Section Ⅰ　“Understanding ideas”的课文习读环节 [课时跟踪检测]　　　(标语篇配有教师讲评课件) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Recently an old friend reached out to me to ask about the success I've had in my life (or at least what looks like success on social media) and how I achieved it.He has similar goals to mine: get in shape, get into music more seriously and be fluent in Japanese. Though I haven't entirely reached my long­term goals yet in any of these 3 ways, he's seen that I've made some progress on my journey to achieving these goals and wanted my advice. We had a nice chat for an hour and a half on the phone about this and it seemed like he was pretty motivated by the end of the chat.A week went by and he told me that he signed up for a personal fitness trainer, studied music theory and sent me clips of him studying Japanese.He's posting regularly on social media about all the progress he's making.He's motivated and doing great! At last I'll have to remind him that progress isn't linear (线性的) and that he'll finally meet with some challenges on the road, but I'm letting him enjoy the present progress in the meantime and will help him tackle them when that time comes. I'm grateful for him giving me the opportunity to serve him and give him advice, and I'm grateful to see that he's investing time and money to improve his life.He even posted recently about how grateful he is for all the recent changes in his life. Even if you're still not where you want to be, there are a lot of people out there who want what you have and who are impressed with how far you've come.It's extremely joyful to be aware of how far you've come, be proud of yourself, and recognize how much you can help others achieve the same. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过自己的故事讲述了一个道理：只要你目标明确、努力进取，即使你还没有达到自己的目标，但你已经比自己以为的走得更远了。 1．Why did the author's friend contact him?

To succeed in this AI­driven era, adopting a skills­first mindset has become essential for both employees and employers. For workers, this approach requires redefining your jobs as a collection of tasks rather than fixed titles. As AI advances, these tasks will change. Categorizing them into those AI can take over, enhance, or require human skills helps employees identify which skills to develop to stay competitive. Studies show that 25% of job skills have changed since 2015, and this figure is expected to reach 65% by 2030. Apart from AI literacy, human skills like problem­solving, strategic thinking, and time management are gaining importance. Notably, 92% of U．S. bosses emphasize that human skills are more critical than ever. The rise of AI has made it even more important for employers to prioritize a skill­focused approach to hiring and talent development. The number of people with AI skills is nine times larger than it was in 2016. And there is a hunger to put these newly developed skills into practice: LinkedIn job posts mentioning AI have seen 17% higher application growth. With such a trend, leaders focusing on skills rather than degrees will unlock potential. Employers will increasingly become educators, training employees through onboarding (入职培训), practical projects, and academies. The year 2024 marks a turning point in human­AI cooperation. Core human skills — including active listening, empathy, and teamwork — are becoming central to career success, while interpersonal cooperation drives company success. Thus, AI should be seen as a tool enabling people to work more effectively and focus on valuable aspects of their jobs. For example, AI can automate routine tasks such as drafting job postings, enabling recruiters (招聘人员) to focus on strategic activities like building relationships with candidates. Similarly, software engineers use AI for repetitive coding, freeing time for creative innovation. The future of work will emphasize adaptability. Employees must continuously update their skills, while employers act as educators, preparing workers for evolving roles. By fostering a culture of lifelong learning and prioritizing human­AI partnerships, we can create a more fulfilling and human­centered work environment. 语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文，主要探讨人工智能(AI)如何改变工作性质，强调员工要培养以技能为核心的能力，雇主要转变人才培养策略，推动人机协作以应对未来职场挑战。 5．What is emphasized for employees in the AI era?

A．AI concentrates more on the value of a job. B．Interpersonal cooperation alone is sufficient for career success. C．Software developers stress coding more than innovation. D．AI equips recruiters to connect with applicants more attentively. 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第四段后两句可知，人工智能可自动化日常任务，使招聘人员专注于与候选人建立关系等战略性活动，由此可推知，人工智能使招聘人员能更专注地与求职者建立联系。 8．What is the author's attitude towards applying AI to the working field?
