It’s merely a number,” said Professor David Sinclair at Harvard University. “It is biological age that determines our health and ultimately our lifespan(寿命). We all age biologically at different rates according to our genes, what we eat, how much we exercise, and what environment we live in. Biological age is the number of candles we really should be blowing out. In the future, with advances in our ability to control biological age, we may have even fewer candles on our birthday cake than the previous one.”‎ To calculate biological age, Professor Levine at Yale University identified nine bio-markers that seemed to be the most influential on lifespan by a simple blood test. The numbers of those markers, such as blood sugar and immune measures, can be put into the computer, and the algorithm (算法) does the rest.‎ Perhaps what’s most important here is that these measures can be changed. Doctors can take this information and help patients make changes to lifestyle, and hopefully take steps to improve their biological conditions. “I think the most exciting thing about this research is that these things aren’t set in stone,” Levine said. “People can be given the information earlier and take steps to improve their health before it’s too late.”‎ Levine even entered her own numbers into the algorithm. She was surprised by the results. “I always considered myself a very healthy person. I’m physically active; I eat what I consider a fairly healthy diet. But I did not find my results to be as good as I had hoped they would be. It was a wake-up call,” she said.‎ Levine is working with a group to provide access to the algorithm online so that anyone can calculate their biological age, identify potential risks and take steps to improve their own health in the long run. “No one wants to live an extremely long life with a lot of chronic diseases,” Levine said. “By delaying the development of mental and physical functioning problems, people can still be engaged in society in their senior years. That is the ideal we should be pursuing.”‎ ‎38. Biological age depends on __________.‎ A. what the calendar says about our age B. when we start to take outdoor exercise C. whether we can adapt ourselves to the environment D. how well our body works compared with our peers’‎ ‎39. What does the author mean by saying the underlined part in Paragraph 2?‎ A. We are chronologically older than last year.‎ B. We might be less happy than the previous year.‎ C. We don’t have to celebrate our birthday every year.‎ D. We may be biologically younger than the year before.‎ ‎40. What does the author want to tell us by Levine’s example in Paragraph 5?‎ A. It is necessary to change our diet regularly.‎ B. The test results may give us wrong information.‎ C. Waking up early in the morning is good for our fitness.‎ D. The algorithm can reveal our potential health problems.‎ ‎41. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?‎ A. Bio-markers Can Make Us Younger B. Chronological Age and Biological Age C. Old People can Still be Engaged in Society D. Biological Age can Lag behind or Exceed Chronological Age ‎【答案】38. D 39. D 40. D 41. D ‎【解析】‎ 本文是一篇说明文。我们的生理年龄可能会因为我们的基因、饮食、运动量以及所处的环境不同，生理年龄有可能落后于或者超过实际年龄。‎ ‎【38题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段的a biological age, basically the age at which your body functions as it compares to average fitness or health levels.（生物年龄，基本上就是你的身体机能与平均健康水平相比的年龄）可知，生物年龄取决于我们的身体与同龄人相比有多好。故选D。‎ ‎【39题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第二段的In the future, with advances in our ability to control biological age, we may have even fewer candles on our birthday cake than the previous one.（在未来，随着我们控制生物年龄的能力的提高，我们生日蛋糕上的蜡烛可能会比以前更少）和常识可知，过生日插生日蜡烛指的是生理年龄的增长，由此判断出，第二段划线部分是指我们的生理年龄可能比前一年年轻。故选D。‎ ‎【40题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第五段的She was surprised by the results.（她对结果感到惊讶）和But I did ‎ not find my results to be as good as I had hoped they would be.（但是我发现我的成绩没有我希望的那么好。）可推知，作者通过Levine的例子告诉我们这个算法可以揭示我们潜在的健康问题。故选D。‎ ‎【41题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。通读全文以及“Chronological age isn’t how old we really are. It’s merely a number,”（实际年龄并不是我们真正的年龄。这只是一个数字）和We all age biologically at different rates according to our genes, what we eat, how much we exercise, and what environment we live in. （根据我们的基因、饮食、运动量以及所处的环境，我们的生理衰老速度各不相同）可知，我们的生理年龄可能会因为我们的基因、饮食、运动量以及所处的环境不同，生理年龄有可能落后于或者超过实际年龄，故D选项“生物年龄可能落后于或超过实际年龄”可以作为本文最好的标题，故选D。‎ D Don’t Blame Robots for Low Wages The other day I found myself at a conference discussing declining wages and increasing inequality. One thing that struck me was how many of the participants just assumed that robots are a big part of the problem. But automation just isn’t a big part of the story what happened to American workers over the past 40 years. We do have a big problem, but it has very little to do with technology, and a lot to do with politics and power.‎ Economically speaking, a robot is anything that uses technology to do work formerly done by human beings. And robots in that sense have been transforming our economy for centuries. David Ricardo, a founding father of economics, wrote about the destructive effects of machinery in 1821. These days, when people talk about the robot destruction, they don’t usually think of things like strip mining(露天采矿) and mountaintop removal(削山开采). Yet these technologies completely transformed coal mining: Coal production almost doubled between 1950 and 2000, yet the number of coal miners fell from 470,000 to fewer than 80,000.‎ So the destruction brought by technological change is an old story. What’s new is the failure of workers to share in the fruits of that technological change. I’m not saying that coping with change was ever easy. But while there have always been some victims of technological progress, until the 1970s rising productivity translated into rising wages for a great majority of workers. Then the connection was broken. And it wasn’t the robots that did it.‎ What did? There is a growing agreement among economists that a key factor in wage decreasing has been worker’s declining bargaining power—a decline whose roots are ultimately political. Most obviously, the federal minimum wage has fallen by a third over the past half century, even as worker productivity has risen 150 percent, which rooted in politics, pure and simple.‎ The decline of unions, which covered a quarter of private-sector workers in 1973 but only 6 percent now, may not be as obviously political. But other countries haven’t seen the same kind of decline. What made America exceptional was a political environment deeply unfriendly to labor organizing and friendly toward union-destroying employers. And the decline of unions has made a huge difference. Consider trucking, which used to be a good job but now pays a third less than it did in the 1970s, with terrible working conditions. What made the difference? Deunionization was a big part of the story.‎ American workers can and should be getting a much better deal than they are. And to the extent that they aren’t, the fault lies not in our robots, but in our political leader.‎ ‎42. The people present at the conference about lower wages and increasing inequality _________.‎ A. believed that robots have contributed to wage decline B. agreed that robots should be used to help increase wages C. predicted that lower wages and increasing inequality would relate to robots D. assumed that lower wages and increasing inequality rooted in politics and power ‎43. The author mentions the case of the coal mining to show _________.‎ A. the robot destruction started from coal mining B. the influence of the technology on jobs is not a new phenomenon C. the number of jobs increases as a result of technological advancement D. strip mining and mountaintop removal completely changed the coal mining industry ‎44. According to the passage, we know that _________.‎ A. the destructive effects of machinery started in 1821‎ B. 25% of private-sector workers were covered by unions in 1973‎ C. rising productivity didn’t bring about rising wages until the 1970s D. the minimum wage has decreased with the dropping of worker productivity ‎45. What’s the main idea of the passage?‎ A. Technological changes have resulted in lower wages.‎ B. Political leaders have intended to shift people’s attention from robots.‎ C. The decline in wages has resulted from bad policies rather than the application of robots.‎ D. Technological changes have contributed to rising wages instead of causing unemployment.‎ ‎【答案】42. A 43. B 44. B 45. C ‎【解析】‎ 本文是一篇议论文。本文主要就工资的下降问题造成的原因展开了讨论，作者认为工资的下降是政策原因导致的，而非科技的应用。‎ ‎【42题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段的a conference discussing declining wages and increasing inequality.…how many of the participants just assumed that robots are a big part of the problem.（讨论工资下降和不平等加剧的问题……许多参与者只是认为机器人是问题的主要原因）可知，出席会议的人认为，认为机器人导致了工资的下降。故选A。‎ ‎【43题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第二段的And robots in that sense have been transforming our economy for centuries.（几个世纪以来，机器人一直在改变着我们的经济）和下文的Yet these technologies completely transformed coal mining（这些技术彻底改变了煤炭开采）由此判断出，作者以煤矿开采为例说明技术对就业的影响并不是一个新现象。故选B。‎ ‎【44题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第五段的The decline of unions, which covered a quarter of private-sector workers in 1973 but only 6 percent now, may not be as obviously political.（在1973年，工会使私营部门四分之一的工人获得保障）可知， 1973年有25%的私营部门工人得到了工会的保障。故选B。‎ ‎【45题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。通读全文以及文章的第一段的We do have a big problem, but it has very little to do with technology, and a lot to do with politics and power.（我们确实有一个大问题，但它与技术关系不大，而与政治和权力关系很大）和最后一段内American workers can and should be getting a much better deal than they are. And to the extent that they aren’t, the fault lies not in our robots, but in our political ‎ leader.可知，美国工人可以而且应该得到比现在更好的待遇。在某种程度上，他们没得到，错不在我们的机器人，而是在我们的政治领袖。所以本文主要就工资的下降问题造成的原因展开了讨论，作者认为政策原因导致的，而非科技的应用。由此可知，C选项（工资的下降是由于糟糕的政策，而不是机器人的应用）可以概括本文内容，故选C。‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）‎ Procrastination(拖延症) Tech Support Choosing between immediate satisfaction and future benefit can easily lead to shortsighted decisions: Watching TV instead of going to the gym, for example, or going through social media rather than working on a challenging project. ___46___‎ To guide individuals toward greatest choices, Falk Lieder, a cognitive(认知) scientist, and his colleagues designed a digital tool called a “cognitive prosthesis.” It uses artificial intelligence to match a decision’s immediate reward with its long-term worth after making a to-do list. The researchers developed a set of models and algorithms(算法) that consider various elements such as a list of tasks, an individual’s unwillingness to each and the amount of time available. ____47____ It helps to encourage that person to complete them all.‎ The idea was to turn the challenging projects that people pursue in the real world into a game like environment. “The point system gives people achievable goals that signal that they’re making progress.” Lieder says.‎ ‎___48___ The results, published online in August in Nature Human Behavior, revealed that the AI support system helped people make better, faster decisions and procrastinate less—and it made them more likely to complete all the assigned tasks. In one experiment, in which the researchers presented 120 participants with a list of several writing assignments. ____49____However, the rate was only 56 percent for those not using it.‎ Lieder says one of the current tool’s limitations is that it can handle only short to-do lists.___50___ At the same time, they are working with a company called Complice to integrate the tool into an existing to-do list app. The researchers also plan to run field experiments to see how well their cognitive prosthesis succeed in the real world.‎ A. People often struggle to do what’s best for them in the long run.‎ B. The team tested this tool in a series of experiments with human subjects.‎ C. The system then assigns reward points to each task in a way that is customized.‎ D. And now, he and his team are trying to develop it up for a larger number of tasks.‎ E. They found that 85 percent of individuals who used the tool completed all their tasks.‎ F. A study was conducted to find a way to help people increase their decision-making ability.‎ G. This tool is a convincing demonstration that procrastination is something that this strategy can help with quite a lot.‎ ‎【答案】46. A 47. C 48. B 49. E 50.
