B.they are empowered to make individual decisions
C.they are not forced to boost creavitivity and productivity
D.they can take a relief to poke fun at their boss

参考答案

A

答案解析

从文中我们可以推断之所以20世纪60年代的广告人比现在的办公室员工更快乐主要是因为________。
[A]他们能够自由地享受简单而又自发的快乐
[B]他们被赋权做出个人的选择
[C]他们没有被迫提高创造力和生产力
[D]他们可以开开老板的玩笑来减压
【答案】A推理引申题
【解析】这一道推理引申题牵涉对全文主旨内容的理解。开篇即提出了20世纪60年代的广告达人们比现在的员工快乐,核心的原因应该是他们能够享受简单而又自发的快乐。
[A]正确,要注意这里更强调“自发”这个词,与“强制”相对。[B]设置了干扰词,empower,这个词在文中第三段第一句中就提到过。20世纪60年代的广告人确实有权做很多现在的员工不能做的事情,比如在办公室抽烟,在午餐时间喝酒,但是“被赋权做出个人的选择”这一描述过于笼统,现在的员工也可能拥有很多20世纪60年代的广告人没有享受的权利。[C]中出现了干扰词“创造力”和“生产力”,这些词在第三段和第四段都提到过,这两段都暗示了“快乐崇拜”的企业理念背后是管理者希望提高生产力的愿望,虽然现在的员工确实因为意识到了这一点而变得不那么快乐,但是反过来说60年代的人更快乐是因为他们没有被迫去提高创造力和生产力,这种说法并不能成立。[D]设置干扰词poke fun at their boss,在最后一段,原文说现在的员工只能通过开开老板玩笑来抒发心中的郁闷,并不是指60年代的广告人,因此这里是偷梁换柱。

  The relentless march of technology into everyday life has always given rise to debate about whether it is a good or a bad thing.Some believe that the Internet and computer software are making humans more stupid or shallow.But others argue that computer programs in the form of video games can make people smarter or improve specific skills,suchas spatial awareness.
  Shawn Green and Alexandre Pouget,from the University of Rochester,in New York state,set out to find an answer.Their study,reported in Current Biology,involved a number of experiments.In one,the participants had to watch 12 dots moving randomly on a screen and quickly assess their aggregate direction of movement.Another test asked participants to work out the direction of specific sounds embedded within stereo white noise.In both tests the video.gamers did better.However,the scientists were aware that gamers could have been born with improved abilities to perform such tasks,which were possibly what attracted them to gaming in the first place.Consequently,a third test was necessary to see if these abilities could have been learnt.
  The non.gaming volunteers were put through 50 hours of video—game training.For some this involved playing fast-action shoot-'em-up games such as“Call of Duty 2”and“Unreal Tournament”.but others were given a slow-moving life—strategy game,“The Sims 2”.The researchers found that those trained with action games raised their performance to the level of the experienced garners.Moreover,they were more efficient in their use of visual or auditory evidence than those playing with the Sims.
  The researchers conclude that fast action video-games players develop an enhanced sensitivity to what is going on around them and that this may help with activities such as multitasking,driving,reading small print,navigation and keeping track of friends or children in a crowd.The precise neural mechanism for this effect,however,is still unknown.
  What is known is that people make decisions based on probabilities that are constantly being calculated and refined in their heads--something called“probabilistic inference”.The brain collects small pieces of information,eventually gathering enough to make an accurate decision.When driving a car,for example,many probabilities will be collated to make decisions such as whether or not to brake.The more efficient someone is at coUecting visual and auditory information,the faster he can reach the threshold needed to make a decision.
  Shawn Green,Alexandre Pouget suggest that reaction times in the population will probably improve with the rise of fast—action videO—games.There are a lot of players:last year a report estimated that 67%of American households contained at least one video-gamer.And if video—gamers are really better equipped to make quick decisions.they might also turn out to be better drivers and end up in fewer accidents.However,the notion that gamers acquire some minor physical skills may not pacify concerned parents.What,after all,of the skills they are not acquiring when shooting virtual cops instead of reading or talking?
The problem of first two experiments lies in that______.
A.they are too simple to support researchers’assumption
B.they do lead to unambiguous conclusion
C.they focus on irrelevant skills of participants
D.they do not seperate video-gamers from non-gamers
A.the skills of playing video games can be perfected by practice
B.playing video games make people smarter
C.those who play action video games are more efficient in collecting sensory information around them
D.videO.garners’performance in fulfilling specific tasks is better than non-gamers
A.visual and auditory information in the surroundings
B.meaningful processing of relevant information
C.rapid calculating of the possibility of an event
D.quickly reaching the threshold of decision—making
