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).5．閱讀理解 故選A。該劃線句子的字面意思是：機(jī)器人保姆可能會(huì)覺得自己已經(jīng)獲得了未來的工作，但事實(shí)上，他們的位置可能會(huì)更好。故選C。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。 （2）考查詞義猜測(cè)。也就是說，Starship Technologies公司創(chuàng)造的是一款配送物品的機(jī)器人。根據(jù)第一段中的The robot, created by a startup called Starship Technologies in 2014, is basically a cooler on wheels。本文以對(duì)相關(guān)信息進(jìn)行了介紹說明。We still need someone to look after robots in the future.D.Robot carers will have a petitive advantage in the future.B.A lot of job opportunities will be created.D.Autonomous vehicles will bee much cheaper.B.D.are in relation ofB.are in the category ofD.A restaurant robot.B.A factory robot. Mckinsey estimates that millions of jobs globally could be lost to automation by 2030. A huge number of jobs will be produced as autonomous vehicles are released into the environment, Ramsey said. In 2016, Bosch started training students from Schoolcraft College, a munity college in Michigan, in autonomousvehicle repair。s digital eyes will roll depending on its mood. Rodriguez, who heads business development for the startup, was tasked, early on, with monitoring the KiwiBot for problems – even carrying it, should the motors fail. Since April 2018, though, the KiwiBot has largely been left unattended, and the majority of human interactions involve technical checks and loading food into the robot. To eliminate the boring work, the team is developing a restaurant robot to collect and load orders – which could happen in 2020. However, Rodriguez assured me that his staff won39。s campus while it delivered Red bull and other drinks to students. To retrieve (檢索) orders, the app encourages students to give the robot a wave。 Broadly speaking, jobs of caring for robots fall under the umbrella of careers in automation, which include maintenance, engineering and programming. The demand for people with this skill set is considerable, with 20 million to 50 million new jobs to be expected in this category by 2030, according to the Mckinsey Global Institute. In the year that ended in June 2018, had almost three times the number of positions on the recruitment mittee that ended in June 2016.s job was to monitor how it handled various grounds, field ments from the public, and press the off switch if necessary. He said, People would also ask if it could deliver beer. It couldn39。 During the winter of 2017, an 18year old college student named Canon Reeves spent much of his time trailing a kneehigh robot around Fayetteville, Arkansas, as it delivered Amazon packages to students. The robot, created by a startup called Starship Technologies in 2014, is basically a cooler on wheels。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇科研類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，同時(shí)根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案?？v觀全文可知，本文介紹了最近的一項(xiàng)研究，一種新的轉(zhuǎn)基因水稻可以預(yù)防艾滋病病毒的感染。故選C。根據(jù)最后一段中的“The scientific team says further testing is needed to ensure that the genetic engineering process does not produce any additional chemicals that could be dangerous to people.”可知，科學(xué)研究小組認(rèn)為要進(jìn)一步的測(cè)試，以確保基因工程過程不會(huì)產(chǎn)生任何可能對(duì)人類有害的額外化學(xué)物質(zhì)。故選D。根據(jù)第五段中的“They say the easiest and most costeffective way to use the rice will be to make it into a cream to be put on the skin.”可知，最簡(jiǎn)單、最劃算的使用方法是將大米制成面霜涂在皮膚上。分析選項(xiàng)可知A項(xiàng)符合題意， 故選A。盡管口服藥物治療已經(jīng)有了進(jìn)展減緩了疾病的發(fā)展，但現(xiàn)在還沒有治愈艾滋病毒/艾滋病的方法”。 （1）考查推理判斷。A first aid brochure.【答案】 （1）A（2）D（3）C（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了科學(xué)家培育出可預(yù)防艾滋病病毒感染的轉(zhuǎn)基因水稻。A health magazine.C.It applies to the developed world.（4）From which is the text probably taken?
