(一)
In 2020, there were 727 million people aged 65 or above, which is expected to more than double by 2050. The silver-haired population represents a massive opportunity for nearly every industry where companies can build a new market for their products and services while creating social value.
The main consumption patterns of elderly population can be classified into two categories: health-related consumption and daily consumption. When it comes to health consumption, seniors are not only concerned about healthcare but also increasingly emphasize disease prevention. In relation to this, preventive health services, such as physical examinations, will have significant room for growth. Evidently, regular physical examinations require a certain amount of time, economic costs and medical support. Therefore, the high-income population in big cities can sustain them for a longer period of time due to their subjective willingness and objective conditions.
Another key section of the elderly market is represented by the application of medical devices and technology tailored for seniors. One notable area of development is the adoption of remote monitoring systems. These systems make use of cutting-edge technology to enable healthcare professionals to remotely monitor the vital signs and health status of elderly individuals, providing real-time feedback and intervention when necessary. This not only ensures immediate medical attention but also allows older adults to maintain their independence and age comfortably in their own homes.
Acknowledging the importance of social engagement and mental stimulation in enhancing the well-being of seniors, the entertainment industry has emerged as a key component as well. It is centered around offering diverse activities and entertainment options, such as organized tours, social clubs, arts and crafts workshops and music and dance performances, which are meant for the unique preferences and needs of older individuals. They offer a platform for them to connect, share experiences and engage, creating a supportive environment where seniors can enrich life experiences and apply their different talents.
The aging population is one of the most important trends in the world, and it’s indeed a powerful force not just socially but economically.

New technologies tend to cause a cycle of concern, disorder, and conflict before eventually being accepted. Recent writings about artificial intelligence (AI) and other advances in computer science suggest that we are preparing to welcome the final stage of this latest round of invention.
The Last Human Job, sociologist Allison Pugh’s new book centered on caregiving and human connection in the age of automation, warns readers against unreserved acceptance of these technological advances, citing “connective labor” as valuable human work that will not be easily replaced by algorithms (算法). “Absent from discussions about AI and automation,” Pugh argues, “is the impact that these systems might have on the emotional understandings we build of ourselves and others.”
Pugh sets the stage by arguing for the value of human connection and the importance of both seeing and being seen by others. “Practitioners (从业者) said they gained a sense of purpose simply from the opportunity of observing people at their most defenseless,” she observes. She then provides a summary of how care work is being increasingly automated, showing how quantification and measurement have taken over many aspects of human-facing jobs, leaving little room for doctors, teachers, and others to build connection.
“When one goes to a doctor or a teacher, the encounter is full of the potential for shame, a risk that makes it all the more powerful when practitioners show empathic (同理心的) reflection,” writes Pugh. In chapter 8, she explains how such interactions can be done right. Research conducted by herself and others identifies three key aspects supporting connective labor: “relational design”, or how people are set up to interact with one another; “connective culture,” or shared practices and beliefs that influence how people interact; and “resource distribution,” which includes time given for interaction, worker-to-client rates, and the extent of technology and data use, among other factors.
Pugh concludes by arguing that we need a social movement for connection. “We need to fight for what we might call our ‘social health’,” she maintains.
5. What is the main concern of Allison Pugh’s new book?
A. The impact of AI on future employment. B. The approach to living and working with AI.
C. The increasing role of technology in caregiving. D. The value of connective labor in the age of automation.
6. Why does the author mention “practitioners” in paragraph 3?
A. To explain how to do care work. B. To argue against the automation technology.
C. To prove the significance of human connection. D. To discuss the challenges of privacy in caregiving.
7. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The encounter. B. The shame. C. The risk. D. The potential.
8. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The overview of chapter 8. B. The effective way to interact.
C. The new trend of caregiving. D. The factors of avoiding shame.

1.推理判断题。根据文章第一段“In 2020, there were 727 million people aged 65 or above, which is expected to more than double by 2050. The silver-haired population represent a massive opportunity for nearly every industry where companies can build a new market for their products and services while creating social value. (2020年,65岁及以上人口为7.27亿,预计到2050年将翻一番多。银发人口为几乎所有行业提供了巨大的机会,在这些行业中,公司可以为其产品和服务建立新市场,同时创造社会价值。)”和第二段“The main consumption patterns of elderly population can be classified into two categories (老年人口的主要消费模式可分为两类)”可知,第一段的目的是引出一个话题,即银发族群对市场的作用。故选A项。
2.推理判断题。根据文章第二段“In relation to this, preventive health services, such as physical examinations, will have significant room for growth. Evidently, regular physical examinations require a certain amount of time, economic costs and medical support. Therefore, the high-income population in big cities can sustain them for a longer period of time due to their subjective willingness and objective conditions. (与此相关,体检等预防性卫生服务将有很大的增长空间。显然,定期体检需要一定的时间、经济成本和医疗支持。因此,由于大城市高收入人群的主观意愿和客观条件,他们可以维持更长的时间。)”可知,根据第二段,北京一位富有的老律师最有可能定期体检。故选C项。
3.细节理解题。根据文章第三段“One notable area of development is the adoption of remote monitoring systems. These systems make use of cutting-edge technology to enable healthcare professionals to remotely monitor the vital signs and health status of elderly individuals, providing real-time feedback and intervention when necessary. This not only ensures immediate medical attention but also allows older adults to maintain their independence and age comfortably in their own homes. (一个值得注意的发展领域是采用远程监控系统。这些系统利用尖端技术,使医疗保健专业人员能够远程监测老年人的生命体征和健康状况,在必要时提供实时反馈和干预。这不仅可以确保立即获得医疗护理,还可以让老年人在自己的家中保持独立和舒适的生活。)”可知,老年人的健康状况可以被远程追踪。故选A项。
4.推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Acknowledging the importance of social engagement and mental stimulation in enhancing the well-being of seniors, the entertainment industry has emerged as a key component as well. It is centered around offering diverse activities and entertainment options, such as organized tours, social clubs, arts and crafts workshops and music and dance performances,which are meant for the unique preferences and needs of older individuals. They offer a platform for them to connect, share experiences and engage, creating a supportive environment where seniors can enrich life experiences and apply their different talents. (认识到社会参与和精神刺激在提高老年人福祉方面的重要性,娱乐业也成为了一个关键组成部分。它以提供多样化的活动和娱乐选择为中心,如有组织的旅游、社交俱乐部、艺术和手工艺研讨会以及音乐和舞蹈表演,这些活动和娱乐选项旨在满足老年人的独特偏好和需求。他们为他们提供了一个联系、分享经验和参与的平台,创造了一个支持性的环境,让老年人可以丰富生活经验,发挥自己的不同才能。)”可知,老年人的娱乐活动是根据他们的需求量身定制的。故选B项。

5. D 6. C 7. A 8. B
5.细节理解题。根据第二段中“The Last Human Job, sociologist Allison Pugh’s new book centered on caregiving and human connection in the age of automation, warns readers against unreserved acceptance of these technological advances, citing “connective labor” as valuable human work that will not be easily replaced by algorithms (算法). (社会学家Allison Pugh的新书《最后的人类工作》聚焦于自动化时代的看护和人际关系,该书警告读者不要毫无保留地接受这些技术进步,称“连接性劳动”是有价值的人类工作,不会轻易被算法取代)”可知,这本新书主要关注的是自动化时代连接性劳动的价值。故选D项。
6.推理判断题。根据第三段中“Pugh sets the stage by arguing for the value of human connection and the importance of both seeing and being seen by others. “Practitioners (从业者) said they gained a sense of purpose simply from the opportunity of observing people at their most defenseless,” she observes. (Pugh通过论证人际关系的价值以及看到和被他人看到的重要性奠定了基础。她说:“从业者说,他们获得了一种目的感,仅仅是因为有机会观察人们最无助的时候。”)”可知,此处先指出Pugh论证了人际关系的价值,以及看到和被他人看到的重要性,然后提到从业者的想法,他们通过看到他人而获得目的感。由此推知,作者提到从业者是为了证明人际关系的重要性。故选C项。
7.词句猜测题。根据划线词的上文“When one goes to a doctor or a teacher, the encounter is full of the potential for shame (当一个人去看医生或老师时,这种相遇充满了羞耻的可能性)”和下文“all the more powerful when practitioners show empathic (同理心的) reflection (当从业者表现出共情反思时,这一切都更加强大)”可推知,正是与他人的相遇有可能会有羞耻感,所以从业者具备的共情反思才会使遭遇变得强大,划线词指代的是前面提到的相遇。故选A项。
8.主旨大意题。根据第四段中“Research conducted by herself and others identifies three key aspects supporting connective labor: “relational design”, or how people are set up to interact with one another; “connective culture,” or shared practices and beliefs that influence how people interact; and “resource distribution,” which includes time given for interaction, worker-to-client rates, and the extent of technology and data use, among other factors. (她和其他人进行的研究确定了支持连接性劳动的三个关键方面:“关系设计”,即人们如何与他人互动;“连接性的文化”,或影响人们互动方式的共同实践和信仰;“资源分配”包括互动时间、员工对客户的比率、技术和数据使用的程度等因素)”可知,本段主要介绍了连接性劳动中有效的互动方式。故选B项。
