限时规范练(三十四)　UNIT 4　A glimpse of the future (限时25分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 (2025·四川成都第三次诊断性检测)Almost 40% of all global employment may be affected by AI, according to analysis by the International Monetary Fund. But don't be alarmed. That doesn't mean 40% jobs will disappear altogether. Instead, we're talking about humans working alongside AI tools, not being replaced by them. Speaking at the 2023 World Economic Forum's Growth Summit, economist Richard Baldwin said, “AI won't take your job. It's somebody using AI that will take your job.” This means that if you don't know how to work with AI, you're in a much riskier position—certainly compared to someone who knows how to use it to improve their job efficiency. So, consider how you could start integrating AI into your everyday work. Can you use it to polish an email, for example? Can you use it as a productivity tool ...If not, try your best to get to grips with it. There are tons of free (and paid) courses out there that can help you. However, just knowing how to work effectively with AI is far from enough. It's also important to position yourself in the organization in line with the things that AIs can't do. Basically, think about how you can take on more responsibilities in the areas where human skills are still needed and will always be needed—areas like creativity, complex decision making, interpersonal relationships and so on. These are the areas where humans will continue to have the edge over machines. Anyone who wants to gain future workplace success should develop the relevant skills. It's not surprising that change is uncomfortable. But today's workplaces are full of rapid and near­constant change. So, if change is something you struggle with, now is a good time to embrace and address that. 1．How may AI influence global employment in the future? A．It may cause severe job loss. B．It may threaten people's safety. C．It may change the way we work. D．It may lessen peer competition. 2．What can we infer from Paragraph 4? A．AI helps us become more creative. B．AI can hardly replace us in some areas. C．AI is much less effective than we think. D．AI is able to make complicated decisions. 3．What is the writer's attitude towards the challenges caused by AI? A．Positive. B．Doubtful. C．Disappointed. D．Unconcerned. 4．What is the purpose of the text? A．To share experience of using AI in work. B．To advise us to stay relevant in the age of AI. C.To introduce different functions of generative AI. D．To explain why we should improve our productivity. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了AI对全球就业的影响，并指出虽然AI可能会影响到许多工作，但并不意味着这些工作会完全消失，而是人们将和AI工具一起工作。文章建议人们学习如何与AI有效合作，并思考如何在需要人类技能的领域承担更多责任，以保持在职场中的竞争力。 1．C　[解析]细节理解题。根据文章第一段尤其是最后一句可知，人工智能可能会改变我们的工作方式。故选C。 2．B　[解析]推理判断题。根据文章第四段可以推断出，人工智能在某些领域(如创造力、复杂决策、人际关系等)很难取代人类。故选B。 3．A　[解析]推理判断题。根据文章最后一段可推知，作者对人工智能带来的挑战持积极态度。故选A。 4．B　[解析]推理判断题。文章主要讨论了AI对全球就业的影响，并指出虽然AI可能会影响到许多工作，但并不意味着这些工作会完全消失，而是人们将和AI工具一起工作。文章建议人们学习如何与AI有效合作，并思考如何在需要人类技能的领域承担更多责任，以保持在职场中的竞争力。因此，文章的主要目的是建议我们在AI时代保持相关性(与时俱进)。故选B。 Ⅱ.七选五阅读 When your child begins to beg for a pet，you may draw back at the thought of the additional responsibilities.Parents usually think of all the work and responsibility having a pet could bring about.1.______ •Teach responsibility.
