一阅读理解
(2026·广东一模)In recent years, many tech leaders have warned that artificial intelligence (AI) could take over human jobs. Some even predicted that whole types of work might disappear, especially white⁃collar jobs done in offices. Recently, several big companies have cut tens of thousands of office jobs, leading many to ask: is AI really causing widespread job losses?
In America, nearly a million job cuts have been announced this year. Hiring has slowed, and more people are out of work for over six months. Young college graduates seem particularly affected — their unemployment rate has risen noticeably since 2023. Some studies support the idea that AI is hurting young workers. For example, in jobs most exposed to AI, like software development, employment for workers aged 22⁃25 has fallen compared to older colleagues. Research using job⁃posting data also shows that companies investing in AI tend to hire fewer junior staff.
However, other studies tell a different story. One think⁃tank (智库) found that unemployment among workers in the most AI⁃exposed jobs rose only slightly. Researchers examining changes since ChatGPTs launch see no clear sign that AI has reshaped Americas job market. Many experts doubt that recent job cuts were truly driven by AI. Instead, they may just reflect normal business adjustments.
What else could explain the job losses? One likely reason is the “post⁃pandemic hangover.” During the pandemic, certain sectors like information services and professional business services grew very fast. Now they are cooling down, returning to more normal levels. Even software development, highly exposed to AI, followed a similar boom⁃and⁃bust pattern: job openings rose sharply after the pandemic, then fell. As one analyst put it, many companies simply “over⁃hired” during the boom and are now correcting that.
Another factor is the economic cycle. When ChatGPT was released, Americas job market was extremely tight. Since then, conditions have eased.Historically, young workers unemployment rises faster than the overall rate when the economy slows.
Still, young graduates face deeper challenges. AI may not yet be taking their jobs, but when the economy eventually improves, there could be fewer opportunities left for them.
1. What has happened to young college graduates in the job market recently?
A.Their hiring rate has reached a record high.
B.Their unemployment rate has increased.
C.They are getting higher wages than before.
D.They are moving to blue⁃collar jobs.
2. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to some studies?
A.AI has clearly changed Americas job⁃market structure.
B.Companies investing in AI hire more junior staff.
C.Young workers in AI⁃exposed jobs lost more jobs than older ones.
D.Unemployment rose most in jobs least exposed to AI.
3. What does the phrase “post⁃pandemic hangover” in Paragraph 4 most likely refer to?
A.People feeling tired after the pandemic.
B.A sudden drop in public health standards due to the pandemic.
C.The economic slowdown after a period of rapid growth.
D.Companies refusing to return to office work.
4. What is the authors attitude toward the idea that “AI is replacing all jobs”?
A.Strongly supportive. B.Completely indifferent.
C.Emotionally opposed. D.Doubtful but cautious.

The once⁃futuristic idea of sequencing every newborn childs DNA to screen for genes that could shape their future health is being put to two major tests. The United Kingdom this week announced plans to sequence the genomes (基因组) of 100,000 newborns for about 200 rare genetic diseases starting next year. In New York City, a similar project 1. (screen) 100, 000 babies.
The goal is to catch treatable diseases that standard newborn screening cannot detect. 2. sequencing delivers an early warning of a problem, the baby could receive care that prevents permanent disability or even death.
But sequencing the full genomes of new⁃borns raises a host of ethical questions, including 3. will get access to the data, and whether 4. will needlessly worry parents by revealing genes that may never cause serious illness. “Were really aware of the 5. (complex) of the questions, ” says Richard Scott, chief medical officer for Genomics England, the government⁃funded company 6. (run) the UK project. At the same time, he says, “There is a really pressing need to detect more childhood diseases. ”
In many countries, 7. drop of blood from every newborns heel is screened, using mostly biochemical 8. (test), for up to several dozen genetic diseases. They range from metabolic disorders 9. can be treated with a special diet to muscle diseases that have drug treatments. Whole⁃genome sequencing, which is much 10. (costly)⁃up to $1,000, could detect many more disorders, such as thyroid conditions that can cause brain damage.

【语篇解读】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了在英国和美国宣布了一个对新生儿的DNA进行测序的计划,该计划旨在通过基因测试筛选可能影响他们未来健康的基因。但是很多人对此产生了质疑,觉得该测序会引发一系列伦理问题。
1.will screen 考查时态。根据“The United Kingdom this week announced plans to sequence the genomes of 100, 000 newborns for about 200 rare genetic diseases starting next year”可知,在纽约,一个相似的项目将筛选10万名婴儿,句子为一般将来时。故填will screen。
2.Because 考查原因状语从句。根据语境可知,因为基因测序能够对于问题进行早期预警,所以婴儿可以得到更早更好的护理。前后为因果关系,空处引导原因状语从句。故填Because。

6.running 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语动词,所以空处为非谓语动词作定语,和修饰的名词之间为主动关系,所以用现在分词。故填running。
7.the 考查冠词。分析句子结构可知,空处用定冠词the,特指新生儿的足跟血。
8.tests 考查可数名词的复数。根据句意可知,这些检测大多数是生化检测,所以空处需要名词的复数形式。故填tests。
9.which/that考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词disorders。先行词指物,在定语从句中作主语,用关系代词which或that引导。
10.costlier/more costly 考查形容词比较级。根据空前的much和句意可知,空处需要形容词的比较级,表示全基因检测的费用更高。故填costlier或more costly。
