Electronic books could revolutionize reading, but people ought to consider their far-reaching impacts as well. "The e-book promises to wreak a slow havoc (浩劫) on life as we know it," Jason Ohler, professor of technology assessment (评估), university of Alaska Southeast In Juneau, warned the World Future Society, Bethesda, Md. His assessment weighed the pros and cons (赞成和反对的理由) of e-book technology’s impact on social relationships, the environment, the economy, etc. Before you curl up (蜷曲) with an e-book, consider the disadvantages.
They increase eyestrain due to poor screen resolution, replace a relatively cheap commodity with a more expensive one, and displace workers in print book production and traditional publishing. E-books make it easy to share data, thereby threatening copyright agreements and reducing compensation of authors, as well as creating nonbiodegradable (不可生物降解的) trash.
On the other hand, e-books save paper and trees, reduce the burden of the carrying and storing of printed books, promote self-sufficiency in learning, and make reading a collaborative experience online. They also create new jobs for writers and artists and encourage self-publishing.
In final analysis, Ohler points out, e-books should gain society’s approval if a few conditions are met: make them biodegradable and recyclable, solve the problem of eye fatigue (疲劳), be sure the "have-nots" get the technology, and support e-book training in schools and business.
What does Ohler suggest regarding the use of e-books?
选项
A、The society should ensure the poor have access to the technology.
B、The society should ban the use of e-books if they cannot reduce eye fatigue.
C、The society should approve of the use of e-books if they are made recyclable.
D、The schools should solve the present problems of e-books.
答案
A
解析
此题考核对have-nots的理解。第四段提出使用电子书籍需要满足的条件,其中之一“be sure the have-nots’get the technology”的意思是“确保穷人也获得这种技术”。B项文中并没有说要禁止使用电子书籍。C项只提到一点,不全面。文中并未提及“目前学校能解决电子书的问题”,因此D不正确。
