nthefinaloutcome.”以及下文“tendstooutweightheappreciationofAI’slackofbiasattheinterviewingstage”可知,画线部分“thisconcern”指代的是上文提到的人们所担忧的事情,即运用人工智能进行面试时,他们会在最终结果中没有多少发言权,即缺乏人际互动。故选D项。31.C主旨大意题。通读全文,再结合第一段“IfjobseekersknewcompanieswereusingAItofillopenpositions,woulditstopthemfromapplyingforthejob?Theanswer,accordingtoarecentstudy,isyes—sometimes.”可知,本文主要介绍了运用人工智能求职可能会阻碍求职者申请职位。故选C项。【语篇解读】这是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了科学家运用高科技改造绿色植物从而达到节能减排的科学探究。32.D段落大意题。依据第一段最终两句可知,本段主要介绍绿色植物的好处。故选D项。33.A细微环节理解题。依据其次段其次句“其中包括在叶子上印上传感器以显示植物的缺水状况,还可以检测地下水中的有害化学物质。”可知选A项。34.C推理推断题。依据最终一段最终一句“发光的植物可以缩短这个距离,从而帮助节约能源。”可知,这种发光的植物在将来可能会有助于节约能源。35.C主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了麻省理工学院的科研团队的一项探讨:利用特别的装置让植物发光来照亮房间或把树变成会发光的路灯,以此来节约和利用能源。故“发光的植物能代替灯吗?”为最佳标题。【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了5G以及5G的优势和对我们生活的影响。36.D下文“Tohelpallofusunderstandthem,wehavelistedsomefactseveryoneshouldknow.”与D项承接自然,下文的them就指代上文提到的两个问题。故选D项。37.F下文“With5Gthereisapossibilitythatwecandoeverything.”与F项承接自然,因为数据更快、延迟超低,所以让人们做任何事情变得有可能。故选F项。38.B依据下文可知,本段主要讲解
