As a result, they miss opportunities because they are too focused on looking for something else.”可知，不幸的人通常比幸運(yùn)的人更緊張，而這種焦慮影響了他們注意到出乎意料的事情的能力。因此，他們錯(cuò)過(guò)了機(jī)會(huì)，因?yàn)樗麄冞^(guò)于專注于尋找其他東西。結(jié)合第二段中的實(shí)驗(yàn)可知，不幸的人錯(cuò)過(guò)了那個(gè)信息，因?yàn)樗麄儼堰^(guò)多的注意力放到尋找照片上了。故B選項(xiàng)正確。【10題詳解】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“My research eventually showed that lucky people are skilled at noticing opportunities, make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition (直覺(jué)), are open to new experiences, and adopt a neversaydie attitude that transforms bad luck into good luck.”可知，我的研究最終表明，幸運(yùn)的人們會(huì)注意到機(jī)遇，通過(guò)傾聽(tīng)他們的直覺(jué)來(lái)做出幸運(yùn)的決定，樂(lè)于接受新的體驗(yàn)，并采取一種永不放棄的態(tài)度，把壞運(yùn)氣轉(zhuǎn)化為好的運(yùn)氣。故結(jié)合選項(xiàng)，A選項(xiàng)切題：他們發(fā)現(xiàn)機(jī)遇的能力給他們帶來(lái)了好運(yùn)?！?1題詳解】主旨大意題。最后一段主要分析了幸運(yùn)的人為什么總是很幸運(yùn)的原因：他們善于注意到機(jī)遇，樂(lè)于接受新事物，永不放棄等等。故最后一段的中心為B選項(xiàng)：幸運(yùn)的人是如何創(chuàng)造好運(yùn)的。DIn 2015, a man named Nigel Richards memorized 386, 000 words in the entire French Scrabble Dictionary in just nine weeks. However, he does not speak French. Richards’ impressive feat is a useful example to show how artificial intelligence works — real AI. Both of Richard and AI take in massive amounts of data to achieve goals with unlimited memory and superman accuracy in a certain field.The potential applications for AI are extremely exciting. Because AI can outperform humans at routine tasks — provided the task is in one field with a lot of data — it is technically capable of replacing hundreds of millions of white and blue collar jobs in the next 15 years or so.But not every job will be replaced by AI. In fact, four types of jobs are not at risk at all. First, there are creative jobs. AI needs to be given a goal to optimize. It cannot invent, like scientists, novelists and artists can. Second, the plex, strategic jobs — executives, diplomats, economists — go well beyond the AI limitation of singlefield and Big Data. Then there are the asyetunknown jobs that will be created by AI.Are you worried that these three types of jobs won’t employ as many people as AI will replace? Not to worry, as the fourth type is much larger: jobs where emotions are needed, such as teachers, nannies and doctors. These jobs require passion, trust and sympathy — which AI does not have. And even if AI tried to fake it, nobody would want a robot telling them they have cancer, or a robot to babysit their children.So there will still be jobs in the age of AI. The key then must be retraining the workforce so people can do them. This must be the responsibility not just of the government, which can provide funds, but also of corporations and those who benefit most.12. What is the main purpose of paragraph 1?A. To introduce the topic.B. To mention Nigel’s feat.C. To stress the importance of good memory.D. To suggest humans go beyond AI in memory.13.

Upgrade themselves all the time.【答案】12. A 13. A 14. B 15.
