2．Plants are boring．They just sit there photosynthesizing （光合作用） while animals have all the fun．Right？Not so much．A new study has found that there is a long history of interactions between ants and plants．The ant and plant co-evolution （協(xié)同進化） started with ants feeding on plants and plants evolving ant-friendly features．
Plants make a number of different structures that are specific for ant use．Some plants have evolved features that persuade ants into defending them from attack from other insects and even mammal?．Тhе?е ?nclude hollow thorns that ant? will live ?n??dе，or extra nеctar （瓊漿） оn lеaves or stems for the ants to eat．Some ants will just cheat and take the nectar and run，but some will stick around and attack anything that tries to hurt the plant．Other plants get ants to help them move their seeds around，by providing them with rich food packets attached to the seeds．The ant will pick up the seed and carry it away，eat the food packet，and leave the seed - often in a nutrient-rich area where it'll grow better，and since it's farther away from its parent，they won't have to compete for resources．
But scientists weren't sure how the evolutionary relationship between ants and plants got started．If evolution is an arms race between species developing ways to make use of their neighbors，then scientists wanted to know whether plants or ants fired the first shot．It was a chicken-and-egg question，whether things started with ants developing behaviors to take advantage of plants，or plants evolving structures to take advantage of ants．
The history of ants and plants evolving together goes back to the time of the dinosaurs，and it's not easy to tell from fossils who fired the first shot．However，it is a question of little significance．Scientists say their study maters because it provides a look at how these widespread and complex interactions evolved．
（1）Some plants attach food packets to their seeds in order to．
A．reward the ants
B．make a fool of ants
C．provide nutrition for the seeds
D．get the seeds moved around
（2）What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us？
A．How plants and ants interact．
B．What ants do to protect plants．
C．How plants and ants survive attacks．
D．Why plants and ants need co-evolution．
（3）Which is true about the evolutionary relationship between ants and plants？
A．Ants depended more upon plants．
B．It caused a race for better evolution．
C．How it got started was uncertain．
D．It was of little value for future studies．
（4）What's the author's purpose of writing the passage？
A．To introduce a science research method．
B．To inform readers of a latest research finding
C．To arouse readers' interest in science research．
D．To criticize people's traditional views about plants．組卷：14引用：3難度：0.7 -
3．I was in the middle of coding a web page when my wife emailed me these questions：Ever wonder what it would be like to have the face，the brains，the personality and the body？What it would be like to have everyone stop when you walk in a room？What it would he like to be able to get anything or anyone you want？I stopped for a moment and thought about it because my wife wouldn't email me this unless something had driven her to do so．I emailed her back with what I thought was a pretty good answer．Here is what I wrote her back．
Yes，I had thought many times about what it would be like to be one of the beautiful people．To be able to take your breath away when I walked into a room，or to be the life of the party and have everyone fawning （奉承） over me as I wore only the finest clothes and sported the perfect body？But then I always came back to the realization that a lifestyle like that is so fragile．As you get older，your body changes；as you get older，the money changes．Your body never looks the same，the clothes become more and more expensive to maintain．And once you have crossed the line，suddenly you are out．The next fresh face comes in and you are quickly forgotten．
All through growing up I was never an attractive person．I was overweight and picked on．But that didn't stop me from being a nice person - a good，clean，funny and helpful person．I was the person who you came to when you needed a friend after a breakup．I was the one you came to when you needed a joke to brighten up your day．And in the long run，I will be the one you remember，not the new face，or the fresh style．
In closing，I would like to say that we，as a people，have developed into looking （or things that are bigger and better instead of what will last．I don't know about you，but I will remember the friend who helped me when I was down，more than the hot girl I just saw walking down the street．
I wish I could teach the world some more jokes．

4．When it comes to work，workers，and jobs，much of the concern of the modern age boils down to the fear that we're witnessing the final stage of the game，and that there will be nowhere for humans to withdraw as machines take over the last few tasks.The most recent example comes from the use of artificial intelligence （AI）.Is there no area of human experience that can't be replaced by AI？And if not，what is left for humans to do except the tasks involved in taking care of the machines？
At the heart of this concern is our desire for good jobs - jobs that make the most of workers' natural abilities and where the work provides the worker with motivation and work-life balance.More importantly，good jobs support workers in learning by doing - and，in so doing，deliver benefits on three levels：to the worker，who gains in personal development and job satisfaction；to the organization，which reforms as staff find new problems to solve and opportunities to pursue；and to the community as a whole，which harvests the economic benefits of hosting positive organizations and workers.This is what makes good jobs productive for the organization，as well as engaging and fulfilling for the worker.
Does the ongoing advance of AI threaten to get rid of all the learning，creativity，and meaning that make a job a good job？Certainly，some have blamed technology for just such an outcome.Headlines today often express concern over technological innovation resulting in bad jobs for humans，or even the complete disappearance of certain professions.Some fear that further technology advancement in the workplace will result in jobs where employees are being asked to work in split times or for longer periods over more days.
The problem here isn't the technology；rather，it's the way the technology is used - and，more than that，the way people think about using it.
（1）What is the passage mainly about？
A．The human fears in the age of AI.
B．Human experiences were replaced by AI.
C．How to take care of the AI machines.
D．The relations among work，workers，and jobs.
（2）What jobs are supposed to be good according to the passage？
A．The ones that provide basic benefits.
B．The ones that require no economic return.
C．Those that don't bring new problems to workers.
D．Those that offer chances to progress professionally.
（3）How do news media respond to the development of AI？
A．Supportive.
B．Optimistic.
C．Negative.
D．Ambiguous.
（4）What will the author probably talk about next？
A．The proper attitude towards AI.
B．The future jobs humans will do.
C．The possible application of AI in the future.
D．The approaches to handling the issues of AI.組卷：5引用：2難度：0.5
