题型二阅读理解（任务型阅读）1-10Passage 1（2018河北）Artificial intelligence( AI)（人工智能）is growing rapidly. We are living in a world that depends more and more on AI. AI is a group of technologies that help machines get, understand and use information to do tasks.AIs recent developments have got a lot of social attention. Some people have welcomed AI because it makes things possible. For example, AI will have a big influence on areas like medicine and engineering. But this attention has also produced a lot of fear. Especially, many workers are worrying that AI could make them lose their jobs.According to a recent study, nearly five percent of jobs will disappear because of AI. In some industries,AI is already doing the work that people used to do, such as assembling（装配）cars, digging the coal and lifting goods. Self- driving cars and trucks controlled by AI will also take away the drivers jobs in the future.On the other hand, AI will also create many new jobs for people. More people will be needed to write programmes for AI systems（系统）and they will set up and work on them, too. Meanwhile, jobs that require feelings, excellent communication skills with people will not be replaced（取代）by AI. These includes jobs in fields like teaching, nursing and personal training.AI is here. It is changing how people live and work in many ways. That makes AI important to watch, not to fear.1、2题完成句子；3题简略回答问题；4题找出并写下第二段的主题句；5题将文中画线句子译成汉语。1.

According to recent studies the answer is yes:（1）Here, we look at two examples. A recent study by researcher Kraus shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a persons hearing ability. （2）The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training. The musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly.（3）Think about violinists in an orchestra(管弦乐团). When the violinists play with the group, they hear their own instrument and many others, too. But the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing, and pay no attention to the other sounds.In this way, musicians are able to focus on certain sounds, even in a room with lots of noise.Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke (中风)patients. Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names,addresses, or other information normally. However, they can still sing. （4） Why does this work? Schlaug isnt sure. Music seems to make different parts of the brain work, including the damaged (损坏的) parts. This might help patients to use that part of the brain again. Music improves concentration (注意JJ ) , memory, listening skills, and our overall language abilities.（5） Playing an instrument or singing can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp (敏锐IYJ) as we get older. Music is not only enjoyable, its also good for us in many other ways.A. It can even help sick people get better.B. Music helps people solve some hearing problems.C.

They will attend US schools,meet US teenagers,and form impressions of America. （1） They will learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.（2）Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with Georges family. In turn, Georges son Mike spent a year in Freds home in America. Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months study, the language began to come to him.（3） Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities. （4） The fathers word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than one of the members. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car.Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany,you walk,but you soon learn to like it.Meanwhile, in America, Mike, a German boy, was also forming his idea. I suppose I should criticize(批评) American schools, he said.
