Section III Reading Comprehension (40 points)
Directions: There are 4passages in this part. Each passage os followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marded A, B, C, and D. Y ou should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a pencil.
Questions 41 to 45 are bad on the following passage:
Office jobs are among the positions hardest hit by compumation (计算机自动化). Word processors and typists will lo about 93,000 jobs over the next few years, while 57,000 cretarial jobs will vanish. Blame the PC: Today, many executives type their own memos and carry their：“cretaries”in the palms of their hands. Time is also hard for stock clerks, who ranks are expected to decrea by 68,000. And employees in manufacturing firms and wholesalers are being replaced with computerized systems.
But not everyone who los a job will end up in the unemployment line. Many will shift to growing po
sitions within their own companies. When new technologies shook up the telecomm business, telephone operator Judy Dougherty pursued retraining. She is now a communications technician, earning about $ 64,000 per year. Of cour, if you've been a tollbooth collector for the past 30 years, and you find yourlf replaced by an E¬-ZPass machine, it may be of little consolation(安慰) to know that the telecomm field is booming.
And that's just it: The rvice economy is fading; welcome to the experti(专门知识) economy. To succeed in the new job market, you must be able to handle complex problems. Indeed, all but one of the 50 highest-paying occupations---air-traffic controller---de mand at least a bachelor’s degree. For tho with just a high school diploma(毕业证书),It's going to get tougher to find a well-paying job. Since fewer factory and clerical jobs will be available, what's left will be the jobs that compumation can’t kill: Computers can’t clean offices ,or care for Alzheimer's patients(老年痴呆病人). But ,since most people have the skills to fill tho positions, the wages stay painfully low ,meaning compumation could drive an even deeper wedge (楔子) between the rich and poor. The best advice now: Never stop learning ,and keep up with new technology.
For busy adults, of cour, that can be tough. The good news is that the very technology that's reducing so many jobs is also making it easier to go back to school without having to sit in a classroo
m. So-called Internet distance learning is hot, with more than three million students currently enrolled , and it’s gaining credibility with employers.
Are you at risk of losing your job to a computer ? Check the federal Bureau of Labor
Statistics' Occupational Outlook Handbook, which is available online at bls. gov.

Question 46 to 50 are bad on the following passage：
Tens of thousands of 18-year-olds will graduate this year and be handed meaningless diplomas. The diplomas won't look any different from tho awarded their luckier classmates .Their validity will be questioned only when their employers discover that the graduates are militerate(半文盲)
Eventually a fortunate few will find their way into educational –repair shops—adult–literacy programs,
such as the one where I teach basic grammar and writing. There, high-school graduates and high-school dropouts pursuing graduate-equivalency certificates will learn the skills they should have learned in school, They will also discover they have been cheated by our educational system.
I will never forget a teacher who got the attention of one of my children by revealing the trump card of failure. Our youngest, a world-class charmer, did little to develop his intellectual talents but always got by Until Mrs. Stifter.
Our son was high-school nior when he had her for English. ―He sits in the back of the room talking to his friends.‖ she told me, ―Why don't you move him to the front row? ‖ I urged, believing the embarrassment would get him to ttle down. Mrs. Stifter said, 'I don't move niors. I flunk (使┅不及格) them. ' Our son's academic life flashed before my eyes. No teacher had ever threatened him. By the time I got home I was feeling pretty good about this .It was a radical approach for the times, but, well, Why n ot? ―She's going to flunk you.‖ I tol d my son.
I did not discuss it any further. Suddenly English became a priority (头等重要) in his life. He finished out the mester with an A.
I know one example doesn't make a ca, but at night I e a parade of students who are angry for
having been pasd along until they could no longer even pretend to keep up. Of average intelligence or better, they eventually quit school, concluding they were too dumb to finish.‖ I should have been held back,‖ is a comment I hear frequently. Even sadder are tho students who are high-school graduates who say to me after a few weeks of class.‖ I don’t know how I ever got a high-school diploma.‖
Passing students who have not mastered the work cheats them and the employers who expect graduates to have basic skills. We excu this dishonest behavior by saying kids can't learn if they come from terrible environments. No one ems to stop to think that most kids don't put school first on their list unless they perceive something is at risk. They'd rather be sailing.
Many students I e at night have decided to make education a priority. They are motivated by the desire for a better job or the need to hang on to the one they've got. They have a healthy fear of failure.
People of all ages can ri above their problems, but they need to have a reason to do so. Y oung people generally don't have the maturity to value education in the same way my adult students value it. But fear of failure can motivate both.

Names have gained increasing importance in the competitive world of higher education.
