In the 16th century, Venetian and French glassmakers perfected a technique of coating glass with an alloy of silver to produce an effective mirror. Mirrors soon proliferated in public spaces and private homes, and owning a pocket or hand mirrors soon proliferated in status. The mirror, you might say, was an early personal technology—ingenious, portable, effective—and like all such technologies, it changed its users. By giving us, for the first time, a readily available image of ourselves that matched what others saw, it encouraged selfconsciousness and introspection and, as some worried, excesses of vanity.
By the 19th century, it was the machines of the Industrial Revolution—the power loom, the motor, the turbine—that prompted concern about the effects of technology on the person. Karl Marx argued that factory work alienated the worker from what he was toiling to produce, transforming him into "a cripple, a monster." Men were forced to become more like machines: efficient, tireless and soulless.
Today’s personal technologies, particularly the cell phone and the digital video recorder, have not provoked similar worries. They are marvels of individual choice, convenience and innovation; they represent the democratization of the power of the machine. Our technologies are more intuitive, more facile and more responsive than ever before. In a rebuke to Marx, we have not become the alienated slaves of the machine; we have made the machines more like us and in the process toppled decades of criticism about the dangerous and potentially enervating effects of our technologies. [br] Which of the following statement is true according to the text?
选项
A、Soon after being invented, mirrors became unpopular among people.
B、Mirrors were first invented by French and Vietnamese.
C、Karl Marx criticized that factory work had turned the workers into thoughtless monsters.
D、The motor is among the machines of ancient inventions.
答案
C
解析
A项违背原文,因为实际上第一段第二句话“Mirrors soon proliferated in public spaces and private homes”;B项中的Vietnamese不符合原文的Venetian;D项也是明显和文章不符,“motor”马达不是古代发明,而是现代发明。C项,马克思抨击工厂劳动使人成为没有灵魂的,隆物,是原文中第二段第二句马克思的话的总结,故选C。
