A
(2023·河北张家口段考)
I’m rather good at using maps.But I forgot the maps and here we were，late afternoon，last day of vacation，my daughter，my cousin and I，driving along a two-lane highway in Oregon.No other car in sight，and the sun had just gone down.Where was that sweet little village
It was supposed to be right along this river.We drove on，farther into the unknown，river always on the left as our guide.We kept passing farms and fields and now a few lights were coming out.In my head，I was doing a lot of self-criticism：Why didn’t we start earlier，bring the map and drive on and on？My cousin and I were both impatient and stressed.My daughter，at least，was happy in the back seat，text-messaging a friend.I pulled up on the shoulder of the road to think.
Just then—WOW！Amazing！A new scene had appeared.Where did it come from
Right there，out of nowhere：a magical misty landscape.Fields stretched in silent purples，with rows of tall trees，darkening in the dusk.I turned the car engine off.All was silent in the hot summer air.Beside us，a plum-colored river hardly moved between a border of trees，its dark lazy water reflecting the last light of day.
How breathtaking！Where had it been？If I had seen even a bit of this beauty while driving along，I could have stopped and taken a look.I had missed it all.
We miss a lot，almost everything，in fact，in our world.Our task-focused filters(过滤器) take care of that，selecting only what we need.We need to get to work.Have some lunch.We see what we need to see，often for the purpose of survival.Gregory Bateson，speaking of beauty，said aesthetic judgment is selection of a fact.In our daily lives，who or what is doing the selecting？Can we make a change？Can we see further

Now，an increasing number of cities are stopping using recycling services，partly out of fear that workers might contact the coronavirus from one another while sorting through used water bottles，food containers and boxes.One solution：Let robots do the job.
Since the coronavirus took hold in the United States last month，AMP Robotics has seen a “significant”increase in orders for its robots that use artificial intelligence to sort through recycled material，and weed out trash.Some facilities that were looking at getting one or two robots are now saying，“We need quite a bit more.”The Colorado company’s chief executive，Matanya Horowitz said，“It’s all moving quite fast.”
Before the pandemic，automation(自动化) had been gradually replacing human work in a range of jobs，from call centers to warehouses and grocery stores，as companies looked to cut labor costs and improve profit.
But labor and robotics experts say social-distancing directives，which are likely to continue in some form after the crisis becomes less strong，could cause more industries to accelerate their use of automation.And long-lasting worries about job losses or a broad unease about having machines control vital aspects of daily life could disappear as society sees the benefits of restructuring workplaces in ways that minimize close human contact.
Recycling is one industry that may be altered permanently by the pandemic.Some workers，who earn as little as $10 an hour，have been concerned about coming to work during the crisis and some cities have been competing to find enough protective gear(防护装备) for all of their employees.Federal health officials have assured them that the risks of transmission from household refuse is low.But workers in recycling facilities often work side by side sorting material，making social distancing difficult.
At AMP Robotics，executives like Mr Horowitz say their robots will enable recycling facilities to space out their employees，who stand at conveyor belts(传送带) weeding through the used plastic and paper.

6．What’s people’s attitude to automation after the pandemic
A．Panicked. B．Doubtful.
C．Appreciative. D．Unconcerned.

7．In which aspect will robots help most in recycling industry
A．Sorting out recycled material.
B．Minimizing close human contact.
C．Replacing the jobs of cheap labor.
D．Producing enough protective gear.
答案 B

8．What’s the best title of the passage
A．Pandemic Accelerates Automation
B．Robots Cause Severe Unemployment
C．Recycling Industry Is Changing
D．Social Distancing Is Still Important
