Text1
Among the annoying challenges facing the middle class is one that will probably go unmentioned in the next presidential campaign:What happens when the robots come for their jobs?
Don't dismiss that possibility entirely.About half of U.S.jobs are at high risk of being automated,according to a University of Oxford study,with the middle class disproportionately squeezed.Lower-income jobs like gardening or day care don't appeal to robots.But many middle-class occupations-trucking,financial advice,software engineering—have aroused their interest,or soon will.The rich own the robots,so they will be fine.
This isn't to be alarmist.Optimists point out that technological upheaval has benefited workers in the past.The Industrial Revolution didn't go so well for Luddites whose jobs were displaced by mechanized looms,but it eventually raised living standards and created more jobs than it destroyed. Likewise,automation should eventually boost productivity,stimulate demand by driving down prices,and free workers from hard,boring work.But in the medium term,middle-class workers may need a lot of help adjusting.
The first step,as Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee argue in The Second Machine Age, should be rethinking education and job training.Curriculums—from grammar school to college-should evolve to focus less on memorizing facts and more on creativity and complex communication.V ocational schools should do a better job of fostering problem-solving skills and helping students work alongside robots.Online education can supplement the traditional kind.It could make extra training and instruction affordable.Professionals trying to acquire new skills will be able to do so without going into debt.
The challenge of coping with automation underlines the need for the U.S.to revive its fading business dynamism:Starting new companies must be made easier.In previous eras of drastic technological change,entrepreneurs smoothed the transition by dreaming up ways to combine labor and machines.The best uses of3D printers and virtual reality haven't been invented yet.The U.S. needs the new companies that will invent them.
Finally,because automation threatens to widen the gap between capital income and labor income,taxes and the safety net will have to be rethought.Taxes on low-wage labor need to be cut,
2
and wage subsidies such as the earned income tax credit should be expanded:This would boost incomes,encourage work,reward companies for job creation,and reduce inequality.
Technology will improve society in ways big and small over the next few years,yet this will be little comfort to those who find their lives and careers upended by automation.
Destroying the machines that are coming for our jobs would be nuts.But policies to help workers adapt will be indispensable.
21.Who will be most threatened by automation?
[A]Leading politicians.
[B]Low-wage laborers.
[C]Robot owners.
[D]Middle-class workers.
22.Which of the following best represent the author’s view?
[A]Worries about automation are in fact groundless.
[B]Optimists'opinions on new tech find little support.
[C]Issues arising from automation need to be tackled
[D]Negative consequences of new tech can be avoided
https://www.doczj.com/doc/7d12072932.html,cation in the age of automation should put more emphasis on_______.
[A]creative potential
[B]job-hunting skills
[C]individual needs
[D]cooperative spirit
24.The author suggests that tax policies be aimed at_______.
[A]encouraging the development of automation
[B]increasing the return on capital investment
[C]easing the hostility between rich and poor
[D]preventing the income gap from widening
25.In this text,the author presents a problem with_______.
[A]opposing views on it
[B]possible solutions to it
[C]its alarming impacts

A new survey by Harvard University finds more than two-thirds of young Americans disapprove of President Trump’s use of Twitter.The implication is that Millennials prefer news from the White House to be filtered through other source,Not a president’s social media platform.
Most Americans rely on social media to check daily headlines.Yet as distrust has risen toward all media,people may be starting to beef up their media literacy skills.Such a trend is badly needed. During the2016presidential campaign,nearly a quarter of web content shared by Twitter users in the politically critical state of Michigan was fake news,according to the University of Oxford.And
3
a survey conducted for BuzzFeed News found44percent of Facebook users rarely or never trust news from the media giant.
Young people who are digital natives are indeed becoming more skillful at separating fact from fiction in cyberspace.A Knight Foundation focus-group survey of young people between ages 14and24found they use“distributed trust”to verify stories.They cross-check sources and prefer news from different perspectives—especially those that are open about any bias.“Many young people assume a great deal of personal responsibility for educating themselves and actively seeking out opposing viewpoints,”the survey concluded.
Such active research can have another effect.A2014survey conducted in Australia,Britain, and the United States by the University of Wisconsin-Madison found that young people’s reliance on social media led to greater political engagement.
Social media allows users to experience news events more intimately and immediately while also permitting them to re-share news as a projection of their values and interests.This forces users to be more conscious of their role in passing along information.A survey by Barna research group found the top reason given by Americans for the fake news phenomenon is“reader error,”more so than made-up stories or factual mistakes in reporting.About a third say the problem of fake news lies in“misinterpretation or exaggeration of actual news”via social media.In other words,the choice to share news on social media may be the heart of the issue.“This indicates there is a real personal responsibility in counteracting this problem,”says Roxanne Stone,editor in chief at Barna Group.
So when young people are critical of an over-tweeting president,they reveal a mental discipline in thinking skills–and in their choices on when to share on social media.
26.According to the Paragraphs1and2,many young Americans cast doubts on_______.
[A]the justification of the news-filtering practice
[B]people’s preference for social media platforms
[C]the administrations ability to handle information
[D]social media was a reliable source of news
27.The phrase“beer up”(Line2,Para.2)is closest in meaning to_______.
[A]sharpen
[B]define
[C]boast
[D]share
28.According to the knight foundation survey,young people_______.
[A]tend to voice their opinions in cyberspace
[B]verify news by referring to diverse resources
[C]have s strong sense of responsibility
[D]like to exchange views on“distributed trust”
29.The Barna survey found that a main cause for the fake news problem is_______.
[A]readers outdated values
4
[B]journalists’biased reporting
[C]readers’misinterpretation
[D]journalists’made-up stories
30.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
[A]A Rise in Critical Skills for Sharing News Online
[B]A Counteraction Against the Over-tweeting Trend
[C]The Accumulation of Mutual Trust on Social Media.
[D]The Platforms for Projection of Personal Interests.

Any fair-minded assessment of the dangers of the deal between Britain's National Health Service(NHS)and DeepMind must start by acknowledging that both sides mean well.DeepMind is one of the leading artificial intelligence(AI)companies in the world.The potential of this work applied to healthcare is very great,but it could also lead to further concentration of power in the tech giants.It Is against that background that the information commissioner,Elizabeth Denham,has issued her damning verdict against the Royal Free hospital trust under the NHS,which handed over to DeepMind the records of1.6million patients In2015on the basis of a vague agreement which took far too little account of the patients'rights and their expectations of privacy.
DeepMind has almost apologized.The NHS trust has mended its ways.Further arrangements-and there may be many-between the NHS and DeepMind will be carefully scrutinised to ensure that all necessary permissions have been asked of patients and all unnecessary data has been cleaned.There are lessons about informed patient consent to learn.But privacy is not the only angle in this case and not even the most important.Ms Denham chose to concentrate the blame on the NHS trust,since under existing law it“controlled”the data and DeepMind merely“processed" it.But this distinction misses the point that it is processing and aggregation,not the mere possession of bits,that gives the data value.
The great question is who should benefit from the analysis of all the data that our lives now generate.Privacy law builds on the concept of damage to an individual from identifiable knowledge about them.That misses the way the surveillance economy works.The data of an individual there gains its value only when it is compared with the data of countless millions more.
The use of privacy law to curb the tech giants in this instance feels slightly maladapted.This practice does not address the real worry.It is not enough to say that the algorithms DeepMind develops will benefit patients and save lives.What matters is that they will belong to a private monopoly which developed them using public resources.If software promises to save lives on the scale that dugs now can,big data may be expected to behave as a big pharm has done.We are still at the beginning of this revolution and small choices now may turn out to have gigantic consequences later.A long struggle will be needed to avoid a future of digital feudalism.Ms Denham’s report is a welcome start.
31.What is true of the agreement between the NHS and DeepMind?
[A]It caused conflicts among tech giants.
5
[B]It failed to pay due attention to patient’s rights.
[C]It fell short of the latter's expectations
[D]It put both sides into a dangerous situation.
32.The NHS trust responded to Denham’s verdict with_______.
[A]empty promises
[B]tough resistance
[C]necessary adjustments
[D]sincere apologies
33.The author argues in Paragraph2that_______.
[A]privacy protection must be secured at all costs
[B]leaking patients'data is worse than selling it
[C]making profits from patients'data is illegal
[D]the value of data comes from the processing of it
34.According to the last paragraph,the real worry arising from this deal is_______.
[A]the vicious rivalry among big pharmas
[B]the ineffective enforcement of privacy law
[C]the uncontrolled use of new software
[D]the monopoly of big data by tech giants
35.The author's attitude toward the application of AI to healthcare is_______.
[A]ambiguous
[B]cautious
[C]appreciative
[D]contemptuous

The U.S.Postal Service(USPS)continues to bleed red ink.It reported a net loss of$5.6 billion for fiscal2016,the10th straight year its expenses have exceeded revenue.Meanwhile,it has more than$120billion in unfunded liabilities,mostly for employee health and retirement costs. There are many bankruptcies.Fundamentally,the USPS is in a historic squeeze between technological change that has permanently decreased demand for its bread-and-butter product, first-class mail,and a regulatory structure that denies management the flexibility to adjust its operations to the new reality
And interest groups ranging from postal unions to greeting-card makers exert self-interested pressure on the USPS’s ultimate overseer-Congress-insisting that whatever else happens to the Postal Service,aspects of the status quo they depend on get protected.This is why repeated attempts at reform legislation have failed in recent years,leaving the Postal Service unable to pay its bills except by deferring vital modernization.
Now comes word that everyone involved---Democrats,Republicans,the Postal Service,the unions and the system's heaviest users—has finally agreed on a plan to fix the system.Legislation is moving through the House that would save USPS an estimated$28.6billion over five years,
6
which could help pay for new vehicles,among other survival measures.Most of the money would come from a penny-per-letter permanent rate increase and from shifting postal retirees into Medicare.The latter step would largely offset the financial burden of annually pre-funding retiree health care,thus addressing a long-standing complaint by the USPS and its union.
If it clears the House,this measure would still have to get through the Senate–where someone is bound to point out that it amounts to the bare,bare minimum necessary to keep the Postal Service afloat,not comprehensive reform.There’s no change to collective bargaining at the USPS,a major omission considering that personnel accounts for80percent of the agency’s costs. Also missing is any discussion of eliminating Saturday letter delivery.That common-sense change enjoys wide public support and would save the USPS$2billion per year.But postal special-interest groups seem to have killed it,at least in the House.The emerging consensus around the bill is a sign that legislators are getting frightened about a politically embarrassing short-term collapse at the USPS.It is not,however,a sign that they’re getting serious about transforming the postal system for the21st century.
36.The financial problem with the USPS is caused partly by_______.
[A].its unbalanced budget
[B].its rigid management
[C].the cost for technical upgrading
[D].the withdrawal of bank support
37.According to Paragraph2,the USPS fails to modernize itself due to_______.
[A].the interference from interest groups
[B].the inadequate funding from Congress
[C].the shrinking demand for postal service
[D].the incompetence of postal unions
38.The long-standing complaint by the USPS and its unions can be addressed by_______.
[A].removing its burden of retiree health care
[B].making more investment in new vehicles
[C].adopting a new rate-increase mechanism
[D].attracting more first-class mail users
39.In the last paragraph,the author seems to view legislators with_______.
[A]respect
[B]tolerance
[C]discontent
[D]gratitude
40.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
[A]The USPS Starts to Miss Its Good Old Days.
[B]The Postal Service:Keep Away from My Cheese.
[C]The USPS:Chronic Illness Requires a Quick Cure.
[D]The Postal Service Needs More than a Band-Aid.

The following paragraphs are given in a wrong order.For Questions41-45,you are required to reorganize these paragraphs into a coherent article by choosing from the list A-G and filling them into the numbered boxes.Paragraphs C and F have been correctly placed.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET.(10points)
A.In December of1869,Congress appointed a commission to select a site and prepare plans and cost estimates for a new State Department Building.The commission was also to consider possible arrangements for the War and Navy Departments.To the horror of some who expected a Greek Revival twin of the Treasury Building to be erected on the other side of the White House,the elaborate French Second Empire style design by Alfred Mullett was selected,and construction of a building to house all three departments began in June of1871.
https://www.doczj.com/doc/7d12072932.html,pleted in1875,the State Department's south wing was the first to be occupied,with its elegant four-story library(completed in1876),Diplomatic Reception Room,and Secretary's office decorated with carved wood,Oriental rugs,and stenciled wall patterns.The Navy Department moved into the east wing in1879,where elaborate wall and ceiling stenciling and marquetry floors decorated the office of the Secretary.
C.The State,War,and Navy Building,as it was originally known,housed the three Executive Branch Departments most intimately associated with formulating and conducting the nation's foreign policy in the last quarter of the nineteenth century and the first quarter of the twentieth century-the period when the United States emerged as an international power.The building has housed some of the nation's most significant diplomats and politicians and has been the scene of many historic events.
D.Many of the most celebrated national figures have participated in historical events that have taken place within the EEOB’s granite walls.Theodore and Franklin D.Roosevelt,William Howard Taft,Dwight D.Eisenhower,Lyndon B.Johnson,Gerald Ford,and George H.W.Bush all had offices in this building before becoming president.It has housed16Secretaries of the Navy,21 Secretaries of War,and24Secretaries of State.Winston Churchill once walked its corridors and Japanese emissaries met here with Secretary of State Cordell Hull after the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
E.The Eisenhower Executive Office Building(EEOB)commands a unique position in both the national history and the architectural heritage of the United States.Designed by Supervising Architect of the Treasury,Alfred B.Mullett,it was built from1871to1888to house the growing staffs of the State,War,and Navy Departments,and is considered one of the best examples of French Second Empire architecture in the country.
F.Construction took17years as the building slowly rose wing by wing.When the EEOB was finished,it was the largest office building in Washington,with nearly2miles of black and white tiled corridors.Almost all of the interior detail is of cast iron or plaster;the use of wood was minimized to insure fire safety.Eight monumental curving staircases of granite with over4,000
8
individually cast bronze balusters are capped by four skylight domes and two stained glass rotundas.
G.The history of the EEOB began long before its foundations were laid.The first executive offices were constructed between1799and1820.A series of fires(including those set by the British in1814)and overcrowded conditions led to the construction of the existing Treasury Building.In1866,the construction of the North Wing of the Treasury Building necessitated the demolition of the State Department building.

Shakespeare’s life time was coincident with a period of extraordinary activity and achievement in the drama.(46)By the date of his birth Europe was witnessing the passing of the religious drama,and the creation of new forms under the incentive of classical tragedy and comedy. These new forms were at first mainly written by scholars and performed by amateurs,but in England,as everywhere else in western Europe,the growth of a class of professional actors was threatening to make the drama popular,whether it should be new or old,classical or medieval, literary or farcical.Court,school organizations of amateurs,and the traveling actors were all rivals in supplying a widespread desire for dramatic entertainment;and(47)no boy who went a grammar school could be ignorant that the drama was a form of literature which gave glory to Greece and Rome and might yet bring honor to England.
When Shakespeare was twelve years old,the first public playhouse was built in London.For a time literature showed no interest in this public stage.Plays aiming at literary distinction were written for school or court,or for the choir boys of St.Paul’s and the royal chapel,who,however, gave plays in public as well as at court.(48)but the professional companies prospered in their permanent theaters,and university men with literature ambitions were quick to turn to these theaters as offering a means of livelihood.By the time Shakespeare was twenty-five,Lyly,Peele, and Greene had made comedies that were at once popular and literary;Kyd had written a tragedy that crowded the pit;and Marlowe had brought poetry and genius to triumph on the common stage -where they had played no part since the death of Euripides.(49)A native literary drama had been created,its alliance with the public playhouses established,and at least some of its great traditions had been begun.
The development of the Elizabethan drama for the next twenty-five years is of exceptional interest to students of literary history,for in this brief period we may trace the beginning,growth, blossoming,and decay of many kinds of plays,and of many great careers.We are amazed today at the mere number of plays produced,as well as by the number of dramatists writing at the same
9
time for this London of two hundred thousand inhabitants.(50)To realize how great was the dramatic activity,we must remember further that hosts of plays have been lost,and that probably there is no author of note whose entire work has survived.

As is vividly depicted in the graph that sitting in front of a computer,a student is selecting the curriculum,taking numerous elements into consideration including the innovation,the freshness of knowledge and the level of difficulty as well as the scoring,the qualified rate and burden of assignment.The caption says:The course selecting is on the way,indicating the importance of well-rounded consideration while making a choice.
We can deduce from the portrayal that well-rounded contemplating,a significant quality,serves as an indispensable capability bringing about positive influence toward different aspects of our lives.It is commonly known that the value of comprehensiveness and sophistication of thinking has been proved by countless examples around us,such as the governmental policy making and
selection of compulsory and optional course.If we can put this notion into practice,it would exert profound and constructive influence.Therefore,well-rounded and thorough thinking will create huge benefit to the prosperity of community as well as personal development.

differentiate between在两者间区分，用between 14.选C，introduced 从后文tester would ask知道tester是人，实验人员，所以选“介绍” 15.选D,inside 同意替换上文look into the container 16.选A,discovered 同意替换found 17.选C，fooled 语义上来看，既然作出惊喜表情，盒子里面却空无一物，显然是“欺骗，wrong错怪，mock取笑，betray背叛都不合文义。此外下一段t出现了trick,是fool的同意替换18.选B,willing 没有被欺骗，所以“愿意”合作；willing与hesitant是唯一一组正反选项 19选A,in contrast, 作者要证明连小孩子都会用第六感来保护自己，所以最后的这个例子一定是第二组被欺骗的小孩子们的反应，语意上看，应该选in contrast，对比逻辑 20.选C,unreliable 由于欺骗了他们，所以实验人员是”不可信的”，此外unreliable与原文焦点相关。 阅读 21.选D，middle-class workers 简单细节定位题，并无同义替换。第二段But many middle-class occupations-trucking, financial advice,software engineering—have aroused their interest,or soon will. 再次印证了but的重要性。 22.选C，Issues arising from automation need to be tackled 主旨题，文章以发现问题-解决问题的逻辑撰写，主旨在于应对人工智能带来的负面影响，让受影响的人做好充分准备。A，B，D中的groundless,little support和avoid都涉及极端表述，无依据。 23.选A，creative potential 简单定位题，第四段…focus less on memorizing facts and more on creativity and complex communication

2018 年全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语（二）真题答案详解Section I Use of English 命题分析： 本文介绍了好奇心给人们带来的负面影响。文章难度不大，常考的总分结构、词汇与搭配辨析和逻辑关系（指代、并列、转折、列举等）再次成为考点。部分段落里的长难句也在提醒考生要有基本的语法功底。另外，本文多次出现语义的重复，对解题也有极大的帮助。 译文识词： 人们为什么浏览网络上的负面（negative）评论，并且做其他明显会痛苦的事情呢？根据《心理科学》上发表的一项最新研究可知，因为人们都有（1）解决不确定性的内在（inherent）需要。这项新研究揭示（reveal）：渴望了解的需求如此强烈以至于人们会（2）设法满足自己的好奇心（curiosity），即使答案很明显会（3）令人痛苦。 在一系列（series）（分四项）实验中，芝加哥大学和威斯康星商学院的行为科学家测试了学生们为了满足好奇心而让自己（4）接触令人不悦的刺激物的意愿。在一项（5）试验中，每位参与者都会看到一堆笔，研究人员声称（claim）它们来自以前的（previous）一项实验。出现的转变（twist）是？按下（click）时，有一半的笔会（6）给予一次电击。 27 名学生被告知哪些笔带电，另外27 名学生却被告知有些笔带电。被单独留在房间里（7）时，不知道哪些笔会使自己受到电击的学生会比知道会（8）发生何事的学生按下更多的笔并遭受（incur）更多的电击。随后的（subsequent）几次实验中，使用其他刺激物重现了（reproduce）该结果，（9）例如，指甲刮黑板的声音和令人厌恶的昆虫图片。 芝加哥大学的奚恺元，即这篇论文的合著者，表示（10）探索的动力在人类体内根深蒂固，与对（11）食物或住处（shelter）的基本动力几乎相同。好奇心经常被认为是一种好的本能（instinct）——例如，它能（12）带来新的科学进步——但有时候这种（13）探究可能会适得其反。好奇心会驱使你做（14）自我毁灭 的事情，这种洞察力（insight）是真知灼见（a profound one）。 然而，病态的好奇心是有可能（15）按耐住的。在最后一项实验中，有些参与者被鼓励去（16）预测自己浏览令人不悦的图片之后的感受，他们（17）选择观看此类图片的可能性（likely）较小。这些研究结果表明，依据好奇心提前（ahead of time）想象随后发生的（18）结果，有助于决定（determine）它（19）是否值得付出努力。奚恺元说道：“考虑长期（20）后果是减少好奇心可能带来的负面影响的关键。”换而言之 （in other words），不要浏览网络评论。 1、【答案】[B] 【解析】动词辨析题。空格前的句子提出问题“人们为什么浏览网络上的负面评论，并且做其他明显会痛苦的事情呢？”，而空格所在句给出原因“因为人们都有不确定性的内在需要”，因此，空格处所填动词应与名词uncertainty 搭配使用，且表示出这种内在需要能够促使人们做出前一句中提到的行为。备选项中只有resolve 和uncertainty 搭配才符合句意，即因为人们想要解决不确定性，所以这种好奇心会促使人们为了寻求答案而去浏览网络上的负面评论并做一些明显会痛苦的事情，故答案为B。 2、【答案】[D] 【解析】动词辨析题。空格为与so...that...引导的结果状语从句中，结合空格前后的内容可知，人们渴望了解的需求如此强烈，所导致的结果应该是人们要满足自己的好奇心，故空格处应填入表示“肯定”含义的单词。seek 表示“设法，试图”，最符合文意，故D 为答案。 3、【答案】[A] 【解析】动词辨析题。空格为于even when 引导的时间状语从句中，此处even 表示让步关系，强调即使答案很明显会，人们依旧会去满足自己的好奇心；结合第一句可知，空格处应填入一个与negative 和 painful 意思相近的单词。备选项中，只有hurt“令人痛苦，使人伤心”符合要求，故A 为答案。
