In some places, it has helped curb corruption, encouraged more girls to go to school and enabled citizens to monitor election violence.
But according to a report issued Wednesday by the World Bank, the vast changes wrought by technology have not expanded economic opportunities or improved access to basic public services in ways that many had expected. Rather, the report warned darkly, Internet innovations stand to widen inequalities and even hasten the hollowing out of middle-class employment.
Those who are already well-off and well-educated have been able to take advantage of the Internet economy, the report concluded pointedly, and despite the expansion of Internet access, 60 percent of humanity remains offline.
"Countries that are investing in both digital technology and its analog complements will reap significant dividends, while others are likely to fall behind" the reported added. "Technology without a strong foundation risks creating divergent economic fortunes, higher inequality and an intrusive state."
How a society takes advantage of information technology depends on what kind of a society it is, the report concluded.
Women are discouraged from going online in some countries, the report found, and across the countries of South Asia, they were far less likely to own a mobile phone. Those who are illiterate— still 20 percent of the world’s population—cannot take advantage of the Internet at all; and in the developing world, the technology industry employs barely 1 percent of the work force. In rich countries, technology employs 3 to 5 percent of the work force, still a small fraction of total employment.
According to the bank’s survey, more than half of all countries had privacy laws on the books, but only 51 of them were in the developing world.
The bank, which says it has itself invested $12.6 billion in information technology projects, calls on countries to make the Internet "universal, affordable, open and safe." Yet it also takes pains to say that expanding access will not be enough for citizens to take advantage of the benefits. It also recommends enabling companies to compete, strengthening the skills of workers so they can obtain the new jobs and making government institutions accountable.
"The triple complements—a favorable business climate, strong human capital and good governance—will sound familiar—and they should because they are the foundation of economic development," the report concluded.
According to the author, which city of the following will most likely benefit from the technology development of the Internet?
选项
A、New Delhi, because it has plenty of cheap labors.
B、Rome, because most people there can use the Internet to communicate with each other.
C、San Francisco, because its modern industry is in the front rank in the whole world.
D、Hangzhou, because it is trying to transform into a digital city.
答案
D
解析
推断题。根据题干关键词定位到文章第四段。原文中提到Countries that are investing in both digital technology and its analog complements will reap significant dividends,即“正在投资数字技术、以及与之互补的模拟技术的国家将获得显著的红利”。提炼出关键词digital可确定本题正确答案为D项。A项“新德里,因为它有大量廉价劳动力”、B项“罗马,因为那里的人都可以使用互联网和彼此交流”和C项“旧金山.因为它的工业在世界上排名前列”均与题意无关,故本题选D。
