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%.
According to the first paragraph, because of the advances in technology and global economic changes,______.
选项
A、many jobs are disappearing sharply
B、many new occupations are emerging
C、people are attracted to higher-paying jobs
D、part-time jobs have become more popular
答案
A
解析
根据关键词the first paragraph,advances,technology和global economic changes定位到第一段第二句。定位句指出,由于科技进步和全球经济的变化,一些职业近些年正在衰退。选项A)中的jobs是对定位句中occupations的同义转述,disappearing对应定位句中的declining,因此可以确定A)“很多工作正在快速地消失"为本题的答案。
