【May·话题】Amid all the job losses 【May·话题】Amid all the job losses, there's one category of worker that the economic disruption has been good for: nonhumans. From self-service checkout lines at the supermarket to industrial robots armed with saws and taught to carve up animal bodies in slaughter-houses, these ever-more-intelligent machines are now not just assisting workers but actually kicking them out of their jobs. Automation isn't just affecting factory workers, either. Some law firms now use artificial intelligence software to scan and read mountains of legal documents, work that previously was performed by highly-paid human lawyers. "Robots continue to have an impact on blue-collar jobs, and white-collar jobs are under attack by microprocessors," says economics professor Edward Leamer. The recession permanently wiped out 2.5 million jobs. U.S. gross domestic product has climbed back to pre-recession levels, meaning we’re producing as much as before, only with 6% fewer workers. To be sure, robotics are not the only job killers out there, with outsourcing (外包) stealing far more jobs than automation. Jeff Burnstein, president of the Robotics Industry Association, argues that robots actually save U.S. jobs. His logic: companies that embrace automation might use fewer workers, but that's still better than firing everyone and moving the work overseas. It's not that robots are cheaper than humans, though often they are. It's that they're better. "In some cases the quality requirements are so exacting that even if you wanted to have a human do the job, you couldn’t," Burnstein says. Same goes for surgeons, who're using robotic systems to perform an ever-growing list of operations—not because the machines save money but because, thanks to the greater precision of robots, the patients recover in less time and have fewer complications, says Dr. Myriam Curet. Surgeons may survive the robot invasion, but others at the hospital might not be so lucky, as iRobot, maker of the Roomba, a robot vacuum cleaner, has been showing off Ava, which could be used as a messenger in a hospital. And once you’re home, recovering, Ava could let you talk to your doctor, so there’s no need to send someone to your house. That "mobile telepresence" could be useful at the office. If you're away on a trip, you can still attend a meeting. Just connect via video conferencing software, so your face appears on Ava's screen. Is any job safe? I was hoping to say "journalist", but researchers are already developing software that can gather facts and write a news story. Which means that a few years from now, a robot could be writing this column. And who will read it? Well, there might be a lot of us hanging around with lots of free time on our hands. 52. What do we learn from the first few paragraphs? A) The over-use of robots has done damage to American economy. B) It is hard for robots to replace humans in highly professional work. C) Artificial intelligence is key to future technological innovations. D) The robotic industry has benefited from the economic recession. 53. What caused the greatest loss of jobs in America? A) Using microprocessors extensively. B) Moving production to other countries. C) The bankruptcy of many companies. D) The invasion of migrant workers. 54. What does Jeff Burnstein say about robots? A) They help companies to revive. B) They are cheaper than humans. C) They prevent job losses in a way. D) They compete with human workers. 55. Why are robotic systems replacing surgeons in more and more operations according to Dr. Myriam Curet? A) They save lots of money for the patients. B) They beat humans in precision. C) They take less time to perform a surgery. D) They make operations less painful. 56. What does the author imply about robotics? A) It will greatly enrich literary creation. B) It will start a new technological revolution. C) It will revolutionize scientific research. D) It will be applied in any field imaginable. 大佬们求看一下54题,全网几乎都选D,难倒这道题不是选C吗? 根据字典解释 compete 这个词不是主动和一个人去竞争吗?这个They指的是机器人,难倒机器人会主动和人类去竞争吗 ? 而且我觉得C非常的对啊,和原文第五段robots actually save US jobs一致啊。。 为什么全网的答案全是D呢?而且没有任何对这个题的解析。求大佬帮看看,谢谢您了!
【生日帖】祝四代风影生日快乐! 四代目风影 四十岁,三月二十九日出生。砂忍村的第四代风影,我爱罗的父亲,在第一部动画81话讲述被发现死在一个沙漠,在风火大战中阵亡(被大蛇丸杀死)。四代风影在动画「君麻吕篇」中客串,重演被大蛇丸一剑刺死的一幕。看来像是因为有君麻吕的帮忙而被大蛇丸杀死,不过战斗细节没有道出。 四代风影在《火影忍者》中就像月光疾风一样,稍纵即逝,甚至连它的名字都没有。四代风影是我爱罗的父亲,我爱罗长的和他很像,是把一尾封印在我爱罗体内这件事的最终决策者。在风之国的大名不断削减忍者数量和忍者村经费的大环境下,四代风影意识到了木叶的强大和危机的存在。所以,他与大蛇丸和音忍村联合,希望借中忍考试之机一举拿下木叶。可事与愿违,大蛇丸则另有图谋,在兜和君麻吕的帮助下,大蛇丸杀了四代风影。直到中忍考试结束,马基等人才发现四代风影的尸体。515话被兜用秽土转生复活。525话正式复活并发现了我爱罗。 忍术实力 四代风影是能使用磁遁忍术的血继限界忍者,并控制沙金进行战斗。曾利用沙金多次降服控制暴走的守鹤。 此外,根据三代风影能使用砂铁的原因,貌似沙忍村的风影的忍术都是和沙有关系,并且应该有着自己独特的血继限界。 今天是四代风影的生日!生日快乐!
