Reading Comprehension (45%) Section A 每题每题 1 分分 1*10=10 分分 Directions：For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases mar

29、ked A, B, C, and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Microsoft Corp founder Bill Gates caught peoples eye in a recent interview, when he suggested that robots should be taxed in order to help humans keep their jobs. Gates is only one of many people in the tech w

30、orld who have worried about _41_ and its threat to workers. Its easy to see why the tech world is _42_. The rise of machine learning has increased the fear that _43_ humans could simply become out of date-_44_, 3.5 million American truck drivers might soon find their jobs threatened by driverless tr

31、ucks. Though in the past, technology usually complemented workers _45_ replacing them, theres no law of nature (自然法则) saying the technology of the future will work the same. A few economists even claim that cheap automation has already _46_ income from workers to company owners. Another _47_ is that

32、 even if the mass of humanity ultimately does find new ways to add value by complementing new technologyto race with the machines,” as economist Erik Brynjofsson puts itthis transition could take a long time and hurt a lot of people. As Bloomberg Views Tyler Cowen has noted, wages in Britain fell fo

33、r four decades at the start of the Industrial Revolution. More _48_, weve seen very slow and painful adjustment to the impact of globalization. If the machine learning revolution hurts workers for 40 years before ultimately helping them, it might be worth it to _49_ that revolution and give them tim

34、e to adjust. The main argument against taxing the robots is that it might hold back _50_. Growth in rich countries has slowed markedly in the past decade, suggesting that its getting harder and harder to find new ways of doing things. Stagnating(停滞的) productivity, combined with falling business inve

35、stment, suggests that _51_ of new technology is currently too slow rather than too fast-the biggest problem right now isnt too many robots, its too few. Taxing new technology, however its done, could make that slowdown worse. 4 The problem with Gates basic _52_ is that its very hard to tell the diff

36、erence between new technology that complement humans and new technology that replaces them. This is especially true over the long term. Power looms（织布机）replaced human weavers back in the Industrial Revolution. _53_, people eventually became more productive, by learning to operate those looms. If tax

37、es had slowed the development of power looms, the eventual (最终的) improvements would have come later. This is a powerful argument _54_ the taxation of automation. Gates is right to say that we should start thinking ahead of time about how to use policy to mitigate（缓和）the unintended consequences of au

38、tomation. But given the importance of sustaining innovation, we should look at _55_ policies. 41. A. sanitation B. automation C. meditation D. dedication 42. A. furious B. worried C. intolerant D. thrilling 43. A. few B. several C. many D. any 44. A. in other words B. for example C. of course D. by

39、contrast 45. A. in case of B. because of C. in face of D. instead of 46. A. distracted B. perceived C. prompted D. swallowed 47. A. panic B. empathy C. adjustment D. vision 48. A. possibly B. recently C. primarily D. normally 49. A. slow down B. bring up C. burn out D. light up 50. A. modernism B. s

42、you have just read. （A） I remember meeting him one evening with his pushcart. I had managed to sell all my papers and was coming home in the snow. It was that strange hour in downtown New York when the workers were pouring homeward in the twilight. I marched among thousands of tired men and women wh

43、om the factory whistles had unyoked. They flowed in rivers through the clothing factory districts, then down along the avenues to the East Side. I met my father near Cooper Union. I recognized him, a hunched, frozen figure in an old overcoat standing by a banana cart. He looked so lonely, the tears

44、came to my eyes. Then he saw me, and his face lit with his sad, beautiful smile-Charlie Chaplins smile. Arch, its Mikey, he said. So you have sold your papers! Come and eat a banana. He offered me one. I refused it. I felt it crucial that my father sell his bananas, not give them away. He thought I

45、was shy, and coaxed and joked with me, and made me eat the banana. It smelled of wet straw and snow. You havent sold many bananas today, pop, I said anxiously. He shrugged his shoulders. What can I do? No one seems to want them. It was true. The work crowds pushed home morosely（愁眉苦脸的）over the paveme

46、nts. The rusty sky darkened over New York buildings, the tall street lamps were lit, innumerable trucks, street cars and elevated trains clattered by. Nobody and nothing in the great city stopped for my fathers bananas. I ought to yell, said my father dolefully. I ought to make a big noise like othe

47、r vendors, but it makes my throat sore. 5 Anyway, Im ashamed of yelling, it makes me feel like a fool. I had eaten one of his bananas. My sick conscience told me that I ought to pay for it somehow. I must remain here and help my father. Ill yell for you, pop, I volunteered. Arch, no, he said, go hom

48、e; you have worked enough today. Just tell momma Ill be late. But I yelled and yelled. My father, standing by, spoke occasional words of praise, and said I was a wonderful yeller. Nobody else paid attention. The workers drifted past us wearily, endlessly; a defeated army wrapped in dreams of home. E

49、levated trains crashed; the Cooper Union clock burned above us; the sky grew black, the wind poured, the slush burned through our shoes. There were thousands of strange, silent figures pouring over the sidewalks in snow. None of them stopped to buy bananas. I yelled and yelled, nobody listened. My f

50、ather tried to stop me at last. “Nu,” he said smiling to console me,” that was wonderful yelling, Mikey. But its plain we are unlucky today! Lets go home.” I was frantic, and almost in tears. I insisted on keeping up my desperate yells. But at last my father persuaded me to leave with him. 56. “Unyo
