How Much do You Know About Modern Inventions?
Modern inventions have speeded up people’ s lives amazingly. Motor-cars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour, aircrafts cross the world inside a day, while computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. Every year motor-cars are produced which go even faster and each new computer boasts(吹嘘) of saving precious seconds in handling tasks.
All this saves time, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel that they have been left behind on another time zone. Again, spending too long at computers results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers, according to some scientist ; too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains, a consequence we do not like to think about.
However, what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world.
There was a time when some people’ s lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestor faced: they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modern machinery has freed people from that primitive existence.
The new products become more and more time-saving because______.
选项
A、our love of speed seems never-ending
B、time is limited
C、the prices are increasingly high
D、the manufactures boast a lot
答案
A
解析
文章一开头就提到现代发明加速了人们的生活。换句话说就是现代发明令人们做事情越来越省时。文章第一段第一句作为结果加以叙述,第二句进行举例说明,再陈述其原因:Indeed,this love of speed seems never-ending。因此可知正确答案为A。
