Telecommunications is just one of the means by which people communicate and, as such, we need to look at telecommunications and any other communications technologies within the wider context of human communication activity. Early findings show that many people are uneasy and even fearful of information technology by avoiding it or by using it in minimal ways.
To obtain this type of data we have spent time with individuals, watching how they communicate where they get confused, what they don’t understand and the many mistakes they make. You can do this type of research yourself in an informal way. Just watch someone at the desk next to you trying to use a phone or trying to fill in a form. What you will quickly notice about people on the phone is that they use very few of the buttons available on the keypad, and they get quite anxious if they have to use any buttons outside their normal ones. Most will not use the instruction book, and those that do will not necessarily have a rewarding experience. Watch someone fill out a form — a good meaty one such as an application form or a tax form-and you will see a similar pattern of distressed behavior.
The simple fact we can all observe from how people use these ordinary instruments of everyday communication is how messy, uncertain and confusing the experience can be. Now multiply these individual close encounters of the communicative kind to take account of the full range you may experience in a single day, from getting up in the morning until you go to bed at night and the world takes on a slightly different appearance.
Even watching television which for many provides an antidote to the daily confusion is itself fraught with a kind of low level confusion. For example, if you ring people up five minutes after the evening news has finished and ask them what the news was about, many cannot remember, and those who do remember get some of it wrong.
One of the reasons why this obvious confusion gone unnoticed is because "communication" is a word we associate with success, and therefore we expect the process to work effectively most of the time. To suggest otherwise is to challenge one of our society’s most deeply held beliefs. [br] The writer includes the example of watching TV in Paragraph 4 for the purpose of______.
选项
A、illustrating that watching TV itself is a source of low-level confusion
B、recommending that watching TV is an antidote to removing confusion
C、indicating that TV viewers cannot remember all its programs
D、supporting the view that all people poor and rich, enjoy watching TV
答案
A
解析
细节题。由第四段段首主题句“Even watching television whichfor many provides an antidote to the daily confusion is itself fraught with a kindof low level confusion”可知,哪怕看电视被很多人看作消除日常信息混乱的方法,其本身也充斥着一种程度较低的信息混乱。紧接着作者以看电视新闻为例,指出人们看电视也不能获得准确全面的信息。可见,此例是为了阐释段首主题句的。因此正确答案为A项。
