【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[听力原文] If you contact the customer service department of a government agency or a major U.S. company, or order something over the phone, it's likely that your call will be answered by someone with a disability, working from their home. It could be on a farm in Iowa, or a small town in the Vermont Mountains. It's one example how computer technologies is giving disabled people easier access to job market. Ed McCann is one of more than 300 disabled order entry clerks in 42 states who are working for the Internal Revenue Service, the IRS. 'The calls that come in for forms and publication orders to the IRS come to me, and I take information for processing those forms. People who call me sometimes are not really clear on what exactly they would need and I'd give them the assistance and guidance determining what they would need.' What is the news report mainly about? 新闻开篇就说电脑技术让残疾人更容易获得工作,然后举例证明这一说法。故D为正确答案。A“为Internal Revenue Service工作”、B“一项特殊的服务”和C“残疾人的日常生活”都只是和新闻相关的信息,并不是新闻的主要内容。
