Much unfriendly feeling towards computers has been based on the fear of widespread unemployment resulting from their introduction. Computers are often used as part of automated (自动化的) production systems requiring a least possible number of operators, causing the loss of many jobs. This has happened, for example, in many steelworks.
On the other hand, computers do create jobs. They are more skilled and better paid, though fewer in number than those they replace. Many activities could not continue in their present form without computers, no matter how many people are employed. Examples are the check clearing(交换) system of major banks and the weather forecasting system.
When a firm introduces computers, a few people are usually employed in key posts (such as jobs of operations managers) while other staff are re-trained as operators, programmers, and data preparation staff. After the new system has settled down, people in non-computer jobs are not always replaced when they leave, resulting in a decrease in the number of employees. This decrease is sometimes balanced by a substantial increase in the activity of the trim, resulting from the introduction of computers.
The attitudes of workers towards computers vary. There is fear of widespread unemployment and of the takeover of many jobs by computer-trained workers, making promotion for older workers not skilled in computers more difficult.
On the other hand, many workers regard the trend toward wider use of computers inevitable. They realize that computers bring about greater efficiency and productivity, which will improve the condition of the whole economy, and lead to the creation of more jobs. This view was supported by the former British Prime Minister, James Callaghan in 1979, when he made the point that new technologies hold the key to increased productivity, which will benefit the economy in the long run. [br] According to the passage, what results from the introduction of computers?
选项
A、After re-training, all employees in the firm get new jobs.
B、A considerable proportion of people are employed in key posts.
C、The firm keeps all of its original staff members.
D、The decrease in staff members may be balanced by the increase of firm activities.
答案
D
解析
事实细节题。A项中的“all”,过于绝对,同时根据第三段第一句可判断A错。B项也与第三段第一句中的“…a few people…employed in key posts…”文意相反。C项与文意不符,文章中说有很多人会失业。根据文章第三段最后一句话“这个减少有时会被公司里其他由于计算机的引进而显著增加的活动所平衡掉。”与D项意思相符,故选D。
