Living with your parents comes with its perks – meals ready, laundry done, pills and hot water at your bedside when you’re feeling unwell. But your parents can still drive you crazy – talking about your habits without a stop and trying to get involved in your relationships.
This partly explains why the idea of “living alone” is spreading rapidly across the world with more young adults preferring to go solo.
According to statistics gathered by the market research firm Euro-monitor International, the number of people living alone globally has almost doubled in the last decade and a half.
This rush to solitude (独居) is not only limited to the US and Europe, where social security is well developed. In fact, over recent years, it has grown most quickly in countries with booming economies, like China for example.
Census (人口普查) data released by the National Health and Family Planning Commission of China in May showed that today over 58 million Chinese people live alone. That’s a number bigger than that of US, UK and France combined”, the Economist reported.
In the past, adulthood in China used to mean getting married and having children. Not following this route was seen as a taboo (禁忌). This is still the mainstream standard, but things are starting to change. Living alone is shifting from being a transitional stage after graduation and before marriage to a long-time state for many.
The marriage age in China is rising, especially in urban areas. In Beijing, the average age of men getting married is 27.8, while that of women is 26.2, according to iFeng News.
Better employment opportunities allow women to have greater equality with men. That might make women more inclined to stay single and free from the burden of starting a new family.
5. What does the underlined word “perks” in para 1 mean
A. advantages B. disadvantages C. preference D. tradition
6. Which of the following is true according to the passage
A. the number of people living alone has almost doubled in China
B. people are more likely to live alone in developed countries
C. many Chinese think it unacceptable for young people to live alone
D. the average age of men getting married is 27.8 while that of women is 26.2
7. Many women tend to live alone because____________.
A. they want to be independent of their parents
B. the marriage age in China is rising.
C. they have the same chance to earn their living as men
D they dislike their parents being involved in their relationships
8. What could be the best title for the passage
A. China’s youth break free B. Living with your parents or living alone
C. A new life style D. China’s new youth
【答案】5. A 6. C 7. C 8. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了在过去，中国的年轻人独居是离经叛道之举，不为世人所接受。但调查显示，现在越来越多的年轻人挣脱了传统的束缚，正在加入“独居”的行列。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后的部分“meals ready, laundry done, pills and hot water at your bedside when you’re feeling unwell.”（饭菜准备好，衣服洗好，当你感觉不舒服时放在床边的热水和药片）可知这是在说明和父母住在一起的诸多好处，由此可知画线词词义为“好处”，故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“In the past, adulthood in China used to mean getting married and having children. Not following this route was seen as a taboo (禁忌).”（过去，在中国，成年意味着结婚生子。不走这条路被视为禁忌）可知C选项“许多中国人认为年轻人独居是不可接受的”这一表述正确。故选C。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Better employment opportunities allow women to have greater equality with men. That might make women more inclined to stay single and free from the burden of starting a new family.”（更好的就业机会使女性与男性更加平等。这可能会使女性更倾向于保持单身，并摆脱组建新家庭的负担）可知，许多女性倾向于独自生活是因为她们和男性有同样的谋生机会。故选C。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段“Census (人口普查) data released by the National Health and Family Planning Commission of China in May showed that today over 58 million Chinese people live alone.”（中国国家卫生和计划生育委员会5月份发布的人口普查数据显示，目前有5800多万中国人独居）结合全文内容，可知文章主要讲了在过去，中国的年轻人独居是离经叛道之举，不为世人所接受。但调查显示，现在越来越多的年轻人挣脱了传统观念的束缚，正在加入“独居”的行列。A选项“中国的年轻人挣脱了束缚”最适合作文章标题。故选A。

Tired of standing in line Wait a bit longer, and you may never have to again.
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 AI-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. Amazon’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 has 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 (零售店) to get out of their old school thinking.”
Each time a business uses AI 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.
9. What do we know about the smart shopping carts
A. They are able to recognize goods put in them.
B. They are linked to the cameras fixed in the ceilings.
C. They flash the green light when the order is canceled.
D. They can tell customers where to find what they want.
10. What does Beshry think of the technology used in Amazon’s Go stores
A. It is likely to help retailers to think differently.
B. It has attracted many more retailers than before.
C. It is far more expensive than their shopping carts.
D. It may reduce the cost of running a store greatly.
11. When it comes to AI and cameras, what makes the public worried most
A. That they can only buy goods online.
B. That goods in the stores may be more expensive.
C. That they have to wait in a line for a longer time.
D. That somebody may know their privacy.
12. What is the main idea of the text
A. The new technology improves retail sale.
B. AI-powered cameras are used in retail stores.
C. Artificial intelligence affects the future of job market.
D. Smart shopping carts will let you skip the line.
【答案】9. A 10. C 11. D 12. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一项新科技——智能购物车。它可以让人们免去长时间排队等待结账。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“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.(但其他人正在尝试一种完全不同的方式来跳过结账：智能购物车。这些公司在推车上添加了摄像头和传感器，并使用人工智能告诉你在推车里放了什么。)”可知，智能购物车上增加了摄相机和传感器，并运用AI技术可以告知你购物车里放了什么东西，即智能购物车能够识别放在购物车里面的货物。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Ahmed Beshry, co-founder of Caper, believes the technology to run Go is too expensive to use in a large-format grocery store.(Caper的联合创始人Ahmed Beshry认为，运行Go的技术太贵，无法在大型杂货店使用。)”可知 Beshry认为把运用到Go商店的技术应用到大型杂货店里太昂贵了。故选C。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Each time a business uses AI and cameras, it raises questions about customers’ privacy and the effect on jobs.(每次一家企业使用人工智能和摄像头，都会引发关于客户隐私和对工作影响的问题。)”可知，当提到 AI 技术和摄像机时，公众最担心的是隐私问题和对工作的影响。故选D。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。第一段“Tired of standing in line Wait a bit longer, and you may never have to again.(厌倦了排队？再等一段时间，你可能再也不用等了。)”引出下文解决排队问题的新发明。第二段中的But引出本文的说明对象，根据第三句“But others are trying an entirely different way to skip the checkout: smart shopping carts.(但其他人正在尝试一种完全不同的方式来跳过结账：智能购物车。)”可知，智能购物车可以让你免去长时间排队等待的问题。再通读全文可知，文章围绕智能购物车展开，D项“智能购物车会让你跳过排队”符合文意。故选D。

Living with your parents comes with its perks – meals ready, laundry done, pills and hot water at your bedside when you’re feeling unwell. But your parents can still drive you crazy – talking about your habits without a stop and trying to get involved in your relationships.
This partly explains why the idea of “living alone” is spreading rapidly across the world with more young adults preferring to go solo.
According to statistics gathered by the market research firm Euro-monitor International, the number of people living alone globally has almost doubled in the last decade and a half.
This rush to solitude (独居) is not only limited to the US and Europe, where social security is well developed. In fact, over recent years, it has grown most quickly in countries with booming economies, like China for example.
Census (人口普查) data released by the National Health and Family Planning Commission of China in May showed that today over 58 million Chinese people live alone. That’s a number bigger than that of US, UK and France combined”, the Economist reported.
In the past, adulthood in China used to mean getting married and having children. Not following this route was seen as a taboo (禁忌). This is still the mainstream standard, but things are starting to change. Living alone is shifting from being a transitional stage after graduation and before marriage to a long-time state for many.
The marriage age in China is rising, especially in urban areas. In Beijing, the average age of men getting married is 27.8, while that of women is 26.2, according to iFeng News.
Better employment opportunities allow women to have greater equality with men That might make women more inclined to stay single and free from the burden of starting a new family.
5. What does the underlined word “perks” in para 1 mean
A. advantages B. disadvantages C. preference D. tradition
6. Which of the following is true according to the passage
A. the number of people living alone has almost doubled in China
B. people are more likely to live alone in developed countries
C many Chinese think it unacceptable for young people to live alone
D. the average age of men getting married is 27.8 while that of women is 26.2
7. Many women tend to live alone because____________.
A. they want to be independent of their parents
B. the marriage age in China is rising.
C. they have the same chance to earn their living as men
D. they dislike their parents being involved in their relationships
8. What could be the best title for the passage
A China’s youth break free B. Living with your parents or living alone
C. A new life style D. China’s new youth
C
Tired of standing in line Wait a bit longer, and you may never have to again.
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 AI-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. Amazon’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 has 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 (零售店) to get out of their old school thinking.”
Each time a business uses AI 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.
9. What do we know about the smart shopping carts
A. They are able to recognize goods put in them.
B. They are linked to the cameras fixed in the ceilings.
C. They flash the green light when the order is canceled.
D. They can tell customers where to find what they want.
10. What does Beshry think of the technology used in Amazon’s Go stores
A. It is likely to help retailers to think differently.
B. It has attracted many more retailers than before.
C. It is far more expensive than their shopping carts.
D. It may reduce the cost of running a store greatly.
11. When it comes to AI and cameras, what makes the public worried most
A. That they can only buy goods online.
B. That goods in the stores may be more expensive.
C. That they have to wait in a line for a longer time.
D. That somebody may know their privacy.
12. What is the main idea of the text
A. The new technology improves retail sale.
B. AI-powered cameras are used in retail stores.
C. Artificial intelligence affects the future of job market.
D. Smart shopping carts will let you skip the line.
