共用题干 The Industrial Age and EmploymentThe industrial age has been the only period of human history in which most people's work has taken the form of jobs.The industrial age may now be coming to an end,and some of the changes in work patterns which it brought about may have to be reversed.This seems a daunting（大胆的）thought. But, in fact, it could offer the prospect of a better future for work.Universal employment,as its history shows,has not meant economic freedom.Employment became widespread when the enclosures of the 17th and 18th centuries made many people dependent on paid work by depriving（剥夺）them of the use of the land,and thus of the means to provide a living for themselves.Then the factory system destroyed the cottage industries and removed work from people's homes.Later,as transport improved, first by rail and then by road, people commuted（乘车往返）longer distances to their places of employment until,eventually,many people's work lost all connection with their home lives and the places in which they lived.Meanwhile,employment put women at a disadvantage.In pre-industrial times,men and women had shared the productive work of the household and village community.Now it became customary(惯例的）for the husband to go out to paid employment, leaving the unpaid work of the home and family to his wife.Tax and benefit regulations still assume this norm today,and restrict more flexible sharing of work roles between the sexes.It was not only women whose work status suffered.As employment became the dominant form of work,young people and old people were excluded-a problem now,asmore teenagers become frustrated at school and more retired people want to live active lives. All this may now have to change.The time has certainly come to switch some efforts and resources away from the utopian（乌托邦的）goal of creating jobs for all, to the urgent practical task of helping many people to manage without full-time jobs. Improved transport enabled people to travel longer distances to their work places.A:Right B:Wrong C:Not mentioned

It is widely accepted that English is the global language of modern times. About three decades ago,French was recognized as the language of diplomacy（外交）,and German was considered the language of science and technology.English now dominates（主导）not only as the language of science but also diplomacy,computing,and tourism.Today,in terms of native speakers,Mandarin Chinese is the world′s largest language. Yet there are people who believe that China will become the most powerful country in the world.Some have?even fixed the date as early as the year 2020.At present,while English is more widely spoken than any other?language,there are more people who speak Chinese than English due to the large population in China alone.If China?does become a world power,there is no doubt that this language will spread worldwide. As the controversy over which language will become dominant in the world continues,there are many who feel?that the dominance of English is unique and irreversible（不可逆的）.However,a separate study from David Graddol′s suggests that English′s dominance in the scientific area will continue.There is also an argument that the?English language would be changed greatly by 2020 for various reasons.With the possibility of China rising as a?world power,Mandarin could definitely challenge the dominance of English as a global language.The author says that Chinese is expected to spread worldwide if__________.A.China becomes a real world power B.China has a larger population C.China has the modern technology D.more tourists come to China
