22、   Many of us have already lost the “race against the machines” - we just don’t know it yet. That is the conclusion of new research by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development.

Unlike most studies into the impact of automation, this one does not rely on informed guesswork about what machines will be able to do in 20 years’ time. 【1】 They are literacy, numeracy and problem-solving with computers - and compares our performance against the abilities of machines. The results are sobering, but rather than a reason to despair,

In the survey a group of computer scientists was given the same test and asked which questions computers could answer, using technology that exists but has not necessarily been rolled out yet in the workplace. The conclusion? Almost a third of workers use these cognitive skills daily in their jobs and yet their competency levels have already been matched by computers. About 44 per cent are still better than the machines. The remaining 25 per cent have jobs that do not use these skills every day.

There are two caveats. First, the OECD only asked computer scientists how well they thought machines could do. 【2】. Second, just because technology exists does not mean it will be deployed quickly in the workplace. It depends on how easily it can be made operational, how much it costs relative to the value it creates, and whether companies have the appetite to invest.

【3】.  Stuart Elliott, the author, concludes that in 10 to 20 years, only workers with very strong literacy and numeracy skills will be comfortably more proficient than computers. At the minute, only about one in 10 working-age adults in OECD countries are of this standard.

It is true that the education systems in most countries have been raising their game: younger people tend to have better skills than older people (the UK being one notable, and worrying, exception). But even if you take the most skilled generation in the most skilled country - young people in Finland - two-thirds still do not meet these top levels of literacy and numeracy. 【4】.

The risks to workers from ever smarter computers are clear, but the opportunities will lie in maximizing the value of their human skills. For some people, such as talented chefs, the battle is already won. Others might need to harness the computers to leverage their human talents.

A.And yet, the implication of the study are hard to dismiss.

B.on many of these fronts, computers are behind humans, if they are in the race at all.

C.Technology does not necessary mean doom to all but the highest skilled.

D.Instead it takes three basic and compares our performance against the abilities of machines.

E.Apart from astonishing improvement in education, it looks like only a minority of people can win this race.

F.The result would be more alarming if machine were actually put to the test.

23、How can you use curiosity to enjoy your studies more and improve your results? Below are some hints of how you can awaken your curiosity.

Listen to yourself when you ask questions

【1】 and your mind starts to question, don’t ignore it. If you can’t explore the answer right then, make a note to find out later. Questioning, exploring and investigating are good! It shows that you have an active and interested mind. Reward yourself by finding out the answer. The more you know about what you are studying, the better you will understand it.

Ask quality questions

Ask good questions such as “why” “what if” and “how”. The better the questions you ask, the more interesting answers you will find. 【2】.

Play around with new things and ideas

Learn to play with and think about your ideas, your feelings and new materials and objects. “What can you do with these ideas, feelings and things? Maybe they could be used in an essay, article, poem or science experiment, or could be a gift or favour for someone else.

【3】. Just because adults teach you, it does not mean that they know everything or the best way to do things. Young people are the future. Don’t be scared to put your ideas forward!

Work with new people in class

Don’t always join the same friends for group projects in class. 【4】. Where possible, choose to work with students who enjoy asking questions and finding out new things, or students who have a lively, curious mind.

【5】, and how it might relate to classwork

Have you heard something interesting in the news—a social problem or new technology that interests you? Find out more about it. Then remember if you have studied anything about that subject.

A．Something magical happens

B．Different people work differently

C．Keep an ear open for current events

D．If you can apply curiosity to your study

E．When you are reading or studying something

F．Always be prepared to think about things in new ways

G．All of this will contribute to your classroom learning

24、The demand for digital audio (音频的) books is growing very rapidly. Let’s first look at why this has happened. The busy lifestyle leaves us little time to sit down and read a paper book. Besides, we all have time in the day when we are not really busy mentally. Therefore, we listen and “read” when doing other things.

An audio book, read by a professional narrator who is telling you the story, is an ideal way to “read” books that you wanted to read for long but that lack of time did not permit you to read. Storytelling has a very long tradition and with the new technology, it is gaining popularity again.

“For many people, listening to an audio book is an opportunity to hear an author firsthand,” says Mary Beth Roche, president of the Audio Publishers Association. “It’s like having the very best lecture series, not just in your own town, but in your own car or home — and at your command, they’ll read when YOU are ready to listen.”

Audio books used to be thought of as limited special products for only the blind and sight-impaired (视力受损的) or for kids and lazy people who either can not or do not want to read themselves. This has greatly changed over the last few years. A study found that the average listener of audio books is about 45 years of age and has an average yearly income of over $50,000, and at least a college education and often more advanced degrees. And these people have practical knowledge or understanding of the Internet.

Moreover, audio books are especially good for children who hate to read because of problems in school. That way they are familiar with the adventure of using their own imagination to paint their mental pictures of what they hear, rather than just staring at the TV screen. Also, if they have the book and the audio, reading along can help them overcome reading problems.

【1】Who most probably like digital audio books?

A．People who love high-tech products.

B．People who prefer listening to stories.

C．People who read anytime and anywhere.

D．People who cannot spare time for reading.

【2】How is paragraph 4 mainly developed?

A．By doing experiments.

B．By giving examples.

C．By analyzing causes.

D．By making comparisons.

【3】What do digital audio books help children do?

A．Reduce their screen time.

B．Raise their interest in reading.

C．Develop their imagination.

D．Improve their listening skills.

【4】Which can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Audio Books — A Popular Choice Now

B．Audio Books — An Alternative to Paper Books

C．Audio Books — A New Source of Knowledge

D．Audio Books — A New Idea about Reading
