Successful innovations have driven many older technologies to extinction and have resulted in higher productivity, greater consumption of energy and increased demand for raw materials, accelerated flow of materials through the economy and increased quantities of metals and other substances in use each person. The history of industrial development abounds with examples.
In 1870, horses and mules were prime sources of power on U. S. farms. One horse or mule was required to support four human beings—a ratio that remained almost constant for many decades. At that time, had a national commission been asked to forecast the horse and mule population for 1970, its answer probably would have depended on whether its consultants were of an economic or technological turn of mind. Had they been "economists" , they would probably have projected the 1970 horse or mule population to be more than 50 million. Had they been "technologists" , they would have recognized that the power of steam had already been used in industry and land and ocean transport. They would have recognized further that it would be the prime source of power on farm. It would have been difficult for them to avoid the conclusion that the horse and mule population would decline rapidly.
What is the author’s attitude toward changes brought on by technological innovations?
选项
A、He is excited about them.
B、He accepts them as natural.
C、He is disturbed by them.
D、He questions their usefulness.
答案
B
解析
可用排除法。C和D首先排除,跟文章意思相冲突。A跟B相比,明显B正确,因为在文章中未表现出作者明显的激动之情,作者只是很平和地接受了科技的力量。
