问题              Before Gibson, popular discourse surrounding the Information Age often
       depicted the current era as one in which advanced technologies liberate the
       worker from the burden of material labor, yet despite their claims for a radical
Line    break with the past, such representations both draw upon, and reinforce,
(5)     traditional Western conceptions of the autonomous laborer as an active, organic
       subject distinct from the passive inorganic machine. In contrast, Gibson’s
       characters struggle to comprehend how bodies themselves are marked by
       historical and material circumstances, and by extending their epistemological
       systems to process their technological markings, such characters are able to
(10)    forge limited alliances with one another and retain their agency without
       disappearing into-or fleeing from-this brave new world. Unfortunately,
       Gibson does not wholeheartedly champion these alternative models of labor and
       agency over their dominant counterparts-they are maintained at only great
       physical and social cost-but the Neuromancer trilogy takes an important step
(15)    toward revealing the limits of our traditional conceptions of the laboring body. [br] The passage is primarily concerned with doing which of the following?
选项 A、Lauding Gibson’s achievement in recognizing the usefulness of traditional Western values toward technology
B、Advocating Gibson’s work as an example of an unorthodox and useful view of the body’s relationship to labor
C、Criticizing Gibson’s lack of reliance on alternative models of labor
D、Advancing a thesis concerning the limitations of traditional conceptions of the laboring body
E、Explaining, on the level of craft, how Gibson’s work varies from that of his peers
答案 B
解析
