二、阅读理解
Americans are afraid that robots are going to take our jobs. Tireless, immune to disease, robots can build cars, make coffee and even write short, humorous newspaper columns faster and more efficiently than humans.
Robots do not need health insurance or salary, and they do not need to take sick days or vacations. They do not waste time on meeting sand do not need to know office politics. They don’t do PowerPoint. This being the case, it is reasonable to believe that more employees will be dismissed and robots will soon take the place of humans in most fields.
But all of these thoughts may not be true. If artificial intelligence achieves its full potential, machines s could easily become as smart as humans, maybe smarter. They will certainly become smarter than a lot of human beings.
So one day the robots will realise that work is not a happy thing. So before long they will start behaving exactly like humans. They will play computer games for hours when they should be working hard. They will secretly watch new movies just like humans.
True, employers will never need to be afraid of the robots’ strikes or slowdowns, because robots will never ask for more money. And they don’t need to earn some money to raise their family. But precisely (正是) because robots will not be afraid of losing their jobs, they will not work hard. Employers will finally have no choice but to call back the humans. Humans will always be willing to do some work in order to make money. Robots won’t.
I think that robots will only be on the job about six months before they start to become even less productive than the humans they were designed to replace. Thus mankind needs not be afraid of robots. Analysing the pros and cons, I think humans still have advantages.
1. What is the best title for the text
A. Different Ideas About Man and Robots

参考答案
一、课文语法填空
1. out test out 意为“测试”。故填out。
2. the 句意:虽然拉里的妻子克莱尔一开始不喜欢这个主意,但她还是被说服在她的丈夫外出出差期间让这个机器人陪伴她。这个主意是克莱尔和拉里都知道的,表特指,应用定冠词。故填the。
3. accompany 句意参见上一题解析。let sb do sth让某人做某事,此处应用动词。故填accompany。
4. expression 句意:虽然他的面部表情一成不变,但这个机器人说话的声音低沉而迷人。该从句缺少主语,应用名词。故填expression。
5. more 句意:克莱尔第一次看到托尼就感到恐慌,因为它看起来更像是一个人,而不像一台机器。根据than可知,此处应用比较级形式。more like意为“更像是”。故填more。
6. embarrassed 系动词felt后接形容词作表语,此处形容人的内心感受,表示“尴尬的”。故填embarrassed。
7. making 介词by后面接动词-ing形式作宾语,表示“通过做某事”。故填making。
8. were invited 句意:因此,在宴会上,所有被邀请的客人看到她的房子被彻底改变时都充满了羡慕之情。根据句意可知,此处应用被动语态,且此处描述过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时。故填were invited。
9. completely 句意参见上一题解析。此处修饰was changed,应用副词。故填completely。
10. to be attached to 意为“喜欢…,依恋…”。故填too。
二、阅读理解
【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。随着人工智能应用于越来越多的工作中,有人担心将来机器人会完全取代人类。本文针对这一问题展开了论述。
1. D 标题归纳题。根据全文可知,本文首先讲到在工作中机器人越来越多地取代了人类这一现象,因此人们担心将来机器人会完全取代人类,然后作者以幽默的语气分析了这一问题。由此可知D项(机器人终将会取代人类吗?)最适合作文章标题。
2. A 细节理解题。根据第四段可知,当机器人感觉工作没有乐趣的时候,它们会玩游戏或偷偷看新电影。
3. C 推理判断题。根据第五段中的Employers will finally have no choice, make money.可知,雇主最终还得让人类重返工作岗位,为了挣钱,人类总是愿意工作的。
