Delightfully, 5G technology makes that future look easily achievable. Schools, hospitals, transportation, factories—even our homes will soon use this powerful wireless network. Last year, China started testing 5G mobile networks in its several cities. So what is 5G? It's the latest generation of cellular (蜂窝状的) network technology. 　1　  5G's benefits mainly come from speed and connectivity (连接). 　2　 People will be able to use the Internet at a much greater speed than before. Imagine being able to download an entire movie in just a few seconds! That's how fast 5G will be.  　3　 For example, one of the biggest problems with developing driverless cars is the delay between sending a signal and receiving it. Driverless cars must be able to react instantly to sudden changes in their environment, such as a dog running across the road. This will require these cars to send and receive huge amounts of data within milliseconds (毫秒). 　4　 It will also allow doctors to perform operations remotely, using robots. The robots will respond more quickly to the doctors' movements.  So what about 5G's connectivity? 　5　 Imagine having a smart home that automatically turns the lights on when you open your front door.  “New things become possible when you can move information on a massive scale,” Gordon Smith, CEO of telecom equipment reseller Sagent, told The Telegraph. “5G becomes the great enabler.” No matter where it is implemented, it looks like 5G will bring us a more exciting and convenient future. A.We may develop “smart” environments with it. B.Such speed helps other technologies too. C.5G will make this possible. D.It connects people's lives in various ways. E.It is faster and more stable than 4G, the previous generation. F.With 5G, people can conveniently solve many problems. G.The advantage of higher speeds is obvious. 1.　　　 2.　　　 3.　　　 4.　　　 5.　　　  语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文,主要向读者介绍了5G技术以及在未来5G对我们日常生活的影响。 1.E　细节句。E项(它比4G,即上一代,要更快更稳定)与上文“So what is 5G? It’s the latest generation of cellular (蜂窝状的) network technology.(那么什么是5G呢?它是蜂窝式网络技术的最新一代。)”承接自然,将4G和5G进行对比,来说明5G的优势。E项中的It指代上文提到的5G。 2.G　细节句。下文提到“人们将能够以比之前快得多的速度使用互联网。想象一下,仅在几秒钟内就能下载整部电影!”,G项(更快速度的优势是显而易见的) 是对下文具体例子的总体陈述。故选G项。 3.F　主旨句。本段中提到了无人驾驶车辆对快速度的需求和医生使用机器人进行远程手术对快速度的需求,这说明5G的快速度可以很方便地解决很多问题。F项可以作为本段的主旨句。 4.B　过渡句。上文提到了5G会在速度上对无人驾驶车辆有所帮助,下文说的是5G速度对医生用机器人进行远程手术有所帮助,B项(如此快的速度也有助于其他技术)承接上文并引出下文。B项中的too对应下文中的also。 5.A　细节句。由设空处上一句可知此处是在说5G的另一个方面—connectivity,下文提到“想象一下有一个智能的家,当你打开前门时,它会自动亮灯。”, A项(我们可以用它开发“智能”环境)符合上下文语境。A项中的it指代上句中的“5G􀆳s connectivity”。 【高频词汇】　1.delay n.延迟的时间;延迟　2.react to对……作出反应　3.instantly adv.立即;马上　4.huge amounts of大量的　5.respond to对……作出反应 6.convenient adj.方便的;便利的 【差距词汇】　implement v.执行;实施 八.阅读理解（8分） When it comes to work, workers, and jobs, much of the concern over the modern age boils down to the fear that we're witnessing the final stage of the game, and that there will be nowhere for humans to withdraw as machines take over the last few tasks. The most recent example comes from the use of artificial intelligence (AI). Is there no area of human experience that can't be replaced by AI? And if not, what is left for humans to do except the tasks involved in taking care of the machines? At the heart of this concern is our desire for good jobs—jobs that make the most of workers' natural abilities and where the work provides the worker with motivation and work⁃life balance. More importantly, good jobs support workers in learning by doing—and, in so doing, deliver benefits on three levels: to the worker, who gains in personal development and job satisfaction; to the organization, which reforms as staff find new problems to solve and opportunities to pursue; and to the community as a whole, which harvests the economic benefits of hosting positive organizations and workers. This is what makes good jobs productive for the organization, as well as engaging and fulfilling(令人心满意足的) for the worker. Does the ongoing advance of AI threaten to get rid of all the learning,creativity, and meaning that make a job a good job? Certainly, some have blamed technology for just such an outcome. The headlines today often express concern over technological innovation resulting in bad jobs for humans, or even the complete disappearance of certain occupations. Some fear that further technology advancement in the workplace will result in jobs where employees are being asked to work in split times or for longer periods over more days. The problem here isn't the technology; rather, it's the way the technology is used—and, more than that, the way people think about using it. 1.What jobs are supposed to be good according to the passage? A.Those that mainly have the economic benefits. B.The ones that offer chances to progress professionally. C.Those that make full use of workers' motivation. D.The ones that don't bring new problems to workers. 2.How do the news media respond to the development of AI? A.Negative. B.Supportive.　　 C.Optimistic.　　 D.Unknown. 3.What will the author probably talk about next? A.The future jobs humans will do.　　　　 B.The application of AI in the future. C.The ways that humans do jobs.　　　　 D.The proper attitude towards AI. 4.What is the passage mainly about? A.How to take care of the AI machines.　　　　 B.The relations between workers and jobs. C.The human's fears in the age of AI.　　　　 D.Human experience was replaced by AI. 语篇解读　本文是一篇议论文。文章点明了人们对于人工智能时代的恐惧,分析了恐惧的深层原因,指出了对待人工智能的正确态度。 1.B　推理判断题。根据第二段中的 “More importantly, good jobs support workers in learning by doing...to the worker, who gains in personal development and job satisfaction”可知,好的工作支持工作者在工作中学习并且能够获得个人的成长和工作的满足感,故可推断好的工作是能够提供职业发展机会的工作。故选B。 易错归因 　　本题容易错选C项,但犯了张冠李戴的错误,原文第二段第一句中提到的是,好的工作充分利用工作者的天资,好的工作为工作者提供动力和工作与生活的平衡,由此可以排除C项。 2.A　推理判断题。根据第三段第三句“The headlines today often express concern over technological innovation resulting in bad jobs for humans, or even the complete disappearance of certain occupations.”可知,新闻提要也表达了对于科技革新会导致人类工作状况变差,甚至部分职业会完全消失的担忧,故推断新闻媒体对于人工智能的反应是消极的,故选A。题目中的the news media对应文中的The headlines。 3.D　推理判断题。最后一段提到,这里的问题不在于技术;相反,关键在于技术的使用方式,而且,更重要的是人们如何看待技术的使用,故可推测下文会围绕对待人工智能的正确态度来展开介绍。故选D。 4.C　主旨大意题。通过下面表格我们可以得知,文章主要围绕人们对于人工智能时代的恐惧这一话题展开,故选C。 Paragraph 1 People’s fear of their jobs being replaced by AI Paragraph 2 the real reason for people’s fear Paragraph 3 the fear expressed by the news media Paragraph 4 the right attitude towards the technology 【高频词汇】　1.witness v.见证;目击　2.involve v.包含;卷入;使参与　3.motivation n.积极性;干劲;动力　4.get rid of摆脱　5.blame v.责备　6.result in导致 【差距词汇】　boil down to 归结为;基本问题是 长难句 原句　At the heart of this concern is our desire for good jobs—jobs that make the most of workers’ natural abilities and where the work provides the worker with motivation and work⁃life balance. 分析　“At the heart of this concern is our desire for good jobs”是介词短语置于句首的完全倒装;“that make the most of workers’ natural abilities”和“where the work provides the worker with motivation and work⁃life balance”是由and连接的两个并列的定语从句,都是修饰先行词jobs。 译文　这种担忧的核心是我们对好工作的渴望——这些工作能充分利用工作者的天赋,并为工作者提供动力和工作与生活的平衡。 $$Unit

Delightfully, 5G technology makes that future look easily achievable. Schools, hospitals, transportation, factories—even our homes will soon use this powerful wireless network. Last year, China started testing 5G mobile networks in its several cities. So what is 5G? It's the latest generation of cellular (蜂窝状的) network technology. 　1　  5G's benefits mainly come from speed and connectivity (连接). 　2　 People will be able to use the Internet at a much greater speed than before. Imagine being able to download an entire movie in just a few seconds! That's how fast 5G will be.  　3　 For example, one of the biggest problems with developing driverless cars is the delay between sending a signal and receiving it. Driverless cars must be able to react instantly to sudden changes in their environment, such as a dog running across the road. This will require these cars to send and receive huge amounts of data within milliseconds (毫秒). 　4　 It will also allow doctors to perform operations remotely, using robots. The robots will respond more quickly to the doctors' movements.  So what about 5G's connectivity? 　5　 Imagine having a smart home that automatically turns the lights on when you open your front door.  “New things become possible when you can move information on a massive scale,” Gordon Smith, CEO of telecom equipment reseller Sagent, told The Telegraph. “5G becomes the great enabler.” No matter where it is implemented, it looks like 5G will bring us a more exciting and convenient future. A.We may develop “smart” environments with it. B.Such speed helps other technologies too. C.5G will make this possible. D.It connects people's lives in various ways. E.It is faster and more stable than 4G, the previous generation. F.With 5G, people can conveniently solve many problems. G.The advantage of higher speeds is obvious. 1.　　　 2.　　　 3.　　　 4.　　　 5.　　　  八.阅读理解（8分） When it comes to work, workers, and jobs, much of the concern over the modern age boils down to the fear that we're witnessing the final stage of the game, and that there will be nowhere for humans to withdraw as machines take over the last few tasks. The most recent example comes from the use of artificial intelligence (AI). Is there no area of human experience that can't be replaced by AI? And if not, what is left for humans to do except the tasks involved in taking care of the machines? At the heart of this concern is our desire for good jobs—jobs that make the most of workers' natural abilities and where the work provides the worker with motivation and work⁃life balance. More importantly, good jobs support workers in learning by doing—and, in so doing, deliver benefits on three levels: to the worker, who gains in personal development and job satisfaction; to the organization, which reforms as staff find new problems to solve and opportunities to pursue; and to the community as a whole, which harvests the economic benefits of hosting positive organizations and workers. This is what makes good jobs productive for the organization, as well as engaging and fulfilling(令人心满意足的) for the worker. Does the ongoing advance of AI threaten to get rid of all the learning,creativity, and meaning that make a job a good job? Certainly, some have blamed technology for just such an outcome. The headlines today often express concern over technological innovation resulting in bad jobs for humans, or even the complete disappearance of certain occupations. Some fear that further technology advancement in the workplace will result in jobs where employees are being asked to work in split times or for longer periods over more days. The problem here isn't the technology; rather, it's the way the technology is used—and, more than that, the way people think about using it. 1.What jobs are supposed to be good according to the passage? A.Those that mainly have the economic benefits. B.The ones that offer chances to progress professionally. C.Those that make full use of workers' motivation. D.The ones that don't bring new problems to workers. 2.How do the news media respond to the development of AI? A.Negative. B.Supportive.　　 C.Optimistic.　　 D.Unknown. 3.What will the author probably talk about next? A.The future jobs humans will do.　　　　 B.The application of AI in the future. C.The ways that humans do jobs.　　　　 D.The proper attitude towards AI. 4.What is the passage mainly about? A.How to take care of the AI machines.　　　　 B.The relations between workers and jobs. C.The human's fears in the age of AI.　　　　 D.Human experience was replaced by AI. $$
