(2022·河北省名校联考)
Rbts are getting better at ding human jbs. That’s prbably gd fr the ecnmy，but there are sme serius drawbacks, t.
Machines are expected t displace abut 20 millin manufacturing jbs acrss the wrld ver the next decade, accrding t a reprt released by Oxfrd Ecnmics, a glbal frecasting and quantitative analysis firm.
That means abut 8.5% f the glbal manufacturing wrkfrce culd be displaced by rbts. The reprt als ntes that the mve t rbts tends t create new jbs as fast as it autmates them; hwever，it culd cntribute t incme inequality. The use f rbts is n the rise: At this pint，every new rbt that is installed (安装) displaces 1.6 manufacturing wrkers n average, accrding t the Oxfrd Ecnmic mdel.
Rbts are becming cheaper than many human wrkers, in part because f the falling csts f machines. And they are increasingly capable f functining in mre cmplex prcesses and varied cntexts. On tp f that, the demand fr manufactured gds is rising.
One ptential dwnside f the rbt revlutin: Autmatin culd increase incme inequality. “This great displacement will nt be evenly distributed arund the wrld, r within cuntries，”accrding t the reprt. “Our research shws that the negative effects f rbtizatin are disprprtinately (不成比例地) felt in the lwer-incme regins cmpared with higher-incme regins f the same cuntry.”
The wrkers wh drive knwledge and innvatin within the manufacturing industry tend t be cncentrated in larger cities, and thse skills are harder t autmate. That’s why urban areas will deal better with the increased autmatin, accrding t the reprt.
On the whle, the increased use f autmatin will likely create new jbs at a pace cmparable t the jbs that will be lst, which cancels ut fears abut permanent jb destructin, accrding t the Oxfrd study. That said, the prer regins that are expected t lse the mst jbs will prbably nt benefit equally frm this new jb creatin due t a gap in skills. That will lead t increased incme inequality between cities and rural areas, as well as between regins.

A freezing dwnpur washed the street in frnt f the small-twn bar. I sat gazing int the watery darkness, alne as usual. I had been in that ld bar fr half an hur, quietly drinking, when my thughtful eyes finally fcused n a medium-sized lump (一团) in a puddle (水洼) a hundred feet away. Fr anther ten minutes, I lked ut thrugh the windw trying t decide if the lump was an animal r just smething.
The night befre, a German dg named Shep had cme int the bar begging fr ptat chips. He was starving and just the size f the lump in the puddle. Why shuld a dg lie in a cld puddle in the freezing rain? I asked myself. The answer was simple: Either it wasn’t a dg, r it was, he was t weak t get up.
The wund in my right shulder ached all the way dwn my fingers. I didn’t want t g ut in the strm. Hey, it wasn’t my dg. It was just a stray n a cld rainy night, a lnely drifter (流浪者). S was I, I thught, as I tssed (扔) dwn what was left f my drink and headed ut the dr.
He was lying in the three inches f water. When I tuched him, he didn’t mve. I thught he was dead. I put my hands arund his chest and raised him t his feet. He std unsteadily, and his head hung like a weight at the end f his neck. His flppy ears were just hairless pieces f flesh dtted with pen sres (伤口)．
“Cme n, Shep，” I said, leading him t a crner next t the bar, where he lay n the cld cement and clsed his eyes. A blck away I culd see the lights f a late-night cnvenience stre. It was still pen. I bught three cans f dg fd and fed him. He culdn’t swallw but prly lk at me. He was dying!

参考范文：
The lcal vet was still at his ffice, s I laded the pr creature int a taxi and headed there.After a quick check n the pr dg, the vet shk his head with regret. He prmised me he wuld try his utmst but Shep was unlikely t get thrugh it unless there is a miracle. While the vet treated the sres carefully, I tried t drp water in his muth and fed him with fd bit by bit. I never gave up hpe f getting him saved. Many times I wuld caress his neck, whispering int his ears t encurage him t hld n. He was s weak that he had t stay in the vet’s.
Three days later, when I pened the dr f the vet’s, Shep welcmed me with wild enthusiasm. He wagged his tail frm left t right as if t say “Thank yu”. He was gaining strength and imprving fr the better. Tears filling my eyes, I knew all ur effrts were wrthwhile. Sn, the dg recvered frm severe sres and I adpted him and tk him hme. Once in a while, I wuld g t that bar with Shep, a drink fr myself and a serve f ptat chips fr him. What wuld have happened if I hadn’t stepped ut n that strmy night? Care and kindness really made a difference, t bth f us.
