Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读
Diversity and inclusion need to go hand in hand，and women around the world are increasingly assuming important positions and taking core decisions in the tech sector.These women are driving technological change and innovation which impact the industry at large.
Gender diversity，like diversity in general，is important for varied perspectives and thought processes in a company.These perspectives are what help shape advancements and new ideas in technology and overall operations for the success of the business.This is especially true for technologies such as AI.
According to a 2017 report on Higher Education by the Ministry of Human Resource Development，Government of India，women were at or near parity(对等) among undergraduate degrees in science IT and computer.Most women equal men when it comes to skills，but face discrimination in other areas，thus creating a gap and reducing the will to continue at the company.
According to reports，biased treatment within the workplace is the most frequently cited reason for leaving，followed by poor management.There is still scope for a shift in attitudes at workplaces，which is a major obstacle when it comes to preserving women employees.In order to retain this talent and hire more talent like this，governments，NGOs and leaders from tech organizations need to come together to help close the gender gap further by providing more flexible work options and decision-making opportunities for women.
More and more women across the world are interested in looking for tech careers or maintaining their existing ones.There is a need to encourage them to take up roles in AI and STEM (Science，Technology，Engineering，and Maths) with opportunities that are both fair and equal.Given the computer-driven nature of AI，there is a need for women from diverse backgrounds to balance out the conventionally male-dominated profession to give an accurate representation.

In November 2020，Semantic Scholar introduced their new TLDR (Too Long Didn’t Read) feature.This AI-powered tool can shorten① even the most complex computer science papers into a single-sentence summary，using natural language processing.
语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。本文探讨了人工智能工具对科研效率的提升与对劳动力市场可能产生的影响，呼吁政策制定者协助工人适应技术变革。
If you’re a researcher，you might be considering how much time you could save by not having to map out evidence for a new topic.This new tool will finally allow you to shift your attention to the parts of your job that are more complex，analytical and social.At the same time，you are probably a little concerned that it could replace you or one of your colleagues.The last time it took a team of four researchers to review the evidence.Will it only require three or fewer researchers in the future
So will the impact of AI on the labour market be the same as “a new disease...namely②，technological unemployment” warned by John Maynard Keynes
It seems too early to give this question an answer now.But we’ve learned from history the fact that previous technological waves did not cause massive job loss.Instead，they have led to transformations within the labour market and brought challenges that policymakers continue to deal with.Workers may need to re-skill or up-skill.This will help them to adapt to③ new ways of organizing tasks and the appearance of new ones.New skills will enable them to face potential job loss and manage transitions to new jobs.Policies and institutions can play a key role in ensuring that all workers can successfully handle a changing labour market.
Even if AI increases the scale of the challenge，widens inequalities and brings new challenges for the work environment，policymakers should keep these lessons in mind to help workers ride the waves of technological change.
5.What can “TLDR” do according to the first two paragraphs
A.Shift your attention.
B.Find evidence of a case.
C.Improve work efficiency.
D.Help you write your paper.

解析
6.Which statement will John Maynard Keynes probably agree with
A.Technological change will cause job loss.
B.A new disease will lead to unemployment.
C.Technological advancement can lead to diseases.
D.The appearance of AI is a warning for humanity.
√
推理判断题。根据第三段“So will the impact of AI on the labour market be the same as ‘a new disease...namely，technological unemployment’ warned by John Maynard Keynes？”可知，John Maynard Keynes警告大家人工智能可能会带来技术性失业，因此他可能同意“技术变革会导致失业”的观点。故选A项。
解析
7.How can workers adapt to technological changes in the labor market
A.By finding more new jobs.
B.By managing the labour market.
C.By actively working with policy makers.
D.By improving existing skills or learning new ones.
√
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Workers may need to re-skill or up-skill...transitions to new jobs.”可知，重新学习技能或提升技能将帮助工人适应组织任务的新方式和新任务的出现，使他们能够面对潜在的失业，向新工作过渡。故选D项。
解析

B.New Development in AI Technology
C.The Impact of AI on the Labour Market

The fact that gender diversity is something that companies constantly desire highlights the problem in itself.Across industries，the workforce gender balance is still highly skewed(偏向……的)，even in fields which do not traditionally involve laborious work.The tech industry is a case in point，with the workforce imbalance definitely being one of the most prominent on the list.
Diversity and inclusion need to go hand in hand，and women around the world are increasingly assuming important positions and taking core decisions in the tech sector.These women are driving technological change and innovation which impact the industry at large.
Gender diversity，like diversity in general，is important for varied perspectives and thought processes in a company.These perspectives are what help shape advancements and new ideas in technology and overall operations for the success of the business.This is especially true for technologies such as AI.
According to a 2017 report on Higher Education by the Ministry of Human Resource Development，Government of India，women were at or near parity(对等) among undergraduate degrees in science IT and computer.Most women equal men when it comes to skills，but face discrimination in other areas，thus creating a gap and reducing the will to continue at the company.
According to reports，biased treatment within the workplace is the most frequently cited reason for leaving，followed by poor management.There is still scope for a shift in attitudes at workplaces，which is a major obstacle when it comes to preserving women employees.In order to retain this talent and hire more talent like this，governments，NGOs and leaders from tech organizations need to come together to help close the gender gap further by providing more flexible work options and decision-making opportunities for women.
More and more women across the world are interested in looking for tech careers or maintaining their existing ones.There is a need to encourage them to take up roles in AI and STEM (Science，Technology，Engineering，and Maths) with opportunities that are both fair and equal.Given the computer-driven nature of AI，there is a need for women from diverse backgrounds to balance out the conventionally male-dominated profession to give an accurate representation.

In November 2020，Semantic Scholar introduced their new TLDR (Too Long Didn’t Read) feature.This AI-powered tool can shorten① even the most complex computer science papers into a single-sentence summary，using natural language processing.
If you’re a researcher，you might be considering how much time you could save by not having to map out evidence for a new topic.This new tool will finally allow you to shift your attention to the parts of your job that are more complex，analytical and social.At the same time，you are probably a little concerned that it could replace you or one of your colleagues.The last time it took a team of four researchers to review the evidence.Will it only require three or fewer researchers in the future
So will the impact of AI on the labour market be the same as “a new disease...namely②，technological unemployment” warned by John Maynard Keynes
It seems too early to give this question an answer now.But we’ve learned from history the fact that previous technological waves did not cause massive job loss.Instead，they have led to transformations within the labour market and brought challenges that policymakers continue to deal with.Workers may need to re-skill or up-skill.This will help them to adapt to③ new ways of organizing tasks and the appearance of new ones.New skills will enable them to face potential job loss and manage transitions to new jobs.Policies and institutions can play a key role in ensuring that all workers can successfully handle a changing labour market.
Even if AI increases the scale of the challenge，widens inequalities and brings new challenges for the work environment，policymakers should keep these lessons in mind to help workers ride the waves of technological change.
