22、ond thoughts about their chosen major and intended career path or those who majored in a field not directly connected to a specific career. If you are in one of these groups, fear not! Although your major, coursework, and academic performance are relevant to landing a job, they are not the only deci

23、ding factors on where you can work. So, just how important is your major to your job search?Some majors are tied directly to specific career fields.

24、cessfully completing a specific major is very important to landing a job in the matching field.Other majors, however, are closely related to career paths but dont necessarily require a degree in the area.

25、hired as an accountant.Lastly, there are many industries, such as professional sales, education (non-teaching positions), insurance, and customer service management, which hire new graduates from several more majors, looking for more generalized (笼统的) requirements.

31、 Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点) C：ConclusionA B C D DThe belief that new technologies are causing the death of work is the idea that never goes away. Despite evidence to the contrary, we still view technological change today as being more rapid and dramatic in its consequences for work th

32、an ever before. But this is nothing new. People have always viewed the technological changes that take place during their lives as the most dramatic and dangerous that ever happened in history.In the 1930s, the British economist(经济学家) John Maynard Keynes predicted the widespread use of electricity w

33、ould produce a world where people spend most of their time doing nothing. In the United States during the 1960s, the government repeatedly investigates fears that automatic machines would permanently reduce the amount of work available. In 1988, one Australian historian claimed that at least a quart

34、er of the workforce would be without jobs within 10 years because of computers.Of course, none of these disasters came to pass in the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia, or anywhere else. Yet today, we are seeing the return of these predictions, with some experts claiming the world of w

35、ork is once more undergoing radical and unprecedented change. They argue that robots and other workplace technologies are causing a reduction in the total amount of work available, or are bringing a more rapid pace of substitution of machines for humans than has been seen previously.But there is a l

36、ittle evidence to support such beliefs. Statistics show that - 7 -the percentage of people in work, the number of hours they work, and how frequently they change jobs have remained remarkably constant over the past 20 years.This stability should not come as a surprise. There are good reasons why we

37、should not expect new technologies to cause the death of work. New technologies always cause job losses, but that is only part of the story. What also needs to be understood is how they increase the amount of work available.One way this happens is through the increases in incomes that accompany the

38、use of new technologies. With the introduction of these technologies, good and services can be produced faster, which results in higher real incomes for workers. Higher incomes then increase demand for other products and consequently more workers are needed to make them. Additionally, while new tech

39、nologies are likely to substitute for some types of workers, they will also increase demand for other types of workers, especially those with higher level skills and expertise.So, the end of work is no closer today than at any time in the past. But there is still a need to keep disproving the predic

40、tion, to reduce peoples fears.32What is the function of the second paragraph?A To explain the importance of developing new technology.B To show how technology affected employment in the past.C To argue that technological dangers are becoming more serious.D To give historical examples of unnecessary

41、fear about new technology.33How can employment statistics over the past 20 years best be described?A Stable B ReliableC Confusing D Variable34According to paragraph 7, why does demand for products often increase after new technology is introduced?A There are more goods for people to choose from.B Pr

42、oductivity improvements help raise workers salaries.C There is more demand for new skills in the economy.D Higher quality goods at lower prices encourage consumption.35What is the authors opinion about the introduction of new technology?A It does not have an effect on most peoples jobs.B Its benefit

43、s are usually not worth the introduction.C It usually l eads to a significant increase in employment.D Its danger to peoples employment possibilities is overstated.第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。注意：请将答案转涂到答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。People around the world used their computers
