问题     If you put water on the stove and heat it up, it will at first just get
hotter and hotter. You may then conclude that heating water results only
in hotter water. But at some points everything changes—the water starts【S1】_____________
to boil, turned from hot liquid into steam. Physicists call this a "phase【S2】_____________
transition".
    Automation, driven by technological progress, has been increasing
inexorably for the past several decades.  Two schools of economical【S3】_____________
thinking have for many years been engaged in a debate about the
potential  effects  of  automation  on jobs,  employment  and  human
activity: will new technology spawn on mass unemployment, as the【S4】_____________
robots take jobs away from humans? Or will jobs robots take over release【S5】_____________
or unveil—or even create—demand for new human jobs? The debate has
flared up again recently because technological achievements such as deep【S6】_____________
learning, which recently enabled a Google software program called
AlphaGo to beat Go world champion Lee Sedol, a task considered even
hard than beating the world’s chess champions.【S7】_____________
    Ultimately the question boils down to it:  are today’s modern【S8】_____________
technological innovations like those of the past, which made obsolete the
job of buggy maker, but created the job of automobile manufacturer? Or
is there  something about today  that is marked different?  Malcolm【S9】_____________
Gladwell’s book The Tipping Point highlighted what he called "that
magic  moment  when  an  idea,  trend,  or  social  behavior  cross a【S10】____________
threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire". Can we really be confident
that we are not approaching a tipping point, a phase transition—that we
are not mistaking the trend of technology both destroying and creating
jobs for a law that it will always continue this way?
【S5】
选项
答案∧第二个jobs—the
解析 冠词缺失。此处意为“机器人接手的工作”，该句中的jobs为主语，robots take over作定语对其进行修饰，特指机器人接手的那些工作，故在jobs前加定冠词the。
