问题     The industrial age has been the only period of human history which 1.______
most people’s work has taken the form of jobs. The industrial age may now
be coming to an end, and some of the changes in work patterns which it
brings may have to be reversed. 2.______
    This seems a daunting thought. Besides, in fact, it could offer the 3. ______
prospect of a better future for work. Universal employment, as its history
shows, has meant economic freedom. 4.______     Employment became widespread when the enclosures of the 17th and
18th centuries made many people dependent on paid work by depriving them
of the use of the land, and thus the means to provide a living for themselves. 5. ______
Then the factory system destroyed the cottage industries and removed work
from people’s homes. Later, as transport improved first by rail and then by
road, people commuted longer distances to their places of employment until,
actually, many people’s work lost all connection with their home lives and 6.______
the places in which they live.
    Meanwhile, employment put women at a disadvantage. In industrial 7.______
times, men and women had shared the productive work of the household and
village community. Now it became custom for the husband to go out to paid 8.______
employment, leaving the unpaid work of the home and families to his wife.
Tax and benefit regulations still presume this norm today, and restrict more 9.______
flexible sharing of work roles between the sexes.
    The time has certainly come to switch some effort and resources away
from the idealist goal, creating jobs for all, to the urgently practical task of 10.______
helping many people to manage without full-time jobs. [br]
选项
答案 Besides——But／However
解析 本题为逻辑错误。本题关键在于理解daunting的含义，意为“使人畏缩的”，因此上文说这个想法令人害怕，下文却说这能为人们提供更好的工作前景，此处应当是转折关系。
