A new era is upon us. Call it what you will: the service economy, the information age, the knowledge society. It all translates to a fundamental change in the way we work. Already we're partly there. The percentage of people who earn their living by making things has fallen dramatically in the Western World. Today the majority of jobs in America, Europe and Japan (two thirds or more in many of these countries) are in the service industry, and the number is on the rise. More women are in the work force than ever before. There are more part-time jobs. More people are self-employed. But the breadth of the economic transformation can't be measured by numbers alone, because it also is giving rise to a radical new way of thinking about the nature of work itself. Long-held notions about jobs and careers, the skills needed to succeed, even the relation between individuals and employers--all these are being challenged.
We have only to look behind us to get some sense of what may be ahead. No one looking ahead 20 years possibly could have foreseen the ways in which a single invention, the chip, would transform our world thanks to its applications in personal computers, digital communications and factory robots, Tomorrow's achievements in biotechnology, artifical intelligence or even some still unimagined technology could produce a similar wave of dramatic changes. But one thing is certain: information and knowledge will become even more vital, and the people who possess it, whether they work in manufacturing or services, will have the advantage and produce the wealth Computer knowledge will become as basic a requirement as the ability to read and write. The ability to solve problems by applying information instead of performing routine tasks will be valued above all else. If you cast your mind ahead 10 years, information services will be predominant. It will be the way you do your job.
(1) A characteristic of the information age is that ________.
[ ]
A．most of the job opportunities can now be found in the service industry
B．manufacturing industries are steadily increasing
C．people find it harder and harder to earn a living by working in factories
D．the service industry is relying more and more on the female work force
(2) One of the great changes brought about by the knowledge society is that ________.
[ ]
A．the difference between the employee and the employer has become insignificant
B．people have to change their jobs from time to time
C．most people have to take part-time jobs
D．people's traditional concepts about work no longer hold true
(3) By referring to computers and other inventions, the author means to say that ________.
[ ]
A．people should be able to respond quickly to the advancement of technology
B．the importance of high technology has been overlooked
C．future achievements in technology will bring about inconceivable dramatic changes
D．computer science will play a leading role in the future information services
(4) The future will probably belong to those who ________.
[ ]
A．give full play to their brain potential
B．possess and know how to make use of information
C．involve themselves in service industries
D．cast their minds ahead instead of looking back

(1) 本题为推理题。文章第一段第六句指出：现在美欧日大多数职业集中在服务性行业，且人类在增多。说明在服务业中有更多的就业机会。(2) 本题为细节题。相关内容见于第一段倒数第二句，“但是经济变革的广度并不能仅仅依靠数字来衡量，原因就在于这引发人们一种根本的对工作本身性质的全新看法”，说明人们原有的对工作的看法已经不成立了。(3) 本题为细节题。见文章第二段第三句，作者在叙述了芯片所带来的重大变化革后，接着叙述了其它一些生物学、人工智能等未来技术可能会产生难以想像的重要变革。故应选C。(4) 本题为推理题。文章第二段第六句中作者指出，“具备利用已知信息解决问题而不是采用传统的方法的能力，是所有因素中最重要的”。可见与选项B含义相同。 |

Q:
I’d like to know about fluency．What can I do to feel better when I’m talking to other people? Do you have some ways to learn it faster? Please help me! —Roberto in Brazil
A:
Roberto wants to know how to become more fluent in English, and this is something you want to be able to do “fast”．
First, if you get to meet English speakers much, the important rule is to listen not just to native speakers of English, but also to very good users of English．If you don’t, then listen to the radio, TV or films in English．
The next step is to notice what it is that speakers of English do, which makes them sound fluent．The first trick(诀窍) is to probably have confidence．Some people think they might make mistakes．Don’t worry about that．Your listeners will usually try hard to understand you — a few grammar mistakes aren’t going to worry them．
What you do need to worry about is pronunciation, especially stress(重音)．When you learn a new word or expression, learn it with its stress．Notice how a native speaker says it or look it up in a dictionary．
Another good thing that speakers of English do is to have a few tricks up their sleeves(袖子) for when they need to give themselves thinking time．Sometimes they use “filler sounds” like er, um and so on．
It is also useful to know how to bring other speakers into your conversation so that you keep them interested － and this is often done by asking questions like “What do you think?” “How do you feel about this?” and so on．
So, to become a fluent speaker, you’ll need to put into practice all these kinds of things．And there’s the key: practise, practise, practise． －Susan Fearn
56．Susan first encourages English learners to ．
A．meet English speakers B．listen to very good speakers
C．talk to English speakers D．buy a radio or a TV set
57．When mentioning pronunciation, Susan pays special attention to ．
A．stress B．expressions C．dictionaries D．words
58．What do the underlined words “to have a few tricks up their sleeves” probably mean?
A．To wear a lot of clothes．
B．To have a secret plan or idea．
C．To hide some tricks into their sleeves．
D．To have sleeves covering their whole arms．
59．What do we know from the passage?
A．One can only learn stress from dictionaries．
B．Grammar mistakes worry one’s listeners a lot．
C．Asking questions can make one’s conversation attractive．
D．One can become fluent if one practises one of the suggestions．

The first driver passed by and gave me a card with a number for me to 40 help. I was filled with 41 , but I had no choice but to lead my three sisters to a nearby place to make the 42 .

Suddenly, we came to a dead stop, and the driver turned to us. “Look! It is very 45 to go forward. You have to get out and walk. If I drive any further, the taxi will slide back,” he said. “Er ... can you keep your headlight on and help my elder sister? The rest of us will follow you up,” I said. The driver 46 .
We made it safely back to our hotel. Even though it 47 for the rest of the days, we could see the silver lining in the cloud(一线希望): the generous soul who helped us.
