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.1.The underlined word “decimate” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by “”.A.make someone interested inB.equip someone forC.wipe out D.bring back2.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 health insurance.3.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.4.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.语篇解读:本文为一篇议论文。作者认为,在未来十年里,新科技的运用会缩减大量工作岗位,零工经济将会出现。1.C猜测词义题。 根据第三段最后一句We could be talking about millions of jobs disappearing in the early 2020s.可以判断出,随着新科技的运用,许多工作会消失,由此可以推测出与C项wipe out(消灭,摧毁)同义。2.B推理判断题。根据第三段中Uber and many other companies are working on developing cars and trucks that dont need a driver in the drivers seat.可知,Uber公司将大幅减少劳动力成本。故B项正确。3.A推理判断题。根据最后一段中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.可知,作者认为关闭外贸之门不会带来就业,它只会使全球经济变缓,使美国出口受损,从而收缩了美国经济,加剧了失业,因此作者应该是赞同对外贸易的。故A项正确。4.D推理判断题。本文论述科技对社会的影响,并告诫人们科技的发展使得工作岗位大量减少,零工经济将会出现。故选D项。. 完形填空“If only I could have saved her.The ambulance got there within five minutes,but I couldnt 1 her on my own,”my cousin Christopher 2 explained the situation to my aunt Patti.Aunt Patti said gently,“It is not your 3,Christopher!”Standing in the 4,I saw tears streaming down the faces of my loved ones.Aunt Patti walked into the room,5 Sam,six weeks in age.Sam did not 6 the effect this would have on his life.“Can I hold him?”I 7 this baby boy and couldnt imagine what great pain his father was 8.Aunt Patti handed Sam to me,and her sleeve became wet as she 9 her face.Who would 10 a mothers role if his mother didnt make it?I knew Sam needed more love than ever.My friend Abi was 11 me at that time.We 12 to hold a party at her house.Looking at Sam,I decided to stay in the hospital and 13 him.I told my mother the 14,and she felt quite 15 because I always wanted to be with my friends,but that day was 16.I knew I needed to be with my family.“Everything is going to be 17,Sam,”I said.Although he didnt understand the words,he smiled.On March 8,Sams mom passed away.He was too 18 to understand the sadness and the tears,19 I believed his future life would be happy.Life without his mother will not be like my childhood,but I know I can 20.By babysitting him,playing with him,and listening to him,I can have an influence on his life.1.A.saveB.findC.protectD.cure2.A.angrilyB.sadlyC.bravelyD.secretly3.A.job B.turnC.faultD.nature4.A.yardB.officeC.parkD.hospital5.A.introducingB.holdingC.followingD.calling6.A.understandB.believeC.admit D.enjoy7.A.raised B.lovedC.inspiredD.discovered8.A.hidingB.controllingC.causingD.suffering9.A.wipedB.washedC.coveredD.touched10.A.likeB.getC.knowD.replace11.A.worrying aboutB.talking aboutC.waiting forD.calling for12.A.neededB.plannedC.beganD.hoped13.A.guideB.treatC.teachD.watch14.A.decisionB.changeC.advice D.answer15.A.embarrassedB.surprisedC.disappointedD.tired16.A.differentB.coldC.dark D.boring17.A.readyB.perfectC.okayD.hard18.A.weakB.anxiousC.youngD.lovely19.A.orB.asC.soD.but20.A.insistB.manageC.helpD.explain语篇解读:本文是夹叙夹议文,话题是人物故事类。一位亲戚不幸去世,留下了6周大的孩子。于是,作者决定尽全力去帮助这个孩子。答案及剖析:1.A根据第一句可知,Christopher自己无能为力,救不了她。2.B从Christopher说的
