B A serious problem for todays society is who should be responsible for our elderly and how to improve their lives. It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our soci

9、ety. I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem. First, employers should take the responsibility for their retired employees. To make this possible, a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose. But when a company must take life-long responsibility for its emp

10、loyees, it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs. Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual. This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement. This does not seem a very fair model

11、since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years. This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor. In addition, the government could take responsibility for the care of the elderly. This could be finan

12、ced through government taxes to increase the level of pensions. Furthermore, some institutions should be created for senior citizens, which can help provide a comfortable life for them. Unfortunately, as the present situation in our country shows, this is not a truly viable answer. The government ca

13、n seldom afford to care for the elderly, particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young. One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some working places especially for the elderly where they are independent. To sum up, all these options have advantages an

14、d disadvantages. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that some combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations. 24. What is the writers main purpose in writing this article? A. To discuss some possible solutions to an important social probl

15、em. B. To make general readers aware of the problems of retired people. C. To point out the need for government support for old people. D. To instruct retired people on how they can have a happier life. 25. According to the passage, how can the government help to improve the lives of retired people?

16、 A. Set aside some profits to help people with problems after they retire. B. Increase savings levels of people during their working years. C. Increase the discounts for food and transport for the old. D. Make available pensions for those who have retired. 高三英语 3 / 9 26. What does the underlined wor

18、the problems of the old. D. Becoming independent should be the goal of most old people. C There may come a day when humans use robotic parts to enhance our abilities. But long before then, a seemingly opposite thing may take place, with robots being equipped with human tissue or other living cells t

19、o make them more lifelike. These “biohybrid” robots could be given muscle cells to help them perform tiny movement. And on a microscopic scale, tiny robots could be combined with bacteria to carry them through the body for precise medical procedures. In a new review of studies, an international grou

20、p of scientists and engineers described the state of biohybrid robotics -a field that is entering a “deep revolution in both the design principles and constitutive elements (构成要件 )” of robots. The review was published in the journal Science Robotics. “In this field, we utilize the functions of livin

21、g cells in artificial robots to make them perform better, said lead author Leonardo Ricotti of the BioRobotics Institute in Pisa, Italy. Scientist have created robots of all shapes and sizes with increasing complexity in recent decades. Some robots function well in factories. Robots smaller than a m

22、illimeter are being developed to be placed in the body to kill cancer cells or heal wounds. But whats lacking among all these fascinating robots is the range of fine movement and energy efficiency found in living organisms（生物体 ). Thats why its necessary to combine elements of living organisms with r

23、obots, said Ricotti. If robot movement and efficiency are improved, scientists could use them to explore the human body, monitor environments too small for current robots, or manufacture products with greater precision, the authors wrote in the review. There are limits to what these biohybrid robots

24、 can achieve, though, Ricotti said. Living cells need to be nourished（滋养） , which means that, for now, these robots tend to be short-lived. Also, biohybrid robots can operate only in the temperature range suitable for life. Despite these challenges, Ricotti and his colleagues said, the field of bioh

25、ybrid robots is rapidly developing from the “art of the possible” to the “reliable manufacturing”. 28. What can we learn about “biohybrid” robots from the passage? A.

D The AlphaGo programs victory is an example of how smart computers have become. But can artificial intelligence (AI) machines act et

29、hically(道德的 )? In other words, can they be honest and fair? One example of AI is driverless cars. They are already on California roads, so it is not too soon to ask whether we can program a machine to act ethically. As driverless cars improve, they will save lives. They will make fewer mistakes than

30、 human drivers do. Sometimes, however, they will face a choice between lives. Should the cars be programmed to avoid hitting a child running across the road, even if that will put their passengers at risk? What about making a sudden turn to avoid a dog? What if the only risk is damage to the car its

31、elf, not to the passengers? Perhaps there will be lessons to learn from driverless cars, but they are not super-intelligent beings. Teaching ethics to a machine even more intelligent than we are will be the bigger challenge. About the same time as AlphaGos triumph, Microsofts chatbot took a bad turn

32、. The software, named Taylor, was designed to answer messages from people aged 18-24. Taylor was supposed to be able to learn from the messages she received. She was designed to slowly improve her ability to handle conversations, but some people were teaching Taylor racist ideas. When she started sa
