问题 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.The author holds that Facebook's shift isA.a lesson for news providers on filtering news.B.the cause of the trust crisis across business of news.C.a step towarcl restoring users'trust in news business.D.the result of lacking objective facts and rational discourse.
选项 A.a lesson for news providers on filtering news.
B.the cause of the trust crisis across business of news.
C.a step towarcl restoring users'trust in news business.
D.the result of lacking objective facts and rational discourse.
答案 C
解析 题目考查作者对Facebook转变的看法，该信息集中于第五、六两段。第五段指出，Facebook的做法／转变可以为其赢得用户信任，而整个新闻业目前正陷于信任危机。第六段首句进而指出．Facebook的做法是向恢复用户对新闻业信任迈出的可喜一步，综合可得C.正确。[解题技巧]A.来源于第五段②句a lesson for many companIes，但结合整段可知，此处的lesson（经验、启示）是指“获取用户信任”，而非“筛选新闻”。B.源于第五段提及的美国信任危机（unprecedented crisis of trust），但作者意在以“Facebook转变是化解危机的可喜一步”凸显转变的意义，并非说明它是危机成因。D.将第五段末句缺乏客观事实和理性对话的结果“信任危机（crisis of trust-this fall所指）”偷换为“Facebook的转变（Facebook's shift）”。
