A

That robots, automation, and software can replace people might seem obvious to anyone who’s worked in automotive manufacturing. But MIT business scholars Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee’s claim is more troubling and controversial. They believe that rapid technological change has been destroying jobs faster than it is creating them.
They believe that technology increases productivity and makes societies wealthier, but it became clear to them that the same technologies making many jobs safer, easier, and more productive were also reducing the demand for many types of human workers. Technologies like the Web, artificial intelligence, and big data are automating many routine tasks. Countless traditional white-collar jobs, such as many in the post office and in customer service, have disappeared.
As evidence, Brynjolfsson and McAfee point to a chart on which separate lines represent productivity and total employment in the United States. For years after World War II, the two lines closely tracked each other, with increases in jobs corresponding to increases in productivity. Then, beginning in 2000, the lines diverge; productivity continues to rise steadily, but employment suddenly shrinks. By 2011, a significant gap appears between the two lines, showing economic growth with no parallel increase in job creation.
United States Productivity and Employment

But are these new technologies really responsible for a decade of lackluster (无生气) job growth? David Autor, an economist at MIT who has studied the connections between jobs and technology, doubts that technology could account for such a sudden change in total employment. Moreover, he also doubts that productivity has, in fact, risen steadily in the United States in the past decade. If he’s right, it raises the possibility that poor job growth could be simply a result of a depressed economy. The sudden slowdown in job creation “is a big puzzle,” he says, “but there’s not a lot of evidence that it’s linked to computers.” “To be sure, computer technologies are changing the types of jobs available, but that is very different from saying technology is affecting the total number of jobs,” he adds. “Jobs can change a lot without there being huge changes in employment rates.”
Lawrence Katz, a Harvard economist, says that while technological changes can be painful for workers whose skills no longer match the needs of employers, no historical pattern shows these shifts leading to a net decrease in jobs over an extended period. Still, Katz doesn’t dismiss the notion that there is something different about today’s digital technologies. Though he expects the historical pattern to hold, it is “genuinely a question,” he says. “If technology disrupts enough, who knows what will happen?”
1、Which period on the chart strongly supports McAfee’s claim?
A．1947—1967. B．1985—1987.
C．1997—2000. D．2011—2013.
2、According to David Autor, the change in job growth ________.
A．is not necessarily caused by technology
B．results from a weakening economy
C．has no connection with productivity
D．affects the current types of jobs
3、What is Lawrence Katz’s attitude towards the topic?
A．Optimistic. B．Defensive.
C．Objective. D．Disapproving.
4、The main purpose of the passage is to ________.
A．show the relation between productivity and job creation
B．discuss the effect of technological advances on employment
C．argue against the wide use of artificial intelligence
D．explain the impact of technologies on productivity

B
The popular wisdom for years has been that drinking in moderation (适度)—that’s one “standard” drink a day for women and two for men-is linked to a lower risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease. But recent studies are casting some doubt on that long-held learning. Science now says it depends on your age and drinking habits.
A 2017 study of nearly 2 million British with no cardiovascular risk found that there was still a modest benefit in moderate drinking, especially for women over 55 who drank five drinks a week. Why that age? Alcohol can influence the substance in the blood in positive ways, experts say, and that’s about the age when heart problems begin to occur.
Also, a 2018 study found that drinking more than 100 grams of alcohol per week—equal to roughly seven standard drinks in the United States or five to six glasses of wine in the UK—increases your risk of death from all causes and in turn lowers your life expectancy. Links were found with different forms of cardiovascular disease, with people who drank more than 100 grams per week having a higher risk of stroke, heart failure.
Another 2018 study found that consistently drinking a moderate amount of alcohol, within recommended guidelines, had a protective effect on the heart over time. Unstable drinking habits were associated with a higher risk of heart disease, which the authors reflected might indicate broader lifestyle changes, such as poor health or stress. Former drinkers were also at greater risk.
Overall, however, the latest thinking is that any heart benefit may be outweighed by other health risks, such as high blood pressure, certain cancers and liver damage.
Women who drink are at a higher risk for breast cancer; alcohol contributes about 6% of the overall risk, possibly because it raises certain dangerous hormones in the blood. Drinking can also increase the chance you might develop liver, mouth and oral cancers. One potential reason: Alcohol weakens our immune systems, making us more likely to inflame (发炎)—a driving force behind cancer.
1、Why does moderate drinking benefit women over 55?
A．It helps them live longer than men.
B．It reduces the chance of some heart problems.
C．It destroys the harmful chemicals in their blood.
D．It helps them recover from cardiovascular disease.
2、What can we learn from paragraph 3?
A．Drinking more than 10 grams of alcohol per week is surely harmful.
B．Solid links were found between the disease and the amount of alcohol.
C．The lifespan varies according to amount of consumed alcohol.
D．Seven standard drinks are the recommended amount of drinking in the UK.
3、Who will be at a lower risk according to the 2018 study?
A．Consistent drinkers with lifestyle changes.
B．Unstable drinkers with lifestyle changes.
C．Consistent drinkers within recommended amount of alcohol.
D．Unstable drinkers within recommended amount of alcohol.
4、Which can be the best title for the text?
A．Moderate drinking habits benefit the heart.
B．Moderate drinking weakens our immune systems.
C．Moderate drinking can prevent cancer.
D．Moderate drinking does more harm than good to health.

I was speechless，sure I was seeing things．She said，“For once you thought of someone other than yourself，my job here is done．”

Ten years ago, I was lucky enough to have an opportunity to study in England as a international student. I went to one of the most famous school there. On the first day, I was such nervous that I felt my heart beaten wildly. I was afraid to express to myself, because I have never communicated with strangers in English before. Therefore, my teacher said I had to introduce me in front of the class. As soon as the first word flew out my mouth, I felt relaxing immediately. I was happy I finally made it. It’s a special day, which I will never forget.
