That is, generally ，younger people tend to outnumber older people in face of a new technology.It is not always the case, though. When you look at attitudes toward driverless cars, theredoesnt seem to be a clear generational divide. The public overall disagree on whether theydlike to use a driverless car。 In a study last year， of all people surveyed,48 percent said theywanted to ride in one, while 50 percent did not.The fact that attitudes toward self driving cars appear to be so steady across generationssuggests how transformative the shift to driverless cars could be。 Not everyone wants a driverlesscar nowand no one can get one yet but among those who are open to them ， every age group issimilarly included。When it comes to driverless cars ， differences in attitude are obvious based on factors notrelated to age。 College graduates, for example, are particularly interested in driverless carscompared with those who have less education： 59 percent of college graduates said they would liketo use a driverless car compared with 38 percent of those with a high 。school diploma or less。4江苏省盐城市响水中学 2020-2021 高一英语上学期期中试题Where a person lives matters, too。 More people who lived in cities and suburbs said they wantedto try driverless cars than those who lived in rural areas.While theres reason to believe that interest in self.driving cars is going up， a personsage will have little to do with how selfdriving cars can become mainstream. Once driverless carsare really available for sale, the early adopters will be the people who can afford to buy them。24。 What usually happens when a new technology appears?A。 It benefits society greatly.B。 The old are not happy with it。C. People of different ages respond differently.D. It will separate the old from the young.25. What does the author say about the driverless car？A. It makes peoples life more convenient。B. It can lead to fewer road accidents。C. It may start a change in the car industry。D。 It does not seem to create a generational divide.26。 What is likely to affect a persons attitude towards the driveless car？A。 The field of his special interest。B。 The location of his living place.C。 The amount of his driving training.D。 The length of his driving experience。27. Who are the most potential customers of the driverless car?A. The seniors。C. The educated。B。 The wealthy.D。 The car lovers.C CThe bed should be reserved as a place for sleep ， but people tend to read an iPad a lot inbed before they go to sleep。Charles Czeisler, a professor at Harvard Medical School， and his colleagues got a small groupof people for an experiment 。 For five days in a row, the people read either a paper book or aniPad for four hours before sleep. Their sleep patterns were monitored all night。 Before and aftereach trial period， the people took hourly blood tests to paint a day long picture of just howmuch melatonin（褪黑激素)was in their blood at any given time.When subjects read on the iPad as compared to the paper books, they reported feeling less sleepyat night and less active the following morning 。 People also took longer to fall asleep on theiPad nights， and the blood tests showed that their melatonin secretion( 分泌）was delayed by an5江苏省盐城市响水中学 2020-2021 高一英语上学期期中试题hour and a half.The researchers conclude in todays journal article that gives the rise of e-readers and theincreasingly widespread use of ethings among children and adolescents， more research into the“longterm consequences of these devices on health and safety is urgently needed.” Czeislerand colleagues go on, in the research paper， to note “Reading an iPad in bed may increase cancerrisk。”However, software has been developed that can reduce some of the blue light from the screensof phones and computers according to time of day ， and there are also glasses that are made tofilter（过滤）short wavelengths。 While they seem like a logical solution for the nighttime techusers, it needs more research.28. In Charles Czeislers experiment， all the subjects were asked to _.A。 sit in a row and receive the strict testsB。 have their sleep patterns observed all nightC. read a paper book and an iPad at the same timeD. have their blood tested per hour during the trial29。 The third paragraph tells us the iPad readers were likely to _.A. feel less sleepy and tired in the dayB。 fall asleep more easily after readingC. have a lot more melatonin secretionD。 become less energetic the next morning30。 The special software recently developed can _。A。 remove the blue light from your devices completelyB。 help prevent eyes being harmed by short wavelengthC. weaken the harm done by doing nighttime e-readingD。 be used in all the e-things widely and safely31. Whats this passage mainly about?A. No e-reading in bed before sleepB. New software for night e-readersC. Wrong behaviors before bedtimeD. No games on iPad in bed。DChristopher Thomas， 27， was a writer by night and a teacher by day when he noticed he wasalways tired and was losing weight fast 。 Diagnosed with diabetes( 糖尿病）,Thomas would need toinject himself with insulin(胰岛素）three times a day for the rest of his life or risk nerve damage，blindness, and even death.
