问题     Hardly a week goes by without some advance in technology that would have seemed incredible 50 years ago. And we can expect the rate of change to accelerate rather than slow down within our lifetime. The developments in technology are bound to have a dramatic effect on the future work. By 2020, new technology will have revolutionized communications. People will be transmitting more messages down telephone lines that previously have been sent by post. Not only postmen but also clerks and secretaries will vanish in a paper-free society. All the routine tasks they perform will be carried on a tiny silicon chip so that they will be as obsolete (已废弃的) as the horse and cart after the invention of the motor car. One change will make thousands, if not millions, redundant.
    Even people in traditional professions, where expert knowledge has been the key, are unlikely to escape the effects of new technology. Instead of going to a solicitor, you might go to a computer which is programmed with all the most up-to-date legal information. Doctors, too, will find that an electronic competitor will be able to carry out a much quicker and more accurate diagnosis and recommend more efficient courses of treatment. In education, teachers will be largely replaced by teaching machines far more knowledgeable than any human being. Most learning will take place in the home via video conferencing. Children will still go to school though, until another place is created where they can make friends and develop social skills. [br] From the second paragraph, we can infer that______.
选项 A、professionals won’t be affected by new technology
B、doctors won’t be as efficient as computers
C、computers cannot replace lawyers
D、experts will lose job in the future
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。本题考查列举处。在第2段，作者列举了律师、医生、教师将会受到的新技术的影响，第3句指出医生的电子竞争者会做出更快更准的诊断．从而确定选项B说法正确，而选项A和C与原文不符．选项D言过其实，且缺乏合理的原文依据。
