（10分）Think of the empty cities in zombie(僵尸)movies. The streets, the shops and the schools still there just like they would be on a normal day, except there are no people to be seen. It is the emptiness that scares you.Now

48、 a real-life ghost city is being built in the US. But fortunately, it has nothing to do with zombies - it is going to be a place to test the technology of the futureCalled CITE - the Center for Innovation(创新), Testing and Evaluation(测评) - the city is the idea of technology company Pegasus Global Hol

49、dings. Covering an area of 15 square miles (39 square kilometers), it is the size of a small US city and sits in the middle of the New Mexico desert.But why do we need an empty city that nobody will call home?The reason is that we cant afford to test the latest technologies in the cities that we liv

50、e in - they might not be ready and could cause problems and danger in our everyday lives.It will be a true laboratory without the problems and safety issues that come with people living there. Here you can break things and run into things, and get used to how they work, before taking them out into t

51、he market, Pegasus managing director Robert Brumley told technology magazine Wired.In fact, without worrying about hurting people, anybody with a new idea can ask to test it in this city. Just think about the possibilities- driverless cars can move freely on the streets, homes with robots can be des

52、igned and energy sources like nuclear power can also be put to the test.As good as the idea may seem, however, there are still doubts about CITE. One of the most difficult things to do when developing these new technologies is to have them safely move around people, who can suddenly jump out in fron

53、t of something, Reese Jones, a founder of Singularity University, US, told Fortune magazine.Jones is worried that, even if a technology works perfectly well in CITE, introducing it to a real city will still be a whole different story because there will be people living in the city.But no matter what

54、, perhaps we should wait until CITE is finished in 2018. Maybe it will turn out to work just fine.1、The empty city is being built_.Aso people can experience the technology of the futureBto try driverless cars and robots inCto test new technology inDas a place full of the latest technology2、Which of

55、the following statements is TRUE about CITE?AIt is located beside the New Mexico desert.BIt was started by Singularity University.CThings in the city can easily be broken down and built again.DAnyone can ask to try out their new designs there.3、According to Jones,_.ACITE offers great possibilities f
