问题     Are you a team person? Are you at your best as part of a small ,tightly united group of dedicated workers? If so, the future may hold more for you than you think.
    High technology, some predicted, would make team work a thing of the past. That’s happening in those areas of business and data processing where one person and a computer can replace a team of workers.
    But, elsewhere, teamwork is very much alive. High technology has led to a new type of teamwork in a number of fields, including advertising,  scientific research, engineering design,  architecture and ocean exploration.
    Through computer networking,  scientists,  engineers,  and technicians at different locations--often thousands of miles apart--can work on the same project at once. They can exchange ideas, try out different designs, and test their results.
    Examples? An engineering team can now design and try out a robot system--a new manufacturing process, or an entire factory--before it is built. An architectural team can do the same with a building or a bridge. A medical team can simulate a dangerous operation before performing it on a patient.
    Of course, computer-assisted team effort doesn’t end with investigation and simulation. It now usually continues into actual design, manufacturing, and testing. "CAD--CAM--computer-aided design and manufacture--is breaking down barriers between traditional design and manufacturing functions." explains Dr. Prakash Rao, an engineering manager at General Electric. "Interdisciplinary (跨学科的) teams and engineers follow a product from concept to production. Everything is interconnected like a network."
    Sometimes, a computer-aided effort can extend beyond production. A team that produces robots may use them to explore space and ocean depths. For high-technology teamwork, the future seems limitless.
The author’s attitude towards the introduction of the computer to teamwork is of one ______.
选项 A、objection
B、indifference
C、support
D、doubt
答案C
解析 推论题。本题要求推断出作者对于把计算机引入团队工作之中的态度。这种题目通常是每次必考，有一定的难度。通常作者对文章主题和观点的态度的判定可以从如下方面着手：1．文章主题，特别是两种观点的对比，这时可以通过关联副词和连词判断取舍；2．通过词汇手段、词汇的褒贬和色彩；3．文章的体裁，比如在文章中根本没有出现“I”和“we”等的说明文章中，作者通常是客观的。而本文的主题是：有些人预测高科技使得团队工作成为过去，但是高科技仍然使得团队工作依然存在，而且有了新的形式。这种模式清楚表明作者支持新的以计算机辅助为特点的团队工作；同时根据“hold more…the future seems limitless”等词语也表明作者的态度。
