问题    The robots are coming. The second decades of the 21th century will see the rise of merchandized army that will revolutionize the private and public life as radically as the internet and social media have shaken up the past ten years. Or so says Marina Gorbis, futurologist and head of Califor-nian think-tank the Institute for the Future (IFTF).
   Gorbis says robots will increasingly dominate everything. Robots are likely to prompt a political storm to equal the row over immigration as they increasingly replace workers. But it’ s not bad news."When the IBM’s Deep Blue became the first computer to beat the chess grand master Gary Kasparov, as a person that’s it, computers are smarter than people," she says."But it doesn’t mean that at all. It seems they are processing things faster not that they are thinking better." Working together she believes robots and humans will be able to create a world of new possibilities impossible before our new industrial revolution.
   Inevitably the rise of the robots will put people out of work. Gorbis believes that this and other trend will mean unemployment will remain around 10% in many parts of the developed world of the coming year.
   We are in the transition. It is similar to when we mechanized agriculture. After that we went through a period of high unemployment as people transitioned to new kinds of jobs. People learn to do other things.
   Robots get a bad press. With a few cute exceptions the robot has been an evil character in movies going back to Fritz Lang’s Metropolis in 1927. In Japan and Korea, where many of the great robot innovators are likely to come from, attitudes are more positive.
   We too are likely to become more robotic, Gorbis believes. "We have been modifying ourselves with technology forever. We are going to see more of that. Sensors are going to on our bodies, in our bodies letting us and others know what we are doing, what is going on with our health. All kinds of applications we haven’t even thought of yet. But "with all information being bombarded at us it so no wonders that people worry," she said. "I feel paradoxical myself. Half time I feel really depressed when I look at say climate changed or the potential to misuse technology." So the technology needs an easy access to the right guide of humans.
In the second paragraph, the author uses the underlined sentence to show that______.
选项 A、computers can defeat people easily
B、robots can defeat people easily
C、robots can finish some works faster than man
D、robots are more thoughtful than us
答案C
解析 根据题干关键词定位到文章第二段。划线处后面内容指出，机器人在处理信息的时候确实快于人类，但是并不意味着他们思维能力也胜人一筹。C项“机器人能比人类更快地完成某些工作”是对原文的同义替换，符合题意。A项“电脑可以轻易打败人类”、B项 “机器人可以轻易打败人类”和D项“机器人比我们更有想法”都不符合题意，故选C。
