Answer 1

分析 本文講述了隨著機(jī)器技術(shù)的發(fā)展，如今找工作越來越難的社會(huì)現(xiàn)狀．

解答 28．B．細(xì)節(jié)理解題 由短文的第一句話It has become more difficult in today's world to find work for everyone．可知現(xiàn)在找工作比以前更困難，即以前找工作比現(xiàn)在容易得多．所以答案選B．
29．C．推理判斷題． 由短文的第二句話The economy of the world needs to grow by 4% each year just to keep the old number of jobs for the people．按照這個(gè)速率增長的需求使人們工作數(shù)量不變，出正確答案為C．
30．C．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．此題根據(jù)原文的最后一句話About 75，000 people are moving to the cities a day to look for jobs，有75000人在找工作，可直接得出答案為C．
31．B．推理判斷題．此題在原文中都可找到答案，而C答案與的觀點(diǎn)Machines do not ask for more money and longer holiday．不一致，所以選B．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本篇文章難點(diǎn)在推理判斷題上．推理判斷題要以表面文字為前提，以具體事實(shí)為依據(jù)進(jìn)行推理，做出判斷．這種推理方式比較直接，考生只要弄清事實(shí)，即可結(jié)合上下文推斷出合理的結(jié)論．
