问题     In what now seems like the prehistoric times of computer history, the early post-war 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 facing 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 (失灵).
    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 following warning: for all the help this computer may provide, it should not be seen as a substitute for fundamental thinking and reasoning skills. [br] It can be inferred from the passage that the author would disapprove of______.
选项 A、computer science courses in high schools
B、businessmen and women who use pocket calculators
C、maintenance checks on computers
D、companies which depend entirely on computers
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。文章前面所述，作者提倡的并不是完全不信任计算机，而是不要盲目地完全依赖它。A、B、C三项都是以不同方式使用计算机，而作者并未完全否定计算机的使用，所以这三项都排除。只有D选项“完全依赖计算机”才是作者不赞成的。故选D。
