But these had surprisingly little effect on the economy. During that decade productivity growth in the developed countries averaged a miserable 1% a year, holding down average wages. Innovative firms embraced new tech, but many less adventurous ones did not bother. The experience showed that technological breakthroughs and improvements in average living standards do not always go hand in hand. B A 3 Generative AI, its developers say, will be different. Not since the invention of the Internet has a new technology so captured the public imagination. The technology is consumer­friendly: within days of its release to the public, ChatGPT, the most famous AI chat bot, had millions of users. It is easy to see how this innovation could improve all types of work at all types of firms, from increasing the accuracy of doctors' diagnoses to helping programmers write software code more efficiently. B A 4 With that said, for AI to truly spread out in the economy, it needs to make its mark beyond the most innovative companies. And this will take time. Although the Internet began to be used by some companies in the early 1990s, it was not until the late 2000s that two­thirds of American businesses had a website. About 70 world's largest firms still show no interest in AI, according to our analysis. Some evidence even suggests that usage of ChatGPT and its competitors is falling—perhaps as people have tried it out, and then decided it is not for them. B A 5 Indeed, even the most powerful technologies take time to be adopted, because companies tend to use a mix of software and services, some of which may be years or even decades old. Replacing outdated systems can be costly and complicated. Moreover, in the many industries either run or heavily regulated by the government, such as healthcare, education and construction, bosses and trade unions often resist the application of new technology, worried that it will lead to job losses. In time AI could well transform how people live their lives and do their jobs. But the road to widespread usage, and any resulting productivity boom, will be a long one. 篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了技术突破和平均生活水平的提高并不总是齐头并进的，并介绍了人工智能的潜能以及存在的一些挑战。 篇章导读 B A 6 1．What is Paragraph 1 mainly about? A．How productivity affects average wages. B．Why the 2010s is a productive decade. C．Whether economic growth follows new technologies. D．What innovative companies care for. 答案：C　段落大意题。根据第一段内容可知，2010年代不乏奇迹般的技术，但这些技术对经济的影响微乎其微。由此可知，本段主要是谈论新技术的诞生是否一定会导致经济增长。故选C。 答案 B A 7 2．What does the author want to indicate by mentioning ChatGPT in Paragraph 2? A．AI's public imagination. B．Consumers' enthusiasm. C．AI's healthy profits.
