Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 35.

What are the best careers for the future? How will everything change? Is it possible to prepare for the
jobs of tomorrow—today? Many of us would love to have definitive answers for these questions. But, of
course, nobody can say for sure what the future holds. The best we can do is make educated guesses based on
past and current trends. Still, even educated guesses can help us imagine some pretty astonishing possibilities.
Here's one thing we know: Change will keep happening. America and the rest of the world will
experience social, cultural, economic, environmental, and technological changes. Some of these changes can
be foreseen (such as the likely impact of climate change). But many of them can't be predicted. New
challenges may arise without any warning. And "happy accidents" may lead to positive new discoveries that
solve long-standing problems.
Predicting the best jobs for the future requires understanding that all kinds of variables will interact in
complex and surprising ways. Many of tomorrow's jobs will likely result from today's scientific and
technological advances. But most jobs of the future probably don't exist yet, and a lot of them haven't even
been imagined. In fact, according to one estimate from the World Economic Forum, almost two-thirds of
today's kindergarten students will eventually have occupations that don't currently exist.
Of course, many of today's occupations will continue to be part of the future, but they'll undergo changes
just like everything else. And many occupations will transform into something entirely new—or disappear
altogether. It's a lot to think about, let alone visualize. After all, many of us have a natural resistance to change
and uncertainty. We might feel a little too safe or comfortable with the status quo.

Question 31: Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A. Predictions about future jobs B. Comments on job trends
C. Challenges for job seekers D. Preparations for careers
Question 32: The word “them” in paragraph 3 refers to ______.
A. ways B. jobs C. advances D. variables
Question 33: The changes of all following aspects are mentioned in the passage EXCEPT_____.
A. culture B. environment C. economy D. medicine
Question 34: The words “status quo” in paragraph 4 mostly means ______.
A. chosen career B. fact C. present situation D. definitive answer

Question 35: According to the passage, the best thing to do to prepare for the careers in the future is
________.
A. experiencing challenges
B. solving long-standing problems
C. making educated guesses based on past and current trends.
D. understanding all kinds of variables
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the following questions from 36 to 42.

With the leaps and bounds being made in technology, a robotic future isn't too far out of reach,
especially given the amount of jobs ripe to be replaced by computers. For example, most people carry around
technology in their pockets that duplicates work done, or once done, by actual people. The emails and
Facebook posts people send were once mailed out and delivered to individuals. Google search has nearly
eliminated the need for encyclopedias and libraries.
While many don't notice this seemingly benign form of computerization, machines may soon be taking
over some well-known fields and jobs. A new study, titled "The Future of Susceptible Are Jobs to
Computerization?" calculated how likely individual jobs were to be filled by computers based on how often
they required clever solutions, personal interaction and negotiation. Telemarketers are most likely to be
replaced by machines, Quoctrung Bui of NPR reported. While this is no surprise given the rise of
"robocalls,"the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that as of 2014 there were 234,520 telemarketers in the
U.S.
On the other hand, mental health and substance abuse social workers only have a 0.3 percent chance of
computerization because their job requires a degree of cleverness and personal interaction computer cannot
compete with. Teachers, doctors and nurses, management and artists were also less likely to be replaced
compared to those in cleaning, maintenance, transportation and manufacturing.
In order to prepare for the potential for computerization, some colleges and universities across the
country are introducing new programs and teaching styles that will create more flexible graduates who may be
able to better navigate an increasingly automated world. Harvard's program in general education requires
students to take courses outside the realm of their programs in the hopes of broadening their education and
many other schools are taking similar approaches, Robert J. Shiller reported for The New York Times. Shiller
said the two ways to approach this issue would be to give students "general, flexible, insight-bearing human
learning" or to turn to a more business-oriented and real world teaching process that develops more
entrepreneurs. By connecting all disciplines to possible areas of entrepreneurship and business, Shiller
suggests future employees may be able to outsmart the robots.
"Perhaps we should prepare students for entrepreneurial opportunities suggested by our own
disciplines," he said. "Even departments entirely divorced from business could do this enterprises, nonprofits
and activities in which students can later use their specialized knowledge."

Question 36. What sentence is NOT true about technology in paragraph 1?

A. People can copy the work done by other people.
B. People can use technology to send mails or posts to others.
C. All jobs will be replaced by computers.
D. People have used Google search instead of encyclopedias and libraries.
Question 37: The word “their” in paragraph 1 refers to _____?
A. jobs B. computers C. people D. duplicates
Question 38. What is the job or field likely taken over by machines in paragraph 2?
A. telemarketing B. computerization C. interaction D. negotiation
Question 39. What is the reason why computers have little chance to replace mental health and substance
abuse social workers?
A. Because computers do not have degrees required like people.
B. Because computers are not as clever and interactive as people are.
C. Because computers are cleverer and more interactive than people are.
D. Because computers are likely replaced the jobs like cleaning, maintenance, transportation and
manufacturing.
Question 40. The word "navigate" in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to
A. control B. orient C. direct D.
manage
Question 41. What does the paragraph 4 mainly discuss?
A. The new programs and teaching styles. B. Two ways to broaden students' education.
C. The preparation for computerization. D. The disciplines of entrepreneurship and
business.

A. gathered B. divided C. equipped D. separated
