III. Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题)
For a long time, machines have been replacing human jobs. Now, as AI (artificial intelligence) grows stronger, it may take even more jobs.
A 2023 report from Goldman Sachs said that AI could perform 25 percent of the work that humans do today. In places like Europe and the US., about 300 million jobs could be lost to machines. Martin Ford, author of Rule of the Robots, warns that this could affect both workers and businesses.
But experts say AI can' t do everything. Jobs that need human skills, like understanding feelings or being creative, are safer. People with these skill are less likely to lose their jobs.
Ford believes there are three types of jobs that AI cannot easily replace. The first type is creative jobs. These are jobs where people come up with new ideas or create things. Simple jobs, like basic design, may be replaced, but jobs in science, medicine and law still need humans to solve problems and create new plans.
The second type is jobs that need close relationships with people, like nurses and reporters. Ford says, "These jobs need an in-depth understanding of people. AI will take a long time to do that.”
The third type is jobs that need movement, hand skills, and solving problems in changing situations. Jobs like fixing electricity or water pipes are in this group. Ford says, "These jobs are hard to replace because they deal with new problems every day.”
Ford also says that having a good education or high salary doesn' t mean you are safe from AI. For example, “An office worker may seem more important than a bus driver, but the office worker is at more risk. AI can already write reports, but we don't have self-driving buses yet.” To keep your job safe from AI, look for work that changes often and has tasks that are hard for machines to perform.
1.How much of people' s work could AI do, according to the report from Goldman Sachs?
2.Which fields are mentioned as having creative jobs that AI cannot easily replace?
3.Why can’t AI easily take the place of people-centered jobs?
4.Office workers are safe from AI because they often require a good education, aren't they?
5.What is the best way to keep your job safe from AI, according to the article?
6.Can you think of one more job that you believe is safe from AI? Explain within two sentences.

At first, Yvonne started her travels because she was curious. But the trips 10 (quick) became more than just visiting new places. She has found friendship, culture, and creativity. For her, the visa-free policy opened a door—and she’s excited to keep walking through it.
【答案】1.flew 2.to travel 3.as 4.discovery 5.places 6.who 7.a 8.are watched 9.more exciting 10.quickly
【导语】本文讲述了韩国游客Yvonne如何受益于中国对韩免签政策,频繁来华旅行探索不同城市,结交中国朋友学习美妆,并在抖音分享见闻的经历。最初出于好奇的旅行逐渐转变为文化发现和创意表达之旅,免签政策为她打开了了解中国的大门。
1.句意:她在政策实施几天后就飞往上海。根据时间状语“just days after the policy began”可知用一般过去时,谓语动词用过去时,故填flew。
2.句意:这项政策使她能够更频繁地旅行并且探索国家的不同地方。allow sb to do sth是固定搭配,意为“允许某人做某事”,故空处需动词不定式。故填to travel。
3.句意:Yvonne把中国视为充满奇迹和新的经历的地方。see…as…“把……看作……”是固定短语,故填as。
4.句意:这是一次持续的发现之旅。根据“it’s an ongoing journey of...”可知,介词of后跟名词“发现”,需英文为discovery,故填discovery。
5.句意:每个地方都有特别之处,无论是食物、传统还是历史场所。此处需名词复数来表示多个地点,place“地方”的复数形式为places。故填places。

8.句意:她通过自己的视频分享旅行小贴士、化妆流程以及文化发现,她的视频每周被数千用户观看。本句为定语从句,her videos与动词watch之间为被动关系,根据“shares”,需一般现在时的被动语态,其结构为be done,her videos为名词复数,be动词用are。故填are watched。
9.句意:这些新爱好使她的旅行更加刺激有意义。根据“These new hobbies have made her trips even... (exciting) and meaningful.”可知,even后可修饰比较级,exciting“令人兴奋的”的比较级为more exciting。故填more exciting。
10.句意:但旅行很快就不仅仅是参观新地方了。修饰动词became用副词形式,形容词quick“快的”副词形式为quickly。故填quickly。

【答案】1-5CBCBA 6-10BCACB
【解析】
1.句意:在武汉,手捧鲜花的民众排队来到中船719研究所主楼吊唁黄旭华。考点:现在分词作后置定语。people和carry是主动关系,用现在分词carrying修饰people,表示“拿着花的人”;A原形、B过去式不能作后置定语。
2.句意:1945年,他考入上海交通大学学习造船,希望用所学知识保卫祖国。考点:不定式作目的状语。
to do结构用来表达入学的目的是学习造船;A原形、C动名词无表目的用法。
3.句意:1949年毕业后,黄旭华投身国家造船事业。考点:介词后接动名词。after是介词,介词后面动词必须变为doing形式,所以用graduating。
4.句意:项目高度保密,黄旭华三十年没能探望母亲。考点:数词修饰可数名词。thirty(三十)后接可数名词复数years;years-old只能放在名词前作定语(a thirty-year-old man),不能单独使用。
5.句意:等他八十年代末终于回家看望母亲时,母亲已经九十多岁了。考点:固定搭配in one’s+整十数复数。in her 90s固定表达“在她九十多岁”;hers是名词性物主代词,后面不能加数字;she是主格,无法修饰90s。
6.句意:我认为忠于国家是对父母最大的孝心。考点:介词to表对象。filial piety to sb固定搭配,“对某人的孝心”,对象介词用to。
7.句意:一生勤恳,他斩获众多荣誉,包括全国道德模范、共和国勋章、国家最高科学技术奖。考点:介词including用法。including是介词,后面直接罗列列举的事物;A、B都是动词,不能直接连接奖项名称。
8.句意:1994年,他当选中国工程院院士。考点:时间介词辨析。年份、月份前用in;具体日期用on;具体几点用at。
9.句意:尽管有些媒体称他为“中国核潜艇之父”,黄旭华拒绝了这个称号。考点:一般现在时,集合名词作复数.。media表示多家媒体,视作复数,全文为一般现在时,谓语动词用原形call。
10.句意:中国核潜艇是集体奋斗的成果,我只是尽了自己的本分。考点:形容词性物主代词。my是形容词性物主代词,修饰名词duty;me宾格不能修饰名词;mine名词性物主代词后面不加名词。
III. Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题)
For a long time, machines have been replacing human jobs. Now, as AI (artificial intelligence) grows stronger, it may take even more jobs.
A 2023 report from Goldman Sachs said that AI could perform 25 percent of the work that humans do today. In places like Europe and the US., about 300 million jobs could be lost to machines. Martin Ford, author of Rule of the Robots, warns that this could affect both workers and businesses.
But experts say AI can' t do everything. Jobs that need human skills, like understanding feelings or being creative, are safer. People with these skill are less likely to lose their jobs.
Ford believes there are three types of jobs that AI cannot easily replace. The first type is creative jobs. These are jobs where people come up with new ideas or create things. Simple jobs, like basic design, may be replaced, but jobs in science, medicine and law still need humans to solve problems and create new plans.
The second type is jobs that need close relationships with people, like nurses and reporters. Ford says, "These jobs need an in-depth understanding of people. AI will take a long time to do that.”
The third type is jobs that need movement, hand skills, and solving problems in changing situations. Jobs like fixing electricity or water pipes are in this group. Ford says, "These jobs are hard to replace because they deal with new problems every day.”
Ford also says that having a good education or high salary doesn' t mean you are safe from AI. For example, “An office worker may seem more important than a bus driver, but the office worker is at more risk. AI can already write reports, but we don't have self-driving buses yet.” To keep your job safe from AI, look for work that changes often and has tasks that are hard for machines to perform.
1.How much of people' s work could AI do, according to the report from Goldman Sachs?
2.Which fields are mentioned as having creative jobs that AI cannot easily replace?
3.Why can’t AI easily take the place of people-centered jobs?
4.Office workers are safe from AI because they often require a good education, aren't they?
5.What is the best way to keep your job safe from AI, according to the article?
6.Can you think of one more job that you believe is safe from AI? Explain within two sentences.
【答案】1.25 percent.
2.Science, medicine and law
3.Because it takes a long time for AI to form an in-depth understanding of people.
4.No, they aren’t.
5.To look for work that changes often and has tasks that are hard for machines to perform.
6.I think teachers are safer from AI. AI can assist with learning, but teachers provide personal support, and adapt lessons to individual students, which machines can’t do. (Answers may vary.)
【解析】原文核心:AI可完成25%人类工作;三类难被替代岗位:创意类、人际深度沟通类、现场动手应变类;高学历不代表安全,多变、机器难完成的工作更稳定。
1.题干:How much of people's work could AI do, according to the report from Goldman Sachs?
句意:根据高盛2023报告,AI可以完成人类当下25%的工作。
考点:细节提取数字信息。原文A 2023 report from Goldman Sachs said that AI could perform 25 percent of the work that humans do today,直接提取数字作答。
2.题干:Which fields are mentioned as having creative jobs that AI cannot easily replace?
句意:文中提到哪些创意类岗位领域难以被AI替代?
考点:细节定位列举信息。原文Simple jobs may be replaced, but jobs in science, medicine and law still need humans to solve problems and create new plans,直接摘抄领域名词。
3. 题干:Why can’t AI easily take the place of people-centered jobs?
句意:为什么AI难以取代需要深度人际沟通的工作?
考点:因果细节改写。原文These jobs need an in-depth understanding of people. AI will take a long time to do that,合并两句改写为原因状语从句。
4. 题干:Office workers are safe from AI because they often require a good education, aren't they?
句意:办公室职员因为高学历就不会被AI取代,对吗?
考点:反义疑问句+细节正误判断。原文Ford also says that having a good education or high salary doesn' t mean you are safe from AI. An office worker is at more risk,否定陈述,用No作答。
5.题干:What is the best way to keep your job safe from AI, according to the article?
句意:根据文章,如何避免工作被AI替代?
考点:主旨细节提取建议句。原文尾段To keep your job safe from AI, look for work that changes often and has tasks that are hard for machines to perform,原句直接摘抄。
6.题干:举一个不会被AI替代的职业,两句以内解释(开放式)
考点:开放性主观表达,贴合文章三类安全岗位(人际/创意/应变)。教师属于深度人际沟通岗位,需要情感关怀、个性化教学,AI无法实现,符合原文论点。
