[新SAT样题5]
[. . .] Transportation planners perform critical work within the?broader field of urban and regional planning. As of 2010, there were approximately 40,300 urban and regional planners employed in the United States. The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics forecasts steady job growth in this field, projecting that 16 percent of new jobs in all occupations will be related to urban and regional planning. Population growth and concerns about environmental sustainability are expected to spur the need for transportation planning professionals.
Which choice completes the sentence with accurate data based on the above graph?
A) NO CHANGE
B) warning, however, that job growth in urban and regional ?planning will slow to 14 percent by 2020.
C) predicting that employment of urban and regional planners will ?increase 16 percent between 2010 and 2020.
D) indicating that 14 to 18 percent of urban and regional planning positions will remain unfilled.
This question asks students to analyze data displayed graphically and?to integrate that information with information presented in text — specifically, to determine which of four interpretations of the graph is accurate and to revise the passage’s wording as needed. The best answer here is choice C, as the graph establishes that the employment of urban and regional planning is expected to increase by 16 percent between 2010 and 2020. The other answer choices misstate the data in the graph in one way or another. The focus in a question such as this is not simply on understanding information in a data display, as important as that can be, but rather on demonstrating a broad command of evidence by synthesizing information and ideas expressed in two different mediums (graphics and words).
