If you are young and thinking about your career, you want to know where you can make a living. Well, [12] there’s going to be a technological replacement of a lot of knowledge-intensive jobs in the next twenty years. Particularly in the two largest sectors of the labor force with professional skills. One is teaching, and the other, healthcare. You have so many applications and software and platforms that are going to come in and provide information and service in these two fields, which means a lot of healthcare and education sectors would be radically changed and a lot of jobs will be lost. Now, where will the new jobs be found? [13] Well, the one sector of the economy that can’t be easily duplicated by even smart technologies is the caring sector, the personal care sector. That is, you can’t really get a robot to do a great massage or physically therapy. Or you can’t get the kind of personal attention you need with regard to therapy or any other personal service. They could be very high and personal services. [14] Therapists do charge a lot of money. I think there’s no limit to the amount of personal attention and personal care people would like if they could afford it. But the real question in the future is how can people afford these things if they don’t have money because they can’t get a job that pays enough. [15] That’s why I wrote this book which is about how to reorganize the economy for the future when technology brings about destructive changes to what we used to consider high income work.
Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.
12. What does the speaker say will happen in the next twenty years?
13. Where will young people have more chances to find jobs?
14. What does the speaker say about therapists?
15. What is the speaker’s book about?

选项 A、The rising demand in education and healthcare in the next 20 years.
B、The disruption caused by technology in traditionally well-paid jobs.
C、The tremendous changes new technology will bring to people’ s lives.
D、The amazing amount of personal attention people would like to have.

答案B

解析 浏览四个选项,四个选项都是名词短语且表述的是四个不同的方面,由此可以推测,该题可能涉及文章主旨大意。题干问的是讲话者的书主要是讲什么的。短文最后提到,当科技为我们过去认为高薪的工作带来毁灭性的变化时,我们未来该如何重组经济,这就是说话者的书所讲的内容。故答案为B(科技对传统高薪职业的破坏)。A项(在接下来20年,教育和医疗保健行业需求的增加)、C项(新科技会为人们生活带来的巨大变化)和D项(人们希望拥有大量的个人保养服务)均不是书里的主要内容,故排除。
