Word processors and typists will lose about 93,000 jobs over the next few years, while 57,000 secretarial jobs will vanish. Blame the PC: Today, many executives type their own memos and carry there”secretaries” in the palms of their hands. Time is also hard for stock clerks, whose ranks are expected to decrease by 68,000. And employees in manufacturing firms and wholesalers are being replaced with computerized systems. But not everyone who loses a job will end up in the unemployment line. Many will shift to growing positions within their own companies. When new technologies shook up the telecomm business, telephone operator Judy Dougherty pursued retraining. She is now a communications technician, earning about $ 64,000 per year. Of course, if you’ve been a tollbooth collector for the past 30 years, and you find yourself replaced by an E-ZPass machine, it may be of little consolation(安慰) to know that the telecom field is booming. 职业经理人的终身商学院 010-62138465 mba_exam@126.com 中 国 MB A网 ww w. mb a. or g. cn 中国 MBA 网 www.mba.org.cn And that’s just it: The service economy is fading: welcome to the expertise(专门知识) economy. To succeed in the new job market, you must be able to handle complex problems. Indeed, all but one of the 50 highest-paying occupations---air-traffic controller---demand at least a bachelor’s degree. And that’s just in the new job market, you must be able to handle complex problems, Indeed, all but one of the 50 highest – paying occupations –air traffic controller demand least a bachelor’e degree. For those with just a high school diploma(毕业证 书 关于书的成语关于读书的排比句社区图书漂流公约怎么写关于读书的小报汉书pdf ).It’s going to get tougher to find a well-paying job. Since fewer factory and clerical jobs will be available .what’s left be the jobs that compumations can’t kill, computers cant clean offices ,or for Alzheimer’s patients(老年痴呆病人). But ,since most people have the skills to fill those positions, the wages stay painfully low ,meaning compumation could drive an even deeper wedge(楔子) between the and poor, The best advice now ,Never stop learning ,and keep up with new technology. For busy adults of course that can be tough ,The good news is that very technology that’s reducing so many jobs is a making it easier to go back to school without having to sit in a classroom. So-called internet distance learning is hot, with more than three million students currently enrolled , and it’s gaining credibility with employers. Are you at risk of losing your job to a computer ? Check the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Occupational Outlook Handbook ,which is available online at bls.gov . 41、Prom the first paragraph we can infer that all of the following persons are easily thrown into unemployment EXCEPT.

Blaming the PC 职业经理人的终身商学院 010-62138465 mba_exam@126.com 中 国 MB A网 ww w. mb a. or g. cn 中国 MBA 网 www.mba.org.cn B. The booming telecomm field C. Internet distance leaning D. Keeping up with compumation Question 46 to 50 are based on the following passage： Tens of thousands of 18 – year – olds will graduate this year and be handed meaningless diplomas .These diplomas won’t look any different from awarded their luckier classmates Their validity will be questioned only when their employers discover the these graduates are semiliterate(半文盲) Eventually a fortunate few will find their way into educational – repair – adult – literacy Programs, such as the one where I teach grammar and writing .There ,high -school graduates and high – school dropouts pursuing graduate – equivalency certificates will learn the skills they should have learned in school ,They will discover they have been cheated by our educational system. I will never forget a teacher senior when be had her for English .“He site in the back of the room talking to his friends “.she told me ,”Why don’t you move him to the front row? I urged believing the embarrassment would get him to settle down, Mrs. Stifter said ,”I don’t move seniors. I think (使 ┅ 不及格) them.” Our son’s academic life flashed before my eyes. No teacher had ever threatened him. By the time I got home I was feeling pretty good this .It was a radical approach for these times ,but well. Why not ? She’s going to flunk you “ I told my son. I I did not discuss it any further.Suddenly English became a priorty(头等重要) in his life.He finished out the semester with an A. I know one example doesn’t make a case,but at night I see a parade of students who are angry for having been passed along until they could no longer even pretend to keep up.Of average intelligence or better,they eventually quit school,concluding they were too dumb to finish.”I should have been held back,”is a comment I hear frequently.Even sadder are those students who are high-school graduates who say to me after a few weeks of class.”I don’t know how I ever got a high-school diploma.” Passing students who have not mastered the work cheats them and the employers who expect graduates to have basic skills.We excuse this dishonest behavior by saying kids can’t learn if they come from terrible environments.No one seems to stop to think that most kids don’t put school first on their list unless they perceive something is at risk.They’d rather be sailing. Many students I see at night have decided to make education a priority.They are motivated by the desire for a better job or the need to hang on to the one they’ve got.They have a healthy fear of failure. People of all ages can rise above their problems,but they need to have a reason to do so.Yong people generally don’t have the maturity to value education in the same way my adult students value it.But fear of failure can motivate both. 46.What is the subject of this essay? A.view point on learning B.a qualified teacher C.the importance of examination 职业经理人的终身商学院 010-62138465 mba_exam@126.com 中 国 MB A网 ww w. mb a. or g. cn 中国 MBA 网 www.mba.org.cn D.the generation gap 47.How did Mrs.Sifter get the attention of one of the author’s children?

Judging from the content , this passage is probably written for A. administrators B. students C. teachers D. parents Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage: Names have gained increasing importance in the competitive world of higher education. As colleges strive for market share, they are looking for names that project the image they want or reflect the changes they hope to make. Trenton.State College, for example ,became the College of New Jersey nine years ago when it began raising admissions standards and appealing to students from throughout the state. “All I hear in higher education is, “Brand ,brand ,brand,” said Tim Westerbeck, who specializes in branding and is managing director of Lipman Hearne, a marketing firm based in Chicago that works with universities and other nonprofit organizations. “There has been a sea change over the last 10 years. Marketing used to be almost a dirty word in higher education.” Not all efforts at name changes are successful, ofcourse . In 1997 , the New School for Social Research became New School University to reflect its growth into a collection of eight colleges, offering a list of majors that includes psychology, music ,urban studies and management. But New Yorkers continued to call it the New School . 英语试 题 快递公司问题件快递公司问题件货款处理关于圆的周长面积重点题型关于解方程组的题及答案关于南海问题 第 9 页（共 14 页） (10 页) Now,after spending an undisclosed sum on an online survey and a marketing consultant’s creation of “haming structures.” “brand architecture” and “ identity systems,” the university has come up with a new name: the New School.Beginning Monday, it will adopt new logon(标识)， 职业经理人的终身商学院 010-62138465 mba_exam@126.com 中 国 MB A网 ww w. mb a. or g. cn 中国 MBA 网 www.mba.org.cn banners, business cards and even new names for the individual colleges, all to include the words “the New School.” Changes in names generally reveal significant shifts in how a college wants to be perceived. In altering its name from Cal State. Hayward, to Cal State, East Bay, the university hoped to project its expanding role in two mostly suburban countries east of San Francisco. The University of Southern Colorado, a state institution, became Colorado State University at Pucblo two years ago, hoping to bighight many internal changes, including offering more graluate programs and setting higher admissions standards. Beaver College turned itself into Arcadia University in 2001 for several reasons: to break the connection with its past as a women’s college, to promote its growth into a full-fledged(完全成熟 的) university and officials acknowledged, to climinate some jokes about the college’s old name on late-night television and “moring zoo” radio shows. Many college officials said changing a name and image could produce substantial results. At Arcadia, in addition to the rise in applications, the average student’s test score has increased by 60 points, Juli Roebeck, an Arcadia spokeswoman, said. 51. which of the following is NOT the reason for colleges to change their names? A. They prefer higher education competition B. They try to gain advantage in market share. C. They want to project their image. D. They hope to make some changes. 52.
