With economy being so unstable nowadays and job security being something of the past, many individuals getting ready to enter into the career world are wondering what the best careers will be in the near future. The key to finding a career path that will continue to be profitable is doing your research and determining which careers will continue to grow, which careers are not in danger of being taken over by computers and which careers will always require the human hands. The first category of careers that will continue to be in demand are healthcare careers. Although technology will continue to improve testing capabilities, there is no way for technology to take over the jobs of the many healthcare professionals required to keep a hospital running successfully. Therefore, for anyone who is comfortable with such a career as nursing, this is a great career path to follow. The next popular career path that will not diminish (缩减) anytime in the near future is in educational institutions. It is true that many college courses are being taught online these days but even then a real person is needed to move the class along. In regular classrooms all around the world technology is being used to supplement the traditional textbook learning but a teacher will always be needed to teach students how to make use of such tools. Food service careers are also a career category that will continue to be popular in the future. Technology may be able to improve the way we prepare and cook food but there will always have to be an actual person behind that technology making everything run smoothly and there will always have to be someone to serve food as well. Choosing a career for the future when nobody really knows what the future holds can be very scary (可怕的). Research a variety of careers in order to find one that's right for you but that won't be obsolete (过时的) in a few years and you will be thankful down the road .1.

题目解答

答案

1、答案：D2、答案：A3、答案：C4、答案：D5、答案：C

解析

考查要点：

  1. 词汇理解：短语“something of the past”的含义推断。
  2. 主旨概括：文章对职业选择的建议方向。
  3. 细节判断：作者对在线教育、技术作用等现象的具体态度。
  4. 逻辑推理：根据上下文推断词语含义。

解题核心：

  • 联系上下文：通过段落主题句和关键词（如“continue to grow”“always require the human hands”）锁定答案。
  • 对比选项：注意选项中绝对化表述（如“not in danger”“always”）与原文的一致性。

第1题

关键句：首段首句“job security being something of the past”引出主题，后文提到“many individuals...wondering what the best careers will be”，暗示当前就业不稳定。
推断逻辑：

  • “something of the past”表示“已成为过去的事”，结合“job security”可知，过去稳定的就业环境不再，失业风险增加。
  • 排除干扰项：选项D“失业可能性增加”最符合语境。

第2题

关键句：首段末句“the key to finding a career path that will continue to be profitable is doing your research and determining which careers will continue to grow”。
核心思路：作者建议选择持续增长且不易被技术取代的职业，而非单纯依赖技术或特定职业（如仅选医疗）。

第3题

关键句：第2段“many college courses are being taught online...but even then a real person is needed”。
态度判断：作者承认在线教育存在，但强调“真人教师仍必不可少”，故选C。

第4题

关键句：第3段“Technology may be able to improve...but there will always have to be an actual person behind that technology”。
对比选项：D选项“技术有益但无法取代专业人士”与原文一致，其他选项片面强调技术能力。

第5题

上下文：“down the road”前文为“Choosing a career...down the road”，指“未来回顾时会庆幸”，故选C“in the future”。
