Recent analysis indicates the U.S. education system is adapting to changing workforce needs and demands. Signals from the marketplace, coming in the form of higher pay rates for certain occupations, are motivating students to enroll in educational programs congruent with the needs of those industries. This training is expanding and improving their skills in those areas, and, by extension, their own marketability. Furthermore, the entire system is undergoing positive change including parents, educators and administrators. The changes are increasing choices and helping to mitigate equity issues, but there is still room for improvement.
As the American economy becomes a more global one, the advantage of Americans in knowledge and skill-based industries will only grow larger. Thus, the level of education of the worker will become an even greater factor in increasing productivity and spurring progress. To the individual worker, that means that his level of education will directly influence his salary. Similarly, fair income distribution will greatly depend on equity of access and participation in educational resources. Given existing social disparities, intervention may be required to assist a substantial segment of Americans.
Legislation has been passed mandating equal access to key educational and aid facilities, making it easier for those most in need of those services to obtain them. Recent laws forbid employers and educators from discriminating against various applicants or employees based on their race, age, gender or physical appearance, among other factors. Furthermore, the American civil litigation system has been doing its part as well, hearing cases involving discrimination and unequal treatment and, more often than not, deciding in favor of equality. At almost all levels, progress has been made in equalizing the disparities that exist between various social and ethnic groups in the schools and in the workplace.
However, income and racial-ethnicity problems continue to dog the system. As the structure of the economy shifts to support a larger proportion of knowledge-intensive industries, these disparities will only become more intractable. To the extent that more equitable income distribution is desirable, additional government intervention may be required.
In paragraph 4, "... income and racial-ethnicity problems continue to dog the system" means
选项
A、income and racial-ethnicity problems are being fixed
B、income and racial-ethnicity problems have not yet been solved
C、income and racial ethnicity problems are the key characteristics of the American educational system
D、income and racial-ethnicity problems are decreasing in the American educational system
答案
B
解析
属信息推断题。阅读“…income…dog the system”所在的上下文便可判断此句的意思。上文第三段最后一句指出:无论在学校,还是在工作场所里,……这项工作几乎在各个层面上都取得了进展。紧接着用了however这一表示转折的词,表明后面的内容与前文相反,下文是进一步的解释。因而,可推断出本句的大概意思:然而,在教育体系方面,工资收入问题以及种族民族问题会一直影响其进展。故选项B正确。
