Bordered by France to the north and the Mediterranean Sea to the east, Barcelona is one of the most “European” of Spanish cities. Stroll Las Ramblas, one of the citys most famous and busy avenue. Students taking a gap year in Barcelona will find it to be a very cosmopolitan（世界性的） city that combines the latest trends with the most typical Spanish traditions. Barcelona offers museums, cinemas, restaurants, the beach, the mountains, and people from all over the world.Although local people speak both Spanish and Cataln, the mixture of local residents and international visitors makes it an easy city to understand and makes yourself understood. Barcelona exposes students to several cultures, languages, and world views; but then again, what else could be expected from the complex city of Barcelona?56. Which is one of the requirements for the students applying for the program?A. They have to be Europeans.B. They have to be 18 or above.C. They have received admission to an American university.D.

It can prepare students for global awareness and involvement.B“Opinion” is a word that is used carelessly today. It is used to refer to matters of taste, belief, and judgment. This inaccurate use would probably cause little confusion if people didnt attach too much importance to opinion. Unfortunately, most attach great importance to it. “I have as much right to my opinion as you to yours, and Everyones entitled to his opinion, are common expressions. In fact, anyone who would challenge anothers opinion is likely to be branded intolerant.Is that label accurate? Is it intolerant to challenge anothers opinion? It depends on what definition of opinion you have in mind. For example, you may ask a friend What do you think of the new Ford cars?” And he may reply, “In my opinion, theyre ugly.” In this case, it would not only be intolerant to challenge his statement, but foolish. For its obvious that by opinion he means his personal preference, a matter of taste. And as the old saying goes, Its pointless to argue about matters of taste.But consider this very different use of the term. A newspaper reports that the Supreme Court has delivered its opinion in a controversial case. Obviously the justices did not share their personal preferences, their mere likes and dislikes. They stated their considered judgment, painstakingly arrived at after thorough inquiry and deliberation(审议).Most of what is referred to as opinion falls somewhere between these two extremes. It is not an expression of taste. Nor is it careful judgment. Yet it may contain elements of both. It is a view or belief more or less inaccurately arrived at, with or without examining the evidence.Is everyone entitled to his opinion? Of course, this is not only permitted, but guaranteed. We are free to act on our opinions only so long as, in doing so, we do not harm others.58.According to the author, who of the following would be labeled as intolerant?A.Someone who cant put up with others tastes.B.Someone who turns a deaf ear to others opinions.C.Someone who values only their own opinions.D.Someone whose opinion harms other people.59.The new Ford cars are cited as an example to show that .A.it is foolish to criticize a famous brandB.one should not always agree to others opinionsC.personal tastes are not something to be challengedD.it is unwise to express ones likes and dislikes in public60.Considered judgment is different from personal preference in that .A. it is stated by judges in the courtB. it reflects public like and dislikesC. it is a result of a lot of controversyD. it is based on careful thoughtCWhen a driver slams on the brakes to avoid hitting a pedestrian crossing the road illegally, she is making a moral decision that shifts risk from the pedestrian to the people in the car. Self-driving cars might soon have to make such ethical (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 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 analyzed these answers, they found that the nations 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 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 that 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 cities 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 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 yearbut 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.”61. Why 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.62. The researchers conducted 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 experiments 63. According to the study, in which country are drivers more likely to hit a pedestrian crossing the road illegally?A. NigeriaB. ColombiaC. Finland D. Indonesia64. 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 in societyD. Car makers neednt take the risk of solving self-driving car ethical dilemmasDIn 2009 a new flu virus was discovered. Combining elements of the viruses that cause bird flu and swine flu, this new virus, named H1N1, spread quickly. Within weeks, public health agencies
