When our son was born, my wife and I discussed the financial and career influence of either of us taking extended leave. My wife is a dentist. The extended leave would have been harmful to the dentist office she built and to our household finances. Fortunately, my law firm offered paid paternity leave (陪产假), a unique benefit. But my wife was unsure whether she should take the extended leave — and at times, so was I. Although my boss was supportive, friends thought I had lost my mind and told me I was ruining my career.
I finally decided to take paternity leave. I’d never been able to experience the struggles of motherhood; I soon understood professional women facing the challenge of taking leave, as most people kept saying things like: “Enjoy your vacation!” Let’s be clear. Paternity leave is not a vacation. Saying so is rude to every stay-at-home parent. From when I woke up until I nearly passed out, I was taking care of my family.
Paternity leave is rare. Understandably, for small businesses, paid leave is too difficult to carry out financially, but for larger companies, it should be discussed as a benefit. Yet, according to studies, paid paternity leave dropped 5% from 2020 to 2024, and, in fact, only 12% of private U.S. workers receive paid leave.
Beyond paid leave, we must address the “flexibility stigma (耻辱)” — a cultural belief considering workers who use parental leave policies as poor-quality or undeserving. Fathers may experience pressure to give up taking paternity leave to preserve the image of an “ideal worker”.
Paternity leave isn’t an excuse for not working. Before my leave, I was the top billing associate in my law firm. This is about redefining societal standards and gender roles. Will my son remember those first four months of Daddy reading Curious George or singing Goodnight Moon? Maybe not. But my wife and I have now set the tone for how gender does not define family roles in our household or society.
41. What makes the author hesitate about taking paternity leave at times?
A. The negative opinion of his friends. B. The concern expressed by his wife.
C. The lack of support from his boss. D. The financial burden on the whole family.
42. What do most people think of taking paternity leave?
A. It’s necessary to fathers. B. It’s unfair to fathers.
C. It’s tiring work. D. It’s relaxing.
43. What do Paragraphs 3 and 4 mainly talk about?
A. The problems with fathers’ present paternity leave policies.
B. The influence of fathers’ paid paternity leave on businesses.
C. Social reasons behind fathers’ rarely taking paternity leave.
D. Fathers’ attitude towards taking paternity leave.
44. Which of the following most probably fits the image of an “ideal worker”?
A. Achieving a good balance between work and life.
B. Having the ability to adapt to various jobs.
C. Completing the work with great efficiency.
D. Being fully devoted to work without any absence.
45. What is the author’s view on his experience of taking paternity leave?
A. It prepares the author for his future job.
B. It is helpful in changing fixed ideas about males.
C. It is of great benefit to his son’s future development.
D. It improves the father-child relationship.
【答案】41. A 42. D 43. C 44. D 45. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者讲述了自己在儿子出生后,虽面临朋友质疑和“灵活度耻辱”等压力,仍选择休公司提供的带薪陪产假,亲身体会到育儿并非休假,并指出美国带薪陪产假普及率低的现状,呼吁重新定义社会标准与性别角色,强调家庭角色不应由性别决定。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“But my wife was unsure whether she should take the extended leave — and at times, so was I. Although my boss was supportive, friends thought I had lost my mind and told me I was ruining my career.(但我的妻子不确定她是否应该休长假——有时,我也不确定。尽管我的老板很支持我,但朋友们认为我疯了,说我这样做会毁了我的事业)”可知,朋友的负面评价使作者有时对休陪产假犹豫不决。故选A。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“I soon understood professional women facing the challenge of taking leave, as most people kept saying things like: “Enjoy your vacation!” (我很快就理解了职业女性面临休假挑战的原因,因为大多数人都在说:“好好享受假期!”)”可知,大多数人认为休陪产假是让人放松的。故选D。
【43题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“Paternity leave is rare. Understandably, for small businesses, paid leave is too difficult to carry out financially, but for larger companies, it should be discussed as a benefit. Yet, according to studies, paid paternity leave dropped 5% from 2020 to 2024, and, in fact, only 12% of private U.S. workers receive paid leave.(陪产假很少见。可以理解的是,对于小企业来说,带薪休假在财务上很难实施,但对于大公司来说,应该作为一种福利来讨论。然而,根据研究,从2020年到2024年,带薪陪产假减少了5%,事实上,只有12%的美国私营企业员工有带薪陪产假)”及第四段“Beyond paid leave, we must address the “flexibility stigma (耻辱)” — a cultural belief considering workers who use parental leave policies as poor-quality or undeserving. Fathers may experience pressure to give up taking paternity leave to preserve the image of an “ideal workers”.(除了带薪休假,我们还必须解决“灵活性耻辱”——一种文化观念,认为使用育儿假政策的工人质量差或不配享受产假。父亲们可能会因为压力而放弃休陪产假,以保持“理想工作者”的形象)”可知,三、四段主要关于父亲很少休陪产假背后的社会原因。故选C。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Fathers may experience pressure to give up taking paternity leave to preserve the image of an ‘ideal workers’.(为了维持“理想员工”的形象,父亲们可能会面临放弃休陪产假的压力)可知,“理想员工”的形象与“放弃休陪产假”相关,由此可推断出理想员工应是全身心投入工作、不缺勤的人。故选D。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“This is about redefining societal standards and gender roles. But my wife and I have now set the tone for how gender does not define family roles in our household or society.(这关乎重新定义社会标准和性别角色。但我和妻子现在已经为性别不定义我们家庭或社会中的家庭角色奠定了基调)”推知,作者认为休陪产假有助于改变人们对男性的固有观念。故选B。
C
Humans make decisions using statistical information every day. For example, we weigh the likelihood of various factors when deciding what to bet in card games.
However, humans aren’t alone in using statistical inferences in decision-making. Until now, human cousins like monkeys and also some birds have been regarded as the only animals to show evidence of reasoning based on probability and statistics, which requires advanced mental power. These animals have large brains relative to their body size, which is often linked with high intelligence.
Researchers from the University of Barcelona oppugned such statements and suspected that an animal with a small brain relative to its body size could also perform statistical reasoning.
Giraffes were an ideal choice. But researchers had a concern: When we choose a checkout line at a grocery store, we typically just count the number of people in each line, not weighing the probability. Statistical reasoning is quite distinct from basic counting. Giraffes have already shown an ability to perform quantity discrimination (being able to tell a larger number of items from a smaller number), which poses a challenge for the researchers to confirm their suspicion.
The research team settled on a special approach where they started with a mixture of carrots the animal desires along with zucchinis (密生西葫芦) they dislike and varied the number and proportion (比例) of both items.
The researchers placed different proportions of carrots and zucchinis into two plastic containers to test whether the giraffes could predict a higher likelihood of receiving a carrot. Each test consisted of 20 trials in which a researcher selected a piece of food from each container without showing it to the giraffes. The giraffes then touched the hand they wanted to eat from, using only the information they had from the containers.
In the first test, where one container had 20 carrots and 80 zucchinis and another had 80 carrots and 20 zucchinis, each giraffe chose the hand that had a higher probability of holding a carrot at least 17 times. In the following two tests, the proportion of carrots and zucchinis was changed. Yet again the giraffes chose correctly.
The combined results indicated that the researchers’ idea was convincing.
46. What is the existing theory about animals’ statistical reasoning based on?
A. Brain processing is never unique to humans.
B. Animals are smart enough to perform reasoning.
C. Animals with larger bodies have larger brains.
D. Brain size is positively related to intelligence.
47. What does the underlined word “oppugned” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Declared. B. Applauded. C. Explained. D. Questioned.
48. What made giraffes the ideal subjects of this study?
A. Their brains are small compared with their bodies.
B. They eat carrots in preference to zucchinis.
C. They are good at making predictions.
D. Their ability to interact with humans is relatively good.
49. Why did the research team introduce a special approach to the study?
A. To determine whether giraffes prefer carrots or zucchinis.
B. To rule out the effect of giraffes’ quantity discrimination.
C. To observe the giraffes’ behavior in different situations.
D. To test the giraffes’ ability to perform basic counting.
50. What did the test results show?
A. Giraffes rely on visual information to make food choices.
B. Giraffes’ sense of proportion is limited.
C. Giraffes are capable of statistical reasoning.
D. Giraffes’ food preferences can be changed through training.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是巴塞罗那大学的研究者对动物统计推理能力传统观点的质疑与验证,核心内容是通过实验证明长颈鹿具备基于概率和统计进行推理的能力。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“However, humans aren’t alone in using statistical inferences in decision-making. Until now, human cousins like monkeys and also some birds have been regarded as the only animals to show evidence of reasoning based on probability and statistics, which requires advanced mental power. These animals have large brains relative to their body size, which is often linked with high intelligence.(然而,在决策中运用统计推断的并非只有人类。迄今为止,猴子等与人类亲缘关系较近的动物,以及部分鸟类,被认为是唯一能展现出基于概率和统计进行推理能力的动物——这种推理能力需要复杂的心智活动。这些动物的大脑相对于自身体型而言体积更大,而这一点通常与高智商相关联。)”可知,现有的关于动物统计推理能力的理论是基于大脑大小与智力呈正相关这一观点,即大脑相对身体越大,智力越高。故选D。
【47题详解】
词句猜测题。 根据第三段中的“suspected that an animal with a small brain relative to its body size could also perform statistical reasoning(怀疑与体型相比,大脑较小的动物也能进行统计推理)”可知,研究人员对已有的论断持质疑的态度,故划线词的词义为“质疑”,和Questioned意思相近。故选D。
【48题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Researchers from the University of Barcelona oppugned such statements and suspected that an animal with a small brain relative to its body size could also perform statistical reasoning.(巴塞罗那大学的研究人员对这种说法提出了质疑,他们怀疑,相对于体型而言,大脑较小的动物也可以进行统计推理。)”和第四段“Giraffes were an ideal choice.(长颈鹿是一个理想的选择。)”可推知,让长颈鹿成为这项研究的理想对象的是与它们的身体相比,它们的大脑很小。故选A。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Statistical reasoning is quite distinct from basic counting. Giraffes have already shown an ability to perform quantity discrimination (being able to tell a larger number of items from a smaller number), which poses a challenge for the researchers to confirm their suspicion.(统计推理与基本的计数是截然不同的。长颈鹿已经表现出进行数量辨别的能力(能够从较小的数量中分辨出较多的物品),这对研究人员证实他们的怀疑提出了挑战。)”可推知,研究人员指出统计推理与基本的计数是截然不同的,所以为了排除长颈鹿基于数量区分做出选择这一可能性,他们引入了一个特别的方法。故选B。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。 根据第三段“Researchers from the University of Barcelona oppugned such statements and suspected that an animal with a small brain relative to its body size could also perform statistical reasoning.(巴塞罗那大学的研究人员对这种说法提出了质疑,他们怀疑,相对于体型而言,大脑较小的动物也可以进行统计推理。)”,倒数第二段的“Yet again the giraffes chose correctly.(但是长颈鹿再次做出了正确的选择。)”以及最后一段“The combined results indicated that the researchers’ idea was convincing.(综合结果表明,研究人员的想法是令人信服的。)”可推知,长颈鹿具有统计推理的能力。故选C。
D
In a 350,000 square feet Amazon warehouse(仓库), a robot called Sparrow is working. Using computer vision and AI, Amazon says Sparrow can identify most of its products, tell which is damaged, and adjust its “hand” to handle different objects — all jobs once done by humans. Sparrow is just one of these robots. Other innovations include a green robot called Proteus, capable of shifting heavy loads, and a drone (无人机), which allows the company to deliver 500 million packages by air. The 2020s will be the “age of applied robotics”, said Tye Brady, chief technologist at Amazon Robotics.
In recent years, Amazon has become one of the world’s largest private employers. That growth has not come without pain. Robot packers, robot movers and robot deliveries could be an answer to issues caused by using human labor. People have predicted that robots will damage the labour market for decades. Economist John Maynard Keynes foretold that widespread technological unemployment was coming due to our discovery of means of saving the use of labour developing faster than the pace at which we could find new uses for labor.
“I just don’t see that at all,” said Brady. “More robots will boost the efficiency of warehouses, which means that they can store more goods, that Amazon will sell more stuff, and that more people will be needed to make sure everything runs smoothly. The need for people to solve problems and use common sense will always be there. We are nowhere near that with robotics. It’s not even close.”
Brady may be right on job numbers. A recent report said there was “little support” for the idea that the new era of smart machines would lead to job destruction, but there is no fixed number of jobs and new ones take their place. Warehouse jobs, for example, replaced retail jobs as online shopping weakened shopping malls.
But all this change isn’t necessarily good for workers. In a paper, co-authors Beth Gutelius and Nik Theodore concluded that tech innovations at warehouses were unlikely to cost significant jobs. But, they argued, employers “may use technology in ways that decrease the skill requirements of jobs in order to reduce training times and turnover costs. This could create unfavorable effects on workers, such as the wage fall and job insecurity.”
Such arguments are unlikely to slow Amazon’s robot revolution. “We will react to what customers want and if they want their toothpaste faster, we will help them get their toothpaste faster,” Brady said.
51. What does the author mean to show by introducing Sparrow, Proteus and a drone?
A. Amazon’s advanced robotic technology. B. Amazon’s clear trend in using robots to work.
C. The different division of labor among robots. D. The reason for Amazon’s quick delivery.
52. What aspect of robots does John stress in Paragraph 2?
A. Their threat to the labour force. B. Their technological problems.
C. Their application prospects. D. Their potential application fields.
53. Which point does Brady miss in his statement according to the recent report?
A. Amazon aims to offer large-scale employment in the future.
B. The increase in some jobs comes at the expense of others.
C. The new era of smart machines is just around the corner.
D. Robots have a long way to go to replace humans.
54. Which of the following might reflect Gutelius and Theodore’s opinion?
A. Robots will take up some significant jobs.
B. Demanding jobs will be unnecessary in robotic ages.
C. Technology makes common workers more replaceable.
D. Skill requirements of jobs are becoming higher nowadays.
55. What is the author trying to do through the text?
A. Promote the use of robots. B. Advertise smart products.
C. Express sympathy for workers. D. Report a controversial issue.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了亚马逊公司使用机器人提高了工作效率,但也引发对劳动力市场影响的争议。
【51题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段对Sparrow, Proteus和无人机的描述以及“The 2020s will be the “age of applied robotics”, said Tye Brady, chief technologist at Amazon Robotics.(亚马逊机器人公司的首席技术专家泰伊·布雷迪表示,21 世纪 20 年代将是“应用型机器人技术的时代”。)”可知,作者想要表达亚马逊明确使用机器人工作的趋势。故选B。
【52题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Economist John Maynard Keynes foretold that widespread technological unemployment was coming due to our discovery of means of saving the use of labour developing faster than the pace at which we could find new uses for labor.(经济学家约翰·梅纳德·凯恩斯曾预言,由于我们找到了节省劳动力使用的方法,而这种方法的发展速度超过了我们为劳动力找到新用途的速度,因此大规模的失业现象即将出现。)”可知,约翰强调了机器人的使用会造成大规模的失业现象,对劳动力产生较大威胁。故选A。
【53题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段布雷迪说的话“and that more people will be needed to make sure everything runs smoothly. (而且还需要更多的人来确保一切能够顺利进行。)”和第四段“A recent report said there was “little support” for the idea that the new era of smart machines would lead to job destruction, but there is no fixed number of jobs and new ones take their place.(最近的一份报告指出,对于“智能机器的新时代会导致就业岗位减少”这一观点,人们“几乎没有支持意见”。但工作岗位的数量并非固定不变,新的工作岗位会不断取代旧的岗位。)”可知,布雷迪提到了亚马逊要在未来提供大量的就业机会和智能机器新时代的到来,以及机器人不会立刻导致就业岗位减少,从而取代人类这三点,并未提及某些岗位的增加以牺牲其他岗位为代价。故选B。
【54题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“But, they argued, employers “may use technology in ways that decrease the skill requirements of jobs in order to reduce training times and turnover costs. This could create unfavorable effects on workers, such as the wage fall and job insecurity.”(但他们认为,雇主“可能会利用技术手段降低工作岗位的技能要求,以减少培训时间和人员流动成本。这可能会对员工产生不利影响,比如工资下降和工作不稳定。”)”可知,古特留斯和西奥多认为技术手段可能会使员工工资下降、工作不稳定,由此可推知,科技会使普通劳动者更易被取代。故选C。
【55题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“The 2020s will be the “age of applied robotics”, said Tye Brady, chief technologist at Amazon Robotics.(亚马逊机器人公司的首席技术专家泰伊·布雷迪表示,21 世纪 20 年代将是“应用型机器人技术的时代”。)”、第二段“Economist John Maynard Keynes foretold that widespread technological unemployment was coming due to our discovery of means of saving the use of labour developing faster than the pace at which we could find new uses for labor.(经济学家约翰·梅纳德·凯恩斯曾预言,由于我们找到了节省劳动力使用的方法,而这种方法的发展速度超过了我们为劳动力找到新用途的速度,因此大规模的失业现象即将出现。)”、第三段““I just don’t see that at all,” said Brady. (“我完全不这么认为。”布雷迪说道。)”、第四段“But all this change isn’t necessarily good for workers. (但这一切变化对劳动者而言未必都是好事。)”和最后一段“Such arguments are unlikely to slow Amazon’s robot revolution. (这类言论不太可能阻碍亚马逊的机器人技术革新进程。)”可知,文章客观呈现机器人应用的两方观点:亚马逊主张机器人提升效率、增加就业;学者和报告指出其可能降低工资、引发岗位更替;作者未明显偏向任何一方,而是报道这一争议性议题。故选D。

A lump rose in my throat every time I thought of leaving our apartment in Virginia. I had known when I married my husband John, a soldier, that we’d have to move often. I just hadn’t known how hard it would be. I had lived in the same house for twenty-two years before I’d become a wife.
When the packers came, I watched hopelessly as they quickly packed up things in the house. And the comfortable life we had was stuffed out of sight. That night I called my mother-in-law. She’d been a self-described “corporate nomad (流浪者)” for most of her married life, never living anywhere for longer than three years. I figured if there was anyone that could understand my anxiety and share some experience, she was.
“I don’t know how you managed to move so many times. This is killing me mentally. I don’t want to leave. I love to be here,” I said. She replied, “I think of each move as a new adventure. I explored each place as much as I could with the kids. Every vacation we’d take a road trip to some new corners or historic sights. Life is too short to waste any of it crying, don’t you think?”
Her words stuck with me through my twenty years as a military wife. We made the most of every new duty station. I made efforts to make my kids embrace the same view of life. Every move is an opportunity to see new things and make new friends. And I celebrate the fact that I didn’t waste my time crying.

Thank you for your letter! Hearing the news that you take an interest in SCO Summit held successfully in Tianjin, I am overjoyed to introduce some situations to you as follows:
SCO Summit held in Tianjin has drawn widespread attention both at home and abroad. Many international media outlets thought highly of Tianjin’s organizational capacity and warm hospitality. Not only did the Summit strengthen cooperation among member states but also showcased Tianjin’s ability to host high-level international conferences.
The Summit has brought remarkable changes to Tianjin. First and foremost, Tianjin’s international profile has been significantly raised. With leaders and delegates from different countries gathering here, Tianjin has gained more visibility on the global stage. What’s more, the Summit promoted cultural and people-to-people exchanges. Varieties of cultural activities were held, allowing locals to better understand the traditions and customs of SCO countries. Last but not least, in preparation for the Summit, Tianjin made great efforts to promote green development. You’d be amazed to see more electric buses on the road, newly expanded green spaces, and improved air quality, all of which have made Tianjin more livable and charming.
I truly hope you’ll have the chance to revisit Tianjin soon. I’d love to show you around Tianjin and let you see these positive changes with your own eyes.
Looking forward to your reply.

B
When our son was born, my wife and I discussed the financial and career influence of either of us taking extended leave. My wife is a dentist. The extended leave would have been harmful to the dentist office she built and to our household finances. Fortunately, my law firm offered paid paternity leave (陪产假), a unique benefit. But my wife was unsure whether she should take the extended leave — and at times, so was I. Although my boss was supportive, friends thought I had lost my mind and told me I was ruining my career.
I finally decided to take paternity leave. I’d never been able to experience the struggles of motherhood; I soon understood professional women facing the challenge of taking leave, as most people kept saying things like: “Enjoy your vacation!” Let’s be clear. Paternity leave is not a vacation. Saying so is rude to every stay-at-home parent. From when I woke up until I nearly passed out, I was taking care of my family.
Paternity leave is rare. Understandably, for small businesses, paid leave is too difficult to carry out financially, but for larger companies, it should be discussed as a benefit. Yet, according to studies, paid paternity leave dropped 5% from 2020 to 2024, and, in fact, only 12% of private U.S. workers receive paid leave.
Beyond paid leave, we must address the “flexibility stigma (耻辱)” — a cultural belief considering workers who use parental leave policies as poor-quality or undeserving. Fathers may experience pressure to give up taking paternity leave to preserve the image of an “ideal worker”.
Paternity leave isn’t an excuse for not working. Before my leave, I was the top billing associate in my law firm. This is about redefining societal standards and gender roles. Will my son remember those first four months of Daddy reading Curious George or singing Goodnight Moon? Maybe not. But my wife and I have now set the tone for how gender does not define family roles in our household or society.
41. What makes the author hesitate about taking paternity leave at times?
A. The negative opinion of his friends. B. The concern expressed by his wife.
C. The lack of support from his boss. D. The financial burden on the whole family.
42. What do most people think of taking paternity leave?
A. It’s necessary to fathers. B. It’s unfair to fathers.
C. It’s tiring work. D. It’s relaxing.
43. What do Paragraphs 3 and 4 mainly talk about?
A. The problems with fathers’ present paternity leave policies.
B. The influence of fathers’ paid paternity leave on businesses.
C. Social reasons behind fathers’ rarely taking paternity leave.
D. Fathers’ attitude towards taking paternity leave.
44. Which of the following most probably fits the image of an “ideal worker”?
A. Achieving a good balance between work and life.
B. Having the ability to adapt to various jobs.
C. Completing the work with great efficiency.
D. Being fully devoted to work without any absence.
45. What is the author’s view on his experience of taking paternity leave?
A. It prepares the author for his future job.
B. It is helpful in changing fixed ideas about males.
C. It is of great benefit to his son’s future development.
D. It improves the father-child relationship.
C
Humans make decisions using statistical information every day. For example, we weigh the likelihood of various factors when deciding what to bet in card games.
However, humans aren’t alone in using statistical inferences in decision-making. Until now, human cousins like monkeys and also some birds have been regarded as the only animals to show evidence of reasoning based on probability and statistics, which requires advanced mental power. These animals have large brains relative to their body size, which is often linked with high intelligence.
Researchers from the University of Barcelona oppugned such statements and suspected that an animal with a small brain relative to its body size could also perform statistical reasoning.
Giraffes were an ideal choice. But researchers had a concern: When we choose a checkout line at a grocery store, we typically just count the number of people in each line, not weighing the probability. Statistical reasoning is quite distinct from basic counting. Giraffes have already shown an ability to perform quantity discrimination (being able to tell a larger number of items from a smaller number), which poses a challenge for the researchers to confirm their suspicion.
The research team settled on a special approach where they started with a mixture of carrots the animal desires along with zucchinis (密生西葫芦) they dislike and varied the number and proportion (比例) of both items.
The researchers placed different proportions of carrots and zucchinis into two plastic containers to test whether the giraffes could predict a higher likelihood of receiving a carrot. Each test consisted of 20 trials in which a researcher selected a piece of food from each container without showing it to the giraffes. The giraffes then touched the hand they wanted to eat from, using only the information they had from the containers.
In the first test, where one container had 20 carrots and 80 zucchinis and another had 80 carrots and 20 zucchinis, each giraffe chose the hand that had a higher probability of holding a carrot at least 17 times. In the following two tests, the proportion of carrots and zucchinis was changed. Yet again the giraffes chose correctly.
The combined results indicated that the researchers’ idea was convincing.
46. What is the existing theory about animals’ statistical reasoning based on?
A. Brain processing is never unique to humans.
B. Animals are smart enough to perform reasoning.
C. Animals with larger bodies have larger brains.
D. Brain size is positively related to intelligence.
47. What does the underlined word “oppugned” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Declared. B. Applauded. C. Explained. D. Questioned.
48. What made giraffes the ideal subjects of this study?
A. Their brains are small compared with their bodies.
B. They eat carrots in preference to zucchinis.
C. They are good at making predictions.
D. Their ability to interact with humans is relatively good.
49. Why did the research team introduce a special approach to the study?
A. To determine whether giraffes prefer carrots or zucchinis.
B. To rule out the effect of giraffes’ quantity discrimination.
C. To observe the giraffes’ behavior in different situations.
D. To test the giraffes’ ability to perform basic counting.
50. What did the test results show?
A. Giraffes rely on visual information to make food choices.
B. Giraffes’ sense of proportion is limited.
C. Giraffes are capable of statistical reasoning.
D. Giraffes’ food preferences can be changed through training.
D
In a 350,000 square feet Amazon warehouse(仓库), a robot called Sparrow is working. Using computer vision and AI, Amazon says Sparrow can identify most of its products, tell which is damaged, and adjust its “hand” to handle different objects — all jobs once done by humans. Sparrow is just one of these robots. Other innovations include a green robot called Proteus, capable of shifting heavy loads, and a drone (无人机), which allows the company to deliver 500 million packages by air. The 2020s will be the “age of applied robotics”, said Tye Brady, chief technologist at Amazon Robotics.
In recent years, Amazon has become one of the world’s largest private employers. That growth has not come without pain. Robot packers, robot movers and robot deliveries could be an answer to issues caused by using human labor. People have predicted that robots will damage the labour market for decades. Economist John Maynard Keynes foretold that widespread technological unemployment was coming due to our discovery of means of saving the use of labour developing faster than the pace at which we could find new uses for labor.
“I just don’t see that at all,” said Brady. “More robots will boost the efficiency of warehouses, which means that they can store more goods, that Amazon will sell more stuff, and that more people will be needed to make sure everything runs smoothly. The need for people to solve problems and use common sense will always be there. We are nowhere near that with robotics. It’s not even close.”
Brady may be right on job numbers. A recent report said there was “little support” for the idea that the new era of smart machines would lead to job destruction, but there is no fixed number of jobs and new ones take their place. Warehouse jobs, for example, replaced retail jobs as online shopping weakened shopping malls.
But all this change isn’t necessarily good for workers. In a paper, co-authors Beth Gutelius and Nik Theodore concluded that tech innovations at warehouses were unlikely to cost significant jobs. But, they argued, employers “may use technology in ways that decrease the skill requirements of jobs in order to reduce training times and turnover costs. This could create unfavorable effects on workers, such as the wage fall and job insecurity.”
Such arguments are unlikely to slow Amazon’s robot revolution. “We will react to what customers want and if they want their toothpaste faster, we will help them get their toothpaste faster,” Brady said.
51. What does the author mean to show by introducing Sparrow, Proteus and a drone?
A. Amazon’s advanced robotic technology. B. Amazon’s clear trend in using robots to work.
C. The different division of labor among robots. D. The reason for Amazon’s quick delivery.
52. What aspect of robots does John stress in Paragraph 2?
A. Their threat to the labour force. B. Their technological problems.
C. Their application prospects. D. Their potential application fields.
53. Which point does Brady miss in his statement according to the recent report?
A. Amazon aims to offer large-scale employment in the future.
B. The increase in some jobs comes at the expense of others.
C. The new era of smart machines is just around the corner.
D. Robots have a long way to go to replace humans.
54. Which of the following might reflect Gutelius and Theodore’s opinion?
A. Robots will take up some significant jobs.
B. Demanding jobs will be unnecessary in robotic ages.
C. Technology makes common workers more replaceable.
D. Skill requirements of jobs are becoming higher nowadays.
55. What is the author trying to do through the text?
A. Promote the use of robots. B. Advertise smart products.
C. Express sympathy for workers. D. Report a controversial issue.

A lump rose in my throat every time I thought of leaving our apartment in Virginia. I had known when I married my husband John, a soldier, that we’d have to move often. I just hadn’t known how hard it would be. I had lived in the same house for twenty-two years before I’d become a wife.
When the packers came, I watched hopelessly as they quickly packed up things in the house. And the comfortable life we had was stuffed out of sight. That night I called my mother-in-law. She’d been a self-described “corporate nomad (流浪者)” for most of her married life, never living anywhere for longer than three years. I figured if there was anyone that could understand my anxiety and share some experience, she was.
“I don’t know how you managed to move so many times. This is killing me mentally. I don’t want to leave. I love to be here,” I said. She replied, “I think of each move as a new adventure. I explored each place as much as I could with the kids. Every vacation we’d take a road trip to some new corners or historic sights. Life is too short to waste any of it crying, don’t you think?”
Her words stuck with me through my twenty years as a military wife. We made the most of every new duty station. I made efforts to make my kids embrace the same view of life. Every move is an opportunity to see new things and make new friends. And I celebrate the fact that I didn’t waste my time crying.
