高中英语真题:2014高考英语阅读理解、完形填空类训练(11)及答案阅读理解Technology has been an encouragement of historical ch ange. It acted as such a force in England heginning in the eight eenth century, and across the entire Western World in the ninet eenth. Rapid advances were made in the use of scientific findin gs in the manufacture (制造)of goods, which hanged ide as about work. Onc of the first c hanges was that other forms of energy have taken the place of human power. Along with this came the increased use of mach ines to manufacture products in less time. People also develop ed machines that could produce the same parts for a product: e ach nail was exactly like every other nail. meaning that each nai l could be changed for every other nail. This means that goods could be mass production, ahhough mass production required b reaking production down into smaller and smaller tasks.Oncc this was done, workers no longer started on the produ ct and lahored to complete it. Instead, they might work only one thousandth of it, other workers completing their own parls in ce rtain order.There is nothing strange about this manufacturing work by toda y's standards. Highly skilled workers were unable to com pare with the new produciion techniques, as mass production allowe d goods of high standard to be produced in greater num- ber th an could ever be done by hand. But the skilled workers wasn't t he only loser, thc common workers lost too. Similar changes fo rced fanners a way. The increased mechanization (械化) of agriculture freed masses of workers from ploughing the la nd and harvesting its crops. They had little choice but to stream toward the rapidly developing industrial centers. Increasingly, standards were set by machines. Workers no longer owned thei r own tools, their skill was no longer valued, and pride in their w ork was no longer possible. Workers fed, looked after and repa ired the machines that could work faster than humans at greatly reduced cost.1. In this passage, which of the following is NOT considered asa change caused by tile use of scientific findings in the producti on of goods?A. Other forms of energy have taken the place of human pow er.B. The increased exploitation of workers in the 19th century.C. The increased use of machines to make products in less ti me.D. The use of machines producing parts of the same stand ar d.答案:B 指导:由文中第一段可知。
