16. 【阅读理解七，对应以下7-1至7-5题】“If cigarettes had never existed and were invented tomorrow, what would happen? They would not be legalized.” The question was posed and answered by Javed Khan, former head of the London-based children's charity Barnardo's. Smok 成人学历 ing is the world's single largest preventable cause of illness and death. And the United Kingdom is making a significant attempt to eliminate it.   In the UK, 12.9% of people over age 18 smoke. The goal of this new attempt is to cut that to less than 5%. People younger than 18 in the UK cannot legally buy cigarettes. But all too many start smoking during childhood. The legal age was raised from 16 in 2007. Khan's team proposed to raise the minimum age further, by one year each year. Studies forecast that numbers of smokers will fall, but households with the lowest incomes tend to have more smokers and will need comparatively more support to stop smoking or to not take it up. At the same time, it is needed to prevent the law from being undermined. In that respect, researchers need to study what has happened in New Zealand. In 2022, it was the first country to introduce legislation to end smoking for future generations, which helped to inspire the UK law. But there has since been a change of government and the law was repealed. The new administration in New Zealand said the law hampered freedom of choice, and it drew attention to the loss of revenue from taxation. Cost–benefit analysis is not always appropriate when talking about protecting human health and saving lives, but the consensus of evidence is that the cost of treating tobacco-related illnesses and the days, months and years lost to ill health caused by smoking outweigh any monetary benefits from taxation. The original New Zealand proposal and the UK one are right. Tobacco, a product that kills its users, would never be permitted if it was introduced today.  7-1.

21. 【阅读理解八，对应以下8-1至8-5题】Superhuman artificial intelligence that is smarter than anyone on Earth could exist next year, Elon Musk has said, unless the sector faces unsustainable power and computing requirements by then. Actually, Elon Musk had said earlier before that super-smart AI would be around by 2029. “My guess is that we'll have AI that is smarter than any one human probably around the end of next year,” Musk said in a livestreamed interview on his social network X. That prediction was made with the warning that increasing demands for power and shortages of the most powerful AI training chips(训练芯片) could limit their capability in the near term. “Last year it was chip-constrained,” he said. “People could not get enough Nvidia（英伟达）chips. This year it's transitioning to a voltage transformer(变压器) supply. In a year or two, it's just electricity supply.”  In 2023, Musk talked about how in five to six years, there could be AI that's extremely smart. He was worried about what this could mean, and he wished he could stop AI from advancing too fast, but it didn't look possible.  “It's actually important for us to worry about a Terminator future in order to avoid a Terminator future,” Musk added, referencing the film where a self-aware computer system starts war on humanity. A year on, and xAI is firmly trying to lead the development of superintelligence. In a recent interview, Musk said the latest version of its chatbot Grok AI was comparable to GPT-4, the leading model from OpenAI. GPT-4 is more than a year old, and competitors have already met or exceeded its capabilities. 8-1. What did Elon Musk predict about the development of superhuman artificial intelligence? (分值: 3.0)
