5.句意:他们也努力寻找解决问题的办法,并在日常生活中帮助人们。
本句表示递进语境,且空处位于实义动词前,also“也”符合句意和语法要求,too常置于句末。

12.句意:航天员探索太空并进行实验,以帮助科学家研究宇宙。
根据“space”以及航天员的职业性质可知,他们是对太空进行“探索”,对应的英文表达为explore。
13.句意:去太空是一项巨大的成就,因为它非常难。
后文“because it is very difficult”可见,进入太空成就巨大,其余选项与困难语境不匹配。
14.句意:他们帮助我们学习、感受并畅想未来。
dream about the future“畅想未来”,符合全文励志的行文基调。
15.句意:也许有一天,你能成为他们中的一员。

Do you know the data annotator (数据标注师)? It is a new job because of the development of AI.
Data annotators are like teachers and they help the computer learn. They check pictures, words, or sounds and tell the computer what they are. For example, they might look at a picture of a cat and give a tag (标签) of “cat”. This helps the computer learn to know when it sees cats in other pictures. There are more complex (复杂的) tags. If a patient asks about an illness, an AI’s answers might not be clear. So, medical data annotators add more detailed (详细的) tags to make the answers better.
The needs for different data annotators are not the same. Simple tasks like pointing out all the flowers in a picture do not need highly-educated (高学历的) people. Anyone can finish them after training. For more complex tasks, however, we need higher-educated data annotators. Take the legal (法律的) field for example. AI can tell us laws in a cold way. However, many legal matters are about people’s ideas and feelings. This job needs data annotators with professional (专业的) knowledge to offer more thoughtful answers.
The role of the data annotator started with the needs of AI, and progress (进步) in AI depends a lot on data annotation. As China’s AI grows fast, the need for data annotators will keep growing.
21.What does a data annotator need to do?
A.To see patients.
B.To teach computers by adding tags.
C.To take pictures of cats.
D.To repair computers.
22.What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to (指代)?
A.Simple tasks. B.Complex tasks.
C.Data annotators. D.Highly-educated people.
23.Why does the legal field need higher-educated data annotators?
A.They can train AI in a cold way.
B.They can operate computers better.
C.They can give more thoughtful answers.
D.They can explain rules in a creative way.
24.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.There will be fewer jobs in China.
B.China’s AI will slow down soon.
C.AI won’t need data annotators in the future.
D.AI and data annotators help each other grow.
25.Which of the following best shows the structure (结构) of the text?
A. B.
C. D.
【答案】21.B 22.A 23.C 24.D 25.D
【导语】本文主要介绍了伴随着人工智能(AI)的发展而诞生的一种新兴职业——数据标注师,详细阐述了其具体工作内容、不同级别的任务要求,以及该职业与人工智能相辅相成的共生关系。
【详解】21.根据第二段第一句“Data annotators are like teachers and they help the computer learn.”以及后文“give a tag of 'cat'”可知,数据标注师的角色就像老师,通过给图片、文字或声音等添加标签来帮助和“教授”计算机进行学习。
22.根据第三段“Simple tasks like pointing out all the flowers in a picture…Anyone can finish them after training.”可知,后句中的“them”指代的是前句中提到的主语“Simple tasks”,即简单任务。
23.根据第三段最后一句“This job needs data annotators with professional knowledge to offer more thoughtful answers.”可知,由于法律案件通常涉及人们的思想和情感,法律领域的AI数据标注工作需要具备专业知识的人员,以便为计算机提供更为贴切、深思熟虑的答案。
24.根据第四段“The role of the data annotator started with the needs of AI, and progress in AI depends a lot on data annotation…the need for data annotators will keep growing.”可知,数据标注师的角色因AI的需求而诞生,而AI的进步也极大程度上依赖于数据标注,并且随着AI的快速发展,该职业的需求量也会持续增长。这说明AI和数据标注师之间存在一种互相促进、共同成长的紧密关系。
25.通读全文分析结构可知:第一段(P1)属于总起段,直接引出并定义了新兴职业“数据标注师”;第二、三、四段(P2、P3、P4)属于并列的分述段,分别从“具体工作内容与标注机制”、“不同任务的学历/专业要求差异”以及“与AI互相依存的关系及未来前景”这三个平行的角度对该职业展开详细说明。P1为总,P2、P3、P4为并列的分,这种结构关系图与D项完全一致。

Know yourself well.
It’s true that things well pay are important, but don’t let money lead you in the wrong direction. Firstly, follow your heart and your personality-if you’re not very outgoing, don’t go for a sales job, even if the pay’s good. 32 If you do well in getting along with children, to be a teacher may be a fantastic choice.
33
Generally speaking, people get more satisfaction out of their jobs if they feel they are doing something valuable for others. It doesn’t have to be charity work-it could be a job that helps other people, like a cleaner. Just imagine what our city would be like without cleaners?
Your first decision isn’t forever.
Some lucky people get it right first time-they choose a job, find they love it and stick at it. 34 So remember you’re allowed to change your mind! There’s no need to do let worry you for years: maybe you’ve got three or four possible things you’d like to do, so come to a decision and try one-and if you don’t like it, try another one.

四、阅读回答问题
Passage1
In most places of the world, a five-day work week is common. But in some places, people are starting to pay workers the same money for working just four days a week.
The idea isn’t new but businesses have been slow to try it. They may be worried about getting less work for their money. But the result of a last year’s test shows the change may be good for both businesses and workers.
Last June, 51 UK companies agreed to take part in the four-day work week test. In July, another 10 companies joined, too. They paid their workers the same money and told their workers to try to do as much in four days as they usually did in five. It took six months to do the test, and the result was good for most businesses.
During the test, some companies had fewer meetings, or made sure they were shorter. Others used technology to help workers to finish their work quickly. Some companies created a “focus time” so workers could work on just one thing. So, workers worked faster and better. What’s more, the companies made more money.
Most workers were pleased with the four-day work week. Some people said they could get more training and take care of things at home. Others said they could spend more time with their families.
At the end of the test, ninety-two percent of the companies taking part in the test said they planned to keep the four-day work week.
36.What does the result of the last year’s test show?
37.How many companies agreed to do the test?
38.What does the word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
39.What did most workers think of the four-day work week?
40.What do you think of the four-day work week? Why?
【答案】
36. It shows the change may be good for both businesses and workers.
37.61./Sixty-one.
37. The meetings.
38. They were pleased.
40.Great. Because workers worked faster and better and the companies made more money.(答案合理即可)
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了英国公司进行四天工作周测试的背景、过程、结果以及员工和公司的反馈。
【详解】36.第二段末句明确指出“But the result of a last year’s test shows the change may be good for both businesses and workers.”测试结果显示该变化对双方均有益,答案直接提取该句内容即可。
37.第三段“Last June, 51 UK companies agreed to take part in the four-day work week test. In July, another 10 companies joined, too.”提到参与测试的公司总数为51加10等于61家。故答案为61。
38.第四段第一句“some companies had fewer meetings, or made sure they were shorter”中,“they”指代前文的“meetings”,因此答案是原文的直接信息。
39.文章第五段“Most workers were pleased with the four-day work week.”说明大多数工人对此感到高兴。答案几乎是原文的直接引用。
40.本题为开放性试题,需基于文中事实如企业效率提高、员工有更多家庭时间等发表看法,自圆其说即可。参考答案为Great. Because workers worked faster and better and the companies made more money.

Do you know the data annotator (数据标注师)? It is a new job because of the development of AI.
Data annotators are like teachers and they help the computer learn. They check pictures, words, or sounds and tell the computer what they are. For example, they might look at a picture of a cat and give a tag (标签) of “cat”. This helps the computer learn to know when it sees cats in other pictures. There are more complex (复杂的) tags. If a patient asks about an illness, an AI’s answers might not be clear. So, medical data annotators add more detailed (详细的) tags to make the answers better.
The needs for different data annotators are not the same. Simple tasks like pointing out all the flowers in a picture do not need highly-educated (高学历的) people. Anyone can finish them after training. For more complex tasks, however, we need higher-educated data annotators. Take the legal (法律的) field for example. AI can tell us laws in a cold way. However, many legal matters are about people’s ideas and feelings. This job needs data annotators with professional (专业的) knowledge to offer more thoughtful answers.
The role of the data annotator started with the needs of AI, and progress (进步) in AI depends a lot on data annotation. As China’s AI grows fast, the need for data annotators will keep growing.

Firstly, follow your heart and your personality-if you’re not very outgoing, don’t go for a sales job, even if the pay’s good. 32 If you do well in getting along with children, to be a teacher may be a fantastic choice.

Passage1
In most places of the world, a five-day work week is common. But in some places, people are starting to pay workers the same money for working just four days a week.
The idea isn’t new but businesses have been slow to try it. They may be worried about getting less work for their money. But the result of a last year’s test shows the change may be good for both businesses and workers.
Last June, 51 UK companies agreed to take part in the four-day work week test. In July, another 10 companies joined, too. They paid their workers the same money and told their workers to try to do as much in four days as they usually did in five. It took six months to do the test, and the result was good for most businesses.
During the test, some companies had fewer meetings, or made sure they were shorter. Others used technology to help workers to finish their work quickly. Some companies created a “focus time” so workers could work on just one thing. So, workers worked faster and better. What’s more, the companies made more money.
Most workers were pleased with the four-day work week. Some people said they could get more training and take care of things at home. Others said they could spend more time with their families.
At the end of the test, ninety-two percent of the companies taking part in the test said they planned to keep the four-day work week.

The Chinese cheongsam, or qipao, is a popular dress. It first appeared in Shanghai in the early 20th century. It is now a symbol of Chinese culture. Women around the world wear it.
The cheongsam fits the body’s curves (曲线) well. People usually use silk and cotton to make it. It usually has a high collar (领), short sleeves (袖), and a cut on the side of the skirt. This makes it easy to move.
At first, rich women in Shanghai wore the cheongsam to show their social positions and wealth. Soon, it became popular with all women as everyday clothing. During the 1920s and 1930s, the cheongsam changed. It became better and used more fashionable designs. Nowadays, designers are creating new styles to follow modern fashion.
