Artificial intelligence (AI) is technology that lets machines do things that need “thinking.” It is a hard term to define (下定义) because AI isn’t actually one thing. Rather it’s a group of technologies that help machines get, understand and use information to perform tasks. The range of technologies is one of the reasons people use so many different terms to describe AI. In addition to artificial intelligence, terms like machine learning, cognitive computing and deep learning are common.

No matter which term is used, recent developments have received a lot of public attention. Some have welcomed the technology because of things that AI makes possible. For example, AI will have a big effect on areas like medicine and engineering. But the public attention has also produced a lot of fear and caution. In particular, many are concerned about the effects AI could have on people’s jobs.

According to a recent study, nearly five percent of jobs will disappear because of AI. High on the list are jobs in the producing and mining industries, where systems powered by AI are already performing tasks that people used to do, such as assembling (组装) cars, digging tunnels and loading materials. In the future, self-driving cars and trucks that depend on AI will also steal jobs for drivers. Moreover, AI systems will do many tasks now performed by legal assistants and accountants.

On the other hand, AI will also create many new jobs. More people will be needed to write software for AI systems as well as to set up and operate them. Meanwhile, jobs that require emotional intelligence, excellent communication skills and interaction with people will not be replaced by Al. These include jobs in fields like teaching, nursing, hairdressing and personal training.

5．How did the writer begin this article about AI?

A．By describing its development.

B．By explaining the way it works.

C．By discussing wrong opinions about it.

D．By introducing terms related with it.

6．What does the passage say about cars that use AI?

A．They are still too expensive to use.

B．They may not ensure passengers’ safety.

C．They do not require human operators.

D．They cannot offer comfort and convenience.

7．According to the passage, which people will most probably still have jobs in the future?

A．Those who provide medical care.

B．Those who dig in coal mines.

C．Those who work for railway companies.

D．Those who run recycling centers.

It was summertime. Donna walked into the classroom. “ Good afternoon, everybody !” That was a joke Donna told every day. Usually the class started with only two or three students in the classroom, and then the other students came as the minutes went by.

Donna knew that the students didn’t like studying English. The head teacher had told her the reason. The students thought English was confusing.

Donna waited until all the students were sitting in their seats. She smiled and said, “ Okay, well. Let’s get started. Please turn to Page 36. Today we’re studying participles as adjectives（分词作形容词）. Students often feel confused when they learn about the present and past participles, so we need to practice a lot. Today, we’re just going to practice using present participles as adjectives.” Donna looked at all the blank faces around the classroom. Then she wrote two sentences on the blackboard.

“ The present participle tells us what kind of emotion the subject（主语）is causing. For example, when we say ‘grammar is boring’, we mean that the subject—grammar — causes an emotion of boredom. If we say, ‘The movie is interesting’, we are saying that the movie causes an emotion of interest. Any questions so far ? Is anyone confused ? ”

The classroom was quiet. Donna knew it would take some time for everyone to understand what she was talking about. After a while, Donna got a little excited because she saw looks of understanding on some of the students’ faces.

8．When did the story take place ?

A．On a spring morning. B．On a winter afternoon.

C．On a summer afternoon. D．On an autumn evening.

9．How did Donna explain the usage of present participles as adjectives ?

A．By telling a story. B．By asking questions.

C．By giving examples. D．By showing a movie.

10．Why was the classroom quiet ?

A．Because the students were afraid of Donna.

B．Because Donna asked the students to be quiet.

C．Because the students were doing their homework.

D．Because the students didn’t understand what Donna was saying.

11．From the passage, we can learn that Donna was a____ .

A．teacher B．host C．writer D．reporter

Today, it is a big problem for young people to get fine jobs after they leave university. It is said that there are thousands of different kinds of jobs in the world. But choosing the right one itself often worries young people.

“Finding a job” is not the same as “choosing a job”. Many young people end up in jobs that they are not suitable (合适的) for. Here are a few steps to help you think about jobs which you might enjoy doing after school or university.

First, it is important to know what kind of person you are, which special qualities (品质) make you better than others and what you are interested in. There is a difference between an interest and a skill. If you like art and enjoy looking at pictures, that is an interest. But if you can draw a horse that looks like a horse not a big dog, that is a skill.

Then ask yourself a question, “Of the following three skills-skill with people, skill with information and skill with things, which is my best skill?”

After finding out your best skill, the next step is to research (调查). To find out as many different kinds of jobs as possible, go to the library and read books, magazines and newspapers for information. Ask your friends what they think of the work they do.

The last step is to trust your own ideas and your own thinking! It is your own life, just find the job you really enjoy doing.

12．Paragraph One tells us that it’s ________ to choose a right job.

A．easy B．hard C．necessary D．different

13．Which of the following can be a skill?

A．You do well in computer programming. B．You enjoy playing the guitar.

C．You practice swing dance quite often. D．You collect quite a lot of CDs.

14．What is the structure(结构) of this passage?

A． B． C． D．

15．What’s the purpose(意图) of this passage?

A．To tell people how to choose a suitable job. B．To describe the problems of getting fine jobs.

C．To show the steps of finding out your best skills. D．To explain why choosing fine jobs worries people.

Dear David,

How is everything going? Because of the COVID-I9, all of us live an unusual life. I’m going to share with you what happened to me during the epidemic.

We take our temperature at the school gate when we go to school. In order to better cooperate with the epidemic prevention, we all stay at home after school. If we need to go outside, we will wear masks. Teachers also ask us to keep good healthy habits, such as washing our hands often and doing exercise. We now go to school every day as we used to, but sometimes the homework is done online. There are many courses on the Internet that we can learn online. Now the people of the whole country are working together to prevent the epidemic. I believe we will soon be able to defeat the epidemic.

Hope to hear from you again.

Yours,

Li Hua
