三、阅读理解。
阅读理解。
Robots now are doing more work than ever before. While some experts believe robots will help people in the future, others are worried. They say machines will someday perform 45 percent of the jobs humans now do. Some workers fear that machines are coming to take away their jobs.
Tim OReilly, the president of a technology company, says most computer software depends on human beings to keep it operating(运行). "It's so important that we have to think about not using technology to replace people—but to help them to do something that was impossible before the technology." O'Reilly says.
Jonathan Brewer, a trainer, says technology experts must consider how their inventions can help people. He adds there isn't much reason to have machines do difficult work if people are not able to use and enjoy the results of their work. But also, Brewer hopes that people and ma— chines will continue to work together. He says there is technology that tells city workers when street lights need to be repaired or when rubbish bins are full. That means the workers do no need to examine the lights or bins, as many now do. But he says when the technology tells when repairs are needed or bins must be emptied, humans still must provide the service.
Many people support technology and the changes it will bring. But many are also starting to think about its influence on humans and how to help people live in a world where machines do so much work.
26．Some people are afraid that the machines will____.
A．take their place to work B．refuse to listen to humans
C．do all the jobs for humans D．depend on humans too much
27．According to the passage, we know that the writer suggests____.
A．machines should replace people at work
B．people and machines should work together
C．people should learn to work without machines
D．machines shouldn't depend on people to operate
28．The underlined word "replace" probably means ____ in Chinese.
A．支援 B．阻挡 C．代替 D．鼓励
29．Which of the following is true according to the passage
A．Technology has been improved very slowly
B．Machines shouldn't do difficult work as humans do.
C．Technology has also brought disadvantages to people.
D．People are not able to use and enjoy the results of their work.
30．What's the main idea of the passage
A．Workers want to do more jobs than machines.
B．Workers hope there will be more machines to help them.
C．Workers ask tech companies to produce fewer machines.
D．Workers want machines to have less influence on their work

【解析】【分析】机器人现在做的工作比以往任何时候都多。虽然一些专家相信机器人在未来会帮助人类，但也有人对此表示担忧。他们说，有一天，机器将完成目前人类所做的45%的工作。一些工人担心机器会抢走他们的工作。
Tim OReilly是一家科技公司的总裁，他说大多数电脑软件都是靠人来运行的。"这非常重要，我们必须考虑的不是用技术来取代人，而是帮助他们做一些在技术出现之前不可能做到的事情。"O'reilly说。
培训师乔纳森·布鲁尔(Jonathan Brewer)表示，技术专家必须考虑他们的发明如何帮助人们。他补充说，如果人们不能使用和享受他们的工作成果，就没有太多理由让机器做困难的工作。同时，布鲁尔也希望人类和机器能够继续合作。他说，有一种技术可以告诉城市工人什么时候需要修理路灯，什么时候垃圾箱满了。这意味着工人们不需要像现在一样检查灯光或垃圾箱。但他表示，当技术告诉我们需要维修或必须清空垃圾箱时，人类仍然必须提供服务。
许多人支持技术及其带来的变化。但许多人也开始思考它对人类的影响，以及如何帮助人们生活在一个机器做很多工作的世界里。

Robots now are doing more work than ever before. While some experts believe robots will help people in the future, others are worried. They say machines will someday perform 45 percent of the jobs humans now do. Some workers fear that machines are coming to take away their jobs.
Tim OReilly, the president of a technology company, says most computer software depends on human beings to keep it operating(运行). "It's so important that we have to think about not using technology to replace people—but to help them to do something that was impossible before the technology." O'Reilly says.
Jonathan Brewer, a trainer, says technology experts must consider how their inventions can help people. He adds there isn't much reason to have machines do difficult work if people are not able to use and enjoy the results of their work. But also, Brewer hopes that people and ma— chines will continue to work together. He says there is technology that tells city workers when street lights need to be repaired or when rubbish bins are full. That means the workers do no need to examine the lights or bins, as many now do. But he says when the technology tells when repairs are needed or bins must be emptied, humans still must provide the service.
Many people support technology and the changes it will bring. But many are also starting to think about its influence on humans and how to help people live in a world where machines do so much work.
26．Some people are afraid that the machines will____.
A．take their place to work B．refuse to listen to humans
C．do all the jobs for humans D．depend on humans too much
27．According to the passage, we know that the writer suggests____.
A．machines should replace people at work
B．people and machines should work together
C．people should learn to work without machines
D．machines shouldn't depend on people to operate
28．The underlined word "replace" probably means ____ in Chinese.
A．支援 B．阻挡 C．代替 D．鼓励
29．Which of the following is true according to the passage
A．Technology has been improved very slowly
B．Machines shouldn't do difficult work as humans do.
C．Technology has also brought disadvantages to people.
D．People are not able to use and enjoy the results of their work.
30．What's the main idea of the passage
A．Workers want to do more jobs than machines.
B．Workers hope there will be more machines to help them.
C．Workers ask tech companies to produce fewer machines.
D．Workers want machines to have less influence on their work

【解析】【分析】机器人现在做的工作比以往任何时候都多。虽然一些专家相信机器人在未来会帮助人类，但也有人对此表示担忧。他们说，有一天，机器将完成目前人类所做的45%的工作。一些工人担心机器会抢走他们的工作。
Tim OReilly是一家科技公司的总裁，他说大多数电脑软件都是靠人来运行的。"这非常重要，我们必须考虑的不是用技术来取代人，而是帮助他们做一些在技术出现之前不可能做到的事情。"O'reilly说。
培训师乔纳森·布鲁尔(Jonathan Brewer)表示，技术专家必须考虑他们的发明如何帮助人们。他补充说，如果人们不能使用和享受他们的工作成果，就没有太多理由让机器做困难的工作。同时，布鲁尔也希望人类和机器能够继续合作。他说，有一种技术可以告诉城市工人什么时候需要修理路灯，什么时候垃圾箱满了。这意味着工人们不需要像现在一样检查灯光或垃圾箱。但他表示，当技术告诉我们需要维修或必须清空垃圾箱时，人类仍然必须提供服务。
许多人支持技术及其带来的变化。但许多人也开始思考它对人类的影响，以及如何帮助人们生活在一个机器做很多工作的世界里。
