People in the US can now carry an
artificial intelligence (AI) around in their pocket, where it waits patiently to
be told what to do.

from a US military project to develop an artificially intelligent assistant.
Many people’s experience of a "virtual assistant" may be
limited to Microsoft’s annoying classic Mr. Clippy. But in the week we spent

[单项选择] Passage Two
People can be addicted to different things — e.g.
alcohol, drugs, certain foods, or even television. People who have such addition
are compulsive, i.e. they have a very powerful psychological need that
they feel they must spend money. This compulsion, like most others, is
irrational — impossible to explain reasonably. For compulsive spenders who buy
on credit, charge accounts are even more exciting than money. In other words,
compulsive spenders feel that with credit, they can do anything. Their pleasure
in spending enormous amounts is actually greater than the pleasure that they get
from the things they buy.
There is special psychology of bargain
hunting. To save money, of course, most people search for sales, low prices and

[单项选择]Passage Two
People are living longer than ever, but for some reason, women are living longer than men. A baby boy born in the United States in 2003 can expect to live to be about 73, a baby girl, about 79. This is indeed a wide gap, and no one really knows why it exists. The greater longevity (长寿) of women, however, has been known for centuries. It was, for example, described in the seventeenth century. However, the difference was smaller then—the gap is growing.
A number of reasons have been proposed to account for the differences. The gap is greatest in industrialized societies, so it has been suggested that women are less susceptible to work strains that may raise the risk of heart disease and alcoholism. Sociologists also tell us that women are encouraged to be Jess adventurous than men (and this may be why they are more careful drivers, involved in fewer accidents).
Even smoking has been implicated in the age discrepancy. It was once suggested that working women are
A. Men’s lifespan remains almost unchanged.
B. Researchers have found the causes of the age gap.
C. The more advanced a society, the greater the age gap.
D. The age gap was noticed only recently.
[单项选择] Passage Two
Many people think a telephone is
essential. But I think it is a pest and a time waster. Very often you find it
impossible to escape from some idle or inquisitive chatter-box, or from somebody
who wants something for nothing. If you have a telephone in your own house, you
will admit that it tends to ring when you least want it to ring; when you are
asleep, or in the middle of a meal or a conversation, or when you are just going
out, or when you are in your bath. Are you strong-minded enough to ignore it, to
say to yourself, "Ah, well it will all be the same in a hundred year’s time"
You are not. You think there may be some important news or message for you. I
can assure you that if a message is really important it will reach you sooner or
later. Have you never rushed dripping from the bath, or chewing from the table,
or dazed from th
A. Harmful thing.
B. Insignificant thing.
C. Troublesome thing
D. Trivial thing
