问题    The robots are coming. The second decades of the 21th century will see the rise of merchandized army that will revolutionize the private and public life as radically as the internet and social media have shaken up the past ten years. Or so says Marina Gorbis, futurologist and head of Califor-nian think-tank the Institute for the Future (IFTF).
   Gorbis says robots will increasingly dominate everything. Robots are likely to prompt a political storm to equal the row over immigration as they increasingly replace workers. But it’ s not bad news."When the IBM’s Deep Blue became the first computer to beat the chess grand master Gary Kasparov, as a person that’s it, computers are smarter than people," she says."But it doesn’t mean that at all. It seems they are processing things faster not that they are thinking better." Working together she believes robots and humans will be able to create a world of new possibilities impossible before our new industrial revolution.
   Inevitably the rise of the robots will put people out of work. Gorbis believes that this and other trend will mean unemployment will remain around 10% in many parts of the developed world of the coming year.
   We are in the transition. It is similar to when we mechanized agriculture. After that we went through a period of high unemployment as people transitioned to new kinds of jobs. People learn to do other things.
   Robots get a bad press. With a few cute exceptions the robot has been an evil character in movies going back to Fritz Lang’s Metropolis in 1927. In Japan and Korea, where many of the great robot innovators are likely to come from, attitudes are more positive.
   We too are likely to become more robotic, Gorbis believes. "We have been modifying ourselves with technology forever. We are going to see more of that. Sensors are going to on our bodies, in our bodies letting us and others know what we are doing, what is going on with our health. All kinds of applications we haven’t even thought of yet. But "with all information being bombarded at us it so no wonders that people worry," she said. "I feel paradoxical myself. Half time I feel really depressed when I look at say climate changed or the potential to misuse technology." So the technology needs an easy access to the right guide of humans.
Gorbis feels paradoxical herself because______.
选项 A、humans may be replaced by the computers or robots
B、technology will make people reliable on robots
C、the indiscriminate use of technology may cause some disasters
D、human will provide right direction for robots’ future
答案C
解析 根据题干关键词定位到文章最后一段。该段指出，Gorbis说她感觉自己有些矛盾，因为科技的发展也确实造成了某种程度上的破坏。所以机械的发展还是需要人类的正确引导。因此，C项“技术的滥用可能会造成一些灾难”是其自我矛盾的原因，符合题意。A项“人类可能被电脑或机器人取代”和B项“科技会让人依赖机器人”都不符合题意。D项“人类将为机器人的未来提供正确的方向”虽然表述与原文一致，但并非Gorbis矛盾的原因，故选C。
