In the fall of 1903, O. Henry was living in a room at the small Hotel Marty in New York City. He had published a

few stories in local magazines, but was still relatively unknown when editors at the New York World newspaper sent a

young reporter (21)__________ (track) down this mysterious writer. By the next day, O. Henry had an agreement with

the newspaper to write one story a week for the magazine section of their Sunday edition. The World had

Does technology replace more jobs than it creates? What is the 31 balance between these two things? Until

now, that has not been measured. But a new research project led by MIT economist David Autor has developed an

answer, at least for U.S. history since 1940. The study uses new methods to examine how many jobs have been lost to

machine 32 , and how many have been generated through “augmentation (增强),” in which technology creates new

tasks. Overall, the study finds, and particularly since 1980, technology has replaced more U.S. jobs than it has

generated.

“There does appear to be a faster rate of automation, and a slower rate of augmentation, in the last four decades.

from 1980 to the present, than in the four decades 33 .” says Autor. However, that finding is only one of the study’s

34 . The researchers have also developed an entirely new method for studying the issue, based on an analysis of

thousands of U.S. census job categories in relation to a(n) 35 look at the text of U. S. patents over the last century.

That has allowed them, for the first time, to quantify the effects of technology over both job loss and job creation.

The study finds that overall, about 60 percent of jobs in the U.S. represent new types of work, which have been

created since 1940. To determine this, Autor and his colleagues 36 through about 35,000 job categories, tracking

how they emerge over time. They also used natural language processing tools to analyze the text of every U.S. patent

filed since 1920. The research examined how words were “embedded” in the census and patent documents to 37

related passages of text. That allowed them to determine links between new technologies and their effects on

employment.

From about 1940 through 1980, for instance, jobs like elevator operator and typesetter tended to get automated.

But at the same time, more workers filled roles such as shipping and receiving clerks, buyers and department 38 ,

and civil and space engineers. From 1980 through 2018, the ranks of cabinetmakers and machinists, among others,

have been 39 by automation, while industrial engineers, and operations and systems researchers and analysts, have

enjoyed growth.

Ultimately, the research suggests that the negative effects of automation on employment were more than twice as

great in the 1980-2018 period as in the 1940-1980 period. There was a more 40 , and positive, change in the effect

of augmentation on employment in 1980-2018, as compared to 1940-1980.

Ⅲ. Reading Comprehension (45 分)

Section A

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in

each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

More people are travelling than ever before, and lower barriers to entry and falling costs means they are doing so

for 41 periods.

The rise of “city breaks” 48-hour bursts of foreign cultures, easier on the pocket and annual leave balance has

increased tourist numbers, but not their 42 spread. The same attractions have been used to market cities such as

Paris, Barcelona and Venice for decades, and visitors use the same infrastructure ( 基础设施) as residents to reach

them. “Too many people do the same thing at the exact same time,” says Font, an expert in tourism. “For 43 , the

city no longer belongs to them.”

In response to this situation, cities have come up with various solutions. For instance, Amsterdam has started

advising visitors to seek 44 outside of the city center on its official website. “That takes courage, really, to do that.

But only so many people will look at the website, and it means they can say to their residents they’re doing all they

can to 45 congestion.”

But it also proposes a better way, which is called “de-tourism”: sustainable travel tips and 46 schedules for

exploring a real Venice, off the paths beaten by the 28 million visitors who flock there each year.

A greater variety of 47 for prospective visitors — ideas for what to do in off-peak seasons, for example, or

outside of the city center — can have the effect of removing them from already crowded landmarks, or 48 short

breaks away in the first place. Longer stays 49 the pressure, says Font. ‘If you go to Paris for two days, you’re

going to the Eiffel Tower. If you go for two weeks, you’re not going to go to the Eiffel Tower 14 times.” Similarly,

repeat visitors have a better sense of the 50 , “We should be asking how we can get tourists to 51 , not how to get

them to come for the first time. If they’re coming for the fifth time, it is much easier to integrate their behaviors with

ours.”

Font says cities could stand to be more 52 about the tourists they try to attract when the current metric for

marketing success is how many there are, and how far they’ve come. “You’re thinking. ‘yeah but at what cost…’” He

points to unpublished data from the Barcelona Tourist Board that prioritizes Japanese tourist for spending an average

of 640 more per day than French tourists — a(n) 53 that fails to take into account their bigger carbon footprint.

54 tourists are also more likely to be repeat visitors that come at off-peak times, buy local products, and spread out

to less crowded parts of the city — all productive steps towards more 55 tourism, and more peaceful relations with

residents.
