3．For decades，world wars and fears of a brave new world have made British workers very anxious.Yet it appears that the rise of robots has been overestimated，according to new data.The Office of National Statistics（ONS）published a series of data which showed that far fewer jobs are at risk of replacement by robots than previously thought.
In 2017，out of the 19.9 million jobs analyzed in England，7.4 percent of people were employed in jobs at high risk of replacement.This marked a fall of 0.7 percent less than in 2011.However，the number of employees that were in jobs at low risk of replacement in 2017 was 27.7 percent of all employees，a rise of 2.4 percent since 2011.
The ONS found that the three jobs with the highest possibility of replacement are waiters and waitresses，shelf fillers and the most basic sales jobs.As expected，regular things in a fixed order and repeated tasks can be carried out more quickly and efficiently by an algorithm（計算程序）written by a human，or a machine designed for specific functions.Therefore，the risk of replacement in such jobs is to be higher.
However，the three jobs at the lowest risk of replacement are doctors，higher education professionals and senior education professionals.Furthermore，while the general number of jobs has increased，most of these are jobs that are at low or medium（中等的）risk，suggesting that the labour market may be changing to jobs that require more complex skills.
Alessandro，an expert in AI，said he was not surprised by the fall in jobs which were at risk. "When something like technology becomes fashionable，there's a rise in major expectations.Our expectation reaches the highest point，and then it comes back down to a more realistic level， "he added.
（1）What do data in paragraph 2 mainly want to show？
A．Robots are helpful to job market.
B．The future oks bright.
C．Robots have better performance than people.
D．The threat of job replacement by robots isn't as serious as expected.
（2）What's the finding of the ONS in paragraph 3？
A．Regular and repeated tasks are likely to be replaced.
B．The work of service will no longer exist.
C．More people prefer working on computers.
D．Jobs with lower pay will totally be replaced by machines
（3）What is Alessandro's attitude towards the finding shown in the text？
A．Doubtful.
B．Uncertain.
C．Supportive.
D．Critical.
（4）What is the suitable title for the text？
A．Most Jobs Are Being Replaced by Robot
B．Jobs Replaced by Robots Are Fewer Than Thought
C．People's Anxiety on Education
D．The Robot Application on Education Industry組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5 -
4．Growing up，we are constantly reminded that young people are heavily affected by technology.We are the "antisocial club"，those who prefer to text our friends in the same room rather than make eye contact with them.And even though never-ending studies reveal to us the extent of our social media addiction，we should at least consider that it's not only our young people's problem any more.
There's the rise of the Instagram mums，who like to post an abundance of cute baby pictures，share their mom feelings along the way and show their wonderful lifestyles.They are the so-called "Facebook mum generation"，a growing group of parents that like to overshare.
While all of this might be fine，and even a little humorous，new research suggests that parents' technology addiction is negatively affecting their children's behavior.According to the study，40% of mothers and 32% of fathers have admitted having some sort of phone addiction.This has led to a significant fall in verbal interactions（語言互動） within families and even a decline in mothers' encouraging their children.
There is no denying that I get annoyed when receiving the words "I'll be with you soon" from a parent，when all I want to do is ask one question.But，at the same time，every day leaving the room to wait until my father is finished with his "serious business"（Farmville），has now become the norm.Whether you want to escape your disturbing children for a bit，or want to stay up late flicking through Twitter，know that wanting to do all of these is normal.We，your children，know how addictive it can be and how difficult it is to switch off.But before telling us to put our phones away at the table or even worse，listing statistics of how damaging social media can be for us，maybe lead by example，considering how much time you spend on the phone and how this is impacting your children and your relationship with us.Maybe in this way we can work on our addiction together.
（1）From Paragraph 1，we can know that teenagers nowadays.
A．enjoy socializing with their friends
B．send messages to their friends every day
C．hate to make eye contact with their friends
D．a(chǎn)re heavily addicted to their mobile phones
（2）What does the author think of mums' oversharing？
A．Boring.
B．Selfish.
C．Funny.
D．Meaningful.
（3）The underlined word "norm" in Paragraph 4 probably means.
A．security
B．standard
C．routine
D．custom
（4）What's the main purpose of the article？
A．To share the author's own experience with the readers.
B．To call on parents to get rid of their own media addiction.
C．To reveal that parents are always addicted to mobile phones.
D．To show the author's dissatisfaction with parents' phone use.組卷：1引用：4難度：0.5

Yesterday a heat wave hit the town. "It's too hot!Let's go for a swim after we finish our chores（家務(wù)活）at home!" Joseph complained to his little brother，Loren.As the boys walked toward the Little Colorado River，they saw Sam and Frank，who ran to join them. "Swimming's just what we need to cool off!" Sam said，kicking a rock.
"Sure it is，" Frank agreed.Then he looked at the field they were passing.There were many round watermelons in Farmer Davis's patch（小塊地）. "Hey，Joseph" Frank said，"do you have the courage to climb over that fence and get us a ripe（成熟的）watermelon？"
"I don't know. " Joseph said.
Loren looked uncomfortable. "I don't think that's a good idea."
"Come on，" Frank said，pushing Joseph toward the fence. "No one will ever know."
Then Frank started to climb the wooden fence.Joseph felt bad but climbed the fence and jumped with Frank into the watermelon patch.
Joseph took the closest melon and raced back to the fence.The other boys laughed and took turns carrying the heavy melon as they ran to the river.Finally they broke open the watermelon.The sticky sweet juice was delicious!But Joseph regretted what they had done and wished he hadn't taken the melon.
On the walk home，they finished off the last piece of the melon just as they passed the watermelon patch again.Joseph lowered his head quickly when he saw Farmer Davis in the field.He waved at the boys，who quickly threw the melon rinds（皮）to the side of the road.Davis looked upset as the boys hurried by.Joseph felt terrible.It was wrong to take the watermelon.He knew he had to tell Farmer Davis what they had done and ask for forgiveness（寬?。?
That evening Farmer Davis visited Joseph and Loren at their house. "One of my biggest watermelons went missing，" he said，"I was wondering if you boys happened to see anyone in my field as you passed by today."
