Ⅳ. 阅读理解 Now a new generation(一代人) is appearing. Meet Generation Alpha, the first generation born in the 21st century, exactly between 2010 and 2024. Alphas are expected to be the largest generation in history, with more than two billion members worldwide. They’re growing up in a world where technology is not just a tool, but a necessary part of daily life. The oldest Alphas were born the same year the iPad showed up, giving them the name “iPad Kids”. They are born into a world of artificial intelligence(AI)(人工智能). Even in the classroom AI is being used to help them in learning. In fact, this is the first generation that is growing up with parents who themselves are digital natives, says scientist Dr. Melissa Bohnert. Alphas were also all born after the introduction of smartphones. This will give them valuable digital skills for the future. This generation will also live a longer life and be more educated. It’s believed that Alphas will live at home until they are older and most likely work longer than past generations did. They will stay at jobs until they are in their late seventies. Members of this generation care about poor people. “Alphas bring a sense of empathy(同理心) because they’re connected globally to the problems of their world,” says social researcher Mark McCrindle. “Moreover, they also worry about the health of the earth.” In a study, 87% of 13—15-year-olds agreed that it’s up to their generation to stop environmental problems from worsening. McCrindle says he sees Alpha as “the beginning of a whole new reality”. Their technological ability and global understanding could help them deal with different challenges in creative ways. With education and guidance they’ll grow up, creating a world where technology and human beings get along well. 1.What is another name for the oldest Generation Alpha members? A. IPad Kids. B.
