参考答案：A

解析：[听力原文]Today in the techno-society there is an almost ironclad consensus about the future of freedom. Maximum individual choice is regarded as the democratic ideal. Yet most writers predict that we shall move further and further from this ideal. They conjured up a dark vision of the future, in which people appear as mindless consumer creatures, surrounded by standardized goods, educated in standardized schools, fed a diet of standardized mass culture, and forced to adopt standardized styles of life. Such predictions have spawned a generation of future haters and technophobes, as one might expect.

[分析]： 观点态度的判断。 题干要求判断作者对多数作家关于未来的预测所持的态度。根据原文Yet most writers predict that we shall move further and further from this ideal．They conjured up a dark vision of the future... 然而大多数作家预言我们的未来生活将越来越偏离这一理想，他们认为未来是黑暗的。显然，作者认为那些作家对未来的预测持悲观态度。因此，A项内容与原文相符合，是正确答案。[解题关键] 1)通过表示转折关系的信号词，如本题原文中的yet可判断作者的观点态度；2)能够把握某些短语隐含的意义，如本题中dark vision传递出的一种对未来的悲观态度。
