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.
The examples given by the writer in Paragraph  serve ______.
选项 A、to prove the high technology has a promising future
B、to support his assumption of new type of teamwork in the preceding paragraphs
C、to show that it tends to be an end to teamwork soon
D、to indicate the computer-assisted team effort just means investigation and simulation
答案B
解析 例证题。在考试中经常会遇到这样的题型：作者通过例子告诉我们什么或说明什么。这种题的答案通常是例子前面一句总结性的话，偶尔是在段末表示总结的话。第五段用了工程师、建筑师和医生的例子主要说明前面总结性的观点：计算机的网络使不同地区的人相互合作，而这是高科技给团队工作带来的新特点。所以选项B正好说明例子的作用。而选项A、c和D并不是第五段例子的作用。
