First of course, it is plain that in the year 2010 everyone will have at his elbow several times more mechanical energy than he has today.
Second, there will be advances in biological knowledge as far-reaching as those that have been made in physics. We are only beginning to learn that we can control our biological environment as well as our physical one. Starvation has been prophesied twice to a growing world population: by Malthus about 1800, by Crookes about 1900. It was headed off the first time by taking agriculture to America and the second time by using the new fertilizers. In the year 2010 starvation will be headed off by the control of the diseases and the heredity (遗传性) of plants and animals—by shaping our own biological environment.
And third, I come back to the haunting theme of automation. The most common species in the factory today is the man who works or minds a simple machine—the operator. By the year 2010, he will be as extinct as the hand-loom weaver and the dodo. The repetitive tasks of industry will be taken over by the machines, as the heavy tasks were taken over long ago; and the mental tedium (疲劳, 沉闷) will go the way of physical exhaustion. Today we still distinguish, even among repetitive jobs, between the skilled and the unskilled, but in the year 2010 all repetition will be unskilled. We simply waste our time if we oppose this change, it is as inevitable as the year 2010 itself. [br] This article was written to______.
选项
A、warn us of impending starvation
B、present facts about life in the near future
C、oppose biological advances
D、warn of the specter of automation
答案
B
解析
本题为推断题。解答此题应从文章的主题和内容结构出发,合理地推断出作者的写作目的。文中三段内容分别论述了机械能、生物知识和自动化等三个方面在2010年会发生的变化。可见,本文的主题是关于在2010年我们的社会生活里将出现的新情况,文章的写作目的也就是要把这些情况展现给读者。因此选项B正确。其余三个选项均与本文的主题不符。
