Major companies are already in pursuit of commercial applications of the new biology.
They dream of placing enzymes in the automobile to monitor exhaust and send data on pollution to a microprocessor that will then adjust the engine. They speak of what the New York Times calls "metal-hungry microbes that might be used to mine valuable trace metals from ocean water". They have already demanded and won the right to patent new life forms.
Nervous critics, including many scientists, worry that there is corporate, national, international, and inter-scientific rivalry in the entire biotechnological field. They create images not of oil spills, but of "microbe spills" that could spread disease and destroy entire populations. The creation and accidental release of extremely poisonous microbes, however, is only one cause for alarm. Completely rational and respectable scientists are talking about possibilities that stagger the imagination.
Should we breed people with cow-like stomachs so they can digest grass and hay, thereby relieving the food problem by modifying us to eat lower down on the food chain? Should we biologically alter workers to fit the job requirement, for example, creating pilots with faster reaction times or assembly-line workers designed to do our monotonous work for us? Should we attempt to eliminate "inferior" people and breed a "super race"?( Hitler tried this, but without the genetic weaponry that may soon issue from our laboratories.) Should we produce soldiers to do our fighting? Should we use genetic forecasting to pre-eliminate unfit babies? Should we grow reserve organs for ourselves, each of us having, as it were, a "savings bank" full of spare kidney, livers, or hands?
Wild as these notions may sound every one has its advocates (and opposers) in the scientific community as well as its striking commercial application.
As two critics of genetic engineering, Jeremy Rifkin and Ted Howard, stale in their book Who Should Play Goal "Broad scale genetic engineering will probably be introduced to America much the same way as assembly lines, automobiles, vaccines, computers and all the other technologies. As each new genetic advance becomes commercially practical, a new consumer need will be exploited and a market for the new technology will be created."
According to the passage, Hitler attempted to________.
选项
A、change the pilots biologically to win the war.
B、develop genetic farming for food supply.
C、kill the people he thought of as inferior.
D、encourage the development of genetic weapons for the war.
答案
C
解析
本题为细节题,Hitler是本题的定位词,在第四段中Should we attempt to eliminate "inferior" people and breed a "super race"?(Hitler tried this. but without the genetic weaponry that may soon issue from our laboratories)这里的this指的是前面的句子:是否我们要清除劣等人们,并培育优质人种。与各选项匹配:只有C选项中有inferior/people者两个词,还有kill与eliminate是同义替换词,所以C与原文相符;因此本题选C。
