The American idea that hard work was to be U U 1 /U /Udistinguishes us from Europeans who admi

35、 In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. A
36、nswer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Coming to An Office Near YouThe effect of todays technology on tomorrows jobs will be immenseand no country is ready for it.A Innovation, the elixir (灵丹妙药) of progress, has always cost people their jobs. In the Industrial Revo
37、lution artisan (工匠) weavers were swept aside by the mechanical loom. Over the past 30 years the digital revolution has displaced many of the mid-skill jobs that supported 20th-century middle-class life. Typists, ticket agents, bank tellers and many production-line jobs have been dispensed with, just
38、 as the weavers were.B For those, including this newspaper, who believe that technological progress has made the world a better place, such churn (搅动) is a natural part of rising prosperity. Although innovation kills some jobs, it creates new and better ones, as a more productive society becomes ric
39、her and its wealthier inhabitants demand more goods and services. A hundred years ago one in three American workers was employed on a farm. Today less than 2% of them produce far more food. The millions freed from the land were not consigned to joblessness, but found better-paid work as the economy
40、grew more sophisticated. Today the pool of secretaries has shrunk, but there are ever more computer programmers and web designers.Remember IronbridgeC Optimism remains the right starting-point, hut for workers the dislocating (扰乱) effects of technology may make themselves evident faster than its ben
41、efits. Even if new jobs and wonderful products emerge, in the short term income gaps will widen, causing huge social dislocation and perhaps even changing politics. Technologys impact will feel like a tornado (龙卷风), hitting the rich world first, but eventually sweeping through poorer countries too.
42、No government is prepared for it.D Why be worried? It is partly just a matter of history repeating itself. In the early part of the Industrial Revolution the rewards of increasing productivity went disproportionately to capital; later on, labour reaped most of the benefits. The pattern today is simi
43、lar. The prosperity unleashed by the digital revolution has gone overwhelmingly to the owners of capital and the highest-skilled workers. Over the past three decades, labours share of output has shrunk globally from 64% to 59%. Meanwhile, the share of income going to the top 1% in America has risen
44、from around 9% in the 1970s to 22% today. Unemployment is at alarming levels in much of the rich world, and not just for cyclical reasons. In 2000, 65% of working-age Americans were in work; since then the proportion has fallen, during good years as well as bad, to the current level of 59%.E Worse,
45、it seems likely that this wave of technological disruption to the job market has only just started. From driverless cars to clever household gadgets, innovations that already exist could destroy lots of jobs that have hitherto (迄今) been untouched. The public sector is one obvious target: it has prov
46、ed singularly resistant to tech-driven reinvention. But the step change in what computers can do will have a powerful effect on middle-class jobs in the private sector too.F Until now the jobs most vulnerable to machines were those that involved routine, repetitive tasks. But thanks to the rise in processing power and the ubiquity (无处不在) of digitised information (“big data“), computers are increasingly able to perform complicated tasks more cheaply and ef
