问题     Hardly a week goes by without some advance in technology that would have seemed incredible 50 years ago. And we can expect the rate of change to accelerate rather than slow down within our lifetime. The developments in technology are bound to have a dramatic effect on the future work. By 2020, new technology will have revolutionized communications. People will be transmitting more messages down telephone lines that previously have been sent by post. Not only postmen but also clerks and secretaries will vanish in a paper-free society. All the routine tasks they perform will be carried on a tiny silicon chip so that they will be as obsolete (已废弃的) as the horse and cart after the invention of the motor car. One change will make thousands, if not millions, redundant.
    Even people in traditional professions, where expert knowledge has been the key, are unlikely to escape the effects of new technology. Instead of going to a solicitor, you might go to a computer which is programmed with all the most up-to-date legal information. Doctors, too, will find that an electronic competitor will be able to carry out a much quicker and more accurate diagnosis and recommend more efficient courses of treatment. In education, teachers will be largely replaced by teaching machines far more knowledgeable than any human being. Most learning will take place in the home via video conferencing. Children will still go to school though, until another place is created where they can make friends and develop social skills.
In the writer’s view,______.
选项 A、people should get prepared for the future
B、there exists no real threat of unemployment
C、the advance of technology is not desirable
D、machines will have control over men
答案A
解析 观点态度题。作者举出了大量实例暗示和告诫人们：正因为人类技术的发展日新月异。许多职业的存在都将受到威胁，人们应该采取积极态度以应对这种变化。选项B显然与第1段最后一句相悖；选项C无合理的推断依据；文中虽提到新技术会在多方面影响人类，但并不能由此推断机器会控制人类，所以选项D不对。
