Literacy rates increased throughout the 19th century, as people started moving from the countryside to towns and cities for the job opportunities opening up in the newly industrialized societies. Many of these new jobs, especially the higher paying ones, required the ability to read and write. With the rise of universal education in almost all countries around the world, literacy rates have steadily gone up over the past hundred years.But basic literacy is no longer enough. For years now, routine human tasks, that is, those tasks that can well be described by a set of rules, have been taken over by technology substitution (代替) and automation (自动化). Many bluecollar manufacturing activities in assembly plans have fallen into this category. So have an increasing number of whitecollar informationbased activities, including record keeping and many kinds of administrative tasks.Not surprisingly, our knowledgebased digital economy requires better educated workers with specific skills requirements. For example, we are surrounded by smart machines cars, music players, TVs, video recorders, smart phones, PCs, the Internet, email, the Web, ecommerce sites and on and on and on. They have become indispensable tools at work and at home. Digital literacy, the ability to deal with the sophisticated machines all around and use them effectively to help us address complex problems, has become a very important skill.In general, people who are comfortable dealing with complexity are better able to handle more demanding, higher paying jobs. In our complex world, unanticipated situations often arise that we have not encountered before and thus require good problemsolving skills. Similar cognitive skills are necessary to help us evaluate the options involved in making complex decisions.A 2011 study by the McKinsey Global Institute projects a continuous demand for workers with at least a postsecondary education to meet the demands of business. According to McKinsey, employers are already having trouble filling positions requiring technical skills. Many workers will not necessarily have the skills needed for the jobs that are most likely to be in demand.Moreover, as we look into the future, digital technologies will continue to be applied to activities requiring cognitive capabilities and problemsolving intelligence that not long ago were viewed as the exclusive domain of humans. As a result, we will need to continually upgrade our skills in order to keep up with our increasingly smart machines and fast changing job requirements.1. Why is advanced literacy necessary?AThere are more human tasks which can be described by a set of rules.BThere are more bluecollar manufacturing activities.CMore routine human tasks have been taken over.DMore record keeping and many kinds of administrative tasks appear.2Which of the following best describes what our digital economy needs?ASmart machines cars, music players, TVs, the Internet, and so on.BWorkers with good education and specific requirements.CSophisticated machines all around.DIndispensable tools at work and at home.3From Paragraph 5, we can learn that McKinsey agrees that_.Aemployers find it difficult to find skilled workersBemployees have difficulty filling in the formsCworkers surely have the skills needed for the jobsDall skills are in demand in the future4Which of the following is the best title for the passage?AWorlds Literacy RatesBThe Development of Digital TechnologiesCFast Changing AttitudesDJobs and Lifelong Learning .任务型阅读 (2015无锡市高三上学期期末)The parents of a troubled teen may feel unsure as to whom to turn to in order to find help for their child. They may feel as if they have exhausted all of their options, and sometimes they are on the point of giving up. But there is hope, schools for troubled teens offer discipline and in some cases, drug treatment programs that can provide important life skills, and more importantly, a fresh start.The following is a list of the most effective types of schools for troubled teens. Not every facility is a match for every child. But by knowing the differences between them, parents can decide better where to send their teenagers.Boarding SchoolsWhen a child is unable to deal with the relative freedom of a standard school day, boarding schools might be a good choice. At boarding schools, the child lives in a dorm setting, where almost every minute of the day is scheduled by school administrators.Treatment CentersWhen a teenager has an addiction to drugs or alcohol. A treatment center that specializes in young people is an outstanding way to help them break the cycle of addiction.Treatment centers feature individual and group counseling(咨询) to help identify the root causes of the drug problem and help develop the life skills needed to stay clean when the program is over.Wilderness ProgramsDesigned to help improve the discipline and selfreliance of the child, wilderness programs send kids back to nature. By placing them in a foreign and sometimes uncomfortable setting, wilderness programs hope to improve childrens behavior. Programs generally include hikes, exercise programs and team building exercise.Boot CampsBoot camps are the most extreme style of school for troubled teens. These facilities are modeled after actual military boot camps.where the individual must get into shape. Work as part of a team, and follow a long, hard set of rules and regulations. However, boot camps might not be the best choice for a teen with a drug addiction.(1)_Schools for Troubled TeenagersProblemHaving (2)_out all the options.
