问题     In what now seems like the prehistoric times of computer history, the earth’s postwar era, there was quite a wide-spread 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 but 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 (失误).
    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.
    Questioning 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 warning: for all the help this computer may provide, it should not be seen as a substitute for fundamental thinking and reasoning skills.
The passage suggests that the present-day problem with regard to computers is______.
选项 A、challenging
B、psychological
C、dramatic
D、fundamental
答案B
解析 本题是一道暗示引申类问题。问文章暗示目前有关计算机的问题是哪一方面的问题。根据文章相关信息：人们往往过分信赖计算机，也不愿意挑战它的权威性。他们似乎并不知道人们也可能会按错键，或者计算机也可能有运行错误。以及如下一句话：人们也应该信赖自己的大脑的计算能力，一旦感觉计算机有错，就要进行复查。由此，我们判断出这里暗示出当前的问题是人们对计算机有过分依赖的心理。因此本题的正确答案是B“目前有关计算机的问题是心理上的问题”。
