A.To show technology advances in our daily life.B.To prove technologies cause low ines.C.To introduce what the Gig Economy is.D.To warn the Gig Economy is ing.【答案】 （1）C（2）B（3）B（4）A（5）D 【解析】【分析】短文大意：本文主要介紹了隨著技術(shù)進(jìn)步，很多公司使用更多的機(jī)器人，不再需要很多全職工人，零工經(jīng)濟(jì)時(shí)代很快就會(huì)到來(lái)，并舉出Uber公司的例子加以說(shuō)明。 （1）詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第二段第一句Some robots already cost less to operate than the salaries of the humans they replace, and they are getting cheaper. 可知機(jī)器人的成本比人力更便宜，未來(lái)很多公司會(huì)更多使用機(jī)器人。也就是說(shuō)機(jī)器人會(huì)奪走很多人的工作，故C項(xiàng)正確。 （2）推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段第一句Uber and many other panies are working on developing cars and trucks that don39。t need a driver in the driver39。s seat. 可知Uber公司開(kāi)發(fā)了無(wú)人駕駛技術(shù)，會(huì)大大地減少雇傭司機(jī)的工資付出，公司的運(yùn)營(yíng)成本會(huì)越來(lái)越低。故B項(xiàng)正確。 （3）推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段最后一句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. 可知兼職工作的人無(wú)法享受生病工資，也就是說(shuō)全職工作的人可以享受sick pay，這也是全職工作的優(yōu)勢(shì)，故B項(xiàng)正確。 （4）推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一句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. 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(guó)的出口。由此可見(jiàn)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(lái)。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(yǔ)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。8．閱讀理解 Teen Ink Contests Educator of the Year Contest Do you know an outstanding school teacher, coach, librarian, or principal?
