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. [br] The words "hold more" (Line 2, Para. 1) most probably means ______.
选项 A、keep more in the store
B、give more rights
C、keep more interested
D、maintain more chances
答案 D
解析 语义题。阅读中词语的理解应该首先分析含有该词的句子，同时也不能脱离短文主题。本文讨论的是团队工作在新的高科技时代的新特点和将来的趋势，作者对团队工作持有的是支持态度。同时根据第一段第二、三句话：“如果你在一个小的、紧密团结的和专注的团队里能表现卓著的话，将来提供给你的要远远多于你设想的”。所以选项D为最佳答案。
