《考研英语阅读命题思路透析和真题揭秘》1993年Passage 2(2)

印建坤 群言出版社/2008-10-04

  Am I suggesting that we should return to the preindustrial mode of production or to nineteenth-century "free enterprise" capitalism? Certainly not. Problems are never solved by returning to a stage which one has already outgrown. I suggest transforming our social system from a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal production and consumption are ends in themselves into a humanist industrialism in which man and full development of his potentialities-those of love and of reason-are the aims of all social arrangements. Production and consumption should serve only as means to this end, and should be prevented from ruling man.

  40. The author’s attitude towards industrialism might best be summarized as one of __

  [A] approval

  [B] dissatisfaction

  [C] suspicion

  [D] tolerance

  [答案] B

  [解题思路]

  纵观全文,其主要基调就是表达了对目前这个工业化体制的不满,人在其中失去了个性和独立性。其中,文章第一段最后一句指出“In fact, the blue-and the white-collar workers have become economic puppets who dance to the tune of automated machines and bureaucratic management”(事实上,蓝领和白领工人已经成了伴随自动化机器和官僚主义管理方式的节奏翩翩起舞的经济玩偶)。最后一段第二句话进一步指出“I suggest transforming our social system from a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal production and consumption are ends in themselves into a humanist industrialism in which man and full development of his potentialities-those of love and of reason-are the aims of all social arrangements”(我建议把我们的社会制度从以最大限度生产和最大限度消费为目的的官僚主义管理工业体制变成一个充分发挥人的潜能——如爱和理性的潜能——为目的的人道主义工业体制),要求改变这个社会体制,作者的不满情绪也是显而易见的。

  [题目译文]
