Recent analysis indicates the U.S. education system is adapting to changing workforce needs and demands. Signals from the marketplace, coming in the form of higher pay rates for certain occupations, are motivating students to enroll in educational programs congruent with the needs of those industries. This training is expanding and improving their skills in those areas, and, by extension, their own marketability. Furthermore, the entire system is undergoing positive change including parents, educators and administrators. The changes are increasing choices and helping to mitigate equity issues, but there is still room for improvement.
As the American economy becomes a more global one, the advantage of Americans in knowledge and skill-based industries will only grow larger. Thus, the level of education of the worker will become an even greater factor in increasing productivity and spurring progress. To the individual worker, that means that his level of education will directly influence his salary. Similarly, fair income distribution will greatly depend on equity of access and participation in educational resources. Given existing social disparities, intervention may be required to assist a substantial segment of Americans.
Legislation has been passed mandating equal access to key educational and aid facilities, making it easier for those most in need of those services to obtain them. Recent laws forbid employers and educators from discriminating against various applicants or employees based on their race, age, gender or physical appearance, among other factors. Furthermore, the American civil litigation system has been doing its part as well, hearing cases involving discrimination and unequal treatment and, more often than not, deciding in favor of equality. At almost all levels, progress has been made in equalizing the disparities that exist between various social and ethnic groups in the schools and in the workplace.
However, income and racial-ethnicity problems continue to dog the system. As the structure of the economy shifts to support a larger proportion of knowledge-intensive industries, these disparities will only become more intractable. To the extent that more equitable income distribution is desirable, additional government intervention may be required.
In paragraph 4, the word "dog" is most similar in use to "______".
选项
A、be addressed by
B、trouble
C、be associated with
D、characterize
答案
B
解析
属词义推断题。由dog所在的句子(第四段第一句)中使用的however及下文的as,可推断dog的意思与progress相反,与intractable(难处理的)相近。因此,选项B正确(使麻烦)。选项A、C、D分别意为“处理”、“把…联系起来”、“具有…特征/特点”。
