If you are young and thinking about your career, you want to know where you can make a living. Well, [12] there’s going to be a technological replacement of a lot of knowledge-intensive jobs in the next twenty years. Particularly in the two largest sectors of the labor force with professional skills. One is teaching, and the other, healthcare. You have so many applications and software and platforms that are going to come in and provide information and service in these two fields, which means a lot of healthcare and education sectors would be radically changed and a lot of jobs will be lost. Now, where will the new jobs be found? [13] Well, the one sector of the economy that can’t be easily duplicated by even smart technologies is the caring sector, the personal care sector. That is, you can’t really get a robot to do a great massage or physically therapy. Or you can’t get the kind of personal attention you need with regard to therapy or any other personal service. They could be very high and personal services. [14] Therapists do charge a lot of money. I think there’s no limit to the amount of personal attention and personal care people would like if they could afford it. But the real question in the future is how can people afford these things if they don’t have money because they can’t get a job that pays enough. [15] That’s why I wrote this book which is about how to reorganize the economy for the future when technology brings about destructive changes to what we used to consider high income work.
Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.
12. What does the speaker say will happen in the next twenty years?
13. Where will young people have more chances to find jobs?
14. What does the speaker say about therapists?
15. What is the speaker’s book about?

选项 A、All services will be personalized.
B、A lot of knowledge-intensive jobs will be replaced.
C、Technology will revolutionize all sectors of industry.
D、More information will be available.

答案 B

解析 浏览四个选项,根据选项中出现的services,will,personalized,jobs,replaced,revolutionize,information等词可以推测,该题可能涉及未来的职业变化。题干问的是根据讲话者所说,接下来的20年会发生什么。短文中提到,在接下来的20年,科技会替代大多数知识密集型工作。故答案为B(很多知识密集型工作会被替代)。A项(所有的服务都会个性化)、C项(科技会使各行各业发生变革)和D项(人们可以获得更多的信息)均与原文不符,故排除。
