Cyberspace (网络空间), data superhighways, multi media—for those who have seen the future , the linking of computers, television and telephones will change our lives for ever. Yet for all the talk of a forthcoming technological utopia (乌托邦) little attention has been given to the implications of these developments for the poor. As with all new high technology, while the West concerns itself with the "how", the question of "for whom" is put aside once again.
Economists are only now realizing the full extent to which the communications revolution has affected the world economy. Information technology allows the extension of trade across geographical and industrial boundaries, and transnational corporations take full advantage of it. Terms of trade, exchange and interest rates and money movements are more important than the production of goods. The electronic economy made possible by information technology allows the haves to increase their control on global markets—with destructive impact on the have-nots.
For them the result is instability, developing countries which rely on the production of a small range of goods for export are made to feel like small parts in the international economic machine. As "futures" (期货) are traded on computer screens, developing countries simply have less and less control of their destinies.
So what are the options for regaining control? One alternative is for developing countries to buy in the latest computers and telecommunications themselves—so-called "development communications" modernization. Yet this leads to long-term dependency and perhaps permanent constraint on developing countries’ economies.
Communications technology is generally exported from the US, Europe or Japan; the patents, skills and ability to manufacture remain in the hands of a few industrialized countries. It is also expensive, and imported products and services must therefore be bought on credit—credit usually provided by the very countries whose companies stand to gain.
Furthermore, when new technology is introduced there is often too low a level of expertise to exploit it for native development. This means that while local elites, foreign communities and subsidiaries of transnational corporations may benefit, those whose lives depend on access to the information are denied it [br] From the passage we know that the development of high technology is in the interests of
选项
A、the rich countries

C、the elite
D、the world economy
答案
A
解析
本题问从文章中我们可以了解到高科技的发展是以谁的利益为出发点的。利用浏览式阅读法通读全文,我们发现文章多处表明在高科技的不断发展过程中,贫困国家的利益未能受到重视,高科技使得富有的国家加强了对全球市场的控制,而给贫穷的国家却带来了毁灭性的影响,这给发展中国家的经济发展带来了长期的制约。总之,高科技的发展为富有的国家带来了越来越多的利益。因此,本题的正确答案应是选项A“以富国的利益为出发点的”。
