问题       Many jobs have been lost and they may not be coming back.Some occupations had already been declining for years due to advances in technology and changes in the global economy.The following is a list of careers that are disappearing.
Stage Performers
    The five-year decline for this career was a surprising 61%.Stage performances have fallen out of fashion and have been almost entirely replaced with movies and home entertainment technologies.
Postal Service Mail Sorters (分拣员)
    After losing almost 57 000 jobs between 2004 and 2009,a further 30%decline in this occupation can be seen by 2018.With more automatic processes for mail sorting and increasing correspondence via e-mail and fax, this job is quickly becoming unnecessary.
Office Support Workers
    About 300 000 office support jobs disappeared between 2004 and 2009.Secretaries and file clerks are no longer in demand as companies cut costs.Moreover, technologies like voicemail and easy-to-use word processors have enabled professionals to do their own office work.
Photo Processors
    With the rise of digital photography and automatic printing,positions for manual photo printers are rapidly disappearing.The occupation has been steadily losing jobs in the last five years and there might be a 24% decline by 2018.
Radio Operators
    As technology advances, the need for workers to monitor communications via radiotelephone equipment is disappearing.This already small field saw a five-year decline of 43%.
The benefit of using new technologies in the office is that______.
选项 A、office workers can work on a flexible work system
B、professionals are able to do their own office work
C、secretaries and file clerks are badly in need
D、employees can enjoy better social welfare
答案B
解析 根据题干中的new technologies和office定位到第三个小标题下最后一句。第三个小标题下简述了办公室助理这一职业衰退的情况并解释了原因。定位句指出，语音信箱和文字处理器等技术使专业人员能够自己处理办公室工作。题干考查的是在办公室使用新技术的好处是什么，对比四个选项，B)“专业人员能够自己处理办公室工作”最符合原文表述，故为本题的答案。
