问题     A new era is upon us. Call it what you will: the service economy, the information age, the knowledge society. It is all translated to a fundamental change in the way we work. Already we’ve partly been there. The percentage of people who earn their living by making things has fallen dramatically in the Western World. Today the majority of jobs in America, Europe and Japan (two thirds or more in many or these countries) are in the service industry, and the number is on the rise. More women are in the work force than ever before. There are more part-time jobs. More people are self-employed. But the breadth of the economic transformation can’t be measured by numbers alone, because it is also giving rise to a radical new way of thinking about the nature of work itself. Long-held notions about jobs and careers, the skills needed to succeed, even the relation between individuals and employers—all these are being changed.
    We have only to look behind us to get some sense of what may lie ahead. No one looking ahead 20 years possibly could have foreseen the ways in which a single invention, the chip (集成电路), would transform our world thanks to its applications in personal computers, digital communications and factory robots. Tomorrow’s achievements in biotechnology, artificial intelligence or even some still unimagined technology could produce a similar wave of dramatic changes. But one thing is certain: information and knowledge will become even more vital, and the people who possess it, whether .they work in manufacturing or services, will have the advantage and produce the wealth. Computer knowledge will become as basic a requirement as the ability to read and write The ability to solve problems by applying information instead of performing routine tasks will be above all else. If you cast your mind ahead 10 years, information services will be predominant It will be the way you do your job.
One of the great changes brought about by the knowledge society is that ______.
选项 A、the difference between the employee and the employer has become insignificant
B、people’s traditional concepts about work no longer hold true
C、most people have to take part-time jobs
D、people have to change their jobs from time to time
答案B
解析 此题问知识社会带来的一个大的变化是什么。文章第一段分析了知识社会的变化和特点。概括起来有两点：一是人们工作的性质发生了根本变化，二是人们对工作性质的思想认识也有了很大的变化。将四个选项与这两点逐一对照，A和D显然可以先排除掉。C看到了兼职工作，但原文说：“有更多的兼职工作”，而没有说：“多数人必须干兼职工作”。B为正确答案，它说：“人们对于工作的传统概念不再适用。”这与知识社会的第二个变化正好相符。
