问题     In what now seems like the prehistoric times of computer history, the early postwar era, there was a quite widespread concern that computers would take over the world from man one day. Already today, less than forty years later, as computers are relieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in business and in our personal lives, we are faced with a less dramatic hut also less foreseen problem. People tend to be over-trusting of computers and are reluctant to challenge their authority. Indeed, they behave as if they were hardly aware that wrong buttons may be pushed, or that a computer may simply malfunction.
    Obviously, there would be no point in investing in a computer if you had to check all its answers, but people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone wrong. Questions and routine double checks must continue to be as much a part of good business as they were in pre-computer days. Maybe each computer should come with the following warning: for all help this computer may provide, it should not be seen as a substitute for fundamental thinking and reasoning skills.
According to the passage, initial concerns about computers were that they might
选项 A、lead us into the post-war era
B、be quite widespread
C、take control
D、take over routine tasks
答案C
解析 本题为细节推理题，提问的是人们对计算机最初的担心是什么。第一段第一句话“．．．，there was a quite widespread concern that computers would take over the world fromman one day．”的意思为“人们普遍担心，有朝一日计算机会从人类手中接管整个世界”，所以选项C)符合题意，应为正确答案。
