English passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you ‎ have just read.‎ ‎(A)‎ People worry that developments in Artificial Intelligence, or A.I., will bring about a point in history when A. I. overtakes human intelligence, leading to an unimaginable revolution in human affairs. Or they wonder whether instead of our controlling artificial intelligence, it will control us.‎ The situation may not arise for hundreds of years to come, but this doesn’t mean we have nothing to worry about. On the contrary, The A. I. products that now exist are improving faster than most people realize and promise to fundamentally transform our world, not always for the better. They are only tools, not a competing form of intelligence. But they will reshape what work means and how wealth is created.‎ Unlike the Industrial Revolution and the Computer Revolution, the A. I. revolution is not taking certain jobs and replacing them with other jobs. Instead, it is believed to cause a wide - scale elimination of jobs -- mostly lower - paying jobs, but some higher - paying ones, too.‎ This transformation will result in enormous profits for the companies that develop A.I., as well as for the companies that adopt it. We are thus facing two developments that do not sit easily together; enormous wealth concentrated in relatively few hands and enormous numbers of people out of work. What is to be done?‎ Part of the answer will involve educating or retraining people in tasks A.I. tools aren’t good at. Artificial intelligence is poorly suited for jobs involving creativity, planning and “cross - field” thinking. But these skills are typically required by high - paying jobs that may be hard to retrain displaced workers to do. More promising are lower - paying jobs involving the “people skills” that A.I. lacks: social workers, barmen, doormen -- professions requiring human interaction. But how many barmen does a society really need?‎ The solution to the problem of mass unemployment will involve “service jobs of love.” These are jobs that A. I. cannot do, that society needs and that give people a sense of purpose. Examples include accompanying an older person to visit a doctor, helping at an orphanage and serving as a sponsor at charity organization. The volunteer service jobs of today, in other words, may turn into the real jobs of the future.‎ Other volunteer jobs may be higher - paying and professional, such as compassionate medial service providers. In all cases, people will be able to choose to work fewer hours than they do ‎ now.‎ ‎36. In what aspect is the A. I. revolution different from the Industrial or the Computer revolution?‎ A. The A.I. revolution will finally become one beyond human’s control.‎ B. A. I. is believed to lead to a point in history when it takes over human intelligence.‎ C. Higher - paying jobs will take the place of lower-paying ones in the A.I. revolution.‎ D. It may bring about mass unemployment to matter how much employees are paid.‎ ‎37. The underlined word “promising” in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to _______.‎ A. promotional B. demanding C. guaranteed D. potential ‎38. What does the author suggest in the face of the A.I. revolution?‎ A. It is sensible to encourage people to take volunteer jobs.‎ B. People should be instructed to do less demanding jobs.‎ C. The problem of job loss can be solved by creating lower-paying jobs.‎ D. Jobs requiring knowledge in different fields are suitable for displaced workers.‎ ‎39. Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?‎ A. The A.I. Revolution Creates New Job Opportunities.‎ B. Challenges the A. I. Revolution Brings to Job Market.‎ C. A Double - edged Sword: the A.I. Revolution.‎ D. Interrelationship between A.I. and Unemployment.‎ ‎【答案】36. D 37. D 38. A 39. B ‎【语篇解读】‎ 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了人工智能革命给就业市场带来的挑战以及应对办法。‎ ‎36题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Instead, it is believed to cause a wide - scale elimination of jobs -- mostly lower - paying jobs, but some higher - paying ones, too.”可知，与工业革命和计算机革命不同的是，人工智能革命被认为会导致大规模的失业——大部分是低收入的工作，但也有一些高收入的工作，故D项正确。‎ ‎【37题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“Part of the answer will involve educating or retraining people in ‎ tasks A.I. tools aren’t good at. Artificial intelligence is poorly suited for jobs involving creativity, planning and “cross - field” thinking. But these skills are typically required by high - paying jobs that may be hard to retrain displaced workers to do.”可知，部分答案将涉及到在人工智能工具不擅长的任务中对人们进行教育或再培训，人工智能不适合从事创造性、计划性和“跨领域”思维的工作。但这些技能通常是高薪工作所需要的，而这些工作可能很难再培训失业工人，因此此处是说更有可能的是薪水较低的工作，包括A.I.缺乏的“人际交往技能”：社会工作者、酒吧招待、门卫——需要人际交往的职业，由此可知画线词词义为“可能的”，故D项正确。‎ ‎【38题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“The solution to the problem of mass unemployment will involve “service jobs of love.””可知，解决大规模失业问题的办法将涉及“爱的服务性工作”，再结合本段最后一句“The volunteer service jobs of today, in other words, may turn into the real jobs of the future.”可知，换言之，今天的志愿服务工作可能会变成未来真正的工作，由此可知，面对人工智能革命，作者认为鼓励人们从事志愿工作是明智的，故A项正确。‎ ‎【39题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据第四段中的“We are thus facing two developments that do not sit easily together; enormous wealth concentrated in relatively few hands and enormous numbers of people out of work. What is to be done?”可知，本文主要介绍了人工智能革命给就业市场带来的挑战以及应对办法，故B项正确。‎ ‎【点睛】本篇第2题词义猜测题难度较大，抓住画线词上下文两种工作的对比关系是关键，根据画线词前的“Part of the answer will involve educating or retraining people in tasks A.I. tools aren’t good at. Artificial intelligence is poorly suited for jobs involving creativity, planning and “cross - field” thinking. But these skills are typically required by high - paying jobs that may be hard to retrain displaced workers to do.”可知，部分答案将涉及到在人工智能工具不擅长的任务中对人们进行教育或再培训，人工智能不适合从事创造性、计划性和“跨领域”思维的工作，但这些技能通常是高薪工作所需要的，而这些工作可能很难再培训失业工人，因此此处是说与这些很难再培训失业工人的高薪工作相比，更有可能的是薪水较低的工作，包括A.I.缺乏的“人际交往技能”：社会工作者、酒吧招待、门卫——需要人际交往的职业，由此可知画线词词义为“可能的”。‎ ‎(B)‎ Advanced Rechargeable Digital Hearing Aid Technology Only $229!‎ The new Advanced HearClear HCR3 rechargeable hearing and combines advanced technology with a low price to provide you with outstanding value.‎ ‎5 star Reviews!☆☆☆☆☆‎ Outstanding Product! “This product is outstanding.

C ‎【语篇解读】‎ 本文是一篇应用文，介绍了HCR3助听器的相关信息。‎ ‎【40题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“(only $229 each when you buy a pair).”可知，成对购买的话每个229美元，因此如果你想买一对HCR3助听器，你要付458（229×2）美元，故C项正确。‎ ‎【41题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“The HCR3 is packed with the same key technologies that all high end digital hearing aids share”可知，HCR3配备了所有高端数字助听器共享的关键技术，再根据倒数第二段中的“you won’t have to keep changing the batteries! ”及“The HCR3 is pre-programmed for most moderate to significant hearing losses, so you won’t need professional appointments to make costly adjustments.”可知，你不必一直更换电池，而且HCR3‎ 是为大多数中度至重度听力损失预先编程的，因此您不需要专业的预约来进行昂贵的调整，因此这款助听器的特征包括有适合不同的听力情况的内置程序、数字声音处理芯片以及无需专业帮助的简单调整，而不包括易于更换电池，故B项正确。‎ ‎【42题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据Even Better In Pairs!部分的一段中的“Your brain is designed to use both ears working together. In fact, studies show that you may be able to hear up to 3 times better in noisy situations when using two hearing aids.”可知，你的大脑被设计成两只耳朵一起工作。事实上，研究表明，两只耳朵一起使用助听器时，在嘈杂的环境中，你的听力可能会提高三倍，由此可知，人类用两只耳朵听得效果更好是作者推荐买一对助听器的原因之一，故C项正确。‎ ‎(C)‎ For several decades, there has been an extensive and organized campaign intended to generate distrust in science, funded by regulated industries and libertarian think tanks（自由主义智囊团）whose interests and beliefs are threatened by the findings of modern science. In response, scientists have tended to stress the success of science. After all, scientists have been right about most things, from the structure of the universe to the relativity of time and space.‎ Quoting successes isn’t wrong, but for many people it’s not persuasive. What is typically declared to be the scientific method -- develop a supposition, then design an experiment to test it -- isn’t what scientists actually do. Science is active so that new methods get invented and old ones get abandoned. The scientific method doesn’t always work. False theories can produce true results, so even if an experiment works, it doesn’t prove that the theory it was designed to test it true.‎ If there is no identifiable scientific method then what is the guarantee for trust in science?‎ The answer is the methods by which those claims are evaluated. A scientific claim is never accepted as true until it has gone through a long process of examination by fellow scientists. Until this point, scientific feedback is typically fairly friendly. But the next step is different: once the paper is ready, it is presented to a scientific journal, where things get a whole lot tougher. Editors deliberately send scientific papers to people who are not friends or colleagues of the authors, and the job of the reviewer is to find errors or other inadequacies. We call this process “peer review” because the reviewers are scientific peers but they act in the role of a superior who has both the right and the obligation to find fault. It is only after the reviewers and the editor are satisfied that ‎ any problems have been fixed that the paper is accepted for publication and enters the body of “science.”‎ Does this process ever go wrong? Of course. Scientists are human. But if we look carefully at historical cases where science went wrong, typically there was no agreement reached by all. Some people argue that we should not trust science because scientists are “always changing their minds.” While examples of truly settled science being overturned are far fewer than is sometimes claimed, they do exist. But the beauty of this scientific process is that it explains what might otherwise appear paradoxical（矛盾的）: that science produces both novelty（新颖性）and stability. New observations, ideas, interpretations introduce novelty: trans-formative questioning leads to collective decisions and the stability of scientific knowledge. Scientists do change their minds in the face of new evidence, but this is a strength of science, not a weakness.‎ ‎43. Distrust in science has been found because _________.‎ A. scientists’ citing successes isn’t persuasive for many people to some extent B. most scientists have tended to lay too much emphasis on the success of science C. a wide - ranging and organized campaign has been founded in some industries and think tanks D. someone’s benefits and beliefs are endangered by the findings of modern science ‎44. Which of the following statements will the author agree with about a scientific method?‎ A. A scientific method doesn’t necessarily take effect because science is changing.‎ B. A scientific method is not right because it isn’t what scientists actually do.‎ C. A successful experiment can guarantee the truthfulness of a claim by a scientific method.‎ D. True theories can produce false results because the scientific method doesn’t work.‎ ‎45. What purpose does “peer review” in evaluating a scientific claim mainly serve?‎ A. The scientific claim can be completely accepted by the reviewers in the same field.‎ B. The scientific peers can draw right conclusions by finding its faults or other inadequacies.‎ C. The scientific claim can be published and recognized as true in science.‎ D. The scientific paper can be successfully submitted to a scientific journal.‎ ‎46. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _________.‎ A. Not all the claims about the falsehood of well-established science lead to its being overturned B. It is inevitable that science sometimes goes wrong because it appears paradoxical C. The beauty of science lies in the paradox of being both novel and stable D. Science is not trustful because scientists always change their minds.‎ ‎【答案】43. D 44. A 45. C 46. A ‎【语篇解读】‎ 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了人们对科学的两种观点，即：相信科学和不信任科学。‎ ‎【43题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“For several decades, there has been an extensive and organized campaign intended to generate distrust in science, funded by regulated industries and libertarian think tanks whose interests and beliefs are threatened by the findings of modern science.”可知，几十年来，有一个广泛的、有组织的运动，目的是产生对科学的不信任，由受管制的行业和自由主义智囊团资助，他们的利益和信仰受到现代科学发现的威胁，由此可知，人们发现对科学的不信任是因为某些人的利益和信仰受到现代科学发现的威胁，故D项正确。‎ ‎【44题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Science is active so that new methods get invented and old ones get abandoned. The scientific method doesn’t always work.”可知，科学是活跃的，新方法被发明，旧方法被抛弃，所以科学的方法并不总是有效的，由此可知，作者可能会同意“科学方法不一定有效，因为科学正在发生变化”这一说法，故A项正确。‎ ‎【45题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“We call this process peer review because the reviewers are scientific peers but they act in the role of a superior who has both the right and the obligation to find fault. It is only after the reviewers and the editor are satisfied that any problems have been fixed that the paper is accepted for publication and enters the body of science.”可知，我们称这个过程为同行评审，因为评审人员是科学上的同行，但是他们扮演着上级的角色，有权利也有义务找出错误，只有在审稿人和编辑满意之后，任何问题都得到了解决，论文才会被接受发表并进入科学领域，由此可知，在评估一项科学声明时，同行评审的主要目的是这一科学论断可以在科学领域上发表并被认为是正确的，故C项正确。‎ ‎【46题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“While examples of truly settled science being overturned are far fewer than is sometimes claimed, they do exist.”可知，虽然真正解决的科学被推翻的例子比有时声称的要少得多，但它们确实存在，由此可知，并非所有关于公认科学的谬误的说法都会导致它被推翻，故A项正确。‎ Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.‎ Is Multitasking Always Good?‎ Not only do smart-phones provide unrestricted access to information, they provide perfect opportunities to multitask. Any activity can be accompanied by music, selfies or social media updates. Of course, some people pick poor times to tweet or text, and lawmakers have steeped in. ___47___ In Honolulu, it’s illegal to text or even look at your phone while crossing the street, and in the Netherlands they’ve banned texting while biking.‎ ‎___48___ You need to self-regulate. Understanding how the brain multitasks and why we find multitasking so appealing will help you realize the danger or pulling out your phone.‎ Multitasking feels like doing two things at the same time, so it seems the danger lies in asking one mental process to do two unrelated things -- for texting drivers, watching the screen and the road.‎ Twenty states have instituted bans on driving using a hand - held phone while still allowing hands - free calls. Yet hands - free or hand - held makes no difference. ___49___ The real problem is the switch of attention between the conversation and road, and that affects performance.‎ Please sense this, and when on the phone they drive slower and increase their following distance, but they are far too confident that these measures reduce risks. This overconfidence extends to other activities. A 2015 survey showed that a majority of students who use social media, text or watch TV while studying think that they can still comprehend the material they’re studying.‎ People multitask merely because they see no harm in it; they see benefits. ____50____ Most people will still choose to multitask. But they should, at the very least , be fully aware of how that choice affects them and the potential consequences for themselves and others. They need to pay attention to how much -- or how little -- they are paying attention.‎ A. But legislation（法律）won’t ban all situations in which multitasking is unwise.‎ B. They multitask for efficiency, to fight boredom or to keep up with social media.‎ C. Forty - eight states have banned texting while driving.‎ D. However, texting while biking seems so undemanding as to be harmless.‎ E. They damage driving equivalently as far as external dangers go.‎ F. Instead of multitasking, they take more rest breaks and get a social media fix during a break.‎ ‎【答案】47. C 48. A 49. E 50. B ‎【语篇解读】‎ 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了开车时一心多用的危害是很大的。‎ ‎【47题详解】‎ 空后说在檀香山，过马路时发短信甚至看手机都是违法的，在荷兰，他们禁止骑车时发短信，因此此处应该会提到禁止在驾车或骑车时使用手机的情况，故C项（48个州禁止开车时发短信）符合语境。‎ ‎【48题详解】‎ 空后说你需要自我调节，了解大脑一心多用的方式以及为什么我们发现一心多用如此吸引人，这将有助于你意识到危险或拿出手机，因此此处是说要想避免一心多用，不能只靠法律的约束，故A项（但立法不会禁止所有不明智的一心多用的情况）符合语境。‎ ‎【49题详解】‎ 空前说20个州已经禁止使用手持电话驾驶，同时仍然允许使用免提电话，不过，免提或手持也没什么区别，因此此处是说免提电话也会对驾驶造成危害，故E项（它们对驾驶造成的危害是相当大的）符合语境。‎ ‎【50题详解】‎ 空前说人们一心多用是因为他们认为这样做没有害处，他们只看到了好处，此处应该会提到一心多用给他们带来了哪些好处，故B项（他们一心多用是为了提高效率，对抗无聊，或是跟上社交媒体的步伐）符合语境。‎ ‎【点睛】在六选四的解题过程中，空处与上下文之间的举例证明或解释说明的关系往往是重要线索，例如本篇第4题，根据空前的“People multitask merely because they see no harm in it; they see benefits.”可知，人们一心多用只是因为他们认为这样做没有害处，他们只是看到了好处，此处应该会举例说明一心多用给他们带来了哪些好处，故B项（他们一心多用是为了提高效率，对抗无聊，或是跟上社交媒体的步伐）符合语境。‎ Ⅲ. Summary Writing ‎51.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.‎ The Zeigarnik Effect Have you ever found yourself thinking about a partially finished project for school or work when you were trying to focus on other things? Or perhaps you wondered what would happen next in your favorite TV show or film series. If you have, you’ve experienced the Zeigarnik effect. You tend to remember unfinished tasks better than finished tasks. Knowledge of the Zeigarnik effect can be put into use in everyday life.‎ The effect is especially well suited for helping overcome procrastination or delaying an action to a later time. We often put off big tasks that seem overwhelming. However, the Zeigarnik effect suggests that the key to overcoming procrastination is to just get started. The first step could be something small and seemingly insignificant. In fact, it’s probably best if it’s something fairly easy.‎ The Zeigarnik effect can be useful for students who are studying for an exam. The effect tells us that breaking up study periods can actually improve recall. So instead of cramming for an exam all in one sitting, breaks should be scheduled in which the student focuses on something else. This will cause intrusive（侵入的）thoughts, enabling students to rehearse and consolidate the information that must be remembered, leading to better recall when they take the exam.‎ The Zeigarnik effect also points to reasons why people may experience mental health problems. If an individual leaves important tasks incomplete, the intrusive thoughts that result can lead to stress, anxiety, difficulty sleeping, and emotional distress. Conversely, completing a task can give an individual a sense of accomplishment and lead to a feeling of closure that can improve psychological well - being.‎ The Zeigarnik effect can actually be used to positively impact your work productivity.‎ ‎【答案】The Zeigarnik effect, the tendency to remember incomplete tasks better than complete ones, is useful in daily life. Firstly, it can keep people from putting off things when they start with a small step. Besides, it encourages breaks in students’ study, thus improving recall in exams. Thirdly, it promotes mental health by providing the motivation needed to finish tasks.‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本篇书面表达是概要写作，要求概括蔡加尼克效应在日常生活中很有用。首先，它可以让人们在开始做一件小事的时候不拖延；此外，它还鼓励学生在学习时休息，从而提高考试时的记忆力；最后，它能够通过提供完成任务所需的动机来促进心理健康，注意词数要求和使用自己的语言。‎ ‎【详解】1、写之前，需要认真仔细地读几遍原文材料，让理解更深刻。‎ ‎2、遵循原文的逻辑顺序，对重要部分的主题、标题、细节进行概括，全面清晰地表明原文信息。‎ ‎3、给摘要起一个好标题，比如：可以采用文中的主题句。‎ ‎4、尽量使用自己的话完成，不要引用原文的句子，篇幅控制在原文的三分之一或四分之一长。‎ Ⅳ.
