bbyisspeakingtoBcssoncemore,inavoiceas1ovingasiteverwasin1ifeandbringsussevera1genera

tionsofbravewomen.”可知，最后一本小说的主角是BobbyBelL

【破解长难句】Shegavenothoughttoteachinguntilafriendtookhertoan

introductiontoaprogram,whichp1acednoviceinstructorsinschoolsful1oflow-

句；fulloflow-incomechildren是形容词短语作后置定语修饰schools0

【译文】她从未想过要教学,直到一个朋友带她去参加一个项目的介绍，该项目把新手教师安置在

满是低收入家庭的孩子的学校里。

【语篇导读】本文是说明文。机器在执行金融任务时更客观，人工智能和机器人科学能帮助公司做

出更有效的选择，但是人工智能执行复杂任务的能力是有限的,而人类则可以轻易地调整自己来适

应市场变化。

8.B解析细节理解题。根据第二段第二句中的"Manyinvestmcntbanks...donebyhumans”可知，

许多机构使用人工智能来代替人类雇员是为了提高工作效率。

9.A解析细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句可知，在作出重大交易决定时，机器不会受这些心理问

题的困扰，因为它们消除了短期交易活动中的情绪干扰，使交易方式更客观。据此可知，和人类相比,

机器儿乎不会被情绪干扰。

10.D解析词义猜测题。由该句中的“andotherrepetitivesupport
