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%.
One reason why the career of stage performers is declining so fast is that______.
选项 A、stage performers can no longer earn big money
B、fewer people are qualified as stage performers
C、there is less investment in stage performances
D、stage performances have become less popular
答案D
解析 根据关键词stage performers定位到第一个小标题下第二句。该题针对原因进行提问，定位句提到舞台表演已经过时，几乎完全被电影和家庭娱乐技术所代替，这正是舞台表演急剧衰退的原因。D)中的less popular是对定位句中out of fashion的同义转述，因此可以确定D)“舞台表演变得不如之前受欢迎”为本题的答案。
