问题  
Five million jobs in the world’s leading economies could disappear over the next five years because of advances in technology.
   Developments in artificial intelligence, robotics, and biotechnology, would disturb the business world in a similar way to previous industrial revolutions, the World Economic Forum said in a report.
   Administrative and white collar office jobs are most at risk from a "fourth industrial revolution," the forum said on the eve of its annual meeting.
   It found that as many as 7.1 million jobs in the world’s richest countries could be lost. Those losses would be partially compensated by the creation of 2.1 million new opportunities in sectors such as tech, professional services and media.
   Countries will have to invest in transforming their workforce if they want to keep up with the changes and avoid a worse case of "talent shortages, mass unemployment and growing inequality," said Klaus Schwab, the founder and chairman of the World Economic Forum.
   Investing in education and adult learning programs is a good place to start
   Around 65% of children starting primary school today will end up working in jobs that don’t yet exist, and their future training is crucial, according to the report.
   Insisting on more diverse workforces in terms of gender, ethnicity and age, will also be vital for companies that want to succeed in the rapidly changing world.
5. What will happen in the next five years because of technology development?
6. What does Schwab suggest countries do?
7. What should companies do to succeed in the changing world?

选项 A、Cut off white collar office jobs.
B、Develop artificial intelligence.
C、Invest in transforming their workforce.
D、Attract more foreign talents.

答案 C

解析 新闻最后引用Klaus Schwab说明各国应如何应对变化。他建议各国要在改变劳动力(构成)上加大投资(invest in transforming their workforce),C复现新闻原词,为答案。新闻中有提到办公室的白领工作(white collar office jobs)会大量消失,但并没有说国家要主动取消这类工作,故A错误。B“发展人工智能”和D“吸引更多国外人才”均没有在新闻中提到。
