问题     Some problems can be readily identified simply by looking around. These problems concern the pollution of our environment by technology as a result of sudden upsets in the physical, economic and social balance. The most obvious of these are the general pollution of our physical environment and the destruction of irreplaceable natural resources. Not so obvious as these, but just as painfully significant to some, are the disappearing and changing of jobs which overnight often create large groups of jobless citizens.
    Can technology be used to undo what it has done, replace what it has destroyed or substitute for what it has caused to disappear? No one knows. Many wonder whether or not all of the sources of pollution have yet been identified, whether or not they are being arrested and whether or not they will be prevented from recurring.
    Another set of problems relates to what technological advancement has done to the quality of life. An improved social life has not been unfortunately, either the goal or the chief beneficiary of technological change. Rather, any improvements that have occurred have been more accidental than intended. Too much has happened too fast. The changes demanded of marriage and family relationships remain largely unexamined. It is often a matter of "put up or shut up", and a person has to adapt his life-style to ever-changing conditions with little time for choice. The "no-move-no-advancement" type is an example of one such problem. Many people are coming to think that the reward is simply not worthy of the struggle, and they are taking jobs with less responsibility and lower pay.
It can be concluded from the third paragraph that technological advancement has resulted in quick living pace which______.
选项 A、is harmful to society
B、is socially rewarding
C、leads to further improvements
D、characterizes modern society
答案A
解析 作者在第三自然段中指出：“Too much has happened too fast．”，意思是太多的事情发展得太快了，因此会导致如下的后果：“The changes demanded of marriage and family relationships remain largely unexamined…，and a person has to adapt his life-style to ever-changing conditions with little time for choice．”。在本段的末句作者还指出：许多人开始发现，所得到的回报远不值得他们去奋斗。因此，他们对工作开始采取消极的态度。因而从整体来讲，这种快节奏的生活并不利于社会的发展，故A为正确答案。
