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.
By referring to computers and other inventions, the author means to say that ______.
选项
A、people should be able to respond quickly to the advancement of technology
B、future achievements in technology will bring about inconceivable dramatic changes
C、the importance of high technology has been overlooked
D、computer science will play a leading role in the future information services
答案
B
解析
此题问:通过提及计算机和其他的一些发明,作者想要说明什么。文章第二段的前面部分提到了计算机和其他的一些发明,因此这部分是解本题的依据。将四个选项与这部分内容一一对照,A和C的内容这部分没提到,因此可以先排除。B提到了,这部分的第一句说:“我们只需回顾过去就会对未来可能发生的(变化)有一个大概的了解”,后面提到近20年技术的突飞猛进以及未来技术产生巨大变化的可能,B表达的内容与此相符,因此B为正确答案。D似乎有道理,但是它不切题,可以排除。
