Passage 38 (38/63)
In Forces of Production, David Noble examines the transformation of the machine-tool industry as the industry moved from reliance on skilled artisans to automation. Noble writes from a Marxist perspective, and his central argument is that management, in its decisions to automate, conspired against labor: the power that the skilled machinists wielded in the industry was intolerable to management. Noble fails to substantiate this claim, although his argument is impressive when he applies the Marxist concept of “de-skilling”—the use of technology to replace skilled labor—to the automation of the machine-tool industry. In automating, the industry moved to computer-based, digitized “numerical-control” (N/C) technology, rather than to artisan-generated “record-playback” (R/P) technology.

Although both systems reduced reliance on skilled labor, Noble clearly prefers R/P, with its inherent acknowledgment of workers’ skills: unlike N/C, its programs were produced not by engineers at their computers, but by skilled machinists, who recorded their own movements to “teach” machines to duplicate those movements. However, Noble’s only evidence of conspiracy is that, although the two approaches were roughly equal in technical merit, management chose N/C. From this he concludes that automation is undertaken not because efficiency demands it or scientific advances allow it, but because it is a tool in the ceaseless war of capitalists against labor.

5. Which of the following phrases most clearly reveals the attitude of the author of the passage toward Noble’s central argument?

(A) “conspired against” (line 6)

(B) “intolerable to management” (line 7)

(C) “impressive when he applies the Marxist concept” (line 9)

(D) “clearly prefers” (line 16)(E)

(E) “only evidence of conspiracy” (line 21)

為什麼不是C而要選E

6. The author of the passage commends Noble’s book for which of the following?(Q我觉得应该是D)

(A) Concentrating on skilled as opposed to unskilled workers in its discussion of the machine-tool industry

(B) Offering a generalization about the motives behind the machine-tool industry’s decision to automate

(C) Making an essential distinction between two kinds of technology employed in the machine-tool industry

(D) Calling into question the notion that managers conspired against labor in the automation of the machine-tool industry(E)

(E) Applying the concept of de-skilling to the machine tool industry

為什麼選E

作者對Noble的態度就是Negative的
"Noble fails to substantiate this claim.............."

雖然Nobler 討論的 頭頭是道的感覺very impressive 但他的論點不足以說服他人

所以答案一定是負面的 整個第二段也是在對Noble's argument提出批評
so C is not right


6. The author of the passage commends Noble’s book for which of the following?

(A) Concentrating on skilled as opposed to unskilled workers in its discussion of the machine-tool industry
(B) Offering a generalization about the motives behind the machine-tool industry’s decision to automate

(D) Calling into question the notion that managers conspired against labor in the automation of the machine-tool industry(E)
(E) Applying the concept of de-skilling to the machine tool industry

我覺得 E 因為de-skilling是Noble's book's central idea


我的感覺 供你參考
歡迎大家提出意見 :laugh

我想這裡應該是問作者對於這本書的看法而非Noble自己的看法, 根據本文"although his argument is impressive when he applies the Marxist concept of “de-skilling", 可以約略發現作者對於此書的態度.

我對這題的看法是因為他問的是author "commend" Noble's book
所以就找作者態度是positive的部分
作者對E的內容是impressive
所以選(E) 不知道這樣的思路對不對?
