decimate more jobs in many professions.some robots already cost less to operate than the salaries of the humans they replace, and they are getting cheaper. boston consulting group predicts that, by 2025, the operating cost of a robot that does welding(焊接) will be less than $2 per hour, for example. thats more affordable than the $25 per hour that a human welder earns today in america. uber and many other companies are working on developing cars and trucks that dont need a driver in the drivers seat. according to the american trucking associations, approximately 3 million truck drivers were employed in the united states in 2010, and 6. 8 million others were employed in other jobs relating to trucking activity. so roughly one of every 15 workers in the country is employed in the trucking business. we could be talking about millions of jobs disappearing in the early 2020s. and then there is the gig economy (零工经济) that has some businesses moving toward part-time, on-demand employment. uber has already done this to taxi drivers, and other technology companies are doing it to a wide range of jobs. a study by intuit predicted that, by 2020, 40% of american workers will be self-employed, and that full-time jobs will be harder to find. we are talking about 60 million people in this category. the problem is that not only do such part-time workers lack reliable full-time jobs and sick pay, but they cant enjoy health insurance and longer-term benefits. the measures to be taken are to raise trade barriers. but closing the doors to foreign trade wont bring jobs back. it will only slow the global economy and hurt american exports, shrinking the u. s. economy and accelerating job loss.24. the underlined word “decimate in paragraph l can be replaced by“_”. a. make someone interested in b. equip someone for c. wipe out d. bring back25. what will happen with technologies developing according to the text?a. robots will become smarter and smarter. b. ubers labor cost will be lower and lower.c. more and more truck drivers will be needed. d. taxi drivers can enjoy more insurance health.26. which of the following does the writer agree on? a. welcoming foreign trade. b. offering more part-time jobs. c. using fewer robots to stop job loss. d. developing more new technologies.27. whats the writers main purpose in writing the text?a. to show technology advances in our daily life. b. to prove technologies cause low incomes.c. to introduce what the gig economy is. d. to warn the gig economy is coming.cwhile astronauts in space get to do many exciting things, they miss out on ordinary things that we all take for grantedbeing able to walk on firm ground, hanging out with family and digging into a slice of hot steaming pizza. though not much can be done about the first two things, there may soon be a solution to the third one, thanks to this cool 3-d pizza printer!about a year ago, nasa offered $125 ,000 to anjan contractor, a 3-d technology expert, to build a device (设备) that would allow astronauts to make pizza on demand. the mechanical engineer promised that his invention would produce pies in large quantities that looked, tasted and even smelled like pizza made in common ovens.late last year, the engineer presented a video of his first prototype (原型) that begins by creating a single slice of dough (面团) that is cooked and printed at the same time. then comes the tomato “sauce” a mix of tomato powder, oil and water and finally, a protein slice that resembles cheese. while the video doesnt show the baking process, the inventor says that once the pizza is printed, it can be ready to be consumed in 7 seconds.while the pie in the video looks delicious enough to attract any pizza lover, anjan contractor is far from ready for astronauts. thats because he still has to find a solution to make the food container in the printer last for 30 years. though that may sound unrealistic, actually it is not.anjan contractor believes that the only way that is possible is that the water is removed from all the ingredients (配料) and then they are reduced to the powder form. this, as you can imagine, will not be so easy. but, while the printer may not be ready for space, it certainly looks ready enough for people on earth. hopefully, nasa and contractor will consider selling it to those not fortunate enough to go to mars!28. the author mentions what astronauts in space cannot do in the first paragraph in order to?a. to persuade us not to take ordinary things for granted.b. to show they live a difficult life there.c. to show their life is boring in space.d. to introduce the topic of the text “3-d pizza printer”.29. nasa offered $ 125, 000 to anjan contractor mainly to _.a. create some new type of 3-d printerb. attract more companies to work for nasac. help astronauts in space enjoy fresh pizza one dayd. produce pizza in large quantities to earn great profits30. the biggest challenge that anjan contractor is faced with now is probably that _.a. he has no money left to go on with his researchb. the pizza doesnt seem appetizing to pizza loversc. he has no way to make pizza that can last for thirty yearsd. he cannot make the food container last for decades31. whats the best title of the passage?a. nasa is trying its best to help astronauts eat betterb. astronauts may soon be able to enjoy steaming hot pizzac. nasa is working on making pizza for common peopled. a 3-d pizza printer has been used to make pizzadas computers become all the more popular in china, chinese people are increasingly depending on computer keyboards to input chinese characters. but if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes (笔画) of each chinese character when writing on paper. experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.do you write by hand more or type more? in beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. and computer dependence is more widely spread among university students. almost all their assignment and essays are typed on a computer.all the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.its faster and easier to correct if using a computer. and thats why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education. but when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear.“when im writing with a pen, i find i often cant remember how to write a character, though i feel im familiar with it.”“im not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”many students dont feel this is something to worry about. now that its more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite?many educators think differently. shi liwei, headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said, “ chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic (审美的) value. but those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value. all the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. and handwriting contains the writers emotion. through ones handwriting, people can get to know ones thinking and personality. beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”to encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in beijing have made writing classes compulsory（必修的）and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.32. the underlined expression “taking stock in” in paragraph 4 probably means_.a. getting bored with b. getting dependent onc. becoming crazy aboutd. getting curious about33. the students interviewed prefer to write using a computer mainly because_.a. they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and conveniently b. they are usually asked to e-mail their homework and essaysc. they find it not easy to remember how to write a characterd. computers have become a trend and fashion in china 34. which of the following statement is not true of the advantage of handwriting?a. handwriting contains the writers emotions.b. chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.c. handwriting can impress people well and build ones self-confidence.d. the writers thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting.35. which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?a. to type or to handwrite. b. the importance of handwriting and typing.c. writing by computer will replace writing by hand.d. practical and aesthetic value of chinese characters.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）
