etheirjobsintechnologicalrevolution〞以及第二段中的“ThedarksideofthechangecouldbeamuchbiggerbreakdownofemploymentthaninVictoriantimes,with...amongthoseatrisk.〞可知，这次改变的阴暗面是将会引发比维多利亚时期更严重的就业问题，在新技术革命中许多人将会失去工作。应选D项。9．C解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一段可知，人们之所以会失业，是因为新技术创造出来的机器会替代人们从事很多方面的工作。反之，经济学家能够幸免是因为目前还没有一项技术能扮演他们的角色。应选C项。10．B解析：细节理解题。根据第六段可知，过去几年经历的空洞化在将来的规模会更大，因此，从历史中吸取教训并确保人们在接受培训时能够把握住新的时机是很重要的。应选B项。11．D解析：观点态度题。文章多处提到霍尔丹担忧新技术革命造成人们失业的现象在未来会越来越严重，由此可知，霍尔丹对于未来的就业形势是担忧的。应选D项。【长难句分析】Mr.Haldanesaidthehollowing­out(空洞化)experiencedinthepastyearscouldbeonagreaterscaleinthefuture,soitisimportanttolearnthelessonsofhistoryandinsurethatpeoplearegiventrainingtotakeadvantageofnewopportunities.分析：本句是一个主从复合句。said后面是一个省略了that的宾语从句，在这个宾语从句中“thehollowing­outexperiencedinthepastyears〞充当主语；so引导结果状语从句，在这个状语从句中包含itis＋adj.＋todosth.句式，it在这里充当形式主语，learn和insure是由and连接的两个并列的动词不定式结构。译文：霍尔丹表示，过去几年经历的空洞化在将来的规模会更大，因此，从历史中吸取教训并确保人们在接受培训时能够把握住新的时机是很重要的。【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了“蜂鸟班〞积极响应一个环保教育工程。该班由9岁和10岁的孩子组成，他们通过写诗和制作在线视频广告以提醒成年人注意环保问题。12．B解
