A week goes by without some advances in technology, which would have seemed incredible nowadays. And we can expect the rate of change to accelerate rather than slow down within our lifetime. The developments in technology are bound to have a dramatic effect on the future of work. By 2010, new technology will have revolutionized communications. People will be transmitting more messages along telephone lines that previously would have been sent by post. Not only postmen but also clerks and secretaries will vanish in a paper-free society. All the routine tasks they perform will be carried on a tiny silicon chip so that they will be as obsolete as the horse and cart after the invention of the motor car. One change will make thousands, if not millions, redundant.
Even people in traditional professions, where expert knowledge has been the key, are unlikely to escape the effects of new technology. Instead of going to a solicitor, you might go to a computer which is programmed with all the most up-to-date legal information. Doctors, too, will find that an electronic competitor will be able to carry out a much quicker and more accurate diagnosis and recommend more efficient courses of treatment. In education, teachers will be largely replaced by teaching machines far more knowledgeable than any human being. Most learning will take place in the home via video conferencing. Children will still go to school though ,until another place is created where they can make friends and develop social skills.
What can we do to avoid the threat of unemployment? We shouldn’t hide our heads in the sand. Unions will try to stop change but they will be fighting a losing battle. People should get computer literate as this just might save them from professional extinction. After all, there will be a few jobs left in law, education and medicine for those few individuals who are capable of writing and programming the software of the future. Strangely enough, there will still be jobs like rubbish collection and cleaning as it is tough to programme tasks which are largely unpredictable.
We can learn from the second paragraph that ______.
选项
A、traditional professions won’t be affected by new technology
B、doctors won’t be as efficient as computers
C、computers can not replace lawyers
D、experts will know less in the future
答案
B
解析
根据题干定位到第二段,由第三句中的electronic competitor(电子竞争者)=computer, much quicker与more accurate diagnosis(更准精的诊断)可推断[B]为正确答案。[A]与第一句 traditional professions...are unlikely to escape the effects of new technology相矛盾;[C]与第二句Instead of going to a solicitor内容不符;未来很多专家的工作将会被计算机取代,但并不是说未来专家的知识没有现在的专家渊博,故排除[D]。
