  What has thetelephone done to us, or for us, in the hundred years of its existence? A feweffects suggest themselves at once. It has saved lives by getting rapid word ofillness, injury, or fire from remote places. By joining with the elevator tomake possible the multi-story residence or office building, it has madepossible for better or worse -- the modem city. By bringing about a great leapin the speed and ease with which information moves from place to place, it hasgreatly accelerated the rate of scientific and technological changes and growthin industry. Beyond doubt it has seriously weakened if not killed the ancientart of letter writing. It has made living alone possible for persons withnormal social impulses ; by so doing, it has played a role in one of thegreatest social changes of this century, the breakup of the multi-generationalhousehold. It has made the war chillingly more efficient than formerly.Perhaps, though not provably, it has prevented wars that might have arisen outof intemational misunderstanding caused by written communication. Or perhaps―again not provably―by magnifying and extendingirrational personal conflicts based on voice contact, it has caused wars.Certainly it has extended the scope of human conflicts, since it impartially disseminates the useful knowledge of scientists andthe nonsense of the ignorant, the affection of the affectionate and the malice of the malicious.

  1.D 本文主要讲了电话的发展对人类生活与活动所产生的正负两方面的影响。

  2.C 本题问及电话的作用。A项与原文意思相反,B、D两项虽然在文中提及,但仅仅是作者的猜测,还无法得到证实。

  3.B 本题问电话加深人们冲突的原因是什么。设题区在本文后半部分。真正的原因是,作为一种通讯工具,电话既可服务于好人,也可为坏人所利用,这样才使人们之间的冲突的加深成为可能。C项并不是加深冲突的真正原因,因为电话的便捷虽然使加深冲突有可能,但同时也为救人性命提供了便利。

  4.C 答案依据在本文最后一句。该句的大意是,电话不偏不倚地传播着科学家的学问,无知者的胡言,仁者的善心,坏人的恶意。只有C项与原文意思最贴近。

  5.D 作者的态度显然是客观而中立的。因为作者在文中对电话给人类带来的利弊都有所陈述。
