1 / 13课时数智作业(四十)
选择性必修第四册　Unit 4　Everyday economics
Ⅰ．阅读理解(限时7分钟)
(2024·四川成都三模)
Almost 40% of all global employment may be affected by AI，according to analysis by the International Monetary Fund．But don't be alarmed．That doesn't mean 40% jobs will disappear altogether．Instead，we're talking about humans working alongside AI tools，not being replaced by them．
Speaking at the 2023 World Economic Forum's Growth Summit，economist Richard Baldwin said，“AI won't take your job．It's somebody using AI that will take your job．” This means that if you don't know how to work with AI，you're in a much riskier position—certainly compared to someone who knows how to use it to improve their job efficiency．
So，consider how you could start integrating AI into your everyday work．Can you use it to polish an email，for example？Can you use it as a productivity tool...If not，try your best to get to grips with it．There are tons of free (and paid) courses out there that can help you．
However，just knowing how to work effectively with AI is far from enough．It's also important to position yourself in the organization in line with the things that AI can't do．Basically，think about how you can take on more responsibilities in the areas where human skills are still needed and will always be needed—areas like creativity，complex decision-making，interpersonal relationships and so on．These are the areas where humans will continue to have the edge over machines．Anyone who wants to gain future workplace success should develop the relevant skills．
It's not surprising that change is uncomfortable．But today's workplaces are full of rapid and near-constant change．So，if change is something you struggle with，now is a good time to embrace and address that．
1．How may AI influence global employment in the future？(　　)
A．It may cause severe job loss．
B．It may threaten people's safety．
C．It may change the way we work．
D．It may lessen peer competition．
2．What can we infer from paragraph 4？(　　)
A．AI helps us become more creative．
B．AI can hardly replace us in some areas．
C．AI is much less effective than we think．
D．AI is able to make complicated decisions．
3．What is the writer's attitude towards the challenges caused by AI？(　　)
A．Positive． B．Doubtful．
C．Disappointed． D．Unconcerned．
4．What is the purpose of the text？(　　)
A．To share experience of using AI in work．
B．To advise us to stay relevant in the age of AI．
C．To introduce different functions of generative AI
D．To explain why we should improve our productivity．
Ⅱ．阅读七选五(限时7分钟)
(2024·山西大同三模)
Is It OK to Be Unhappy
Many people might say that you should always be happy，but is it okay to allow yourself time when sadness may prevail over happiness？We'll explore how sadness offers people opportunities for self-reflection and why people should appreciate their sorrow．
What is unhappiness
Many words are used to express sadness: suffering，misery，sorrow，pain，and more．It often results from other feelings like guilt，grief，anxiety，hopelessness，or anger． 1 It may differ from a person to another but it could change how you physically feel—a stomachache，headache，or sleep disorders．
2
Lots of people are growing unhappy due to mental health issues．Here are lists of situations: having problems with relationships，having trouble at home(eg．violence or financial issues)，having trouble at school or work，comparing self to others，losing a loved one and being self-critical．
Is it OK for a person to be unhappy
Everyone has different emotions: some are good while others can be negative．In other words，all people have feelings that are always changing in some way—and they happen for a reason! So is it OK to feel sadness？ 3
Sadness is a natural part of life．
It is okay to be unhappy．Being sad doesn't mean you are not coping with the situation． 4 Learning to recognize sad emotions can make you adapt better，accept more easily，and persevere when things may be too hard at times．
Things will eventually get better．
Keep in mind that your problems will not last forever and will eventually pass too! There is no right way to let go of sadness but what is not a secret is that the first step is the acknowledgment and acceptance of the pain you are feeling．It could be a lot but talking to someone you trust can be helpful． 5 Eat nutritious food，exercise regularly，and get enough sleep．
A．Why are people sad
B．Take good care of yourself．
C．The answer is a definite yes．
D．So what does it feel like to be sad
E．How can people get rid of sadness
F．There are also a lot of other effective solutions．
G．Rather it helps you accept your problems and move on．

Ⅰ．阅读理解(限时7分钟)
(2024·四川成都三模)
Almost 40% of all global employment may be affected by AI，according to analysis by the International Monetary Fund．But don't be alarmed．That doesn't mean 40% jobs will disappear altogether．Instead，we're talking about humans working alongside AI tools，not being replaced by them．
Speaking at the 2023 World Economic Forum's Growth Summit，economist Richard Baldwin said，“AI won't take your job．It's somebody using AI that will take your job．” This means that if you don't know how to work with AI，you're in a much riskier position—certainly compared to someone who knows how to use it to improve their job efficiency．
So，consider how you could start integrating AI into your everyday work．Can you use it to polish an email，for example？Can you use it as a productivity tool...If not，try your best to get to grips with it．There are tons of free (and paid) courses out there that can help you．
However，just knowing how to work effectively with AI is far from enough．It's also important to position yourself in the organization in line with the things that AI can't do．Basically，think about how you can take on more responsibilities in the areas where human skills are still needed and will always be needed—areas like creativity，complex decision-making，interpersonal relationships and so on．These are the areas where humans will continue to have the edge over machines．Anyone who wants to gain future workplace success should develop the relevant skills．
It's not surprising that change is uncomfortable．But today's workplaces are full of rapid and near-constant change．So，if change is something you struggle with，now is a good time to embrace and address that．
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了AI对全球就业的影响，建议人们要学习如何与AI有效合作，并思考如何在需要人类技能的领域承担更多责任，以保持在职场中的竞争力。
1．How may AI influence global employment in the future？(　　)
A．It may cause severe job loss．
B．It may threaten people's safety．
C．It may change the way we work．
D．It may lessen peer competition．
C　[推理判断题。根据文章第一段和第二段内容可推知，人工智能可能会改变我们的工作方式。故选C。]
2．What can we infer from paragraph 4？(　　)
A．AI helps us become more creative．
B．AI can hardly replace us in some areas．
C．AI is much less effective than we think．
D．AI is able to make complicated decisions．
B　[推理判断题。根据文章第四段可知，在创造力、复杂决策、人际关系等领域，人类将继续比机器有优势。由此可知，人工智能在某些领域很难取代人类。故选B。]
3．What is the writer's attitude towards the challenges caused by AI？(　　)
A．Positive． B．Doubtful．
C．Disappointed． D．Unconcerned．
A　[推理判断题。根据文章最后一段内容可知，作者对人工智能带来的挑战持积极态度。故选A。]
4．What is the purpose of the text？(　　)
A．To share experience of using AI in work．
B．To advise us to stay relevant in the age of AI．
C．To introduce different functions of generative AI
D．To explain why we should improve our productivity．
B　[推理判断题。文章主要讨论了AI对全球就业的影响，并指出虽然AI可能会影响到许多工作，但并不意味着这些工作会完全消失，而是人们将和AI工具一起工作。文章建议人们要学习如何与AI有效合作，并思考如何在需要人类技能的领域承担更多责任，以保持在职场中的竞争力。因此，文章的主要目的是建议我们在AI时代保持相关性。故选B。]

Is It OK to Be Unhappy
Many people might say that you should always be happy，but is it okay to allow yourself time when sadness may prevail over happiness？We'll explore how sadness offers people opportunities for self-reflection and why people should appreciate their sorrow．
What is unhappiness
Many words are used to express sadness: suffering，misery，sorrow，pain，and more．It often results from other feelings like guilt，grief，anxiety，hopelessness，or anger． 1 It may differ from a person to another but it could change how you physically feel—a stomachache，headache，or sleep disorders．
2
Lots of people are growing unhappy due to mental health issues．Here are lists of situations: having problems with relationships，having trouble at home(eg．violence or financial issues)，having trouble at school or work，comparing self to others，losing a loved one and being self-critical．
Is it OK for a person to be unhappy
Everyone has different emotions: some are good while others can be negative．In other words，all people have feelings that are always changing in some way—and they happen for a reason! So is it OK to feel sadness？ 3
Sadness is a natural part of life．
It is okay to be unhappy．Being sad doesn't mean you are not coping with the situation． 4 Learning to recognize sad emotions can make you adapt better，accept more easily，and persevere when things may be too hard at times．
Things will eventually get better．
Keep in mind that your problems will not last forever and will eventually pass too! There is no right way to let go of sadness but what is not a secret is that the first step is the acknowledgment and acceptance of the pain you are feeling．It could be a lot but talking to someone you trust can be helpful． 5 Eat nutritious food，exercise regularly，and get enough sleep．
A．Why are people sad
B．Take good care of yourself．
C．The answer is a definite yes．
D．So what does it feel like to be sad
E．How can people get rid of sadness
F．There are also a lot of other effective solutions．
G．Rather it helps you accept your problems and move on．
