阅读以下短文，回答第31-34题。 economy, high technology companies are still crying out for skilled workers. The Information Technology Association of America projects that more than 800,000 technology jobs will go unfilled next year. The lack of qualified workers poses a huge threat to the U.S. economy. The most commonly cited reason for this state of affairs is that the countrys agrarian-age education system, separated from the needs of the business world, fails to prepare students in the primary and secondary grades for twenty-first-century work. Yet an inadequate and outmod-ed education system is only part of the problem. A less tangible but equally powerful cause is an antique classification system that divides the workforce into two camps: white-collar knowl-edge workers and blue-collar manual laborers.Blue-collar workers emerged in the United States during the Industrial Age as work migra-ted from farms to factories. White-collar office workers became a significant class in the twenti-eth century, outnumbering their blue-collar brethren by mid-century. But the white or blue par-adigm has clearly outlived its utility. Corporations increasingly require a new layer of knowledge worker: a highly skilled multi-disciplinarian who combines the mind of the white-collar worker with the hands of the blue-collar employee. Armed with a solid grounding in mathematics and science ( physics, chemistry, and biology), these "gold- collar" workers-so named for their contributions to their companies and to the economy, as well as for their personal earning abili-ty-apply that knowledge to technology. Of course, the gold-collar worker already exists in a wide range of jobs across a wide range of businesses: think of the maintenance technician who tests and repairs aircraft systems at American Airlines; the network administrator who manages systems and network operations at P&G; the advanced-manufacturing technician at Intel.But until American business recognizes these people as a new class of worker, one whose collar is neither blue nor white, demands that schools do a better job of preparing employees for the twenty-first-century workforce will be futile. According to the passage the lack of qualified workers

阅读以下短文，回答第35-38题。 Computer programmers often remark that computing machines, with a perfect lack of dis-crimination, will do any foolish thing they are told to do. The reason for this lies, of course, in the narrow fixation of the computing machines "intelligence" on the details of its own percep- tions its inability to be guided by any large context. In a psychological description of the com-puter intelligence, three related adjectives come to mind: single-minded, literal minded, and simple-minded. Recognizing this, we should at the same time recognize that this single-mind- edness, literal-mindedness, and simple-mindedness also characterize theoretical mathematics,though to a lesser extent.Since science tries to deal with reality, even the most precise sciences normally work with more or less imperfectly understood approximations toward which scientists must maintain an ap-propriate skepticism. Thus, for instance, it may come as a shock to mathematicians to learn that the Schrodinger equation for the hydrogen atom is not a literally correct description of this atom but only an approximation to a some that more correct equation taking account of spin,magnetic dipole, and relativistic effects and that this corrected equation is itself only an imper-fect approximation to an infinite set of quantum field theoretical equations. Physicists, looking at the original Schrodinger equation, learn to sense in it the presence of many invisible terms in addition to the differential terms visible, and this sense inspires an entirely appropriate disre-gard for the purely technical features of the equation. This very healthy skepticism is foreign to the mathematical approach.Mathematics must deal with well- defined situations. Thus, mathematicians depend on an intellectual effort outside of mathematics for the crucial specification of the approximation that mathematics is to take literally. Give mathematicians a situation that is the least bit ill-defined,and they will make it well- defined, perhaps appropriately, but perhaps inappropriately. In some cases, the mathematicians' literal-mindedness may have unfortunate consequences. The mathematicians turn the scientists; theoretical assumptions, that is, their convenient points of analytical emphasis into axioms, and then take these axioms literally. This brings the danger that they may also persuade the scientists to take these axioms literally. The question, central to the scientific investigation but intensely disturbing in the mathematical context-what happens if the axioms are relaxed? -is thereby ignored.The physicist rightly dreads precise argument, since an argument that is convincing only if it is precise loses all its force if the assumptions on which it is based are slightly changed,whereas an argument that is convincing though imprecise may well be stable under small agita-tions of its underlying assumptions. The author discusses computing machines in the first paragraph primarily in order to

阅读以下短文，回答第39-42题。 At an office in Hampton, Virginia, in the east of the United States, a team of ten net-sav-vy workers scours the web for sexual content, from basic sex education to sex acts. This "quali-ty assurance" team is making sure that the blocking component of Symantecs Norton Internet Security 2000 computer program remains effective. This is because there is widespread parental concern about blocking websites with sexual content from children. Website blocking is nothing new-services like Net Nanny and programs like Cyber Patrol and Guard Dog have been around for a few years now, protecting children and reassuring par-ents that only wholesome websites are accessed by the youngsters. Net Nanny and Cyber Patrol will prevent access to any questionable sites when the program is in place. Now Symantec says it has created a new category in consumer software with a package that combines website blocking with a "firewall, protecting your computer from hackers, snoopers and viruses, as well as preventing inadvertent disclosure of personal data. In short, Norton Internet Security ( NIS), as the program is called, is designed to serve as the guardian of your digital health, keeping the bad things out and the private things in. The Symantec program can be configured in many ways, -the website blocking, for exam-ple, can be set to be either selectively permissive or total in its banning of websites, or switched off entirely. Also, Symantecs list of no-go areas, which on the CD now stand at a-round 36,000 addressed, is not confined to sex sites. The team in Virginia is also on the look-out for sites advocating drugs, or which contain references to violence or gambling, and keeps a watch on chat rooms, e-mail services, entertainment portals-even job search and financial pa-ges. These sites can be blocked by the program. Computer users can also refresh the address list online with the live update feature which is used by Norton Anti- Virus (which is bundled with NIS) to load the latest virus definitions. This service is free for the first year but, including virus definition updates, it costs $ US 19.95 a year thereafter. The system is not perfect, however. Limited testing found the blocking of some "question-able" sites was not comprehensive. Trying to get access to a well-known US site such as Play-boy results in an immediate blocking message with a standard invitation to report an "incorrectly categorized" site. By contrast, you could find in other countries such as New Zealand a sex site which declared itself to be "dedicated to providing sexual material, imaged, and any thing a little bit unusual for sex enthusiasts all over the country". We can infer from paragraph 1 that

阅读以下短文，回答第43-45题。 The decline of civility and good manners may be worrying people more than crime, accord-ing to Gentility Recalled, edited by Digby Anderson, which laments the breakdown of tradition-al codes that once regulated social conduct. It criticizes the fact that "manners" are scorned as repressive and outdated. The result, according to Mr. Anderson--director of the Social Affairs Unit, an independ-ent think-tank--is a society characterized by rudeness: loutish behavior on the streets, jostling in crowds, impolite shop assistants and bad-tempered drivers. Mr. Anderson says the cumulative effect of these- apparently trivial, but often offensive-is to make everyday life uneasy, unpredictable and unpleasant. As they are encountered far more often than crime, they can cause more anxiety than crime. The book has contributions from 12 academics in disciplines ranging from medicine to soci-ology and charts what it calls the "coarsening" of Britain. Old-fashioned terms such as "gentle-man" and "lady" have lost all meaningful resonance and need to be re-evaluated, it says. Ra-chel Trickett, honorary fellow and former principal of St. Hughs College, Oxford, says that thenotion of a "lady" protects women rather than demeaning them. Caroline Moore, the first woman fellow of Peterhouse, Cambridge, points out that "gentle-man is now used only with irony or derision. The popular view of a gentleman is poised some-where between the imbecile parasite and the villainous one: between Woostcresque chinless wonders, and those heartless capitalist toffs who are.., the stock-in- trade of television." She argues that the concept is neither class-bound nor rigid; conventions of gentlemanly behavior enable a man to act naturally as and individual within shared assumptions while taking his place in society. For Anthony OHear, professor of philosophy at the University of Bradford, manners are closely associated with the different forms of behavior appropriate to age and status. They curb both the impetuosity of youth and the bitterness of old age. Egalitarianism, he says, has led to people failing to act their age. "We have vice-chancel-lors with earrings, aristocrats as hippies.. , the trendy vicar on his motorbike." Dr Bruce Charhon, a lecturer in public health medicine in Newcastle upon Tyne, takes is-sue with the excessive informality of relations between professionals such as doctors and bank managers, and their clients. He says this has eroded the distance and respect necessary in such relationships. For Tristam Engelhardt, professor of medicine in Houston, Texas, says manners are bound to morals. "Manners express a particular set of values," he says. "Good manners interpret and transform social reality. They provide social orientation." According to the passage, the decline of good manners is more worrying because
