3．For decades，world wars and fears of a brave new world have made British workers very anxious.Yet it appears that the rise of robots has been overestimated，according to new data.The Office of National Statistics（ONS） published a series of data which showed that far fewer jobs are at risk of replacement by robots than previously thought.
In 2017，out of the 19.9 million jobs analyzed in England，7.4 percent of people were employed in jobs at high risk of replacement.This marked a fall of 0.7 percent less than in 2011.However，the number of employees that were in jobs at low risk of replacement in 2017 was 27.7 percent of all employees，a rise of 2.4 percent since 2011.
The ONS found that the three jobs with the highest possibility of replacement are waiters and waitresses，shelf fillers and the most basic sales jobs.As expected，regular things in a fixed order and repeated tasks can be carried out more quickly and efficiently by an algorithm（計(jì)算程序）written by a human，or a machine designed for specific functions.Therefore，the risk of replacement in such jobs is to be higher.
However，the three jobs at the lowest risk of replacement are doctors，higher education professionals and senior education professionals.Furthermore，while the general number of jobs has increased，most of these are jobs that are at low or medium（中等的）risk，suggesting that the labour market may be changing to jobs that require more complex skills.
Alessandro，an expert in AI，said he was not surprised by the fall in jobs which were at risk. "When something like technology becomes fashionable，there's a rise in major expectations.Our expectation reaches the highest point，and then it comes back down to a more realistic level，" he added.
（1）What do data in paragraph 2 mainly want to show？
A．Robots are helpful to job market.
B．The future of robots looks bright.
C．Robots have better performance than people.
D．The threat of job replacement by robots isn't as serious as expected.
（2）What's the finding of the ONS in paragraph 3？
A．Regular and repeated tasks are likely to be replaced.
B．The work of service will no longer exist.
C．More people prefer working on computers.
D．Jobs with lower pay will totally be replaced by machines.
（3）What is Alessandro's attitude towards the finding shown in the text？
A．Doubtful.
B．Uncertain.
C．Supportive.
D．Critical.
（4）What is the suitable title for the text？
A．Most Jobs Are Being Replaced by Robot
B．Jobs Replaced by Robots Are Fewer Than Thought
C．People's Anxiety on Education
D．The Robot Application on Education Industry組卷：5引用：5難度：0.5

During this past year，I've had three instances of car trouble.Each time these things happened，I was sick of the way most people hadn't bothered to help.One of those times，I was on the side of the road for close to three hours with my big Jeep.I put signs in the windows，big signs that said NEED A JACK （千斤頂），and offered money.Nothing.Right as I was about to give up，a Mexican family in a small truck pulled over，and the father bounded out.
He sized up the situation and called for his daughter，who spoke English.He conveyed through her that he had a jack but that it was too small for the Jeep，so we would need something to support it.Then he got a saw （鋸子） from the truck and cut a section out of a big log on the side of the road.We rolled it over and put his jack on top，and we were in business.
I started taking the wheel off，and then，if you can believe it，I broke his tire iron.No worries：He handed it to his wife，and she was gone in a flash down the road to buy a new tire iron.She was back in 15 minutes.We finished the job，and I was a very happy man.
The two of us were dirty and sweaty.His wife prepared a pot of water for us to wash our hands.I tried to put a ＄20 bill in the man's hand，but he wouldn't take it，so instead I went up to the truck and gave it to his wife as quietly as I could.I asked the little girl where they lived.Mexico，she said.They were in Oregon so Mommy and Daddy could work on a fruit farm for the next few weeks.Then they would go home.
注意：
1.續(xù)寫(xiě)詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
