The task looked easy. England, Wales, and Scotland had a combined population of about 9 million, compared with 2.5 million in the 13 rebel colonies, nearly 20 percent of whom were black slaves.

Information includes jobs in computers, robotics, biotechnology, and transmission technologies. Conservation includes jobs in both human and ecological fields, ranging from health care to solar energy and waste disposal. As Americans live longer and become more health-oriented, experts anticipate appreciable growth in such areas as occupational and physical therapy and speech pathology. But more conventional jobs will also abound. Even though robots may replace people on the assembly line, machines are unlikely to eliminate such basic service jobs as janitors, sales clerks, and waiters. And people with administrative and managerial skill will still be needed. In assessing career opportunities, young people would be well advised to keep in mind a point emphasized by James OToole, a professor of management in the University of Southern Californias Graduate School of Business Administration. He notes that in addition to appraising the general opportunities likely to be available, individuals should consider two other factors in mapping their work futures: what they enjoy doing and what they are good at. OToole observes that even a job as a blacksmith is not out of the question if a person is willing to go where there are horses. If people are willing to devote themselves single-mindedly to a field, and if they demonstrate convincing evidence of their talent, they can often secure a job.26.What is the main topic of the passage?_A How to assess career opportunities.B How to get information and conserve natural resources.C How to improve ones managerial skills.D How to map ones futures of work.【参考答案】：A27.It is anticipated that major new areas of growth include all of the following except _.A biotechnologyB transportation improvementC solar energyD technology transfer【参考答案】：B28.According to the passage, there may be growth in speech pathology because _.A more and more people become richerB it is difficult for some people to keep fitC more and more people have difficulty in speakingD it is difficult for people to find a job【参考答案】：C29.It can be inferred from the passage that robots can replace people in _.A working on an assembly lineB waiting on peopleC performing administrative workD selling goods【参考答案】：A30.According to the passage, one can get a job when _.A dedicating himself whole-heartedly to a jobB appraising the general opportunities of work thoroughlyC considering there are enough horsesD keeping in mind that he is willing to take the risk【参考答案】：A听短文Directions:In this section, you will hear 3 short passages.
