2024年考研英语二真题及答案解析：阅读一

Section Ⅱ Reading Comprehension

Part A

Text 1

21. Coyle argues in her new book that economy growth should ______.

A. give rise to innovations

B. diversify career choices

C. benefit people equally

D. be promoted forcefully

【21】C. benefit people equally 解析：该题为细节题，题干问Coyle在自己的新书对于经济增长的看法。由关键词Coyle、new book和economy growth可定位到第一段第二句“Whatever we mean by the economy growing, by things getting better, the gains will have to be more evenly shared than in the recent past,” she writes.该句提到，经济增长是让事物朝着好的方向发展，而且这种发展更应该被平等地分享。evenly shared对应benefit equally，故C项正确。

22. According to Paragraph 2, digital technologies should be used to ______.

A. bring about instant prosperity

B. reduce people’s workload

C. raise overall work efficiency

D. enhance cross-sector cooperation

【22】C. raise overall work efficiency 解析：该题为细节题，题干问第二段提到数字技术应该被用来做什么。由关键词digital economy可定位到第二段第一句“Improving living standards and increasing prosperity for more people will require greater use of digital technologies to boost productivity in various sectors, including health care and construction, says Coyle.”该句提到，更多的人需要应用数字技术来提升不同部门的生产效率。boost productivity对应raise work efficiency，故C项正确。

23. What does Coyle fear about transformative technologies?

A. They may affect work-life balance.

B. They may be impractical to deploy.

C. They may incur huge expenditure.

D. They may be unwelcome to the public.

【23】D. They may be unwelcome to the public. 解析：该题为细节题，题干问Coyle在转变技术上担心什么。由关键词Coyle、fear和transformative technologies可定位到第三段第二句，但此句中these提示做题线索在前文，即第三段第一句“In a recent interview with MIT Technology Review, Coyle said she fears that tech’s inequality problem could be a roadblock to deploying AI.”该句提到Coyle担心技术不平等问题会成为运用AI的障碍，再结合上文内容“But people can’t be expected to embrace the changes if they’re not seeing the benefits”可知，由于人们看不到利益好处，所以他们可能不会接受变化。综上，技术不平等让人们无法受益，也势必会造成人们对这种技术的不欢迎，故D项正确。

24. Several American cities are mentioned to show ______.

A. the uneven distribution of AI technologies in the US

B. the disappointing prospect of tech jobs in the US

C. the fast progress of US regional economies.

D. the increasing significance of US AI assets

【24】A. the uneven distribution of AI technologies in the US 解析：该题为例证题，题干问一些美国城市被提到证明什么。由关键词several American cities可定位到第六段，但此处为论据本身，其论点位于前一句，即第五段最后一句“New, well-paying tech jobs were clustered in a few cities.”该句提到，一些新的高薪职位在少数城市中汇集，即工作分布不均衡。clustered in a few cities对应uneven distribution，故A项正确。

25. With regard to Coyle’s concern the author suggests ______.

A. raising funds to start new AI projects

B. encouraging collaboration in AI research

C. guarding against the side effects of AI

D. redefining the role of AI technologies

【25】D. redefining the role of AI technologies 解析：该题为细节题，题干问关于Coyle的担心，作者提到了什么。由关键词Coyle’s concern可定位到最后一段“A more immediate response is to broaden our digital imaginations to conceive of AI technologies that don’t simply replace jobs but expand opportunities in the sectors that different parts of the country care most about, like health care, education, and manufacturing.”该句提到一个更为即时的回应便是拓宽我们关于如何设想数字技术的想法，即人工智能不是单纯地替换工作，而是扩大不同工作领域的机会。broaden... imagination to conceive of AI对应redefine the role，故D项正确。
