A historian a century from now might well conclude that it was Ford who most influenced all manufacturing, everywhere, even

35、 to this day, by introducing a new way to make carsone, strange to say, that originated in slaughterhouses (屠宰场).Back in the early 1900%, slaughterhouses used what could have been called a “disassembly line“. Ford reversed this process to see if it would speed up production of a part of an automobil

36、e engine called a magneto. Rather than have each worker completely assemble a magneto, one of its elements was placed on a conveyer, and each worker, as it passed, added another component to it, the same one each time. Professor David Hounshell of the University of Delaware, an expert on industrial

37、development, tells what happened:“The previous day, workers carrying out the entire process had averaged one assembly every 20 minutes. But on that day, on the line, the assembly team averaged one every 13 minutes and 10 seconds per person.“Within a year, the time had been reduced to five minutes. I

38、n 1913, Ford went all the way. Hooked together by ropes, partially assembled vehicles were towed (拖，拉) past workers who completed them one piece at a time.

39、as this new system that he cut the price of his cars in half, to $260, putting them within reach of all those who, up until that time, could not afford them. Soon, auto makers over the world copied him. In fact, he encouraged them to do so by writing a book about all of his innovations, entitled Tod

Today, aided by robots and other forms of automation (自动化), everything from toasters to perfumes is made on assembly lines.（分数：15.00）(1).Which of the following statements about Henry Ford is NOT true?A.

44、utersThe initial impact of computers was in the area of entertainment. If you walked by a video arcade in the early 1980s, you could not have failed to notice that the use of video games was growing at what some considered an alarming rate. In 1981 the movie industry grossed $ 3 billion, video games

45、 took in an estimated $ 6 billion. That gives you some idea of just how big the computer industry had become. Video games employ the same technology as personal computers, and indeed many who bought personal computers did so primarily for playing games at home, thus saving their quarters. Though vid

46、eo games are not as popular as they were a few years age, they did provide consumer with their first real reason to buy PCs.A. more recent computer innovation, desktop publishing, supplies one good reason for those who write for a living to buy a PC.

47、ption for an extremely complex group of hardware and software tools. You can now write text, edit text, draw illustrations, incorporate photographs, design page layouts, and print a finished document with a relatively inexpensive computer and laser printer. Although the new technology offers new fre

48、edom, there is a price to be paid for this freedom. With total control comes total responsibility. In fact, the issue of social responsibility in our new computer age has long been a topic of debate among computer enthusiasts. Some people are concerned with the long-term social effects of the so-called computer revolution. Ironically, many PC. pioneers who built and marketed the first machines were 60s-style advocates of social change. They claim that while personal computer technology has the potential to make society more equal, its having the opposite effect since upper-middle-class peopl
