9、Text 1 When I started my careef I was astonished by how superhuman some Fortune 500 executives were.It seemed they were magicians.Every decision they made based on deep market knowledge and up-to-date information.How did they do it?Thcy have marketing teams that can pull research together in hours.They have chiefs of staff who give them carefully crafied agendas for every day.These teams give Fortune 500 executives what appears to bc super-human knowledge.Foriunately for those of us who don't have Fortune 500 budgets at our disposal,it's getting easier and casier to build your own secret support staff.Within five years,most executives at any size company-and,indeed,most knowledge workers-will have tools that do much of the work of a CEO's private group.That is,\"Cyborg systems,\"or what I called\"agents\".It will make this possible,using a blend of learning algorithms and distributed labor to perform an ever-widening range of tasks at low cost.With help from these agents,we'II be able to look as smari as those CEOs do today.I got one taste of this when I started using Wonder.Wonder is like having a personal researcher,deploying a small army of experts,including trained librarians,to do small,defined research projects for me.I ask Wonder for help.For30to60,Wonder saves me hours every week.More and more products and services will fuse machine intelligence with crowd work to help

The text mainly discusses_____ A. the importance ofteam work B. the trustworthy support team
C. the application of machine intelligence D. working like CEOs 【答案】C
【解析】主旨大意题。文章第一、二段讨论的是世界500强企业CEO们办事能力高的原因——他们有强大的支持团队。第三、四、五段讨论的是机器智能的运用及前景。第六段论述了CEO们支持团队不会因为机器智能的出现而消失。第七段指出机器智能尚存在的缺陷。因此全文实际上主要谈论的是机器智能的应用，故C项为正确选项。【干扰排除】A项“团队工作的重要性”，文章第一、二段提到CEO们的团队支持，是为了引出后面所说的机器智能，能够提供类似的团队支持，不能概括全文内容;B项“值得信赖的支持团队”，是文章的一个细节，不能概括全文内容;D项“像CEO们一样工作”，CEO们的工作效率来自他们的团队i但是本文并不
是教大家怎样向CEO们一样工作，而是介绍机器智能可以像CEO们的团队一样给人们提供支持，因此可排除D项。

【解析】事实细节题。根据定位词定位到第三段第二句和第四段第一句。原文中没有直接写出小企业高管应该怎样做。但第三段中提到any size company(无论公司大小)，当然也包括小企业。它们即使没有大量预算，可以通过第四段提到的机器智能(machine intelligence).包括Cyborg systems(赛博系统)或agents(代理机制)实现像500强企业的CEO们那样工作。故D项为正确选项。【干扰排除】A项“聘请更有知识的员工”，其中knowledge workers是干扰词，原文第三段出现了该词，但有知识的员工也可以使用人工智能系统;B项“依靠支持员工”，实际上，如第三段第一句话所述，一般的高管没有那么多预算，所以不能够请到500强CEO们那样的支持团队;C项“获得更低成本的劳动力”，原文中没有提到，故排除。 11、( )energy must be released in one form or another,for example,an earthquake. A. Gathered
B. Collected C. Accumulated D. Assembled 【答案】C

【解析】事实细节题。根据题干关键词，对应文章第五段。第五段提到“在绝大多数学区，教师的薪水取决于他们的教育背景和多年的课堂经验。因为他们奖励的是资历，所以教师工会极力捍卫这些工资表”。由此可知，教师的教育背景和教龄与工龄工资有关，故C项为正确选项。【干扰排除】A项、B项和D项均为文章第六段内容，第六段未提及教育背景及教龄，因而这三个选项均与教师的教育背景和教龄无关，故排除。

22、Text 1 Denmark is once again distinguishing itself in the race against food waste-this time,with a supermarket hawking items once destined for the trash bin.Those items might include treats for a holiday that happened last week,a ripped box of comflakes,plain white rice mislabeled as basmati,or anything nearing its expiration date.In other words,perfectly edible items that are nonetheless considered unfit for salc by the retailers and manufacturers who donate them.WeFood is not the first grocer in Europe to sell surplus food.But unlike so-called\"social supermarkets\"-stores which serve almosL exclusively low-income people-WeFood's offerings are very intentionally aimed at the general public.High-income families will also choose WeFood for its environmental-friendly conception.The store's goods are priced 30 t0 50 percent lower than those in regular supermarkets,according to WeFood.The store has already been a huge success,attracting large numbers of customers.People have lined up before the store's opening every moming since its launch on Monday.But is this food safe to eat?Safety is always the first concern coming up to your mind.Well,the\"sell by\"date you see
on many products actually refers to its freshness-not whether or not it's going to do you any harm.In many cases,food that's beyond this date won't be as fresh as it once was but is still perfectly edible.The food might have not yet gone bad when the\"sell by\"date expires.Of course you should still be careful to avoid eating food that's gone off,but you might find you don't have to throw away as much as you think you do.Denmark throws away about 700,000 tons of food every year,according to several estimates.In fact,food waste is a major problem for the whole world.Some 795 million people are undemourished globally,according to the World Food Program.Yet about a third of all food produced in the world-some l.3 billion tons-is wasted each year,according to the United Nations.The cost of global food wastage is about$1 trillion a year.All of the store's proceeds will go to DanChurchAid's work in developing nations like South Sudan and Bangladesh. Which of the following would be the most appropriate title of the text? A. Save the Food,Save the World
B. A New Way to Save Food and Money in Denmark
C. A Denmark Market Selling Expired Food to Combat Waste Problems D. People Line up for Expired Food in Denmark 【答案】C
【解析】主旨大意题。全文都在围绕着一个叫作“我们食铺”的超市来展开讨论。而最后指出该超市的收入都捐献出去了，宗旨还是解决食品浪费问题。所以最准确的答案应该是C项。【干扰排除】文中提到人们购买过期食品，也提到浪费食物的问题，但是A项拯救世界太过笼统，所以A项不正确;人们购买“我们食铺”的食
物，不是为了节约金钱，所以B项不准确;D项“在丹麦人们排队购买过期食品”是一种社会现象，不能概括对抗食物浪费的主题，D项可排除。
