change,’”可推断，JonathanGrudin对未来的就业形势是满怀希望的。31.D文章出处题。通读全文可知，文章向我们描述了技术的发展使人们失去了很多就业机会，但是这只是一种改革，未来会有更多的就业机会出现。因此文章应该是来自于网站的科技专栏。32.C段落大意题。根据第一段，尤其是“Runnersrangefromfouryearsoldtograndparents;theirtimesrangefromAndrewBaddeley’sworldrecordof13minutes48secondsuptoanhour.”可知，本段主要讲述了公园跑步的受欢迎程度。33.B推理判断题。根据第二段“ParkrunissucceedingwhereLondon’sOlympic‘legacy（传承）’
