縱觀全文可知,,作者提到無現(xiàn)金支付即電子支付的好處,也提到電子支付引起的擔(dān)憂,對待電子支付是。故選B。大多數(shù)金融公司都渴望放棄它,或者以高昂的費用勸阻老式客戶。根據(jù)第四段中的 “But equally important is that suppliers such as banks and tech firms (in developed markets)... Most financial firms are keen to abandon it, or discourage oldfashioned customers with heavy fees.”可知現(xiàn)金消失的一個重要原因就是諸如銀行和科技公司(在發(fā)達市場)和電信公司(在新興市場)之類的供應(yīng)商正在開發(fā)快速,易于使用的支付技術(shù),他們可以從中提取數(shù)據(jù)和小費。故選C。根據(jù)第三段中的“In Sweden the number of retail cash transaction per person has fallen by 80% in the past ten years.”可知在過去的十年中,瑞典的人均零售現(xiàn)金交易數(shù)量下降了80%;再根據(jù)“In China digital payments rose from 4% of all payments in 2012 to 34% in 2017.”可知在中國,數(shù)字支付從2012年占所有支付的4%上升到2017年的34%。故選D。根據(jù)第一段中的“Rich countries are racing to dematerialise payments.”可知, 富裕國家正競相將支付非物質(zhì)化;再根據(jù)第三段中的“In Sweden the number of retail cash transaction per person has fallen by 80% in the past ten years.”在過去的十年中,瑞典的人均零售現(xiàn)金交易數(shù)量下降了80%??偟膩碚f,無現(xiàn)金經(jīng)濟的未來是個好消息,但是對于電子支付人們也有一些擔(dān)憂。D.C.B.. A.s attitude towards digitalized payment is the infrastructure is developing at a high speed in developed marketsD.younger consumers are short of money to live their digital livesB.China is developing faster that those developed countries in digital payment(3)Cash is disappearing largely because that cash is still king across the worldC.. A.promote payment without paper money or coins(2)In paragraph 3, several countries are mentioned to show get rid of the sideeffects of cashC.. A. Yet set against these benefits are a couple of worries. Electronic payment systems may risk technical failures, power failure and cyberattacks. In a cashless economy the poor, the elderly and country folk may be left behind. And a digital system could let governments watch over people39。 Cash is dying out because of two forces. One is demand— younger consumers want payment systems that plug easily into their digital lives. But equally important is that suppliers such as banks and tech firms (in developed markets) and teles panies (in emerging ones) are developing fast, easytouse payment technologies from which they can pull data and pocket fees. There is a high cost to running the infrastructure behind the cash economy—ATMs, vans carrying notes, tellers who accept coins. Most financial firms are keen to abandon it, or discourage oldfashioned customers with heavy fees. For the past 3,000 years, when people thought of money they thought of cash. Over the past decade, however, digital payments have taken off— tapping your plastic on a terminal or swiping a smartphone has bee normal. Now this revolution is about to turn cash into an endangered species in some rich economies. That will make the economy more efficient—but it also causes new problems that could hold back the transition(轉(zhuǎn)型).7.閱讀理解 進行培訓(xùn)是為了得到專業(yè)技能,由此推斷作者會給出一直提升人們的專業(yè)技能的建議,故選D。 (4)考查推理判斷。排除A;再根據(jù)第四段中的“as the fourth type is much larger: jobs where emotions are needed, such as teachers, nannies and doctors.”可知需要情感的工作,例如老師,保姆和醫(yī)生也不大可能被取代,因此排除C和D。人工智能不可能像科學(xué)家,小說家和藝術(shù)家那樣進行發(fā)明創(chuàng)造。根據(jù)第三段中的“First, there are creative jobs. AI needs to be given a goal to optimize. It cannot invent, like scientists, novelists and artists can.”可知四種類型的工作完全沒有風(fēng)險。結(jié)合下文推斷人工智能能夠具有取代人類的工作是因為AI在日常任務(wù)中表現(xiàn)超過了人類,劃線詞的意思是勝過,超過,故選A。 (2)考查詞義猜測。而后文主要與人工智能有關(guān),由此推斷作者寫第一段的目的是引出人工智能這個話題。但是,他不會說法語。根據(jù)第一段可知一個名叫奈杰爾因此,在人工智能時代人類仍然會有工作,關(guān)鍵必須是對勞動力進行再培訓(xùn),這樣人們才能從事這些工作。Upgrade people39。Get more support from the government.C.The psychologist.(4)Which of the following suggestions can the author give about job replacement of AI? A.C.The shop assistant.Be related to(3)Which of the following jobs is the most likely to be replaced? A.Be similar toBe inferior toBe superior toTo stress the importance of good memory.D.To mention Nigel39。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.(1)What is the main purpose of paragraph 1? A. Are you worried that these three types of jobs won39。 But not every job will be replaced by AI. In fact 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.6.閱讀理解 故選B。所以短文的最佳標(biāo)題為讓現(xiàn)代科技溫暖你的冬日。人們憑借科學(xué)技術(shù)發(fā)明了各式各樣的防寒方法。通讀全文可知,在科技并不發(fā)達的過去,人們可能會為如何在嚴寒天氣里更好地保暖而倍感困擾。故選C。先進的技術(shù)、引擎環(huán)和設(shè)計為我們提供了解決老問題的新方法。根據(jù)第二段中的Fortunately, things don39。故選A。根據(jù)第四段中的 At the touch of a button, or through an app on our phones, the clothing generates heat from elements placed inside. 可知,只要按下按鈕,或者通過手機上 應(yīng)用程序,安裝在衣服內(nèi)部的電子元件就會產(chǎn)生熱量。故選D。所以通過 keep warm可知,外出時要想暖和一些,就要多穿衣服。根據(jù)第一段中的In my memory, winters always used to be really unpleasant. You had to bundle up just to keep warm when you went outside. 可知,在我的記憶中,冬天總是很不令人愉快。比如,用智能電子設(shè)備調(diào)節(jié)屋內(nèi)和衣物的溫度;使用無線科技制造會自動發(fā)熱的服飾。現(xiàn)如今,每到嚴冬時節(jié),雖然溫度驟降、天氣惡劣,但隨著各類智能保暖產(chǎn)品的問世,冬天也能變得舒適宜人。D.Ways of keeping warmB.s the best title of this passage? A.technology can do nothing to make winter less roughD.s model can be controlled by saying something to itB.It keeps warm for over 12 hours after being charged fox an hour.(3)From the passage, we can lean the following statements EXCEPT that ________. A.It needs to be warned up before being used.C.Put on more clothes.(2)How does electronic thermal clothing work? A.C.Take a hot bath.t be really, really cool.(1)What do the underlined words bundle up mean in ? A.t freeze up. With the right solutions, there39。 Finally, there is the clothing for the head, beanie s and Earmuff, that feature speakers included in the fabric using Bluetooth technology so we can listen to our favourite music or, in some cases,
