What is John Ingham’ s report about? [br] According to Harvard professor Steven Pinker, predictions about the future ______.
选项
A、may invite trouble
B、may not come true
C、will fool the public
D、do more harm than good
答案
B
解析
由题干中的Harvard professor Steven Pinker定位到文章第六段第二句:Harvard professor Steven Pinker says:“This is an invitation to look foolish,as with the predictions of domed cities and nuclear-powered vacuum cleaners that were made 50 years ago.”本题的解题关键是对话语中的an invitation to look foolish的理解,这是Steven Pinker教授所打的比喻,实际上是指题干中出现的prediction of the future,也就是说,教授认为,对未来的这些预测就像一封愚蠢的邀请函一样,说明他不相信这些预测能够实现。后面的话语中举出的两个例子——生化危机和核动力真空吸尘器——都是没有实现的预测,这更证明了教授对这些预测表示怀疑。所以正确答案为B。
