If job seekers knew companies were using AI to fill open positions,would it stop them from applying for the job? The answer,according to a recent study,is yes — sometimes.
The researchers found that in certain instances,like the screening(筛选) of applications,participants usually accepted some degree of automation.But in other instances,like interviews,automation could stop job seekers from applying for a position.
Companies facing recent labor shortages are increasingly turning to AI as a way to facilitate and speed up the hiring process.AI can be used in tasks such as screening job candidates,checking professional licenses,and interviewing candidates.
The new research suggests that using AI in hiring could be quite opposite.For instance,in one part of the study,participants were shown fictional job postings and then asked if they intended to apply for the position.The researchers found that if the job posting said that AI was used both to screen applicants and to conduct interviews,participants' intention to apply for the position averaged 2.77 on a sixpoint scale.If AI was used only for the screening process,participants' intention to apply averaged 3.73.
In another experiment,the researchers also found that study participants saw pros and cons in the use of AI in interviewing.When told the hiring would be fully automated,some participants expected the whole hiring process to be more consistent(始终如一的) in its judgments.But others tended to believe that they had less voice in the final outcome.Overall,the study results suggest this concern tends to outweigh the appreciation of AI's lack of bias(偏见) at the interviewing stage.
A mixed approach may be a way to get the best of both words.Participants may have been more open to automation earlier in the hiring process because they could see some benefits from using AI—such as lessbiased decisions.But during the later stages applicants expect personal interaction,to give them an opportunity to sell themselves and to learn more about the company.
4.Why do companies increasingly turn to AI in hiring?
A.To attract more applicants.
B.To boost hiring process.
C.To pick out top candidates.
D.To solve labor shortages.
5.In which part do participants prefer automation?
A.Screening job candidates.
B.Interviewing candidates.
C.Grading professional licenses.
D.Predicting final outcomes.
6.What does the underlined part “this concern” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A.Less AI involvement.
B.Lack of consistent judgments.
C.Lessbiased decisions.
D.Lack of personal interaction.
7.What's the main idea of the text?
A.Hitech is a twoedged sword.
B.AI finds its way to hiring process.
C.Automation may discourage job seekers.
D.A mixed approach should be adopted in hiring.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了公司正在使用人工智能填补空缺职位,但人工智能可能会阻碍求职者申请职位。
4.B [解析]细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Companies facing recent labor shortages are increasingly turning to AI as a way to facilitate and speed up the hiring process.(最近面临劳动力短缺的公司越来越多地将人工智能作为促进和加快招聘过程的一种方式。)”可知,越来越多的公司在招聘时求助于人工智能是为了促进招聘流程。故选B。
5.A [解析]细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“The researchers found that in certain instances,like the screening of applications,participants usually accepted some degree of automation.(研究人员发现,在某些情况下,比如筛选申请,参与者通常会接受某种程度的自动化。)”可知,参与者在筛选求职者时更喜欢自动化。故选A。
6.D [解析]词义猜测题。根据文章画线部分上文“But others tended to believe that they had less voice in the final outcome.(但其他人倾向于认为,他们在最终结果中没有多少发言权。)”以及下文“tends to outweigh the appreciation of AI's lack of bias at the interviewing stage (往往超过了对人工智能在面试阶段缺乏偏见的评价)”可知,画线部分this concern指代的是上文提到的人们所担忧的事情,即使用人工智能进行面试时,他们会在最终结果中没有多少发言权,即缺乏人际互动。故选D。
7.C [解析]主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了使用人工智能求职可能会阻碍求职者申请职位。故选C。
C
We are all busy talking about and using the Internet, but how many of us know the history of the Internet?
Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks didn't work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way, computer network system would keep on working all the time.
At first the Internet was only used by the government, but in the early 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks were allowed to use it, too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of the 1990s, computers had become cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software that made “surfing” the Internet more convenient.
Today it is easy to get online and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day. Sending email is more and more popular among students.
The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people's life.
8.How many years has the Internet been around by 2020?
A.Ten. B.Twenty. C.Sixty. D.Seventy.
9.What is the purpose of establishing a new network system?
A.To break down the whole network.
B.To make itself keep on working all the time.
C.To make computers cheaper.
D.To make computers large and expensive.
10.At first who used the Internet?
A.Scientists. B.The government.
C.Schools. D.Hospitals and banks.
11.What made “surfing” the Internet more convenient?
A.Software. B.Scientists.
C.Information. D.Computers.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了互联网的历史。
8.C [解析]细节理解题。根据第二段的第一句“Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s.”可知,因特网是在20世纪60年代建立起来的,到2020年有大约六十年的历史。故选C。
9.B [解析]推理判断题。根据第二段中的“It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way, computer network system would keep on working all the time.”可知,新的网络系统应该足够好,可以被许多不同的计算机使用。如果网络的一部分不工作,信息可以通过另一部分发送。这样,计算机网络系统就可以一直工作下去。由此推知,建立一个新的网络系统的目的是使它能一直工作,故选B。
10.B [解析]细节理解题。根据第三段中的At first the Internet was only used by the government可知,起初,因特网只被政府使用,故选B。
11.A [解析]细节理解题。根据第三段的最后一句“Scientists had also developed software that made ‘surfing’ the Internet more convenient.”可知,软件使得上网更加方便。故选A。

Another benefit which is often ignored is its positive impact on their mental health.With online resources,such as anxiety apps and depression support groups,students can deal with stress and anxiety.They can seek help when in need,as online counseling services are available 24/7.

(2024·沈阳高一检测)Accessing the Internet isn't normally a problem when you're inside your own home—it's secure.When you are in a public place,it's a different story.You can access WiFi in more places than ever,enabling you to keep in touch or catch up with work from wherever you happen to be.16. .
17. ,because you don't know who sets it up,or who else is connecting to it.You'd better not use it.Use your smartphone as a hotspot instead.But for the time that's not practical or even possible,you can still limit the damage from public WiFi with a few simple steps.
No public WiFi network is absolutely secure.That depends as much on who's on it with you as who provides it.Be careful with the public WiFi network popping up on your phone in a shopping mall,or a network operated by a third party that you've never heard of.18. .
If you can,stick to as few public WiFi networks as possible.In a new city,connect to WiFi in a store or coffee shop you've used before,for example.19. ,the more likely the chances that you'll come across one that isn't treating your data and browsing as carefully as it should be.
Don't give away too much information.20. .For example,you shouldn't let out your email address or your phone number.
A.The more networks you sign up to
B.Using a bit of common sense doesn't hurt
C.A public WiFi network is less secure than your personal one
D.Be very cautious if you are asked for a lot of personal details
E.If you have to connect to networks like this,choose those you trust
F.But getting online isn't quite as safe as with your home network
G.It's up to you to decide whether the tradeoff is worth it for some free Internet access

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It is strange how a single moment can change a person's life. It is incredible how one simple act of love can forever change one's soul.
My adult son walked to the table this morning for breakfast. He opened his arms to me, saying, “Good morning, Mom. I love you!” I opened my arms, too, responding, “Good morning, honey. I love you, too!” And I gave him a big hug just like I do every morning. Just at this time, a beautiful memory from many years ago came back to me.
My Italian grandmother who lived in countryside liked hugging very much when I was a girl. But my mom had studied in the city and grown up in a more reserved environment. My mom hugged me sometimes, but less often as I grew into my teenage years. My dad also seemed to follow the gender roles of the day back then and didn't hug me much as I got older. By the time I was a teenager, I didn't hug anyone else except my grandmother.
I clearly remembered that when I was sixteen, I left on a trip with a group of boys to tour a college in the middle west America. As we entered the college, we were greeted there by an old professor. He was over six and a half feet tall with huge arms and a powerful voice. And as he greeted us, he gave each one of us a huge hug. When my turn came, I felt scared but stepped forward and hugged him back. I felt warmth in my heart as he shared his loving kindness. I felt peace and joy in my spirit as well. It was amazing.
Later that day, I began to wonder why I had ever stopped giving and receiving hugs when they brought so much joy. When my children were born, I decided to never stop hugging them and telling them I loved them, no matter how old they grew. As time went by, my children got used to my hugs and they learned to offer to hug me and others.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
I posted the story of my hug on the Internet.
Paragraph 2:
Then I started a “Hug Me” activity with my friends.
[参考范文]
Paragraph 1:
I posted the story of my hug on the Internet. And it got a huge response from people. Many emailed me to tell me they felt the same way I did. They shared their hugging stories with me, saying that hugs gave them deep love and made them grow up healthily and happily. I selected 100 of the most moving stories and published a book with their permission. To my great amazement, the book became the best seller of the year, which encouraged me to go further.
Paragraph 2:
Then I started a “Hug Me” activity with my friends. We went to quite a few public places, such as supermarkets, squares, entrances to the cinema and so on, where we put up our boards to promote the power of hugging. We tried to inspire people to hug their family members, relatives and friends. We also hugged some strangers who were willing to give us a hug. I realized a little hug was a sign of deep love and could make a difference.
