The founder of two tech companies, Tesla Motors andSpaceX, is bringing electric vehicles to mass market and(26)_ humans to live on other

23、planets. This sounds like so much hot air, but the near $13 billion fortune this entrepreneur has(27)_ comes from practical achievements rather than hypothetical ones.A lot of clever people are(28)_ about artificial intelligence, fearing that robots will one day become so(29)_ that theyll murder all

24、 of us. These fears are mostly(30)_ : as with hysteria aboutgenetic modification, we humans are generally wise enough to manage these problems with speed and care.And just think of how wonderful it would be if you had a live-in robot. It could,(31)_, be like having a babysitter and a nurse rolled in

25、to oneor, if that required (32)_ intelligence beyond the power of Mr. Musk s imagined machine, at least someone to chop the carrots, wash the car and mow the lawn.

26、book.That is why we welcome Mr. Musk s latest(35)_ , and wish him well. As long as robots add to thesum of human happiness, reduce suffering, and create time to read world-class journalism, we should be their fans.

52、s in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions

53、 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Economically speaking, are we better off than we were ten years ago? Twenty years ago?In their thirst for evidence on this issue, commentators seized on the recent report by the CensusBureau，which found that average household income rose by 5.2% in 2015.

54、Unfortunately, that conclusion puts too much weight on a useful, but flawed and incomplete, statistic. Among the more significant problems with the Censuss measure are that： 1) it excludes taxes, transfers, and compensation likeemployer-provided health insurance ； and 2) it is based on surveys rathe

55、r than data. Even if precisely measured, income data exclude important determinants of economic well-being, such as the hours of work needed to earn that income.While thinking about the question, we came across a recently published article by Charles Jones and Peter Klenow, which proposes an interes

56、ting new measure of economic welfare. While by no means perfect, it is considerably more comprehensive than average income, taking into account not only growth in consumption per person but also changes in working time, life expectancy, and inequality. Moreover, it can be used to assess economic per

57、formance both across countries and over time.The Jones-Klenow method can be illustrated by a cross-country example. Suppose we want to compare the economic welfare of citizens of the U. S. and France in 2005.In 2005, as the authors observe, real consumption per person in France was only 60% as high as the U. S. , making it appear that Americans were economically much better off than the French on average. However, that comparison omits other relevant factors: leisure time, life expectancy, and economic inequality. The French take l
