23、The well-known Tsinghua University and Peking University held graduation ceremonies (典礼) on the same day this year. The presidents of the two universities delivered excellent speeches at the ceremonies as they used words, phrases or ways of expression that are very popular on the Internet currently. At the same time, graduation speeches by other university presidents were also under the spotlight for the same reason. Their speeches were warmly welcomed by students as they contained many fashionable words today, such as “floating clouds” (meaning “too small and of little importance to mention”) and “gelivable”   (meaning ”very helpful”) .

24、The next time San Francisco residents stop a taxi, they may step into a car with no one behind the wheel. Driverless taxis are now allowed to come on the city’s streets. On June 2, 2022, Cruise, a division of General Motors (GM), was approved to charge for rides in its self-driving cars, becoming the first company allowed to operate commercial driverless cars in a major US city.

Though Cruise is regarding it as a big win, its self-driving cars aren’t totally free to run on the streets of San Francisco as they please. Cruise vehicles will be limited to transporting passengers in less crowded areas of the city between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. The speed limit is 30 mph. They are also not allowed to operate in heavy rain or fog. The rules are meant to reduce any injuries or accidents.

Cruise plans to launch the service gradually with a team of just 30 cars. The first robotaxis will be improved versions of GM’s Chevrolet Bolt. However, the company is seeking approval to get its custom-built Cruise Origin on public roads. The driverless electric vehicle has no wheels or pedals(踏板) and can attain highway speeds. The car consists mostly of a siting space, where passengers can face each other.

Cruise’s ability to obtain the commercial permit to operate is a big step forward. However, the company still has to convince passengers that its technology is safe. Many remain concerned about safety. A 2021 survey by the American Automobile Association found that 74 percent of Americans are afraid to ride in a self-driving vehicle.

It remains to be seen how the new driverless taxi experiment will play out in San Francisco. But based on the vast number of companies that are racing to develop self-driving vehicles and the tens of thousands of people on waitlists for robotaxi rides, the Cruise pioneering program is at least set for popularity, if not success.

【1】What can we learn about the Cruise’s driverless ride services?

A．The services have turned out to be a great success.

B．The services receive great support from the public.

C．The services have run in some major cities of the USA.

D．The services are limited to some regions of San Francisco.

【2】What does the author describe in detail in paragraph 3?

A．The feature of Cruise Origin.

B．The future of self-driving cars.

C．The original plan of the company.

D．The new version of Chevrolet Bolt.

【3】What is the attitude of most Americans towards the self-driving taxis?

A．Doubtful.

B．Opposed.

C．Favourable.

D．Unconcerned.

【4】What can be the best title of the text?

A．Cruise Offers Free Self-driving Ride Services

B．Self-driving Cars Are Coming to San Francisco

C．Self-driving Vehicles Are Popular in Major Cities

D．Companies Begin to Charge for Rides in Self-driving Cars

25、A Need to Close the Digital Gender Gap

One of the most efficient ways to promote peace and jump-start flagging economies is to empower girls and invest in their education. Today, girls’ lack of access to basic education is _______when it comes to the use of digital technology, leaving them far behind boys. And because the world is ever more digital, those who lack basic Internet skills will find it_________difficult to participate in the formal economy, to obtain a quality education, to_______health care, information and psychosocial support, and to have their voices heard.

Since 2013 the global gender gap in male and female access to the Internet has actually increased from 11 to 12 percent. _________yet, women and girls living in the poorest countries are 31 percent less_________than men and boys to have access to the Internet. In developing countries, some 200 million fewer women than men own a mobile phone, the most common means of Internet access there. This digital_________is increasing, and should it continue at the present pace, it is predicted that over 75 percent of women and girls will lack Internet access and _________skills.

There are many causes for the digital gender gap. They include girls’ obvious ___________from basic education, from specific technology education and design, high costs of both___________and Internet access, scarcity of content relevant for women and girls, and socio-cultural biases and____________, such as barriers to women speaking freely and privately both online and offline. Indeed, one of the most insidious (隐伏的) reasons why girls may be____________from learning how to access and use digital technology is also a groundless one: that girls are simply not good at using technology. The United Nations has announced that human rights online are human rights offline. These stereotypes reinforce harmful norms that keep women and girls from enjoying their human rights.

According to the International Institute for Sustainable Development, an independent, non-profit and non-governmental research organization, the gender digital gap is a major__________to women’s economic empowerment and participation in the economy. __________a major increase of policy effort and investment, most of the benefits of technological change will be enjoyed only by men, worsening gender inequality. This also results in____________economic growth and innovation that is possible only when men and women have equal access to technology and the economy.
