Amazon has opened 24 of its Amazon Go stores, which use cameras and artificial intelligence (AI) to see what you’ve taken off shelves and charge you as you walk out. Some companies are closely copying Amazon’s approach to using Al-powered cameras fixed in ceilings. But others are trying an entirely different way to skip the checkout: smart shopping carts. These companies have added cameras and sensors (传感器) to the carts, and are using AI to tell what you’ve put in them. Customers pay by entering a credit card, or through an online payment system. When a customer exits the store a green light on the shopping cart shows that their order is complete, and they’re charged.

The companies behind the smart carts, including Caper and Veeve, say it’s much easier to add technology to the shopping cart than to an entire store. Amazom’s Go stores rely on hundreds of cameras in the ceiling. The shelves also include sensors to tell when an item is removed. Ahmed Beshry, co-founder of Caper, believes the technology to run Go is too expensive to use in a large-format grocery store. Neither Caper nor Veeve have said how much their smart shopping carts will cost, making it difficult to compare the different formats. Shariq Siddiqui, CEO of Veeve, said, “We’re always happy when Amazon is doing something. They force retailers to get out of their old school thinking.”

Each time a business uses artificial intelligence and cameras, it raises questions about customers’ privacy and the effect on jobs. Beshry notes that the cameras in his shopping cart point down into the cart, so only a customer’s hand and part of their arm will be captured (拍摄) on camera.

【1】What do we know about the smart shopping carts?

A．They are linked to the cameras fixed in the ceilings.

B．They are able to recognize goods put in them.

C．They flash the green light when the order is canceled.

D．They can tell customers where to find what they want.

【2】What does Beshry think of the technology used in Amazon’s Go stores?

A．It is far more expensive than their shopping carts.

B．It is likely to help retailers to think differently.

C．It has attracted many more retailers than before.

D．It may reduce the cost of running a store greatly.

【3】When it comes to AI and cameras, What makes the public worried most?

A．That somebody may know their privacy.

B．That they can only buy goods online.

C．That goods in the stores may be more expensive.

D．That they behave to wait in a line for a longer time.

【4】What is the main idea of the text?

A．The new technology improves retail sale.

B．Smart shopping carts will let you skip the line.

C．Al-powered cameras are used in retail stores.

D．Artificial intelligence affects the future of job market.

27、A new report has concluded that advertising managers are becoming increasingly interested in children. Studies show that children influence about 50 percent of things that families buy, so they’re an attractive target for advertisers.

John Taylor, the author of the report, says:“Advertisers can reach their target in many ways. They can, for example, show an ad many times during school holidays, they can make the TV advertisements a little louder than the programmes to attract attention, or they can sponsor programmes and show their advertisements just before the programme begins.”

Most advertisements aimed at children are short, imaginative and often in the form of animated cartoons(动画片).“Children love the ads and watch them in the same way as any entertainment programmer,”Taylor says.

There’re concerns about advertising aimed at young people. The concerns are shared by Sarah Durham, a writer and journalist specializing in media analysis. “The most worrying thing is that children don’t think carefully when they see television advertisements. They’re less critical than adults and don’t usually realise the advertisement has a persuasive message, to encourage them or their parents to spend as much money as possible on the product or service,”she says.

There’re also concerns over the vast sums of money that junk food producers spend on advertising to persuade children to buy their food products. Many advertisements, argues Durham, sell food that is a lot higher in fat, salt and sugar than healthier alternatives. “Many companies target children with offers of free toys, models of cartoon characters and gimmicky（耍花招的）packaging.”

Government approaches to controlling advertising to children vary. In Sweden, one of the strictest countries where advertising is concerned, TV advertising to children under the age of 12 is banned. Greece bans television advertisements for children’s toys between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. Denmark and the Netherlands also have legal controls whereas France, Britain and Germany prefer self-regulation（自动调节）．

Some countries are not as certain as the Swedes that advertising to children is harmful. The French argue that children need to see many advertisements so that they can develop their ability to think as they grow up. The belief is that advertising will help children to be more aware of its persuasive power.

【1】What does John Taylor mainly talk about in Paragraph 2?

A．Ways in which advertisers reach children.

B．The time children spend watching television.

C．Examples of successful advertising to children.

D．The serious problems of advertising to children.

【2】Why is Sarah Durham concerned about advertising aimed at children?

A．TV ads limit children’s imagination.

B．TV ads affect children’s brain development.

C．Children lack the good sense to make decisions.

D．Children may spend lots of time watching television.

【3】What does Durham say about the food advertised?

A．It’s tasty.

B．It’s cheap.

C．It’s unhealthy.

D．It’s ready­made.

【4】What is the French’s attitude toward advertising to children?

A．Doubtful.

B．Relaxed.

C．Objective.

D．Unfavorable.

28、Giacomo Puccini was born in 1858 and was a son of a musical director. 【1】 He is remembered as a master of opera.

【2】 Many early forerunners of Impressionistic Music including Rimsky-Korsakov, Strauss, Schoenberg and Stravinsky, inspired him greatly.

Turandot, an opera based on an Italian drama by the same name, is by far considered to be one of Puccini’s most popular and most performed works.

It’s a pity that Puccini had no chance to watch his own great opera himself. 【3】

In this opera you can hear a traditional Chinese folk song, which is titled Molihua or Jasmine Flower. 【4】 Among them the version sung in Jiangsu, a province in south China, is the most popular one. By admiring the jasmine flower, the song celebrates the sweetness and beauty of romantic love. 【5】 In 1804 the song was published in a book by British diplomat, making it the first Chinese folk song that gained popularity outside China.

A．Turandot is performed regularly all over the world

B．At the end of the 18th century. it was first translated into English

C．It’s believed that Puccini’s operas are strong in emotion and conflict.

D．The opera was first performed in 1926, two years after Puccini’s death.

E．During his music career, Puccini was also influenced by other musicians.

F．Though Puccini received training in various areas of music, his true love was in opera

G．There are many different versions of Molihua or Jasmine Flower in different parts of China.

29、   My father died when I was nine, and I remember doing the household chores to help my mother. I hated changing the vacuum cleaner (真空吸尘器) bag and picking up things the machine did not suck up.

Twenty years later, in 1978, I was doing chores at home alongside my wife. One day the vacuum cleaner was screaming away, and I had to empty the bag because I could not find a replacement for it. With this lifelong hatred of the way the machine worked, I decided to make a bagless vacuum cleaner.

Easier said than done, of course. I didn’t realize that I would spend the next five years perfecting my design, a process that resulted in 5,127 different prototypes (设计原型). By the time I made my 15th prototype, my third child was born. By 2,627, my wife and I were really counting our pennies. By 3,727, my wife was giving art lessons for some extra cash, and we were getting further and further into debt. These were tough times, but each failure brought me closer to solving the problem.

I just had a passion for the vacuum cleaner as a product, but I never thought of going into a business with it. In the early 1980s, I started trying to get licensing agreements (许可协议) for my technology. The reality was very different, however. The major vacuum makers had built a business model based on the profits from bags and filters (滤网). No one would license my idea, not because it was a bad one, but because it was bad for business.

That gave me the courage to keep going, but soon after, the companies that I had talked with started making machines like mine. I had to fight legal battles on both sides of the Atlantic to protect the patents on my vacuum cleaner. However, I was still in financial difficulties until 1993, when my bank manager personally persuaded Lloyds Bank to lend me $1 million. Then I was able to go into production. Within two years, the Dyson vacuum cleaner became a best-seller in Britain.

Today, I still embrace risk and the potential for failure as part of the process. Nothing beats the excitement of invention. Go out and brainstorm your ideas. You are not bound to any rules — in fact, the stranger and riskier your idea, the better.

【1】According to the article, which of the following statements about James Dyson is NOT true?

A.He lost his father during his childhood and lived with his mother.

B.He decided to develop an innovative vacuum cleaner for his wife while in his thirties.

C.He built over five thousand prototypes of the vacuum cleaner between 1978 and 1983.

D.The vacuum cleaner he reinvented became popular with British customers as soon as it arrived on the market.

【2】According to the article, Dyson’s bagless vacuum cleaner was produced in large numbers _______

A.in the carly 1980s

B.before he obtained a patent on the product

C.after his bank manager agreed to lend him $I million

D.after he managed to get a S1 million loan

【3】It can be inferred from the article that _______.

A.Dyson was a born businessman

B.Dyson's invention might have ended up in failure without his wife

C.Dyson had no confidence in his vacuum cleaner initially

D.Dyson's vacuum cleaner was never recognized by other vacuum makers

【4】According to the article, which of the following would most likely be Dyson’s motto?

A.We are all failures — at least the best of us are.

B.The foundation stones for a success are honesty, faith, love and loyalty.

C.It is only in adventure that some people succeed in knowing themselves.

D.The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
