Self-driving vehicles threaten to send truck drivers to the unemployment office. Computer programs can now write journalistic accounts of sporting events and stock price movements. There are even computers that can grade essay exams with reasonable accuracy, which could revolutionize my own job. Increasingly, machines are providing not only the
brawn
but the brains, too. And that raises
the question
of where humans fit into this picture—who will prosper and who won’t in this new kind of machine economy?
Within five years we are likely to have the world’ s best education, or close to it, online and free. But not everyone will sit down and go through the material without a professor pushing them to do the work.
Your Smartphone will record data on your life and, when asked, will tell you what to do, drawing on data from your home or from your spouse and friends if need be. "You’ve thrown out that bread the last three times you’ve bought it, give it a pass" will be a text message of the future. How about "Now is not the time to start another argument with your wife"? The GPS is just the beginning of computer-guided instruction. Take your Smartphone on a date, and it might vibrate in
your pocket to indicate "Kiss her now." If you hesitate for fear of being seen as pushy, it may write: "Who cares if you look bad? You are sampling optimally in the quest for a lifetime companion."
A lot of jobs will consist of making people feel either very good or very bad about themselves. Coaches, mentors and disciplinarians will spread to many areas of life, at least for those of us who can stand to listen to them. These people will cajole us, flatter us and shame us into improving our lives, our work habits and our consumption.
Computing and software will make it easier to measure performance and productivity.
It will be harder to gloss over our failings and maintain self-deception. In essence everyone will suffer the fate of professional chess players, who will always know when they have lost a game, have an exact numerical rating for their overall performance, and find excuses for failure hard to come by.
Individuals will have many measures of their proficiency. They will have an incentive to disclose that information to get the better job or social opportunity. You’ll assume the worst about those who keep secrets, and so openness will reign. Many of us will start to hate the idea of Big Data.
What does the underlined phrase "
the question
" in Paragraph 1 refer to?
选项
A、Where do humans fit into this picture?
B、Will machines eventually replace human beings?
C、Which could revolutionize my own job, teaching at school?
D、Who will prosper and who will not in this machine economy?
答案
D
解析
指代题。第一段开头举出自动驾驶汽车、电脑撰写体育赛事和股价浮动的新闻报道、电脑判卷等例子,并指出机器不仅可以提供体力,也可以提供脑力,从而引出人类将如何适应这一局面的问题——哪些人能在这种新型的机器经济中成功、哪些人不会成功?故选D。
