阅读理解
Nowadays, a widespread consensus holds that artificial intelligence is bound to liberate employees from tedious and repetitive tasks, ranging from paperwork to data processing, thus enabling them to concentrate on high‑value and creative work. This viewpoint has long dominated public opinions, regarding the automation of routine work as an entirely positive trend that boosts efficiency significantly.
Nevertheless, this optimistic idea tends to overlook the hidden value of dull work and the potential risks brought by comprehensive automation. As a matter of fact, those seemingly meaningless tasks serve as the foundation of career development. For newcomers and green hands, routine work is the most direct approach to grasping professional skills, adapting to working circumstances and accumulating practical experience. Without such basic labor, individuals are likely to lack essential competence and fail to adapt to their positions smoothly.
Apart from cultivating capabilities, repetitive work also acts as a spark for innovation and inspiration. It is through constant repetition that people can detect hidden patterns and unexpected problems, which may further lead to precious discoveries. Despite the high efficiency of AI, it can never replace the accidental insights gained from personal involvement.
Additionally, mundane work plays a vital role in strengthening interpersonal bonds. Sharing tiring tasks and communicating troubles contribute to mutual understanding and trust among colleagues, which is the invisible glue of team spirit. Once AI replaces all routine work, the workplace may become colder and more isolated, weakening team cohesion.
To sum up, it is not advisable to reject AI automation completely, but we are supposed to maintain a rational attitude. We should make full use of AI to get rid of the most soul‑destroying work, while reserving necessary routine tasks. After all, work is not merely about productivity, but also about growth, connection and inner fulfillment. Only by striking a balance can we create a more meaningful working environment.
1. 主旨大意题
What is the passage mainly about?
A. The rapid development of artificial intelligence in modern workplaces
B. The hidden value of routine work and a balanced attitude towards AI automation
C. Ways to improve productivity and creativity with the help of AI technology
D. Arguments about whether AI should replace human beings in tedious work
【选项解析】
本题考查篇章主旨概括能力，采用高考议论文“提出普遍观点—转折反驳—分层论证—总结立场”的经典结构。文章开篇指出“a widespread consensus holds that artificial intelligence is bound to liberate employees from tedious and repetitive tasks”，随后以“Nevertheless”转折，强调“this optimistic idea tends to overlook the hidden value of dull work”，结尾明确提出“it is not advisable to reject AI automation completely, but we are supposed to maintain a rational attitude”。
正确答案B完整覆盖“日常工作的隐性价值”与“对AI自动化的理性平衡态度”两大核心。
选项A “The rapid development of artificial intelligence in modern workplaces”以偏概全，文章并非阐述AI技术发展，仅将AI作为讨论背景。
选项C “Ways to improve productivity and creativity with the help of AI technology”偏离核心，文章并非论述利用AI提升效率的方法，而是反思过度自动化的问题。
选项D “Arguments about whether AI should replace human beings in tedious work”浅层片面，文章并非客观呈现争论，而是明确表达作者价值立场。
2. 词义猜测题
What does the underlined word “cohesion” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Communication skill
B. Team unity
C. Working efficiency
D. Personal ambition
【选项解析】
本题考查语境词义推断能力，依托上下文同义复现与逻辑照应解题。第四段核心逻辑为：“Sharing tiring tasks and communicating troubles contribute to mutual understanding and trust among colleagues, which is the invisible glue of team spirit”以及“Once AI replaces all routine work, the workplace may become colder and more isolated, weakening team cohesion”。cohesion与team spirit、mutual trust、interpersonal bonds同属团队关系语义场，意为“团队凝聚力”。
正确答案B Team unity与原文高度契合。
选项A Communication skill为过程手段，并非团队凝聚的结果，属于逻辑偷换。
选项C Working efficiency与本段团队社交主题无关，属于跨段信息干扰。
选项D Personal ambition在原文无任何信息支撑，属于无中生有。
3. 推理判断题
What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A. AI can generate unexpected creative insights independently
B. Repetitive work is the only way to achieve great scientific discoveries
C. Personal participation in routine work contributes to valuable inspiration
D. Most innovations result from high‑value strategic thinking rather than repetition
【选项解析】
本题考查段落逻辑推理能力，严格遵循“原文有据、合理推断、绝对化表述排除”的高考解题规则。第三段核心句为：“It is through constant repetition that people can detect hidden patterns and unexpected problems, which may further lead to precious discoveries. Despite the high efficiency of AI, it can never replace the accidental insights gained from personal involvement”。
正确答案C 是该句的同义转述与合理推断。
选项A AI can generate unexpected creative insights independently与原文事实相反，原文明确AI无法替代人类的意外灵感。
选项B Repetitive work is the only way to achieve great scientific discoveries含有绝对化词汇only，违背原文表述逻辑，且原文未提及scientific discoveries。
选项D Most innovations result from high‑value strategic thinking rather than repetition与本段强调重复工作催生创新的核心观点相悖。
4. 细节理解题
Why are routine tasks important for new employees?
A. They help them gain basic skills and practical experience
B. They can avoid making mistakes in high‑level work
C. They enable them to work more creatively and strategically
D. They provide chances to get promoted quickly
【选项解析】
本题考查事实细节定位与同义替换能力，依据题干关键词new employees可直接定位至第二段：“For newcomers and green hands, routine work is the most direct approach to grasping professional skills, adapting to working circumstances and accumulating practical experience”。
正确答案A 为原文信息的完整同义转换。
选项B They can avoid making mistakes in high‑level work在原文无对应表述，属于主观臆断。
选项C They enable them to work more creatively and strategically是AI解放人力后的目标，并非基础工作对新人的直接作用，属于答非所问。
选项D They provide chances to get promoted quickly在原文无依据，属于过度解读。
5. 作者情感态度题
What is the author’s attitude towards AI automating all routine work?
A. Strongly supportive
B. Moderately optimistic
C. Slightly doubtful
D. Clearly disapproving
【选项解析】
本题考查作者态度判断能力，依据全文转折逻辑、负面评价及结论句解题。作者明确指出“this optimistic idea tends to overlook the hidden value of dull work and the potential risks brought by comprehensive automation”，并在结尾提出“it is not advisable to reject AI automation completely, but we are supposed to maintain a rational attitude...while reserving necessary routine tasks”，表明作者对AI完全替代基础工作持明确反对态度。
正确答案D Clearly disapproving精准匹配作者立场。
选项A Strongly supportive与作者态度完全相反，属于典型反向干扰。
选项B Moderately optimistic与作者立场相悖，作者并非乐观而是担忧与反对。
选项C Slightly doubtful态度程度过轻，作者并非怀疑而是明确否定，并非轻微质疑。
结语
本原创阅读试题立足高考命题导向与学科核心素养培育双重维度，以外刊前沿语篇为载体，以科学命题设计为抓手，以深度解析为支撑，既实现对英语阅读核心能力的精准考查，也完成对学生解题思维的系统化塑造。期望通过此类高质量训练，引导考生从“被动做题”走向“主动思辨”，从“表层理解”走向“深度解读”，真正夯实高考阅读应试根基，提升终身受益的语言运用与逻辑思维能力。
