UPS driver Ryan Arens was making a delivery near a pnd in Bzeman, Mntana, when he heard a strange sund. “Like a cry fr help,” he tld the dd. cm, a website fr animal lvers.
It was December 2018, and abut 15 feet frm the frzen banks was the surce f that cry—a half-submerged brwn-and-white wirehaired hund (猎犬), struggling t cling t a thin layer f ice. Hw she gt there n ne knws, but an elderly man was already n the scene, determined t save her. He’d entered the pnd in a rwbat and was hacking away at the ice with a rck t create a path t the dg.
It was slw ging, and Arens, 44, thught he std a better chance. “Animals are my weakness,” he tld the Great Falls Tribune, explaining why he jumped int the water, even thugh the temperature was -30°C, and cmmandeered the rwbat.
His heart thumping, Arens slid clser t the dg and used the ther man’s rck t smash away at the ice. He gave ne strng heave t many and slipped ff the bat, crashing int 16 feet f freezing water. He resurfaced in time t see the dg ging under. Using nervus energy t keep warm, he swam abut five feet tward her, caught hld f her cllar, and pulled her t the ice. He then carried the dg int the bat and slid it back t the shre, where anxius bystanders carried the dg t the hme f the rwbat wner, wh is a retired veterinarian.
Once in the huse himself, Arens jumped int a warm shwer with the dg until they bth defrsted. A few mre minutes in the pnd, the vet tld Arens, and the dg wuld have likely suffered cardiac arrest(心脏骤停).
The next day, Arens was back wrking the same neighbrhd when the dg’s wner came ver t thank him fr saving Sadie. “Wuld yu like t meet her?” he asked. He pened the dr t his pickup, and Sadie rushed ut.
She made a beeline fr Arens, leaping n him and bathing him in wet kisses.
“That special delivery,” says Arens, “was the highlight f my UPS career.”
41 What happened t Arens in December 2018?
A. He came acrss an ld man wh accidentally fell int the frzen pnd.
B. He heard a strange sund but had t make a delivery.
C. He jumped int the icy water and saved a half-submerged dg.

B. the rwbat culdn’t bear the weight f him and the dg
C. he smashed t much ice, making the bat lse its balance.
D. the rwbat crashed int 16 feet f ice

After astnishing breakthrughs in artificial intelligence, many peple wrry that they will be replaced by AI. Glbal Ggle searches fr “is my jb safe?” have dubled in recent mnths, as peple fear that they will be replaced with large language mdels (LLMs). In a recent paper Tyna Elundu f OpenAI and clleagues say that “arund 80% f the US wrkfrce culd have at least10% f their wrk tasks affected by the intrductin fLLMs”.
Ecnmists, hwever, tend t enjy making predictins abut autmatin mre than they enjy testing them. In the early 2010s many f them ludly predicted that rbts wuld kill jbs by the millins, nly t fall silent when emplyment rates acrss the rich wrld rse t all-time highs.
Few f the dm-mngers (末日论者) have a gd explanatin fr why cuntries with the highest rates f tech usage arund the glbe, such as Japan, Singapre and the Republic f Krea, cnsistently have amng the lwest rates f unemplyment.
Here we intrduce ur first attempt at tracking AI’s impact n jbs. Using American data n emplyment by ccupatin, we single ut white-cllar wrkers.
White-cllar rles are thught t be especially sensitive t generative AI, which is becming ever better at lgical reasning and creativity. Hwever, there is as yet little evidence f an AI hit t emplyment. In the spring f 2020 white-cllar jbs rse, as many peple in service ccupatins lst their jb at the start f the Cvid-19pandemic. And in the past year the white-cllar share f emplyment in prfessins thught t be at risk frm generative AI has risen by 0.5%.
Of curse, it’s still early days fr generative AI. Few firms yet use generative Al tls at large scale, s the impact n jbs culd merely be delayed.
Anther pssibility, hwever, is that these new technlgies will end up destrying nly a small number f rles. While Al may be efficient at sme tasks, it may be less gd at thers, such as management and wrking ut what thers need.
AI culd even have a psitive effect n jbs. If wrkers using it becme mre efficient, prfits at their cmpany culd rise which wuld then allw bsses t ram p up hiring.
A recert survey by Experis, an IT-recruitment firm, pints t this pssibility. Mre than half f Britain’s emplyers expect AI technlgies t have a psitive impact n the number f their staff ver the next tw years, it finds.
T see hw it all shakes ut, we will publish updates t this analysis every few mnths. But fr nw, a jb apcalypse seems a lng way ff.
46. In terms f artificial intelligence, peple wrry abut ______.
A. hw t avid being replaced by machines
B. hw t keep up with the trend f technlgy
C. hw t master new technlgical skills
D. hw t earn higher wages by using technlgy
47. Ecnmists’ predictins abut autmatin shw that ______.
A. machines prve t deal a blw t emplyment
B. technlgical breakthrughs bring an ecnmic bm
C. ecnmic theries dn’t wrk well in practice
D. it is difficult t clarify the impact f machines n jbs
48. Accrding t the text, since the spring f 2020, white-cllar jbs ______.
A. have becme mre diverseB. have decreased in number
C. have been threatened by service jbsD. have nt suffered nticeable lsses
49. Hw may artificial intelligence influence emplyment?
A. It may cause mass unemplyment.B. It may create new jbs fr peple.
C. It may enable emplyers t hire mre.D. It may decrease peple’s salaries.
50. What culd be the best title fr the passage?
A. By Cries Wlf: Generative Al is nt yet killing jbs
B Batten Dwn the Hatches: Generative AI will replace mst f human jbs
C. Generative AI: The greatest threat t white-cllar wrkers.
D. Generative AI: The greatest inventin f the 20th century

The effects f “weird weather” were already being felt in the 1960s, but scientists linking fssil fuels with climate change were dismissed as prphets f dm (末日预言家).
In August 1974, the ClA prduced a study n “climatlgical research as it is related t intelligence (情报) prblems”. The diagnsis was dramatic. It warned f the emergence f a new era f weird weather, leading t plitical unrest and mass migratin (which, in turn, wuld cause mre unrest).
The new era the agency imagined wasn’t necessarily ne f htter temperatures; the CIA had heard frm scientists warning f glbal cling as well as warming. But the directin in which the temperature was changing wasn’t their immediate cncern; it was the plitical impact. They knew that the s-called “little ice age”, a series f cld snaps between, rughly, 1350 and 1850, had brught nt nly drught and famine, but als war.
“The climate change began in 1960,” the reprt’s first page infrms us, “but n ne, including the climatlgists, recgnised it.” Crp failures in the Sviet Unin and India in the early 1960s had been attributed t standard unlucky weather. The US shipped grain t India and the Sviets killed ff livestck t eat . But, the reprt argued, the wrld ignred this warning, as the glbal ppulatin cntinued t grw and states made massive investments in energy, technlgy and medicine.
Meanwhile, the weird weather rlled n, shifting t a cllectin f west African cuntries just belw the Sahara. Peple in Mauritania, Senegal, Mali, Burkina Fas, Niger and Chad “became the first victims f the climate change”, the reprt argued, but their suffering was masked by ther struggles r the richer parts f the wrld simply weren’t paying attentin.
As the effects f climate change started t spread t ther parts f the wrld, the early 1970s saw reprt s f drughts, crp failures and flds frm Myanmar, Pakistan, the Demcratic Peple’s Republic f Krea, Csta Rica, Hnduras, Japan, Manila, Ecuadr, USSR, China, India and the US.
51. The climatlgical research by CIA shwed that ______.
A. glbal cling had mre evidence than warming
B. plitical impact was mre unpredictable than climate
C. climate change culd cause cnflicts between cuntries
D. histrical ice age had an impact n future weather
52. Why did the wrld ignre climate change warnings in the 1960s?
A. Because climatlgists lacked equipment fr bservatin.
B. Because crp failures attracted the wrld’s attentin.
C. Because climate change was a natinal secret e f Sviet Unin.
D. Because the wrld was busy develping ecnmy and technlgy.
53. Hw did the wrld respnd t the suffering f the first victims f climate change?
A. The US prvided them with grain t reduce hunger.
B. The rich cuntries failed t ntice their struggle.
C. The wrld praised their curage in the face f weird weather.
D. The African peple migrated t the area near Sahara.
54. Thrughut 1960s and the 1970s, climate warnings were ______.
A. unclear and cnfusingB. widespread and neglected
C. rare and disastrusD. frequent and insignificant
55. What is the purpse f the passage?
A. T infrm peple f the ignred signs f climate changes.
B. T call n peple t prtect the envirnment.
C. T explain why climate changes have effects n plitics.
D. T tell peple hw t prevent weird weather.

·There are mre than 400 sites in the Natinal Park System, thugh that includes far mre than what we traditinally think f as “parks”, such as parkways and rivers, Strictly speaking, there are 63 natinal parks (Califrnia has the mst, with nine), but there are als natinal histric parks, natinal military parks, and ther designatins. A few are thrughly unique. Amng them: the White Huse.
·The Natinal Park Service (NPS) versees all 400+ f these sites. But rules abut what yu can and cannt d in natinal parks differ frm site t site. Activities that are prhibited at natinal parks, such as hunting and fishing, are allwed n sme natinal preserves.

·It was anther president wh created the NPS in 1916; Wdrw Wilsn Parks that predate (早于) the NPS include Ysemite in Califrnia and Munt Rainier in Washingtn. But Yellwstne, which turned 150 this year, was the wrld’s first natinal park. Tday, mre than 100 cuntries have natinal parks and preserves.

UPS driver Ryan Arens was making a delivery near a pnd in Bzeman, Mntana, when he heard a strange sund. “Like a cry fr help,” he tld the dd. cm, a website fr animal lvers.
It was December 2018, and abut 15 feet frm the frzen banks was the surce f that cry—a half-submerged brwn-and-white wirehaired hund (猎犬), struggling t cling t a thin layer f ice. Hw she gt there n ne knws, but an elderly man was already n the scene, determined t save her. He’d entered the pnd in a rwbat and was hacking away at the ice with a rck t create a path t the dg.
It was slw ging, and Arens, 44, thught he std a better chance. “Animals are my weakness,” he tld the Great Falls Tribune, explaining why he jumped int the water, even thugh the temperature was -30°C, and cmmandeered the rwbat.
His heart thumping, Arens slid clser t the dg and used the ther man’s rck t smash away at the ice. He gave ne strng heave t many and slipped ff the bat, crashing int 16 feet f freezing water. He resurfaced in time t see the dg ging under. Using nervus energy t keep warm, he swam abut five feet tward her, caught hld f her cllar, and pulled her t the ice. He then carried the dg int the bat and slid it back t the shre, where anxius bystanders carried the dg t the hme f the rwbat wner, wh is a retired veterinarian.
Once in the huse himself, Arens jumped int a warm shwer with the dg until they bth defrsted. A few mre minutes in the pnd, the vet tld Arens, and the dg wuld have likely suffered cardiac arrest(心脏骤停).
The next day, Arens was back wrking the same neighbrhd when the dg’s wner came ver t thank him fr saving Sadie. “Wuld yu like t meet her?” he asked. He pened the dr t his pickup, and Sadie rushed ut.
She made a beeline fr Arens, leaping n him and bathing him in wet kisses.
“That special delivery,” says Arens, “was the highlight f my UPS career.”

After astnishing breakthrughs in artificial intelligence, many peple wrry that they will be replaced by AI. Glbal Ggle searches fr “is my jb safe?” have dubled in recent mnths, as peple fear that they will be replaced with large language mdels (LLMs). In a recent paper Tyna Elundu f OpenAI and clleagues say that “arund 80% f the US wrkfrce culd have at least10% f their wrk tasks affected by the intrductin fLLMs”.
Ecnmists, hwever, tend t enjy making predictins abut autmatin mre than they enjy testing them. In the early 2010s many f them ludly predicted that rbts wuld kill jbs by the millins, nly t fall silent when emplyment rates acrss the rich wrld rse t all-time highs.
Few f the dm-mngers (末日论者) have a gd explanatin fr why cuntries with the highest rates f tech usage arund the glbe, such as Japan, Singapre and the Republic f Krea, cnsistently have amng the lwest rates f unemplyment.
Here we intrduce ur first attempt at tracking AI’s impact n jbs. Using American data n emplyment by ccupatin, we single ut white-cllar wrkers.
White-cllar rles are thught t be especially sensitive t generative AI, which is becming ever better at lgical reasning and creativity. Hwever, there is as yet little evidence f an AI hit t emplyment. In the spring f 2020 white-cllar jbs rse, as many peple in service ccupatins lst their jb at the start f the Cvid-19pandemic. And in the past year the white-cllar share f emplyment in prfessins thught t be at risk frm generative AI has risen by 0.5%.
Of curse, it’s still early days fr generative AI. Few firms yet use generative Al tls at large scale, s the impact n jbs culd merely be delayed.
Anther pssibility, hwever, is that these new technlgies will end up destrying nly a small number f rles. While Al may be efficient at sme tasks, it may be less gd at thers, such as management and wrking ut what thers need.
AI culd even have a psitive effect n jbs. If wrkers using it becme mre efficient, prfits at their cmpany culd rise which wuld then allw bsses t ram p up hiring.
A recert survey by Experis, an IT-recruitment firm, pints t this pssibility. Mre than half f Britain’s emplyers expect AI technlgies t have a psitive impact n the number f their staff ver the next tw years, it finds.
T see hw it all shakes ut, we will publish updates t this analysis every few mnths. But fr nw, a jb apcalypse seems a lng way ff.
46. In terms f artificial intelligence, peple wrry abut ______.
A. hw t avid being replaced by machines
B. hw t keep up with the trend f technlgy
C. hw t master new technlgical skills
D. hw t earn higher wages by using technlgy
47. Ecnmists’ predictins abut autmatin shw that ______.
A. machines prve t deal a blw t emplyment
B. technlgical breakthrughs bring an ecnmic bm
C. ecnmic theries dn’t wrk well in practice
D. it is difficult t clarify the impact f machines n jbs
48. Accrding t the text, since the spring f 2020, white-cllar jbs ______.
A. have becme mre diverseB. have decreased in number
C. have been threatened by service jbsD. have nt suffered nticeable lsses
49. Hw may artificial intelligence influence emplyment?
A. It may cause mass unemplyment.B. It may create new jbs fr peple.
C. It may enable emplyers t hire mre.D. It may decrease peple’s salaries.
50. What culd be the best title fr the passage?
A. By Cries Wlf: Generative Al is nt yet killing jbs
B Batten Dwn the Hatches: Generative AI will replace mst f human jbs
C. Generative AI: The greatest threat t white-cllar wrkers.
D. Generative AI: The greatest inventin f the 20th century

The effects f “weird weather” were already being felt in the 1960s, but scientists linking fssil fuels with climate change were dismissed as prphets f dm (末日预言家).
In August 1974, the ClA prduced a study n “climatlgical research as it is related t intelligence (情报) prblems”. The diagnsis was dramatic. It warned f the emergence f a new era f weird weather, leading t plitical unrest and mass migratin (which, in turn, wuld cause mre unrest).
The new era the agency imagined wasn’t necessarily ne f htter temperatures; the CIA had heard frm scientists warning f glbal cling as well as warming. But the directin in which the temperature was changing wasn’t their immediate cncern; it was the plitical impact. They knew that the s-called “little ice age”, a series f cld snaps between, rughly, 1350 and 1850, had brught nt nly drught and famine, but als war.
“The climate change began in 1960,” the reprt’s first page infrms us, “but n ne, including the climatlgists, recgnised it.” Crp failures in the Sviet Unin and India in the early 1960s had been attributed t standard unlucky weather. The US shipped grain t India and the Sviets killed ff livestck t eat . But, the reprt argued, the wrld ignred this warning, as the glbal ppulatin cntinued t grw and states made massive investments in energy, technlgy and medicine.
Meanwhile, the weird weather rlled n, shifting t a cllectin f west African cuntries just belw the Sahara. Peple in Mauritania, Senegal, Mali, Burkina Fas, Niger and Chad “became the first victims f the climate change”, the reprt argued, but their suffering was masked by ther struggles r the richer parts f the wrld simply weren’t paying attentin.
As the effects f climate change started t spread t ther parts f the wrld, the early 1970s saw reprt s f drughts, crp failures and flds frm Myanmar, Pakistan, the Demcratic Peple’s Republic f Krea, Csta Rica, Hnduras, Japan, Manila, Ecuadr, USSR, China, India and the US.
51. The climatlgical research by CIA shwed that ______.
A. glbal cling had mre evidence than warming
B. plitical impact was mre unpredictable than climate
C. climate change culd cause cnflicts between cuntries
D. histrical ice age had an impact n future weather
52. Why did the wrld ignre climate change warnings in the 1960s?
A. Because climatlgists lacked equipment fr bservatin.
B. Because crp failures attracted the wrld’s attentin.
C. Because climate change was a natinal secret e f Sviet Unin.
D. Because the wrld was busy develping ecnmy and technlgy.
53. Hw did the wrld respnd t the suffering f the first victims f climate change?
A. The US prvided them with grain t reduce hunger.
B. The rich cuntries failed t ntice their struggle.
C. The wrld praised their curage in the face f weird weather.
D. The African peple migrated t the area near Sahara.
54. Thrughut 1960s and the 1970s, climate warnings were ______.
A. unclear and cnfusingB. widespread and neglected
C. rare and disastrusD. frequent and insignificant
55. What is the purpse f the passage?
A. T infrm peple f the ignred signs f climate changes.
B. T call n peple t prtect the envirnment.
C. T explain why climate changes have effects n plitics.
D. T tell peple hw t prevent weird weather.
