Fortune cookies are in Chinese restaurants throughout the United States. Its rather satisfying to crack open a cookie at the end of your meal and read your “lucky fortune” on the slip of paper inside.The exact origin of the fortune cookie is unknown. It is thought that the tasty snack was the first introduced into San Francisco in 1914, after an immigrant began distributing the cookie with “thank you” notes in them. These “thank you” notes were intended as symbols of appreciation for friends who stood with him through the economic hardship and discrimination of his early life in America.There is an alternate origin story. Los Angeles is regarded as the site of the fortune cookies invention. In this version of the story, David Jung, a Chinese immigrant residing in L. A., is thought to have created the cookie in order to uplift the spirits of the poor and homeless. In 1918, Jung handed out the cookies for free to the poor outside his shop and each cookie contained a strip of paper with an inspirational sentence printed on it.Fortune cookies first began to gain popularity in mainstream American culture during WWII. Chinese restaurants would serve them in place of desserts, as desserts were not popular in traditional Chinese cuisine. Today fortune cookies are not tied to Chinese-American culture. In fact, the largest fortune cookie manufacturer is located in the United States and it produces 4.5 million fortune cookies a day an evidence to the modern-day popularity of the snack. However, an attempt to introduce the fortune cookie to China in 1992 was a failure, and the cookie was cited for being “too American.”So the next time you break open a fortune cookie and read a fortune about the many successes you should expect in your future, remember that the conclusion to your Chinese restaurant meal may not be as Chinese as you think.24. Why were fortune cookies introduced into San Francisco?A. To make profit. B. To express gratitude.C. To uplift peoples spirits D. To help people out of hardship.25. Which of the following sentences may be found in Jungs cookies?A. The fortune you seek is in another cookie.B. Every exit is an entrance to new experiences.C. Im being held prisoner by a Chinese bakery.D. Only taste fortune cookies; disregard all others26. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. A Symbol of Chinese Culture B. Chinese Restaurants in AmericaC. Can fortune cookie tell your fortune? D. Fortune cookie, Chinese or American?CFrom selfdriving cars to carebots for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people. But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence continues to change businesses.“The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces,” said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific.A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence.The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the US technology already destroys more jobs than it creates.But the report states: “Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobsjust changing what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research.“The growth of 20 to 40 person companies that have the speed and technological knowhow will directly challenge big companies,” it states.A 2020 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. The optimists pictured “a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create,” according to Aaron Smith, the reports coauthor.“Technology will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change,” Microsofts Jonathan Grudin told researchers.27.We can infer from the text that in the future _.A. people will face many difficultiesB. most jobs will be done in traditional workplacesC. artificial intelligence will threaten peoples livesD. people will take up more creative jobs28.According to the report, _.A. small companies will win against big companiesB .big companies will face fewer challengesC. people wont necessarily lose jobsD. most people will become interested in technology29.What is the attitude of most experts in artificial intelligence and robotics to the future?A. Hopeful.B. Worried.C. Mixed.D. Doubtful.30. Jonathan Grudins words in the last paragraph suggest that _.A. things will change a lot in a few yearsB. there will be enough jobs for peopleC. many people will become unemployedD. technology will totally change future jobs第二节 七选五(共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Here are tips for a successful speech from a professional speechwriter:No speech should last more than 20 minutes. 31 .
