It will only slow the global economy and hurt American exports, shrinking the U. S. economy and accelerating job loss. 可知作者認為關閉對外貿(mào)易并不能讓工作機會回歸，只會減緩全球經(jīng)濟發(fā)展并傷害美國的出口。由此可見作者支持對外貿(mào)易。故A項正確。 （5）推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章前兩段可知技術進步讓公司使用更多的機器人，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) that has some businesses moving toward parttime, ondemand employment. 可知零工經(jīng)濟時代很快就會到來。故D項正確。 【點評】考查閱讀理解。本文詞義猜測題和推理判斷題兩種常考題型，詞義猜測題要注意理解劃線詞匯所在語境需要表達的意思；推理判斷題需要聯(lián)系上下文，推斷出需要的信息。8．閱讀理解 Prezi Pro users!

However sometimes they cannot take the course they want to take due to different reasons like schedule conflicts. Take me for example. At the end of last semester(學期), my adviser told me the two classes I had chosen for this semester took place during the same period, which meant that I had to give up one of them. She remended that I take the course called life management. I had never heard of that kind of course in China so I just followed her advice. On the first day of school, I found out that life management is an open class and every student is able to take the course. The teacher of the class told us honestly that this is an easy course that can increase our average score. It was really different from what I had expected. So I planned to drop the class. Then came the question: Could I change the class? In fact, students are able to change classes within the first month of the semester. During that month, there39。s often a long queue at the office door and a lot of students want to switch courses. After the first week, I looked through courses that were available for me. I had two choices: biology
