21、   Attitudes toward new technologies often fall along generational lines. That is, generally, younger people tend to outnumber older people on the front end of a technological change. It is not always the case, though. When you look at attitudes toward driverless cars, there doesn’t seem to be a clear generational divide. The public overall is split on whether they’d like to use a driverless car. In a study last year, of all people surveyed, 48 percent said they wanted to ride in one, while 50 percent did not.

The fact that attitudes toward self-driving cars appear to be so steady across generations suggests how transformative the change to driverless cars could be. Not everyone wants a driverless car now-and no one can get one yet—but among those who are open to them, every age group is similarly involved.

Actually, this isn’t surprising. Whereas older generations are sometimes reluctant to adopt new technologies, driverless cars promise real value to these age groups in particular. Older adults, especially those with limited mobility or difficulty driving on their own are one of the classic use-cases for driverless cars.

This is especially interesting when you consider that younger people are generally more interested in travel-related technologies than older ones.

When it comes to driverless cars, differences in attitude are more pronounced based on factors not related to age. College graduates, for example, are particularly interested in driverless cars compared with those who have less education: 59 percent of college graduates said they would like to use a driverless car compared with 38 percent of those with a high-school diploma or less.

Where a person lives matters, too. More people who lived in cities and suburbs said they wanted to try driverless cars than those who lived in rural areas.

While there’s reason to believe that interest in self-driving cars is going up across the board, a person’s age will have little to do with how self-driving cars can become mainstream. Once driverless cars are actually available for sale, the early adopters will be the people who can afford to buy them.

【1】What happens when a new technology appears?

A.It farther widens the gap between the old and the young.

B.It usually draws different reactions from different age groups.

C.It often leads to innovations in other related fields.

D.It contributes greatly to the advance of society as a whole.

【2】What does the author say about the driverless car?

A.It will not necessarily reduce road accidents.

B.It has given rise to unrealistic expectations.

C.It does not seem to create a generational divide.

D.It may start a revolution in the car industry.

【3】Why does the driverless car appeal to some old people?

A.It adds to the safety of their travel.

B.It saves their energy.

C.It arouses their interest in life.

D.It helps with their mobility.

【4】What is likely to affect one’s attitude toward the driverless car?

A.The location of their residence.

B.The amount of training they received.

C.The length of their driving experience.

D.The field of their special interest.

22、Traveling allows you the opportunity to explore new places and unplug from daily routines and distractions. But let’s face it: Sometimes you want and need to stay connected when traveling abroad. Beyond scrolling through news and keeping up on social media, having a cellphone can be an essential tool to connect with other travelers and find cheap accommodation. 【1】 Here are tips to avoid the high international roaming (漫游) charges.

Buy a local SIM Card. One of the most affordable ways to stay connected while traveling is to bring your phone and buy a prepaid SIM card at your destination. Before you travel, check with your provider to make sure your phone will work abroad. Swapping out the SIM card will give you a new international number. Make sure you keep your original SIM card in a safe place. 【2】

Use Wi-Fi Only. If you check email or social media infrequently and don’t feel the need to constantly upload travel photos. waiting until you can connect to free wireless networks can save you a lot. 【3】 While you’re at it, switch off any apps that grab data. Look for restaurants, cafes or public spaces that offer free access to Wi-Fi.

【4】 To save time and money, load up your phone in advance with travel and other apps, music, books, maps, travel guides and anything else you may need. Free Wi-Fi can be slow in many public areas. And you don’t want to get stuck waiting for a map or guide to load when you need it.

Disconnect. While you can find plenty of uses for your phone while traveling, there are also good reasons to disconnect. Be engaged as you explore new places. 【5】 Technology is so ubiquitous (无所不在的) in work and personal lives that it can be hard to focus on a new culture if all you’re doing is staring down at your phone.

A．Download Before You Go.

B．Know your limits and try to overcome them.

C．Make sure you put your phone in airplane mode.

D．That card is associated with your new phone number.

E．Sometimes you fail to wander in a totally new environment.

F．Immerse yourself in the sights and sounds and enjoy the moment.

G．Your phone is also a key connection to friends and family back home.

23、“We need to shampoo the patient s hair,” said Kristen, a physician assistant. Operating room nurse Jess seconded the idea. With the two of them advocating, it needed to happen.

Somehow for the last 23 years, as a man with short hair, I’d always considered a wash with water to be enough to clean a patient’s hair after surgery. We would wash it the day after. That’s just how we’d done things. But why not wash it in the operating room before the patient wakes up? The literature suggests no danger, so I went along with Kristen and Jess, and bought good shampoo.

The first time we did it, it seemed a little time-wasting. If it was about surgical cleanliness, it wasn’t required. As we continued to wash the patient’s hair, I began to notice the effect it had on everyone else in the room. The shampoo transformed the room to a spa for just a few minutes. The patient was the subject of the cleansing, but we benefited too. It was a quiet, collective feeling, knowing that we were finishing our work well. The sweet smell of washing fixed that in our minds.

Patients say they don’t care about hair, but they do. It can be a symbol of power or beauty, as with Samson or Rapunzel. A contemporary example, hair in Namwali Serpell’s novel The Old Drifts serves as a symbol of individual and personality. People definitely care about their hair.

Washing the hair with nice shampoo symbolizes the beginning of some kind of recovery, a return to a new normal for the patient, cleansing away the misfortune that caused them to need me.

We sent the patient out of the room with clean hair, knowing and showing that we’d cared for them well. The patient is more than a case—they’re a fellow human, after all. A postsurgical shampoo seems like a good talisman (护身符), and it’s not time-wasting.

【1】What can we learn about the first hair-washing experience in the operating room?

A．The patient was a man with short hair.

B．The idea was first put forward by Jess

C．The experience was a total waste of time.

D．The author realized various benefits afterwards.

【2】What’s the author’ s purpose in writing paragraph 4?

A．To explain the power of beauty.

B．To show what hair means to people.

C．To introduce a classic book about hair.

D．To discuss the effect of hair on personality.

【3】What will the author probably do in the future?

A．Wash patients’ hair before surgery.

B．Stop wasting time on hair-washing.

C．Continue to shampoo patients’ hair.

D．Give patients talismans for good luck.

【4】Which of the following best describes the author as a doctor?

A．Honest.

B．Ambitious.

C．Caring.

D．Generous.

24、AIDS may be one of the most undesirable diseases in the world. Luckily, there is now hope for AIDS patients.

According to a recent paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine，Chinese scientists have successfully used CRISPR technology -a method of gene editing-to treat a patient with HIV. While it may not have cured the patient fully, it still represents a huge step forward in fighting the disease.

The patient was a 27-year-old Chinese man who was diagnosed with both AIDS and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (淋巴母细胞白血病), a type of blood cancer. Despite his bleak situation, doctors offered him a little hope: a bone marrow (骨髓) transplant to treat his cancer and an experimental treatment for his HIV. They used this chance to edit the DNA in bone marrow stem cells (干细胞) from a donor before transplanting the cells into the patient.

Specifically, the treatment involved using the gene-editing tool CRISPR-Cas9 to delete a gene known as CCR5, which encodes (给…编码) a protein that HIV uses to get inside human cells. Without the gene, HIV is unable to enter cells. Talking about the gene, lead scientist Deng Hongkui told CNN, “After being edited, the cells and the blood cells they produce have the ability to resist HIV infection.” Nineteen months after the treatment, the patients leukemia was in complete remission( 缓 解 ) and donor cells without CCR5 remained, according to the research paper.

Though the transplant didn't cure the man’s HIV, it still showed the effectiveness of gene-editing technology, as there was no indication of any unintended genetic changes-a major concern with past gene-editing treatment experiments. Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in the United States, who was not involved in the study, praised the treatment. “They did a very creative experiment, and it was safe,” he told Live Science. “It should be viewed as a success.”

Deng believes gene-editing technology could “bring a new dawn” to blood related diseases such as AIDS and sickle-cell anaemia ( 镰 状 细 胞 贫 血 ). “Thanks to this new technology, the goal of a functional cure for AIDS is getting closer and closer,” he said.

【1】The underlined word “bleak” in Paragraph3 probably means “______”.

A．hopeless

B．unstable

C．embarrassing

D．unique

【2】How did the treatment fight against HIV?

A．By identifying and killing HIV.

B．By changing the structure of HIV.

C．By preventing HIV entering cells.

D．By removing a protein HIV feeds on.

【3】What is the result of the treatment?

A．Gene-edited cells are able to resist HIV infection.

B．The number of cells infected by HIV has decreased.

C．CCR5 and other genes in the patient's cells are changed.

D．Unintended genetic changes have taken place in the patient's cells.

【4】What can we know about the experiment?

A．It pointed out the problems of gene treatment.

B．It provided a new way to cure AIDS patients fully.

C．It could offer a safe treatment for blood-related diseases.

D．It was the first example to use gene-editing tool to treat AIDS.
