It is 3 A. M. Everything on the university campus seems ghostlike in the quiet, misty darkness -- everything except the computer center. Here, twenty students untidy and blurred-eyed, sit transfixed at their consoles([计]挖制台), tapping away on the terminal keys. With eyes glued to the video screen, they tap on for hours. For the rest of the world, it might be the middle of the night, but here time does not exist. This is a world unto itself. These young computer "hackers" are pursuing a kind of impulse, a drive so consuming it overshadows nearly every other part of their lives and forms the focal point of their existence. They are compulsive computer programmers. Some of these students have been at the console for thirty hours or more without a break for meals or sleep. Some have fallen asleep on sofas or chairs in the computer center, trying to catch a few winks but hate to get too far away from their beloved machines.
Most of these students don’t have to be at the computer center in the middle of the night. They aren’t working on assignments. They are there because they want to be -- they are irresistibly drawn there.
And they are not alone. There are hackers at computer centers all across the country. In their extreme form, they focus on nothing else. They flunk(考试不及格)out of school and lose contact with friends; they might have difficulty finding jobs, choosing instead to wander from one computer center to another. They may even decline personal cleanliness.
"I remember one hacker. We literally had to carry him off his chair to feed him and put him to sleep. We really feared for his health," says a computer science professor at MIT.
Computer science teachers are now more aware of the implications of this hacker phenomenon and are
on the lookout for potential hackers and cases of computer addiction that are already severe. They know that the case of the hackers is not just the story of one person’s relationship with a machine. It is the story of a society’s relationship to the so-called thinking machines, which are becoming almost everywhere.
Which of the following is TRUE of those young computer "hackers" ?
选项
A、Most of them are top students majoring in computer programming.
B、For them, computer programming is the sole purpose for their life.
C、They can always stay with the computer at the center without eating and sleeping.
D、They lose all of their friends because of their deep "love" for the computer.
答案
B
解析
类似这样的题最好根据选项到文章中一一定位。the sole purpose 和 focus on nothing else同义,由此可定位到文章第三段第三句:他们很极端地不去关注其他任何事物,第一段中提到They are compulsive computer programmers,由此可知他们关注的只是编程,所以B)符合本文意思:对他们来说计算机编程是他们惟一的生活目标。由第三段第四句可知:他们考试不及格,所以他们就不会是top students,A)不对:C)always使语义绝对化;由lose all of their friends定位到第三段,但该段并没有说他们失去所有朋友,所以D)不对。
