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 recommends those dealing with computers to______.
选项 A、be reasonably doubtful about them
B、check all their answers
C、substitute them for basic thinking
D、use them for business purposes only
答案A
解析 本题问文章建议与计算机打交道的人应该怎样做。利用查阅式阅读法，我们可以在第二段第一句话中找到与正确答案有关的内容。此句话的重点在but之后，作者指出，一旦感觉到计算机计算的结果有不对之处，就必须进行复查。由此可知，本题的正确答案应是A“建议与计算机打交道的人要对计算机持合理的怀疑态度”。
