中考复习———阅读理解20篇（泰州专用） 一、阅读理解 （2024·江苏泰州·二模）When a new technology appears, there are many people who worry about its influence on their jobs. It is believed that with the rise of robotics and AI (人工智能), many people’s jobs are likely to be lost to automation (自动化). Automation in the work place is nothing new. Machines have been doing boring and repetitive tasks for us for years. In fact, the International Federation of Robotics says that in manufacturing (制造业) there are now 74 robots per 10, 000 employees (员工). That has risen from 66 in 2015. General Manager of a tech firm Nuance, Bermard Louvat, believes that “AI is a big threat (威胁) to low-skilled jobs, no question.” He also thinks that AI chatbots will replace (取代) most call centre workers within a few years. And that’s just one industry. A recent report from the McKinsey Global Institute, says that nearly two thirds of all jobs could have at least 30% of their activities automated by 2030. However, McKinsey also believes that this new technology will also “create new jobs that do not exist (存在) today, much as technologies in the past have done.” “It’s an evolution (演化) of work,” says Ian Barkin, a robotic process automation expert. As low-skilled jobs are taken on (承担) by AI, people will need to learn new skills. “This calls on us to focus on up-skilling. Technology can lead to job reductions but it doesn’t have to,” says Barkin. Whether or not robotics and AI will leave us all jobless remains to be seen (还有待观察). Ideas on the subject are mixed. Increased automation could indeed lead to a loss of some jobs, but at the same time it is likely to create many more jobs as new skills are required. Will they balance out I’ll get my AI assistant to reply to you on that one. 1．According to Paragraph 1, what do many people worry about A．Rising cost of living. B．Reduction in job chances.
