问题     In what now seems like the prehistoric times of computer history, the earth’s postwar era, there was quite a wide-spread concern that computers would take over the world from man one day. Already today, less than forty years later, as computers are relieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in business and in our personal lives, we are faced with a less dramatic but also less foreseen problem. People tend to be over-trusting of computers and are reluctant to challenge their authority. Indeed, they behave as if they were hardly aware that wrong buttons may be pushed, or that a computer may simply malfunction.
    Obviously, there would be no point in investing in a computer if you had to check all its answers, but people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone wrong.
    Questioning and routine double-checks must continue to be as much a part of good business as they were in pre-computer days. Maybe each computer should come with the warning: For all the help this computer may provide, it should not be seen as a substitute for fundamental thinking and reasoning skills.
The passage suggests that the present day problem with regard to computers is_________
选项 A、challenging
B、dramatic
C、psychological
D、fundamental
答案C
解析 根据第一段“People tend to be over-trusting of computers and are reluctant to challenge their authority．Indeed，they behave as if they were hardly aware that wrong buttons may be pushed，or that a computer may simply malfunction．”可知，人们往往过分地信赖计算机而不愿挑战它的权威性。他们的行为就像没有意识到可能会按到错误的按键，或者计算机也会运行错误。这里暗示当前的问题是人们对计算机有过分的依赖心理，故选C。
