It will only slow the global economy and hurt American exports, shrinking the U. S. economy and accelerating job loss. 可知作者認(rèn)為關(guān)閉對(duì)外貿(mào)易并不能讓工作機(jī)會(huì)回歸，只會(huì)減緩全球經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展并傷害美國的出口。由此可見作者支持對(duì)外貿(mào)易。故A項(xiàng)正確。 （5）推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章前兩段可知技術(shù)進(jìn)步讓公司使用更多的機(jī)器人，不再需要很多全職工人。再根據(jù)第四段第一句And then there is the Gig Economy (零工經(jīng)濟(jì)) that has some businesses moving toward parttime, ondemand employment. 可知零工經(jīng)濟(jì)時(shí)代很快就會(huì)到來。故D項(xiàng)正確。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】考查閱讀理解。本文詞義猜測題和推理判斷題兩種?？碱}型，詞義猜測題要注意理解劃線詞匯所在語境需要表達(dá)的意思；推理判斷題需要聯(lián)系上下文，推斷出需要的信息。9．閱讀理解 There is good news for students of vocational(職業(yè)的) colleges in China: The government has announced plans to develop modern vocational education. In the Government Work Report delivered to the National People39。s Congress on March 5, Premier Li Keqiang spoke of the need to accelerate the development of modern vocational education to ease the pressure in the job market and meet the demand for skilled workers and technicians. It is noteworthy that Li said that enrollment(招生) in higher vocational colleges in China should increase by 1 million this year, the first time the central authority has set a clear target. This es after the news of the large shortfall(不足) in highlevel technicians, despite the fact that China has millions of technical workers, according to China Daily. China is expected to face a shortage of 3 million skilled workers who are able to operate robot and highend numerical(數(shù)字的) control machines by 2020, according to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The shortfall will grow to million by 2025. In addition, vocational education is at present unsatisfactory, although there39。re many vocational colleges in China. In some vocational schools, the education methods and curriculum are not able to meet the demand of upgrading manufacturing(制造業(yè)升級(jí)), Xing Hui, director of the Vocational Education Center of the National Academy of Education Administration, told Xinhua News Agency. As can be seen from job markets, panies still can39。t recruit qualified technicians even with high salaries. Some foreign countries have set a good example with respect to vocational education. For example, Germany has a dual(雙重的) system in its vocational education. Teaching content and methods are determined by industries and training schools to reflect current industrial practice, reported China Daily. The system requires that students should be trained at both the school and the pany, with pany training as the main focus. In Switzerland, the apprenticeship(學(xué)徒制) system is popular. Two thirds of Swiss students start vocational education after finishing middle school, reported The Telegraph. Many have academic and vocational training at the same time. They work as apprentices in a pany for three or four days a week and study in school for the rest of the time. The experience of these countries shows vocational schools can cooperate with employers to better prepare students for the market, according to China Daily. With the rising of the skilled workers39。 status and ine, it is believed the vocational education system in China will assume a bigger role in social and economic development, mented China Daily.（1）What can we know from the words of Li Keqiang? a.
