7．阅读理解
Over the next decade, technology will decimate more jobs in many professions.
Some robots already cost less to operate than the salaries of the humans they replace, and they are getting cheaper. Boston Consulting Group predicts that, by 2025, the operating cost of a robot that does welding (焊接) will be less than $2 per hour, for example. That's more affordable than the $25 per hour that a human welder earns today in America.
Uber and many other companies are working on developing cars and trucks that don't need a driver in the driver's seat. According to the American Trucking Associations, approximately 3 million truck drivers were employed in the United States in 2010, and 6. 8 million others were employed in other jobs relating to trucking activity. So roughly one of every 15 workers in the country is employed in the trucking business. We could be talking about millions of jobs disappearing in the early 2020s.
And then there is the "Gig Economy (零工经济)" that has some businesses moving toward part-time, on-demand employment. Uber has already done this to taxi drivers, and other technology companies are doing it to a wide range of jobs. A study by Intuit predicted that, by 2020, 40% of American workers will be self-employed, and that full-time jobs will be harder to find. We are talking about 60 million people in this category. The problem is that not only do such part-time workers lack reliable full-time jobs and sick pay, but they can't enjoy health insurance and longer-term benefits.
The measures to be taken are to raise trade barriers. But closing the doors to foreign trade won't bring jobs back. It will only slow the global economy and hurt American exports, shrinking the U. S. economy and accelerating job loss.
（1）The underlined word "decimate" in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by "______".
A. make someone interested in
B. equip someone for
C. wipe out
D. bring back （2）What will happen with technologies developing according to the text?
A. Robots will become smarter and smarter.
B. Uber's labor cost will be lower and lower.
C. More and more truck drivers will be needed.
D. Taxi drivers can enjoy more health insurance.
（3）Which of the following is an advantage of a full-time job?
A. It may be flexible.
B. It may offer sick pay.
C. It is full of adventure.
D. It is always well-paid.
（4）Which of the following does the writer agree on?
A. Welcoming foreign trade.
B. Offering more part-time jobs.
C. Using fewer robots to stop job loss.
D. Developing more new technologies.
（5）What's the writer's main purpose in writing the text?
A. To show technology advances in our daily life.
B. To prove technologies cause low incomes.
C. To introduce what the Gig Economy is.
D. To warn the Gig Economy is coming.
【答案】（1）C
（2）B
（3）B
（4）A
（5）D
【解析】【分析】短文大意：本文主要介绍了随着技术进步，很多公司使用更多的机器人，不再需要很多全职工人，零工经济时代很快就会到来，并举出Uber公司的例子加以说明。

（1）词义猜测题。

根据第二段第一句"Some robots already cost less to operate than the salaries of the humans they replace, and they are getting cheaper. "可知机器人的成本比人力更便宜，未来很多公司会更多使用机器人。

也就是说机器人会夺走很多人的工作，故C项正确。

（2）推理判断题。

根据第三段第一句"Uber and many other companies are working on developing cars and trucks that don't need a driver in the driver's seat. "可知Uber公司开发了无人驾驶技术，会大大地减少雇佣司机的工资付出，公司的运营成本会越来越低。

故B项正确。

（3）推理判断题。

根据第四段最后一句"The problem is that not only do such part-time workers lack reliable full-time jobs and sick pay, but they can't enjoy health insurance and longer-term benefits. "可知兼职工作的人无法享受生病工资，也就是说全职工作的人可以享受sick pay，这也是全职工作的优势，故B项正确。

（4）推理判断题。

根据文章最后一句"But closing the doors to foreign trade won't bring jobs back. It will only slow the global economy and hurt American exports, shrinking the U. S. economy and accelerating job loss. "可知作者认为关闭对外贸易并不能让工作机会回归，只会减缓全球经济发展并伤害美国的出口。

由此可见作者支持对外贸易。

故A项正确。

（5）推理判断题。

根据文章前两段可知技术进步让公司使用更多的机器人，不再需要很多全职工人。

再根据第四段第一句"And then there is the "Gig Economy (零工经济)" that has some businesses moving toward part-time, on-demand employment. "可知零工经济时代很快就会到来。

故D项正确。

【点评】考查阅读理解。

本文词义猜测题和推理判断题两种常考题型，词义猜测题要注意理解划线词汇所在语境需要表达的意思；推理判断题需要联系上下文，推断出需要的信息。

9．阅读理解
Loud cheers and applause broke out at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab on Monday, November 25, 2018, as the unmanned lander, called Insight, touched down on Mars, after nearly seven years from design to launch to landing.
The great arrival of the spacecraft-designed to listen for quakes and shakes as a way to discover the Red Planet's inner secrets, how it formed billions of years ago and, how other planets like Earth took shape-marked the eighth successful landing on Mars in Nasa's history.
Minutes after InSight landed on the surface of Mars, the first image was sent back, showing a wide flat area as seen through a dirty camera.
The touchdown came after a nearly seven-month, 300 million-mile travel from Earth to Mars, during which the InSight spacecraft had to slow down from a speed of more than 12,000 mph. The spacecraft's heat shelter helped the lander survive temperatures as high as 2,700℉.
Each step along the way was watched nervously at JPL, with updates delayed by the eight-minute light travel time between Earth and Mars. Mission controllers hugged each other with joy when the signals were received. "We are proud of everything that has gone on today," they told us reporters.
The first picture of the surface of Mars was sent back to Earth by one of the MarCO nanosatellites (马可纳米卫星) that accompanied InSight during its travel to Mars. The dust from the landing made the view unclear. Pictures from it were expected to be clearer once the dust settled and the lens cover (镜头盖) was removed.
Hours later, InSight's batteries were charging as expected. The InSight team also passed on another picture, taken by a different camera that's fixed on the lander's robotic arm. The view is clearer, showing the robotic arm and the seismometer, which is used to discover the actual movement of the ground.
（1）What do we know about InSight lander from the passage?
A. It has landed successfully on Mars eight times.
B. It travelled all the way at the speed of 12,000 mph.
C. Mission controllers helped it survive high temperature.
D. The task of it is to find out the inner mysteries of Mars.
（2）We know what Mars looks like by .
A. studying pictures InSight lander sends back
B. reading reports sent back by the person on Mars
C. collecting images sent back by MarCO nanosatellites
D. analyzing information the robot on InSight lander sends back
（3）How did the mission controllers feel when they received signals from Insight?
A. Unconcerned.
B. Worried.
C. Amazed.
D. Excited.
（4）The passage is most probably taken from .
A. a fiction novel
B. a news report
C. a travel magazine
D. an official statement
【答案】（1）D
（2）C
（3）D
（4）B

How was your day today? If it was just sort of OK, with nothing much happening, then Scott Shaffer wants to hear from you. Mr Shaffer is the editor of the Journal of Mundane Behaviour. "We can learn a lot about the way that society works by examining normal patterns of behavior," he says. "All the ordinary decisions we make and ordinary things we do are society in action." The idea that social scientists should "study the unmarked", in Mr Shaffer's words, has also spread to historians. Traditionally, most history has been written as the story of greatness. It is all about great ideas, great people and great economic and social forces changing the way that millions of people live for ever. Albert Einstein's theory of relativity changed the way that we look at the universe. But has he been of more benefit to humanity than the unknown person who invented the first really comfortable shoe? Try thinking great thoughts when your feet hurt.
In recent years, books of micro-history have been a great success with the public. Most micro historians like to relate their subject to wider developments in society. According to historian Catherine Gallagher, the potato was once a matter of great argument. Supporters pointed out that it could grow cheaply and easily and help feed the poor. Opponents said that this would lead
to the poor becoming more powerful, since they did not have to spend every hour working to feed themselves. It seems that European socialism started with an argument about vegetables. British historian Colin Jones wants us to look at pictures painted hundreds of years ago. He wants us to notice the fact that nobody smiles in these pictures. Compare that with today, when everyone smiles for the camera and refusing to smile is seen as an unfriendly act. It is all because of dentistry, he says. Once people were able to look after their teeth, they began to smile and the world became a happier place.
Whether stories like this are true or not, they put ordinary people at the center of history. Most of us are not going to change the world in a big way. But we might be able to do something that makes life a bit easier for other people. And maybe one day a historian will come along and write the story. It is something to get excited about, though perhaps not very excited.

根据第一段中的“All the ordinary decisions we make and ordinary things we do are society in action.”及第二段中的“But has he been of more benefit to humanity than the unknown person who invented the first really comfortable shoe? Try thinking great thoughts when your feet hurt.”可知第一个发明舒适的鞋的未知人的重要性。

作者以此来印证普通人和普通人的想法的重要性。

故选A。

（2）考查推理判断。

根据第三段中的“According to historian Catherine Gallagher, the potato was once a matter of great argument. ”以及“ It seems that European socialism started with an argument about vegetables.” 可知作者在文中提到了potato,而恰恰是对potato的讨论带来了社会的变革。

故选D。
