1、六七八总分得分一、阅读理解1. Well, parents, surprise! Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to thumb rides, and not just to school. Its awkward to be refused when you call a friend and ask for a ride.

2、y within their own social circles to find rides, and dont branch out beyond friends when asking on Twitter just like me, but to some young people, especially those taking longer trips, stranger danger is less of a concern. “I think the digital connection of young people is really key, because younge

3、r generations grew up sharing things on line, sharing files, photos, music, etc, so theyve been very used to sharing,” said Juliet Schor, a sociology professor at Boston College. The sharing economy got big during the recession （经济衰退）, allowing people to access more goods, services using technology

4、and even to share costs. And that technology, for me, is what the car was for my mom, a gateway to more freedom, like what my friend Earl says, “The symbol of freedom isnt the car any more because theres technology out there connecting you to a car.” According to the researchers at the University of

5、 Michigan, 30 years ago, eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a drivers license compared to six in ten today. So its not that surprising that on my 16th birthday I wasnt rushing to get a license but an iPhone. “Driving, for young people, does mean they have to disconnect from their technology, and

6、 thats a negative. So if they could sit in the passage side and still be connected, thats going to be a plus.” Schor continued. To me, another plus is that ride sharing represents something, something much bigger than trying to save money. I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other.

12、 the best Indian Institute of Technology （IIT） in Mumbai said students had stopped socializing and many were late for morning classes or slept through them. “Now, a student doesnt even know who lives two doors away from him because he is so busy on the Internet,” said Prakash Gopalan, dean of Studen

13、t Affairs. “The old dormitory culture of companionship and socializing among students is gone.

14、a talent pool for global technology giants. But their hard courses, tough competition and lonely campus lifestyle have taken an effect on students.

20、rfing the Internet3. Some 30,000 years ago, artists who lived in caves in Europe painted pictures of the animals around them: panthers, hyenas, rhinos, cave lions, mammoths and other creatures which have been extinct for a long time. The artwork, more than a thousand drawings, is considered the olde

21、st group of human cave drawings which have ever been discovered. They were preserved because the cave was sealed-closed off-for more or less 23,000 years. Fast forward to December 18, 1994, a group of French cave scientists were exploring caves in southern France. Jean Marie Chauvet, who led the gro

22、up then, describes the process of discovering the cave paintings. “At that time I was in the front, Eliette just walked behind me, Christian behind. Eliette said she saw two marks with red ochre（赭石） and she said, They came here. And at this very moment everything began. The drawings and everything l

23、inked to the parietal art（壁画）. That is where it started.” Cave art expert Jean Clotttes reviewed the paintings. “I was amazed at the number of paintings there were and paintings of their quality and particularly in front of the panel of the horses.” Scientific analysis confirmed the prehistoric date

24、 of the artwork. Studies showed the drawings were created tens of thousands of years ago, before human history was written. The United Nations cultural agency UNESCO lists the cave as a World Heritage Site. They say that the drawings form a remarkable expression of early human artistic creation of g

25、rand excellence and variety. The Chauvet Cave has been named after the explorer who first entered it. However, its environment and drawings are too fragile to be visited by human beings. So the cave is closed, and only people there for scientific purposes can go inside and see the artwork. However,

26、French authorities asked experts to create an exact copy of the cave, called Pont dArc Cavern. The copy, which we also called replica, cost more than 59 million dollars to build. It opened at the end of April in France. Pascal Terrasse is the president of the cavern. He says everyone will be able to

27、 experience the thrill of looking at drawings made by the first humans in Europe. He says the place is magic because it is done so well.

30、llect money for the perseverance of the Chauvet Cave4. What does it mean to say that we live in a world of persuasion? It means that we live among competing interests. Your roommates need to study for an exam may take priority（优先）over pizza. Your instructor may have good reasons not to change your g

31、rade. And the object of your romantic interest may have other choices. In such a world, persuasion is the art of getting others to give fair and favorable consideration to our point of view. When we persuade, we want to influence how others believe and behave. We may not always prevail other points of view may be more persuasive, depending on the listener, the situation, and the merits of the case. But when we practice the art of persuasion, we try to ensure that our position receives the attention it deserves. Some people, however, object to the very idea of persu
