1 Human beings have used tools for a very long time. In some parts of the world you can still find tools that people used more than two million years ago. They made these tools by hitting one stone against another. In this way they broke off pieces from one of the stones. These chips of stone were usually sharp on one side. People used them for cutting meat and skin from dead animals, and also for making other tools out of wood. Human beings needed to use tools because they did not have sharp teeth like other meat-eating animals, such as lions and tigers. Tools helped people to get food more easily.
2 Working with tools also helped to develop human intelligence. The human brain grew bigger, and human beings began to invent more and more tools and machines. The stone chip was one of the first tools that people used, and perhaps it is the most important. Some scientists say that it was the key to the success of mankind.
3 Since 1960 a new kind of tool has appeared. This is the silicon chip - a litle chip of silicon crystal (硅晶体). It is smaller than a finger-nail, but it can store more than a million ’bits’ of information. It is an electronic brain.
4 Every year these chips get cleverer, but their size gets smaller, and their cost gets less. They are used in watches, calculators and intelligent machines that we can use in many ways.
5 In the future we will not need to work with tools in the old way. Machines will do everything for us. They will even talk and play games with us. People will have plenty of spare time. But what will they do with it?
6 Human beings used stone chips for more than two million years, but human life changed very little in that time. We have used silicon chips for only a few years, but life is changing faster every day. What will life be like twenty years from now? What will the world be like two million years from now? [br] The stone chip is thought to be the most important tool because it______.
选项
A、was one of the first tools.
B、developed human capabilities.
C、led to the invention of machines.
D、was crucial to the development of mankind.
答案
D
解析
此题为细节理解题。据第2段第3、4句,我们知道,石头碎片(stone chip)是人类最早使用的工具之一,而且也许是最重要的工具,之所以如此,是因为(如同一些科学家所言)它在人类的成功发展史上起了关键作用,故选D。注意第2段第3句中两个分句之间的关系是并列关系,故A不妥。B与C明显与原文不符。
