The declining cost of machines threatens low­skill jobs and routine tasks. But actually, technology can be a job creator.With increase in efficiency brought about by digital technology, business can expand, digital platforms can create entirely new jobs and businesses can reach out to rural markets. First, technology decreases, the costs of doing business, and changes the geography of jobs.Digital platforms have enabled numbers of businesses to form in underdeveloped rural areas, which offers farmers more job chances.Second, technology creates more opportunities for the job hunters with mixed skills.Wages for routine，job­specific skills are declining，while the skills that cannot be replaced by robots have been increasing.Although robots can recognise human faces，they can't read their minds.Earnings are higher for those who have a combination of these skills.Third，digital technology has changed the terms of work.Rather than“standard”long­term contracts，digital technology has given rise to more short­term jobs，often via online work platforms. These jobs make certain kinds of work more accessible and flexible.How will these changes play out in the post pandemic？It is likely that the pandemic will strengthen these pre­existing trends.“Platform companies”are dominating markets even more.We are already seeing Amazon and Alibaba getting even bigger and stronger.Companies will invest more to conduct business over the Internet to be more adaptable to potential lockdowns.The pandemic has pushed society to welcome technology，which is no longer an option but a necessity. With the right steps and actions，businesses and governments can take the crisis as an opportunity to build for the future.【语篇解读】因机器人带来的对失业的担心在增加，因为传统上由人类执行的任务越来越多地通过机器人来完成。但是作者认为数字技术变化有助于增加就业机会，对商业发展有好处。1What change does technology bring to jobs according to Paragraph 1?AIt leads to more unemployment. BIt can help increase employment. CIt makes rural labor flow into cities. DIt makes low­skill jobs no longer exist.解析：B细节理解题。由第一段中的“But actually, technology can be a job creator.”和“digital platforms can create entirely new jobs”可知，技术有助于增加就业机会。故选B项。2Which of the following cannot be replaced by robots?AMind reading.BRoutine work. CFace recognition. DLabor work.解析：A细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Although robots can recognise human faces, they can't read their minds.” 可知，机器人看不懂人们的心思。故选A项。3How will the pandemic influence the development of business?AIt brings more crisis to businesses. BIt brings more long­term contracts.CIt enhances the importance of technology.DIt increases the government's investment in big companies.解析：C细节理解题。根据第五段倒数第二句“The pandemic has pushed society to welcome technology, which is no longer an option but a necessity.”可知，这场流行病促使社会欢迎技术的到来，技术不再是一种选择而是一个必要的存在，因此这场流行病对于商业发展的影响是增强了技术的重要性。故选C项。4Which word best describes the author's attitude to technology changes?AFearful.BFavorable.CUncertain. DNegative.解析：B观点态度题。通读全文可知，第一段主要是说技术变化有助于增加就业机会，对商业发展有好处；第二、三、四段对此观点进行论证；第五段主要说明流行病对于商业发展的影响是增强了技术的重要性。故综合全文可推知，作者对技术变化持肯定的态度。favorable肯定的，赞同的，支持的。故选B项。BVideo calls are a common occurrence, but have you imagined being able to touch the person on the other end of the line? Scientists are making this a reality.Researchers at the University of New South Wales, Australia, have invented a soft skin stretch device (SSD), a haptic (触觉的) device that can recreate the sense of touch. Haptic technology can mimic the experience of touch by stimulating the skin through force, vibration (震动) or motion.Vibration is the most common haptic technology today and has been built into many electronic devices, such as one attached to the back of a trackpad in laptops. However, haptic feedback with vibration becomes less sensitive when used continuously. The existing technology also has great difficulty recreating the sense of touch with objects in virtual environments or located remotely.The new technology overcomes issues with existing haptic devices. The research team introduced a novel method to recreate the sense of touch through soft, artificial “muscles”It works like this: imagine you call a friend in Australia. You wear a haptic glove with SSDs and your friend also wears a glove with 3D force sensors. If your friend picks up an object, it will physically press against your friend's fingers. And the glove with 3D force sensors will measure the interaction.The force signals can be sent to your glove so your device will generate the same 3D forces, making you experience the same sense of touch as your friend.The haptic devices could be used in various fields, allowing users to feel objects inside a virtual world or at a distance. This could be especially beneficial during such times like the COVID19 pandemic when people were relying on video calls to stay connected with loved ones.Or they could be used in medical practices. Doctors could feel a patient's organ tissues without directly touching them.【语篇解读】视频电话已司空见惯，现在科学家们正在努力把在视频电话中触摸对方变为现实，本文介绍了新南威尔士大学的研究者们发明的一种可以在多领域使用的触觉设备。5What does the underlined word “mimic” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?ARecall.BStrengthen.CCopy. DRepeat.解析：C词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“a haptic (触觉的) device that can recreate the sense of touch”可知，这种触觉设备可以再现触觉，故可推知画线词的意思是“复制”。故选C项。6What does the author focus on in the third paragraph?ALimitations of the haptic technology.BApplication of haptic devices.CCommon use of continuous vibration.DHaptic feedback with vibration.解析：A段落大意题。根据本段内容可知，如今触感技术已应用于许多电子设备，但连续使用时灵敏度会减少，现有技术很难在处于虚拟环境中的或远程的对象上重现触觉。故本段中作者聚焦于这种触觉技术的局限性。故选A项。7In which of the following situations can SSDs be used according to the author?ATasting a dish on the video.BFeeling a dress being sold online.CGiving a telephone interview.DReceiving on­site medical treatment.解析：B推理判断题。根据第六段第一句可知，这种触觉设备可以在各种领域使用，使用户可以在虚拟世界中或在远处感受物体，故可推知B项符合语境。8Which word can best describe SSDs according to the text?AUnrealistic. BConventional.CInnovative. DAdjustable.解析：C推理判断题。根据文章首段内容和第二段中的“Researchers . a haptic (触觉的) device that can recreate the sense of touch.”可知，能再现触觉的技术是创新的。故选C项。.完形填空Dave Kellner, of Riegelsville, decided to share his beloved cello (大提琴) with a young musician with ability and ambition who didn't have one.
