(5)Five million jobs in the world’s leading economies could disappear over the next five years because of advances in technology.
    Developments in artificial intelligence, robotics, and biotechnology, would disturb the business world in a similar way to previous industrial revolutions, the World Economic Forum said in a report.
    Administrative and white collar office jobs are most at risk from a "fourth industrial revolution," the forum said on the eve of its annual meeting.
    It found that as many as 7.1 million jobs in the world’s richest countries could be lost. Those losses would be partially compensated by the creation of 2.1 million new opportunities in sectors such as tech, professional services and media.
    (6)Countries will have to invest in transforming their workforce if they want to keep up with the changes and avoid a worse case of "talent shortages, mass unemployment and growing inequality," said Klaus Schwab, the founder and chairman of the World Economic Forum.
    Investing in education and adult learning programs is a good place to start.
    Around 65% of children starting primary school today will end up working in jobs that don’t yet exist, and their future training is crucial, according to the report.
    (7)Insisting on more diverse workforces in terms of gender, ethnicity and age, will also be vital for companies that want to succeed in the rapidly changing world.
5. What will happen in the next five years because of technology development?
6. What does Schwab suggest countries do?
7. What should companies do to succeed in the changing world?

选项 A、Robots will take place of human workers.
B、Millions of jobs will disappear.
C、The fifth industrial revolution will happen.
D、An economic forum will be held in Swiss.

答案 B

解析 新闻开头提到,未来五年,数百万的工作将会消失(Five million jobs...could disappear),故选B。A“机器人将代替人工作”,新闻中提到机器人可能会带来一些改变,但没有提到它能完全代替人类工作。C“第五次工业革命将会发生”,新闻中只提“第四次工业革命”(fourth industrial revolution)。D“经济论坛将在瑞士举行”,新闻中虽然多次提到World Economic Forum,但该论坛不是在五年后举行。
