Across the gardens of Britain, people are building sheds (棚屋). People have gone crazy about sheds. The Timber Trade Federation reports that in October, the last month for which statistics were available, imports of softwood were 34% higher than a year earlier. With stocks (库存) running low, the available wood is quickly sold out.
A garden shed used to be mostly a place to store tools, or a place to discuss how to grow flowers and enjoy tea and snacks while the rain falls outside, according to Michael Rand, an expert gardener. But the creative brain-worker has long put it to more productive use. Roald Dahl and Dylan Thomas wrote in sheds. George Bernard Shaw had one in his Hertfordshire garden that faced the sun.
Besides growing flowers, the sheds now being built are also often intended for work. However, they are grander than the ones those pioneer shed-writers used. Green Retreats, which mostly builds garden offices, says that overall sales on building sheds grew by 113% between 2019 and 2020. Larger and fancier structures are especially popular.
This has an important impact on cities. Urban scholars like Richard Florida and Edward Glaeser are busy trying to work out whether the rise in home-working that has occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic will continue when the virus declines. If it does, many service jobs in cities, from waiters to taxi drivers, will disappear. Public transport systems will struggle. The value of the city centre's housing will drop. The shed boom makes that outcome more likely.
A white-collar worker who has tried to work from the kitchen table for the past nine months might be keen to return to the office. A worker who has a beautiful garden shed with Wi-Fi will not hope so. Joel Bird, who builds personalized sheds, is certain that his customers expect a long-term change in their working habits. “They don't consider home-working to be temporary,” he says. “They're spending too much money on sheds.”
1.Why did Britain buy more softwood from other countries
A.Softwood was cheaper this year.
B.Demands for sheds were on the rise.
C.Softwood suppliers were fewer than before.
D.Britons stored softwood like crazy due to COVID-19.
2.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A.Previous shed-writers. B.Various functions of sheds.
C.Improvements on shed-building. D.The development of shed-offices.
3.What can we infer from the text
A.The shed boom might threaten the economy in cities.
B.Workers are eager to return to work in their offices.
C.More people prefer gardening in their beautiful sheds.
D.People's working habits remain the same after COVID-19.
4.What does Joel Bird think of the prospect of returning to work in the office after COVID-19
A.Unclear. B.Optimistic. C.Indifferent. D.Pessimistic.
Ⅱ.七选五
(2024江苏连云港七校联考期中)
As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to change our world, it will have good and bad influences on our society. Some people believe that the changes that AI brings will mostly be good. But some changes could be challenging. Here are some of the challenges that might be faced by us in the future. 1
2 Some people are urgently concerned about the loss of jobs caused by the use of machines. But the real challenge for humans is to find their love for new occupations and develop the ability to take these new jobs. According to PwC,a global company, millions of present jobs will be replaced by AI in the UK for decades to come. 3 When people face new jobs, making a living can be challenging for some of them.
Another challenge is about the safety of our data, like our age, our address and our interests.
4 As more and more personal data is called every day by some people and companies, the government should make laws to protect the safety of each person's data.
One more challenge is whether machines will become super-intelligent and be out of humans' control at last. If that happens,it may risk our society's safety, instead of doing good to it.
5 Researcher Elon says,“To deal with this challenge, all countries should work together so that we don't end up doing something wrong with the technology.”
Thus, in the long run, we have to watch these challenges AI brings to our society.
A.AI is often closely connected to data.
B.AI will surely cause our job market to change.
C.But more new jobs will be created for humans.
D.AI will make people reconsider their choice of jobs.
E.People take different attitudes towards the use of AI.
F.This unwanted result of AI's development will likely challenge us all.
G.And we should be thinking about how to deal with them now.

1.B 细节理解题。根据第一段的内容可知,在英国的花园中,人们正在疯狂地建造棚屋;木材贸易联合会的报告称,10月份软木进口量比去年同期增长了34%。由此可知,英国人“疯狂地”在花园里搭建棚屋,所以对软木的需求在增加。故选B。

3.A 推理判断题。根据第四段可知,城市里许多服务性工作可能会消失,公共交通系统将举步维艰,市中心房屋的价值将会下降。因此,棚屋的兴起可能会对城市的经济带来一定的威胁。故选A。
4.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中建造个性化棚屋的乔尔·伯德所说的客户希望长期改变他们的工作习惯,他们认为在家工作不是暂时的,而且在棚屋上花了太多钱可推知,他对疫情后回归办公室工作是不看好的。故选D。 A项“不清楚的”; B项“乐观的”;C项“冷漠的”。
