A

Are you willing to work for a robot boss？Sorry if your answer was "no”，because

it will be common in the near future，according to researchers from Oxford．

A third of British jobs are at "high risk'’of being replaced- by- robots in the next

20 years，the research by Deloitte，the Oxford Martin School and the University of

Oxford found．

Wired magazine went further. "It may be hard to believe，but before the end of

this century, 70 percent of today's occupations will be replaced by automation（自动

化技术）”said the magazine in 2012·

Of course，people being replaced by robots is not recent news．Robots have been

taking over labor work in factories and on farms for some time，lifting heavy boxes

and picking fruit and vegetables．Next, cleaning chores in offices and schools will be

taken over by late-night robots，starting with easy-to-do floors and windows and

eventually moving to toilets，Wired predicted．

But that，s just the beginning．Even white-collar jobs are not safe．Any job dealing

with sales，services or lots of paperwork could be taken over by robots in the future．

For example，in the UK, library assistants have decreased by 48 percent since 2001，

sales-related jobs have fallen by 40 percent, and travel agents by 44 percent, the Daily

Mail reported.

But that doesn，t mean that human beings will have nothing to do in the future．

Instead, we need to update our skills. Digital（数字化的）know-how, management

and creativity will be in greater demand in the future，said British consulting company

Deloitte．

31 ．The underlined sentence means

A．a third of British j obs are dangerous

B ．a third of British jobs are of high profit

C ．British people may lose a third of their j obs

D ．British people may replace a third of robots’jobs

32．From the passage，we know late-night robots axe mainly made to do ．

A. factory and farm jobs B．cleaning j obs

C. difficult jobs D. white-.collar jobs

33．In the UK, sales-related j obs have decreased by since 2 0 l o．

A. 70% B. 48% C. 44% D. 40%

34一The best title for this passage is ．

A．Robots to Take Charge B ．Robots to Be Smarter．

C ．Robots to Do Hard Jobs D．Robots to Do Paperwork

B

Barbecuing has been an art form ever since hunting and fire were mastered．

Many countries claim it as their own．

In France，the phrase "barbe a queue'，一meaning "from head to tail'，一has

been used to describe a method of cooking a pig whole．In the US，BBQ，which is

considered to be short for "barbecue'，，was once used on old roadhouse signs that

advertised "bar, beer and cues（球杆）．”

But in Australia, "where gas barbecues can be found in just about every backyard

and balcony in the country, barbecuing is considered a basic right'，noted CNN.

On November 15，Australia，s Prime Minister Tony Abbott hosted a traditional

Aussie barbecue lunch to treat、the world，s most powerful leaders who had arrived in

Brisbane，Queensland for the G20 Leaders Summit. The lunch not only featured the

traditional burnt but tasty steak and sausages，but also other special Australian foods．

So how did the barbecue become such an important part of the country，s culture?

In Australia, firing up the barbie（烧烤架）and laid-back outdoor eating are almost a

way of life，said Cue.

Barbecuing came to be thought of as an important part of the Aussie lifestyle in

the 1960s, when the "chop（排骨）picnic" became part of the Aussie language. "We

love the great outdoors so much that something like that great Australian tradition, the

‘barbie’，was certain to happen,，，Australian author Mark Thomson wrote in his book

the Legendary Australian Barbecue．

B ．It is mostly done over burning wood．

C ．Only wealthy people can afford it.

D ．It is often seen- on special occasions．

38．The main purpose of the passage is to introduce　　　　　　·

A．Australian barbecuing culture　 B ．different barbecuing in the world

C ．G20 Leaders Summit 　　　　D．the ancient Australian lifestyle

C

YA：Although people should face the consequences of their behavior, lives are

the most valuable thing and should be respected and guaranteed．People don，t have

the chance to correct their errors·and make a new start if their lives are taken away．

Also，it would be a disaster if the wrong person were given the death penalty(死刑）·

YB：I support getting rid of the death penalty． Violence should never be met with

violence．Abolishing the death penalty could help people to realize the power of

forgiveness and love．It could also get officials to　focus more on preventing crimes

instead of punishing the criminals after they have been committed,．

YC：The goal of laws and penalties is not to punish criminals but to keep people

from committing crimes．Corrective education would be much better than the death

‘penalty，as it could help people understand their crimes and feel sorry from the

bottom of their hearts rather than just fear death．

NA：We need the death penalty．Those who do great harm to others and affect

society badly are supposed to be punished seriously．They should be responsible for

their behavior. Without the death penalty, some peo
