问题     AlphaGo’ s victory over Go (围棋) champion Lee Se -dol reportedly shocked artificial intelligence experts, who thought such an event was 10 to 15 years away. But if the timing was a surprise, the outcome was not. On the contrary, it was inevitable and entirely foreseeable.
    Playing complex games is precisely what computers do supremely well. Just as they beat the world champions at checkers (跳棋) and then chess, they were destined to beat the champion at Go. Yet I don’ t believe, as some do, that human defeats like this one presage an era of mass unemployment in which awesomely able computers leave most of us with nothing to do. Advancing technology will profoundly change the nature of high-value human skills and that is threatening, but we aren’ t doomed.
    The skills of deep human interaction, the abilities to manage the exchanges that occur only between people, will only become more valuable. Three of these skills stand out: The first, the foundation of the rest, is empathy, which is more than just feeling someone else’ s pain. It’ s the ability to perceive what another person is thinking or feeling, and to respond in an appropriate way.
    The second is creative problem-solving in groups. Research on group effectiveness shows that the key isn’ t team cohesion or motivation or even the smartest member’ s IQ; rather, it’ s the social sensitivity of the members, their ability to read one another and keep anyone from dominating.
    The third critical ability, somewhat surprisingly, is storytelling, which has not traditionally been valued by organizations. Charts, graphs and data analysis will continue to be important, but that’ s exactly what technology does so well. To change people’ s minds or inspire them to act, tell them a story.
    These skills, though basic to our humanity, are fundamentally different from the skills that have been the basis of economic progress for most of human history, such as logic, knowledge and analysis, which we learned from textbooks and in classrooms. By contrast, the skills of deep human interaction address the often irrational reality of how human beings behave, and we find them not in textbooks but inside ourselves. As computers master ever more complexity, that’ s where we’ 11 find the source of our continued value.
    The word "presage" (Para.  2)  is closest in meaning to "__________".
选项 A、survive
B、suffer
C、invent
D、predict
答案D
解析 释义题。四个备选项的意思分别为：survive“生存”，suffer“受折磨”，invent“发明”，predict“预测”。根据题干定位到文章第二段第三句“Yet I don’t believe，as some do．that human defeats like this one presage an era of mass unemployment in which awesomely able computers leave most of US with nothing to do．”可知，有人认为，这次人类的失败预示着一个大规模失业时代的到来，令人敬畏的电脑会让我们大多数人无事可做。我却不这么认为。因此作者不相信计算机会取代人类，使人类无事可做、大批失业，我们可以判断出这是未来可能发生的事情，所以presage的意思应该与未来发生的事情有关，浏览一下所给的四个选项，只有D选项最符合，故选D。
