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] According to the passage the writer believes that ______.
选项 A、the concept of teamwork is still alive and no longer the same as the past
B、teamwork will be completely replaced by computers
C、high technology would make teamwork a thing of the past
D、teamwork requires more use of computers than that of human beings
答案 A
解析 主旨题。本题考查作者的观点，注意像这种“先驳后立”的文章：有些人预测高科技使得团队工作成为过去，但是在文章第三段，作者话锋一转，认为高科技使得团队工作依然存在，而且有了新的形式。所以根据像“but，however，nevertheless，nonetheless，while，although，though”等转折性副词和连词可以确定后一种观点通常是文章观点。所以本题选A；而选项B和C是要批驳的观点；选项D是造成观点的原因。
