A study finds that one tenth of homes already own a robot vacuum cleaner and one seventh of homes plan to buy one this year, meaning they are likely to be the most popular technology of 2025. Aviva's new“How We Live” report shows that robot vacuum cleaners are the most popular among people aged 25 to 34. Almost one fifth of them already have one. And another one quarter of them plan to buy one in the next 12 months. Robot vacuum cleaners have become much better in recent years. Early models cleaned in fixed patterns(固定模式), so they often missed some spots. But the newest ones use lasers and cameras. They can map out the rooms and know where they are, so they clean more completely. Last year, people in Britain spent over £300 million on robot grass cutters. As new technology makes these robot grass cutters work better, the market is expected to grow more than double in the next five years. The report shows that British families love new technology, especially when it saves them even a little time or makes things easier and faster to finish. Wireless charging stations (无线充电站), for example, are the most popular new technology. New safety technologies are also more needed. The report notes that almost one third of homes have now fixed smart doorbells and smart safety cameras. These systems are linked to their owners’ phones, allowing them to see who is at their doors. Hannah Davidson, of Aviva, said,“Robotics and smart homes are changing the way we live,offering convenience and safety like never before.” 46. Which thing in the following pictures is a robot vacuum cleaner? 47. Why do the British families show a love of new technology? A. Because of its quietness. B. Because of its new pattern. C. Because of its clean energy. D. Because of its convenience. 48. Which writing method is mainly used in the passage? A. Using specific examples to explain ideas B. Telling a story to introduce a topic C. Only using numbers to show the popularity of new technology D. Asking questions to attract readers 49.

For thousands of years, humans have been making music for pleasure and to express themselves. Recently, there has been a rise in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to create music. AImakes music by analyzing(分析) many different songs, learning patterns and details, and then mixing pieces together in creative ways. Some AI music has become so popular that it has been shared widely online. However, some people think using AI to create music isn't truly original(原创的) or creative because it makes songs out of old music. What do you think? Is AI bad for creativity? Yes—AI music isn't creative. Using AI might be cheaper than paying a musician. If companies can use AI to produce popular music that makes lots of money from people buying and listening to it, it could put musicians out of work. If musicians can't earn money from music, there will be far fewer of them creating new songs. Anyway, listening to music that was made by a computer isn't the same experience as listening to human-made music. When musicians create songs, they put real feelings and experiences into their work, which builds a deep connection with listeners through their music.Music produced by AI isn't truly original, as it simply takes pieces from songs that have already been published. Therefore, it cannot be considered creative. No—AI can help spark(激发) new ideas. When people turn on their radio or headphones and a great new song comes on, it makes them feel good. A catchy tune (曲调) brings people together to sing and dance. If people are enjoying music, who cares whether it was made by a human or a machine? Music makers already use computers, which help to perfect sound and mix different parts of a song. Like computers, AIcan also help spark ideas. It won't replace(取代) musicians but they can work with it. Building on music created by AI could save time. It could allow lots more music to be produced and it could lead to new and special styles of music. AI could create exciting tunes that humans could never have dreamed of. Is AI bad for new music? Background Humans have a long 56 of creating music for fun and self-expression. But now, a growing 57 of people use AI to create music. It has caused a hot 58 among people about creativity. People who are for it. AI music isn't creative. ●AI costs 59 than hiring(雇佣) a musician, so it could take work from real musicians. ●AI music seldom shares real feelings and experiences, so it's harder for it to 60 with listeners than human music does. ●AI music 61 takes pieces from old songs, which may stop it from being creative. People who are 62 it AI can help spark new ideas. Whether the music is created by humans or AI doesn't 63 if people enjoy it. AI can be 64 as a helper to spark new ideas. AI pushes music 65 human limits(限制) and opens up new●/ideas. 六、选词填空(10) Charity is a kind act that brings warmth to people in need. Last weekend, our class 66 a charity sale when a girl came slowly.
