Question

A lift is wonderful. It is really only a small room. Rooms usually stay in one place. Lifts travel up and down all day long.

Sometimes a worker stands in the lift. He or she operates it up and down. In modern lifts there is no worker. The people walk in. They know what floor they want. They push a button and the lift goes to that floor. It is all very fast and easy.

Lifts are very important to us. Why? Think about a tall building. Maybe it has twenty floors. Maybe it has fifty or more. Who can walk up all the stairs? Maybe people can climb them one time. Can someone climb thirty floors to an office every day? Can small children walk up to their room on the twenty-fourth floor? Can their mother and father carry food up all those stairs? Of course not.

We can have high buildings because we have lifts. We could not have all the beautiful tall buildings in the world without lifts. They are really wonderful.

2.They push a button and the lift goes to that floor.可知，電梯里面是必須要按鈕的；故A項錯誤；In modern lifts there is no worker. 可知B項錯誤；The people walk in. They know what floor they want.是說當人們走進電梯時，他們知道自己去哪一個樓梯，而不是說電梯本身知道人們的去向；故D項錯誤；由此可知，在沒有工人操作的情況下，乘坐電梯的人自己就可以操作，實現電梯的升降；故選C。
