How are you? I hope you’re doing great. Last week, we had a science class about water. I learned lots of useful things and want to share them with you! 2. First, water is very important for all living things. It covers about 71% of Earth’s surface—you can find it in oceans, lakes and rivers. Water has three forms: ice (solid), water (liquid) and vapour (gas). Do you know about the water cycle? It makes water move between Earth and the sky. First, liquid water turns into vapour (we call this “evaporation”). Then the vapour goes up and forms clouds. At last, it falls back to Earth as rain or snow. 3. Water also helps us a lot in life. On farms, it helps crops grow. In factories, workers use it to cool machines. Our bodies need water too—our blood is mostly water! If we don’t drink enough water, we’ll feel tired and can’t focus on our lessons. 4. But water resources are in trouble now. Factories put bad chemicals into rivers, and plastic makes water dirty. Droughts (long dry days) also make clean water hard to find. But we can help! We can save water at home, like turning off the tap when brushing teeth. We can also pick up plastic near rivers. 5. Do you learn about water in your class? What do you do to save water? Write back soon! Yours, Li Ming October 20th 1. Ordering (排序题) Li Ming describes the water cycle steps. Put the correct step in the blank to complete the cycle. (choose from A/B). Water cycle: Step 1: Liquid water turns into vapour (evaporation). Step 2: The vapour goes up and forms clouds. Step 3: A It falls back to Earth as rain or snow. B Water turns into ice (solid) in cold places. 2. Matching (匹配题) Match each paragraph (1~4) of the letter with its main idea (A~D) in the box. Write the letter in the blank. Paragraph1: 　　　　　　　　 Paragraph 2: 　　　　　　　　 Paragraph 3: 　　　　　　　　 Paragraph 4: 　　　　　　　　 A. How water helps people’s daily life and our bodies, and what happens if we don’t drink enough. B. Li Ming wants to share what he learned about water in science class. C. The importance of water, its three forms and how the water cycle works. D. Problems of water resources and simple ways to protect water. （三） （25-26八上·上海浦东进才中学·期中）Tech for Youth: Cool Gadgets for Your Study Life! Check out our latest digital products!

Feeling he couldn’t achieve his ambition, he went to a wise elder for help. The wise elder got some water quietly and asked, “What is the shape of the water?” He poured the water into a glass before the young man could answer. The young man answered, “I know water is like a glass.” The wise elder said nothing and poured the water into the vase nearby. The young man realized it: “I know water is like a vase.” The wise elder shook his head, gently lifted the vase in both hands and poured the water into a pot filled with sand. The clear water disappeared into the sand. The wise elder said, “Look, the water died away like this. This is a lifetime.” The young man said happily, “I know you want to tell me that the society is like various containers, so people should be like water. When you are in a certain container, you will become its shape and nothing can change.” “Yes and no,” the wise elder said. He went out of the house, followed by the young man. Under the roof, the wise elder bent over, ran his hand over the worn stone steps for a while, and then stopped. The young man touched the same spot on the step as the wise elder did. He felt a concave (凹面) there. He wondered, “What secret does this hollow hide?” The wise elder explained, “When it rained, water dripped from the roof. Over time, the dripping water made a hollow in the stone below.” The young man got inspired suddenly, “I understand: People might be placed in ordinary containers, but they should be like a little drop of water. They keep trying and can finally wear hard stones, even if it takes time.” The wise elder smiled, “Right. This concave will turn into a hole.” Life is like water, so we must adapt (适应) to the environment and we should try to change the environment to realize our own value. 1. The wise elder directly gave the young man the advice, didn’t he? 2. What did the wise elder compare water to? In Paragraph 5, the wise elder said, “Yes and no.” to the young man’s understanding. 3. He said “Yes” because he agreed that . 4. He said “No” because . 5. After the young man understood the wise elder’s words, he left and returned to his daily life. Please write a short story (about 30 words) to show how he used the wise elder’s lesson to achieve his ambition. （二） （25-26八上·上海松江·期中）One weekend, I went to the butterfly museum with my family.

The raja said to them, “Give me most of your rice, and I will store it. When the time of famine comes, everyone will have rice to eat. ” So each year, the raja took most of the people’s rice and stored it. For many years, the rice grew well. Then one year the rice did not grow, and there was a famine. “Give us rice!” the people begged. “No!” cried the raja. “The famine may last a long time. I must have the rice for myself. A raja must not go hungry!” One day, an elephant was carrying two big baskets of rice to the raja. A village girl named Rani noticed something. A little rice was falling from one of the elephant’s baskets. She walked behind the elephant and caught the falling rice in her skirt. Rani took all the rice to the raja. “This rice fell from one of the elephant’s baskets, and I want to give it back to you,” said Rani. “I wish to give you a reward for returning this rice to my home,” said the raja. “Oh, Raja,” said Rani. “I do not want you to give me any reward. You may give one grain of rice. ” “Only one grain of rice?” cried the raja. “That’s not enough!” “Very well,” said Rani. “Today, you can give me a single grain of rice. Then tomorrow you can double it and give me two grains of rice. The next day, four grains of rice and so on for thirty days. ” “That’s not much of a reward,” said the raja. “But you shall have it. ” And the raja gave Rani a single grain of rice. The next day, Rani got two grains of rice. On the 9th day, Rani got 256 grains of rice. “This girl is not very clever,” thought the raja. “There was more rice in her skirt. Why didn’t she keep it?” On the 16th day, Rani received 32,768 grains of rice. On the 27th day, the raja delivered 64 baskets of rice to Rani. “One grain of rice is turning into a lot,” the raja thought. “But I shall give her the reward, as a raja should. ” On the final day, 256 elephants carried the last of the rice to Rani—536,870,912 grains. “What will you do with this rice?” asked the raja. “I have no more. ” “I will give it to all the hungry people,” said Rani. “And I will leave you a basket. From now on, you’ll only take as much rice as you need. Will you?” “I will,” said the raja. And from then on, the raja was truly good, as a raja should be.

Please go home and wait for our answer. We will tell you the result in three days. Good luck to all of you!” On the third day, Tina received the message from the company telling her that she was not employed. She felt upset. In order to comfort her, I pretended to be relaxed and said, “It does not matter! I believe you will have more opportunities in the future!” Late in the afternoon, Tina suddenly told me excitedly on the phone, “Dad, good news! I’ve made it!” I could not wait to ask her, “What’s the whole matter?” Tina told me that she received a second message saying that she was employed. She was so confused that she made a call to the company. In fact, the message Tina got in the morning was also part of the test of the interview. The three candidates received the same message this morning and only Tina’s reply (回复) was satisfying to the company. “How did all of you reply?” I asked. One did not reply.

Would you know what to do if somebody broke their leg? Tamsen Bell, an eighteen-year-old girl from California in America, can answer yes to all those questions. She joined the Marine Search and Rescue Team when she was only 14 years old—the youngest age you can do this. She spent the hardest time in the team. She had to be trained for 60 hours to learn about first aid, climbing, map reading and rescue methods before she began to help others. But she achieved a lot from her teacher and teammates.

Now she is one of 20 youth volunteers in the rescue team whose motto (座右铭) is “Any time, any place, any weather.” They are often called out in the middle of the night to help people who have got into trouble in the wild countryside of California. So she usually had to stay up and got up early the next morning. When Tamsen was 16 years old, she helped to rescue an old woman who had fallen 50 feet down a steep cliff (陡峭悬崖). The woman broke her neck and couldn’t move. What’s more, it was snowing heavily that afternoon and she had to cover the old lady with her own clothes. She had to stay with the lady for 8 hours until the rescue team arrived. The next day she had to lie in bed because of the bad cold. It’s tough work, but Tamsen thinks it’s worth it.

No matter what I did, I could see those lights. I couldn’t figure out what they were, so I started worrying. I turned away from the window and closed my eyes. But then I had to open them a little bit to see if the lights were still there. Flash-flash, off, flash! I moved to the window and watched. Maybe I could find out what it was.

I nodded. “And do you remember that his house is very far away?” I nodded again. “Well, there was a big storm with lightning near his house. The thunderstorm is very far from us.

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 U.S., 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 skills 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—3题Answer the questions（回答下列问题）；4题Complete the following table according to the article（表中列出了一些难以被人工智能取代的职业以及它们难以被取代的原因，请根据文章内容填充空缺部分）；5题Apart from the above jobs, can you think of one more job that you believe is safe from AI?

When the laboratory was back up and running, Jones, the assistant, did loads of checks on Red 3869. She turned his arms slowly, pressed his buttons, and looked at Red seriously. Finally, she switched Red on and said, “Robot report—what is your name and serial number?” “Good question!” said Red. “Let me scan my database...Rodolfino? No, too fussy. Pete? No. Gertrude...Certainly not! What about Lex?” Jones looked alarmed and quickly switched the robot off again. “Sir, I think you need to come here. The Red 3869 model doesn’t work well.” “What’s the problem?” asked the scientist. “It’s this robot, sir. It... he just talked to me like he was a human.” “Don’t be silly! Did you try to restart it?” he raised his voice. “No, sir.” The scientist then came and switched Red 3869 on, pressed a big red button, and held it down for three seconds. Then he said, “Robot report—what is your name and serial number?” “Ooh, that felt a bit strange,” said Red 3869. “Can you do it again?” The scientist jumped back. Jones smiled and said, “Told you so.” The scientist repeated in a firm voice, “Robot report—what is your name and serial number?” “Well, I think I have chosen Lex,” said Red 3869. “But I have no idea what a serial number is—and I’m certainly not a robot.” “What are you, then?” asked Jones. “I’m like you, silly. What do you call yourself? Let me scan my database again. Huge hands? Nope, humans! That’s it. I’m a human. Like you.” The scientist scratched his head. ___________________________________ Task 1: Answer the questions 1. Red 3869 could work well at the beginning, couldn’t it? 2. How did Jones check Red 3869 when the lab was back up? 3. What name did Red 3869 finally choose for itself? 4. How did Jones feel when she quickly switched the robot off again? 5. Why did the scientist jump back? Task 2: 6. Complete the last paragraph. Write about 30 words. How do you think the scientist and Jones will react to Red 3869’s request?

How are you? I hope you’re doing great. Last week, we had a science class about water. I learned lots of useful things and want to share them with you! 2. First, water is very important for all living things. It covers about 71% of Earth’s surface—you can find it in oceans, lakes and rivers. Water has three forms: ice (solid), water (liquid) and vapour (gas). Do you know about the water cycle? It makes water move between Earth and the sky. First, liquid water turns into vapour (we call this “evaporation”). Then the vapour goes up and forms clouds. At last, it falls back to Earth as rain or snow. 3. Water also helps us a lot in life. On farms, it helps crops grow. In factories, workers use it to cool machines. Our bodies need water too—our blood is mostly water! If we don’t drink enough water, we’ll feel tired and can’t focus on our lessons. 4. But water resources are in trouble now. Factories put bad chemicals into rivers, and plastic makes water dirty. Droughts (long dry days) also make clean water hard to find. But we can help! We can save water at home, like turning off the tap when brushing teeth. We can also pick up plastic near rivers. 5. Do you learn about water in your class? What do you do to save water? Write back soon! Yours, Li Ming October 20th 1. Ordering (排序题) Li Ming describes the water cycle steps. Put the correct step in the blank to complete the cycle. (choose from A/B). Water cycle: Step 1: Liquid water turns into vapour (evaporation). Step 2: The vapour goes up and forms clouds. Step 3: A It falls back to Earth as rain or snow. B Water turns into ice (solid) in cold places. 2. Matching (匹配题) Match each paragraph (1~4) of the letter with its main idea (A~D) in the box. Write the letter in the blank. Paragraph1: 　　　　　　　　 Paragraph 2: 　　　　　　　　 Paragraph 3: 　　　　　　　　 Paragraph 4: 　　　　　　　　 A. How water helps people’s daily life and our bodies, and what happens if we don’t drink enough. B. Li Ming wants to share what he learned about water in science class. C. The importance of water, its three forms and how the water cycle works. D. Problems of water resources and simple ways to protect water. 【答案】1. A 2. ① B ② C ③ A ④ D 【解析】【导语】 本文是李明写给笔友Lucy的一封信，信中分享了他关于水的科学知识学习收获，包括水的重要性、形态、循环过程、用途以及水资源保护等内容。 (1)题解析： 根据“First, liquid water turns into vapour...Then the vapour goes up and forms clouds.

Feeling he couldn’t achieve his ambition, he went to a wise elder for help. The wise elder got some water quietly and asked, “What is the shape of the water?” He poured the water into a glass before the young man could answer. The young man answered, “I know water is like a glass.” The wise elder said nothing and poured the water into the vase nearby. The young man realized it: “I know water is like a vase.” The wise elder shook his head, gently lifted the vase in both hands and poured the water into a pot filled with sand. The clear water disappeared into the sand. The wise elder said, “Look, the water died away like this. This is a lifetime.” The young man said happily, “I know you want to tell me that the society is like various containers, so people should be like water. When you are in a certain container, you will become its shape and nothing can change.” “Yes and no,” the wise elder said. He went out of the house, followed by the young man. Under the roof, the wise elder bent over, ran his hand over the worn stone steps for a while, and then stopped. The young man touched the same spot on the step as the wise elder did. He felt a concave (凹面) there. He wondered, “What secret does this hollow hide?” The wise elder explained, “When it rained, water dripped from the roof. Over time, the dripping water made a hollow in the stone below.” The young man got inspired suddenly, “I understand: People might be placed in ordinary containers, but they should be like a little drop of water. They keep trying and can finally wear hard stones, even if it takes time.” The wise elder smiled, “Right. This concave will turn into a hole.” Life is like water, so we must adapt (适应) to the environment and we should try to change the environment to realize our own value. 1. The wise elder directly gave the young man the advice, didn’t he? 2. What did the wise elder compare water to? In Paragraph 5, the wise elder said, “Yes and no.” to the young man’s understanding. 3. He said “Yes” because he agreed that . 4. He said “No” because . 5. After the young man understood the wise elder’s words, he left and returned to his daily life. Please write a short story (about 30 words) to show how he used the wise elder’s lesson to achieve his ambition. 【答案】1. No, he didn’t. 2. He compared water to a lifetime. 3. people should be like water and adapt to the environment 4. he also believed people should try to change the environment 5. He did small jobs carefully every day, kept learning skills, and finally impressed his boss and achieved his ambition. 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一个年轻人因老板只给他小而不重要的工作而感到沮丧，于是向一位智者寻求帮助。智者通过水的不同形态和石头上的凹面，教导年轻人要适应环境并努力改变环境以实现自身价值。 (1)题解析： 根据文章内容，智者并没有直接给年轻人建议，而是通过一系列的实验和比喻来引导年轻人自己领悟道理。故填No, he didn’t. (2)题解析： 根据第三段智者说的“Look, the water died away like this. This is a lifetime.”，以及后文用水滴石穿的道理比喻人要坚持努力，可知智者将水比作了人的一生。故填He compared water to a lifetime. (3)题解析： 根据第五段年轻人的理解“the society is like various containers, so people should be like water. When you are in a certain container, you will become its shape”，智者说“Yes”是因为认同年轻人所说的人要像水一样适应所处的环境。故填people should be like water and adapt to the environment。 (4)题解析： 根据后文智者引导年轻人观察水滴石穿的凹面，以及最后一段的道理 “we must adapt to the environment and we should try to change the environment”，智者说 “No” 是因为年轻人只理解了 “适应环境”，却没意识到人应该像水滴一样坚持努力，进而改变环境。故填he also believed people should try to change the environment。 (5)题解析： 本题为开放性试题，答案不唯一，合理即可。故事需要围绕 “踏实做好小事 + 坚持努力 + 实现抱负” 的核心，控制在 30 词左右，符合智者传递的道理即可。参考答案为He did small jobs carefully every day, kept learning skills, and finally impressed his boss and achieved his ambition. （二） （25-26八上·上海松江·期中）One weekend, I went to the butterfly museum with my family.

The raja said to them, “Give me most of your rice, and I will store it. When the time of famine comes, everyone will have rice to eat. ” So each year, the raja took most of the people’s rice and stored it. For many years, the rice grew well. Then one year the rice did not grow, and there was a famine. “Give us rice!” the people begged. “No!” cried the raja. “The famine may last a long time. I must have the rice for myself. A raja must not go hungry!” One day, an elephant was carrying two big baskets of rice to the raja. A village girl named Rani noticed something. A little rice was falling from one of the elephant’s baskets. She walked behind the elephant and caught the falling rice in her skirt. Rani took all the rice to the raja. “This rice fell from one of the elephant’s baskets, and I want to give it back to you,” said Rani. “I wish to give you a reward for returning this rice to my home,” said the raja. “Oh, Raja,” said Rani. “I do not want you to give me any reward. You may give one grain of rice. ” “Only one grain of rice?” cried the raja. “That’s not enough!” “Very well,” said Rani. “Today, you can give me a single grain of rice. Then tomorrow you can double it and give me two grains of rice. The next day, four grains of rice and so on for thirty days. ” “That’s not much of a reward,” said the raja. “But you shall have it. ” And the raja gave Rani a single grain of rice. The next day, Rani got two grains of rice. On the 9th day, Rani got 256 grains of rice. “This girl is not very clever,” thought the raja. “There was more rice in her skirt. Why didn’t she keep it?” On the 16th day, Rani received 32,768 grains of rice. On the 27th day, the raja delivered 64 baskets of rice to Rani. “One grain of rice is turning into a lot,” the raja thought. “But I shall give her the reward, as a raja should. ” On the final day, 256 elephants carried the last of the rice to Rani—536,870,912 grains. “What will you do with this rice?” asked the raja. “I have no more. ” “I will give it to all the hungry people,” said Rani. “And I will leave you a basket. From now on, you’ll only take as much rice as you need. Will you?” “I will,” said the raja. And from then on, the raja was truly good, as a raja should be.

When the time of famine comes, everyone will have rice to eat.”可知，王公收集农民们的稻米，答应当饥荒来临时，每个人都会有饭吃，promise“许诺”符合句意，根据前半句时态为一般过去时，因此promise用过去式promised。故填promised。 (2)题解析： 根据“So each year, the raja took most of the people’s rice and stored it.”可知，农民们相信了王公的话，将稻米交给他。空处填动词trust“信任”的过去式trusted。故填trusted。 (3)题解析： 根据“‘No!’ cried the raja. ‘The famine may last a long time. I must have the rice for myself.’”可知，当饥荒来临时，王公拒绝分享储存的稻米，refuse to do sth“拒绝做某事”，时态用一般过去时。故填refused。 (4)题解析： 根据“‘I wish to give you a reward for returning this rice to my home,’ said the raja.”可知，王公因为Rani的诚实而奖励她。reward“奖励”，可数名词，空前是不定冠词 a，空处填名词单数。故填reward。 (5)题解析： 根据“The next day, four grains of rice and so on for thirty days”可知，Rani要求每天稻米数量翻倍，持续30天。故填30/thirty。 (6)题解析： 根据“‘One grain of rice is turning into a lot,’ the raja thought.”以及最后一段国王同意只取所需可知，王公意识到了自己的错误。realize/realise“意识到”，时态是一般过去时，动词用过去式。故填realized/realised。 (7)题解析： 根据“Rani shared the rice with all the hungry people and the raja. The raja agreed that he would only take what he needed in the future.”可知，Rani将稻米分给饥饿的人们，王公承诺以后只取所需，这是故事结尾内容，因此标题是ending“结尾”，首字母大写。故填Ending。 (8)题解析： 根据“From now on, you’ll only take as much rice as you need. Will you?”和“‘I will,’ said the raja.”可知，王公答应以后只取所需，因此如果再次发生饥荒，他会与人们分享稻米。故填He will give most of his food to all the hungry people./ He will share his rice with the hungry people. (9)题解析： 根据“‘I will,’ said the raja. And from then on, the raja was truly good, as a raja should be.”可知，这句话说明了王公确实做到了与人们分享稻米。故填And from then on, the raja was truly good, as a raja should be. (10)题解析： 根据文章内容可知，本文讲述了Rani通过聪明的方式让贪婪的王公意识到自己的错误，并承诺未来会做一个好王公，只拿走自己需要的大米，由此可以学到“不要贪婪，要懂得分享”。故填Don’t be greedy and learn to share. （四） （25-26八上·上海杨浦·期中）根据短文内容回答下列问题。 My daughter, Tina, began to look for a job several months before she graduated from university. “Because of different reasons, nowadays it is more difficult to get into a company than to take the college entrance exam.” I told her, “You shouldn’t have too much hope or you would feel really disappointed.” Tina applied for a position in a company in the city center.

Good luck to all of you!” On the third day, Tina received the message from the company telling her that she was not employed. She felt upset. In order to comfort her, I pretended to be relaxed and said, “It does not matter! I believe you will have more opportunities in the future!” Late in the afternoon, Tina suddenly told me excitedly on the phone, “Dad, good news! I’ve made it!” I could not wait to ask her, “What’s the whole matter?” Tina told me that she received a second message saying that she was employed. She was so confused that she made a call to the company. In fact, the message Tina got in the morning was also part of the test of the interview.

I’ll wait for your further notice.（答案不唯一） （五） （25-26八上·上海徐汇·期中）Do you have the courage to climb mountains? Do you have a clear head to stay calm in an emergency (危急)? Would you know what to do if somebody broke their leg? Tamsen Bell, an eighteen-year-old girl from California in America, can answer yes to all those questions. She joined the Marine Search and Rescue Team when she was only 14 years old—the youngest age you can do this. She spent the hardest time in the team. She had to be trained for 60 hours to learn about first aid, climbing, map reading and rescue methods before she began to help others. But she achieved a lot from her teacher and teammates. The training gave her the confidence to do the job. Now she is one of 20 youth volunteers in the rescue team whose motto (座右铭) is “Any time, any place, any weather.” They are often called out in the middle of the night to help people who have got into trouble in the wild countryside of California. So she usually had to stay up and got up early the next morning. When Tamsen was 16 years old, she helped to rescue an old woman who had fallen 50 feet down a steep cliff (陡峭悬崖). The woman broke her neck and couldn’t move. What’s more, it was snowing heavily that afternoon and she had to cover the old lady with her own clothes. She had to stay with the lady for 8 hours until the rescue team arrived. The next day she had to lie in bed because of the bad cold. It’s tough work, but Tamsen thinks it’s worth it.

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 U.S., 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 skills 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—3题Answer the questions（回答下列问题）；4题Complete the following table according to the article（表中列出了一些难以被人工智能取代的职业以及它们难以被取代的原因，请根据文章内容填充空缺部分）；5题Apart from the above jobs, can you think of one more job that you believe is safe from AI? Explain within two sentences（除了上表中列出的职业外，你认为还有什么职业难以被人工智能取代?请列出1个，并简要说明理由） 1. Office workers are safe from AI because they often require a good education, aren’t they? 2. How much of people’s work could AI do, according to the report from Goldman Sachs? 3. What is the best way to keep your job safe from AI, according to the article? 4. 下表列出了一些难以被人工智能取代的职业以及它们难以被取代的原因，请根据文章内容填充空缺部分。 Three Types of Jobs Safe From AI Types of jobs Examples Reasons 　　　　　　　　 jobs Scientists, doctors, 　　　　　　　　 It remains hard for AI to 　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　 jobs Nurses, reporters It takes a long time for AI to 　　　　　　　　 Movement & hand skill jobs 　　　　　　　　, plumbers (水管工) These jobs deal with new problems every day. 5. 除了上表中列出的职业外，你认为还有什么职业难以被人工智能取代?请列出1个，并简要说明理由） I think are safe from AI. Reason(s): 【答案】1. No, they aren’t. 2. 25 percent. 3. To look for work that changes often and has tasks that are hard for machines to perform. 4. ① Creative ② lawyers ③ create new plans##create new solutions##come up with new ideas ④ People-centered ⑤ form an in-depth understanding of people ⑥ Electricians##Repair workers 5. ① teachers ② AI can assist with learning, but teachers provide personal guidance, emotional support, and adapt lessons to individual students, which machines can’t do very well yet. (Answers may vary.) 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了随着人工智能的发展，哪些工作可能被取代，哪些工作难以被取代。文章先指出人工智能可能会取代大量人类工作，接着通过专家观点说明人工智能并非无所不能，然后详细介绍了三类难以被人工智能取代的工作及其原因，最后给出保持工作不被人工智能取代的建议。 (1)题解析： 根据文章最后一段“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.’”可知，办公室职员并不因为通常需要良好的教育就安全，他们面临更多被人工智能取代的风险。故填No, they aren’t. (2)题解析： 根据文章第二段“A 2023 report from Goldman Sachs said that AI could perform 25 percent of the work that humans do today.”可知，根据高盛的报告，人工智能可以完成人类目前25%的工作。故填25 percent. (3)题解析： 根据文章最后一段“To keep your job safe from AI, look for work that changes often and has tasks that are hard for machines to perform.”可知，根据文章，保持工作不被人工智能取代的最好方法是寻找经常变化且机器难以完成的任务的工作。故填To look for work that changes often and has tasks that are hard for machines to perform. (4)题解析： ①：根据文章第四段“The first type is creative jobs. These are jobs where people come up with new ideas or create things.”可知，第一类难以被人工智能取代的工作是创造性工作。故填Creative。 ②：根据文章第四段“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.”可知，科学家、医生和律师属于创造性工作。故填lawyers。 ③：根据文章第四段“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.”可知，人工智能很难创造新的计划或解决方案。故填create new plans/solutions或come up with new ideas。 ④：根据文章第五段“The second type is jobs that need close relationships with people, like nurses and reporters.”可知，第二类难以被人工智能取代的工作是以人为中心的工作。故填People-centered。 ⑤：根据文章第五段“Ford says, ‘These jobs need an in-depth understanding of people AI will take a long time to do that.’”可知，人工智能需要很长时间才能形成对人的深入理解。故填form an in-depth understanding of people。 ⑥：根据文章第六段“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.’”可知，电工或维修工属于运动和手艺类工作。故填Electricians/Repair workers。 (5)题解析： 主观发挥题。除了上表中列出的职业外，我认为教师难以被人工智能取代。理由是人工智能可以辅助学习，但教师提供个人指导、情感支持，并能根据学生的个体情况调整课程，这是机器目前还难以很好做到的。答案不唯一，合理即可。故填①teachers；②AI can assist with learning, but teachers provide personal guidance, emotional support, and adapt lessons to individual students, which machines can’t do very well yet.

When the laboratory was back up and running, Jones, the assistant, did loads of checks on Red 3869. She turned his arms slowly, pressed his buttons, and looked at Red seriously. Finally, she switched Red on and said, “Robot report—what is your name and serial number?” “Good question!” said Red. “Let me scan my database...Rodolfino? No, too fussy. Pete? No. Gertrude...Certainly not! What about Lex?” Jones looked alarmed and quickly switched the robot off again. “Sir, I think you need to come here. The Red 3869 model doesn’t work well.” “What’s the problem?” asked the scientist. “It’s this robot, sir. It... he just talked to me like he was a human.” “Don’t be silly! Did you try to restart it?” he raised his voice. “No, sir.” The scientist then came and switched Red 3869 on, pressed a big red button, and held it down for three seconds. Then he said, “Robot report—what is your name and serial number?” “Ooh, that felt a bit strange,” said Red 3869. “Can you do it again?” The scientist jumped back. Jones smiled and said, “Told you so.” The scientist repeated in a firm voice, “Robot report—what is your name and serial number?” “Well, I think I have chosen Lex,” said Red 3869. “But I have no idea what a serial number is—and I’m certainly not a robot.” “What are you, then?” asked Jones. “I’m like you, silly. What do you call yourself? Let me scan my database again. Huge hands? Nope, humans! That’s it. I’m a human. Like you.” The scientist scratched his head. ___________________________________ Task 1: Answer the questions 1. Red 3869 could work well at the beginning, couldn’t it? 2. How did Jones check Red 3869 when the lab was back up? 3. What name did Red 3869 finally choose for itself? 4. How did Jones feel when she quickly switched the robot off again? 5. Why did the scientist jump back? Task 2: 6. Complete the last paragraph. Write about 30 words. How do you think the scientist and Jones will react to Red 3869’s request? Will they allow it to learn, or will they try to shut it down again? Your writing should include: —the feeling and reaction (反应) of the scientist and Jones —the scientist and Jones’s decision to allow it to learn or shut it down again. 【答案】1. No, it couldn’t. 2. She turned his arms slowly, pressed his buttons, and looked at Red seriously. 3. Lex. 4. She felt alarmed. 5. Because Red 3869 said it felt a bit strange and asked him to do it again. 6. The scientist and Jones, shocked and confused, agreed after in-depth discussion to let Red 3869 keep learning to uncover the root of its abnormal behavior. 【解析】【导语】 本文主要讲述了最新机器人Red 3869在生产线上遭遇停电后出现故障，助手Jones对其进行检查，之后科学家也参与进来，而Red 3869表现出像人类一样交流，还坚称自己是人类，最后科学家挠头，文章留下悬念。 (1)题解析： 根据原文“When Red 3869, the latest robot, was on the production line, there was a power cut.
