Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(23-24高二上·山西吕梁·期末)Imagine Dad and I are watching the Olympic Games in our media room someday in the future. The screen drops down to cover one wall. We give our robot Sylvia our orders for popcorn and juice for dinner. She is only a machine but she looks like a human and helps with the housework.
We are having popcorn for dinner tonight because something is wrong with our oven (烤箱). It is broken and keeps on repeating that it doesn’t remember how to cook. Dad thinks the shooting star passing by Earth has caused the problem.
“I did see a shooting star yesterday,” I said, “Maybe that’s why I had trouble getting Sylvia started this morning. She turned around and around, hardly stood when she tried to take a step, and almost fell backwards. She finally started moving towards me, but then suddenly turned, and went backwards. I thought she was going to knock into a wall. It was lucky that she got her balance in the end and successfully stood up.”
At last, Sylvia arrives with our popcorn and drinks. I look at the screen and watch the Olympic Games. Sylvia watches it too. Dad gives her coins as a tip. Sylvia thanks him for the coins and starts to leave the room. Then she turns back to where we are sitting. I hear some clicking sounds. The sounds mean that she is searching her memory chips for information. “During the Olympics I should get medals, not coins,” she says.
Dad and I just look at each other. Sylvia doesn’t seem to know that robots aren’t supposed to think. Then we burst out laughing and award Sylvia a gold medal.
1.From Paragraph 3 we can learn __________.
A.Sylvia knocked into the wall. B.Sylvia was possibly out of order.
C.Sylvia was hit by a shooting star. D.Sylvia wouldn’t like to work for us.
2.Why does Sylvia ask for a medal as a tip?
A.Because she has got enough coins. B.Because she works hard for dinner.
C.Because she wants to watch the game. D.Because she has learned to think by memory chips.
3.How do Dad and I find Sylvia’s performance?
A.Worrying. B.Annoying. C.Amazing. D.Frightening.
4.What is the most suitable title for the text?
A.An extraordinary tip for a robot B.Our unexpected life in the future
C.The robot—an important helper D.The function of robots like humans
B
What if — and it is a big what if — you could meet your future self? What a very strange question, but one that is worth asking.
I’m a psychologist, well aware that talking about the theoretical consequences of traveling in a time machine can sound strange, coming from someone like me, but my research in the last 15 years has not been too far from this topic. I have explored the reasons why people have such a hard time making long-term decisions, and how they can finally make better choices.
People often imagine their future self as another person, which creates problems. To make sense of why, think about someone in your life who you barely know: a neighbour or a co-worker, for instance. If that stranger asked you to make a sacrifice (牺牲) for him, for example, to lend him money, you might politely decline. If we treat our future selves the same way, then it makes sense why we sometimes give in to short-term desires rather than do something we’ll feel better about in the long run.
If only we could try to make our future selves seem more like people like our partners, loved ones, or best friends. One way is to think of future selves in more concrete and vivid ways. In one recent study on the willingness to save for the post-working life, I cooperated with a bank and found that when customers were shown age-progressed images of themselves alongside encouraging messages about saving, their willingness was about 16% higher than people who merely received the encouraging messages.
You don’t need to wait for time travel or advanced AI for answers that you can act on. Simply taking a bit of time to picture this meeting can help you make better choices now, closing the divide between who you are today and who you’ll be tomorrow. All you need is a little imagination, and the willingness to put yourself in the shoes of a person you currently treat as a stranger.
5.What does the author indicate about time travel?
A.It’s relevant to psychology. B.It’s too unrealistic to explore.
C.It’s a key part of his research. D.It’s an unscientific topic for him.
6.Why do people struggle with making long-term decisions?
A.They lack decision-making ability. B.They barely consider future selves.
C.They view future selves as unfamiliar. D.They focus more on short-term desires.
7.What were the customers more likely to do after seeing their age-progressed images?
A.Save for their family. B.Put money into their retirement.
C.Think of future selves frequently. D.Give future selves some messages.
8.How can we make better choices according to the author?
A.Put ourselves in the shoes of someone else.
B.Use technology to get future selves visualized.
C.Try to have a meeting with our future versions.
D.Improve emotional connections with future selves.
