必修一 Module 1 阅读理解提速练——练速度 (限时：20分钟) A (2016·江西重点中学盟校第一次联考)Students wishing to safeguard their careers against changes in the job market should opt for science rather than arts degrees, according to a survey of undergraduates. Engineering and chemistry were considered to be the most “future proof”， as they are courses most likely to lead to an enduring and adaptable career. Students polled by Pearson College were broadly optimistic that their chosen courses would prepare them for a world in which the job market could change dramatically during their working lives. But opinion was sharply divided over which degrees were best for futureproof careers. Eightytwo percent of respondents believed engineering would help develop futureproof skills, with 74 percent believing the same of chemistry and 73 percent of computer science. But just 33 percent of undergraduates believed history would lead to a futureproof career, and 40 percent English. However more than two thirds of students (67 percent) thought the world of work would be significantly different or completely unrecognizable in 20 years. The findings, published today, come after Education Secretary Nicky Morgan sparked controversy with claims that teenagers should steer clear of the arts and humanities and opt for science or maths subjects if they want to access the widest range of jobs. |
