In Forces of Production, David Noble examines the transformation of the machine-tool industry as the industry moved from reliance on skilled artisans to automation. Noble writes from a Marxist perspective, and his central argument is that management, in its decisions to automate, conspired against labor: the power that the skilled machinists wielded in the industry was intolerable to management. Noble fails to substantiate this claim, although his argument is impressive when he applies the Marxist concept of "de-skilling"-the use of technology to replace skilled labor--to the automation of the ma chine-tool industry. In automating, the industry moved to computer-based, digitalized "numerical-control" (N/C) technology, rather than to artisan-generated "record-playback" (R/P) technology.
Although both systems reduced reliance on skilled labor, Noble clearly prefers R/P, with its inherent acknowledgement of workers’ skills: unlike N/C, its programs were produced not by engineers at their computers, but by skilled machinists, who recorded their own movements to "teach" machines to duplicate those movements. However, Noble’s only evidence of conspiracy is that, although the two approaches were roughly equal in technical merit, management chose N/C. From this he concludes that automation is undertaken not because efficiency demands it or scientific advances allow it, but because it is a tool in the ceaseless war of capitalists against labor. [br] Which of the following phrases most clearly reveals the attitude of the author of the passage toward Noble’s central argument?
选项
A、conspired against (line 3)
B、intolerable to management (line 4)
C、impressive when he applies the Marxist concept (line 5)
D、only evidence of conspiracy(line 12)
答案
D
解析
态度评价题。哪一个说法显示了作者对Noble的态度? 先推论:作者对Noble的态度,应该是负面为主,所以D正确。“惟一的阴谋证据”,这一“惟一”证据在作者叙述中含有嘲讽式语调,符合我们对其基本态度的总结。A、B都是Noble的主张和态度。C.impressive确为作者所说,但不是主态度。
