The invention of both labor-saving tools and tools of intelligence is rarely accidental. Instead, it is usually the product of human need; (21) is truly the mother of invention. People usually devise tools to (22) for natural deficiencies. For example, people invented weapons to defend (23) from physically superior (24) . But (25) is only one incentive for inventions. People also invent (26) tools to (27) certain established tasks more efficiently.

One impetus for invention has always been the (35) for speed and high-quality results--provided they are achieved (36) reasonable costs. Stone pebbles were sufficient to account for small quantities of possessions, (37) they were not efficient enough for performing sophisticated mathematics. However, beads arranged systematically evolved into the abacus.

选项
A、as a result
B、for one reason
C、by no means
D、at any rate
答案
A
解析
本题测试短语。as a result意为“结果”;for one reason意为“因为一个原因”;by no means意为“决不”;at any rate意为“无论如何”。根据文章可知,greater work efficiency came to be demanded与工具的发展之间的关系为因果关系,前面句子为原因,后面句子为结果。所以应该选A。
