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.
Most people’ s attitude towards robots is______.
选项 A、skeptical
B、positive
C、indifferent
D、negative
答案D
解析 根据题干关键词定位到文章第五段。该段指出，机器人的名声并不好，机器人 在媒体上和影视作品中的形象都是负面的，经常受到批评……在电影中机器人一直都是邪 恶的角色。故D项“否定的”符合人们对机器人的印象。skeptical“怀疑的”、positive“积极的” 和indifferent“漠不关心的”都不是美国人对机器人的态度，故选D。
