Artificial intelligence,or AI,is called artificial for a good reason.Facebook made that point last week by ending its attempt to rely heavily on software algorithms to select news items for its 2 billion users.It announced Jan.19 that the Facebook"community"will be asked to rank news outlets by their trustworthiness.This reader feedback will promote"high quality news that helps build a sense of common ground"in a world with"so much division,"said chief executive Mark Zuckerberg.The first surveys have started in the United States and will soon expand to other countries.The company plans to include the local news outlets of users in its surveys.Like many digital platforms that act as news providers,Facebook had great faith in a belief that programmed electrons in computer servers can discern qualities of thought such as trust,fairness,and honesty.Even in respected newsrooms,however,these traits of character require constant upkeep among journalists and feedback from paying customers.Good judgment on news relies on orders of consciousness beyond what a machine can do.Rather than move toward becoming a hands-on gatekeeper of news,Facebook now hopes its"diverse and representative"sampling of users can lead to a ranking of news outlets-and that would bring a measure of objectivity in its news feed.The company may be in the news business but it has chosen to outsource news credibility to the collective wisdom of individuals and their ability to distinguish truth from falsehood.By placing its trust in people as seekers of truth,Facebook could earn greater trust from its users.This is also a lesson for many companies,especially digital platforms or those in the media business.According to the latest survey of trust in institutions worldwide by Edelman communications firm,"media has become the least-trusted institution for the first time,"more so than other businesses or government.In particular,the US is"enduring an unprecedented crisis of trust"among many of its institutions,says Richard Edelman,president and CEO of Edelman."The root cause of this fall is the lack of objective facts and rational discourse,"he adds.Facebook's shift away from computer-driven news selection is a welcome step toward restoring trust in the overall business of news.This is not a new problem."Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper,"wrote Thomas Jefferson in 1807.Yet the Digital Age has forced the issue of trust for news providers.By inviting readers to participate in solving this problem,Facebook has itself set a new bar for earning trust.In the last paragraph,Thomas Jefferson's words are cited to indicateA.the poor quality of newspapers nowadays.B.the long-standing trust issue in news businesses.C.the problems arising from Facebook's shift.D.the issue of trust in the Digital Age.
选项
A.the poor quality of newspapers nowadays.
B.the long-standing trust issue in news businesses.
C.the problems arising from Facebook's shift.
D.the issue of trust in the Digital Age.
答案
B
解析
末段首句指出,Facebook的转变朝向恢复用户对新闻业的信任迈出了可喜一步。第二句直接指出这并非新问题。第三句则援引杰斐逊1807年所言“现在的报纸上没有什么可以相信的”。可见,援引目的在于证明新闻可信度问题古已有之,B.正确。[解题技巧]A.源于引言“现在的报纸上没有什么可以相信的”(Nothing can now be believed.…)。但据下文可知,此处“现在”指1807年,而非当下(nowadays),且“报纸质量低劣”一说与文意存在偏差。C.将末段②句This is not a new problem中This误解为“Facebook转变带来的问题”,而结合前文可知,This指代“新闻业信任问题”,而Facebook转变有益于问题的解决。D.源自末段④句,但选项问题有二:一、Yet表明该句相对引言已发生语义转折,并非引言说明对象;二、该句意指“数字时代迫使新闻提供者们直面信任问题”而非“数字时代信任缺失”。选项不仅偏离原文方向,且放大原文范围(将“新闻业的信任问题”放大到“整个社会的信任缺失”)。一、借助首段特点确定首段
