I believe that society needs to face this question before its upon us: If machines can do almost any work humans can do, what will humans do?“The question I want to put forward is, Does the technology we are developing finally benefit mankind？”Prof Vardi, said existing robotic and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies were already getting rid of a growing number of middleclass jobs and that pace of advancement in the field is increasing. But Prof Vardi is not sure that a workforce of humanlike robots will be good for mankind.“A typical answer is that if machines will do all our work, we will be free to pursue leisure activities,” he said.“I do not find this a promising future, as I do not find the idea of leisureonly life appealing. I believe that work is essential to human wellbeing. ”“Humanity is about to face perhaps its greatest challenge ever, which is finding meaning in life. ” “We need to rise to the occasion and meet this challenge before human labor bees out of date.”“Whats different this time is puter scientists are working on building machines that can do everything we can do, only better. If machines can do all the work or even 50 percent of the jobs that we used to do, what will people do？”24What does Professor Moshe Vardi say about future human jobs?AThey will be more challenging.

DLack of life purposes.CA new report has concluded that advertising managers are being increasingly interested in children. Studies show that children influence about 50 percent of things that families buy, so theyre an attractive target for advertisers.John Taylor, the author of the report, says：“Advertisers can reach their target in many ways. They can, for example, show an ad many times during school holidays, they can make the TV advertisements a little louder than the programmes to attract attention, or they can sponsor programmes and show their advertisements just before the programme begins.”Most advertisements aimed at children are short, imaginative and often in the form of animated cartoons(动画片)“Children love the ads and watch them in the same way as any entertainment programme,” Taylor says.Therere concerns about advertising aimed at young people. The concerns are shared by Sarah Durham, a writer and journalist specializing in media analysis. “The most worrying thing is that children dont think carefully when they see television advertisements. Theyre less critical than adults and dont usually realize the advertisement has a persuasive message, to encourage them or their parents to spend as much money as possible on the product or service,” she says.Therere also concerns over the vast sums of money that junk food producers spend on advertising to persuade children to buy their food products. Many advertisements, argues Durham, sell food that is a lot higher in fat, salt and sugar than healthier alternatives. “Many panies target children with offers of free toys, models of cartoon characters and gimmicky(耍花招的) packaging.”Government approaches to controlling advertising to children vary. In Sweden, one of the strictest countries where advertising is concerned, TV advertising to children under the age of 12 is banned. Greece bans television advertisements for childrens toys between 7 am. and 10 pm. Denmark and the Netherlands also have legal controls whereas France, Britain and Germany prefer selfregulation(自动调节)Some countries are not as certain as the Swedes that advertising to children is harmful. The French argue that children need to see many advertisements so that they can develop their ability to think as they grow up. The belief is that advertising will help children to be more aware of its persuasive power.28What does John Taylor mainly talk about in Paragraph 2?AWays in which advertisers reach children.BThe time children spend watching television.CExamples of successful advertising to children.DThe serious problems of advertising to children.29Why is Sarah Durham concerned about advertising aimed at children?ATV ads limit childrens imagination.BTV ads affect childrens brain development.CChildren lack the good sense to make decisions.DChildren may spend lots of time watching television.30What does Durham say about the food advertised?AIts tasty.BIts cheap. CIts unhealthy. DIts readymade.31What is the Frenchs attitude toward advertising to children?ADoubtful. BRelaxed. CObjective. DUnfavorable.DTheres nothing more disappointing than arriving at an airport overseas to discover that your baggage has been left behind. At best you will have to put up with wearing the clothes you stand up in for hours or days, until the airline reunites you with your baggage. At worst, you may be in a different climate zone, thousands of miles from home and forced to wear wholly unsuitable clothes.No airline is free from mistakes. Although airlines rarely reveal(透露) how many cases they lose, its a fact of life that sooner or later regular travellers will be parted from their baggage. Even the best airlines slip up from time to time, and its impossible for any carrier to guarantee that a passengers checked baggage will go on the same flight, particularly when a journey calls for one or more changes of aircraft.Although airlines make special efforts to avoid errors, unexpected events can still result in baggage going missing. In normal circumstances the baggage system works well. But extra security checks at airports and problems with air traffic bine to cause delayed flights. All of this can cause the baggage system to fail. Then there is the possibility of human error, or an accident in which the destination label is torn off.Busy airports are likely to have more problems. These problems can bee extremely serious at large transfer(换乘) airports, known as “hubs”, because of the large number of bags that are processed. Last year, for example, Londons Heathrow airport handled more than 41 million passengers, of whom nine million were changing planes. British Airways alone handled two million transfer passengers at Heathrow.No airport can guarantee the safe handling of baggage. Even efficient transfer airports have their bad days. The risk of baggage being lost when changing planes is higher than average at most airports. Miami airport is well known for baggage going missing when transatlantic passengers make immediate connections for destinations in Latin America.You should choose direct flights whenever possible and check in well before the official time. If a change of plane is unavoidable, or makes your flight less expensive, then try to fly the same airline throughout. Make sure you label your baggage inside and out with your home and holiday addresses.32. What does the author want to tell us in Paragraph 1?AMany travellers often miss their homes.BIt is important to wear suitable clothes.CTravelling by airline is unfortable.DLosing baggage puts people to inconvenience.33The underlined phrase “slip up” in Paragraph 2 probably means _Afind a problemBmake an error Ckeep a secret Dknow a fact34What do we learn about Heathrow airport?AIt is a very busy hub. BIt mainly processes large bags.CIt seldom has baggage problems. DIt served nine million planes last year.35Passengers baggage is more likely to lose when _Athey cross the Atlantic Bthey are changing planesCthey use a new baggage system Dthey get normal security checks第二节(共5小题; 每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，有两项为多余项。Everybody has to face bad days in his life.
