Microsoft won't renew the contracts for dozens of news production contractors working at its MSN website and plans to use AI to replace them.
The roughly 50 employees were informed that their services would no longer be needed beyond June 30, but a team of full-time journalists will remain.
The Microsoft spokesman said in a statement, “Like all companies, we analyze and make judgments on our activities and services on a regular basis. This can result in increased investment in some places and, from time to time,rearrangement in others.These decisions are not the result of the current pandemic.”
MSN will use AI to replace the production work its journalists had been doing. That work includes using an automated system to identify trending news stories from dozens of publishing partners and to help improve the content by rewriting headlines or adding better accompanying photographs or slide shows.
“I spend all my time reading about how automation and AI are going to take all our jobs-now it's taken mine, one of the terminated contractors said. “But with fewer human beings to monitor the technology, AI may not be fully familiar with strict editorial guidelines and could end up letting through inappropriate stories."
MSN has undergone a number of changes since its Launch as Microsoft Network in 1995. Once ii offered original content and links to news, weather and sports. In 2013, it seduced original news content and began cutting employees. By 2014. it launched a redesigned version that partnered with other news sites - paying them to redistribute their content. Today, the news service relies entirely on those partnerships with no original news content of its own. Selecting and editing stories rather than actually generating them made it easier for MSN to increasingly rely on an automated editing system.
4. What is happening at Microsoft
A. More people are being employed to develop .
B. Some workers are being fired and replaced by Al.
C. Robots are being used to write news reports for MSN.
D. It is signing new contracts with some workers at MSN.

A. scheduled
B. informed.
C. involved.
D. dismissed.
7. Which best describes how MSN works now

Constant notifications(通知)on your phone. TV news specials in place of your favourite sports show. WhatsApp and Messenger full of COVID-19 articles your out-of-touch aunt just “had to share”.Sound familiar If our daily news intake was counted in calories, many of us would have put on even more weight in recent months.
While audience numbers for network television news shows remain much higher than usual in many countries, ratings are, in some places, starting to decrease. In the UK, news shows have recorded their lowest audience figures since the country went into lockdown. The Nieman Journalism Lab, part of Harvard University, recently reported that “news traffic to news sites, both in the US and around the world, is pretty much back to pre-coronavirus levels”.
There are also many people who are finding themselves consumed by the news cycle mole than usual. Journalists,communications professionals, doctors, scientist and,most recently. disinfectant (消毒剂) producers are among those having to stay on top of daily comments and data in a way they've never previously experience. For many, this is happening while they are working from home and managing blurred(模糊的)boundaries between their work and private lives.
So how should we balance news fatigue and anxiety with the need to remain informed on the latest news during the crisis John-Paul Davies. a London-based expert, argues that for most of us, checking the headlines once a day is a sensible goal. This could be reduced to once a week for those with high levels of anxiety. He says it is also important to select “a trusted news site' or radio station with a focus on “facts rather than guesses”.
For those whose work is connected to the coronavirus crisis, experts accept it may be much harder to reduce news consumption. But John-Paul Davies says it's still important to make an effort to “put boundaries” around how much information you watch or read. Liz Martin, a therapist based in London, recommends regular digital check-ins with workmates doing similar roles. “It's really important to be a support to one another,” she argues.

It may be the holiday season, but the spirit of peace and good will has not infected the streets of Los Angeles. More drivers seem to be rolling through stop signs and running red lights than ever before. Everyone seems to be in a terrible hurry.
Why is everyone in such a hurry Where are they rushing to
I think perhaps the answer lies in answering this question: What does that round of parties and meeting and mad rushing from place to place allow all of us to avoid confronting T think the answer is clear- ourselves.
There is an experiment where subjects had to choose between being alone with themselves and their thoughts for approximately 15 minutes and receiving electric shocks. The majority chose the shocks-a reflection of how painful frightening,threatening,confusing,boring(!),you name it... we find being alone with just ourselves and our thoughts.
Our desire not to be with our innermost thoughts is so great that we create and find distractions. In the car, we can make phone calls or listen to music. We live in a world of endless opportunities for distraction.
I understand the desire. Life is hard. Growing is a painfully slow process. To keep moving requires determination and strength - and giving up seems so much easier (as do those electric shocks!) We may win some battles, but the war is never over. Sometimes we arc just too tired to fight and just need that music or that book to relax. I just instinctively(本能地）tun on the radio when I get in the car; I don't even give the quiet a moment to sink in.
But it's time for a reality check; otherwise we slip into an avoidance mode. It's challenging. But let's make a change. Instead of rushing from house to car to meeting to groceries to... let's take a moment to stop and think before each activity. What do I want to achieve now And what is the best way to do that Maybe I could think of ways to grow.
12. Why does the author mention drivers on the streets of Los Angeles
A. To describe a strong holiday atmosphere.
B. To present a unique social situation in America.
C To raise his question on why people are in a rush.
D. To show that it's time to improve road safety in America.
13. Why did the majority of subjects choose electric shocks
A. They found the innermost thoughts great.
B. They enjoyed being alone with themselves.
C. They refused painful and threatening distractions.
D. They wanted to find opportunities for distraction.
14. What does the author think of the people who chose the shocks in.the experiment
A. They should be more courageous.
B. Their attitude to life was unexpected.
C. Their behavior was understandable.
D. They should refuse to take part in the experiment
15. What's the best title of the text
A. Fighting distractions.
B. Being with ourselves.
C. Reviewing our mistakes.
D. Rushing from place to place

When you're studying a new language it only makes sense that you shouldn't only stick to boring old prose(散文)．Foreign language poetry is ____38____ fantastic resource for learners of all levels.
Poetry allows writers ____39____ (toy) with the standards of grammar and generally change the rules of language a bit or a lot. You can learn a great deal about a language by the ways its speakers have turned its syllables(音节)and words ____40____ lines.
Poetry comes in a ____41____(vary) of genes (体裁)and structures, so generalizing about it is sort of unfair to the art form itself. But there are certain universal ____42____ (aspect) of poetry that make it an idea tool for leaning a new language in creative ways across languages.
Perhaps the most notable difference ____43____set a poem apart is that it's often not as long-winded as a passage from a book might be. It's much ____44____(easy) to motivate yourself with a short poem every day than it is with part of a 500-page book you are afraid of opening because you fear you can't ____45____(possible) finish it.

Any day that I had to go to the airport was the worst day of my life, and as a traveling appliance salesman, I had to fly quite a bit. On this particular day in 2010. 1 was assigned to a middle seat. Back then, I was so fat that I couldn't fit down the aisle (走廊） facing forward,so I was forced to walk sideways like a crab. I weighed between 340 and 360 pounds; the exact figure depended on whether I measured my weight before or after one of my enormous meals. When I finally squeezed into my seat, the seat belt wasn't long enough to fit around my 52-inch waist.They never were.
I woke up the next morning knowing that I needed to change. I started looking for signs that might lead me toward a better life and immediately a sign showed up. I turned on the TV and happened to catch an interview with former president Bill Clinton. He said he'd been under the care of a doctor who put him on a whole-food, plant-based diet. He lost weight without feeling hungry, and he was healthier and stronger than he'd been since his twenties. I never imagined my sign would come from Bill Clinton, but there he was.
I had no idea what a “whole-food, plant-based diet” was. I went online and searched for a doctor who could help me. That's when I found Preeti. 1 felt hopeful when she agreed to see me the next day. The doctor recommended a low calorie diet and suggested some moderate exercises I could do in my home. She also suggested that I go to a shelter and adopt a dog.“Exercise ”I asked, “A dog " I couldn't believe what I heard.But, she said. “A dog is a good companion. Plus, you live in an apartment. which means the dog has to be walked. So if you walk your dog twice a day,that will be your exercise."
Paragraph 1:
With doubts and hesitation, I drove up to a dog sheller near where I lived.

(在英国，新闻节目的观众数量创下了该国进入封锁以来的最低水平。哈佛大学下属的尼曼新闻实验室最近报告称“美国和世界各地新闻网站的新闻流量几乎回到了冠状病毒爆发前的水平”)”可知，第二段一开始就指出新闻信息变多的现象，接着开始以英国的媒体为例子来论证。因此，第二段主要是A项“By giving examples. (举例说明)”发展的。故选A项。

It may be the holiday season, but the spirit of peace and good will has not infected the streets of Los Angeles. More drivers seem to be rolling through stop signs and running red lights than ever before. Everyone seems to be in a terrible hurry.
Why is everyone in such a hurry Where are they rushing to
I think perhaps the answer lies in answering this question: What does that round of parties and meeting and mad rushing from place to place allow all of us to avoid confronting T think the answer is clear- ourselves.
There is an experiment where subjects had to choose between being alone with themselves and their thoughts for approximately 15 minutes and receiving electric shocks. The majority chose the shocks-a reflection of how painful, frightening,threatening,confusing,boring(!),you name it... we find being alone with just ourselves and our thoughts.
Our desire not to be with our innermost thoughts is so great that we create and find distractions. In the car, we can make phone calls or listen to music. We live in a world of endless opportunities for distraction.
I understand the desire. Life is hard. Growing is a painfully slow process. To keep moving requires determination and strength - and giving up seems so much easier (as do those electric shocks!) We may win some battles, but the war is never over. Sometimes we arc just too tired to fight and just need that music or that book to relax. I just instinctively(本能地）tun on the radio when I get in the car; I don't even give the quiet a moment to sink in.
But it's time for a reality check; otherwise we slip into an avoidance mode. It's challenging. But let's make a change. Instead of rushing from house to car to meeting to groceries to... let's take a moment to stop and think before each activity. What do I want to achieve now And what is the best way to do that Maybe I could think of ways to grow.

【14题详解】
观点态度题。根据第六段前三句“I understand the desire. Life is hard. Growing is a painfully slow process. To keep moving requires determination and strength - and giving up seems so much easier (as do those electric shocks!) ”）（我理解这种愿望。生活是艰难的。成长是一个痛苦而缓慢的过程。继续前进需要决心和力量——放弃似乎要容易得多（就像那些电击一样！）），可知作者对实验中选择电击的人有何看法是：他们的行为是可以理解的。故选C。

What do I want to achieve now And what is the best way to do that Maybe I could think of ways to grow.”（但现在是时候进行现实检查了，否则我们就进入了回避模式。这是很有挑战性的。但是让我们做一个改变。不要匆忙地从家里到车里去，到商店去吃饭。……让我们花一点时间在每次活动前停下来思考一下。我现在想做什么？最好的办法是什么？也许我能想出成长的办法。）可知全文主要讲的还是人们如何对待自我，对待独处。可知B选项（和我们自己在一起。）最合适。故选B。

【36题详解】

【37题详解】
考查时态。句意：无论你是在努力学习以成为华兹华斯那样的人，还是还没有发现自己内在的文学才华，都很难忽视到目前为止诗歌在书面语言和口头语言发展中所起的作用。空处为宾语从句为谓语动词，结合语境和时间状语so far判断为现在完成时，主语a role是单数，助动词用has。故填has played。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意：外语诗歌是各级学习者的绝佳资源。resource“资源”是可数名词，此处为泛指一种，应用不定冠词，且fantastic的发音是以辅音音素开头，应用a。故填a。
【39题详解】

【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：也许使一首诗与众不同的最显著的区别在于它通常不像一本书中的一段那么冗长。空处引导定语从句，先行词difference指物，且被最高级修饰，从句缺少主语，应用关系代词that。故填that。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意：每天用一首小诗来激励自己要比读一本500页的书容易得多，因为你害怕自己无法读完它。空处应用形容词作表语，结合空前much和后文than可知，应用其比较级。故填easier。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意：每天用一首小诗来激励自己要比读一本500页的书容易得多，因为你害怕自己无法读完它。修饰动词finish应用副词。故填possibly。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
Any day that I had to go to the airport was the worst day of my life, and as a traveling appliance salesman, I had to fly quite a bit. On this particular day in 2010. 1 was assigned to a middle seat. Back then, I was so fat that I couldn't fit down the aisle (走廊） facing forward,so I was forced to walk sideways like a crab. I weighed between 340 and 360 pounds; the exact figure depended on whether I measured my weight before or after one of my enormous meals. When I finally squeezed into my seat, the seat belt wasn't long enough to fit around my 52-inch waist.They never were.
I woke up the next morning knowing that I needed to change. I started looking for signs that might lead me toward a better life and immediately a sign showed up. I turned on the TV and happened to catch an interview with former president Bill Clinton. He said he'd been under the care of a doctor who put him on a whole-food, plant-based diet. He lost weight without feeling hungry, and he was healthier and stronger than he'd been since his twenties. I never imagined my sign would come from Bill Clinton, but there he was.
I had no idea what a “whole-food, plant-based diet” was. I went online and searched for a doctor who could help me. That's when I found Preeti. 1 felt hopeful when she agreed to see me the next day. The doctor recommended a low calorie diet and suggested some moderate exercises I could do in my home. She also suggested that I go to a shelter and adopt a dog.“Exercise ”I asked, “A dog " I couldn't believe what I heard.But, she said. “A dog is a good companion. Plus, you live in an apartment. which means the dog has to be walked. So if you walk your dog twice a day,that will be your exercise."
Paragraph 1:
With doubts and hesitation, I drove up to a dog sheller near where I lived.

Paragraph 2:
I came back home with the large black and-white dog with a big round body.

【答案】范文：
Para 1:
With doubt and hesitation, I drove up to a dog shelter near where I lived.Upon opening the door， I was amazed to see various types of dogs: Poodle， Husky， Samoyed .. Though abandoned， they all appeared clean and energetic. Seeing a stranger approaching, they kept barking, alert but curious. I was torn between a Poodle with golden fur and a Husky wagging its tail when a large black-and-white dog dozing in the corner caught my attention. His round body immediately reminded me of my size and what Preeti said-A dog is a good companion. I knew he was perfect for me.
Para 2:
I came back home with the large black-and-white dog with a big round body. I named him David, who often lay motionless on the floor and yawned with eyes half-closed. Though a bit discouraged, I was determined to change both of us. Soon, I found a ball, dragged David to the park and threw it at him.
