item)从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选择项中选出一个最佳答案，并在答题卡上将相应的字母涂黑。1.Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.With technological advances，the first half of the twentieth century saw a movement of workers away from agricultural to industrial production.The second half saw a movement from industrial production to services.So far，technological advances have not reduced our need for service workers.But what would happen if advances in artificial intelligence(AI)should greatly increase the productivity of service workers，as suggested by the following scene?Andrea calls the doctors office with a medical concern.The doctors automated telephone system，in a friendly and personal voice，asks her a series of questions.Based on Andreas answers and in consultation with her insurers claim system，the doctors system directs her to a neighborhood lab for tests.At the lab，another automated system performs the prescribed tests，makes a diagnosis，and provides the appropriate medication，all while in contact with Andreas insurer.As the service is completed,the insurer pays the cost of the service.Andrea signs for any co|payment，to be paid automatically from her bank account.Heading home，Andrea was happily spared from long waits and a hurried contact with the doctor.To anticipate the realization of such a scene and its timing，we should watch the industries with the most potential for early application of AI.These would be where services are already provided at a distance(airline reservations were an early example).Once widespread in these industries，AI will have built the necessary level of trust and acceptance to move into more and more service industries.The critical issue now is that such changes could lead to considerable reduction in service jobs at a time when people will want to(or need to)work longer.Services in the first half of the twenty|first century might thus resemble manufacturing in the second half of the twentieth century，with considerable unemployment and significant incentives(诱因)for early retirement.If we are to minimize the panic，we need first to see it coming.(10分)(1):The main aim of the second paragraph is to show that_.A：medical payment involves a complex processB：more humans are available for servicesC：AI will make services more efficientD：several doctors are needed in a medical diagnosis(2):Airline reservations are an early example of_.A：AI applicationB：a face-to-face serviceC：the prevalence of flightsD：AI reliance on humans(3):It is implied in the last paragraph that in the second half of the 20th century_.A：a large number of employees lost their jobsB：a lot of employees refused to do more workC：numerous workers were forced to retire earlierD：many workers were encouraged to work longer(4):The authors attitude toward the future of AI is.A：positiveB：negativeC：indifferentD：objective(5):.It is possible that in the future_.A：the need for service workers will be reducedB：service industries will be out of businessC：AI will create more jobs for human workersD：AI will limit industrial production2.Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.My drop-out started before I was born.My biological mother was a young，unwed college graduate student,and she decided to put me up for adoption.She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates，so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife.Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl.So my parents，who were on a waiting list,got a call in the middle of the night asking：“We have an unexpected baby boy；do you want him?”They said：“Of course.”My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school.She refused to sign the final adoption papers.She changed her mind a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.And 17 years later I did go to college.But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford，and all of my working|class parents savings were being spent on my college tuition.After six months，I couldnt see the value in it.I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out.And here I was spending all the money my parents had saved their entire life.So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK.It was pretty scary at the time，but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made.The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didnt interest me，and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.It wasnt all romantic.I didnt have a dorm room,so I slept on the floor in friends rooms，I returned coke bottles for the 5c/ deposits to buy food with，and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple.And much of what I stumbled into turned out to be priceless later on.(10分)(1):The expressionbiological motherrefers to_.A：ones mother through adoptionB：ones mother through birthC：an unmarried motherD：a mother working as a biologist(2):It is true that the authors parents_.A：worked as lawyersB：adopted a baby girlC：graduated from collegeD：had no college degrees(3):The author quitted school mainly because_.A：he had spent all of his parentssavingsB：classes in his college did not interest himC：he wanted to make more money for his parentsD：he didnt think his college tuition worth while(4):After the author dropped out of college，he_.A：continued to pursue his interestsB：found satisfactory employmentC：lived on his parents savingsD：enjoyed selling bottles for a living(5):The author regarded his drop-out as_.A：romanticB：rewardingC：disappointingD：useless3.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Electronic waste,also called e|waste，has become an issue of serious concern to environmentalists as a growing number of electronic items are discarded in landfills(垃圾填埋场)every year.Many consumers are not aware that electronics like computers and cell phones actually contain toxins that can enter the soil and damage the environment.Several nations have passed laws about e|waste to try and keep it out of landfills,or in landfills which are equipped to handle toxic materials.The heavy metals in e|waste pose serious environmental and health risks.While many consumers are trained to think of things like cathode ray tubes(阴极射线管)as dangerous articles that require special disposal，most do not connect cell phones，for example，with beryllium， a toxic heavy metal which can cause severe damage to the lungs.In addition to the toxins it contains，e|waste also takes a very long time to biodegrade，which means that it will be taking up landfill space for centuries.The question of what to do with e|waste is a serious one.In the first world， many companies have begun to take steps to reduce the amount of e|waste they create.Companies which manufacture electronics are starting to take items back when they are no longer useful so that usable elements like copper can be safely removed and the rest of the electronics can be safely disposed of.However,a large portion of unwanted electronics in the first world is being shipped to the third world.Sometimes this e|waste is shipped under the cover of humanitarian(人道主义的)reasons，arguing that old technology can still help bridge the gap between first and third world.Slow computers which are not wanted in the United States，for example，might make a big difference to someone living in Africa.However, much of this equipment actually arrives in an unusable and broken state，and people desperate for money try to harvest usable materials such as valuable metals from donated equipment.Unfortunately,most of these individuals lack training in how to handle the dangerous materials used in electronics manufacture，and expose themselves and their communities to toxic chemicals and metals.(10分)(1):Laws about e-waste have been passed because_.A：cathode ray tubes are not disposed of properlyB：enough landfills have been built to handle harmful materialsC：consumers are ignorant of the danger of cell phonesD：e-waste contains toxins and biodegrade slowly(2):It is implied in the third paragraph that_.A：electronics manufacturers have the ability to deal with e-wasteB：most e-waste in the first world is properly dealt withC：the usual practice in the first world is to recycle e-wasteD：copper in e-waste is not a recyclable element(3):The author believes that the unwanted electronics shipped to the third world_.A：arrives in broken state but is still usable to the poorB：bridges the technological gap to a great extentC：does more harm than good in factD：serves as a real humanitarian aid to advance technology(4):The passage mainly deals with_.A：the dangers caused by e-wasteB：the safe ways to dispose of e-wasteC：the illegal transactions of electronicsD：the gap between first and third world(5):The wordtoxins(Para.1)probably refers to_.A：cheap metalsB：electronic partsC：poisonous substancesD：valuable elements四、Word Spelling(10 points,1 point for two items) 将下列汉语单词译成英语。每个单词的词类、首字母及字母数目均已给出。请将完整的单词写在答题纸上。1.自愿的a. v_ (0.5分)2.即兴创作v. i_ (0.5分)3.诚实地ad. h_ (0.5分)4.承担，从事v. u_
