【解析】
本文是說明文,介紹了特技演員工作的一些情況。
【1】考查非謂語動詞。句意:我們喜歡看令人興奮的特技表演。 短語enjoy doing…“喜歡做……”, enjoy后接動名詞作賓語。故填watching。
【2】考查形容詞。句意:特技演員過著忙碌而充滿活力的生活。修飾名詞life,應(yīng)用形容詞;energy是名詞,形容詞為energetic,意思為“精力充沛的,有活力的”。故填energetic。
【3】考查名詞。句意:許多特技演員從武術(shù)或體操開始,從中他們培養(yǎng)力量。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu),所填詞是develop的賓語,應(yīng)該用名詞; strong是形容詞,名詞為strength,意思為“力量,實力,長處”。故填strength。
【4】考查可數(shù)名詞的單數(shù)。句意:有經(jīng)驗的特技演員學(xué)習(xí)許多額外的技能,如騎馬、使用炸藥和潛水。skill是可數(shù)名詞,前面有many,因此應(yīng)該用復(fù)數(shù)形式。故填skills。
【5】考查從屬連詞。句意:特技演員在制作電影或電視節(jié)目的地方工作。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu),空后是地點狀語從句,應(yīng)用where引導(dǎo)地點狀語從句,意思為“在……地方”;也可以用wherever引導(dǎo)地點狀語從句,意思為“在……的任何地方”。故填wherever/where。
【6】考查時態(tài)和語態(tài)。句意:好萊塢被稱為世界電影之都。句子敘述的是客觀事實,應(yīng)用一般現(xiàn)在時;短語be known as“作為……而聞名”;因此句子用一般現(xiàn)在時的被動語態(tài)be done;句子主語Hollywood是單數(shù),be動詞應(yīng)用單數(shù)形式;也可用現(xiàn)在完成時的被動語態(tài)has/have been done,強調(diào)對現(xiàn)在的影響或結(jié)果。故填is known/ has been known。
【7】考查介詞。句意:其他有著繁忙的電影或電視制片廠的地方包括加拿大的溫哥華和澳大利亞的昆士蘭。根據(jù)句意,此處用介詞with,表示“具有”。故填with。
【8】考查時態(tài)。句意:在沙漠、叢林和山區(qū)等偏遠地區(qū)拍攝使得他們經(jīng)常旅行。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu),句子主語Filming in remote places such as deserts, jungles, and mountains是動名詞短語,因此謂語動詞keep應(yīng)該用單數(shù)形式;句子敘述的是客觀情況,應(yīng)用一般現(xiàn)在時。故填keeps。
【9】考查冠詞。句意:特技工作是一項極限工作。這里泛指“一項極限工作”,此處不定冠詞an表示數(shù)量,意思為“一個,一種”;extreme的發(fā)音是以元音因素開頭,因此用不定冠詞an。故填an。
【10】考查固定句式。句意:特技演員知道他們的工作是如此危險,以至于一個輕微的誤判,或者一個損壞的設(shè)備,都可能導(dǎo)致嚴(yán)重的事故。前面有so,根據(jù)句意,此處是so…that引導(dǎo)結(jié)果狀語從句,意思為“如此……以至于”。故填that。

【題目】That robots, automation, and software can replace people might seem obvious to anyone who’s worked in automotive manufacturing. But MIT business scholars Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee’s claim is more troubling and controversial. They believe that rapid technological change has been destroying jobs faster than it is creating them.
They believe that technology increases productivity and makes societies wealthier, but it became clear to them that the same technologies making many jobs safer, easier, and more productive were also reducing the demand for many types of human workers. Technologies like the Web, artificial intelligence, and big data are automating many routine tasks. Countless traditional white-collar jobs, such as many in the post office and in customer service, have disappeared.
As evidence, Brynjolfsson and McAfee point to a chart on which separate lines represent productivity and total employment in the United States. For years after World War II, the two lines closely tracked each other, with increases in jobs corresponding to increases in productivity. Then, beginning in 2000, the lines diverge; productivity continues to rise steadily, but employment suddenly shrinks. By 2011, a significant gap appears between the two lines, showing economic growth with no parallel increase in job creation.
United States Productivity and Employment
But are these new technologies really responsible for a decade of lackluster (無生氣) job growth? David Autor, an economist at MIT who has studied the connections between jobs and technology, doubts that technology could account for such a sudden change in total employment. Moreover, he also doubts that productivity has, in fact, risen steadily in the United States in the past decade. If he’s right, it raises the possibility that poor job growth could be simply a result of a depressed economy. The sudden slowdown in job creation “is a big puzzle,” he says, “but there’s not a lot of evidence that it’s linked to computers.” “To be sure, computer technologies are changing the types of jobs available, but that is very different from saying technology is affecting the total number of jobs,” he adds. “Jobs can change a lot without there being huge changes in employment rates.”
Lawrence Katz, a Harvard economist, says that while technological changes can be painful for workers whose skills no longer match the needs of employers, no historical pattern shows these shifts leading to a net decrease in jobs over an extended period. Still, Katz doesn’t dismiss the notion that there is something different about today’s digital technologies. Though he expects the historical pattern to hold, it is “genuinely a question,” he says. “If technology disrupts enough, who knows what will happen?”
【1】Which period on the chart strongly supports McAfee’s claim?
A. 1947—1967. B. 1985—1987.
C. 1997—2000. D. 2011—2013.
【2】According to David Autor, the change in job growth ________.
A. is not necessarily caused by technology
B. results from a weakening economy
C. has no connection with productivity
D. affects the current types of jobs
【3】What is Lawrence Katz’s attitude towards the topic?
A. Optimistic. B. Defensive.
C. Objective. D. Disapproving.
【4】The main purpose of the passage is to ________.
A. show the relation between productivity and job creation
B. discuss the effect of technological advances on employment
C. argue against the wide use of artificial intelligence
D. explain the impact of technologies on productivity
