一、高中英语阅读理解

1．阅读理解

   Theageofadulthoodisbydefinitionarbitrary.Ifeveryonematuredatthesame,fixedrate,itwouldn'tbeahumanprocess.Indeed,maturationhappensatvaryingspeedsacrossdifferentcategorieswithinthesameindividual,soI'dsayIwaseasilyoldenoughtovoteat16,butnobodyshouldhavegivenmeacreditcarduntilIwas32,andI'vegotthecountycourtjudgmenttoproveit.

   However,webroadlyagreethatthere'sadifferencebetweenachildandanadult,evenifwemightargueaboutthetransitionpoint.SothepoliticaltheoristDavidRunciman'sviewthatsix-year-oldsshouldbeallowedtovotegoesagainstanystandardargumentabouttheageofcivicresponsibility.Nobodywouldsaythatasix-year-oldcouldbeheldcriminallyresponsible,couldbesenttowar,couldbecapableofconsent,couldbegivenresponsibilityforanything.Soallowingthemthevote—alongwith,unavoidably,seven-year-oldswhoareevensillier,ifanything—isquiteanamusingproposal.

   Runciman'sargumentisthatthisistheonlywaytorebalancepoliticallife,whichiscurrentlytwistedinfavoroftheold,whodon't（headded）everneedtodemonstratementalcapacity,evenlongafterthey'velostit.

   Thefirstpartofhiscaseisself-evident:

pensionsareprotectedwhilechildren'scentersareclosed,conceptssuchassovereignty（最高权威）areprioritizedoverthefarmoreurgentbusinessofthefuture:

climatechange.Nostalgia（怀念）forapasttheyoungwouldn'tevenrecognizeplaysacentralrole,whichiscompletelyunfair.

   Mostoftheargumentsagainstgivingsix-year-oldsavotearethatchildrenwouldendupvotingforsomethingdamagingandchaotic,ifsomeonemadeunrealisticpromisestothem,whichcouldneverberealized.Well,it'snotchildren'sfault.

   Havingsaidthat,childrendotendtowardstheprogressive,havinganaturalsenseofjustice（whichkicksinattheageofsixmonths,psychologistshaveshown,bycreatingscenesofgreatunfairnesstobabies,andmakingthemcry）andanunderdevelopedsenseofself-interest.Mykid,whenhewassix,madequiteaforcefulcaseagainstprivateproperty,onthebasisthat,sinceeverybodyneededahouse,theyshouldn'tcostmoney,becausenobodywouldwantanyoneelsenottohaveone.Also,foodshouldbefree.Itwasakindofpre-Marxcommunism,whereyoulimitthecoverageofthemarkettoonlythosethingsthatyouwouldn'tmindsomeoneelsenothaving.

   Onthatparticularday,whenwewereregisteredasvoters,mykidwasquitefartotheleftofme,butinthenormalrunofthings,we'reunited,whichbringsustothepointoftheproblem:

childrenobeyyouonalmostnothing,buttheydoseemtobelieveinyourpoliticsuntilthey'readolescent.Sogivingkidsthevoteisreallyjustawayofgivingparentsextravotes.Andwhatcanstopushavingevenmorechildren,oncethere'ssomuchenfranchisement（选举权）initforus?

   Now,ifparentscouldbetrustedtousetheirinfluencewisely,andhammerintochildrenthepoliticsitwilltaketoassureabetterfuture,thenIwouldn'tnecessarilyhaveaproblemwiththat,apartfrom,obviously,thatcultureisalreadywildlytwistedtowardsparents,andIcanimagineafewnon-parentsboilingwithfierceanger.Butthat'snotworthtalkingaboutanyway,becauseparentscan'tbetrusted,otherwisewe'dallalreadyvoteGreen（绿党）.

   Inshort:
