Prize.As they walked out of the airport,Quinn received a call and stepped aside to speak.When he turned back a minute or two later,he lost Yuan.“I had never before lost a laureate(贵人),”he said.After a

conversation.Quinn admired Yuan as a teacher.“He always had time to answer questions and speak with young scientists and students.The American high school students we sent to his research center each year always returned filled with knowledge and a deep desire to learn more.”In Quinns eyes,Yuan was incredibly humble,never seeking fame,and focused only on hard work and results that could help lift people out of poverty.With a down to earth attitude,Yuan greatly reduced hunger and provided farmers with surplus income through his discovery of hybrid rice.Learning of Yuans passing away on Saturday,Quinn issued a statement to send his deepest sympathy to Yuans family and colleagues in China,as well as his admirers across the world.“Professor Yuan Longping,who was truly beloved in his

game,and that there will be nowhere for humans to withdraw as machines take over the last few tasks.The most recent example comes from the use of artificial intelligence(AI).Is there no area of human experience that cant be replaced by AI?And if not,what is left for humans to do except the tasks involved in taking care of the machines?At the heart of this concern is our desire for good jobs jobs that make the most ofworkers natural abilities and where the work provides the worker with motivation and work-life balance.More importantly,good jobs support workers in learning by doing and,in so doing,deliver benefits on three levels:to the worker,who gains in personal development and job satisfaction;to the organization,which reforms as staff find new problems to solve and opportunities to pursue;and to the community as a whole,which harvests the economic benefits of hosting positive organizations and workers.This is what makes good jobs productive for the organization,as well as engaging and fulfilling for the worker.Does the ongoing advance of AI threaten to get rid of all the learning,creativity,and meaning that make a job a good job?Certainly,some have blamed technology for just such an outcome.Headlines today often express concern over technological innovation resulting in bad jobs for humans,or even the complete disappearance of certain professions.Some fear that further technology advancement in the workplace will result in jobs where employees are being asked to work in split times or for longer periods over more days.The problem here isnt the technology;rather,its the way the technology is used and,more than that,the way people think about using it.28.What is the passage mainly about?A.How to take care of the AI machines.B.The humans fears in the age of AI.C.The relations between workers and jobs.D.Human experiences were replaced by AI.29.What jobs are supposed to be good according to the passage?A.Those that mainly have the economic benefits.B.Those that make full use of workers motivation.C.The ones that offer chances to progress professionally.D.The ones that dont bring new problems to workers.30How do news media respond to the development of AI?AUnknown.BSupportive.COptimistic.DNegative.31.What will the author probably talk about next?A.The proper attitude towards AI.B.The prospect of AI in the future.C.The ways that humans do jobs.D.The future jobs humans will do.DLONDONA smart toilet could offer a mini health check every time you take a seat,scientists said recently,but privacy campaigners and potential users said the idea satuncomfortably with them.The device would identify users through an anal(肛门)scan using a camera fitted under the seat before checking their waste for disease markers,including early signs of cancer,says the US-led team who developed the prototype(原型).“We know it seems strange,but as it turns out,your anal print is unique,”said Sanjiv Gambhir,a radiology professor at Stanford University,who led work on the project.“The smart toilet is the perfect way to make use of a source of data thats typically ignored,”Gambhir said.“Everyone uses the bathroomtheres really no avoiding itand that enhances its value as a disease-detecting device.”A set of devices fitted inside the toilet bowl identifies the users and monitors their waste for signs of ill health which could be shared with their doctors,researchers said in the scientific journal Nature Biomedical Engineering.Such devices could become common place in homes,said Gambhir,as consumers accept health monitoring tools like smartwatches and internet-connected home devices.But many were concerned about releasing their privacy,the researchers found following a 300-person survey to assess acceptance.Three in ten respondents said they would not want to use a smart toilet,with only about half reporting they would be“somewhat”or“very”comfortable with it.The most commonly reported concerns were over privacy and data security,found researchers,who said information gathered would be stored in a secure,cloud-based system.Despite those assurances,privacy campaigners expressed fears about security problems.“Health data contains the most sensitive and revealing information about anyone,”said Edin Omanovic,advocacy director at London-based charity Privacy International.“Linking it to someones biometric ID risks exposing private details to third parties,either through data sharing or security drawbacks which leave back doors exposed.”32.What does this smart toilet use to detect disease?AA smartwatch.BA camera.CA cloud-based system.DA seat.33What can we know about the disease-detecting devices?AThey are widely accepted.BSigns of illness can be removed through them.CTheir function has been improved recently.DGamhhir has confidence in their future.34.What can we infer about health data from the last paragraph?AIt neednt be taken seriously.BIt will be treated properly.CIt can be exposed illegally.DIt may not be shared publicly.35.Which of the following could be the best title for the text?AA smart toilet with good intentionBThe value of a smart toiletCA smart toilet without privacyDThe use of a smart toilet第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为 多余选项。多余选项。Simple Tips to
