If the technological revolution continues to have its effects, there will be fewer and fewer jobs available, particularly to school-leavers and those over the age of fifty. If there are only half the number of jobs in the future, men and women will have to share them. Two people will therefore work only twenty hours each instead of the forty they are currently accustomed to. It is a well-known fact that those who suffer from stress at work are often not high-powered executives but unskilled workers doing boring, repetitive jobs, especially those on production lines. Unemployment often has a similar effect on its victims. If we wish to prevent this type of stress and the depression(沮丧)that frequently follows long periods of it, we will have to find ways of educating people to cope with this sudden increase in leisure time.
Many have already turned to pills and tablets to combat sleeplessness and anxiety, two of the symptoms of long-term stress and depression. In America, we spend $ 650 million a year on different kinds of medicines. We swallow a staggering(大得惊人的)three million sleeping tablets every night. Although these "drugs of the mind" can be extremely useful in cases of crisis, the majority of patients would be better off without them.
The boredom and frustration of unemployment are not the only causes of stress: poor housing, family problems, overcrowding and financial worry are all significant factors. Nevertheless, doctors believe that if people learnt to breathe properly, took more exercise, used their leisure time more actively and expressed their anger instead of bottling it up, they would not depend so much on drugs, which treat only the symptoms and not the cause of the stress. If doctors refused prescriptions more often and discouraged patients with minor ailments from visiting the clinic, the country would have more money to spend on improving leisure facilities and adult education, which are at present inadequate in many parts of the country. Moreover, doctors would have more time to spend on those patients in real need of their help.

选项

B、Those who undergo the pressure at work are usually the unskilled workers and labor workers with dull and repetitive jobs.

答案
A
解析
此题问下面哪个句子是不对的。回答此种类型题应该针对所给的四个选择项提示的内容,用查阅式阅读法依次核实排查,即可找出正确答案。选择项A中有明确的提示词technological revolution和contimles to have its effects等,因此可以利用查阅式阅读的方法,我们发现文章的第一句话就是与此题答案相关的句子。作者指出,如果技术革命继续发挥作用的话,工作将会越来越少,特别是对于那些刚刚离开了校园的学生和年过半百的人来说。而答案A说如果技术革命继续发挥作用的话将会给刚毕业的学生提供足够多的工作。此种表述刚好与原文所表达的内容相反。所以,本题的正确答案应是A。而答案B:承受工作中压力最大的是那些非熟练无技能的工人和体力劳动者。这个意思刚好与文章第一段第四句话的内容一致。答案C的内容可以在文章第一段最后一句话中找到依据。答案D是文章最后一自然段第一句话的同义互释性的表述。因此,B、C和D三个答案都符合文章原文内容,不是本题的正确答案。
