Self-driving cars might soon have to make such ethical(
11、道德的) judgments on their own but settling on a universal moral code for the vehicles could be a tough task, suggests a survey.The largest ever survey of machine ethics, called the Moral Machine, laid out 13 possible situations in which someones death was unavoidable. Respondents were asked to choose
12、who to spare in situations that involved a mix of variables: young or old, rich or poor, more people or fewer. Within 18 months, the online quiz had recorded 40 million decisions made by people from 233 countries and territories.When the researchers analysed these answers, they found that the nation
13、s could be divided into three groups. One contains North America and several European nations where Christianity has been the dominant(占支配地位的) religion; another includes countries such as Japan, Indonesia and Pakistan, with strong Confucian or Islamic traditions. A third group consists of countries
14、in Central and South America, such as Colombia and Brazil. The first group showed a stronger preference for sacrificing older lives to save younger ones than did the second group, for example.The researchers also identified relationships between social and economic factors in a country. They found t
15、hat people from relatively wealthy countries with strong institutions, such as Finland and Japan, more often chose to hit people who stepped into traffic illegally than did respondents in nations with weaker institutions, such as Nigeria or Pakistan.People rarely face such moral dilemmas, and some c
16、ities question whether the possible situations posed in the online quiz are relevant to the ethical and practical questions surrounding driverless cars. But the researchers argue that the findings reveal cultural differences that governments and makers of self-driving cars must take into account if
17、they want the vehicles to gain public acceptance.At least Barbara Wege, who heads a group working on autonomous-vehicle ethics at Audi in Ingolstadt, Germany, says such studies are valuable. Wege argues that self-driving cars would cause fewer accidents, proportionally, than human drivers do each ye
18、ar but that people might focus more on events involving robots.Surveys such as the Moral Machine can help to begin public discussions about these unavoidable accidents that might develop trust. “We need to come up with a social consensus,” she says, “about which risks we are willing to take.”24.Why
19、is it difficult to set universal moral rules for programming self-driving cars?A.Social values always change with the times.B.Moral choices vary between different cultures.C.Drivers have a preference for sacrificing the weak.D.Car makers are faced with decisions of life or death.25.The researchers c
20、onducted the study by _.A.using a massive online quiz worldwideB.comparing different cultures and customsC.dividing the respondents into three groupsD.performing a series of controlled experiments26.According to the study, in which country are drivers more likely to hit a pedestrian crossing the roa
21、d illegally?A.Nigeria. B.Colombia.C.Finland. D.Indonesia.27.Barbara Wege would probably agree that _.A.Self-driving cars will greatly improve the traffic environmentB.Accidents caused by self-driving cars might receive more attentionC.Problems involving self-driving cars might shake the public trust
22、 in societyD.Car makers neednt take the risk of solving self-driving car ethical dilemmasCSixty-four-year-old Pierre Deom has spent his entire life close to the woods and fields that he loves. Twice a year, his magazine, La Hulotte, focuses on an animal or plant native to the French countryside.The
23、100th edition was published in November. The magazine counts more than 150,000 subscribers in many countries, and is doing very well financially. Deom says it all began in January 1972, when he was teaching science in a one-room schoolhouse here. “It upset me how the forests and swamps were beginnin
24、g to be ruined. The word ecology(生态学) didnt really exist yet. Some friends and I wanted to call 3attention to the issue. So we said, lets educate the kids. Theyre ready to hear our message.” So he took a step into the unknown, planning to publish his nature journal.Deom does all the research and wri
25、ting and the illustrations(插图) of the magazine by hand. He combines science and humor in his writing and drawing to describe the daily life and sufferings of his creatures. Animals you might overlook or consider dull are magically and vividly brought to life in La Hulotte. “I try to write about anim
26、als and plants that are easy to find because I want kids to put on boots, take a magnifying glass, go to the woods and fields to observe and be amazed by what they find,” Deom says.And it seems to work. Biologist Jerome Fournier began subscribing to La Hulotte when he was just eight years old. “For
27、me it was the first contact with nature when I was a child. And maybe its the beginning for my life of scientist. I think so.”Whats amazing is its approach. The magazine has realistic drawings and also a little cast of cartoon creatures who comment on things and give a different views. You can read
28、it as an adult or a child; it can be understood on two different levels. So scientists, regular people and children all get something out of it. “Its extraordinary.” Fournier says, who works at the Museum of Natural History in Paris, where he says La Hulotte has a crazy following.28.

Its very likely that someone in your family owns something made of gold, especially since China is one of the worlds biggest bu
32、yers of gold jewellery. Its even in our smartphones they contain parts made from this expensive material.But where does this beautiful metal actually come from? The answer: outer space.This August, Chinese scientists became the first in the world to witness gravitational waves(引力波) caused by the col
33、lision of neutron(中子) stars, reported Xinhua News Agency.The sight was witnessed at Chinas Kunlun Antarctic Station at the South Pole, and Insight, Chinas first X-ray astronomical satellite, also contributed to the discovery.Although collisions of black holes have been recorded before, this was the
34、first time that two neutron stars were known to have collided. Its believed that such collisions lead to huge explosions of energy, and even to the creation of precious metals such as gold and silver.“The collision of neutron stars is like a very large gold factory in the universe,” Jin Zhiping, a r
35、esearcher at the Purple Mountain Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, told Xinhua.According to an article published by , scientists have long believed gold and other materials are created in this way, but it wasnt until the recent collision that their theory was confirmed.“The origin of t
36、he really heaviest chemical elements in the universe had confused the scientific community for quite a long time,” Hans Thomas Janka, a senior scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Germany, said in a news release. “Now, we have the first observational proof for neutron star merge
37、rs(合并) as sources.”4Indeed, the recently observed collision is thought to have produced an amount of gold that would weigh 10 times more than Earth, according to New Scientist.Dont expect to be showered in gold any time soon, however. The collision actually took place 130 million years ago, taking a

Their careers are short-lived. Many athletes best time only lasts a few years and singers
44、 can have a very limited career. The field that was once the focus of their lives becomes something they have little or no involvement in. As a result, theyll have a feeling of worthlessness and a lack of control. 38 The truth is quite simple: they have been so far removed from it for so long.In spi

Globally, more and more TV shows provide talent competitions where winners can achieve their goals in just a few weeks
46、 or months. 39 They unrealistically believe that this lifestyle is easily obtained and leads to great satisfaction.While many people argue that there is nothing wrong with having such ambitions, others feel that this trend will finally lead to dissatisfaction as more and more people are unable to re
