. She doesn39。 t feel like working long hours flying abroad. 64. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the three advertisements? A. Marriage. B. Male or female. C. Education. D. Working experience. (B) A new period is ing. Call it what you will: the service industry, the information age, the knowledge society. It all translates to a great change in the way we work. Already we‟re partly there, the percentage of people who earn their living by making things has fallen sharply in the Western World. Today the majority of jobs in America, Europe and Japan (two thirds or more are in many of these countries) are in the service industry, and the number is on the rise. More women are in the work force than ever before. There are more parttime jobs. More people are selfemployed. But the breath of the great change can‟t be measured by numbers alone, because it also is giving rise to new way of thinking about the nature of work itself. Longheld opinions about jobs and careers, the skills needed to succeed, even the relation between workers and employers—all these are being doubted. We have only to look behind us to get some sense of what may lie ahead. No one looking ahead 20 years possibly could have seen the ways in which a single invention, the chip(芯片 ), would change our world thanks to its uses in personal puters, and factory equipment. Tomorrow‟s achievements in biotechnology or even some still unimagined technology could produce a similar wave of great changes. But one thing is certain: information and knowledge will bee even more important, and the people who own it, whether they work in factories or services, will have the advantage and produce the wealth. Computer knowledge will bee as basic a requirement as the ability to read and write. The ability to deal with problems by making use of information instead of performing regular tasks will be valued above all else. If you look ahead 10 years, information service will be leading the way. It will be the way you do your job. 65. Information age means _____________. A. the service industry is depending more and more on women workers B. heavy industries are rapidly increasing C. people find it harder and harder to earn a living by working in factories D. most of the job chances can now be found in the service industry. 66. Knowledge society brings about a great change that __________. A. the difference between the workers and employers has bee smaller B. people‟s old ideas about work no longer exist C. most people have to take parttime jobs D. people have to change their jobs from time to time 67. The future will probably belong to those who _________. A. own and know how to make use of information B. can read and write well C. devote themselves to service industries D. look ahead instead of looking back (C) Among various programmes, TV talk shows have covered every inch of space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different in style(风格 ). But no two shows are more opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, 招聘教师考试 英语 第 7 页 （共 12 页） than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows. Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of “rubbish talk”. The contents on his show are as surprising as can be. For example, the show takes the evermon talk show titles of love, sex, cheating, and hate, to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people39。 s lives. Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its top, but Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality of life. Contents are from teaching your children lessons, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors. Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured into society. Jerry ends every show with a “final word”. He makes a small speech about the entire idea of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable. Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show39。 s main viewers are middleclass Americans. Most of these people have the time, money, and ability to deal with life39。 s tougher problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of a connection with the young adults of society. These are 18to21yearolds whose main troubles in life include love, relationship, sex, money and drug. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the show39。 s exploitation. 68. Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are_____. A. more interesting B. unusually popular C. more detailed D. 69. Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear unpleasant, people who watch the shows_____. A. B. C. D. 70. Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show? A. A new type of robot. B. Nation hatred. C. Family ine planning. D. Street accident. 71. We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows_______. A. B. C. appear at different times of the d D. attract different people (D) Advertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they‟re always ing in for criticism. Their critics seem to resent them because they have a flair for selfpromotion and because they have so much money to throw around. “It‟s iniquitous,” they say, “that this entirely unproductive industry (if we can call it that) should absorb millions of pounds each year. It only goes to show how much profit the big panies are making. Why don‟t they stop advertising and reduce the price of their goods? After all, it‟s the consumer who pays…” The。
