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.
Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
选项 A、Many fields of science and technology are now using electronic computers effectively.
B、High technology is nothing but a new type of teamwork plus CAD and CAM.
C、No details are given in the passage about barriers between traditional design and manufacturing functions.
D、Experts from different fields have to cooperate to develop a product from concept to production.
答案B
解析 是非题。要求综合理解文章，根据文章的内容和信息判断正误。该种题型浪费时间，我们最好用逐个淘汰筛选法。选项A“科技工作的许多领域现在很有效果地利用计算机”；选项B“高科技只是一种计算机辅助和计算机制造的团队工作”；选项C“在文章中关于传统的设计和制造业的功能方面的鸿沟没有给予细节”；选项D“不同领域的专家们互相合作，跨越从概念到生产的产品开发过程”。根据文章的主题和细节，选项B的内容太绝对，同时根据第六段的第一、二句话：“计算机辅助的团队工作并不只是调查和模拟……而且继续进入真正的设计、制造和检测阶段”，该选项的内容又太片面。
