They are concerned that machines. Including robots, will take over work now done by humans. The

11、se findings come from a new report by the Pew Research Center of Washington DCAbout 75 percent of Americans questioned by Pew said automation will increase income inequality between the rich and the middle class and the poor. And 64 percent of people expect automation to be so common in America that

12、 people will face difficulty finding things to do with their lives.Some of the concerns about technology come from a distrust about whether machines will always make the right decision. Many Americans believe humans have better judgment in dealing with complex matters. One example is selecting a per

13、son for a job. Three quarters of Americans said they would not want to apply for a job that uses a computer program to choose the most qualified person.Most Americans want the government to limit automation, For example, 87 percent support a requirement that all driverless vehicles have a human in t

14、he driver s scat who can take control when needed. And 85 percent want to limit machines to mostly doing jobs that are dangerous or unhealthy for humans. And only 25 percent expect more jobs to come from automation. Pew said,Mark Zuckerberg, the co-founder of Facebook, spoke last May to graduating s

15、eniors from Harvard University in Massachusetts, His talk centered on the uncertain future facing young people. “Our generation will have to deal with tens of millions of jobs replaced by automation like self-driving cars and trucks,” Zuckerberg told the graduates,Zuckerberg said young people will h

26、r Hurricane Maria destroyed the birds habitats and food sources(来源).El Yunque is a large national forest on the eastern part of Puerto Rico. Just two of the 56 wild parrots that once lived there survived Maria, the Category-4 storm that struck Puerto Rico in September 2017. Scientists report other f

27、orests have seen great drops in parrot populations as well.In the 1800s, there were more than a million of the bright green parrots living in the wild in Puerto Rico. By the 1970s, the number was down to just 13 birds after years of forest clearing.A special program was started in 1972 to help incre

28、ase the parrot population, which led to the creation of three breeding(繁殖) centers. Just weeks before Hurricane Maria hit, scientists counted 56 wild parrots at El Yunque. That was the highest number in the programs history. Scientists say that even though several parrots have been born in captivity

29、(笼养) and in the wild since Maria, the species is still in danger.The Puerto Rican Amazon is the islands only remaining native parrot. More than 460 of the birds are kept inside the breeding centers at El Yunque and the Rio Abajo forest. Scientists have not released(释放) any of the birds since Hurrica

30、ne Maria. A third breeding center, in a forest in the western area of Maricao, has not been in operation since the storm.Scientists are considering whether to catch some of the remaining wild parrots and put them in the same cage as the birds that are set to be released. This way, the captive birds

31、can learn from the wild birds how to survive in the forests. Another consideration is to release some captive parrots in Maricao, which was not as heavily damaged by Maria.1、Why has the parrot population greatly decreased in the past 200 years?ABecause of Hurricane Maria.BBecause of too much hunting

32、.CBecause of the loss of forests.DBecause of lack of breeding centers.2、Which of the following is true about Hurricane Maria?AIt killed 56 wild parrots at El Yunque.BIt greatly affected parrots in captivity.CIt reduced the number of wild parrots.DIt led to the creation of three breeding centers.3、Wh

35、etti Sauce (意大利面酱), he used the examples of Pepsi and spaghetti sauce to argue that giving people choices makes them happy. If I had only heard his conclusion statement and missed the evidence that he employed, I would have been wondering how he could argue such an interesting point. But he structur

36、ed his argument like a detective story, with each puzzle piece contributing to the conclusion.Fascinated, I borrowed his book Outliers: The Story of Success from the library. Each chapter had its own story and argument, and all of the arguments were about factors that contributed to an individuals s

37、uccess in the world.The depth of his research was amazing. In the first chapter, he analyzed the reasons behind the crash of Korean Air Flight 801 in 1997, which killed more than 220 people. The disaster took place partly because the co-pilot didnt point out the mistakes that the pilot was making. I

38、n South Korea, its disrespectful to disagree with higher ups even if they are doing something wrong.Perhaps most interesting of all, Gladwell explained why Asians are so good at math. He said Asians get an advantage when they learn how to count because their language has fewer syllables (音节) and mak

39、es numbers easier to remember.But Gladwell is mostly interested in answering my favorite question, Why?” And thats exactly why I love his works. After reading Outliers: The Story of Success and other books like it, I found myself questioning my commonly-accepted beliefs much more often. After all, w

40、hy should we take anything for granted?1、Why does the author write this article?ATo promote some of Gladwells books.BTo introduce Gladwell and his books.CTo show how Gladwell did research for his books.DTo explain why he enjoys Gladwells books.2、How did the author feel about Gladwells TED talk?ASurp

41、rising but persuasive. BRefreshing but puzzling.CInteresting but doubtful. DFunny but conclusive.3、What can we know from the passage?AEating spaghetti sauce can make you happy.BCarelessness caused the Korean air crash in 1997.CFewer syllables give Asians an advantage in learning math.DThe Story of S

42、uccess is about Gladwells personal success.4、What really makes the author fall in love with Gladwells works?AHis strong arguments.BHis amazing research.CHis detective-like stories.DHis questioning spirit.25（10分） Everything about nuclear energy seems terrifically big: the cost, construction and decom

43、missioningand the fears of something going badly wrong.The future, however may well be much smaller. Dozens of companies are working on a new generation of reactors that, they promise, can deliver nuclear power at lower cost and reduced risk.These small-scale plants will on average generate between

44、50MW and 300MW of power compared with the 1,000MW-plus from a conventional reactor. They will draw on modular manufacturing techniques that will reduce construction risk, which has plagued larger-scale projects. Supporters believe these advanced modular reactors (AMRs)most of which will not be comme

45、rcial until the 2030sare critical if atomic power is to compete against the rapidly falling costs of solar and wind.“The physics hasnt changed. Its about much cleverer design that offers much-needed flexibility in terms of operation,” said Tim Stone, long-term industry adviser and chairman of Nuclea

46、r risk Insurers, which insures nuclear sites in the UK.Since the Fukushima meltdown in Japan in 2011, safety fears have threatened nuclear power. But the biggest obstacle today is economic. In western Europe, just three plants are under construction: in the UK at Hinkley point C in Somerset; at Flam

47、anville in France; and at Olkiluoto in Finland. All involve the European Pressurized Reactor technology of EDF that will be used at Hinkley Point. All are running years late and over budget. In the US, the first two nuclear projects under way for the past 30 years are also blowing through cost estim

48、ates.The UK, which opened the worlds first commercial nuclear reactor in 1956, is one of the few western nations committed to renewing its ageing fleet to ensure energy security and meet tough carbon reduction targets. It is seen as a proving ground, by many in the industry, of nuclear powers abilit

49、y to restore confidence.However, the countrys agreement with EDF to build two units at Hinkley Pointwhich together will generate 3.2GW of electricityhas come under severe criticism over its cost. The government is looking at different funding models but said it still sees nuclear power as vital to t

50、he countrys future energy mix. Small reactors, it believes, have the potential to generate much-needed power from the 2030s.A nuclear sector deal, unveiled last month, promised up to 56m in funding for research and development into AMRs and attracted interest of start-ups from around the world. The

51、government hopes the funding will give the UK a lead in the global race to develop these technologies, helping to provide energy security while also creating a multibillion-dollar export market for British engineering companies.1、Which of the following is true about the advanced modular reactors (AM

52、Rs)?AAMRs produce more power than traditional reactorsBSmall in scale, AMRs rose more safety risksCSo far, most AMRs have not been put into use yetDGovernments prefer energy of solar and wind to that of AMRs2、In paragraph 5, the author mentions the plants in Western Europe and the US to _.Aprove tha

53、t nuclear power has been threatened by safety concern.Bshow that the construction of nuclear power plants cost more that the budget available.Cindicate the construction of nuclear plants are slow in speed.Dpoint out that most power plants have adopted the latest nuclear technology.3、What can be infe

54、rred from the passage?ASome people have lost confidence in the development of nuclear plantsBThe UK government seeks to reduce the negative impact of nuclear power on its economy.CThe plan to build two power plants in Hinkley Point has been desertedDa kind costs for small modular reactors would be h

55、igher relative to large nuclear reactors.4、Which of the following can serve as the best title of this passage?ABritain counts on nuclear energy to keep lights onBTraditional nuclear plants boom with mini reactorsCNuclears share of power generation remain steadDNuclear power looks to shrink its way t
