What has the telephone done to us, or for us, in the hundred years of its existence? A few effects suggest themselves at once. It has saved lives by getting rapid word of illness, injury, or fire from remote places. By joining with the elevator to make possible the multi-story residence or office building, it has made possible -- for better or worse -- the modern city. By bringing about a great leap in the speed and space with which information moves from place to place, it has greatly accelerated the rate of scientific and technological changes and growth in industry. Beyond doubt it has seriously weakened if not killed the ancient art of letter writing. It has made living alone possible for person with normal social impulses; by doing so it has played a role in one of the greatest social changes of this century, the breaking up of the multi-generational household. It has made the war chillingly more efficient than formerly. Perhaps though not provable (可证实), it has prevented wars that might have arisen out of international misunderstanding caused by written communication. Or perhaps--again not provable--by magnifying and extending irrational personal conflicts based on voice contact it impartially disseminates (传播) the useful knowledge of scientists and the nonsense of the ignorant, the affection of the affectionate and the malice (恶意) of the malicious.
The author describes the telephone as impartial because it ______.
选项
A、saves lives of people in remote places
B、enables people to live alone if they want to
C、spreads both love and ill will
D、replaces much written communication
答案
C
解析
结尾句“it impartially disseminates...the affection of the affectionate and the malice of the malicious”,其中affection和malice分别与love和ill will相对应。
