But it warned workers now faced a double threat from "accelerating automation and the fallout (后果，副作用) from the Covid-19 recession"."These things 8_(deepen) existing inequalities across labour markets and reversed gains in employment made since the global financial crisis in 2007-2008," said Saadia Zahidi, managing director at WEF."Its a double disruption scenario 9_presents another hurdle for workers in this difficult time. The window of opportunity for proactive management(前瞻性调整) of this change is closing fast."WEF said 10_(current) around a third of all work tasks were handled by machines, with humans doing the rest, but by 2025 the balance would shift.Roles that relied on human skills such as advising, decision-making, reasoning, communicating and interacting would rise in demand. There would also be a "surge"(暴增) in demand for workers to fill green economy jobs, and new roles in areas like engineering and cloud computing.But it said millions of routine or manual jobs would be displaced by technology, affecting the lowest paid, lowest skilled workers the most.It said millions would need to be re-skilled to cope with the change, while governments would have to provide "stronger safety nets" for displaced workers.Keys:1 will be handled 2 to worsen 3 leaving 4 biggest 5 surveyed 6 to 7 adoption 8 have deepened 9 that 10 currently2 科学家研发出透明木材 或可替代玻璃Scientist create TRANSPARENT wood as clear as glass Scientists have designed transparent wood that could replace 1_(convention) glass in windows.The innovation (革新) was developed using wood from the balsa tree(巴尔沙树), 2_ is native to South and Central America, and claims 3_(be) five times more thermally efficient(热效率) than glass.The team treated balsa wood in an oxidizing bath（氧化剂） that bleaches（褪去） it of nearly all visibility(可见的颜色) and then penetrated it with a synthetic polymer（聚合物） 4_ (call) polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)（聚乙烯醇） - creating a product that is virtually transparent.Unlike traditional glass, the transparent wood can withstand(承受) much 5_(strong) impacts and will bend or splinter(裂开) when damaged, instead of shattering（粉碎）.The transparent wood was created by teams at the University of Maryland and University of Colorado, which set out to find a greener alternative to conventional glass a production that creates 25,000 tons in emissions each year.Along with contributing to greenhouse gases, glass contributes to a loss of energy.Residential building windows in particular account 6_ 1025% of the heat loss due to their poor thermal management capability, the team wrote in the study.Exploring energy efficient window materials is thus 7_(high) desirable to address(解决) heating costs, energy shortages, and the global impact of climate change 8_(associate) with increased carbon emissions.The team notes that the bonding between PVA and cellulose（纤维素） in the wood, creates a tightly packed structure that allows for more thermal protection and makes 9_ more durable（耐用的） and lighter than glass.Switching to transparent wood could prove to be cost efficient as well, researchers shared in a statement.It is made from a sustainable, renewable resource with low carbon emissions. Its also compatible with existing industrial processing equipment, making the transition into manufacturing 10_ easy prospect.Keys:1 conventional 2 which 3 to be 4 called 5 stronger6 for 7 highly 8 associated 9 it 10 an3好莱坞史上第一人：汤姆克鲁斯确定明年10月将去太空拍电影Tom Cruise going to space in 2021 to film movie with help of Elon Musks SpaceX Tom Cruise will 1_(official) take on his biggest stunt(特技) yet in October 2021 when he travels to outer space to film a new movie.TheSpace Shuttle Almanac（航天飞机年鉴）tweeted （发推文）Wednesday that previous reports that Cruise would lead the first movie 2_(film) in outer space on the International Space Station (ISS) are coming to fruition.
