Text 1 In an essay entitled“Making It in America”,the author Adam Davidson relates a joke from cotton country about just how much a modern textile mill has been automated:The average mill has only two employees today,“a man and a dog.The man is there to feed the dog,and the dog is there to keep the man away from the machines.”Davidson's article is one of a number of pieces that have recently appeared making the point that the reason we have such stubbornly high unemployment and declining middleclass incomes today is also because of the advances in both globalization and the information technology revolution,which are more rapidly than ever replacing labor with machines or foreign worker.In the past,workers with average skills,doing an average job,could earn an average lifestyle.But,today,average is officially over.Being average just won't earn you what it used to.It can't when so many more employers have so much more access to so much more above average cheap foreign labor,cheap robotics,cheap software,cheap automation and cheap genius.Therefore,everyone needs to find their extra—their unique value contribution that makes them stand out in whatever is their field of employment.Yes,new technology has been eating jobs forever,and always will.But there's been acceleration.As Davidson notes,“In the 10 years ending in 2009,U.S.factories shed workers so fast that they erased almost all the gains of the previous 70 years;roughly one out of every three manufacturing jobs—about 6 million in total—disappeared.”There will always be change—new jobs,new products,new services.But the one thing we know for sure is that with each advance in globalization and the I.T.revolution,the best jobs will require workers to have more and better education to make themselves above average.In a world where average is officially over,there are many things we need to do to support employment,but nothing would be more important than passing some kind of G.I.Bill for the 21st century that ensures that every American has access to posthigh school education.According to the author,to reduce unemployment,the most important is______A.to accelerate the I.T.revolutionB.to ensure more education for peopleC.to advance economic globalizationD.to pass more bills in the 21st century
选项
A.to accelerate the I.T.revolution
B.to ensure more education for people
C.to advance economic globalization
D.to pass more bills in the 21st century
答案
B
解析
细节题【命题思路】根据题干关键词“reduce unemployment”回文定位到文章最后一段,根据具体信息同义替换,则得出正确答案。【直击答案】文章中最后一段出现了与题干“reduce unemployment”近义的表达“support employment”,而题干“the most important”与文章“nothing would be more important than”相对应,指出促进就业最重要的是颁布类似于“G.I.Bill”(G.I.Bill:二战后签署的“军人安置法案”,给退伍美军提供免费大学或技校教育等福利措施。)的法案来保障人们接受高等教育的权利,B项与之吻合,故正确。【干扰排除】A项“加速信息技术产业变革”,C项“推动经济全球化”,均未提及,属于无中生有,故排除。D项虽提及要颁布更多法案,但文中讲的法案是指与“教育”相关的,而非泛指一般的法案,D项表述不准确,故排除。
