问下第36题

把文章和题目都贴出来吧

In 1988 services moved ahead of manufacturing as the main product of the United States economy. But what is meant by “services”?(提出问题) Some economists define a service as something that is produced and consumed simultaneously: for example, a haircut.(方法1) The broader, classical definition is that a service is an intangible something that cannot be touched or stored(方法2). Yet electric utilities can store energy, and computer programmers save information electronically. Thus, the classical definition is hard to sustain(负评价).

第一段，提出问题“什么是services”，并给出2种定义。

The United States government’s definition is more practical(正评价): services are the residual category that includes everything that is not agriculture or industry（方法3）. Under this definition, “services” includes activities as diverse as engineering and driving a bus. However,(转折) besides lacking a strong conceptual framework, this definition fails to recognize the distinction between service industries and service occupations. It categorizes workers based on their company’s final product rather than on the actual work the employees perform. Thus, the many service workers employed by manufactures-bookkeepers or janitors, for example-would fall under the industrial rather than the services category. Such ambiguities reveal the arbitrariness of this definition and suggest that, although practical for government purposes, it does not accurately reflect the composition of the current United States economy. (结论)

第二段，US政府的定义，并给予评价more practical, however, not accurate

34.   The passage suggests which of the following about service workers in the United States?

(A) The number of service worker may be underestimated by the definition of services used by the government.

(B) There were fewer service workers than agricultural workers before 1988.

(C) The number of service workers was almost equal to the number of workers was almost equal to the number of workers employed in manufacturing until 1988

(D) Most service workers are employed in service occupations rather than in service industries.（C）

(E) Most service workers are employed in occupations where they provide services that do not fall under the classical definition of services.

 

这里的service occupation和service industry到底是什么？？还有就是service category~~

就是说看门人那些人的工作性质是服务，但是由于他们给制造业的公司服务，在统计的时候被归类于制造业。这样导致了这些服务业类的劳动力被归类为工业，所以政府的这种统计方式不准确
