Robots have certain advantages compared to humans. They are efficient, tireless, can be repaired when damaged and they never get sick. The last quality has made them the star during our fight against the COVID-19(新冠肺炎). While thousands of medical workers have fallen ill dealing with this highly infectious virus and a lot more have to stay at home for fear of getting the disease, this isn’t a problem for robots. This is why the COVID-19 outbreak is seen as the “tipping point” for robots to start to replace humans in certain jobs.
In hospitals, robots are used to perform high-risk tasks. In China, for example, a hotel in Hangzhou employed a robot to deliver food to people under quarantine(隔离). In Spain, robots are about to be used to test people for the coronavirus(冠状病毒).
In non-medical companies, robots are also replacing human employees since they don’t have the problem of the social distancing and will never take sick leave. Fast-food chains like McDonald’s are not only delivering food with robots in some areas, but also looking to use them as cooks and servers. Walmart and Amazon, for example, where robots are already used in packing and shipping, are planning to increase the number of robots in these areas.
But this sudden boom in robot demand doesn’t mean that they can replace humans successfully in every aspect. According to Bill Smart, a roboticist at Oregon State University, the human contact between doctors and patients is still important. Doctors comfort the patients and guide them through hard decisions while robots are only doing daily tasks, like cleaning and giving tests.
It might be true that robots have certain advantages over humans, but they are still secondary to human’s communication and emotion.
4. Which of the following is not the advantage of robots over human beings?
A. They never fall ill.
B. They can offer emotion support.
C. They are efficient in work.
D. They can be repaired when damaged.
5. Why does the author take McDonald’s and Walmart as examples?
A. To explain robots are more intelligent than humans.
B. To prove robots have social ability wherever they are.
C. To explain how robots replace humans in non-medical companies.
D. To prove McDonald’s and Walmart are famous companies in the world.
6. What’s the meaning of the underlined part “sudden boom” in Paragraph 4?
A. Sharp increase. B. Low supply.
C. Short explosion. D. Excellent performance.
7. What’s the best title of this passage?
A. The Efficient Tireless Robots B. Robots Will Replace Humans
C. Robots Aid in Coronavirus Fight D. The demand For Robots Increase
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. A
【解析】
【分析】文章是一篇说明文。主要介绍了机器人在协助人们抗击病毒中作出的贡献，和机器人在非医学领域的作用以及探讨了机器人是否会取代人类。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。本题题干意为：下列哪一项不是机器人相对于人类的优势？A.他们从不生病。B.他们能提供最好的情感支持。C.他们在工作中很有效率。D.当损坏时可以被修理。文章第一段“They are efficient, tireless,can be repaired when the damaged and they never get sick."(他们高效、不知疲倦，当损坏时可以修复，而且他们永远不会生病）可知，文中提到了A,C,D三个选项，故他们能提供最好的情感支持不是机器人相对于人类的优势。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。本题题干意为：“为什么作者拿麦当劳和沃尔玛做例子？”A.去解释机器人比人类更聪明。B.去证明机器人在任何地方都有社交能力。C.解释机器人如何在非医药公司取代人类D.为了证明麦当劳和沃尔玛在世界上是著名的。文章第三段“In non-medical companies, robots are also replacing human employees since they don't have the problem of the social distancing and will never take sick leave. Fast-food chains like McDonald's are not only delivering food with robots in some areas, but also looking to use them as cooks and servers. Walmart and Amazon for example, where robots are already used in packing and shipping, are planning to increase the number of robots in these areas."(在非医疗公司，机器人也在取代人类员工，因为它们没有社会距离的问题，也不会请病假。像麦当劳这样的快餐连锁店不仅在某些地区用机器人运送食物，而且还希望把它们用作厨师和服务员。例如，在沃尔玛和亚马逊，机器人已经被用于包装和运输，他们正计划增加这些领域的机器人数量。）可知，举了麦当劳和沃尔玛的例子，是去解释机器人是如何在这两种行业中去取代人类的。故选C。
【6题详解】
词义猜测题。本题题干意为：“第四段中的划线词是什么意思？”A急剧增加.。B. 供应不足。C.短暂爆炸。D.性能优异。文章第四段“But this sudden boom in robot demand doesn't mean that they can replace humans successfully in every aspect.”（但是机器人需求的突然激增并不意味着它们可以在各个方面成功取代人类。）根据“demand”（需求）和“replace humans successfully”（成功取代人类）我们可以结合上文以及常识，如今科技发达对机器人的需求是在增加的。而“sudden”（突然）修饰“boom”（迅速增长）表示的是：激增，因此划线词与A的意思最接近。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。本题题干意为：“文章最好的标题是什么？”A.不知疲倦的机器人。B.机器人将会取代人类。C.机器人协助抗击冠状病毒。D. 对机器人增加的需求。文章前两段介绍了机器人在协助人们抗击病毒中作出的贡献，下文主要介绍了机器人在非医学领域的作用以及探讨了机器人是否会取代人类。因此C,D项去做标题会以偏概全，故排除。B项是文章没有提及的，因此排除。文章多次提到机器人的优势和它们不知疲倦，因此A项最合适做标题。故选A。
C
When people find out that I am a journalist, they often ask me: What do you think about the future of newspapers?
I tell them that I think the future of communications is moving online. People expect me to be fearful for the future of print. After all, in some people's minds I wouldn't be able to build a career in journalism if it all moves online. However, strangely enough, I’m actually comforted by the fact that online journalism is becoming usual. I am a blogger who has always been able to find a home for my writing online.
Since I began writing blogs, I have become aware of how many people you can reach with online writing. Compare this to the newspapers circulation base, and you will have a strong reason for online journalism.
In her successful blog post titled The Job I have spent the last year learning is not the one I will have, author Jenny Surane states, "Print is an expensive product to love. And general managers, publishers and editors must now figure out a profitable way to get their news into readers' heads.” She goes on to state that people don't feel like picking up a newspaper now and would rather scroll(滚屏) through their Twitter feed, and get news from many different sources.
If print is dying, then a new form of communicating information is being born. The need for information has not died. If anything, it has increased. What has died, rather, is the way in which information is presented.
Now more than ever, in this age of information, there is a desire for stories on the same topic from different points of view. The printing industry can keep pate with the need of providing a variety of sources, if it chooses to.
Is the future of print grim? Maybe, But is the future of journalism of communicating information to people, grim as well? Definitely not.
8. According to Paragraph 2, the author feels .
A. confident about the future of his career
B. worried about the future of print
C. tired of being a newspaper journalist
D. embarrassed about online writing
9. What information is conveyed in Jenny's blog post?,
A. Twitter is not very popular
B. It is hard to manage online journalism
C. Prim still has its advantages
D. People have more choices to get information
10. What does the underlined word “grim” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Promising B. Depressing
C. Unforgiving D. Encouraging
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To explore the future of journalism
B. To analyze the cause of print decline
C. To explain the bright future of a journalist
D. To introduce a successful blog post about print
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【分析】本文作者是一名记者，在此篇文章中作者探索了新闻业的未来，认为新闻传播业的未来不一定悲观，但印刷媒体的未来不看好。
【8题详解】
A推理判断题。根据第二段最后两句However, strangely enough, I’m actually comforted by the fact that online journalism is becoming usual. I am a blogger who has always been able to find a home for my writing online可知，作者对他事业的未来充满信心。故选A。
【9题详解】
D推理判断题。根据第四段中“Print is an expensive product to love. And general managers, publishers and editors must now figure out a profitable way to get their news into readers’ heads,” She goes on to state that people don’t feel like picking up a newspaper now and would rather scroll(滚屏) through their Twitter feed, and get new from many different sources.可知，人们有更多获得信息的选择，看印刷品是一种，滑动手机也是一种，故选D。
【10题详解】
B词义猜测题。根据文章最后一段Is the future of print grim? Maybe. But is the future of journalism of communicating information to people, grim as well? Definitely not.第一句问的是关于印刷业的未来，印刷业的未来可能是严峻的；第二句问的是关于新闻传播业的未来，新闻传播业的未来不一定严峻。but表示转折，表示前后两种回答的相反。A. Promising有发展前途的；B. Depressing严峻的；C. Unforgiving不原谅认的；D. Encouraging令人鼓励的。A、D表示积极的、鼓励性的，不正确；C项更与问题无关，根据整篇文章，只有B项Depressing（严峻的）符合文意，故选B。
【11题详解】
A推理判断题。根据第一段When people find out that I am a journalist, they often ask me: What do you think about the future of newspapers?再根据最后一段Is the future of print grim? Maybe. But is the future of journalism of communicating information to people, grim as well? Definitely not.可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是为了探索新闻业的未来。故选A。

From self-driving cars to care-bots（care+robots） 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 jobs — just 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 know-how will directly challenge big companies,” it states.
A 2014 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 report’s co-author.
“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,” Microsoft’s Jonathan Grudin told researchers.
12. We can infer from the text that in the future _____.
A. people will face many difficulties
B. people will take up more creative jobs
C. artificial intelligence will threaten people's lives
D. most jobs will be done in traditional workplaces
13. According to the report, _____.
A. people won't necessarily lose jobs
B. big companies will face fewer challenges
C. small companies will win against big companies
D. most people will become interested in technology
14. What is the attitude of most experts in artificial intelligence and robotics to the future?
A. Mixed B. Worried.
C. Hopeful. D. Doubtful.
15. Jonathan Grudin’s words in the last paragraph suggest that _____.
A. there will be enough jobs for people
B. things will change a lot in a few years
C. many people will become unemployed
D. technology will totally change future jobs
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲了现在新技术不断涌现，从自驾车到老年人护理机器人。技术的发展一直代表着许多人通常从事的工作可能面临威胁。但专家们现在认为，随着人工智能不断改变业务，2025年以前的近50%的职业将完全不必要存在。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence.可知未来人们将会从事更多创造性的工作，故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs — just changing what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research.可知人们不一定会失业，故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段A 2014 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.可知Pew Research2014年的一份报告发现，52%的人工智能和机器人专家对未来持乐观态度，并相信未来几年仍有足够的工作岗位，故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“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,”可知人们会有足够的工作，故选A。

【41题详解】

Last weekend, my British friend, Jim, spotted paper cutting stand when we were wandering on the street. Had never seen paper-cuts, he immediately bought one. Therefore, the seller shook her head at the moment she saw the 100-yuan note Jim handed to her. She had no changes! How disappointed Jim was! He was about to quit while I took out my cellphone, scan the QR code on the stand and paid five yuan. Jim was very surprising. I explained to her that nowadays we could pay with a cellphone for almost everything. “Wow!” Jim said, “the paper-cut looks great, and the payment method seems even great!”
【答案】1. spotted后加a
2. Had→Having
3. Therefore→However
4. at the moment去at
5.changes→change
6. while→when
7. scan→scanned
8.surprising→surprised
9.her→him
10. great→greater
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。作者与英国朋友在街上闲逛时，朋友对从没见过的剪纸特别感兴趣。当他拿出100元准备买剪纸时，卖主却没零钱找钱。作者就用手机扫二维码付了款。朋友感叹道：剪纸很好，但是这个付款方式更好。
【详解】1.考查冠词。句意：上周末，我的英国朋友吉姆在街上闲逛时发现了一个剪纸摊。stand为可数名词，此处表泛指应用不定冠词，且paper是发音以辅音音素开头的单词，应用a。故spotted后加a。
2.考查非谓语动词。句意：他从来没有见过剪纸，于是马上买了一个。see的动作发生在bought之前，故用现在分词的完成式having done形式。故Had改为Having。
3.考查副词。句意：但是商贩一看见Jim递给她的是100元钞票时，她就摇了摇头。分析句子可知，商贩没有零钱，前后句为转折关系，由逗号隔开，应用副词however。故Therefore改为However。
4.考查状语从句。句意：但是商贩一看见Jim递给她的是100元钞票时，她就摇了摇头。引导时间状语从句，表示“一……就……”应用the moment。故at the moment去at。
5.考查名词。句意：她没有零钱。change表示“零钱”为不可数名词。故changes改为change。
6.考查固定句型。句意：他正准备放弃的时候，我拿出手机，扫描摊位上的二维码，支付了五元。结合句意表示“正要做某事的时候突然……”句型为sb. be about to do sth. when…。故while改为when。
7.考查动词时态。句意：他正准备放弃的时候，我拿出手机，扫描摊位上的二维码，支付了五元。scan是与took out，paid并列的谓语动词，故也要用过去式。故scan改为scanned。
8.考查形容词。句意：Jim非常惊讶。主语为人，应用-ed结尾形容词surprised，作表语；surprising用于修饰物，表示“令人惊讶的”。故surprising改为surprised。
9.考查代词。句意：我向他解释，如今在中国我们可以用手机买任何东西。Jim为男性，故用him。故her改为him。
10.考查比较级。句意：剪纸看起来很不错，但是支付方案更棒。even作为副词，应修饰形容词比较级。Jim将剪纸与付款方式进行比较，觉得付款方式更棒。故great改为greater。

Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
【答案】Dear Peter,
I am sorry to learn that you have been suffering headaches, which prevents you from performing well in your work. Worse still, you haven’t got better after taking some western medicine. Therefore, I suggest you try TCM, also known as Traditional Chinese medicine.
From my perspective, Chinese medicine is superior to western medicine in a sense. Producing fewer side effects is typical of Chinese medicine, which will have a lasting effect on your health. If time permits, patients can recover completely. In addition, Chinese medicine is less expensive, so you don’t need to worry about your budget. I believe the treatment appeals greatly to you.
I hope that you will recover soon. If there is anything you need me to know, don’t hesitate to inform me.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
