知，制造业正面临着劳动刀短缺的问题，而第一段张兴海说的话正表明中国年轻人越来越不

愿意到工厂里去工作。故选C。

一项调查中发现,在面临人力短缺的100个就业岗位中,有58个来自制造业。到2025年，10

个主要制造业的短缺能高达3000万人。综上所述，本段主要讲述制造业正在面临严重的劳

动力短缺问题。故选D。

答案:D

34.WhichisNOTthereasonformanpowershortageinfactories?

A.Flexibleworkinghours.

B.Lowerincomes.

C.Undefinedpromotionstructure.

D.Unprotectedlegalrights.

合每年8.4万元;再根据第六段中的“Besides,thelegalrightsandinterestsofthose

doingblue-collarjobsneedtobebetterprotected.和最后一段中的“Also,the

promotionandsalarygrowthstructureoffactoryworkersmustbeclearlydefined.

可知，工厂里的蓝领工人们工资较低,合法权益没有得到更好的保护，晋升和工资增长结构不

明确。这些是年轻人不愿意到工厂工作的原因。故选A。

答案:A

35.Whatistheauthor'sattitudetowardsthecurrentsituationofmanufacturing

industry?

A.Indifferent.B.Concerned.

C.Unclear.D.Neutral.

解析:观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“Inanutshell,tolureyoungpeoplebacktothe

factories,itisnecessarytomakeblue-collarjobsmoreattractive.M可知，为了
