Some robots already cost less to operate than the salaries of the humans they replace, and they are getting cheaper. Boston Consulting Group predicts that, by 2025, the operating cost of a robot that does welding (焊接) will be less than $2 per hour, for example. That39。s more affordable than the $25 per hour that a human welder earns today in America. Uber and many other panies are working on developing cars and trucks that don39。t need a driver in the driver39。s seat. According to the American Trucking Associations, approximately 3 million truck drivers were employed in the United States in 2010, and 6. 8 million others were employed in other jobs relating to trucking activity. So roughly one of every 15 workers in the country is employed in the trucking business. We could be talking about millions of jobs disappearing in the early 2020s. And then there is the Gig Economy (零工經(jīng)濟(jì)) that has some businesses moving toward parttime, ondemand employment. Uber has already done this to taxi drivers, and other technology panies are doing it to a wide range of jobs. A study by Intuit predicted that, by 2020, 40% of American workers will be selfemployed, and that fulltime jobs will be harder to find. We are talking about 60 million people in this category. The problem is that not only do such parttime workers lack reliable fulltime jobs and sick pay, but they can39。t enjoy health insurance and longerterm benefits. The measures to be taken are to raise trade barriers. But closing the doors to foreign trade won39。t bring jobs back. It will only slow the global economy and hurt American exports, shrinking the U. S. economy and accelerating job loss. （1）The underlined word decimate in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by ______.

It will only slow the global economy and hurt American exports, shrinking the U. S. economy and accelerating job loss. 可知作者認(rèn)為關(guān)閉對(duì)外貿(mào)易并不能讓工作機(jī)會(huì)回歸，只會(huì)減緩全球經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展并傷害美國的出口。由此可見作者支持對(duì)外貿(mào)易。故A項(xiàng)正確。 （5）推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章前兩段可知技術(shù)進(jìn)步讓公司使用更多的機(jī)器人，不再需要很多全職工人。再根據(jù)第四段第一句And then there is the Gig Economy (零工經(jīng)濟(jì)) that has some businesses moving toward parttime, ondemand employment. 可知零工經(jīng)濟(jì)時(shí)代很快就會(huì)到來。故D項(xiàng)正確。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】考查閱讀理解。本文詞義猜測(cè)題和推理判斷題兩種?？碱}型，詞義猜測(cè)題要注意理解劃線詞匯所在語境需要表達(dá)的意思；推理判斷題需要聯(lián)系上下文，推斷出需要的信息。6．閱讀理解 Tomorrow brings to a close of the second school term of the 2018 academic year and the start of the winter school holidays.
