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 (失误).
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.
According to the passage, the initial concern about computers was that they might______.
选项
A、change our personal lives
B、take control of the world
C、create unforeseen problems
D、affect our businesses
答案
B
解析
本题是一道具体细节题,考查考生辨认具体事实的能力。本题问按照文章所说,人们对计算机最初的担心是什么。利用查阅式阅读法,我们可以在文章的第一句话中找到相关信息。第一句话指出,现在看来似乎是计算机历史的史前时期,即世界大战之后的年代里,人们普遍担忧有朝一日计算机会从人类手中夺过对世界的控制权。因此,我们可以断定题干中的the initial concern(初时的担忧)指的就是那时人们的担忧。所以,本题的正确答案应是B“人们担心计算机将来会统治世界”。
