A March 2023 report said AI could do a quarter of all the work that humans do. In Europe and America, 300 million people may lose their jobs because of AI. But it's not all bad news. Scientists have pointed out that there are still jobs that AI can't replace. People who do these jobs have less risk of losing work. New jobs will also spring up as AI develops. The first are jobs that need creativity: you need to think of new ideas and make new things. For example, scientists who come up with new ideas may keep their jobs. People get a strong sense of achievement from these jobs. The second are jobs with important human connections. Doctors and reporters are some of them. These jobs need a deep understanding of people. It will be a long time before AI can build relationships with humans. The third are jobs that need lots of problem-solving skills, like welders. These jobs mean dealing with new situations all the time. They are probably the hardest to be replaced by AI. In short, choosing a job that needs creativity, human connections or problem-solving skills not only helps you keep your job, but also brings a sense of achievement. ( ) 12. Who may lose the job easily according to the passage? A. A driver. B. A doctor. C. A reporter. D. A scientist. ( ) 13. What does the underlined word “They” refer to? A.

AI can do all the work that humans do. B. New jobs will appear as AI develops. C. Doctors will be replaced by AI soon. D. Creativity is not important for jobs. ( ) 15. What's the best title of the passage? A. AI will develop very quickly B. Jobs that AI can't replace C. How to make new jobs D. Ways to avoid losing jobs E Do you know an everyday hero?

I believe if I work hard, my dream will come true one day.         学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
